Local Chamber Requested
To Support Pittman Bill

Active support of the Douglas
Chamber of Commerce and Mines to-
ward the passage of S-756, known as
the Pittman bill, designed to require
the treasury department. to observe
the terms of the act of April 23,
1918, that provides for the melting
of silver dollars and their replace
ment by purchase from the American
product at 81 an ounce, is sought by
the American Silver Producers as
sociation with offices in Washing
ton, D. c.
A letter received at the local cham
Der from that association states that
the bill calls for he purchase of $14,
$50, 1908 ounces of fine silver in ae
cordance with ALLEGATIONS and sales
previously made under the 1918 act.
1t adds that the PiStman bill was re-
Gently reported favorably by the sem
ate committee on banking currency
but that an adverse report was filed
latter by a minority, which means
, that opposition to its passage may be
expected when it comes up in the
United States senate.
The communication from the coun-
sci of the American Silver Producers
association states that the bill re-
quires no appropriation and makes no
draft upon the treasury, inasmuch as
sales at the equivalent price per
ounce were made with the orders for
re- purchase as required by the act.
The chamber will give the matter
it's attention and it is believed that
support of the bill will be accorded,
by mining interests to whom it means
considerable business.

CAPE BRETON, November u

peek out and watch for Happy Jack,
He hadn't yet seen Happy Jack, but
he felt sure Happy Jack was some
where about. Peter had been sitting
there only few moments when he
heard a rustling. Peter peeked around
the stump and discovered that right
on the other side there We're some
ferns growing. One of these ferns
moved ever so little. Peter caught a
glimpse of a gray coat. He knew 1t
instantly. 1t was the coat of Happy
Jack the Gray Squirrel. Then Peter
made a discovery. Those ferns grew
up around the end of long, hollow,
fallen tree. Peter held his breath
and watched. Presently out Of the
farther end of that tree he saw
Happy Jack Squirrel pop. Happy
Jack sat up. looked all about, then
sCampered away.
Peter remained where he was.
Happy Jack appeared presently with a
nut in his mouth. He looked about in
all directions, then disappeared in the
end of the hollow fallen tree. In
great excitement Peter waited. Pres.
entity Peter saw those fern leaves
right close to him move. Happy Jack
had come out at the other end of that
tree He was under the ferns. Peter
waited until Happy Jack had returned
the way he had come. Then. when
Happy Jack was out of sight, Peter
carefully peeped under those ferns.
Between the roots of that old stump
behind which he had been hiding was
a hole. 1t was quite a good sized hole.
Peter peeped down in it. 1t was more
than half full of fat hickory nuts.
Peter had found the secret of Happy
Jacks storehouse. Happy Jack was
running through that hollow tree
and hiding the nuts In this snug
little storehouse between the roots of
the old stump.

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
Knock-Knees.

Knock-knees are the result of
ricketts, in practically every instance.
Ricketts, cause the bones to be so soft
that the weight Of the child Is sufflci-
ent to bow them when he stands
or walks. 1t is not because a child
walks too early. Is most children who
walk very early are strong enough
to do so. The bow.legged children
are usually the late walkers, the
heavy. loggy children who resent
being dragged to their feet and made
to walk around, because they are not
ready for 1t.
A child with tendency to ricketts,
should not be urged to walk. His
diet should be corrected and should
include cod liver oil, sometimes plain.
sometimes phosphorized Gf advised

plenty of air and sunlight.
Some mothers become very much
worried about the position in which
their babies legs fall naturally, that
young babies this Is a perfectly nor
NAL way for the legs to be, as they
were bent into this position before
birth. This Is not a case OF bow
leggedness. but natural one. 1t is
after the baby begins to walk and his
legs round out. instead of being
sturdy and straight, that one may
feel real alarm.
If the diet and cod liver oil are he

leggedness is noticed there is every
chance that the legs will outgrow this
bowed condition. If the Child's diet
and his general health are not i'm

| Where meal hours are not needed or
where the meals are not served
punctually, there is uneasiness which
is disturbing. II the work is done in
a haphazard way and at times that
suit the worker. with no regard to
the rest of the household, the home is
| in a ferment continually. The prac
tice of doing everything on the spur
of the moment does not tend to make
the domestic machinery run smoothly
Where Happiness Lies.
And so we find that n"the running
OF home. comfort and happiness lie
between extremes of routine and
chaos. There must be enough Of rou-
tine to balance the deviations from 1t
to give stability and enough variety
to give zest. There must be three
meals day and 2l meals A week, but
there may he pleasant surprises in
differing menus. There must be laun-
dry work. but not invariably on Mon,
day. If we can gather our friends
about us over week end. and this in
terferes with washing being done on
Monday. it can he done on Tuesday,
at least occasionally. without upset

cause you. the housewife, are annoyed
by the work not getting done at the
customary time. 1t Is only when such
occurrences tend to become habitual
that they endanger the desirable rou-
tine.
Pleasures Add Zest.
1t is the unexpected that brings the
most Zest to life: the chance to do
something long wished for; the seeing
of friends who we thought were far
away: the turn that business takes
that brings in greater income or af-
fords bigger opportunities for develop
ment: the joy of having matters go
we'll with those dear to us when the
outlook was unfavorable, etc. Such
events not only bring happiness. but
they are very apt to upset routine.
Perhaps an entire day Is "off sched-
ule. perhaps meals are interfered
with, but what does it matter? The
routine can be resumed while the big
ger things must be taken when they
come, when the time for their full
filment is ripe. 1t is, in an atmo-
sphere of routine tempered with an
understanding of the importance of
variety that housekeeping reaches it's

he should tell Peter, Peter would tell
some one else He Wouldn't mean TO

that he would see Happy Jack enter
