 A certain amount of fuel must be taken to maintain the body temperature and to provide ener- gy for the action of the heart. the lungs and the muscles. If the supply is not sufficient. the body reacts by depression and not in frequently with fatigue or ner- yousncss.

 The health habits and efficiency Of 100 normal children were studied in contrast to 100 mal- nouris!acd children. It was found that in children who were under fed fatigue and nervousness were much more frequent than in chil- dren whose weight t-height index was within 1o per cent of the normal.
 The health habits Of abnormal children were poorer than those of the normal, and their efficiency vas about one-third of that of normal children. Their efficiency was noted both by the mother and by the teacher to be inferior to that of children properly nour- 1 ished.

 . Among the most common causes Of nervousness in children is the absence of really free time in the days routine. The parents who are most eager to see their children successful and happy are the very ones who make the mistake of so planning the child's activities that he has no chance to live his own life.
 Many children. after spending a half. or even full day in school. dash off to a music lesson or a dancing class. On Saturday they find themselves scheduled for some club activity and Sunday is given over to Sunday school and church affairs.
 The child whose every waking hour Is thus communicated usually is subjected as we'll to a perfection. ist training that makes him aware of every fault. Each mistake or bit of negligence is commented on checked or reproved.
 The child who lives under such constant pressure has no time to think his own thoughts. dream his own dreams and find out what his own tastes and abilities really are.
 It Is no wonder that he often de velops all the symptoms of nervous. ness. crying spells. sleeplessness. poor appetite. irritability and tenn per tantrums.
 The school child generally needs all his spare time for free play. The cultural advantages of extra lessons and scheduled activities can rot compensate for th1 loss to his initiative and spontaneity. nor for the nervous strain they almost in evitably cause.
 |. Provided he gets enough fresh air and sunshine in his leisure hours he should be allowed to use them quite as he peases. The time he spends dreaming over a book. mess- ing about in the garage. or hatchinR wild schemes with his friends is more likely to contribute to his balanced development than all the nice refinements and advantages his parents can impose.

Spo0ky Tries to Bluff By Thornton w. Burgess

When you are cornered. try a
 bluff:
 Sometimes you'll find 1t is enough.
 -Spooky the Screech Owl
 Spooky the Screech Owl is . lit- tie fellow. He is smaller. much smaller. than he looks to be. You see. his feathers are very fluffy and he keeps them fluffed out. If you could see him without any feathers at all. you would be surprised to see how little he is.
 Spooky l. not . coward. He may be afraid. very mch afraid. but if he is. he doesn't show it. Instead. hs tries to make you afraid. He bluffs. Yes. sir. that is just what he does. He pretends to be very fierce and savage. He glares as only an owl can N re. He snaps his bill and sometimes misses. and he strikes with his big. sharp claws.
 Spooky was a prisoner in Farm CT Browns grain bin in the barn. He was a badly frightened prison ar. He had flown down in there to catch . young rat and the lid had fallen. For a while he forgot the young rat. But presently when noth ing happened. Spooky remembered the young rat T may as we'll have | good meal anyway" thought he, and proceeded to eat the young rat. He had swallowed all but the tail The tail was hanging from one CO., ner ot his mouth. when he heard a sound outside the grain bin. spooky's heart gave a bound He knew that sound. Footsteps were approaching.
 Now. Spooky had planned that the instant that lid should be lifted. hs would fly out. But it is one thing to plan and another thing 10 do what you have planned. The lid Q :, that grain bin was thrown open suddenly and it let light in with d rush. It was all so unexpected that all Spooky could do va. to blink You see, he couldn't adjust his eyes to the light so quickly. So, Of course, he didn't fly out. Farmer Brown , Boy saw Spooky at once. Such q funny look as there was on the face of Farmer Browns Boy.
 Well well. we'll" exclaimed Farmer Browns Boy. ''Just sec who's here. What are you doing in the grain bin. and how under the sun did you get caught2"
 Just then Farmer Browns Boy saw the tail Of rat hanging from Spooky's mouth. He ehnclSled when Ia saw this. 50 that's it'" said he.

DAHLIA CULTURE

The proper srason for planting
dahlias has now arrived. Those who
have already planted have made no
mistake except that the chances OF
having the finest blooms coroe at the
time OF the Autumn dahlia shows are
lessened. Dahlias prefer a sandy loan
soil. but are not eXactfn2 in this re-
ouirement and do well in any soil where
water does not stand. The soil should
be Spaded again before planting. even
though this was done in early Spring.
There is no better time to set the stakes
than Just prior to planting, and II one
so desires the variety label may be
tackled directly or the stake.
The distance between plants should
not be less than three feet in both
directions. For fertilizer a large hand
full of pulverized sheep manure or bone
meal placed in the bottom of each hole
and covered with two or more inches
or soil before placing the tuber will
assure large and abundant blooms. This
fertilizer should be mixed with the bot
tom soil.
When fully covered, the tubers should
stand about four or five inches below
the ground level. It is advisable to
cover gradually, drawing in the rest
Of the soil as the sprouts emerge.
Growth will be fastened by watering
the newly-set tubers. especially II the
soil is dry. For several reasons the
dahlia is a satisfactory plant for the
home garden. 1t has no insect or plant
disease enemies except, perhaps, cut
worms, which draw no favorites. The
flowers come in September and october
when there is a dearth of garden flow
ers. Given sunlight, fertilizer and a
little cultivation. the dahlia is almost
certain to repay the gardener for his
effort.

PRUNING SHRUBS

This is the logical time OF year to
rrune the Towering shrubs. such as
bridal wreath. early deutziaS. NOW
balls, forsythia and mock oranges.
Plants which Powered p~rofusely are
rather unsightly and. what is more 70
the point. the old Towering wood will
never bloom again and is really only an
encumbrance TO the plant. Young
plants require little pruning beyond
that of clipping out these old Towering
shoots. but old. overgrown shrubs will
often profit from a more thorough
operation. which includes the remova
of some of the Oldest stems at the base.
In some cases it may be necessary to
cut back the entire head OF the plant
To a lower height. that is. to shear of
the crown of the plant. Such plants
will soon break into new growth and
with good culture and some fertilizer
may be in condition TO bloom freely
next Spring.
Pruning is universally a dwar1ng
process. except in the case of old. de-
vitalized plants, hence it is advisable
to spare the knife on the younger.
thrifty plants. but for old plants no
procedure is more beneficial than
pruning.
