 "Wike pud. Wike ev'rysing," he said at last as the highchair was drawn from the table and Mrs. Vernon lifted him down to the floor.
 "Why, he's" began Vernon, but his wife quickly put her finger to her lips, as the child limped across the floor to- ward a pile of toys in the bay window
 "Infantile paralysis" whispered Mrs Vernon, after she had started a block house which LaVerne went on building carefully.
 "Poor little began" muttered Vernon and in few minutes when Mrs. Vernon took the child in her arms to carry him off to bed he said gruffly: He's too heavy for you. I'll take him upstairs. VI
 It was just two weeks later that Mrs Vernon said at dinner time that the matron from the orphanage had tele- phoned that there would be no danger now in returning LaVernc. T suppose we'll have to let him go tomorrow" she said.
 "How do you know I wouldn't? Be sides, was talking to a specialist today and he says there's lot of hope for 6 child that age. If pay all the money to employ him want to have the case where I can watch it."
 "Oh, oh, my dear, my dear!"
 "Now, please, please don't cry. It's only sense to keep the little fellow here till we see what"
 "Me wike stay. Me wike here" re- marked LaVerne who evidently had not been so engrossed in his "tatoes" as his elders fancied.
 If you stay here, young man." an nounced Vernon, your everyday name is going to be Bill. Your handicap must be reduced. If anything more dressy is needed for Sunday, William will do. Is that all right, Bill?'
 Good for you, son. Bill you are from this day henceforth," said Vernon and then looking at his wife he remarked that it was no time for weeping.

mouth. But there are other and even more harmful results.
 Thumb sucking often causes the up- per jaw to protrude it deforms the mouth, making the teeth irregular, it causes the growth of adenoids and stimu- lates the enlargement of the tonsils. Re peated attacks of collie and even more severe digestive disturbances may result from the constant swallowing of air and the excessive amount of saliva that is produced. Altogether it is a pernicious and harmful habit and should be cor rected at the earliest possible moment.
 Nail biting has none of the bad eff fects that l have mentioned, but it is a nervous and disagreeable habit and de- stroys the shape and appearance of the child's fingers, and it needs attention quite as much as thumb sucking.

Many years ago I devised simpl homemade method that has been used in thousands of cases and that has been effective in every instance where it has been consistently used. Moreover, this method costs next to nothing and is available for every mother. This con- sists in the use of what I call "arm cuffs" which are made as follows:
 Take two pieces of cardboard from six to eight inches long and from four to six inches wide. She size will depend upon the age of the baby or child Roll the cardboard into a cylinder and sew the edges together or paste them with adhesive plaster. The roll must be large enough to slip easily over the babys arm without constructing it in way and long enough to reach from mid way between the shoulders and the el-

Many babies begin to suck their thumbs almost as soon as they are born, and if something is not done to stop the habit it may persist throughout child hood. A baby seems to get the same comfort from thum sucking that he does from using pacificer and it is difficult to convince some mothers that this pre- sent comfort does not make up for the very harmful results that are sure to follow if these habits are persisted in.
 To begin with, thumb sucking is a dirty habit. The baby's thumb is not al- ways clean and the germs of infectious diseases may be taken into the mouth in this way. There is danger, too, of a sore mouth due to the infection and irri- tation resulting from uncleanliness and rubbing of the delicate lining of the

 So they spread their magic charms upon the ground in a circle and num- bled lot of magic words.
 Meanwhile, the Raggedys and the monkey were riding away through the woods lickity split as fast as they could go, when suddenly, without any warn ing, the hobby horse went crashing to the ground and the Raggedys and Mr. Fixus went rolling over and over.
 The Raggedys were surprised to see Mir. Fixus had been changed back into his own shape and they were very glad, but when they looked at the poor hobby horse they found that all of his wooden legs were broken. And just at this mo- ment the two mean old Witches came running from the bushes and caught Raggedy Andy.

Now, if we should suddenly change the monkey back into fat Mr. Fixus, Mir. Fixus would weigh so much he would mash the hobby horse right down to the ground and break the hobby horses wooden legs!"

 And Hazel Hagg replied, Yes, I know it, Heezy the Witch. And I be- lieve instead of Raggedy Ann having a candy heart with which she works magic, it is Raggedy Andy who has the magic candy heart, so we must try and capture Raggedy Andy and take his candy heart away from him! Then we can divide it in two and each have a piece to work magic with!"

After the child has been dressed one of these tubes should b. slipped up over each arm an the upper edge of the tube pinned to the sleeve with safety pin. This cuff will keep the arm fairly stiff, but still allows slight amount of motion of the elbow. The child can move his arms sufficiently to pick up his toys and to play and his hands are free, but it is impossible for him to put his fingers in his mouth. The same elbow cuffs are also all that are needed to cure the habit of picking up things and putting them in the mouth.
