Modern scientists have tried to i'm
press upon the minds of the general
public the necessity of keeping the
home as free from germs as possible
: Every disease has its beginning traced
to these destroyers of life. Therefore,
we should take every precaution in
turn to destroy them.
The mother in the home would be
wise to form a crusade against all
warning germs.
Each member of the family ought TO
assist her in every way possible. In
this manner the spread of contagious
diseases may be greatly checked
1t is an impossibility to have the
home strictly sanitary. This would
mean sacrificing it's artistic beauty.
Carpets, draperies and papered walls,
long considered a menace to health,
would have to be dispensed with.
Very few families have the courage
to run their homes upon a sanitary
basis; therefore the lovely draperies
and upholstered furniture remain.
With the word home is associated
all that produces comfort. beauty and
enjoyment.
A strictly sanitary house is not
beautiful or conducive to cheerfulneSS.
1t reminds one of hospital, and the
desire to live there is never longed for
by normal persons.
We can, to a certain extent, Keep the
home germproof. Here are few sug-
gestions which may prove helpful:
Window draperies sift all the germ
laden dust from the streets and very
quickly becomes a delightful resting
place for an unbelievable number of
bacilli.
If the draperies are of washable ma
terial they should be frequently dipped

LET THE CHILDREN PLAY

much of size. there is really not much
danger to be anticipated.
These so-called rough games provide
brisk exercise, keen interest, and com
petition, all of which appeal to the
healthy schoolboy, and are undeniably
good for him. The chances of being
hurt at football are less than the aver
age person supposes.
The mother has unhappy visions of
black eyes, bruised heads, broken col
larbones and strained ankles, but as a
matter of fact, ii is very, very rarely
that a boy suffers any injury more Sc
we're than a kicked shin.
These rough games are an excellent
preparation for life. They teach a boy
to give and take, to accept misfortune
philosophically, to utilize opportunities
and to exercise judgment There is a
good deal of rough-and- tumble about
life. and the discipline Of such games
must not be overlooked.
So that mothers should not be over
anxious when their boys come to the
age of going in for rough games at
school. No boy can be kept in cotton
wool or tied to his mothers apron
strings, and 1t would be the worst thing
in the world for him If he could. So,
unless his health is definitely defective,
let your boy play the usual games,
however trough" they may seem to
you.
The boy who is delicate should not,
of course. be allowed to take up the
rougher games at school or any exer-
cises which entail strain, rush and
over-exertion
The rather fragile boy may, or may
not, be benefited by rough games. If
he is physically sound the games may
do him good, provided they are taken
in moderation.

machines of small size, such as the old
fashioned housekeeper uses in the
kitchen when. doing up fruit, and an
oblong basket with fiat surface. Any

fastening this basket on the top of
the scales, and when you have painted
the entire contriyance white, made a
pink or blue nest of padded China silk
for the inner side of the basket and
trimmed its outer side with enormous
bows of satin ribbon, you will have a
charming looking extra cradle into
which to temporarily deposit baby
while its ordinary cradle Is being aired.

PUT GUARD ON
OYSTER BEDS
Atlantic County Commission
Compelled to Act.
fFrom the NEWS CorrespondentJ

Trenton, August 30.-Under an
opinion just received from Assist
ant Attorney General Nelson B. Gas
kill, the Atlantic County Oyster
Commission has been notified by
Charles r. Bacon, chief of the State
Bureau Of Shell Fisheries, hat it
must forthwith comply with the law
for the appointment of guards for
police duty upon the Atlantic county
oyster beds. The order covers the
policing of the grounds leased by
the state TO individuals for propo-
eating purposes.
Considerable trouble has been
caused during the past few years be-
cause of the fact that the power Of
the oyster commissioners to appoint
these guards have eve been Off
cia1ly determined. There has been a
< idea that the commissioners
had no authority to appoint a guard
for leased grounds. Chit Bacon
endeavored to have the guards APP
pointed, but his word was not re-
garded as sufficient. He ~thereupon
appealed to the Attorney Generals
Department for an opinion, and the
question is now definitely settled.
Mr.. Gaskill's opinion is to the effect
that the Atlantic County Oyster
Commission must appoint the guards
and provide sufficient police protec-
ton under the law of 1905 Great
ing the commission.
