CHILD DEFORMITIES.

1t is an old saying that a man is
only as good as his feet. Babies
should go barefooted until they begin
I to walk, and should walk barefooted
as much as possible, of course. under
suitable conditions. Sandals are al
ways better than shoes, and shoes
should always be laced, never but
| toned, says the Mothers Magazine.
The toe-out walk is bad because IL puts
the weight on the heel, and tends to
produce bad pastures and flatfoot, so
the baby should be taught to walk
straight-footed.
Deformities of the foot include all
possible positions in which foot can
be placed. Some exist from birth; 9TH
ers are due to infantile paralysis,
palsy. high heels, improper shoes,
overweight, general weakness. and the
inherited diseases that cause other &C
quired deformities already described.
The most frequent error concerning
them is in fiatfoot, which women COM
monty attribute to rheumatism. Some
foot deformities require surgery. Many
yield to manipulation, or special ap-
paratus.
give her child the benefit of a physi-
clans advice and treatment, which in
almost all cases of deformity, will
make life happier for the child and in
some measure remove the handicap,
urder which it must otherwise strug-
gle as a cripple for life.

| (From Department of Agriculture Lawn
Series.)
Roses, when used for decorative
purposes on the home grounds. serve
to set off fine lawn, and improve the
appearance of a place not only during
their blooming time, but throughout
the year. Most of the varieties that
are used as shrubs have foliage of
lighter appearance than the majority
OF other bushes used for similar adorn-
ment, and they are, therefore, placed
preferably in front of the other plants.
This will result in a pleasing contrast
between the shades of green. They
will contrast attractively with
ereensward if placed close by the edge
OF the lawn. Roses used in this man
ner should be planted in comparative
~ large masses.
Roses which are grown mainly for
bush or mass effect should be spar
ingly pruned. according to the United
States department of agriculture's
landscape gardener. They should be
permitted to run wild instead of being
pruned into any form, and only dead
wood or very old wood should be re-
moved when they are pruned. OF the
various species OF roses used to beau
tify lawns, the most prominent are
rosa rugosa C'rugosa" referring to the
rough foliage of the rose) and the
common wild roses of the rDadsides
and thickets in the different sections
of the United States.
Most of the roses used for mass eff
fects have only single or almost sin
gle blooms. The bloom, however. is
comparatively insignificant feature
of the decorative, value of these roses.
An even more attractive feature is
the hip of the rose. The hip is
the bright-red tip OF the stem which |
enlarges to hold the seeds of the |
plant and remains a brilliant color dur |
ing the winter. thus adding much to |
the attractiveness of the bush at a |
time when most shrubbery is leafless |
and bare.
From cultural standpoint roses are |
divided into three main classes: those |
grown for bush or mass effect; those |,
grown for cut flowers; and those that |
climb trellises and porches. Those J
that are grown mainly for the indi-
vidual blooms which are to be taken
from them must be treated in a very
different manner from the roses used

a Prodigy.


so you think your boy is a prodigy /!
But every man thinks his own son is
the most wonderful being that ever
breathed."
Il tell you this youngster is remark
able, no matter how you may sheer.
I've seen him do thing that l don't
suppose any other boy of his age could
possibly do
What's his speciality? Mathemat-
ics?"
Mathematics? I should say not.
He hasn't any more of a head for
figures than I have, and learning the
multiplication table was the hardest
work I ever did in my life
In what branch of science does he
seem to be particularly interested"
He isn't interested in science at
all; but the other day friend of mine
who has big automobile left the ma
chine standing in front of my house
for more than half an hour, and, al
though the boy was playing around
outside all the time he did not once
climb into the automobile or even toot
the horn"

Veterans of Civil War Passing
at Rate of One Every 5 Minutes

with glowing health. He enlisted very
young.
This year the boys will be march-
ing again out to the cemeteries to dec
crate the fiag-marked graves. There
are now more graves with hags than
there are decorators. But while the
boys are marching. and the crowds are
looking on, and later there is the an
nual address-while this is going on
more than a dozen of their comrades
will have passed beyond.
"One hundred a day-a full brigade
In a month-that is the death rate.
Give me back those who died since
yesterday noon, and | will form par
ade longer than will march in most
towns this year. Give me the brigade
that died since one month ago, and
| will form a parade longer than will
march in any city this Decoration
day"
Ten months ago there were 462,O'9
Civil war pensioners on the rolls. ON
April 80 there were but 1858. Today
there are about $4,000. Saltzgaber
estimates that there are fewer than
/ 900 veterans not on the pension rolls.
