Pets Offer Lessons to Children
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

| the animals are In jeopardy unless
they see that they get food regularly
and of the right sort, and wader also.
The care of pets helps teach chill
| dren the values of life as well as re-
sponsibilities of the pleasantest sort.
They instinctively appreciate the de-
pendence of one life upon apother and
the joy of contributing effort and Of
devoting time to the purpose. They
cherish the affection of the animals
| that is generously accorded in return.
They learn to be kind to all dumb
creatures. They find out that animals
, have definite means of protecting
themselves when molested and that to
tease even d pet may not be wise.
Pets for City and Country.
Those who are SO fortunate as to
live in houses have more freedom in
the selection of pets for their children.
for some of the best of pets are not
welcome in apartment houses. But
even city children can have some sort
of pets such as birds or goldfish. Tn
fortunately neither birds nor fishes
are the kinds on which affection can
be laViShed.
The care of them, however. does
help to create a sense of responsible
charge of the feeding. They also pro
vide something that is alive that
belongs TO the children. The pleasure
of possessing something that needs
you more than any other person in
the whole world gratifies little folk.
They are always asking if they can
not have something for their very
own" Nothing proves more satisfy
ing than d pet even of this sort.
Dogs Favored.
Dogs are foremost in the catalogue
of domestic pets. They protect as
well as are protected. A faithful dog
acts like guard 10 child. Dogs
return affection and express delight
more keenly than any creature that
is not human. They sorrow, too, just
as fully as do humans. for there are
countless instances where a dog has
grieved until he died for master
whom he loved, and who either died or
went away. To give a child a dog is
good investment.
a Playful Pet.
Cats are also favorite pets. one of
their characteristics is that they know
their places. They are unobStrusive
vet playful and responsive to affec--
ton. They are the sort of pets that
are possible to have in almost any
home. Children love cats, whether
they are alert mouSerS or comfortable
pussies that are happy just to curl up
in their laps and purr contentedly.

The Pedicure.

Unless you are more fortunate than
most women, you won't enjoy real
comfort until you have learned to care
for your feet. It is surprising how
few women really know how TO keep
their feet healthy and comfortable,
when you consider that aching backs
and frazzled nerves are so often due
to nothing more than minor foot
troubles.
Whether you have corns or not, give
your feet thorough pedicure once
week The best time is just after a
bath, when the feet have been soak
ing in hot water for some minutes. Ii
there are bad corns, go on soaking the

utes in a basin of hot water with a
little soda or soap in it. Then put bits
of wet cotton over the corns while you
dry and treat the rest of the foot.
Cut the nails straight across. and
cut the large toe nail in a V shape, the
Z pointing in. This prevents ingrow-
ing nails, or if they have already
started, it will keep them from getting
worse. and it will, as an Improvement,
pull the ends of the nails out of the
flesh Scrape off as much dead cutlcle
growing down on the nails as you can,
and clean under them, just as with
YOUR finger nails. Then take off the
wet bits of cotton, and file the corns
with a corn file or shave off the tops
with a corn knife. Then paint them
with collodion, which takes out the
soreness. And that night rub them
with oil or cold cream, to keep the
flesh soft.
If they have been bad, cut horse
shoe shaped piece of felt and bind this
over them and wear it for day or 50

from the Big Rock and swim clear
across the Smiling Pool under water
while the seven little MuSkratS looked
on admirngly.

Of the little Muskrats.
Mother Muskrat shook her head.

very good swimmer, but he isn't the

"Who is a better swimmer" de-

Who cried all the little Musk

Mother Muskrat opened her mouth
and suddenly closed it again without
saying anything. She made sign for
them to keep perfectly still, which
they all did. Out of the Laughing
Brook into the Smiling Pool came a

Suddenly it disappeared. All the little

mouth was a fish. Straight to the
Big Rock swan the fisherman and
climbed out on it.
The seven little Muskrats, with their
little eyes seeming to pop right out of
their little heads. stared at this
broWn-coated fisherman. Never had
they seen any one like him. His body
was long, his legs were short. and his
tail was of good length. tapering and
covered with hair. They noticed this
right away. because, you know, their
own tails are almost bare.
Breathlessly the little Muskrats
watched the brown fisherman as he
sat on the Big Rock eating the best
| portions of that fish. He didn't eat
| the whole fish, but only the very best
part. Then he dived into the water
smoothly and easily and shot across

l776.-Charleston is ready TO meet the
British attack which mas been eX-
pected daily for some time. The
enemy is without doubt preparing to
give us a commandment from their
warships. One detail in their plans
has already gone wrong, much to our
amusement. Their Gen. Clinton had
thought that by landing 5000 soldiers
on Long Island and marching them
across a ford. he could take Col.
Moultrie's fort on Sullivans Island
in the rear. When he drew up his
fully armed force for the advance
across the ford. he and his officers
waded into the water to test its
depth. What he found was that the
water was 7 feet deep at low tide.
So all he can do is to keep his men
on Long Island in a vigorous engage
ment with swarms of mosquitoes,
while sending word to Sir Peter
Parker, commander of the enemy
fleet. that no help could be expected
