I've taken care of him, also my chil- dren, and it keeps me going from morning to night. My problem is his mother, "She stays with us occasional-"' ly. Then she visits his brothers and sisters -- and tells untruths about me, charging me with things I never said . . . I'like all his family; they have done so much to help out, and are so kind and thoughtful, I'm afraid they will take their mother's word be- fore. mine. What am 1 to do?

You'd be surprised how often a lemon is the answer to little problems - that crop up in and _-around the home -- quite apart from all the times you add it to a recipe, sprinkle it over a piece of fish, or use it as a rinse after a shampoo. Did you know that after a busy afternoon's shopping there's no more soothing balm. for aching feet than bathing them in tepid water with a tablespoon of lem- or juice and a little alcohol? If corns are the trouble a lemon will do the trick agiin., Tie a small piece. of the fruit on the corn: for five nights. Then soak --the-foot-in warm--water--amd the ,corn can be easily removed.

Mixed flocks are seen on brushy hillsides and in river bot- toms and working on the weed heads of old pastures and fence rows. At the feeding station they are less skittish than the juncos, almost as tame at times as the chickadees. They are always welcome, doubly so in February when they. begin to sing on a fine day.
