H URING childhood the foundation
of future health and character
is laid, and care should be taken
during these first years of a
ehnd's life to keep things as sunshiny
as possible It is as natural for a child
TO be cheerful and good-natured as it
is for kitten to play or a bird TO
sing, and when signs of fretrulness and
bad temper arise, 1t behooves the
mother to look for the cause. She will
usually find it in some slight physical

exercise and fresh air.
Keep your children healthy. and you
are apt to find them a merry lot and
easy to manage One of the most fire.
quent sources Of neglect is in not keep
ing children out OF doors more.
You must not expect them to stay out
Of doors unless they have something TO
interest them, and for this reason every
mother should try 50 invent games and
pastfmes that viii keep them out in the
pure. fresh air. one or two hours out
of twenty-four in fresh air is not enough
for children. II they are to have the best
chance of growing up strong and vigor-

halation of pure air if you would have

pure blood; and remember. too. what is
often forgotten-that children need a
plentiful supply of oxygen even more
urgently than grown people, and oxygen
is a sufficient amount we can only find
in the air out of dors.
In summer il is particularly easy to
manage SO that many hours may be
spent In the open air. There is no doubt
that this is more difficult in town than
in the country. ravertheless. it can be
accomplished if there ia even a small
garden al the back of the house.
Of course. the air in these back yards
is not so good as the air in the country
or at the shore, but ii is Infinitely bet
ter than the air indoors.
A swing can always be fixed up at
little expense, and il affords outdoor oc-
cupation, amusement. and exercise of
q wholesome kind. At surprisingly
early age children can be encouraged
to take an interest in a flower bed. the
digging always appeals TO them. and
frequently il develops an idea of beau
tifytng rather than destroying public or
other property.
There are innumerable garden games,
and new ones coming along all the
time Quoits. ninepins battIedore. and
shuttlecock. archery. beanbag, are all
games that will keep children amused
out of doors, which should be the aim
OF every mother.
It is a good thing to keep time table
OF just how many hours your children
spend in the open air, Do not punish
the little ones for fretting until you
find out why they fret: consult your
time tabfe-the reason may be there.
