When the editor makes mistakes
there is lawsuits and swearing and

Hot water, if used with common

applied as hot as can be borne by

and laid over the seat Of the pain and

will aid the relief in severe cases.

of the bottle, then use the water to
wash the scalp two or three times

Good Thoughts Help Bring Good Looks Woman Speaker

let his work be something that he can
enjoy. and let him have part ofothe
summer or a large part of each day
entirely free for outdoor play.
O Many Of the ailments of school
children, especially frequent colds, are
due to lack OF exercise and fresh air,
day and night. Delicate children will
not exercise by themselves 1t is I'M
portant that you encourage the play
spirit in your children, and when there
is no suitable playmate the parent
should take part. Games should be
selected that will bring into action all
the muscles of the body, and not one
set at the expense of another. The
bones Of the chest in growing child
rem are pliable and easily yield to
exercise. Teach your children to take
long breaths, so that every part Of the
lungs may be filled with fresh, pure
air. Always correct your children for
faulty position in standing and sitting.
