hot water and mild soap, has the ef-
feet of reducing the excessive action OF
the skin glands: Essence of bergamot,
one dram; glycerin, six drains; tincture
of perchloride of iron, enough to make
four ounces. Apply with small sponge
or clean piece of absorbent cotton, after
bathing the parts with hot water and
soap and rinsing well in cold water.
Remember that every dainty woman
keeps her armpits free from hairs for
the sake of perfect cleanliness as well
as for appearance sake. There are sew
eral commercial hair removers on the
market, and it Is important to select
reliable one. A lady's small safety razor
may be used after the hair has been
softened by soaping. Apply a good
toilet water afterward.
Every morning after your bath
dampen the armpits with salt solu-
ton, and at bedtime wash them with
warm water and a mild soap, and apply
a lotion made of two ounces OF witch
hazel and one tablespoonful Of carbo-
nate of soda. There are various hygie-
enic methods that will help to overcome
excessive perspiration, provided that the
armpits are kept free and clear of the
unwanted hairs that hold perspiration

Everyday Psychology
Why Do You Sleep?
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRoWLs.

There must be some reason why
you spend one-third of your time in
sleep. The popular notion is that you
sleep because you are tired. The fact
is, you sleep in order to keep from
getting tired
If it were possible to get along with
out paying attention to your surround
ings, you might get along with much
less sleep. At any rate, your hard days
work is the one in which you are
using your head instead of your hands
In other words, paying attention
rather than using muscles. That's why
the usually hard-working countryman
becomes so tired just walking around
the city streets.
Your mind, Of course, never stops
working entirely. And here we have
the reason for dreaming In your
dreams your attention is scattered.
You readily jump from one idea to
another These flights of attention
dispense with logic altogether. insuring
continued sleep by the simple method
of paying no attention to what is 60
ing on.
So you sleep in order to keep from
paying attention. You quit paying
attention in order to keep from getting
tired.

OUR CHILDREN
Liking Himself.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

1lhlUS ulIuSclI'
IN lilly is handsome little fellow
- and an only child. He is healthy,
intelligent and ought to do well
IL in school. His reports show
very poor work.
Billy is bright enough, but he gets
in his own way. He is thinking SO
much about himself, how he looks, what
impression he is making, what effect
this or that will have on his appearance
before the class, that he never gets his
mind on his work. If he could forget
himself for a while he would do very
we'll"
Vanity in children is often the result
of unwise handling in infancy. The
child is admired by the whole family.
Every smile, every gesture, every word
and deed is hailed with applause.
What do you think Billy did today 2
He's the smartest thing ever" and
the childish action, perfectly natural
to his stage of growth, is set forth with
dramatic color Hearing himself praised
for nothing at all, finding that he Is
the center of the group without the
least effort on his part gives the child
a wrong notion which he carries into
life with disastrous results.
A child ought to have his share Of
attention and applause. He needs love
and sympathy, but above all he needs
understanding. Love that is wise will
never injure child. Emotion turned
loose will injure him seriously.
What is to be done with this child
He has to be trained now to look out
side of himself and see over the edge of
the wall he has built about himself.
But how? 1t is easier to say what
ought to be done than to do it.
If at all possible the child should be
removed from his present environment,
and that means school and home. You
see, the environment, the place, the
people, the habits of the home and the
school, have each had their share in
making this child what he is, vain
little creature. have seen a child
lapse into the old mood at the sound
of his grandmother's step on the thresh-
old.
To begin anew-and that is what has
to be done-a new set of associations
must be formed, and the easiest way to
form them is in new environment.
Take him away from home, out of the
present school, and start him again.
Teach him to keep busy Give him
easy things to do in the beginning, bubt
make certain he does them up to a
standard of good workmanship. With
hold all praise until it is honestly
earned. Place him with healthy, active
children who will not hesitate to ex-
press their opinions and whose opinions
he will soon learn to respect Healthy
association with other children is a
wonderful stimulus.
The best thing to do, Of course, is
to avoid spelling a child in the first
place, but not one of us is all wise.

busy trying to fill up one baby and keep

to teach them good manners. A bird
baby can hold more worms and insects
than it is possible to believe. Try and
get enough food for one baby bird and
you will have greater respect for the
little mother, who can go out and bring
in hundreds of insects, worms and
grubs for her children.
When the children reach the ripe age
of two weeks they demand to be taught
flying and grub markets. They get so
excited they have all sorts of thrills
The parents are most patient and seem
greatly relieved when the young are on
their own

T<HERE Is nothing at all compli-

meat or vegetables to be stewed or

ing or simmering as desired once it has
reached the boiling point. When using
large burners start with the burner on
high and turn down SO that no more
gas Is being burned than is necessary
to keep the water boiling.
When you have baking or roasting to
be done in the gas oven light the burn
erS eight or nine minutes ahead of time
in order to heat the oven. The burners
should be lighted five or six minutes
ahead of time for broiling in the under
part of the oven.
| When the oven Is lighted make use
of both the oven and broiling section
whenever possible. If you are making
cakes or pies or puddings in the top
section 1t is possible 20 cook meat in
the lower section-not only broiled meat,

ing her your errand is friendly and
that YOU are most desirous of picture
of her on her nest, you induce her to
pose for you in dignified manner.
If some act of yours disturbs her,
she calls to her mate in no uncertain
tones. "Pit. pit. pit" and he calls to
YOU in one Of the most f1ute-like voices
ever heard, Come to me, come to me-"
The song he offers is so enchanting
you forget all about his little mate and
try to get closer to the little reddish
brC wn singer.
As he is always near his little wife
aid ready to sing to you the sweetest OF
songs, you wait until the solo IS finished
in order that you may see him.
Friendly little fellows they are, with
tail and throat of olive brown and breast
of white with dark brown polka dots on
the vest. The slender beak is adapted
for routing the grub from his lair, and
slender legs are for running and hop
ping. The alert eyes, with whitish
band about them, search your face as If

bulky affair, established in a crotch OF

Rags, strings, feathers, old newspapers
and a snake skin make up the building

shack. but the inside is comfortable and
the babies are not aware of the exterior.
Sometimes there are four and, rarely,
five greenish- h-blue eggs, which are kept
warm for IL days before the little,
nervous wood thrush babies leave them.

children demand food. They are not
