Give The Boy a Place In Your Plans.

Are you going TO have your farm work

to be one Of the share holders In every
thing that your place produces this year.
Not equal with yourself, OF course, but In
fair proportion, considering his age,
strength and skill.
You have never thought OF doing that,
perhaps. You have always taken his
labor as your due, and thought him paid
sufficiently by good board and plenty OF
good clothes, together with the care that
his early childhood demanded. When
you are making your plans for tl'is sea-

as an embryo man, not a lsckey. Put
him on his own responsibility. Let him
know that you consider a certain amount
OF labor worthy OF fair return. Give him.

MunpS.

Mumps, or rarottis, as the doctors
call it, because the parotid gland is the
one to be affected. is an extremely con-
tagious, and 2 disagreeable but not at all
dangerous disease. When il attacks
children the symptoms are likely TO be
mild, the child playing round and making
few complaints of discomfort. When an
adult is the victim, the symptoms are
likely to be much more severe.
II is most frequently seen between The
ages OF four and fourteen years. Its great
contagiousness is seen in the fact that
the infection may be conveyed by third
person, the patient having had no per-
sonal contact with sufferer from mumps.
Cold, damp weather is favorable to an
epidemic, especially among people who
live in badly ventilated houses and sleep
in stuffy bedrooms. Those unfortunate
people, mouth-breathers, who seem to
pay the price for their physical wrong
dong in so many ways; are said to be
more likely to suffer from mumps than
are those who breathe properly with
closed lips, and this is very probably the
fact
Although il is known that mumpS must
be caused by germ, the particular germ
has net yet been discovered.
The word parotid is derived from the
Greek. and means "near the ear" This
gland begins near the front OF the ear ano
runs down the lower jaw. When a per-
son is "in for mumps" the first symptom
may be swelling in this gland, although
in many cases there are preliminary symp-
toms, such as slight rise in temperature.
with headache and feeling OF general
discomfort and illness. In this stage the
diagnosis will be in doubt, but the doubt
will soon be dissolved by pain and stiif-
ness localizing in the angle of the jaw
below the ear, accompanied by swell
ing OF the entire gland.
In many cases the left side is the tirsI
to be affected, the right side following Ii
from twenty-four TO thirty-Six hours
By this time the sufferer is not only in
state of considerable discomfort, but Is
also rather comically disfigured by the
tremendous swelling Of the lower part OF
the face. He also has a good deal OF pain
radiating toward the ear, cannot open his
mouth more than half an inch, cannot
\ chew. and can hardly swallow or speak.
Presently the gland first affected begins
TO 20 back TO its normal size, and in g
week or ten days the attack is over.
There is not much to DO in the way
treatment. As long as there IS fever th'
patient should be kept in bed, and in The
house until the swelling has quite disap-
peared. The diet should be fuid, be-
cause il causes so much pain to open the
laws; and if there is much pain other
wise, hot lamentations will often give re-
lief.

Silent Years.

"GirlS," John Robertson looked at his
sisters almost sternIy, "do you know
that you have got used to mothers deaf
ness?"
Used toit7 How do youmean, John p
81 mean that you have grown so ac-
cu5tomed to her being left out of nearly
all conversations that you forget what
deprivation it is TO her. Why, when
was talking with her about all these six
years that I've been abroad, found out
that she didn't know a lot of family goS-
sip that Away across the ocean-had
got from letters. Mother, who used to
be at the very head and beginning oi
everything in the house, has grown into
an outsider almost-an onlooker. at any
rate. That natient, absent smile OF hers
takes most all the Joy out of my home
coming"
"We do try to-tell her things, but she
so often misunderstandS and gets facts
confused that suppose we have grown
little negligent perhaps about relating
the small, unimportant matters. You
know, John, it's awfully wearing having
to scream trfles the top of ones voice. "
Marian smiled rather apologetically, but
her brother still looked severe.
why haven't you tried TO get some
thing that would help her to hear2" he
asked.
"She did rave an ear-trumpet, but il
seemed to make her nervous and uncom-
Portable" answered Jessie.

on know ther are number Of inventions
for aiding the deaf. Well have her test
every one OF them until she gets some
help"
Somehow, although none Of the first
contrivances that John brought to his
mother proved efficacious, brighter look
came into her face. Perhaps il was the
constant CHEEKY society of her big, broad
son that brought back some
OF the old sparkle to her eyes and made
her smile less wan and more happy.
At last a little electrical device was
discovered which, pinned on her blouse
and connected with her ear, made It quite
possible to converse with her in an ordi-
nary speaking voice, and John, elated at
his success, proudly led his mother 10
the piano.
"You haven't made any music for me
since came home," he said. Give us

She sat down at the instrument, and
with rather uncertain fingers played the
first few bars of the old waltz. Then she
stopped, and looking at John with Won
der and surprise, exclaimed:
al heard every note, every note, my
son, and it's been so long, so longl"
She leaned against the piano and burst
into tears-such unrestrained weeping as
her daughters had never seen before.
John sat down on the piano bench be-
side her, and gently raised her head until
it rested on his shoulder. His sisters
looked at each other with misty eyes.

How Old People

At advanced age the organs act
more slowly than in youth. Circu-
lation becomes poor, blood thin and
watery, appetite fful, and diges-

the system open to disease such as
Coughs, Colds, Grippe, Pneumo-
