drink milk and to his "cheosiness"
other food matters. But to get 13obb
to drink the milk peaceably may re
quire added knowledge.
• It is much to the credit of a certain
Bobby's mother that she recognize
quickly her first serious mistake in
bringing up Bobby—that of becomio
involved in an uproarrous scene with
him, the first time he refused to drink
his milk. There had been no question
about Bobby's drinking it until on
—day, for some unexplained reason, he
flatly refused it. Mother insisted
• without effect; then she offered bribes
and finally resorted to threats. Bob-
' by's stubborn rejecting- of the offered
milk turned into vehement refusal
Mother's averurging brought on a
scene which was SO upsetting that the
sight of milk thereafter was sure to
bring on a most unpleasant response
, in both or them.
The result of the scene had even
, deeper significance. As soon as Bobby
got his way in the milk row, he began
to exercise his right to decide for him
self how he would behave away from
the table.
Mother knew it was high time for
her to take Bobby in hand in order to
straighten out his food habits for the
sake of his health and to improve his
behavior habits fey the sake of his
character. She felt that she must
begin with milk, not so much because
it was there that she first event wrong
as because of the importance of milk
in the growing child's diet.

Then for the final stroke. Mother
took some cool and refreshing milk
from the ice box and poured it into
glasses shaped like ice cream soda
glasses. Into these glasses she stuck
some soda -fountain straws. Onto the
tea-party table went the big surprise,
- and into the house went the wise
mother.
Bobby and Betty Arm had a great
time. Nothing had ever been quite
like this. Perhaps Bobby was glad to

new and better kind of psychology was

as sudden as the automobile collision

ing to drive. But her response was as
quick and as well measured in handl-

—for they they were making preparations
for a wedding. One of Effie's sisters
was soon to be married, and, of course,
there was a great -deal to be done.
„Effie thought how nice it would be
if she could help xnake the cakes and

country wedding and Much of the "re-

So Effie event first to one and then
to another, begging that she might

"No, child, no; what do you know

Another &aid:
"Oh, rayl now achoors out, we shall
have no more peace. Children are al-

After Effie had been rebuffed in all

So she persevered with her quiet

One of the cousins, who had been

noticed how indus-
triously and -steady she seemed at her
work in the corner, and after awhile
brought over. a 'beautiful iced queen

But that, nice thought it was, gave
her not half the pleasure she felt
'when, towards the close of theafter-

This day's ,eperience was useful to
Effie. She had borne patiently the
disappointment of not being slowed
to help in the way she would have
preferred, but in the perforniatice of
it nearer duty she had' proved herself
really a valuable assistant; and in
after years she learned to know and
'value, under all circumstances, the
Wise and practical suggestion, "Per-
form the duty that is nearest thee."

of the .ernotional. upset which she had
altowed to become associated with milk
in Bobby's experience.
Thinking of -deficiency diseases re-
minded Bobby's mother of those ;white
rats whose pictures she had seen when
the home -economics teacher lectured.
If Bobby could only see the poorly
developed, scrawny little rats that
were not given milk, and their plump,
healthy brothers and sisters who had
had milk since they were born, he
might learn a good lesson.
The differences between 'these two
groups of rats must have been the re-
sult ot their. diet, because they had
the same parents an e sante
chances in every way other than food.
The teacher Who lectured said that
a person could learn even. more about
the value of milk by noting the con-
dition of the rats' hair, eyes and ears.
The underdeveloped group had strag-
gly hair, weak eyes and infected ears,
because they 'hid not had milk of
enough of fresh fruits and vegetables
to furnish a certain vitamin.
Mother decided to tell Bobby about
the rats. She was careful to mention
milk only along with a number of
other foods so it would not be the out-
standing point in her story. She was
also too smart to put the moral -of -
this -story idea in the foreground to
spoil Bobby's interest in the plight of
the poorly nourished rats. Bobby's
interest was keen; boys are always
keen for a story about live things. His
mother promised to send to the state
university for some pictures like those
she had seen. She hoped that the
family could drive over to the univer-
sity sometime later so that she and
Bobby could see the real rats.

In the meantime there had been no
discussion of milk or of the other food
antipathies Bobby had developed.
Mother had changed her tactics com-
pletely. It was impossible now for
Bobby to pick a fuss with her because
of his food habits. She was biding
her tirne. One day without any talk

Mice -Proof Seed.
When a garden is liable to be infest-
ed with males or mice certain seeds
ahould be treated previous to planting.
Moles have a great liking for newly
planted peas. If the peas are stirred
with a stick dipped in kerosene just
before they are planted the moles will
not bother them.
Mice are very fond of muskmelon
seeds. A few drops of turpentine
sprinkled over the seeds will keep the
mice away. It is contended that make
are not vegetarians and that they
never eat seeds; but it is always diffi-
cult t,o make a practical gardener be-
lieve this. Particularly when he has
succeeded in killing thee pests by the
use• of rolled oat% which haere been
poisoned by the addition of a little
strychnine.
