Your Baby and Mine
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
Appeals to Child's Pride.

My files are harboring me letters
from readers. which ! have put aside
saying to myself: Some day I'll print
that Today seems to be that day
Here's a little boy CT two and a half
who has sucked his middle fingers from
birth. i did nothing about it." writes
his mother, Mrs. r. w. M, and noted
that as he grew older he did it less and
less, until finally it was done only a
few moments prior to going to sleep.
Sometimes when he would be tired he'd
start this and I'd say: That's a baby
habit 1t didn't have much effect
Early last month we visited friend
whose baby is Ia months cid. She puts
everything into her mouth. even her
dress and was constantly being remind
ed of it. She paid no attention and my
youngster took 1t upon himself to take
her dress cut. or anything else except
food. 1t was comical to see them, both
such babies
But the point Is tina: from that day
to this he's never sucked his fingers.
He would look at them and you could
almost see him saying: No. to himself.
1t seems to worry him when he sees
children putting anything in their
mouths, and always wants me to tell
them about it.
The fact that children sometimes stop
sucking their fingers when they see
themselves in the mirror is the same
sort of experience as checked this habit
The boy discovered that it didn't lock
very attractive and the responsibility he
felt toward correcting the baby set up
the same habit of denial in himself.
Now here is another contribution on
nail biting. from an adult nail bitter.

when you say that punishment and
scolding never help to cure such habits.
was a victim of the nail biting habit.
over 40 years ago, and remember that
scolding and punishment made me
worse. When my parents saw that they
were increasing my nervousness and the
desire to bite my nails by constantly
trying TO make me stop, they get me a
very nice ring, and when bit my nails
/ could not wear my ring for day or
two. 1t worked like magic with me,
for I was so anxious to wear the ring.
and its appearance on my finger Guild
remind me to keep my fingers out OF my
mouth"
The parents were sensible to use this
pleasant reminder. instead of something
horrid and 6isfigurfng Your pride in
the ring, and your desire 10 keep it on
your finger, we're the incentives needed
to stop the habit.
This Is the same principle as mani
curing the nails with a view to srouS-
ing pride in their appearance and a re-
luctance to mar them. Ali of these
stimulants to a chiid.s pride in the
appearance of the hands are legitimate
ones. When they are more powerful
than the ehild's desire to work CT ner-
SouS irritation by nibbling at the nails,
the habit Is conquered.

The prize is an extra spoonful of ice
cream or one candy more than usual.
A flower petal would be too fragile to
carry a heavy prize smile is better
than any other sort OF prize for penny

Another flower game is always a sue
cess when little girls play it. You
gather flowers and make garlands. Then
you wear the garlands and make believe
you are somebody out of a story. ANY,
body who is beautiful and who was be-
loved will do, but mostly queens.
Clovers mixed with daisies are fine.
Oak leaves make lovely crowns. Wild
strawberries are fine for jewels, and by
and by they can be used for more prac-
tical purposes. Interior decorations, as
1t were.
An afternoon spent under a tree
weaving garlands or making penny
poppy shows while some one tells stories
or recttes poetry or plans a play is a
restful way of passing IN hour that
might otherwise have been duh enough.
Children love simple things like flowers
and fairy tales, and If one can combine
them the day becomes a holiday and
the little group a party Maybe you
have some bits of glass handy? And a
book Of fairy tales?

ORB WEAvERS.


THE handsome black and yellow
spiders of the garden make the
most intricate webs. The web of one of
these spinners is piece Of work started
and never left until it is completed
task They are always hung in an open
space along the line travelled by winged
insects. Clever huntress she most surely
is and makes no mistakes.
The foundation lines are laid first.
The thread is fastened to its starting
point and the weaver spins her thread
as she goes toward the distant spot. She
is careful as she moves along not to
touch anything which would break her
thread. She does this by holding the
thread high in the air by her four
hind legs Then she drops down to her
starting point and ties this thread in
and then makes other spokes.
If she wishes a spoke to be placed
where 1t is difficult for her to crawl. she
sends out line on the air. The breeze
catches It, Mrs Spider can ten by the
feel of it when it has struck and stops
paying out the silk thread.
The framework is strengthened by
many threads of silk and the spokes are
added The first two are stretched from

