 By that we mean that if you want to swim, you just must teach those feet of yours to work.

Health Hints
By DIR. NORRIS FIsHBElN

The first scientific consideration of the value of residence at the sea side in relation to health was written { by an Englishman named Richard Russell
 Since that time many others have studied the relationships of the sea to health and nowadays in many places in the world advantages are taken or ouch natural conditions. It might be well to emphasize that as with every other method the wrong use of sea bathing may
 be harmful.
 Danger to Children Some time ago Dr. Philip Mar vel pointed out that children are in- jured by prolonged exposure to cold
 water, that the yare likel yto be-
 come overfatigued due to the en- ! joynlent of the seaside conditions, and that few bathing resorts have adequate provisions for children. | On the other hand. the air. the l sunligt the change of habits. the
 salt water. the breeze, the changes in the diet and many other fac-
 tors associated with residence at the St aside may be of the greatest value i in stimulating a healthful reaction
 in the human body
 Exposure to radiation has already been proved to be of the greatest value in preventing rickets, and there is reason for believing it has
 some relationship to building resist ance against disease.
 The cold at the seaside seems to
 work differently than that in the | mountains Leonard Hill. the em-
 inent physiologist. found that the 1 reactions that go on in the body can
 be stimulated by exposure and by | bathing in the salt water of the sea Add to this the cooling action of the
 winds and the stimulating effects of alternately heating and cooling the body, and plenty of reason is estab-
 lished for the beneficial effects that , have been in general noted to follow residence at the seaside.
 Points of Caution
 These factors apply, of course, in
 the main to those who ere in
 sealthful condition. People with
 temperatures below Aovmal must

Keep Children
 Fairly Busy
They Should Be Given
 Early Responsibilities.

Don't have children lying around the house saying discontentedly. T have nothing to do.'
 If there is nothing for a child to do, something is wrong. There always should be something to oc- |cupy his time.
 During the years of solitary play that is, up to four--a child will keep himself fairly well occupied with his little games of pretend. If he is with other children so much the better-he will be sufficiently entertained by watching or initiating them.
 But after four a child is likely to develop great unhappiness If his play is without definite direction. At this stage small duties assume the at tractiveness of play. He will per- form them as happily as he would take part in a game. The First Job Incidentally such an opportunity may be seized by a mother to de- Nelop work habits without in the least stretching her conscience to do it. It need not cause any guilty feeling on her part If she makes Bobby put away toys. wash his own face, brush his own teeth. take out a basket of rubbish (not too heavy) or other tiny chores. She need nev- CT say. "It's a shame to make that baby work"
 Of course his responsibilities must not be burdensome, but up to a cer- |tain degree he will enjoy them. As the years pass, his duties may change character. or be added to, but every boy and girl should have few duties to take up a part Of that time in which The doesn't know what to do."
 But children need play. They need to play. and play. and play. Play is as necessary as food and air and sun. It is recognized as one of the chief factors of character de- velopment.
 Children do not need expensiy q toys to play with, but they must have things to take up their inter est and activity if it is only a little doll and a few patches to dress it, or some mud or clay to fashion into shapes. Toys need never be ela- borate.
 The game Of pretend after four becomes concrete. Children must and will try out their imaginations. That is why a child will seize upon some simple and often unattra ctive toy upon which to bestow his affec- tions while a whole roomful of ex- pcnsive ones lie neglected. Supervise Play Parents should realize that after four, play needs bit Of supervision. A very small suggestion will often fill up a whole day or weeks. For instance, get him the materials to make a boat and cooperate to the extent of showing him how to go about making it.
 We cannot stress the outdoor play too strongly. These summer days children should just about live out doors. Not on busy street, but in safe place, if possible. That is the big problem Of city communities now-to provide places where chil- dren can play safely. If there Is | yard, that is where the child should be.
 Every home where there are chill dren should have. if possible. yard or open space for them to play.
 And for safety's sake they should stay in it, unless they are in the country or in . quiet community.

Lillian is Stirred to the Depths b! the Letter She Receives from
 Samuel RriNtOn

There was that in Lillians face which made me turn my eyes away with the feeling that she would not what was written upon it. Unrea- soning fear and loathing were in the gaze she was directing at one of the letters which just had been brought to her in the mail, and l marveled at her betrayal of emotion for her wonder increased when she spoke, for her voice was faint and tremu- lous, unlike Lillian's crisp, clear accents.
 "Madge" Just my name and nothing more. But there was a direct appeal in the almost whisper ed word. and l wheeled swiftly and crossed to her.
 Yes, dear girl, what is it?"
 She put up her hand and clasped mine so tightly that 1t was like the grip of a crippled person clutching at another for support.
 "You believe in presentiments, don't you" she asked.
 For q wavering second I hesitat- ed. She so plainly was waiting Tor an affirmative answer that I feared 10 give it and add to the mysterious terror which seemed to have her in it's grip. But she knows me too we'll for either denial or evasion and l shamefaceily voiced a weakness of which she was well aware.
 Yes, I am that idiotic," ad- mltted, "or rather. the more foolish part of me is. My common sense tells me that what l think are pre- sentiments, fulfilled are simply coin cidences."
 She made an impatient gesture.
 "Who is mentioning common sense" she queried. That has nothing to do with it. But I am on my knees to you for every time I've laughed when you've felt that something was going to happen. I'm paying for 1t now with loan shark interest"
 She lifted the letter which had so queerly affected her and slapped it smartly across her palm.

PRINTS FROM OLD TEXTS

Decorators, recognizing beauty in the daintily colored and exquisite ly drawn flower prints in old books of botany, have sought eagerly for them in old bookstalls.

Paired. they hang over a sofa or q desk. where they express the vogue for the quaint.
