Put Children to Bed

Children never admit they are
tired as long as there is some excit-

sary for adults to watch for the first
signs Of fatigue and quietly and

youngsters. Parents who are con-
cerned with the welfare of their chill
dren know that sufficient hours Of
sleep on level, firm sleeping equip
ment are of vital importance to nor

Charcoal for Masks

Powdered charcoal made from
coconut shells is used in gas masks
because it absorbs great quantities
Of the gas. World Book encyclo-
pedia points out the difference be-
tween absorption and absorption. A
sponge absorbs water because the
water soaks into it. Charcoal ad-
serbs poison gas because the gas
sticks to the surface but does not
sink in.
