With bit or rein jerk me not;
And when angry strike me not.

Birds.

The little birds that fit along
So sweet and free of care,
We love to hear their pretty song,
That fills the morning air.
We love the little feathered folk
That chirp about and fit.
We often think we'd like to stroke
Their necks a little bit.
Their little neckS we'd like to reach
Some early morn we will,
When forty of them chirp and screen
JJpon our window sill!

A man who was travelling in the
mountains stopped at a cabin and
asked for a drink Of water. An old
woman brought it out to him, and
after drinking he had quite a talk
with her, telling her great stories
about some of the wonders he had
seen in the outside world. Finally.
when he stopped to take breath, the
old woman took her pipe out of her
mouth and said:

Baseball Fans.

basepaII rams
In private life a baseball fan is
often kind husband and father. To
see him in his little home circle one
could scarcely believe that he is a
baseball fan.
In sending his little boy to the store
for a loaf of bread one would expect
to see him rise out Of his chair, grip
his cigar in his teeth, grow purple in
the face and scream, Shake a leg,
you loafer! Little of the old life!"
Or when HIS wife tries to hold out
some of his wages you would think
he'd shout, "Robber!" and heavet a
catsup bottle at her.
Oddly enough this sort of thing is
seldom the case. After a hard after
moons raving and jumping up and
down. a baseball fan has to have per-
feet quiet at home. He takes a hot
bath and goes to bed with his head in
rag. If he rests well through the
night he may be ready for more root
ing the next afternoon.
Baseball fans do not always bring
their worries home. But there are
days when the team Will lose
double header And this often means
that the wife is given the custody of
the children. ...

For the most profitable milk pro-

ration can be provided. BY balanced
ration is meant the combination of
such proportion Of nutrients and in
such quantities as the cow requires to
maintain her bodily functions and as
she can utilize in the production of
milk. These nutrients are classified
as protein, carbohydrates, and fats.
Protein is one Of the principal con-

drates perform much the same func-

are usually classed together. If the

Doctor Martin told Of the organi-

that one Of the objects of these
classes was to give lessons to teach

speaking in the classroom. That q

her duties. He said:
''Too often teachers are go inter-

low children to answer mumblingly,
thereby creating speech defects which
only become paramount as the child
grows older. Children of the lower
grades are often excused of imper-
feet speech because the teachers call
it baby talk and think the child
will outgrow it. Often they allow
children to lisp because their teeth
are out, and as the teeth grow in the
child has formed an acute habit of
lisping. We have $4,000 cases Of
speech defects in our elementary
schools at the present time"
Under the direction Of Doctor
Martin and his 26 assistants, "vocal

schools daily. The object of these
drills will be to get better voice sup
