The caroler on the left touches the
strings of lutte; the one on the right
sounds the clear notes of trumpet;
and between them a third holds a

Minstrel" has been a magic
word since the dim beginning of the
middle ages. 1t was derived from an
old Latin noun, minister which
means lone who serves"
Through century after century these
singers took their service of joy and
help from one grim castle to another,
asking no pay except the gifts of
those who wished to join with them
in carrying messages of happiness.
In just such spirit have these twen-
tieth century minstrels started forth
on their pilgrimage. They will take
their message of health and Christmas
cheer from state to state, city to city,
into homes all over the land.
And they ask no fee at all except
that willingly given by those who re-
ceive them, according as the song
they sing may relax the strings of
heart and purse.

During the month between now and
Christmas, you will see three carolers
singing every day, everywhere. They
will greet you as you open your mail,
as you walk past store windows, or
open your newspaper. For the carol
ers are painted on the 1926 Christmas
seal
They stand against the deep blue
of a night sky, lighter towards the
top because of the distant glow of
the moon-or a star; deepening into
shadows at the horizon.
For garb, they wear, scarlet cowls
and tights, and bright yellow jenkins.
This same costume minstrels donned
forgotten years ago as they sang
their songs before the roaring, blaz-
ing fires of oak-raftered halls, during
the holiday season.

Intoxicated Children.

The brain of "a child a year old
weighs about pounds. The average
weight of the brain of an adult is
3 pounds. Thus the child has a pound
of brain to 10 pounds of body, where
as the adult has only about 3A ounces
of brain to 10 pounds of body. This
doesn't signify n great deal, for we
know that some idiots have brains
which weigh more than the brains
of some intellectual giants. But 1t
is interesting to know that the young
child has proportiOnately more nerv-
Gus tissue than the adult has.
A child will have a spasm or con-
vulsion from causes which in an adult
would probably produce only a chill.
The childs nervous system predomi-
mates. A child has a higher fever. as
a rule, than an adult does, in any
feVerish sickness. Where an adult
might have a temperature of 101 de-
grees Fahrenheit, a child would very
likely have temperature of 104 de-
grees Fahrenheit.
1t Is a well recognized rule that
a child ordinarily requires a smaller
dose of medicine to produce a given
effect than an adult requires, the
dose for the child being most accur-
ately determined by the ratio Of the
child's weight to adult weight. But
in the case Of sedative, a young child
requires proportionately larger doses
because the young child has proper.
tionately more nervous tissue to be
acted upon by the drug. In the case
of a stimulant, on the other hand, the
young child reacts to relatively
smaller doses than the age or weight

ratio might suggest, for the same rea-
son that the child manifests higher
fever or convulsicns from causes
which would produce in an older per
son only slight fever or shivering.
Now these simple facts ought to
make it clear why children need n"
such stimulants as tea, coffee, StryCh
min. and the like, and no such mar
cotics as alcohol, tobacco. paregoric
soothing syrup.
An adult who is not an invalid or
under medical care for any aiment
may ordinarily take tea and coffee in
moderation with no ill effect and per
haps with definite benefit to health
|, or at least more enjoyment of life.
but seldom can a child under lG years
of age use these beverages which
cheer without intoxicating, because
in children the reaction to these
stimulants is excessive. Among the
results of tea drinking or coffee drink
ing in childhood are peevishness and
irritability of disposition, disturbed or
restless sleep, wakefulness in the late
evening when a regular youngster
should be peacefully pounding his ear.
in some cases bed wetting, in some
cases impairment of digestion and

beverage for children. Pure. fresh
milk. II 1t is imperative to disguise
the milk or to flavor 1t, in order to
make the child drink it, flavor it with
caramel burnt sugar. or with choco-
| late or cocoa, or preferably one OF the
blends of malt sugar and cocoa.
Straight cocoa or chocolate as Il
beverage is less harmful to children
than tea or ceffee. but is by no means
a desirable substitute for milk or even
for hot soup.
| Even the smallest quantities OF
wine, beer or "home brew" beverages
are deadly poison for children. The
vicious practice of feeding young
children lust taste" of such stuff
may readily cause cirrhosis Of the

Efficient Ways Of Stringing Beads
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

| of "A chain of valuable beads Shouiu
know exactly how many beads are on
| it, More than this, she should kno"
just how many there are of each size,
if the beads are graduated. one OF
the first questions asked when string
of real pearls is broken is How many
pearls were there in the necklace!
Every owner OF such a costly necklace
| knows precisely the number of pearls
! in il. This same care should be taken
| 20 know the number of beads in any
necklace where the beads are of any
worth At present the fashion Tor
semi-preciouS bead chains makes TINS
precaution timely.
Beads With Small Holes.
| But it is of the stringing of beads
that l would speak especially. First
of all. how shall beads with the tiniest
of tiny holes be strung? No ordinary
needle can be used, but probably one
of the bead needles as fine as steel
hair will go through the opening. IL
so, thread it with 200 linen thread,
which is surprisingly strong. TO the
end of the thread fasten the cord on
which the beads are to be strung.
Make the fastening as small as posi-
BILE. Stick the threaded needle
through the opening and draw the
| fine cord or the heavy twisted SILK
| through. Should the knot, wee as you
can make it. stick and refuse to be
drawn through, put the tip of the silk
or cord into melted paraffiine. AS it
| hardens, form this tip into n stiff
point. Do not use any needle, but
| thrust this tip through the opening
of the beads. In one or the other OF
these ways the beads can be strung,
without any doubt.
Advantage of Knots.
To prevent beads falling off a
broken chain, make 4 knot between
beads as they are strung. OF course.
you cannot expect to fashion the
marvellous knotted chains that are
done by the Orientals, but you can tie
an ordinary knot large enough not to
slip. even part way, inside the bead as
it is strung. Fit each knot snugly to
the bead as you push it against the
previous knot. Each bead not only
has bit of space to show it off to
advantage, but when the cord or
chain" breaks but one bead will fall
off. Wax the silk, If that is used, and
not the fine cord.

Is a Vegetable Diet Ground for
Divorce?

A woman has filed suit against her
husband for divorce on the ground
that he compelled her To eat vege-
tartan meals and that her digestive
organs have been ruined for lack OF
nutritious" food. She also asserts
there has been no meat in the house
since July, 1925. and that once when
she was dashing out to get real
meal her husband seized her and
dragged her back to the carrots, peas,
cabbage, honey and figs.
Entirely aside from the question as
to the right of either husband or
wife to dictate what the other shall
eat and like, the husband certainly
has a good line of defense if he pleads
vegetables are nutritious. The pro
tein foods are necessary to BODY
building. But meat is not the only
animal protein food. There are eggs,
milk, fish and cheese. There also are
the vegetable proteins found in
Ierumes- in whole grain cereals and
nuts. And only a very small amount
of protein daily is necessary to adults.
Authorities differ as to whether 1t is
necessary to eat any meat in order
to provide protein, but all scientists
agree that at least one-half OF the
DAYS protein should be of vegetable
origin.
The amount of protein needed daily
is figured on normal body weight.
About two or three ounces of protein
are all that a normally healthy per
son can take care of. 1t has been
demonstrated that an oversuppiy OF
protein overtaXes the kidneys. At any
rate, one ounce or one and hal1
ounces of animal protein is all the
healthy person needs. About SIX
ounces of lean meat or fish yleids
around one and one-half ounces oil
animal protein.
