abnormal. You know yourself that if
the children are excessivelytired or
hungry, they are perfect demons com-
pared to what they are when com-
fortable. We may follow this up and
find that many times the • i
e .na tglaty
tricks of children can be traced to de-
fects in their care or well-bein ' which
can be easily remedied.
No normal child is naturally .cross,
in spite of those who insist that some
babies just naturally have three -
months . colic and are cross. He may
have it all right, but it is an un-
natural condition and the whole
household suffers. 'But the baby is
cress for a physical reason; , pare ,:and
simple, perhaps due to mistakes on
cur part and not because he was born
with a bad temper.
Older children are much the same
way. When Jimmie has a cross day
he probably ate too mach rieJ.,i 'pud-
ding the night before, or maybe His

EVER TRY BATH MITTS?
Make a pair of bath mitts from an
old bath towel and use for taking
your bath. Until you try it, you have

than punishment. He may have mere-
ly developed ugliness of temper, it is
true, but quite often there is:a: rea-
son even for that which, when made
clear, may surprise the parents.
There has been so much said in the
last few years about the effect of the
mental activities on the physical well-
being that we have overlooked to some
extent the physical discomforts on the
mental well-being. Many , a naughty
child needs the doctor or the dentist
and he gets.scolded instead. For that
natter, we grown-ups are not any too
easy to live ' with when we are not
feeling well, so why expect more of
the children? A simple physical ex-
amination may show that crossness is
not just due to old-fashioned original
sin.
IN MODERATE CIRCUMSTANCES
BUT HAS THEM ALL.
I db not like this spirit of antagon-
ism so often exhibited when the ques-
tion of household conveniences comes
up, so much stress being laid on the
inan's abundant supply of tools, etc.
I find very often the wife is slow to
put in improvements when she her-
self has the'money. A hearty co-
operation between husband and wife
is the better way. I have never yet
been obliged to ask for any kitchen
convenience. Our house is equipped
with:
1. Electricity. We have a power
washer, iron, and vacuum cleaner,
lights in all rooms, including closets
and dark corners.
2. ' Two electric water; systems, one
for hard water, and one for soft.
These systems have no storage tanks
(except the cistern for soft` water),
and were installed by my husband
himself, thus saving much expense;..
The hard water is piped to the kit-
chen sink and the bath room, besides
three out-dgor hydrants for sprinkl-
ing Tawas and cleaning porches and
windows, It is also piped to the hen
house and barn. The soft water, hot
and cold, is piped: to the bath room
and kitchen sink and the range re$-
ervoir.
3. A largekitohen cupboard, eight
feet long'and as high as -

This cupboard is made in two parts
with a space of eighteen inches be-
tween. The lower cupboard is ten
inches wider than the upper one, mak-

One of them—the Hermes—is the

Other of the these "mystery .ships"
