HoUSEw0RK As A MEANS

muscles to relieve the strain on the
back is as valuable when walking about
the house as In playing golf or tramp

Always keep the weight on the balls

from the floor why not do it in the

keeping the upper part OF the body erect
instead Of bending with the back and

BY all means rest whenever there ara

into the lap, close the eyes and let the
head sink :lowly on the chest. II sit

else, dismiss all worry and make the
mind as nearly a blank as possible.

TEACH CHILDREN TO
CARE FOR THEIR EYES

Nowadays school authorities all over
the country are taking up the matter Of
proper lighting in school rooms, and the
subject is studied by oculists. architects
and educators As a result the new
school buildings are equipped almost
ideally in the point of windows. Desks
are arranged at the correct heights,
shades are adjusted carefully, rules for
the care Of eyes are enforced. It Is at
home that the young eyes are in great
est danger.
Very few mothers know what the care
of eyes means. Very few realize how
treacherous an affection Of the eyes is.
1t often creeps stealthily for number
OF years before 1t makes itself known.
II the grown-ups who look after the
little people at home will heed few
simple rules there will be less cause for

are as old as their parents.

TO MAKE HAIR CURL.

Mothers who covct curly hair for their
babies can cultivate it with little care
even IL il is not naturally so. Fhc baby
hair should. OF course. be washed and
brushed every morning After TINS Il
done, the hair should not be left smooth.
but IL should be rubbed with the tips of
the fingers in little circles from right TO
left all over the scalp. This twists the
hair at the roots. and in time prouuces
the much desired curls.
