We be- - Hove, however, that healthier, hap- pier babies ap-pierbabies can be fostered by helping themin this adaptation. We know that there are certain pre- parations which parents can make to • provide the best enviroument.possible under given circumstances even with limited income. In discussing this subject of how to provide e good en- vironment for babies, we have hi mind the rural )tome of moderate means. When a young married couple se- lect or build their home it is well to have in mind the children that may live in it. The site of the home should be onhigh ground where good drain- age is provided. There should be plenty of sunlight, with also some shade, and plenty of air space to pro- vide good ventilation. BABIES THRIVE IN SUNLIGHT., The ground should be dry enough to insure a dry cellar which should also be eextn. 'There should be near Id- hand a good source of uncontamin- ated water. No stagnant pools should be in the neighborhood. The plumb- ing should be in the best possible con- dition. Garbage, rubbish, barnyard and hu- man wastes should be so disposed of that there ie no chance for breeding of ffiee. The baby should be protected from disease -carrying insects by screening of the doors aid windows of the house in summer. Provision should be made far the best type of heating available. The house should be far enough away from the road to be fairly free from dust and noise. A porch so located as to be inaccessible to prevailing cold winds furnishes a good placelfor the bah a outdoor naps. Fs. Sleeping porches, so rapidly gain= Ing in popularity, provide excellent surroundings for Much a nap. They are.usually quieter and less frequent- ed by other children, Plenty of play space for the baby as ho grows older is always available on the farm and should be provided for in the village. The best room in the house is not too good for the baby. It should be a sunny room, prefer- ably with windows on two sides. Win- dows.to the south southeast or south- west are better for sunlight and warmth. tinder such conditions the baby's room may be sunny the greater part of the day and, like plants, ba- bies thrive in sunlight. Babies need to be quiet and un- disturbed. Especially in early infancy it ie well for the baby to have a room by himse:f if that is pessibie. At all events he should have a bed to him- self. Tho temperature of the room should at all times be even. This should be regulatednot by the sensi- bilities of Adults which are not to., trusted, but by a thermometer placed three or four feet from the floor. Dur- ing the daytime the temperature should be from 66 to 70 de. F. and during the night about 10 to 16 deg- -rees lower, Weil babies are easily' accustomed to a cool roonr at night, The heating of the room often pre- sents difficulties. A central heating plant in a house is usually most satis- factory, but even with a good heating apparatus there are often one or more rooms in the house not easily heated. „ Such a room should be avoided as the NO New TO FEAR NIGHT •AIR, Windows should be opened for yen- lar and long or short sleeves.

Do not be afraid of night •air. It le often purer than day air even though cooler, and does not harm the baby or anyone else. The baby shouldalways be protect- ed both day and night from a direct current of cold air. In addition to the cloth screen here described a standing screen about five feet high should be used between the window and the baby's bed. The baby must also be carefully watched to be sure that he Is always comfortably warm. The temperature of his hands and feet are good indications. Warm extra woolen covering should always be at hand for ready use. If the baby must share a room with adullts it is even more important to see that the ventilation at night is adequate. Where more than one per- son must breathe the air an extra quantity should•be available. Mothers sometimessay that they or the baby's father do not like to steep in cold air;' It is, of course, better for all adults as well as babies to •have fresh air to breathe at night; but' if those who share the baby's room cannot accus- tom themselves to this good habit the baby should be allowed to have a room by himself with the ample ventilation ho needs. There should be nothing in the baby's room that is not useful and that cannot be kept scrupulously clean. All furniture should be such as will bear washing or leaning with a wet cloth.

