ORANGE
COMPETE
BY Alice Langelier-

FAEG1Ss
AIOw is the time to make Q
IN good orange compete with
the imperfect fruit one some
times finds at the end Of the
winter season.
Remove carefully the orange
rind, taking care not to remove
the white with 1t. Chop the rind
into smallest bits and set aside.
Then remove the white skin,
without injuring the oranges.
Pierce each each orange four or
five times with a large needle
and put into a tureen with cold
water. Let stand for fifteen
minutes and then plunge into
a casserole with boiling water
and let boil for ten or twelve
minutes. Remove them and put
into a second casserole of boiling
water and let boil another fifteen
minutes.
Prepare a sugar syrup, using
four-fifths pound Of sugar for
every two pounds of fruit. When
it is smooth and little thick add
the oranges and the chopped
rind. Let cook slowly for one
half hour. Pour into a tureen to
cool. Divide the oranges into
four parts, arrange in a compete
bowl and cover with the syrup
and the ZeSt.

Let it be a festal day.
Make it day when children
may assemble and romp and play
in that fullness Of joy that can
come only from health.
IL health is thus reduced to an
object lesson, without the label
on health being put upon it, the
occasion will have the maximum
of inspiration and health itself
will arrive at its full meaning.
This feature should be in addi-
ton to the usual program for the
grown-ups and should be based
upon the fundamentally correct
principle that the best way to
get health into children is to play
it into them.
The joys OF childhood are the
twigs and faggots out of which to
make that unbreakable bundle of
habits that we call character.
Health character is but a bundle
Of health habits.
See to it that your children's
health habits are formed early
the earlier the better. You can
do this largely by directing their
play without imposing their games
upon them.

on the blue velvet cushions or
the limousine.
Mrs. Martin was waiting for
NAMES return; she was waiting
with a switch; she wasn't sure
whether Mamie would be brought
back in an ambulance or come
back on her own two legs. In
the latter contingency she had
the switch ready for immediate
action. Her face, which was one
mass of frowns, relaxed into a set
smile when the limousine drove
before the orphanage door and
the elegant lady stepped out.
Mrs. Martin was all smiles now.
Then Mamie and the dog followed
the elegant lady. Mrs. Martln
stared and swallowed hard. What
ever way she had expected Mamie
back. she hadn't expected this.
But she was wise enough to wait
fer explanations.

This was neither a long nor a

Bobby.

the little animal gently on the
ground and came over to my side.
The big kangaroo looked at us
with pitiful eyes and then, with
several short hops, she came
around in front of the bush and
with a grooming kind of a sound
shifted the little animal, which
was on the ground. Then she
quickly put it in her pouch.
She stood on her hind legs, uncer-
tain for moment, looking at US.
and then with great leaps quickly
disappeared into the brush.

we grow up, don't WEI" said
Bunny, dropping one ear and
looking very wise.

Il yelled Elmer, but Mamie was
too frightened to heed and her next
act was a swift swerve; the cycle

made for Mrs. Martin, ran full

resumed its way after a half