sthced. When all the spokes are in she
goes to the center, or hub, and there
she tests her wires.
The guide lines do not stretch or stick.
The spiral lines give and are very
sticky Wide bands Of silk are used for
the center and any excess silk Is eaten.
1t takes about an hour for her to get
her wehfready
If she so desires, she sits in the hub,
awaiting her prey, or she may go and
hide nearby She has hold of wire
which will let her know at once if a
small or a large insect has been caught
in her web.
When an insect is caught the weaver
rushes to him and begins spinning silk
and wrapping it about him Should he
be too determined to get away she gives
him q stab and in little while he
Quiets down Then she takes him to
the center OF the web or to her place Of
seclusion ana dimes upon him. After
the meal she throws the remains away
If the insect is a tender enc, it will
all be eaten. After the web is in

Hemorrhoids.

In an earlier talk I explained that
piles (hemorrhoidsl are varicose veins.
that an attack" of piles means acute
Inflammation or acute pains or acute
bleeding and that the subsistence of this
ATTACK" Is not the cure OF the trouble.
The prevention of this very common
and painful condition has two phases.
First, the prevention OF the varicose
citation or enlargement of the hemor-
Thoidal veins. Second, the prevention
OF acute Inflammation, pain or bleed
ing where such yaricosity Is already
present.
The derivation of the term hemor-
filoids is from Greek roots, meaning
veins liable to discharge blood One
reason why the veins in this situation
are so subject to congestion, dilation or
enlargement, and hence to Inflammation
and bleeding, is that they have -
valves to relieve them Of the weight d
the column of blood they support while
the individual Is in the upright position.
The hemorrhoidal veins drain blood d.
Fectly into the portal VEIN which con-
veys blood to the liver. Th0s anything
which tends to congest or engorge the
liver predispOSes to hemorrnoids or ag-
gravates the trouble II it is alreaoy
present.
The most direct relief OF remedy,
preventive and curative. In any case is

INNING spaciously is one of the ma


jor occupations OF Honolulu.
When the Hawaiian Islands in 1898
Joined their ssmi-tropical fortunes with
those of the United States they brought
with them tall, swaying banana and
coconut palms and great sweeps of
pineapple. Then the waves that break
on the white beach at WAIKIKI began
whispering secrets about chicken cooked
in spinach and coconut to the newly
arrived American flag.
The early Summer moon seems to
pine for the twang Of a Hawaiian
guitar and the fragrance of chicken.
spinach and coconut. So why not lay
your bare table with grass mats. ferns,
bright flowers and a centerpiece of
bananas. oranges persimmons and
lines? Then get bowls for each guest
the way HSweiians do. They also hang
wreath of fresh or paper flowers on
each chair.
Here is the menu for feast for IL
once enjoyed in Honolulu. First came
salmon Lomi in small mahogany bowls.
One pound of smoked salmon was
placed in a~pan and covered with boil
ing water and drained three times. 1t
was then faxed and freed of bones
Six fresh tomatoes. sliced fine; one
large onion, chopped. and one -half
green pepper chopped were kneaded to-
gether with the salmon. This hors
d'oeuyre was then chilled.
The main dish was a large chicken
cut up and Drowned In butter. 1t was
then simnered In water until tender.
Two fresh coconuts were grated and
the meat put in cheesecloth bag and
squeezed dry The coconut milk was
added to q peck of spinach that had
been cooked, drained and chopped fine.
Then the spinach and some salt jumped
in with the chicken and purred with
pleasure for 10 minutes. This was also
served in bowls.
There was banana and coconut
pudding made of six ripe bananas put
through a sieve and mixed with one
half cup of arrowroot flour first moist
ened with a scant cup of milk. Then,
to improve matters further and to add
a little more good .nourishment, one
half cup of sugar and one tablespoonful
of melted butter joined up, and the
WHO'S thing went into a buttered bak-
ing dish and cooked slowly for one

Try Kleenex for removing face
creams. Authorities say it's best,
because Kleenex is so powerfully
absorbent that it blots all impuri-
ties from the pores.
Many nome uses
Use Kleenex for wiping spectacles
and razor blades. For busting and
polishing. Mothers find Kleenex in
valuable in caring for babies.
Kleenex is so enormously popu-
lar that any drug, dry goods or de-
partment store can supply you.
The package is CeElophane-wrapp

nient arrangement permits tissues
