paper is put in.
Newspaper and magazine racks can
prove ornamental as well as useful, but
only decorative when the contents are
in neat piles. The whole appearance Is
spoiled if newspapers are carelessly
thrust onto shelves or into the pockets
so that ends protrude in uneven lines.
A magazine rack with several shelves
provides a place for many different pub
locations each having its own shell. II
Is wise to leave the top of the table rack
bare, for the use of whoever may con-
suit the files below.
A book trough can be used for maga-
zines of the smaller size as well as VOL
unes as they are compact enough to be
stacked like books. Large periodicals
require fiat surfaces as found in racks
with shelves or the portfolio type of
rack between the sides of which the
magazines are held upright in much the
same manner as newspapers.
Those who have neither wall pockets
nor magazine stands for their period
icals and papers, should have some
closet shelf on which to stack recent
ones which may be wanted. But cur
rent magazines and the days paper
should be In evidence until the new ones
come out.
There Is something attractive in the
very look Of recent publications which
imparts a certain decorative element
and cozy atmosphere to rooms, which
stripped of this reading matter, would
seem far less inviting and pleasant.

Winter and look most forlorn. They
are soon joined by dapper looking males
which have just emerged. The mothers
are seeking the plants on which to lay
their eggs. After this rite has been
performed they will pass to their re-
ward. The males grow larger and
more handsome daily and by the latter
part of June many painted ladies will
be seen. OF course the gentlemen are
called ladies'" too.
When the babies appear, they are as
black as midnight, with yellow stripes
on their sides and wee warts decorated
with golden hairs. They attack the food
supply which is ready for them and
outgrow clothes rapidly. The tubercles
are like glowing jewels Of rubies, pearls
and garnetS fastened on a ribbon OF
gold against the black velvet OF the
body.
1t is soon time for the youngsters
to prepare their cocoon in order that
they may rest and transform into the
gay butterfly. They weave exquisite,
light brownish violet garments, with
glints of gold here and there, and
fasten them to the under surface q the

In Florida they are to be found the

they are we'll known in nearly every
warm country. They love the sea, and
may be seen along the shores and near
the bogs and bays. OF course. they are
familiar sights along the roadsides ana
in the woods.
Great numbers of them have been
seen migrating in swarms, in groups OF
hundreds, and from four to six hundred
miles from land. The bright butterflies.
which are seen early in June, are, most
likely, the first children of the mother
who has hibernated through the long

two on exercise, greatly prolongtng
the life Of the diabetic.
Unfortunately, the diabetic patient is
still compelled to inject the insulin he
requires. Insulin by the mouth has
practically no effect. Most Of these
patients learn to use the hypodermic
needle properly and have no trouble
from its use. 1t is now possible Tor
those unable to pay for insulin to re-
ceive it free from the province. State
or city, so that no diabetic patient need
die from lack Of it.
1t is the starchy food-potatoes, bread
and sugar-that must be eaten in small
quantities by the diabetic, and as Prof.
TIMBER points out, this makes the in
creased need or use of vegetables, fat
and meat somewhat expensive.
The point to remember, then, is that
there are more diabetes because lives
have been prolonged and there are
naturally more deaths because of this
Increased number of cases The num-
Der of cases has increased about 1our-
fold over the records Of Is years ago,
and before the discovery of insulin.
Deaths from diabetes can be prevented
if treatment is begun within a reason
able time, and the patient carries out
the treatment as to diet and the use
of insulin after he no longer visits his
physician.
DR.. Leonard F. C. Wendt and Frank
lin B. Peck, in a series of 1,073 cases,
found insulin necessary for about one
third, had to be used temporarily for
another third, while the remainder get
along without it.

which water stimulates.
If you find that you have acquired a
condition of hyperacidity, consult a
physician at once. 1t may be caused
by some organic disorder, such as a
gall bladder disease or stomach ulcer.
Do not attempt to dose yourself. be-
cause sometimes the symptoms caused
by too little acid are much like those
of too much acid, and also because 1t
is important to have an early diagnosis
of the disease. A typical diet which is
prescribed for hyperacidity Is:
Breakfast-Cream of wheat with
cream, toast and butter, weak coffee
with hot milk or coffee substitute.
Midmorning lunch-Milk with crack
ers.
Luncheon-Cream Of corn soup, crack
ers. roast chickekn or fish. mashed po-
tato, baked squash, bread and butter
pear sauce or Tokay grapes.
Midafternoon lunch-Milk and crack
ers.
Supper - Soft boiled egg., spinach

Your Baby and Mine
Favored Milk.
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

