grow so naturally into a polite young

Children exercise quite enough, but
not always in the right way. A mother
should look after the direct part at
least of her childs exercise and sea
mat it. is systematic. II you train your
child to go through a course OF daily
exercises it will gradually learn to be
come self reliant, and will not need
your assistance when exercising. But
until it reaches this stage of doing
things" for itself you should never be
too busy to devote half hour day
to the betterment OF your child's ply
steal being. Always remember that
the exercises should be practiced in the
open air, or If this is impossible in a
room with the windows open at top and
bottom.
A girl should be taught muscular
control of her hands. A splendid way
to get strength into her fingers is TO
have her hold her hands, palms down
ward, upon table and raise each
finger four times. At first she will
very high, but by constant practice
they will become very timber. To make
the wrists strong and supple she should
shake hands up and down as fast as
possible, remembering that there is no
arm movement in this exercise These
finger exercises will prove of great ad-
vantage to your child when it comes
time for teaching her to play the piano
When the hot days come let the chill

cooling drinks. Barley water is often
used instead Of water to dilute the milk

When milk diSagrees with the baby,
barley water may be given plain, when
directed by the physician or visiting
nurse. One heaping Tablespoonful Of
barley flour and a pinch Of salt ere

paste and added TO one quart of boiling
water. Stir well and boil for 20 minutes.
Add enough water to make a quart. II
pearl barley is used ia must boil for at
least three hours and be strained before
using.
Much more juice can be extracted
from oranges and lemons if the fruit Is
first covered with cold water and allow
ed to come to boil before the fruit is
cut. Add the juice of three lemons to a
Quart Of rich boiled syrup, made of
plain sugar and water. Pare the yellow
peel from lemons, as it gives q bitter
taste to the sugar If left long in it. Place

Not even Christmas with all its Won
der and excitement means as much to
some children as their own one day
their birthdays. And it is not an ex-
nggeration to say that the child who is
not convinced that his own birthday is
the Dleaaantest day in all the year has
really never been given a proper BIRTH
day. Remember in planning the next
birthday that this one day is the chi!d's
own. So IL the child wants a party; IL
ne likes a picnic more than a party
give him picnic. While you are plan
ming what sort cf birthday will make
the child happiest, do not forget that
the great source OF birthday JOY comes
IN the element Of complete surprise
and the greatest secrecy should be
maintained with regard TO the propara-
ton for birthday doings, so that moth
ing can detract from the real birthday
happiness.
In planning birthday surprises do not
make the mistake Of giving the child
too much at once, but rather spread the
surprises out from the little toy hidden
In the chi1d's shoe in the morning to
a last token tucked under tho pillow at
night There are many clever schemes
of spreading the JOY of surprises out
over the Whole day.
