And when John left after luncheon her good-byes were so All at once she remembered on In- nouneement mat had stared her in the face from a page of a mugazine a day or so before-something to the elect that one's income could be sug- mented to a really wonderful extent with very little effort. #urriedly she gathered together all the latest mag:- zines, and searched till she found the desired information. There it was. You simply sent your name tind ud- (in-us to a certain firm of publishers, and you were immediately furnished with the right to obtain subscriptions for them for a popular magazine of, the day. On each subscription you re- ceived a stated amount. This com-' mission goon mounted to very real proportions, and there you were, with an independent income. Betty set right down and wrote to that illustri/ one firm. l Lrie-t', hy comparison, that he inquired, "What's on this afternoon, that you are in such a hurry to be rid af met" Next morning she hurried through her work, the sooner to plan her money-making campaign. It must be something that would not interfere with her home duties, for John must never suspect. Betty cut about her for some beautifully simple plan by which one earned twentr-di" dollars in an incredibly short space of time. How did one Co about it? l Had he ended his enquiries at trouble, omitting the reference to her hsbituni lack of funds and the addi- tional epithet of "baby," she would probably have poured out her tale of woe, securely enthroned upon his knee. Irutetui, she covered her mathe- maticl with both hands and answered, "Oh, no, dear; I'm not needing money. This is just some household fleurintr." Later in the evening John caught her. surreptitiously fhrttrintt on the margin of the newspaper. “Wham the trouble, baby?" he questioned.

First, plaee your medicine chest where you can reach it quiekly-and keep it locked, or. at least, place it beyond the reach of childish hands. If the contents of our medicine cup- board were checked up oeeasionally there would be less confusion in the household when accidents occur. I Every person requires enough sleep ’to keep the tein from becoming be- ifogged. The danger that may result iby a person who is half asleep and ', utterly weary, measuring and adminis- itering a medicine containing poison, q cannot be over-estimated. The gravest insults have followed such mistakes, lull because physical endurance wal ', overtaxed. In almost every home there) is a medicine chest. Just how carefuny or carelessly it is stocked never occurs to one until the moment of emergency comes. But let a nurse who is an absolute stranger come into a sick room and the patient obediently sits up and swallows medicines and eggnogs! The very gruel which was refused after a weary mother had climbed the stairs with it for the fortieth--or fiftieth --thne that day is cheerfully drained-- when the hand that holds it is tl stranger's. This is unfair all around and nurses realize exactly how the loss of sleep, aching feet and tired bank can undermine one's nervous system until the poor, over-wrought body is "too tired to sleep." But if one plans one's work, observes punctuality and insists gently but firmly, that the par tient observes punettuslity-in reeeiv-i, ing medicines and treatment--theret would be time for the home-nurse to: rest. She should understand how: simple it is to do one's work the easyj way and thereby obtain better and, greater results. I It is a well-known fact that patients who should know better, have a way of imposing upon mothers or others whom they love and who are trying to care for them. They refuse medicines and nourishment; they will not follow the doetorh, Instructions.

The woman who! it site up night after night with her patient is doing herself a'grave in-' justice. She is also being unfair to the patient. A nurse, however thor-l eh oughly trained, must have a regular' in amount of sleep, {ugh air and nourish-f ment.

These recipes are first class in every regard. One day while baking, my eye rest- ed on a row of small egg cups, attrac- tive with their simple gold stripe dec- oration. I had an inspiration! Every child loves tiny things, so, I thought, if I bake the custards in those wee egg cups, the little lads will' eat them with- out a question. And that is exactly what they did. I knew two children who had long been the despair of their 'mother be- cause they would not eat oatmeal. She coaxed and pleaded, but to no avail. Finally she stopped mentioning the cereal they so disliked. Then one morning at breakfast the children found around each of their plates three dainty new dishes-a deep cereal dish filled with steaming oatmeal, a tiny pitcher full of cream atui a small pret- ty sugar bowl containing edger. It was great fun for each to prepare his) own cereal from his own individual bowl and pitcher! They had not done this before. Neither child thought of expressing dislike. They ate with relish. Mother, wise as she was, ap- peared to take no notice. The next, morning she placed another food be- fore them and they set up a clamor; for their oatmeal set-they wanted oatmeal! ' F My oldest little lad decided that he did not like baked custard, and so. of course, baby brother refused to eat it. Let me speak of my own case. I do not like bread. Ass a child I did not care especially for it and at mealtimes I much preferred potato. From moth- er, father, brothers, aunts and cousins it was drilled into me-that I must eat it, that it was good for me, that it would make me ctrong. In the end I grew rebellious and did not eat " much bread as I formerly had eaten, and ever since I have had to force my- self to eat it. jn nine cases out of ten he will at the new food and like it. But with an older child such a practice is more ttttt to be harmful than helpful. - A In the case of the two-year-old bsby just learning to partake of solid food, this may be true.

Tack up, just inside the door of yortr medicine chest or cabinet or emer- gency cupboard, whatever you wish to call it, the name of the doctor or hospi- tal to which you turn in can of need and any telephono numbers that would be used in case of emergency.

A sliding or hinged pane should always be provided. Then, It the upper inside window be onened. the air must circulate between the two windows before entering the room and thus a direct draught is avoided. while the volume of new air is readily regulated to suit the coldness of the day and the strength and direction ot the wind.

In Canada. where we have a furnace in the cellar and cook by ass. we have, .while immensely improving the etBeiettcy ot our heating systems. not generally provided any means by Which ventilation is combined there. with.
