Healthy Children.

Without good health life is not worth
living. Sickly, peevish children are
a source of endless trouble and anxiety
to their parents, yet the children's con.
dition is frequently due to their par
ents' ignorance or thong htlessr ess OF
both.
To make children healthy and to
keep them in that condition 1t is neces-
sary to feed them proper food and to
see that they get plenty of exercise and
fresh air. Meat is very bad, for chill
dren. 1t should be avoided sand food
rich in phosphates, such as Pillsbury' 3
Vitos, should be given it its place.
This food is truly the "mest of the
wheat" 1t is made by the worlds
greatest millers and it is free from art
ificial coloring. or adulteration. 1t is
not especially ohild's food. Your
whole family will enjoy this common
sense cereal. 1t makes q wholesome,
su bstantial breakfast, or an appetizlng
dessert. and can be prepared in one
hundred different ways.
Every good grocer will supply you
with Pillsburys Vitos. Large pack
age-enough to make twelve pounds Of
strength building food, 20o. Ask your
grocer about it today.

REPRESENTED,

1t is not until extraordinary settings
are to be presented-winter scenes,
rain scenes or birds in flight, for in

best ingenuity and inventiveness, says
Pearson's Magazine. A group Of musk
oxen, for example, require foot Of
snow. The beasts are shown, males,
females and their calves, knee deep in
snow, which is nothing cooler than
granulated paraffin. The animals are
startled and stop to gaze, but, as seen
by their tracks, they have been root
ing for the sparse grass beneath the
heavy fall and their SHOUTS and faces
show frozen snow dust-melted par

scene with Opaque ice is required, par
ATTN in sheets strikingly lends itself to
the illusion. And as hoar frost is
made, SO Is snow dust initiated
a rain scene is artistically initiated
by means of glycerin. Leaves of trees
and twigs and shrubs are coated with
this liquid, which. when thinly spat-
leTeu over tlle luI VI ulOulltci ull-
NAL, looks exactly like fallen mist or
condensed fog, or like early morning
dew.
Birds in fight. like the larger ami
mails, are mounted after instantaneous
photographs. With wings and tail
feathers spread, and with legs lying
close, they appear to soar in a general
direction, no two birds, however. be-
ing posed anywhere near alike, and
even the angle of flight varying with
the individual, as is made possible by
their suspension with invisible plati-
mum wires. Not only are such brt2;
