and even though you travel against the
wind they are aware of your presence.
Nature has provided them with large,
broad, padded feet for travelling over
the great snow deserts. They are swift
runners, with a jerky movement that
has a little clicky sound. Under the
snow the lichens, seaweed and grasses
are tender and sweet, and the reindeer,
knowing this, will use his horns and
feet to dig deep for this food.
Young fawns are easily tanned and
become fond of their owners, but you
are tempting fate to try to break an
old one into harness. Once they have
chance to return to freedom they
soon forget the past.
In the Summer the coat is dark and
the hair close, but in the Winter 1t is
much longer and almost inches thick.
AS they move in great herds, their ant
lers appear to be moving leaf1ess trees,
so inconspicuous Is their Winter coats.
The mother brings forth her fawn in
the early Spring, and such beautiful,
| trim, little baby, with the most lovable
ways and willing to be played with and
| fearless! The mother watches tenderly
over it until she is satisfied she Is nc
longer needed.
Man is the most feared enemy the
reindeer has. The wolf is another en-
emy, followed by the lynx and bear
Insects torment one during the Sum-
mer, but the animal soon Is looking
strong and happy after he has reached
the high slopes.
Swimming Is another way they have
! of getting away from their enemies. ano
when followed by boats they will stam-
pede. The males are vicious biters anc
the females expert kickers.

herd of reindeer, and one who owns a
| hundred of them is considered rich
Not one ounce of the reindeer is wasted
| The antlers and bones are made into
| hooks and fish spears. The shin bones
are split and used to scrape the flesh
and fat from the hide. The leather is
rubbed with the animals brains anC
tanned over the smoke of decayed wood

of the fawns are used for clothing and
the tendons from the back of the deer
are split into fine threads for sewing

strings are made from the raw hides.
In 1887 the natives of Northwestern
Alaska were in dire need. 1t was de-
cided that the United States Govern
| ment should introduce reindeer into this
| territory Young natives were given a
reindeer and food for it and made to
serve four years learning how to care
for these animals. In 1892 172 ami
mails were imported. and by 1918 there
were 81 herds and 47,266 animals. Five
, thousand were killed that year for food
and skins. Alaska has 400, 900 square
miles, on which 10,0000 900 may be fed.

could possibly need. But he was in
just as much of hurry as the others,
for they wanted to make sure of those
nuts before any one else should chance
to find them.
So the instant the Squirrel folk
poked their noses outside cary that
morning and had them promptly
pinched by Jack Frost, they scrambled
out and started for the nut trees as
fast as their legs could take them, for
they knew that now the burrs must be
open, and each wanted to get there
first. Even Chatterer started for the
nearby familiar trees, for he meant to
have his share Of the nuts there as
well as those others he had found. He
was just that selfish.
They all reached the trees at about
the same time and they saw at once
that Jack Frost had been busy, for the
few burrs were open. Striped Chipmunk
at once began to hunt among the leaves
for the nuts that had fallen, for he
does not like to climb, but the others
we're up in the trees in a jiffy for the
nuts that had not yet dropped frop
the open burrs. Striped Chipmunk,
having pockets in his cheeks, would

as his little legs could take him, empty
his pockets and scurry back again.
The others, having no handy pockeA

to be taken home to their storehouSeS
later. How they did work. There was
more or less quarTeling when two would
start after the same nuts. Chatterer
had a little the best of it, for he is so
small and light and nimble that he
could get out on the tips Of branches
more easily than his big cousins.
AS jolly, round. bright Mr. Sun began
to climb up in the blue, blue sky, the
Merry Little Breezes of Old Mother
West Wind came dancing along and
began shaking the nuts out Of the
burrs, so that they ratified down and
rolled away under the leaves on the
ground Then such a scrambling as
there was to find them! Such a pull
ing over of leaves! Such quarreling!
So all day long they worked and
worked and when the Black Shadows
came creeping out from the Purple
Hills the Squirrel folk dragged them
selves home, tired, and all but one dis
couraged, for with all their work they
had each got but a handful of nuts.
Chatterer alone was not worried.

Everyday Psychology

Learning.

