The Exeter Times, 1919-6-19, Page 3HER UTTLE , COUCUED UNTIL E FY LY CHOKED. Mrs, John Reinhardt, R•idgotown, Ont,; mites:---" lily little girl at the age of a .oar and a half old had an awful cough. ;She would cough until she would fairly -choke, and 1 was afraid it would go to her lungs. 1 thought I would use Dr, Wood's Norway Pine Syrup, , as I knew of quite a few persons who bad used it with good results. I am glad I did so, as 1 only used one bottle. It is a sure cure for -coughs and colds." lea There is no reason why Dr. Wood's Norway Pi Pine Syrup should not be recog- nized as the very best cough and cold remedy on the market to -day, combining as it does the lung healing virtues of the Norway pine tree, to which are added wild cherry bark, squills, and other sooth- ing and healing pectoral remedies, It has stood the test for the past 30 years and is becoming more generally used r .every - Y ear an account of its {,teat merits incuring coughs, colds, bronchitis, croup, whooping cough, asthma, soro throat, and ,preventing pneumonia and in many cases •oonsutnption. So great has been its success that there have been a great xuauy imitations put on the market to take its place. See that none of these so-called "pine syrups" are handed out to you when you ask for "Dr. Wcod's." The genuine and original is put up in a yellow wrapper; three pine trees the trade mark; price 25e, and 50e. Manufactured only by The T. Milburn :Co., Limited, Toronto, Ont. Mending Bags. A quick and very easy way to mend bags, and one which the men can do as easily as the women, is as fol- lows: Turn the bag wrong side out, cut patches large enough to cover well the holes and weak spots. Make a medium thick paste of flour and water, spread on patch, and press with a hot iron. The patches will last as long as the bag and can be put on in less time than it takes to sew them, Trade groups of Canadian produc- eus to marshal our forces and to shape --dtlr ideas for going after a bigger share of the after -war trade: over- seas are being favored by the Cana- dian Trade Commission.

A few children learn readily from concentrate They teat books Tey can o e nc n their- attention and remember accur- ately without requiring to be. inter- ested by special methods. More chil- dren,however,need to have some- thing me- thing personaput into their lessons, something related to themselves and their homes, in order to fix their at- tention ttention and memory. To do this is not_ the same thing as making their tasks easy: they may have to work exceedingly hard over them, but they are glad to do so because the problem seems real and useful, and to concern not life in the moon, but their own experiences. Contrary to general belief, children can work very hard, and for long stretches of time, if their interest has been excited.' We have discovered that there are three different ways in which chil- dren remember things: Some remember by making..pic- tures of things in their minds and re- calling these pictures. When they try to spell, they see the words; when they do arithmetic, the figures. pile themselves into certain forms in front of their memories, suggesting the answer by the relation of .one number to another in this mental table. Likewise, geography and his- tory are recalled in the form of maps and pictures. These children should in school, but often amount to no- be shown things instead of merely thing in life. told about them.

The sound they are slow, by the use of games of the word is their guide in spelling it; and in the case of English, with its irregular pronounciation, this is not as accurate as the sight image. Arithmetic goes to a sort of tune, in which "seven and five make twelve/' "six times six are thirty-six," "eight from twelve leaves four," return like familiar airs.

Thus, if it is to be built of eighths, eight bricks must be Maid before the number two ap- pears above the number one. If it is built of sixteenths, sixteen bricks must intervene between each whole number. This game will help every child's memory. The visual -minded will learn the relation of numbers to one another by the manner in which the bricks and shingles increase and dim- inish; the youngsters of sound -mem- ory will hear the numbers humming• in singsong fashion as they build up the house; the motor -minded will have the satisfaction of drawing the bricks and writing in their numbers.

When the chicks are in the colony houses they are more protect- ed from storms and thieves of all kinds. On rainy days the colony house chicks have a warm glace to stay and there is plenty of chance to serve them with clean rations, both in hoppersand in the litter. When the days are rainy it is difficult to give chicks in brood coops good care, as the floors of the eoops become more or less muddy and there is no scratching place wherethe grain can be scattered. Keep plenty of fresh water before the growing stock at all times. Note the thirst of a house full of broilers after they have been denied water for a few hours.
