Mothers very often sigh for some
thing wherewith to occupy the rest
less fingers of their little girls on
rainy days when play out of doors
cannot be thought of and in the even
ings when the little ones crave foI
something to do before bedtime
comes.
Why not set them to rugmaking;
Little 6-year-olds in elementary
schools love this occupation, which is
worthy of an introduction into the
home circle. with its pleasant voIun-
tary tolls.
The materials needed are knitting
cotton and two knitting needles. The
cotton is to be cut into uniform
lengths of about three inches. To
cut it an excellent plan is to wind the
cotton upon a round ruler, then with
sharp pair of scissors to cut tbs
thread along the whole length of the
ruler.
To begin the knitting, an uneven
number Of stitches is cast on and foul
or five rows knitted plainly; then on
the second stitch OF the row to bt
fringed one OF the lengths Of cut cot
ton is knitted in. The length is sim
ply doubled, and, being placed end tc
end, the loop so formed in the centre
is taken along with the stitch in knit
ting.
All the even stitches take piece OF
cotton fringe on this row. The next
row is knitted plainly; then comes au-
other fringed row. Thus the rows
continue, one fringed, one plain. until
the strip is long enough. If this
strip is knitted in white cotton the
next strip may be in red cotton. the
colors alternating until the requisite
number of strips are knitted, when
they are sewed together to make 4
very handsome striped cotton mat
This method of knitting the fringe
on every alternate row makes a heavily
fringed, pretty and durable rug, very
warm and comfortable for the feet Oh
stepping out OF the bath. As it is alb
sorbent it becomes Of great service,
especially in house where there are
many children TO battle. If the rug
is desired lighter than this, so making
it easier to wash when soiled, the rows
of cotton fringe may be placed Oh
every fourth row instead of upon
every second one.
To vary the patterns in different
rugs the white strips may be knitted
wide aud tho red ones narrow and
vice-versa. Again the alternate rows
of cotton lengths may be knitted red
and white, this plan making an ex-
cellent mat, or perhaps a white rug
with a red border may be liked.
Little fingers grow expert at this
work, and little heads get very inter
ested in it. The knitting not only
gives finger practice and profitable
employment of time, but cultiyates the
faculties of patience and attention no
less than il teaches the duty of using
up all scraps of time. Boston Post.

GIVES CONSIDERABLE CONCERN

Skaters Report as to the Numbsr Of
Cases of Fever Not Encouraging.
WASHINGTON, July 29.-The report
of General Shafter showing that there
were $40 cases Of sickness in the army
in Cuba, has given the officials Of the
war department considerable concern,
but the reports heretofore made that
the yellow fever cases were of a mild
type encourages the hope that the
death rate will be small. The large
number of fever cases reported, 1924,
shows that not only yellow fever, but
typhoid and other kinds are numerous.
Surgeon General Sternberg says that
it is the history Of yellow fever that it
spreads rapidly and having once got
started in the camp, is sure to infect
many soldiers. Speaking of the other
fevers, he said that not only in
Cuba, but in the camps in the United
States. there had been many cases, and
it was the history of all new armies
that ~fevers, especially typhoid, became
quite common. This was due to the
change Of climate and mode of life of
the soldiers. Even where the water
was pure cases would arise. Soldiers
bought and ate many things not fur.
nished by the commissary, such as milk
and other things peddled about the
camps. Often these foods caused sick.
ness. Another feature he mentioned
was the Indifferent care the men took
Of themselves when they join the army.
1t was his belief that as the army be.
less sickness.
