BAD NELL KEEPS INSPECTORS
FROM COUNTING EGGS

London, Ont.-Delegates from the
trades and labor council paid sur
prise visit to a farm in Westminster
township, to investigate story that
there were 10000 dozen eggs which
had gone bad being taken to this farm
for use as fertilizer.
On arrival they found the story to
be true, at least in part, although the
aroma forbade them counting the
eggs No less than 100 barrels of bad
eggs had been dumped on the farm
since harvest was over, and it is re-
ported that there are many more
ready to be taken. 1t was stated at
the farm that the eggs came from
local cold storage and labor men de-
clare they have been held in order to
keep up prices.

afraid to take a strange child into
her home and put it on the same
footing with her own.
So she did this. Her own boy and
the stranger child became brothers,
But their mother felt that she must
enlarge her motherhood still further.
And life was always revealing to her
some half-cared-for boy or girl who
seemed to need a home and love and
all-round happy development. When
ever she found such child she
adopted it, until she had ten.
An Understanding Mother
These were the fortunate children.
Not alone because they were taken
into a home, but because their moth
er loved and understood the job of
motherhood and did it well. And
she wasn't afraid of being a mother
on as large a&cale as the conditions
of her life allowed.
It's beautiful, thing to see, this
eager, generous, intelligent kind Of
motherhood, that is bent on being
of service to the next generation, and
refuses to be limited by any withhold
ing on the part of the stork. And q
mother who declines to make any dis
tlnction between her own child and
the motherless one whom she has
just happened to pick up is n mother
worth having.
Besides, mothers who have adopt
ed children know a secret that all
women don't know. 1t is that love

than the first reward.
One mother purchased little
wrist watch for her daughter, taught
her how to tell the time by it and
told her she could wear it so long
as she started for school on time
and went to bed on time. When
ever she failed, she had to be de-
prived of the little watch for day
or two. The plan worked.
Make it a point to play with the
boys enthusiastically for few min
utes after school nearly every even
ing. This will keep them on the
most friendly terms with you and
they will be much more easily man
aged.
Boys like to do things to please
adults whom they really love and
will do almost anything to win
their approval. Show them that you
are a friend indeed and that you no.

And one baby, by the way, isn't

some mother who has taken the
plunge Of adopting single orphan

Children do cost something, it is
true. There are sickness and shoes
and schooling to be taken into ac-
count always.
But if one cares enough for the
experience of doing the best one can
to develop little, human beings.-if
the love of them and the care of
them is sweet enough, one is willing
to practise whatever economies may
be necessary.
Perhaps one can cut down on house,
rent, or clothes, or amusement. 1t
will be worth while. whatever it is.
Scarcely any price is too high to pay
for the privilege of being a parent.
Ask any wise mother or father whom
you may happen to know. whether
this isn't true.

When the school bell rings, is your
child always there, right on the dot,
ready to hold up his hand in re-
sponse to the teachers first ques-,
tion?
or, is he just on his way, half run
ming and half walking?
You desire him always to be on
time and very naturally, too. 1t is
a good sign when a boy takes pride
in being punctual. 1t shows that he
is mentally alert.
Punctuality is an important trait
. of good character and it can easily
be developed in children if right
methods are employed.
Here is a simple case. A mother
writes to me:
How can l make my two boys,
seven and five years, dress them
selves promptly before scho6l-in-
stead of playing with each other and
dilly-dallying? l have to be in the
kitchen myself"
Announce to your boys seven and
five years of age that you are think
ing of taking them on very de-
lightful little hike some evening and
that you may take along a little
lunch to eat on the way. Get them
to become very enthusiastic about it
and then say something like this.
Now there's only one condition
about going on this little excursion
and that is that you both dress your
selves ready for school quickly every
morning, starting tomorrow morn
ing. l am sure you can do this be-
cause 1 know you'll both want to so
and say but won't we have a fine
time?'
Don't suggest that they race, be-
cause this often causes other trou-
bles, but suggest that both of them
are going to dress quickly. Suggest
this just before you bid, them good
night and the first thing in the morn
ing, referring optimistically to the
fine trip you are to take in a few
evenings.
Arrange for this trip to come in
three or four days. After you have
taken the trip, simply approve them
both on how quickly they can dress,
not comparing the speed of one with
the other, but always say, something
like this: Both of you boys certain
ly are getting to be prompt. l be-
lieve you could almost beat me
dressing"
If they should ever grow lax. you
could set up some other privilege
ahead, dependent upon their quick
preparation for school, but the

SANDBAGS SAVE MANY LIVES
Italian Authorities Must Be Given
Credit for RESPONSIVENESS in
Modern Warfare.

No belligercnt has shown more re-
sourcefulness than the Italians in de-
vising novel means of olfense and de-
Tense, says a writer in Wide World
Magazine. The Italian army was the
only one to enter the war with a trench
helmet and a steel chest protector, and
it is now provided with a more efficient
body shield than is possessed by any
other OF the warning nations.
Early in the war ii was discovered
by the Italians that many lives could
be saved in skirmishing at close quar-
tiers if the soldiers carried or pushed
bags of sand in front of them, and the
present body shield has been an OUT
growth of that idea.
They are made in the one-man and
two-man type. The former are worn
by infantry advancing in the open, at
tached to the shoulders by a pair OF
light steel arms. and IRE long enough
