Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON W. BURGESS.

growing children require lot Of food.
It seemed to Rattles that those ap-
petites never would be or could be
satisfied. BY the time the last of the
nine had been filled the first would
be crying for more. 1t was an end
less job. There was no time to rest.
Never in his life had he fished so
hard and continuously. And as the
days passed it became more and more
difficult TO catch minnows enough
and to find enough water bugs and
other things that young Kingflshers
like. Rattles did most of his fish
ing around the Smiling Pool. Mrs.
Rattles had a stretch of the Laugh
ing Brook for her fishing ground Oc-
casionally when the fishing was poor
they would go over to the Big River
and try their luck there.
I'M be glad when those youngsters
are big enough to fly and can come
over where we are fishing" Rattles
would say to himself. 1T will save
us a lot Of flying. Having to carry
all their food such a distance is
very tiresOme. Yes, sir, I'll be glad
when we can have them with US"
looking coats and what the neighbors
would say when they saw them. and
would be glad that the children we're
hidden, even if it did mean so much
flying to and fro. He just couldn't
get those queer feathers out of his
mind.
Then came a morning when Rat
ties had unusually poor luck He had
started out fishing at break of day
without first going for look at the
children, and it seemed to him that
all the minnows and other little
fishes had deserted the Smiling Pool.
Not one did he see. Finally he gave
up there and went down to the Big
River. For a long time he had no
better luck there. 1t was an hour or
two before he finally caught a young
chub and hastened home with it, He
was feeling disgruntled and very much
out OF sorts.
Such a surprise as awaited him
Those youngsters had changed their
coats. Anyway, they we're now dressed
as he thought young Kingfishers
should be dressed. Those feathers
were no longer tightly rolled They
were nat as feather should be, over
tapping and each in its proper place.
Only few here and there we're still
rolled. He hardly recognized those
nine youngsters.
What had happened? Why. you see,
feather growing out from the skin
is tightly rolled in a thin sheath.
which on most birds splits almost at
once, allowing the feather to open out
at once. But on KingfSher babies the
sheath does not split until the birds
are well grown. Then in few hours
time all split and the feathers open
out. This is what had happened in
the night and while Rattles was so
long gone fishing. So that worry
about those feathers had all been In
his mind.

Baby's Hunger
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

THE difference between hunger,
collie and temper is confusing
enough to any young mother. TEN
per" in a young baby may often only
indicate his complete wrath. because
he is being starved.
1t should be evident that II baby
is gaining enormously in weight he
may be having collie. If he has lots
of collie and gets lots of attention. he
may easily be spoiled and eventually
demand this maternal attention for
no particular reason. But if the baby
has never been spoiled one has to
hunt more energetically for the cause
of his crying rather than say for
lornly, Il don't want to spoil him"
and then endure his persistent spells
of crying. Mrs M. B. writes:
Il am a very inexperienced and
beWildered young mother. My baby
appears normal in every way. He
seems fat and healthy. For the past
two weeks he has spasmodically re-
fused to nurse, sometimes at only one
feeding period. sometimes for as long
as eight hours. I have been con-
scientious about not spelling him. He
takes such an interest in what is
going on around him and is so fond
of company that he often objects to
being left alone from in the after
noon until 9 at night. After that
hour he sleeps without trouble.
Sometimes he begins to cry half an
hour after he is fed, and If left alone,
by the time his next feeding arrives,
he is screaming with anger and sucking
his thumb, and apparently very hun
gry. When put to the breast he
stiffens out and howls. But he gurgles
and is good, if we carry him around
and talk to him.
He is nearly 3 months old and
still on the three-hour schedule. He
has not gained an ounce during the
last IL days and still weighs 13 pounds.
Do, please. tell me what will stop his
temper tantrums that keep him from
feeding Why does he cry so much
during the afternoon and early eve
ning?"
The answer to the last is probably
hunger. He should gain at least 5 to
6 ounces weekly. He should be salts
fed for at least four hours. were he
we'll fed. You may have my leafiet on
Formulas for Complementary Feed
ings" and Suggested Outlines for
Baby's Day. if you will send me
self-addreSsed, Scent stamped en-
velope with your request. At every
day would suggest that you give baby
a rundown with warm oil, or in Sum-
mer q cool sponge or just a massage.
Let him play on the bed naked for
a half hour before the final nursing
for the night. If he has complement
tary feelings at both 2 pm. and 8 pm.
and this recreation and wholesome at
tention, you'll probably find that he
will have no more temper"

WHY People Boast.

A SMALL boy, unable to swim,
jumped into deep water. A
timely rescue saved his life. He had
been telling his companions that he
was able to swim.
A psychopath once threw himself
beneath moving street car. He was
instantly killed This wasn't case
of suicide The man had for some
time declared his immunity to injury
and death.
Imagine something often enough
and you tend to believe it. Repeat it
often enough and the belief tends to
become flXed-tendS to take place
among your real experiences.
Now just why do people boast? For
the most part, they are attempting to
gain some sort of recognition. HUI
man nature strives to excel. That's
why you find more boasting among
the young. More foolhardiness among
the mentally maladjusted than among
the sane. More gambling among the
ne'er-do-wells than among the rich:
more talk about health among the
ailing than among the well; more
day-dreaming among adolescents than
among the aged; more modesty
among the truly successful than
among the average.
Who is it that match your story?
Those who have failed to make good.
Pathological liars are the oy-proo-
ucts of repeated attempts to be some
body. Their weakness is a dream-llfe
that seems to them to be equal to real
life, o.,
