The most recent uprising OF the
price Of meat. first acknowledged last
Thursday. is said 20 result primarily
from a scarcity Of cattle which In turn
has occasioned a hold back" on the
part of the farmers out West. There
is always an annual cattle slump but
heretofore il has occurred in June and
early July. However the lateness OF
the calamity has not mitlgated its Bit
terness.
The following may produce a NOR

At wholesale prices, grass fed cat

ion the author. DR.. Roger II. bennett,
a well known New York specialist on
children's diseases. says in part:
THE mothers milk is the only food

so, the young mother should irst Of all
guard her own good health for the sake
Of the baby II not for herself. She
should keep good hours and get plenty

helps the milk in quantity and quality.
though fatigue should be avoided. so
IL the mother has not been accustomed
to exercise before the baby was born
attention should be given to 1t after

Of exercise. perhaps by walking a little
farther each day. always being careful
TO stop just short Of the point where

The children all stand at prescrib-
ed distance from the novel tenpins and
endeavor to overthrow them by rolling
at them a hard ball 1t must be rolled
on the turf. not thrown. Each player
has three shots at a time, after which
another player takes his place. The
number Of men overthrown by each
player are counted. and these repre-
sent his score.
After each player has played the
men are "set up again for the next
player. The one having the highest

It is great fun to mark out little
pens made Of four clothespins with
cords around them and In each pen tc
