There are many thousands Of people in
this country who have dogs as compan-
ions, without ever thinking Of studying
their points with view either to exhibit
or breed. Such persons are usually con-
tent to have one dog, and he is, as a
rule, the household pet par excellence.
In nine cases out OF ten they do not know
too much about the proper treatment of
a dog in health, and very little indeed
about how to treat the poor fellow when
he happens to fall sick.
There are plenty OF dogs advertised,
and plenty Of rogues advertise them, too.
II Is really marvellous how easily people
when purchasing either dog or a par
rot. My advice Is to obtain a puppy only
from a recognized breeder, You will then
be sure you are getting what you want.
1t is best to have your dog as q puppy,

weil-bred puppy may be dearer to pur-
chase, but he costs no more to keep,

81 will try. I will try to smile" he
said, and that night when he dropped
his head in sleep he slept more sweetly
than he had ever slept before.
For a week he was true to his prom
ise. He talked pleasantly to the daisies
and as the birds darted back and forth
he would nod pleasantly to them. And
all the time he tried to smile. Always
was the daisy cheering him along and
he was happy. for he already noticed
a great change in the sunhower. But
there was greater surprise in store
for everybody, for one morning just
after the daisy and the sunhower had
exchanged cordial Good morning"
something very wonderful happened
and the daisy cried with happiness. A
beautiful golden ring was forming about
the sunfower's black face.
"Oh, you are smiling-you are smil-
ing" shouted the daisy, all excited.
How happy the sunAower was.
And each day the ring of gold broad
ened into wonderful soft yellow petals.
Yes, the sunhower was beautiful to look
at.
That is how the sunfower smiled and
do you know there are lots If little
people living today who do L.: smile
as much as they should. Wasn't it we'll
worth while to the supfower.

PUZZLERS WANT TO
KNOW MANY POINTS
The Making of Words from
Single Sentence.

| The object of this weeks contest is to
see who can make the greatest num-
Der of short words of the sentence. The
Herald's Page for Every Woman
Example-Man, go. age, name, &c.
The conditions of the contest as given
Sunday are as follows:
In making the words no letters are to
be used except those appearing in the
sentence. The Heralds Page for Every
Woman
No single word shall consist Of more
than four letters.
The words, "Womans Page, for, the
Herald's Every" shall not be counted
when placed in the last.
No abbreviations shall be counted.
All words must be words that can be
found in any standard dictionary.
The possessive case, as mans" shall
not be used
l thought this sufficiently clear and that
it would be understood that plurals of
a word used would not be acceptable,
since it would be but the repetition of
the same word in substance and fact.
Several contestants, however. were not
clear on this point, and so called me up
about 1t.
Neither will proper names be counted
where they appear on any list submitted.
Neither should letter be used twice in
the sentence THE Heralds Page for
Every Woman
For example, the letter IS" appears
but once in the sentence and should not,
therefore be used in the making OF any
word that requires more than one IS"
as miss
The contest closes at noon on Friday.
No list received after that hour will be
eligible for a prize.
Three cash prizes of So, 81. and 81 will
be awarded the three longest lists Of
words made from the sentence, THE
Herald's Page for Every Woman" and
the prize winners will be announced on
Sunday. ]. O. VI.

Well, do you know that very many
years ago the sunfower was the most
homely flower that grew in all the
land? 1t did not have the golden halo
that it has today; only a very black

Now away back in those times there
lived a family of very pretty daisies.
They were such suushiny little fam

cause they were so cheery-like. Only
the sunfower grumbled and his grum-
bling made the daisies very sad indeed
at times.

Madam, your clothes are ultra
smart, but your face is out of style
Your mouth should curve up; your
laughter should not come out so grudg-

Then you might give a little example
of just how a laugh should ripple, and
run off with a merry kicking up of the
heels, suggesting that it was not the
sort of twisted, stilted performance she
called laugh at all
And, madam" you might add, your
brains are out of fashion. The sort OF

on the stove to boil two cups of water,
one cup of vinegar, one tablespoonful of

When boiling well, stir in the egg. flour,

three cups of small white beans over
night in cold water. In the morning
drain, cover with fresh water, and let
them boil until tender, but not mushy
