A thousand times no! Don't let your daughter irob you to pay a worthless man out of the scrapes he has got into deserves to suffer for his wrongdoing. and perhaps his punishment may teach him a much-needed lesson and make him behave himself. Don't believe your daughter when she tells you that if you will give her all that you have now she will take care of you in your oid age. She will do no such thing. After she has wrung the last cent out of you, she will throw you agide with no more compunction than she would an empty purse “T could have described Florida bet. ter in geography, but 1 didn’t know how to spell “peninsula” an’ just called it a isiand.” (Copyiight. 1026.)

They all talked at the same time. You see, they had ex- pected to find one of their neighbors over there with xomething interesting, for Mocker had called them in just the way that they call each other when they have found something of general interest. They had expected to find an Owl that they could tease. Not finding any one, they were much to her chum one day. “Because you're constantly looking for an Insult, and If you don't get one you imagine one,” her friend re- torted crisply.

While the others were talking Blacky went about, peer- ing In between the branches of all the trees right around there. He sus- pected some one was hiding. So it was that he discovered Mocker, the Mocklng Bird. Now Blacky didn't know that Mocker could talk crow talk, but he did know that Mocker could Imitate many other birds, and he suspected right away that Mocker had been playing a joke. “Caw, caw, caw!” screamed Blacky. “Here he is! Here he 18! Here is the one who has called us over here for nothing. Let's teach him a lesson. He has no business to be up here in the Winter, any way."” Instantly all the other crows came flocking over there. Poor Mocker! He wished he had kept his tongue still. Tndeed, he did! Those crows were 80 hig und there were so many of them that Mocker was frightened half to death. He took to his wings at once. Instantly all the crows, led by Blacky, were after him, all scream- ing at the top of thetr lungs. This was the kind of fun they liked. They really didn’t care particularly about catching Mocker. They liked the fun of the chase. They liked to be getting They l'ked to think how scared he was. And Mocker was scared. He never had been more scared in all his life. Where do you think he flew to? Why, he flew right straight over to the porch of Farmer Brown's house, He was sure that those crows wouldn't dare come there, and in this he was right.

The mother of a promising family —two boys and a child—had a hor- rible nightmare in which she came home from @& calling tour to find the house full of amoke and the younger of the boys unconscious. He man aged to get the boy out of the house. but she could find no one to help and the boy seemed feebly at long tracted mother to do. The other day a doctor published and distributed an article devoted to the menace of carbon monoxide, and in suggesting what to do in case of carbon monoxide poisoning he ad- vised “performing artificial respira- tion by lifting the arms above the head and down again, pressing gently on the chest as they are lowered.” Now that might have been a satis- factory ‘“‘performance” back in the nineteenth century, but it is shocking to find a health authority teaching any such obsolete and ineffectual prac- tice today.

Then, while you are at it, just try the Schafer or prone pressure method. which Is the best known method, and see how easfly a mere child can carry it on for an hour uninterruptedly if neces- sary. What, you don't know just how to apply this method of artificlal respira- tion? Well, that's & shame; your edu- cation has been sadly neglected. Get some Boy Scout, Girl Scout, fireman, policeman, medical student, beach life guard, first-ald expert, miner or doe- tor to show you, and do it now, so there will be no nightmare. How to Restore Breathing. One can learn to apply the prone pressure method of artificlal respira- tion only by actually practicing it upon a volunteer subject under the direction of &n Instructor. But here is Schafer's own description of the method: “It consists in laying the subject in the prone posture, preferably on the ground, with a thick folded garment underneath the chest and epigastrium. The operator puts himself athwart or at the side of the subject, facing his head, and places his hands on each side over the lower part of the back (lowest ribs). He then slowly throws the weight of his body forward to bear upon his own arms, and thus presses upon the thorax of the subject and foroes air out of the lungs. This being effected, he graduslly relaxes the pres. sure by bringing his own body up again to a more erect position, but without moving the hands.” (Copyright, 1926.) chopped parsiey.
