neither the manufacturers, the dealers
nor the sales people make any profession
of being learned in child study, hygiene
or education. They are there to sell
what customers ask for or will buy. The
responsibility Of selecting wisely rests
not upon the trade but upon ourselves.

THE service star picture frame is
4 growing more and more in demand
Z Yesterday l discovered a very unusual
one. It is small and enameled in red
and white. The frame itself is square
with an oval space for the picture And
above the oval is a service star These
frames can be secured for fifty cents In
celluloid instead of enamel they can he
had for as low as twentv-nine cents
And isn't 1t nice idea to have the por-
trait, or even the Chummy little snap
shot of that soldier, in a service frame
on your dresser?
Dog days are coming and the first
thing to feel them is the ice in the re-
!. frigerator. An ingenious mind has
thought out a new plan for saving the
ice. 1t is in the form of an ice blanket.
This blanket" consists of n sheet of
very heavy paper. which folds over the
ice. And the assurance is that this
chemically treated sheet of paper or
blanket" prevents the ice from melting
SO rapidly. The price is ten cents.