THE use Of various havorings in
milk to inspire the children to
drink a suitable amount is a
i perfectly legitimate weapon.
Milk favored with a rubber
nipple is quite different from milk out
Of cup, and pasteurized, boiled, evapo-
rated or dried milks have individual
f1avors which may or may not appeal
to the child. To make the flavor ap-
pealing should be our objective.
Neither cocoa nor chocolate Is ad-
visable for the child under 2 years of
age. After that age a moderate fla
tionable. But it is the milk that is
important, and either cocoa or choco-
late should be used in small amounts.
Several times mothers have written
me urging that I publish a recipe for
a chocolate favored milk. The follow
ing one is submitted by reader. Mrs
H. contributes:
80 many readers have trouble in
getting their children to drink suffl-
cient milk that I am hoping others will
be helped by my solution.
II have two girls, 2la and 81 years
old They refused milk absolutely as
soon as the hot weather arrived. I
could not afford the advertised choco-
late or cocoa products. and SO I made
my own cocoa sirup. Here is the recipe:
Stir together one cup Of cold water
and one-half cup Of cocoa, then cook
over direct heat until smooth. Add
two cups of sugar and a dash of salt
and boil three minutes. Flavor with
vanilla. Pour into sterile glass jar
and keep tightly covered in the ice box.
I'm making the chocolate milk use
one tablespoonful to a glass of milk
When I make the drink put two
cups Of milk and two tableSpoonfulS Of
the sirup into a glass jar. screw on the
lid and the children shake 1t hard.
They call this cocoa and Just love it.
have no trouble at all getting them
to drink this milk"
1t is better not to depend entirely
upon a drink Of this type for all of
the four cups of milk daily. This
might be reserved for the afternoon
glass of milk. and my leaflet, "Increas-
ing the Child's Consumption of Milk"
suggests ways in which the three other
cups may be insinuated into the diet.
Any reader may obtain the leaflet by
sending self addressed, stamped en-
velope with each request. Mothers who
are interested in the recipe printed here
should cut it out and save it. 1t is
not included in any Of my leaflets.

3 ladies came to play bridge with
ma this afternoon, all being pritty fat.
and ma sent me around to Sniders for
quart of ice cream, saying, Now re-

any till the ladies have finished, they're
all dieting, as 1t happens. so I'm sure
they wonteat very much because
there's nothing that has so many fat

And our cook Nora umpdumped the

at it unbelievingly. How could he be-

looked down in the water and saw

even as he watched one of them seized
tiny fish and began to eat it.
"I don't believe it, said Peter. 'How
can any one who has always lived in
the water suddenly take to living in
the air?"
Don't ask me-" replied Spotty. "You
saw it. Can't you believe what you
see? If you'll wait while and be
patient and keep your eyes on that fel-
low who has just crawled out Of the
water you will see 1t again. I've seen
it a thousand times"
Peter waited. Nothing short OF a
fright could have driven him away. He
was too interested 10 think Of any
thing else And presently he was re-
warded Out of that ugly thing came
another beautiful Dragon Fly, which,
after while, darted away Just as the
first one had Peter drew a long

'It seems to me that only short

Everyday Psychology
By DIR. JESSE W. sPROWLs.
Mental Exercise.

Mental Exercise.
According to the brain experts, your
brain Is a good deal like putty until
your twentieth year. After that it be-
gins to stiffen-very gradually. BY the
time you are so your brain cells seem
to harden. And they "stay put"
Assuming that this is the case, it is
possible to offer an explanation for the
general conservatism in ideas which
heset the man or woman Of middle age
and upward.
Assuming the same, 1t is possible to
account for the vast mental differences
which occur in older people. Some
seem never to lose their interest in
learning-a very few, of course. Most
persons past so look too seriously to
their latter days. From all accounts.
it appears that the persons who do
hard mental work until they are 80
are the ones who retain their original
mental Elasticity. They learn to drive
automobiles at rs, still read novels and
even become great statesmen.
There Is in all this an educational
principle which all parents should
ponder well Send your sons and
daughters to a school where the masters
make them work hard. There Is such
a thing as mental exercise.

Answer: You can buy tickets for

"Gillie," but the story Is in

I'm 1880, when rain and water were
scarce, a pair of cardinals built their
nest almost against our cottage at the
beach. They raised four little ones,
three of which they took away in
due time; but one Of them they left
behind.
I'VE were about to go away from the
cottage, and I did not want to leave
the little bird there alone. So I put 1t
in box and took it 100 miles by auto
to our home In the country.
"I fed the bird bread and milk for
a long time, and called 1t Bill. Bill
would eat from my hands, and sang
lovely songs. A year later we moved to
an apartment in the city and had to
let Bill 60. I surely felt badly"
This readers desire to protect the
little bird was kind; but should rather
have had the story end after month
