creasng the white blood corpuscles, increas-
ing the circulation, and maintaining a high

The Afternoon Nap

The same general conditions should be pro-
vidcd. The room or sleeping porch should
be darkened, ample ventilation and light
covering provided The outer clothing, shoes,
stockings, should be removed and the night
gown put on over the underwear; or the
child may be completely undressed as at
night. If the child is disnclned to sleep at
nap time, use the spinal sponging with warm
water. the spinal massage, and undress COM
pctely as az night. The child should be left
alone, with doll, toy animal or other quiet
toy. Even if the child does not sleep, he will
receive the much needed relaxation, and the
resting Of spine and heart, the work OF which
is greatly reduced in the rccumbcnt position.

Have You Seen the Aowdad?
BY GAYNE +. X. NORTON.

~ HE next time you visit zoo do not fail TO
stop for n moment before the cage OF
the aoudad; that is, if the particular zoo
you visit is fortunate enough to have OF these
animals. The aoudad's name is not very pretty,
but the animal itself is beautiful.
The aoudad is goat, and his real home Is in
the northern part Of the African wilds, where h.
lives in the rocky gorges and in the mountains.
He is, perhaps, a bit larger than goats; IS Of
beautiful brown color, shading into tan and
white. His eyes, with their elliptical shaped
pupils, large and brown. His horns are heavy
and perfectly curved, and give him an srstocratic
air which our goats do not possess.
But the aoudad's most attractive feature is his
very long silky hair which starts under his chin
and covers his throat and chest and the fronts OF
his foreegs. II is of deeper brown than his
coat, and at the ends it is almost black.
The aoudad steps high, like a thoroughbred.
The long hair swings out before him, and falls
back into place again with each step. He is
beautiful and apparently knows il, Cor he struts
about as proudly as peacock
