WHEN WE co SHOPPING

know what they are handling.
The easiest thing to think of a.
Christmas time is skates, but they
aren't always, necessarily, the best
choice. Does a child have a chance
to skate? If so, there are three
types-the racing, hockey and rocker
skates. Don't get racing skates for
a young boy, or hockey where there
isn't room for games on the ice The
safest choice, when you don't know,
and especially in the city, is the
common ''rocker" skates. They cost
more, but most people are now buy
ing these attached to shoes.
If you like tennis, there are rae
quets and balls. nets and shoes, which
give you accommodating range in
cost. A case for his racquet is q
particularly happy thought for one
who needs it.
If father goes in for golf he would
appreciate some of those accessories
which he doesn't now have. But bet
ter leave the selection of the sticks"
to himself.
Foot balls, base balls, basket balls,
even rubber balls, are almost sure TO
please both girl and boy. But for
children over 10 or u be sure that
they are standard in size and pro
fessional" in make and material if
you expect to maintain and sort Of

Exercise and Enlarged Veins.

Exercise may be of some value in
the prevention and cure of a varicose
condition of the veins in any situa-
tion. Although proper exercise has
such value. individuals afflicted with
any such varicosity should remember
that rest is often the more important
need for the time being. There are
several acute contingencies or com
plications" of this state of enlarge
ment of the veins either in the legs
or in the pelvis which imperat lively
demand absolute rest On the otlrer r
hand. in the majority of cases in the
intervals of attacks a proper regi-
men of general exercise is the better
policy.
Persons subject to varicose veins in
the legs are usually afflicted with a
complication of Billings complaint.
They know that an important cause is
being on the feet so much" Here l
pause and briefly run over all l have
said in the preceding talks about piles,
especially the allusionS to the valve
less condition of the veins affected,
the sedentary habit of the race, the
evolutionary congestion incident to
mans upright posture, and all that
sort of thing, and | wonder whether
] may have contributed thereby to
the misapprehension about being too
much on the feet" But if you re-
member, l held up tame rabbit,
which succumbed in IL hours, and
then wild one, which endured the
Vertical posture for three days. The
wild rabbit is ordinarily as much on
his feet as the tame one.
Now, what is wrong here? Why, l
have already given the diagnosis
Billings complaint. You see, so few
of us study physiology.
Here is a switch wide open and
we've got to take it. Why shouldn't

making impossible demands of his
weary mother.
Living as so many children do, in
cities and towns, it grows harder
daily to find proper work for them.
There are fewer porches to sweep,
fewer cellars to tidy. no kindlings to
split, no cows to milk, no churning,
no carpentering, no real chores. Yet
the child must have work IL he is to
become intelligent and remain healthy.
Modern household equipment has
lessened more and more the demands
made on the girls. They are freed
from much that used to keep them
very busy. That is fine for the girls,
for much OF the housework was
dreary drudgery that deadened the
intelligence and stunted the body.
But what are the girls to do with
this leisure time? Girls, especially,
should value time and fill it worthily.
But how?
Girls have much greater oppor-
tunity for work than the boys be-
cause people must still eat and sleep
at nome. They can learn to sew and
cook and make the beds and clean
the house. Mastering the modern
house equipment ought to be an in
tellectual as well as physical edu-
cation for the girl and every girl
ought to have it. But she need not
stop there. She can and should 90

How about taking on a contract to

livering groceries? Sweeping out a
store and keeping the windows shin
ing and the display well busted? =?
How about bathing and dressing a
baby? Coaching a backward child?
Selling goods?
There are people who must have
letters written and there are others
who must have the papers read for
them. There are old people who need
to be escorted downtown and back
again. Busy mothers need shopping
done for them and errands of all
sorts executed. The world is full Of
work and the workers, as ever, are
few. Set the children to work
There is a great distance between

What TodayMeans to You
Sagittarius.
BY MARY BLAKE.

