. children tell what is not tune.
Then of course when a child finds
that his father or mother tell what
is not true it is not to ba wondered
at that the boy or girl thinks it quite
right to do the same thing.
Then too, chil.Iren are frightened
into malting untrue statements.
There comes to mind an 'instance of
my cltildhccol. I was sent on a mes-
sage to a hoose a few doors down
the 'street. I can still visualize that
room. The table was partly set for
the evening meal. The wood stove of
the day was •buzniag merrily. The
Mother was ,pre- a.ing the evening

had done something which displeased'
the Mother and I was informed that
he was to sit there until his father
came home' when he would receive a
'tinesaing and a good thr: skiing it
would be. I have . never forgotten
sorry orry I felt for that little boy.
There was such a tragic look on his
face, Was it any wonder that Iad
grew up to tell one lie after another
and was continually into trouble.

What is a lie? -The Oxford I3ie-
tionary tells us It -is -"an Intentional
false statement'. If a.:child came to
us and asked us what is a lie?, 1n
-teary plain words viihat would we tell
him. We could rightly say "A lie is
making a statement which is not
true." Then what is truth? It is a
statement which will stand the
r searching of God's word. Therefore
a lie is some collection of words
whiieh will go to pieces when measur-
• ed by the word of God. It is below
-the standard of what Christ taught
" when on earth.
Is there anything worse than a
person, boy or girl, a man or a
woman who tells lies?
We may safely say that lying is
at the back of all that is wrong. We,
•• could go through. our penitentiaries
and if given permis ion, alk each
one of the inmates what they rem -1

the years they wilt pass many things
which they have done wrong until•at

Children are being brought up,
We at times hear parents say "Oh, I
well, every child passes through the Ii
stage of lying." Should we make the l
statement that we have never told a
lie. We might say that, 'but it would
probably be the biggest lie the devil
has ever prompted us to tell, for wet
can everyone of us look back and
find something we have said which
was not true.
Very often we hear, of children
who in their tezi er years will lie.
To whom can we attach the blame
for that? In the majority of cases
the rarents are to fault. Almost un-
consciously parents themselves will
in front of their children tell things,
which are anything but the truth.

es, perhaps a flower or gay cloth
I—anything to perk up the patient.
TAKE A TIP
1. Cook foods for invalids in small
quantities and according to the hour
of feeding. The most palatable food
may bespoiled by allowing it to
stand after being prepared.
2, Cover tray with a clean servi-
ette or tray cloth. Avoid serving
too many things or too Large por-
tions. When the nature of the dish
perlits it, add a piece of red cherry,
or a small sprig of parsley.
8. If possible, taste all foods and
drinks before serving, for -seasoning
and temperature. Always use' a
separate spoon for tasting.
4.` When liquid : foods are to be
given, other receptacles should be
used than those used for medieine
or the association of ideas may be
strong enough to destroy what little
appetite the patient has. Fill cups
apd glasses to within one inch of
Ole top—not full.
5. Cover all foods and drinks left
standing he the sickroom. The tray
and all .traces of the meal should
be removed immediately after eat-
ing. Care should be taken, however,
not to hurry the patient through a
meal.
G. The diet of a patient should be
under the supervision, of a doctor
and his directions followed impllc-
•
itly.
7. Store the food supplies in cov-
ered containers in a cool .place,
1 preferably the refrigerator. The
refrigerator or supboarcl should be
;kept scrupulously' clean.
8, All dishes or utensils used in
the sickroom :should be washed in a
separate bowl in hot, Soapy water
!• and scalded with boiling water. In
(case of infectious` diseases, dishes
should be boiled in two quarts of
baking soda for one-half hour.

BEING SPECIFIC
Little Joan was paying her first
visit to her unmarried aunt, who
had strong views on how small
girls should behave. As, a result,
Joan was far from happy.
"Well, my dear,” said auntie,
"you look so sad, you must be home-
sick.tZ '
"No, I'm not," said Joan frankly,
"I'm here sick.'

BACKYARD VACATION
78
Let snapshots tell the story of
MIME was when vacation meant a
1 trip to the mountains or the sea-
shore or conte such place — far
enough away from home so that it
meant plenty of travel by train or
ehtp or automobile—but not this
year. For most folks this year, vaca-
tion will mean delving into the mys-
teriea of their own :back yards. And
if you are once more in the throes
of a Victory garden—as who isn't-
that delving wtll. be done quite lit-
erally, with spade or hoe or fork.
And, or course,, the camera. True,
your camera . wont dfg out* any
weeds or annihilate any of the
numerous pests shunt which the gar-
den guides warn --best it win, if you
let it, keep a faltltttd account of
your vacation from star=t to finish.
And that's fniport'atit. Not only to
you, but to the men and womenin
the 'Service who are interested • in
what you at home are doing—
whether at work or play—and, above
all, in how you leek. They want—
and need—:•pictpres
antand.need-pictures from home-ptc-
tui•ca that show the home folks busy
about their workaday .affairs, When
it's vacation tinie at your house,
they want td know about that, too.
So,let your camera do its cart, like
t e titin little record it is. Get

weeds among the tomato vines, or
gathering a basketful of some or.
the early vegetables. Or, for ,a•
/ change, show mother working among

her flowers. Flowers are important,
too, in maintaining ,!that elusive
quality which people call morale.
Make sequence shots of some
member of the ,family Father, for ,
example.' The first could show him
starting out, fresh as a daisy, ready
to conquer the whole garden in no
time at all. Follow this with other
shots in whieh'he-appears progr•es-
siyely more bedraggled and weary. •
And top the whole thing off with a
snap of him—once more slick as a
pin —lolling ,'comfortably on the
veranda in the company of the after-
noon paper. Nothing startling about .
such a series, of course. But it does
highlight the story of you and your
garden—simply and effectively. And
such shots are frequently more ap-
pealing than those that strive too
obviously to be speotacuias.
Vacations aren't all work and no
play, of course, So, how about a
"hot" roast, by way of relaxation?
Or a picnic on the lawn? Snell do-
ings as these should bo good for a
few interesting pictures. Always
bearing
in mind that film is still it

with 'due care and consideration.
