I do not agree with many mothersl who think their child should be taught to be a paragon of neatness and clean- liness. While the rudiments of order and tidiness must be impressed on the| plastic mind-s of our children, we can| not expect them to he contented and happy if never allowed to indulge in any of the amusements dear to the hearts of the little folks, such as blowing soap bubbles or cutting pa-i pets. Of course, it makes mothers more work but it does not make a disagreeable litter to sweep up and either amusement is clean. They both help to develop the child‘s imagina- tion and love of creation, that is a natural trait in any normal child. We save all the scraps of wrapping; paper and now that the older chil- dren are in school, our little tot spends many happy hours making scrap books. He cuts the paper thel right size and with twine and darning néed‘le. sews the sheets together. In these books he pastes bright pictures which he cuts from seed catalogs or magazines. After the little fellow be- comes tired of this amusement, he isl told that it is now time to gather up the scrap papers. He thinks he isl helping and is certainly not having; the idea instilled in his mind that he. Entertainment for the Child. It is not the purpose of this article to teach you to entertain your child, but rather to tell you how to teach your child to entertain himself. His older brothers and sisters are at school and it is often a problem to find some clean and healthy amuseâ€" ments for the little tot.

I would not advise this, however, if the child can not be taught to gather up the toothpicks after playing with them each time. Farms may be laid out, fences built, and even a house and ham added by the use of these little sticks. If you happen to have dye mixed for some other_purpose and will dip a few of the toothpicks in the dye fluid, it will add wonderfully to the attractiveness'of them for the children's playthings, as it is natural for children to love bright objects. is to he waited on, but rather, that he must do his part. If the child is inclined toward a liking for books he should be given every opportunity to develop along this line. It is the early training that forms a good foundation for his school training. He will spend many busy hours making himself acquainted with the characters of his picture book that will help in forming his early impres- sions. ‘ The old-fashioned spool knitting is a favorite with little folks and teachâ€" es patience.

I have used a bread mixer since six years ago last fall. I have a family of eight to cook for, mostly boys, and honestly, I don’t know how I would manage Without it. I bake twice a week, making seven loaves and two pans of plain buns each time. A little girl is never so happy as when “helping mother," even though her help is a bother. My mother used to give me a bit of her bread dough whenever she baked and I was allow- ed to care for the dough and then make it out into a tiny loaf when she made hers out, and when it was baked it ,was my bread for supper. I know it was a great help to me in making me observant of the methods used in housework, and I was more willing to help mother when I was old enough to really be of serviceâ€"Nellie Porter. Another thing I have is two pairs of curtains for each window down- stairs. How often we know we should wash the curtains but there is so much to do that we just put it off and then like a bomb, we get a ietter that a carload of in-laws and some of their Household Helps. With the hens laying well and the cows freshening', and with the sales over, I have quite a bit more money than at any other time in the year. So I buy one thing that will lighten my work. Last year it was a butter worker and bread mixer, this year a cake mixer and pressure cooker. I also buy as many extra staples such as rice, soap, spice, and cornstarch as I can afford. When summer with its extra expenses comes, I have some things ahead. Just before bedtime put one table- spoon of lard in your mixer and pour on it one quart of boiling milk. When lard has melted put in one quart of water, cool enough to make milk luke- warm, then add yeast mixture and ten pounds of flour. Now put on your kneading rod and turn the crank until flour is all mixed in. If dough sticks to finger add a little'more flour and knead again until dough is nice and smooth and does not stick to side of mixer. There is a great difference in flour and some you use more of than others. This makes nine loaves divide the recipeâ€"Mrs. J. Cover the mixer with a cloth, put on cover, and either set in a warm place or cover warme for over night. In the morning knead down well then put in pails. Let rise as usual, and bake.

It is so often stormy that the mother does not get him out in the fresh air as of- ten as she should. He catches colds which rack his little system; his stom- ach ani bowels get out or order and he becomes peevish and cross. To guard against this the mother should keep a box ‘of Baby‘s Own Tablets in the house. They regulate the stomach and bowels. and break up colds.

Tommy had scarcely turned around before blue fish came up behind, and, seizing his other hand crosswise, 1n- flicted some very deep wounds on the back of it. The lad raised his free hand. which was still bleeding, and struck the great fish a hard blow on the head, when it disappeared. The other boys took him to a surgeon. who dressed seven wounds in one hand. and so great was the pain the next day that the lad fainted twice. The little finger was bitter through the nail and It was more than six weeks before it was well. b At that instant a large fish came up and took the whole hand into its mouth, but finding Itself unable to swallow it relinquished its hold. and the boy, tuming round, prepared for a hasty retreat.