Today's planetary aspects are ad
| verse and very inauspicious for any
| new undertaking or enterprise.
They counsel an attitude of poise
| and careful deliberation; and all
words or actions, springing from inn
pulse, must be avoided. The sign
| ing of any documents involving obli-
e, tions, or the giving of any pledges
verbal or otherwise-should be
postponed to some more propitious
opportunity. The vibrations are such
as to promote dissatisfaction and
| anger. The former must be
| strangled, and the latter conquered,
If quarrels and differences are to be
avoided. Great self-control must be
exercised today, and no sudden
changes should be made, or any jour
neys attempted.
A child born today will expert
ence little, If any, sickness during
its infancy. Later on, however, it
will be liable to have one or more
serious ailments which will require
care and watchful vigilance. Honesty
and frankness will shine out in it's
disposition. 1t will be energetic and
determined, but it's energy will often
be misapplied. 1t will be bright,
witty and entertaining and prove
to be a general favorite. 1t will
always be deeply loved by its fam
lily, and will be the recipient of great
affection and homage.
If today is your birthday. you do
not always look upon the bright side
of things You possess an intuitive
insight that often saves you and your
friends from disaster. You are
versatile, judicious. desirous of in
formation, quick of action. and some
what sensitive. You work to make
your home more beautiful, and you
are loving and considerate in it.
Your inherent pessimism destroys
great deal of the happiness that
life-if you were a trifie more opti-
mistic-would have in store for you.
While 1t is neither advisable nor
necessary to look at everything
through rose-colored glasses, neither
is it a good thing to view everything
through smoked glasses. AS a rule.
there is a silver lining to every
cloud, but you must courageously
wait for the clouds to roll by if you
want to see the glorious sunlight,
and it is there in all it's resplendent
beauty il you will only wait long
enough.

bread. When ! advocate work for
children l do not mean labor. Chill
dren should go to school and plav

practically, than a reasonable out

which students and teachers of these

to their school work are incredibly
absurd, yet quite in keeping with the
standard of intelligence which in
spires the mockery of anatomy and
physiology in the present curriculum.

Convenient Uses for Elastic Band
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

| the button securely to one end of
| the elastic.
Wind the elastic about the strands
| Of hair ready for the ribbon. slip
| the loop over the button and the hair
| is bound securely. Fun the hair rib
| bon under the hair thus held in place,
and tie the ribbon just above the
| elastic band. Then make the bow,
which will not slip. 1t holds the hair
| firmly. and with the button prevents
the ribbon from slipping and fall
ing off.
Every mother knows that the hair
ribbons, unless held firmly by some
contrivance, are always coming OF.
While various means are devised to
avoid this bother, none Is better and
none is simpler than this.
The bands costs a trifie for a good
sized bunch or box. The larger
boxes, while costing a bit more at
first, hold so many more elastics that
the cost is less in the long run.
Not only are mothers relieved by
the use just described, but children
also, 1t frequently makes them fret
full to feel their hair ribbons slip
ping. And it annoys them to keep
pushing 1t back in position. This is
not good for the hair, as 1t is apt
to break the strands.
Elastics on Hangers.
Another excellent use for rubber
bands is to prevent garments slip
ping off coat hangers. 1t certainly
is nuisance to have frocks slip
from their hangers that are jostled
in taking a garment from a closet.
Various means have been thought Of
to stop this frequent happening. None
of these ways Is so simple and few
q
about each end of a coat hanger
Have the band a few inches from
the end OF each arm Of the hanger.
There is a sort Of dry adhesive quail
ity to rubber that makes articles
cling to 1t a trif1e.
As Sleeve Banda.
BY the way, don't forget that elias
tic bands can be used successfully
in hold up sleeves that are long and
flowing and which will get into
things in most trying way when a
woman. is doing household tasks.
These sleeves are fashionable just
now, and SO the hint may come in
handy.
Be careful to wind the flowing
parts OF the sleeves smoothly about
the arms and pull them up a trifie
before swapping the elastic about
tnem. 1nls Will prevent the 1aDrlc
from mussing. II sleeves are long
and rather snug, raise them a bit
and snap elastics about them when
washing dishes, dusting or doing any
work where the pristine freshness
OF the cuff or edge of the sleeve
would be soiled or made wet and thus
lose attractiveness.
While elastic bands are just the
things to use for holding papers to-
gether temporarily. they should not
be used to bind papers or parcels that
are to be put away for any long
period OF time. The rubber. subject
to constant strain, will not retain its
elasticity. 1t will harden and break
in time.
1t is better 10 tie the packages
with string, which has little strain
put upon it, and which retains its
original quality. The purpose OF
elastic bands is not permanency, but
convenience, and this purpose they
fill to such a fine degree that they
have become indispensable in ways
that are established and recognized
They are constantly being put to
unique and novel uses also. Some of
these have been given today.
