Mrs. Monkey-face the Barn Owl was
in a most undecided state Of mind
Yes, sir: she was SO. You see, she
was beginning to think of the time
that would soon come when she
would have the care of a lot of eggs,
and after that lot Of hungry, growing
children. Never before had she been
SO undecided. Always her eggs had
been laid in dark corner of the belfry
of church a long way from where she
was now living. Never had there been
any question as to where the nest
should be. 1t always had been in that
particular place for the very good
reason tnat there had been no other
place suitable.
Here in Farmer Browns big barn it
was different There were several
places where those precious eggs might
be laid. The trouble was that not one
of those places really suited her. yet
she could find none better To begin
with, the floor of the haymoW was too
far below the rafters on which she and
Monkey-face liked to roost. and too far
below the hole in the gable window by
which they entered and left the barn
There are two corners down there
either OF which could be made use of.

planned to Monkey-tace. They are not
dark enough to begin with. Sitting on

back and forth and spit at you in no
ladylike manner. If frightened, she
misses, her eyes glare and her hair
stands on end, as if she has seen an
apparition. If she is hurt, she screams,
and she has war cry that would put
an Indian to shame. Her love song is
SO agonizing that it has called down
wrath and missiles on her head.
Her sight is best at night The re-
f1ecting surface enables her to use the
dim light by reflection, and this gives
the strange green glare to the eye. All
cats have this type of eye. In the day
time the pupil is narrow up-and-
down slit. When the cat is greatly ex-
cited the pupil nearly covers the whole
eye. The iris of the eye is usually yell
low. but in kittens it is blue or green.
Her ears are set on either side OF the
head, like two hollow cones. They are
filed with sensitive hairs, and she can
move her ears to aid in catching a
sound Her nose is moist and her sense
of smell extremely keen.
The cats whiskers are most impor
tant to her. They are 25 to 80 long
hairs arranged in four lines above and
on each side of the mouth and are
connected with sensitive nerves. With
out their aid the cat is Sorely handl-
capped.
Her fur is soft and thick. 1t is very
sensitive, as you may find by trying to
rub it the wrong way. The teeth are
especially shaped and arranged for her
to earn her own living. The very small
inciSors of the upper and lower jaw
scrape the meat from the bone. The
large tusks. or CANNES, on each jaw are
sharped and hooked, as they are used
to seize the prey and also to carry it.
There is a space behind these teeth. SO
that they pass freely past each other.
The mouth opens at right angles and
enables the owner to get better grip
on her prey. The molars are four on
each side above and three on each side
below. Their function is to grind the
meat into small pieces before it is swal-
lowed. The tongue is covered with
backward suction-like protuberances
which raSp the juices from the meat.
The upper legs are provided with
strong muscles for leaping. the toes are
well padded and each toe is finished
with a sharp claw, which is sheathed
when walking.
Great attention is paid to the toilet
and a paw is used for the WaShcloth.
which is freshened we'll before it is used
again. The kittens are chastlsed by
being given a sharp cuff on the side Of
the head They are early taught to
stalk their prey, in spite of the fact
they are we'll fed and overweight.
Cats never seem to become truly civ
ilized and at any moment will revert
to their savage ways. Birds are an un-
ending temptation, and the only way to
cure them of this habit is to sprinkle
the caught bird with red pepper and
return it to its slayer. One experience
is often enough.
The first word that every cat learns
to know and understand is Scat"

PERSONAL HEALTH
SERVICE
BY WILLIAM BRADY. M. d.

The nature and cause of cancer are
still unknown and therefore no Spe-
cific cure is known and the best
means of prevention for any mdivid-
ual is a matter of the opinion OF his
physician.
Probably more than one disease is
covered by the term cancer Physl-
clans recognize at least three distinct
types of malignancy, first carcinoma.
the common internal organ cancer OF
persons of mature age; second, eplthe-
lioma, the familiar surface or skin
cancer of elderly persons; third, sar-
coma, the most rapidly developing and
most quickly fatal type of cancer OF
bone, gland or flesh of persons OF any
age, even children.
To the best of our present knowl-
edge, no type of cancer is contagious,
infectious or communicable in any way,
except by direct incubation. Ordl-
nary soap and water personal cleanll-
ness is ample precaution for anybody
to take in handling. living with or
nursing cancer patient.
Most students of cancer agree that
cancer is not hereditary. but some
students are inclined to think certain
individuals are born with a deficiency
of whatever it may be that keeps most
of us immune Not that one is more
likely to have cancer if ones parent or
grandparent had 1t. That certainly Is
not so.
Cancer is so common that 1t is
rather unusual for more than two
generations of any family to escape it
altogether.
The wise man or woman, when con-
fronted with any suspicion or possibil-
ity of cancer, applies at once to his or
her physician for examination and ad-
vice. The fool tries whatever quack
treatment happens to be making the
loudest noise at the moment
How may quack cancer remedies or
quack cancer healerS be distinguished
from reputable or trustworthy ones?
That is very easily done. If the
remedy or the healer pretends. prom
iSeS or guarantees cure, it or he is a
humbug. The honest physician holds
out no promise of success, but only
does the best he can. The success of
the treatment in any case depends
largely upon early recognition of the
nature of the trouble and prompt ap-
plication of whatever treatment the
case requires.
Even the most indifferent lavman
must heed certain danger signals and
beware of taking a chance" by ignor-
ing them or poStponing the visit to
the physician. Some such danger sig
mails are
l. Dyspepsia" loss of weight and
loss of strength, developing in man
past middle age.
2 Any small obstinate sore on
cheek or lip Of an elderly person,
which refuses to heal or breaks open
again and again.
3. Any unusual discharge or bleed
ing from a woman who has borne
several children and who is past her
menopause.
4. Any alleged internal piles" in
a person past middle age whose health
and strength begin to decline in
sidiously.
Procrastination. false modesty or in
some instances reluctance to learn the
truth. keeps many victim of can
Ger from being cured
Surgery or electro-surgery. X-ray
and radium, or combinations of these,
are the most potent remedies avail
able for the treatment of cancer; in
fact these are the only remedies justi-
fed by experience.

