An egg-shaped alum- inum cover for the hands, with tapes that tie ,round the wrists, is sold for this. purpose. Two weeks is usually Iong enough to break the mosteestub- born case. With older children, however, some other method must be used, as they can remove the mittens. The using • of bad -tasting medicines seldom. helps, since the effect is soon gone, and it is doubtful if anything except an appeal to a child's sense of pride will have any effect. 13ribes are effectual at times, but are a bad thing to start with children. _ The best way to over- come any bad habit with children is to nip it in the bud and never let it take root. Given his own way, it is: quite likely that a child would choose candy as the principal part of his diet. And it must be confessed that many parents seem to be of the same mind. Such a con- dition is deplorable, because. sweets are hard on the teeth as well as the digestion and spoil the child's appe- tite for nourishing foods. Sweets should form a part of. his diet, of course, but a piece of candy or two given to a child after meals each day is much better for him than to buy him a sack and let him sit down and eat the contents in a half hour. His love of sweets may be satisfied also by giving him raisins, dates or figs when he -asks for candy. Dates are especially high in food value, and all three fruits may be given to chil- dren past three in moderate quanti- ties, It has been noticed that the child who eats plenty of fruits and vege- tables seldom has the doctor's ther- mometer in his mouth.—Veilna West Sykes. r•' MY MEAT CHOPPER—AN ECON- OMIC TREASURE.

Why hadn't he said straight cut, P ton's got a double, andyou can see what that means.” It was almost as if Crust did not like to commit himself to so definite a theory.

But he was no good now be had been promoted—that is to say, he was no good asasuperior officer to give ord- ers, ordes, He was 'a dreamer, a man of imagination, and, with all his talk of "ghosts" and "instincts," he was like a spiritualist, --ane of those fellowr, who try to mystify an audience.

But then again, no doubt Crust had merely wished to make eo impression. With so much talk of Murder and ghosts and hornets' nests, Crust had thought it desirable to back up his theories with what seemed like a solid fact. The pistol was in Mr. Kane's pocket and he had been told to keep it there. "Your suit -case has very likely been searched," Crust had said, "and they think you are unarmed. Let them think so.
