TASKS THAT TEACH
Brooklyn dame

 Every home can offer children the opportunity to do various small jobs and remunerate them.
 There are, for instance, leaves to he rakcd, the yard to be tidied, trash to be carried out. dishes to be dried and crrands to be run.
 II is good for children to do work for which they are paid. Nothing else will so quickly teach them the value of money. But the tasks which child undertakes should be carefully selected. They should be neither too long nor too difficult. They should be the sort of thing that he or she is really able to do well.
 Discretion is necessary in deter mining what tasks should be com- pensatcd with money. When the child does some chore spontaneous ly he should never be paid for it. Such work is a gift and the only fitting kind of pay is love and ap- pr"cjation.
 He should never be paid for work which he is compelled to do. Such work as is required of him should hr regarded simply as his share in the work of the family and the homr.
 Th" conditions of all work which is done for pay in the adult world, ideally at least, are that both om- ployer and employe should enter voluntarily into the agreement
 There should be a clear under standing of the amount and quantity of work tO be done with usually some stipulation as to when it must be completed. The agreement should b" entered into in good faith with the understanding that the failure Of ether party to live up 10 his share of the bargain voids the contract
 These are also the conditions under which q child should do work for which he is paid. They will make clear the distinction between work done for love, work done as a duty and work done for money. It will be a realistic preparation for d wholesome attitude towards work in adult life.

Peter Rabbit was having good time. Yes, sir. he was having d good time. He was teasing Flip the Ter . rier and he was enjoying it. II" ' was hopping around inside the dear . Old Briarpatch where Flip coulG . see him and Flip was doing his best Q 10 get into tho dear Old Briar-patch, but the bramhlcs prevented him. , Every time he came to one of the g openings to Peters private little paths, he would try to force his way . in. Peter would wait until Flip had craWled in part way and then Peter would hop off Flip would back out, yelping from tn" scratches he had , received. and rush around the edge . of the Briar-patch until he could again seo Peter, Yes, it was great fun for Peter.
 Q At last Flip came 10 an opening that was a little bigger than the others and this time he managed - 10 get through the brambl"s and really inside the old Briar-patch. Peter promptly took 10 his heels along the nearest little path that led outside and a moment later was out of the dear old Brar-patch. while Flip was in it. Peter scampcr- ed along 10 the other end of the dear Old BrIar-pat.h and there sat down and waited. Flip came ont the same way he went in and promptly raced around after Peter. .ts soon as Peter saw him coming he kicked up those long heels Of his and away he went, lipperty-lipperty-Hp until he came 10 the entrance 10 one of his private little paths. In ho popped.
 Flip pokcd his head in. found that he couldn't get through the hrambles, then raced around to the opening where he could get in. once more he crawlcd through and was inside the dear Old Er.ar- patch. Then Peter played the same trick again. It was q regular game of in and out. It was long time since Peter had had so much fun.
 Meanwhile littl" Mrs. Peter had been anXlouSlN sitting under some branches well hidden in the middle of the dear Old Briar- patch. She wasn't enjoying this performance at all. She was provoked with Peter.
 If only Peter had kept perfectly still in the first place that dog never would have discovered him and wouldn't have tried to get in here" said she 10 herself. My goodness, I do hope he will not find mo, Peter does the craziest things. Sometimes I think he hasn't bit Of sense. Oh dear. Here comes that dog this way now"
 It was true. Flip had suddenly dr- cided that while he was insid" tn" dear Old Briar- patch he might ae well explore il. While he couldn't move about freely there were som" open places where there were no brambles. So it was that presently he came up to the little bram bIe tangle in which little Mrs Peter was hidden. He saw the little opening

Marion Davies Advice Puts a Different
 Complexion On Way to Care For Skin

Probably more time and attention is spent by women worrying over and working with their complcXions than any other beauty feature. and yet the ma jOrity of women have poor skins The reason lies perhaps in the fact that so many factors in tluCnCe the condition of the com pleNion that unless all are religious ly followed, the results will not be entirely satihfactory explains Mar ion Davies
 "Thcre are the general health of the body. the diet, the amount of sleep, the amount of water drunk. the state of cleanliness of the skin and the cosmetics used" she said "All these are determining factors and the ways to remedy the com pleXion faults must be judged ac- cordinGly.
 "A diet too rich in fats and oily skin. Lack of sleep makes rings under the eyes and flahby skin. while insufficient water will make the skin sallow and toneloss. At least eight glasses should he drunk daily.
 "The respective merits of cold cream and soap and water will al ways be disputed, I suppose. Suffice it to say here that cold cream should not be used on oily skin. Warm water and a pure soap is eX- ccllcnt Whichever is used, an astrin- gent should follow If soap in in clncd to irritate the skin, use give orinc and rose water to keep it aoft stimulate the skin by batting it firm ly with the fingers, always with an upward motion.

 Instantly he was all excitement. IIc knew it wasn't Peter for this Rabbit was smaller, He began to try 10 force his way in. He yclpcd as the bramblos scratched him, but he kept on trying to force his way in. Little Mrs, Peter could stand it no longer. She dartcd out on the farther side, Instantly Flip withdrew his head from under the bramblcs and was after her. Little Mrs. Peter heard Peter humping outside the old Briar-parch.

Preparing Ground for
Crop of Horseradish

Soil for horseradish is right if not
soggy az nur. It should be prepared
the same as for q crop of potatoes.
Rlow furrows about 10 inches deep, 8
feet apart, place the cuttings about 10
inches apart in furrow and about 8
inches below level Of soil. After fill
ing in burrows with riding cultivator
sow one ton Of fertilizer per acre, run.
ming 7-10-6. Where the cuttings are
planted. after sowing fertilizer on top
of rows, harrow twice and level with
plank. Keep weeder or harrow run
ming once "a week until shoots are an
INCH high, then use spike-tooth cultiva-
tor so as to run close to shoots with
out covering them with soil.
The roots are prepared for market
by washing them in tub, using a
stubby broom. They are shipped in
bags or barrels. The price has aver
aged about 6 cents per pound for the
last few years; five tons per acre
would give you about 5000.
