dered into them Gig. A.. If the end
Of the cans have been soldered on,
which is the usual method, it is only
necessary to place the cans one at a
time in a gas-burner flame for a min
ute. This will melt the solder, and if
the end does not drop off Of itself, it
will knock off easily by giving it's edge
a blow with a hammer. The little
disk in the center of the end will also
drop out, with the melting of the SOL
der which holds it in place, and your
completed ring disk will look like
Fig. 5.
In throwing the disk, hold it fiat
between the thumb and first finger,
as shown in Fig. 5; then keeping your
eyes on the center pin of the target,
which of course is the one to try for
on account of its giving the largest
score, Judge the distance as we'll as
you can and throw the disk forward
giving it slight twirl to keep it fiat
in the air and make it land fiat upon

from the ends of the tin cans, and sub
stituting open cans for the pins Zig.

Figure 1 shows the homemade tent

tent a touch of elegance. 1t does not
injure an umbrella in the least to use
it for the tent; still, if you can find
an old one that is not badly broken,
it may be well to take it, because
there might be such thing as some
one piercing it with pointed stick;
then, too, by using an umbrella that
has been discarded, it will not be
necessary to take down the tent on

THE GAME OF RING TOSS.
BY A. NEELY HALL

You will all declare this game to
be jolly fun, once you have played it,
and as 1t requires only simple ap-
paratus that is easily and quickly
made.
There is target consisting of nine
pins, arranged upon the ground in
rows of three pins each, and there
are three rings. Each player in turn
tries to toss the rings over the target
pins. The pins bear numbers, as you
will see by Fig. 1, and these numbers
are used in determining the scores
The pin in the exact center counts rs
points, the four coyner pins count Is
points apiece, and the remaining pins
10 points apiece.
Nails or 4 inches long should be
used for the pins. Four-inch nails are
the better length If you can get them
The ground would not hold these pins
firmly enough, if they were driven d.
rectly into it. so you must drive a
stake into the ground in the proper
position for each pin, and then drive

HAPPY NOW
Family of Twelve Drink Postum.

1T certainly has been a blessing In
our home" writes young lady in re-
gard to Postum.
II am one of a family Of twelve,
who, before using Postum, would make
a healthy person uncomfortable by
their complaining of headache, dizzi.
ness, sour stomach, ETC., from drinking
coffee.
For years mother suffered from
palpitation of the heart, sick head
ache and bad stomach and at times
would be taken violently i'll. About a
year ago she quit coffee and began
Postum.
"My brother was troubled with
headache and dizziness all the time
he drank coffee. All those troubles OF
my mother and brother have disap-
peared since Postum has taken the
place of coffee.
"a sister was iii nearly all. her life
with headache and heart trouble, and
about all she cared for was coffee and
tea. The doctors told her she must
leave them alone, as medicine did her
no permanent good.
"She thought nothing would take
the place of coffee until we induced
her to try Postum. Now her troubles
are all gone and she is a happy little
woman enjoying life as people
should"

The tent may be placed in the back
yard, on the porch, or in the play
room. The first thing to do is to
fasten the end of the umbrella han
die to the chair back, by strapping it
to the cross bars with heavy Irvine
in the manner illustrated in Fig. 2.
Tie the handle securely so it will hold
the umbrella perfectly upright.
The Irvine braces for the walls are
fastened to the tips of the umbrella
ribs, and the best way to attach them
is by using needle and thread and
sewing them to the little eyes in the
tips. The lower ends of the braces
should be tied to stakes driven into
the ground, if the tent is placed in the
yard, or to carpet tacks, thumb tacks,
or wall push-pins driven into the
floor, if the tent Is placed upon the
porch or in a play-room. In order to
make the tent wider at it's bottom,
the braces are slanted away from the
umbrella as in the illustration. TWEEN

telephone no one with Becker's apart

Roberts said that he did not know whether
or not Haywood had obeyed instructions.
and that he himself was not on duty in
the apartment house after 8 p. NJ. The
defence sought to show by this evidence
that Hawley told the truth when he said
he couldn't get an answer from Audi

Rose lied when he said he talked 10
