Our baby's favorite toy is a common ‘wooden potato masher inted in gay colors to represent a doll. The handle makes the head and waist and the large part is the skirt.

Borrgwing on Insurance. Any one who has paid three annual premiums on an insurance policy from the company has paid on that policy a sum equal to the “cash surrender value” of the policy. For instance, if you are 35 years of age and have an ordinary life policy for the amount of $10,000, on which you plf an annual premium of $270, your policy will have a cash value of nearly $400. You can borrow that amount. At the end of 10 years you can borrow nearly $1,500, at the end of 20 years more than $3,000. you can repay, with interest, just as you would any other kind of a loan. Any one who has ever tried it knows how easy it is to borrow money from his insurance company. No embarrass- ing questions are asked, the transaction is completed quickly and privately, and no one knows about the financial slough you find yourself in but the company SONNYSAYINGS BY FANNY ¥.

It is often said that an insurance policy is worth while for its loan value if for nothing else. 1 But it is generally conceded that| when a man borrows on his insurance policy he is simply borrowing from his widow and orphan, for seldom is the loan repaid, and in the event of the holder’s death the amount borrowed is | simply deducted from the face value of | the policy. If at the end of 20 years| the insured has borrowed more than $3,000 on his $10,000 policy, the heirs will receive less than $7,000. But we all know how difficult it is to when no one is pressing us for it. The man who has borrowed the equity in his policy is very likely to allow the insur- ance to lapse rather than pay the in- terest on the loan, and the dependents of the borrower frequently find them- selves left without any insurance pro- | tection whatever. Don't make the mistake of borrowing on your life insurance policy, except in great emergency, and then only in small sums which you have good reason to believe you will be able to repay eas- ily and within a specified time. Money 80 obtained should be returned with ex- treme conscientiousness as soon as pay- ment is possible. ‘The wife, or whoever the beneficiary is, should use her influence when a policy is taken out to see that it is drawn so that to make any change or to borrow money on it the written con- sent of the beneficlary is necessary. Such a plan, by making two people re- sponsible for any borrowing, instead of one, often prevents hasty action, and second thought may discover a better way out of the dilemma than borrowing on the insurance policy.

Never were houses 80 lovely. Never were they equipped with such comforts, such labor-saving devices. Never was so much beauty within the reach of homemakers. One can go through street after street of lovely homes set in gardens and shaded by beautiful trees. Flowers and birds and fountains make glad the eyes of the traveler. But how about the school? In one lovely old town I came upon & little building set upon a bleak hill, its bare windows staring, its cold lines frowning, its poor bare clapboards shrinking from the contemptuous gaze of the guunby. Not a blade of grass, althoug] not a flowering shrub, though the gar- dens were aglow with them; not a shade or a hint of drapery, though the win- dows all about were swathed in lovli- ness. ‘The children had worn & crooked narrow path to the dodr, but there were no defining stones, no helpful gravel to steady their slipping feet. Inside corresponded to outside. “This place has not been painted since the Civil ‘War,” said the weary teacher. “Those window shades have hung in tatters as long as I've known the school, and ‘The school building is the property of the district and nobody must lay hand upon it even to better it. I'm leaving at term end.” Six children huddled on three benches holding tattered books. That was the school. “You see the big tax- | payers have no children. They will not permit any money to be spent upon this little handful. Poor things. No, the nearest consolidated school is in the next State. We have none.” How can this be? How can Ameri- can ladies and gentlemen stand by and see such a building in their neighbor- hood? How can they permit children, any children, black, white or yellow, to grow up under such educational dis- advantages? It is not enough that you educate your own children. If you were selfish enough for that there is the law of life that insists that you and all who be- long to you are a part of all who are your neighbors, your ancestors and your posterity. What touches one must touch all and the best way to secure your own comfort and happiness is to aid others to secure theirs. That uncouth child down the street may marry into your family. That ig- norant one may hamper you in your business. The out-at-the-heel family lowers the value of your property. Self- ish motives would force you to lend a hand if all other notions were lacking.

MUELLER’S cooks up lighter and “fluffier” than any other, for it is made from a special blend of farina, according to exclusive processes. It is so easy to digest that even children just out of infancy thrive on it. Boil for 9 Minutes —and you will avoid overcooking, though one or two minutes more may be allowed if you want extra tenderness.
