A much better plan is to apply an ounce of prevention dur- ing girlhoed so that the neck will st young. It is never too early to begin culti- vating a graceful neck. Correct poise of the Iead is the first essential. and the sooner it is learned the better. A wise mother will begin to teach her little girls to hold their heads up as soon as they enter school; for it is at school that many children acquire the habit of bending over their work, let- ting their heads sag forward. During the teen age, this postural defect very common, especially among girls who are tall and thin for their age An easy way to develop the proper poise of the head is the good old- fashioned one of walking with a book balanced on the crown. Walk around | the room and also up and down stairs. When this exercise becomes easy, sub- | stitute an orange for the book, and do | some slow heel-raising, knee-bending and kicking exercises without letting the orange roll off. By following this simple method one may acquire a firm, r will not become vears. Since we spend one-third of our lives in bed, the correct posture of the neck during sleep is also important. Sleeping with a small pillow or no pil- low at all will discourage double chins and throat wrinkles. A third point in the care of the neck is daily message with a skin food. The habit of giving the neck this treatment should be begun in the teens. Cleanse the skin first with plenty of warm water and soap, using a bath brush to stimulate the skin. Rinse, dry and then spend five minutes patting the cream on.

The collar in the skctch is made from net, edged with fine valenciennes of Irish point lace. The measurements are as follows: AB, 15 inches. BC, 15 inches. EB and EA, inch- seven snd one-half . five inches. CD, four inches. DG, one inch. Connect the peints as indicated with stra’ght or curved lines.

She managed to get a good salary for two years. until finally Mr. JefTrey got tired and she lost her job. She had one quality that attracted . Jeffrey so strongly that he over looked everything else. She had a most beautiful speaking voice. It was a soft voice; it had an appealing and ca- ressing quality. If you could have listencd to her voice without having her do any work it would have been perfect. She might have made a good telephone operator, only she could not remember _anything long enough. I don't know what became of her. I hope she works on the radio. If she wouldn't have to remember anything and nobody would have to look at her, I am sure she might get along. This is a true story, but it has a moral. If youre nice looking. a lovely voice will make you irresistible. If ou're not nice looking, a beautiful ige will make people forget how you loo!

Flies will bite and children will scrateh. Of course we say, “Don't scratch,” and, of course, they do. Nothing is so irritating to the bitten one as to be ordered to stop that scratching. He is very likely to think, or to say, that if you had the bite, and he wishes heartily that you had, you'd scratch, too. When a child gets a bite that calls for scraf ing tak» som~thing cooling, witch hazel, lemon juice, creams and lotions, those nice milky ones, pat the sore spot and say something about the boy next door, the ice man, or the cir- cus thats coming. Don't mention the ite. The lotion is not to heal the bit. It won't. It will relieve the child’s mind. He thinks something has been done to comfort has been satisfied. Just as soon his mind takes hold of that idea give it the next—something far away from the bite, of strong interest. Talk blithely for a moment or two, then send the child to do something It is fatal to let him sit down and scratch. ‘Take his mind off his trou- bles and h2 will let the bit> alone and it will be gone by the time he remen- bers it again. Concentrating one’s mind on a bite will make that bite live. If you do not believe that you can try it out any- time. You can give that bite a vicious life, prolonged indefinitely, or you can cut its career short,"as you please. I know that bites hurt. I've had my share of tLem and I did my share of the In s°lf-de fens= I learned to ignore them and no they do not. trouble me at all. You can train children to make much or little ‘of their simpler ills as you view them in alarm or in the natural course of_events. That does not mean that a child is to be exposed to bites. The less time he has to spend on them the better. All windows and doors must be screened Children should be guarded against stings and bites and rashes. Nettles ought to be burned up and poison ivy destroved. It is hard to forget a dose of poison ivy. It is best done with the aid of a cake of brown soap and some hot water. But fly bites and the like are easy once you get into practice. It is fatal to tell a child to keep away from a bee's nest. It has a cer- tain sure fascination for him and he will go back until he is stung. The best thing to do is to remove the nest The man of the house will know how to do that, but failing him, try the coun- try-bred neighbor. 1t sems impossible to avoid there an- noyances. The best we can do is to es- tablish a mental attitude toward them that will render then as harmless and as painless as possible. Comfort the child with as little show of fear, of ex- citement, anxiety, as possible. Then direct his attention away from himself nd toward some happy activity. That will be a speedier remedy than “Stop that scratching.” can ever be. (Copyright. 1971 ) Summertime BY D. C. PEATTIE.

GUNN, “Four Wise Things.” “There be four things which are | little upon the earth, but they are ex- ceeding wise."—Prov. XXX.24, The four verses following tell us what these four wise little things are, and indicate the lessons they teach. “The ants are a people not strong, vet they prepare their meat in the Summer.” "~ This is prudence, thrift, making hay while the sun shines, lay- ing by something in store for the rainy day, “using life's Summer season to make provision for its Winter season. Many people are sadly lacking in such wise foresight; they do not display as much sense as the ants do. “The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks.” This is wise building, laying life’s foundations on the rock of eternal truth; like the wise man of whom Jesus spoke, “which built his house upon a rock: ‘and the rains descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew; and beat upon that house; and it fell nof for it was founded upon a rock” Ur less built upon the rock of truth, your house of life cannot stand. “The locusts have no king, vet they g0 forth all of them by bands.” This is teamwork. There are some who are good workers, but who have never learned how to work together with any- body else. They are like a certain col- lege athiete who, though a brilliant player, was dropped from his foot ball team because he was not a team player, Many are dropped from the game of life, not from lack of ability, but be- cause they lack adaptability for team- work. We would all get along better, and accomplish more, if we had more | co-operative sense, such as the locusts | have. “The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in king's palaces.” This | is perseverance, clinging on and win- | ning a place in the kingdom of the suc- | cessful. A spider climbing the twelfth | time on the beam of a roof, and falling | each time, but succeeding when it climbed the thirteenth time, gave Rob- ert Bruce, who had also failed 12 times, courage to make the thirteenth endeavor in which he met and de- feated King Edwards and was crowned king. The man who has the grit and courage to hold on and keep on, in spite of every difficulty, in spite of every backset, will sooner or later win nis | way into the king’s palace and wear the | ted crown of success. | He that hath an ear to hear, let him hear,” and take heed to the les- sons taught by these “Four Wise Little Things.” Cantaloupe Cocktail.

This was to get the | children out of sight before they were | seen. As soon as the mothers were sure that the stranger was harmless the children were allowed to resumes their play. So the days passed and the kids ran races across the prairie and grew ever swifter of foot and stronger | of lung and better prepared to run tor\ their lives should there be need.

The kids were gamboling and playing as usual. When they were as near as they were likely to come Speedfoof dished straight for the band. with Speedfoot at his heels. The very thing happened that Speedfoot had counted on. There was a frightened scattering in all directions. One kid, who was separated from his mother and sister and did not see which way they ran, started off in blind terror straight away from the others. The two Coyotes made straight for him.

Household Methods BY BETSY CALLISTER- One of our readers says ths cellar of her house is damp and wants to know what to do about it. I have no creens in the cellar,” she savs. “so I can't keep the cellar doors and win- dows open much.” Flies love cellars. and of course if they got in the cellar, they are quite likely to get all through the house. If cellar windows and doors are not screened, they may be protected with mosquito netting. One window at least on each side of the cellar should be protected. Screens may be too great an expense, but pieces of s-reening may be bought cut to the siz¢ of the window, and they may be tevked in place outside to the window freme. Or mosquito_netting may be tacked over them.