I am continually receiving letten
from parents who are anxious about the
progress of their children in school. One
recurrent question concerns learning.
1t is generally supposed, I believe,
that children learn best when they
learn a part of the lesson at a time.
Little by little" seems to be the method
adopted by most parents in helping
their children "get their lessons"
Many experiments in learning have
been carried out. Suppose you want to
learn a poem of five stanzas. You will
learn it more rapidly and will remember
it longer if you learn the poem as a
whole rather than a stanza at tims.
The proper method then, would be TO
read the poem through several times
and try to recite it from beginning to
end Keep this up until the desired
perfection Is attained.
This method, while the best on gen.
eral principles, has its limitations. The
human mind, varying with age and ex.
periences, has certain span OF atten-
ton beyond which the whole" method
is ineffective.

THAT BODY OF YOURS
DIR. JAMES W. BARTON, M. d.

Of the joints Of the feet.
AS the entire weight Of the body is
on your feet when you are walking or
standing, you naturally think your feet
are weak or tired from this weight, and
you buy supports for them.
AS you know, the usual cause of
-arthritis or rheumatism in the joints
is infection from teeth, tonsils, gall
bladder or large intestine. Therefore,
the first thought should be thorough
examination by the family doctor and
dentist.
AS it may take a little time to re-
move the infection entirely from the
system. there Is no reason why arch
supports, strapping of the feet or
other methods of relieving pain should
not be used in the meantime. The
mistake is to use these supports to re-
lieVe pain, without removing the cause
Of the pain.
A quick method of getting some of
the poison out of the system and thus
relieving the pain to some extent is by
the use of EPSON or Rochelle salts.
Use OF high enemas is another valuable
method.

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
0verfed Baby.

r T is very easy to judge when a
young mother is reading some Of
| the older literature on baby care
4 and feeding Three hour intervals
and the term, modified milk" are
strongly reminiscent Of an era that has
passed. The modern infant has a
formula" and is fed once every four
hours by the clock. Mrs. r. w. M.
seems to have embraced some Of these
outmoded ideas. Her letter follows:
Il am a very young mother and
am having considerable trouble with
my baby's diet. He is 61a months old,
was a premature of months and
weighs pounds.
II feed him modified milk, which he
doesn't seem to care for. I feed him
every three hours by the clock and
sometimes he will take two ounces and
then push the bottle away and some
times he will take it all. When he
does he keeps it all down, showing that
1t does not disagree with him.
81 give him oatmeal, which he loves,
and carrots and some other vegetables,
all of which he keeps down. He also
takes prune and orange juice. He
isn't getting enough to satisfy him. I
have given him cracker Softened In
his milk and he loves it. The fact Is
he loves to eat and I am afraid he
will wean himself Of the bottle. He
weaned himself of night feeding be-
fore he was months old. He goes
to bed at and sleeps until the next
morning. He sits up beautifully, but
has no sign of a tooth. I shall be
grateful for help through your column. F"
I am sorry you didn't tell me OF
what your milk formula consists. The
whole picture here is one Of overfeed-
ing and the baby's actions confirm that
diagnosis.
A premature of 7 months would not
be expected to weigh more than five
pounds, at most, and the present
weight would be excessive for 412-
month-old child. You must subtract
his prematurity from his present age
to arrive at the child's correct age. His
present weight would indicate over
feeding
would change to the four-hour
schedule, beginning the day at Z am,
and feeding at z, IL, 8 and 7. With
only four feelings, the formula may
be IS ounces of boiled milk, 8 ounces
of boiled water and Az tablespoonfuls
of sugar Give the bottle at am,
cereal and bottle at IL am, vegetable
and bottle at pm. and cereal and
bottle at pm. Orange juice may be
offered at 10 am.
He may enjoy milk by cup and ac-
cept it more readily from that utensil.
But the chances are very good that
If he is given food at longer intervals

Answer-You are certainly doing your
best to undermine your health and ruin

you right-about-face in your habits.
First, have your eyes examined by an

night If you are under 18 years OF age.
Be asleep at 10 pm. and get up at 7 am.
