Hy omei is prescribed by physicians

The complete Hyomei outfit consists
OF neat inhaler, that is SO small and

proverbs
When the butter won't

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
Droverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
odd why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
With some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
5tomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is so perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.

SONG OF SOCKS AND SHOES.

The little pink pigs have been roofing
around,
Roofing around all night,
Though | warned them they must slum-
Der sound
Till the blink of the morning light;
l warned them well, as the owner l gowned
And snuggled them warm and tight.
But though l told them they mustn't peep
The little pink pigs have been roofing
about;
I warned them one, and warned them ten,
So now they must go in the sock and-shoe
pen,
The pen of the sock and shoe.
First the sock and then the shoe; it's nearly
eight o'clock!
Lock the little pigs in the sock,
Shoe the little pigs in the shoe,
Den the little pigs in the pen,
The pen Of the shoe and SOCK.
The little pink pigs, with wiggle and
dive,
All under the gown they run,
While the owner watches me coax and
drive
And giggIes a gale at the fun,
And squeals as I swoop on drove OF five
And capture the FIVE in one.
Oh, the little pink pigs have been roofing
about,
peep out,
So 1 capture five, and capture ten
And drive them into the sock and-shoe
pen,
The pen Of the sock and shoe
First the sock and then the shoe. and then
the shoe and sock;
Lock the little pigs in the sock,
Shoe the little pigs in the shoe,
Den the little pigs in the pen,
It's almost eight o'clock!

ANOTHER AMUSING PUZZLE
How to Make a Fragile Pendulum
Which Will Prove Surprise
to All Who See It.

You know, of course, that if you fill a
tumbler or goblet to the brlm, or a little
above the brim-for you can pile up"
the water little bit by pouring very
carefully-and then press a large card
down tightly on the top of the filled glass
with one hand, grasp the glass with the
other, and turn it upside down, you can
take away the hand that holds the card
without splitting drop of water. The
card will stick to the edge of the glass
as if it were glued there, and it will hold
up the glassful of water.
You know. too, that it is the pressure
of the air that supports the card and the
water. The air presses upward on the
lower face of the card with force Of Is
pounds for every square inch of surface,
and as the top of the glass measures five
or six square inches, there will be pres
sure of rs or 80 pounds to hold up the
card and water, which weigh only about
half pound.
1t is only the size Of the mouth of the
glass, not the size of the whole card,
that counts, because on the outside part
of the card the air presses up and down
with equal force, and so has no effect.
Now, as the force of the air is many
times stronger than is needed to lift the
water, suppose We make it lift some
thing else in addition, say the heavy
glass.
To do this, press the card on the full
glass as before, but instead of invertlng
the glass life up the card by two opposite
corners. If you are very careful and the
card is very stiff you may succeed in lift
ing glass, water, and all in this way, but
the card is apt to bend and let in little
air somewhere, which, of course, spoils
the trick Here is better plan.
Make a little hole in the middle Of
the card, pass a cord through the hole,

ADVENTURE OF LADY GRAY
Pet Cat, Intent on Securing a Taste
of Rabbit, Falls Into a Pail
of Water.

This story would have never been
written if Tom Jones had not gone
hunting the week before Thanksgiving
and shot two rabbits. They were sleek
and fat and so large that Tommy was
very proud of them. After they had been
admired to his hearts content he hung
them up in the shed until he could find
time to dress them.
While they dangled from the rafters
along came Lady Gray. Lady Gray was
not, as you might think, grown-up
lady, nor was she q dear little girl, but
she was a diginfed old Maltese pussy,
who belonged to Myrtle Long ago
when Lady Gray was just kitten, bub-
bling over with fun and mischief, the
family called her Kitty Katt.
Afterward, when the blue eyes turned
to topaz and she left off playing with

strings and settled down to mouse
catching, they one and all decided that
it would never do to call such staid old
named her Lady Gray.
AS she grew in size and strength it.
seemed to fit her perfectly. She had
beautiful fur of soft silver maltese with
tiny bow Of white under her chin and
a touch of it On one slender paw. She
was very proud of these marks and took
great care to keep them spotlessly
white.
Lady Gray considered the shed her
special property. There was hole cut
through the wall so that she might come
and go when she pleased and her basket
and saucer were always kept in this
room. When she strolled in after
Tommy went out, she spied the rabbits
the very first thing.
"Ho, no." she thought, $50 Tommy has
been hunting, has he? wondered
where he was going when 1 saw him go
through the corn field. He frightened
away the gopher l was watching and
never so much as said he was sorry.
How would he like to have somebody
scare away his game when he had it al
most caught?"
Lady Gray was an honest cat. She
was proud of the fact and so were all
the family. They often left her alone
in the kitchen within easy reach of the
most delicious smelling dishes and she
never once had touched them. But now
she was hungry and disappointed over
the loss of her gopher. She looked visit
fully at the rabbits.
""They are very fat" she thought
81 wonder if Myrtle will save some for
me. Rabbit stews are very good, so are
rabbits raw"
She moved step nearer and licked her
chops. cit is a long jump. I never
could make it. There is nothing to cling
to but the rabbits themselves. If fell
L should hurt my head"
Sniff, sniff, she came a little nearer
and little nearer, until she stood be-
meath them. Then she gathered her 1.-THE
body together, just as if she were going
to pounce on mouse, and jumped. She
caught the bodies of the rabbits with her
sharp claws and there she hung, swing
ing back and forth, for all the world
like a canary in cage. Before she had
time to take so much as a bite, the door
opened, and there stood Myrtle.
'Why, Lady Gray!" she said, 81
thought you were an honest pussy!"
Poor Lady Gray was so ashamed she
did not know what to do. She wished she
could crawl away under the barn and
hide. Without ever looking to see
where she was going to land, she jumped
and went head first into pail of water
She was sorry sight when she
scrambled out. Tiny rivulets of water
dripped from her pretty fur coat and
she shivered with the cold. How she did
wish she had left those rabbits alone
When Myrtle saw how cold she was
she stopped laughing and took her into
the kitchen. Then she rubbed her until
her fur was quite dry. But not until
many weeks afterward could she be in
duced to go into the shed and she never
has touched rabbit since. If Tommy
hangs them within reach she pretends
not to see them.-Pearl Howard Camp

Plea for the Old Sheep.

Small Harry was saying his prayers
at his mothers knee, and she was
helping him out with few sugges-
lions. "Bless and take care of the lit
tie lambs of the flock" she said. Now
Harry knew that he was included
among the lambs, and he reasoned
that his parents should not be forgot
ten. ''Bless and take care of the lit
tie lambs Of the flock" he repeated,
then added: "And, Lord, l guess you
had better keep an eye on the old
sheep, too"

Over 10000 cattle in Russia wear
spectacles. They are of smoke-colored
glass, and are used to prevent snow
blindness. Through the snow of the
plains tufts of grass force their way,
and on these the cattle feed. The
glare of the sun on the snow causes
blindness, and to protect the animals
the spectacles have been fitted over
their eyes.