Child Who Will Not Save.

ANY child will save if he is properly
disciplined. Every mother knows that
a child'S natural inclination is to spend
every cent of money on which he gets
his hands. He must be trained to save,
but the training is easier at an early
age than it will be later when habits
become more set.
Younger children can be taught to
save at the table. Deprive them of the
dainties of which they are fond, eX
planning to them that you didn't have
enough pennies to buy them. You
might get them to save with you for the
dainties, and then get them interested
IN saving for other purposes.
Deprive child of everything but the
food that he needs to grow and be
healthy. When you omit dainties from
his diet as a salutary lesson substitute
some substantial food. Health comes
before wealth. This one means Will
suggest others. A child. like a parent
needs some lnducement TO save.
No child will save merely to accumu-
late money which he never sees. A
child will save, however, if you tell him
that if he saves so much by Christmas
Santa Claus will reward his thrift with
big star. Or he can have the roller
skates he wants if he will help you save
LOT lIeM.
An excellent way to induce child to
save is TO get him interested in a hobby.
Girls will save to clothe their dolls.
Some parents might object to the prin-
c4ple OF saving to spend. The fact is
however, that child who learns to be-
come thrifty for a reason retains his
habits of thrift when his reasons are
more lasting ones.
In encouraging a child to save ac-
emulation of money is not as impor-
tant as saving itself OF course, the
age Of the child is vital factor. A
young girl at work may be induced to
save by limiting or enumerating the
costs Of living with her fairy prince
spouse in the ofing. A youth may be
encouraged to save so that he may
realize his business schemes. or satisfy
his WanderluSt, or make loves young
dream come true
No matter how hopeless the case may
be- or seem to be, every child has some
sensitive spot which. properly touched,
Will be means of leading him to save.
Pride OF possession may be appealed to.
independence is always desirable to all
ages OF youth, realization of ambitions.

Finn" He did not use an air
plane, but he used his legs; and
his fame spread far and wide.
In short distance runs, Nurmi was
not so good as the Canadian athlete
Coaffee, or the American, Paddock; but
in long runs he set records which others
could not equal. He ran a mile in four
minutes ten and two-ffth seconds back
in 1928, and the next year ne ran five
miles in twenty-four minutes six and
one-fifth seconds.
Nurmi still is great RUNNER, but
other Firms are pressing him for honors
in long distance running.

Is the Republic of Finland, a land
larger than Great Britain, but smaller
than France. In 1880 / paid visit to

the Swedes who live just across the
Baltic Sea. They are round-headed
folk, rather tall and strong. Long ago
their ancestors lived In Asia.
More than half Of all the land in
Finland Is forest. Pine and spruce
trees are the most common, but there
are also birch, alder, ash and oak trees.
Apple trees planted in Finland have
borne fruit in the southern part, but
not in the northern part.
In the Finnish forest live bears,
wolves, foxes and elks. Swans, geese,
ducks and moorcocks are among the
birds which fly about.

Scissors in Child's Hands.

From the moment the young run

its head There is so much that baby

like mice? How make him understand.
now and forever, that the wall paper

scraWls Of his busy pencil. She can
see how useless it is to lock the barn
door after the horse is stolen. how
ineffective is any punishment which
comes hours after the damage had
been wrought and forgotten by the
busy little mischief maker.
With small babies mothers steer
clear course and that course is to
teach respect for the property of
others AS in all things. the child
learns best what my" means by being
given something that is his own. He
learns that mother is not intent on
curtailing his joyous activities. but
merely on teaching him how to act.
Scissors are harmless and just as ex-
citing to use on scrap paper as on the
worlds best literature. Crayons make
just as thrilling scraWls on paper
tackled on a blackboard as on the
living room walls. She wants him to
understand that.
If the baby is under the eye of his
mother. she may teach him this by
consistently and persistently stopping
any activities directed toward the
wrong objects, and Immediately substi
tuting the right ones. II, perchance.
she can't spend her days watching the
young dynamo. she can make use OF

attitude of privacy to baby'S playpen.

this as babyS playroom These are
all just substitutes for real playroom
of babys own, but they are satisfac-
tory ones. The chief advantage of any
such play space is the sense that baby
derives of having a place of his own
where he may keep his own things.
Here nothing he does is mischief Here
every opportunity is provided for act
ing in the way all babies want to act
BY such means mother makes it
plain that scissors can be harmless
and amusing if used for play with
things provided for play and harmful
and destructive when used on the
household possessions. BY means Of
this little nook of his own. baby learns
the JOY and value of property that is

bulbs. They had some narcissus
bulbs which were going to be put in
bowls with water and pebbles. They
knew that it took about nine weeks
from the time the bulbs were put in
to the time when they showed full and
vigorous Towering.
But they wanted to do things with
some other flower bulbs too.
They had attended lectures at
garden center III their city and had
learned that bulbs needed resting
period. This period should have been
preceded by a time when the foliage
had had plenty of opportunity to de-
velop and then to be despoiled by cold
outdoor weather.
The period when foliage is growing
Is also the time when new flower shoots
are developing inside the bulb.
The resting time needs cold tempera-
