Two-year-old hens had better be sent

Grit and oyster shell should be in

Life Bright for "Kiddies"
Whose Parents Follow the
Advice of Luther Burbank

Luther Burbank, the famous Won
der worker among flowers fruits and
vegetables, has not forgotten to study
the rearing of children as well. Ac-
cording to his advice the child's edu-
cation should be largely of his own
working out in a happy world of
mud-pies. grasshoppers tadpoles, and
frogs. There should be trees to climb,
brooks to wade In, various animals to
pet, and all kinds of little creatures
to study. ANY child who has been de-
prived of these has been deprived of
the best part of his education" says
Mr.. Burbank.
Many mothers agree with this idea,
and would discourage any actual book
work for very young children beyond
perhaps reading and writing. Little
girls should be sent off to skip and
dance and cook instead of to do sums
and dictation. The oculists tell us
that no child should read type in which
the capitals are under quarter of an
inch high and that he should use his
eyes if possible on large things and
out in the open. Eye-strain and eff
fort of attention are source of the
nerve disorders too common in chill
dren.

PROUD OF HIS BIRTHRIGHT
Turkish Parents Would Have No Mis-

Their Offspring.

A thick-set man of oriental aspect
walked into the babies clinic of a
New York hospital accompanied by his
wife, who carried a mite of humanity
whose large dark eyes looked this way
and that with curious interest.
For a while father, mother and child
waited silently while a brisk young
physician was busy with other pa
tents, and then their turn came. The
doctor stepped up to them with a mer-
fy CLINT in his eyes and proceeded to
ask questions of the parents-who
they were, where they lived, where
they were born, and SO on, quickly
jotting down the answers.
He found that the father was born
in Turkey and the mother also. Then
he held out his hands and said, good
naturedly:
Now, then, let's see the young
Turk"
Instantly the young mother drew
back step and the fathers face grew
red. He swallowed once or twice be-
fore pointing to his child.
