Teaching the Nurse by Object Lessons
PHILADELPHIA Call

A lady overheard her nurse girl talking

and among Othe legends Of the nursery in
which she indulged was this: If Won don't

of fire, and sharp. white. cruel teeth. will
come out from under the bed and e-a-t-y-,,-ll-

down under the clothes to dream of hUrrid
bears eating her up. That night when the
>tOlid nurse had composed herself in her
own comfortable bed and had put the lamp
out there came a sudden rap at the door.
and the voice of the mistress called loudly
through the panels: Maggie Maggie, get
up as quick as YOU can, There's burglar
under your bed" Atthe word burglar the
girl sprang screaming from the bed, tore
open the door and fell into Mysteries in the
hall. The lesson was mere instructive than
the mistress designed. but when the girls
fears had calmed she said to her: You did
not hesitate to tell my little delicate child.

All should look out for impure water.
Most country homes are supplied with water

immediately around, and simply trickles
down through the soil and loose earth into
the well When surroundings are cleanly,
these wells usually contain pure water; other
wise they become filthy and dangerous In
seasons of drought all such wells become low,
