the poor there usually develops rather
early in life a keen appreciation of
the value of money. Whatever money
there is is quickly spent. and comes
TO represent pretty definitely the ne
cessities and the Injuries of life. A
nickel means loaf of bread and a
penny means stick of candy. Money
is hard 10 get and good TO have. and
without it there is privation and mis-
cry.
On the other hand in the homes of
the well-to-do and in the country.
where comparatively little cash is
handled, the opportunity TO become ac-
quainted with the sources and proper
ties of money are comparatively mar
row. Here people somehow have what
they need, and no special effort or
hardship is associated with getting
these things.
Money plays so important n role in
modern life that we are apt to take it
for granted without thinking especially
of teaching children what they should
understand of the matter. Children
should learn these things definitely
and practically. beginning as soon as
they are old enough 10 appreciate rela-
tive values. A child can begin by bay
ing things for the household wbe n he
is able 10 distinguish the COT ahl
count up the amounts The age FOR
this Will, of course, vary with different
children.
In households that do not manifest
through their activities and converse
ton the methods by which the family
income is obtained children should be
explicitly informed on the subject. II
is not only embarrassing to the child
TO display his ignorance when compar-
ing notes with other children. but it is
n necessary part of his understanding
of the world TO know just how people
obtain the precious tokens by means
of which they secure all their necesxl
ties and luxuries.

Primitive Australian Savage

In endurance and speed the Aus

The latest development in metering

principle of a water or gas meter. This
instrument was devised primarily 70

1t operates on the same principle as
a water meter, the stream of broken
coal pouring down a chute and turn

also be used for grain, according to
the inventor. Its use on coal was en-
tirely successful.

taken off by the general atmosphere.
Therefore, you want blankets soft and
pliable so that they will fall of their
own weight and fit snugly to the body,
so as TO prevent the air from circulat-
ing between the blanket and the body.
The army blanket is woven so close
~ and becomes SO rigid when thrown
over the body that it fails to fall in
close, but stands out and permits an
air space between itself and the body
This interfereS with its heat-retaining

With this discovery and practical APP
plication we not only save much money
in maintaining our hospitals. but we
give our patients more comfort. The

time are lighter in weight.
