the birds free. In this way we can
| learn just what course those par
ticular birds take on their long jour-
ney to the Sunny South. In the same
way birds banded in the South during
the winter will be trapped when
they come back here next spring and
a record made.
Next spring I shall be able to
prove whether or not the birds that
nested in the Old Orchard this year
have come back to nest in the same
place. / am sure that this is a habit
of many birds and by these little
numbered bands I will be able to
prove it. The birds do not mind be-
ing trapped at all. If they did they
wouldn't get in a trap more than
once. I have taken Brownie the
Thrasher out of my trap ten times
already. The rascal knows that he
is sure of good feast in that trap
and that no harm will come to him.
l used to like to hunt, but this is a
thousand times more fun. Besides it
is adding to knowledge of our
feathered friends, and we don't begin
to know as much about them as we
ought to. Already some wonderful
things have been learned through
banding, and as yet only few people
are doing 1t. Come out and watch
that rascal Brownie get caught
again."
Farmer Brown went. Sure enough,
almost as soon as Farmer Browns
Boy had set the trap Brownie walked
into 1t and contentedly began to pick
up food.

The Favorite Role.

Have you a dream for your child:
Is there line of work or conduct
that you would have him follow? Set
the stage for 1t and let him play at IT
when he Is little.
What he plays when he is little
goes a long way toward deciding
what he works at when he Is big.
The form of the idea may change,
but the basic spirit of it usually
stays. For when a child plays his in
stinctive forces are hard at work and
the thing he plays at is likely to sink
into his unconscious self, his instinct
self, and stay there to color his deeds
for the years he lives.
If You want him to be bold and ag-
gressive and domineering the very
best way to train him is to buy him a
policeman's suit with a badge and
billy complete and let him play he Is
arresting everybody in the house and
hauling them off to Jail.
Don't mind whenf he whacks you
over the head. He is but preparing
for the day when he whacks the
neighbors of his day and generation
over the head.
If you are aiming at any sort OF
''red- -blooded, herman, hundred-per-
center" dress him in a fringed KHAKI
suit with red neckerchief and belt
with knife and pistols and let him

in healthy young college students the
lower border of the stomach in the
median line averaged finger nail
breadth above the navel, and the posi-

1N inches below. In about half Of
the subjects the border was below the
navel, especially in thin subjects-all
normal, healthy subjects, remember.

quickly.
If there are not many pimples,
touch them first with peroxide, an ex-
cellent antiseptic; prick the yellow
head with needle dipped in the per-
oxide, squeeze out the pimple into a
wee wad of cotton, and touch again
with peroxide. This is the easiest to
do after the face has been steamed
for one or two minutes. Follow this
treatment by a cold rinse. Covering the
skin with zinc ointment or sulphur oint-

healing.

Pimples are ugly little marks that
can leave permanent scars on the face
if not properly handled, that require
drastic internal treatment and a GER
tain amount of external treatment as

The occasional pimple is nothing
but warning that something is
wrong with the digestion. You should
diet for two or three days, take a
laxative and If this is not effective,

In the very Beginning Of an attack
of indigestion, when you know the
stomach is full of undigested food,
the good old fashioned method of put
ting a finger down the throat will not
be despised. Follow this by a drink
of hot water with half teaspoonful
of bicarbonate of soda. and you will
avoid days of i'll feeling and a crop
of pimples.
Pimples are full of germs, and IL
they are always coming, they begin
to re-infect the skin again, and they
go on and on and it seems hopeless
to stop them. However, diet and lax
atives, and the real basis of well,

IF you wish the knives to

Patent leather shoes need
special care to keep them nice.
When they are fresh and new
they should be wiped over
after every wearing and put
away in some place secure
from dust where the air is
neither too hot nor too cold.
Extremes of temperature in

shoes begin to show signs of
wear they should be wiped
over with a sponge and warm
water and after being carefully
dried should be brushed over

Remember never tc put patent
leather near the fire, for the
heat is very likely to crack it.