Control experiments, involving the treatment in three series of 5,000 early and late cabbages, with pyre- thrum powder and lead.. and calcium arsenate dusts and sprays, lead to the conviction that under local conditions dusting with lead arsenate and hy- drated or air -slaked dime in the. pro- portion of one part to fifteen parts is the most satisfactory form of treat- ment. The dusts were found more satisfactory than the sprays in that they can be moved and applied with the .aid of ordinary hand dusters, in one-fourth the time occupied in spray- ing. They spread and adhere well if applied when the leaves are wet with dew, whereas sprays to which soap has been added as a sticker have a low surface tension and much of the liquid is fiost in the soil, so says the Dept. of Horticulture, Q.A,C.

II, TIIE 8PIRIT, NOT THE name, Is TO BE 'MA CONTROLLING T'ACTO;i, 17-29, INTRonuawieN---St. Taal found the Gahitiafx churches assailed by fierce temptations, to which a passionate and excitable nature made them prone. One of these temptations was to intemperance, We should remember teat„wost of these converts had only recen_ily been won from 1xeathenism, i and 'had not the safeguards or the. self-control which centuries 'of fair. gious teaching have imparted to deter Christians, When Paul brought the Galatians to Christ„ they asked by what rule they were to live, Paul answered "137 the Holy.. Spirit' which Was ehed abroad in' your hearts." When they asked how they were to recognize and know the holy Spirit, Paul gave teem these answers; (1) the Holy Sprit is the spirit of love to one. another, (2) the Holy Spirit is opposed to the selfish and sensual appetites of the flesh. These prin- dpies, which have• a special bearing on Intemperance, are illustrated in our lesson for to -day, L CHRISTIAN CRAEOOM IS GOVERNED BY Love, 18-16. 's V, 11 St. Paul gave his converts no written law, but said that they were to live by the Spirit. This meant free- dom from outward law, for the Spirit is an inward principle. At the same time St. Paul points out that the spirit is the highest and holiest of all principles. So far from Christian freedom meaning that the Christian is able to do what he likes, it means the constant obligation to live for the highest things, and always to act in love. The man who has the Spirit of Christ, therefore, will not give way to selfish indulgences. As the apostle puts it: "You, brethren, are called for freedom; only do not make your free- dom an occasion for sensual (er in temperate)' living„ but through love seek to serve ono another." V. 14. If a man has love—the love which the Spirit of God sheds abroad in Christian hearts—he has grasped the. whole principle of obedience. "The whole law is fulfilled in one word, namely: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." St. Paul is here repeat- ing the teaching of our Lord himself. Compare Matte 5142-48 and 7;12.. V. 16. On the other hand, if men give way to selfish and unbrotherly passions, wounding and undoing one another by spiteful words and deeds, they fail away from the Christian way of life, and need not wonder if such conduct leads ultimately to their own destruction, V. l6. The Christian principle is: "Walk (that is, order your lives) by the Spirit," that is, by the new, loving instincts and influences which Jesus Christ creates in his followers' hearts. So doing, Christians will not obey "the lust of the flesh"; they will defeat and overcome their lower nature. II. THE SPIRIT, NOT THE FLESH, Is 7'O BE . THE CONTROLLING. FACTOR, 17-24. V. 17. Every man has two natures in him, a lower and a higher. The lower is what we call "the flesh." Itis made up of selfish and animal apple tites, which crave to be indulged. It is this nature which tempts so many persons to a drunkard's life and grave. On the other hand, man has a higher nature in him which is akin to the Spirit of God himself. The Spirit of God seeks to reach and inspire this nature with new energy and power. By living for this higher nature men become saints and followers of Christ. Every disciple, therefore, has to; "cjeny"or disown the, lower nature, that with his higher nature he may give himself to Christ. 1, " V, 18. Pani points out that if Chris- tians thus live by the Spirit, they do, not need .written laws, because they!, have a divine motive of life• within' PICNICS FOR MOTHER 3Y ALICE MAR GAR'E'i ASHTQN, More and' more are Cnnadiens— 1 bone preperationa ter the fe particularly country dveellera—turnand easy, ing to the lami:y picnic a la :automo bile ns a summer pastime, Are these picnics a joy or are they an added burden to the already busy. country mether?
