Don't Over-Dress the Baby.

1t would be a great thing if
only we could realize that the
whole array of coarse factory
made laces and embroideries have
no place in the wardrobe of the
baby, that this kind of trimming is
never in keeping with the dainty col
Oring of the little one. Not long ago
at a gathering of women, | met a
little mother with her young daugh-
ter, of two months, pale, delicate,
fretful little baby, arrayed in it's
best Dress And what sadly
dressed little creature it was! Heavy,
coarse cotton material formed the
body of the robe, which was more or
less tucked, the whole completed by
a flounce of wide, coarse embroidery,
fully yard in depth. The entire
dress, | should say, measured two
and one-half yards in length. The
little head was covered with a fac
tory made bonnet, hot, uncomfort-
able and hideous.
How could a baby be expect
ed to be sweet and happy or to
grow and flourish in such an outfit?
Fancy the weight of clothing borne
by those tiny shoulders, not to men
ton the absolute lack of beauty and
appropriateness. There had been
considerable money and time spent
in making the little dress, enough
money to have bought two or three
dainty dimities, and certainly enough
to have replaced this utterly ugly
garment with the sheerest of thread

A JUNE BUG FENCE.
How the Bramlette Blackberry Patch
Became n Field of Disappointment.


Have you ever seen a fence of
June bugs fifty feet long and four
feet. six and one-half inches high,
and heard that fence sizz-z-z-z-z like
baby cyclone with the asthma? And
then while you gazed with open-eyed,
open-mouthed establishment, seen the
whole thing rise ''bodaciously" in
the air and disappear in the direc
ton OF the Mississippi River-re-
turning and disappearing with the
sun?
If you haven't. now's your chance,
for that notable sight and sound can
be found down in my garden. OF
course, | didn't plant a June bug
patch. | set out a row of cultivated
blackberries. and as soon as it got
four feet high and thick and flourish
ing and berries were ripe and the
back porch full OF glass jars to can
what couldn't be eaten, every June
bug in Middlefork township, not to
mention Southfork and Muddy Creek,
put out for Bramlette. II any are
missing, it's because they are too old
and infirm or too young and helpless
to move, though even then they are
headed in this direction.
Now struggle till | get in the last
ditch, but when that is reached, |
quit. No good contending with fifty
feet OF June bugs. If l lay eyes on
any blackberry pies this summer, it
will be when the neighbors invite
me to bring my quilt pieces and
spend the day. | had the glass jars
put back in the cellar to wait for the
peach crop, and l got out the old
blue-back speller and read about the
hopeful lady who counted imaginary
eggs laid by imaginary hens, selling
them for imaginary money, and buy
ing Herewith an imaginary green
gown because green became her COM
plexion best. Now I've always liked
her because I'm of a hopeful dispo-
sition myself, but all the same, next
summer | shall depend on the old
time, reliable fence-corner, roadside
blackberries that you and | were
brought up on.

Teach the Child to See the Beauty of
Farm Life.

Teach the Child to See the Beauty of
Farm Life.
Here is word for farm education.
We hear so much Of the higher
education" and see so much of
the veneer of culture" that we
become weary and long for the
wholesome, big-hearted contentment
that should come from a knowledge
Of farms and farm life II the boys
and girls are taught to get from them
all they can give.
Such stress has been laid upon the
drudgery of farm life that nearly
every one believes the farmer to be
the hardest worker in the world.
Could we make the boys and girls
understand that whatever Is worth
having comes from drudgery-and
hard drudgery-whether at the plows,
in the work shops or at the desks,
and that success in any direction
means years Of toll and study, we
might be able to keep them at home
1t never can be done with those
who are ambitious for the betterment
OF their condition so long as the un-
lovely. uninteresting, monotonous
life Is theirs.
Why not begin in time to instill
into young minds a love for the
beautiful things God has given to
the country-an insight into the
lives Of birds. bees and flowers,
not from the financial side alone,
but from the esthetic as we'll?
Teach the children the harmony
OF bird music, the beauties of
trees and blossoms: how the cum
ming seed develops into root and
branch and leaf and by subtle COM
binations yields rich fruits for man 3

mountains, valley and sky. To be a
relief; the pictures nature paints on
ing one Of hurrying. tired crowd in
dusty street. To be In the broad
cotton fields. the blue sky above and
the free, pure air around is better
than standing in a narrow passage
between shelf and counter measuring
cotton by the yard.
1t is the false ideas of ease and
comfort which tempt our children
to towns.
The constant ding-dong of money
values into a child's ear makes him
grow hard as the dollars he covets.
Let us insist upon a course of study
embracing study of nature in all
it's various aspects. Create an inter-
est in life-something to keep the
mind busy with the real things that
make for happiness, and contentment
will follow as surely as day follows
night. EVA l.. BARRON.

cult to clean cramped, crooked teeth.
With crooked teeth it is impossible
to chew the food perfectly and a dis
figured mouth means disarranged
nerves.
The child with decayed teeth, even
with unclean teeth. is open to in
lection Of lungs, tonsils, stomach,
ears, nose. Every time food is taken,
and at every act of swallowing, the
food must pass over these germ-in-
fected bodies into the stomach, carry
ing disease and decay with it,
Mouth breathers with teeth in this
condition cannot get one breath OF
air that is not contaminated air, for
every breath becomes poisoned in
passing over these germ and decay
laden teeth. Bad teeth are frequent
~ the cause of defective eyesight,
headaches, dyspepsia and ear trouble.
All decay OF human teeth starts
from the outside. A perfectly clean
tooth will not decay unless particles
of food remain between the teeth
long enough to decompose. Decay.
therefore, always means uncleanness.
The Armenian children are taught
to clean their teeth after eating, even
II only an apple between meals. They
covet beautiful teeth. Parents should
early learn that a dentist in time
saves nine. that the time TO begin
attention with the children is with
the coming of the first baby tooth,
that the child's teeth should be
clcansed at least twice daily. that no
family investment will pay better
than the price OF regular. prompt

Gently, on entering the house. II am

day. and the only reason I didn't was
because thought could come any
day. I finally got here through the
interest Of a young son of mine. He
came home from school the other day
bubbling over with Paul Revere's
ride. that the teacher had been read
Ing to him. He asked question after
question that I was not able to an
swer. What did Paul Revere's house
look like-how old was 1t now?' His
teacher said 1t was about 100 years
old when Paul bought it-a fact that
was news to me. The teacher also
told him there was an old fint.lock
fowling piece in the house which was
Paul's own gun. and that youngster
wanted to know Just what It looked
like. and how was 1t different from
other guns. The lad stumped me. SO
I said wouldn't put on this visit an
