It is very necessary that small re- pairs be made whenever their need is apparent, for "A stitch in time al- ways saves nine." A neglected dwell- ing soon gets a run-down-at-the-heel appearance, and the value depreciates rapidly. Whenever papering is to be done, clean off the old paper by moistening with a whitewash brush dipped in hot water. Let soak awhile and the paper will come off quite readily. Then, with plaster of Paris mixed with milk to prevent it setting rapidly, or fibre plaster which is mixed with water and hardens so that it is of board-like, solidity--fill up any cracks and any| places where the baseboard has) shrunk away from the plaster. | Smooth off these places with a little| sandpaper when they are dry, and a! much better papering job will be pos- sible. Specify that your paper hanger will | cut and match the paper at the cor- ners of the room; otherwise there will be a twisted and broken appearance in a short time, because of the some- | what uneven settling of the walls, and! the fact that the paper was not crowded closely into the angle. Where worn door sills, splintered | boards, or warped places in the floor | show themselves, attend to the repair as soon as possible. Mark the warp- ed places with a small lead pencil mark as to where nailing is necessary. To nail when the warping is present, will nearly always break the tongue of the board or split it in the middle. When the heating plant is going, the floor will dry out--the boards will come back where they belong, and then the pencil marks will indicate just where the nailing should be done. Replace worn or broken boards at once. A skillful carpenter or even a handy-man can cut these out and re- place them. The wood finish of some ready-built houses has a cheap appearance be. cause of its thinness and its quality. This effect may be relieved by pur- chasifg suitable moulding at a lumber- mill. Have a carpenter take the meas- urements and attend to the mitering of the corners. Nail this moulding carefully in place about the doors and windows. Putty nail heads, and when the room is painted, or painted and enameled, the appearance will be wonderfully improved. COAXING THE MILK-DRINKING HABIT, There are times, even with children brought up on the farm, when they will refuse to drink milk. After hav- Ing been weaned from the wholly milk diet, they like the solid foods so well Se r---- or nti r the hands Fm ESE BE g 0) = Oy WW i CY i A {) that their glass of milk at each "meal is neglected. And too many times, the two or three-year-old suddenly revolts against drinking milk for no sppar- ent reason. In such cases, mother 'must do some- thing to cause the child to acquire the milk-drinking habit, or to coax it along, for milk is a food needed in abundance by the growing child. There are many ways by which the child can be taught to like milk. Oftentimes if he is permitted to drink milk from a pretty cup or glass, never used for anything else, it will taste much better to him, One mother writes that she induced her three-year-old daughter to drink milk by putting a pretty picture on the bottom of the glass for her to see when the glass was drained. Some- i times she put pieces of hard candy in the glass, and the little girl was anxious to drink the milk that she might obtain the sweet. Drinking milk through straws, such as are used at soda fountains, always appeals to children, and especially 80 if the milk is tinted with pure vege- table coloring or flavored with fruit | juices. These '"'encouragements" need only to be used for a short time. An appe- tite for milk and the habit of drink- ing it regularly will soon be develop- ed, and with a little care and tact on Mother's part, it will become per- manent. iW Ld A DAINTY MORNING FROCK. 4722.

It was dangerous. I was back of the barn, driving the team that was hitched to the big cable. Two more men were up in the loft, stowing the hay away as the big fork dropped it. Then it would start back, looking for all the world like a big spider with its legs doubled up under it. . men saw the accident. The little Missus happened to be watching from the back porch and I heard her scream. 1 dropped my lines and sprinted, but she beat me there. The fork had struck him on the head, making a mighty ugly-looking wound. He never moved and at first I thought he had gone the Road, but his heart was still beating. We got him into the house and in no time old Doc' Smith was there and ~--Doctor Tom was with him! I never knew just how that happenéd. Things were mighty serious. A ticklish piece of operating had to be done. The old doctor wouldn't even attempt it, but he put it up to Doctor Tom. Seems the old man knew all} about the young one. He put the case before the Missus for her to decide. | She just said, "Save him if you can, Tom!" and then things began to move lively. I haven't the slightest idea how long it took. When there's an operation on hand, the folks who are waiting always have time to go around the world two or three times. The little Missus at first was nervous as a witch but towards the last she just sort of wilted and sat there, still, with her head in her hands. Doctor Tom told me to stay close in case they wanted anything, so there I sat and twiddled my thumbs, and kept up a steady thinking. I've always said that if I had the say-so as to who does the most good in the world, preachers or doctors, the doctors would come out a snap and a grab ahead. It seemed to; me that Doctor 'om's work of saving, the man who was making the woman | he--Doctor Tom---Iloved, absolutely, miserable, must be Just about as tough a job as a man ever tackled. After about ten years, Doc' Smith came out and sat down beside the lit-' tle Missus. "Everything went nicely, | 1 and we hope for the best," he said| "Wilson is a marvelous surgeon and has done everything that can be done. Now we can only wait results and be patient. We are both rather exhaust- ed--do you suppose you could make us a cup of coffee?" No one ever heard of Doc' Smith being "exhausted." The coffee-making was a prescription for the sake of the little Missus! While she was in the kitchen, we I ber whose name began with the letter of the alphabet next to hers. As the meetings came only once every month this gave ample time for reading the book. The books were never discussed for fear of spoiling the pleasure of those who had not yet read them. So the authors were dis- cussed. Each member answered to roll with some interesting fact about the author selected. Light refresh- ments were served. L. E. B. IN QUARANTINE. When the youngster is convalescing from a contagious disease, an inter- esting form of amusement is to place him at the window with pencil and paper and get him to write the names of objects he can see, dividing them into groups, such as colors one day; flowers and trees the next day; parts of houses, etc., the following day.

None of the|he had ' wondered what in the Sam Hill makes | before, and I guessed he didn't get his in Kansas City to tell him to end out on the next train the best nurse he could find. The only time he spoke to the Missus was when he ordered her off to bed like she was a little kid. "You're worn out, little girl--go on to bed now and don't worry; John here, will stand by to-night and if there is any need we will call you at once." She minded him. It was just daylight when the Boss opened his eyes. Naturally he couldn't sense what had Kappened. Doctor Tom told him just enough to keep him! quiet but his eyes kept wandering around the room as if he was looking for something and when the little Missus came to thé door it was plain to be seen that she was what he was looking for. He reached one hand to- ward her and, when she put hers into it, he dropped off to sleep like a baby. She slipped away as soon as she could and I watched him while Doctor| Tom went out for a breath of air, I sat there looking at the big outline of] the Boss under the white cover and us sorry for six feet of cussedness just because it happens to be hurt and helpless. The nurse came that afternoon. Doctor Tom went back to town. Hel looked sort-of petered, which wasn't to be wondered at considering that he | hadn't had a wink of slecp the night !much the night before that, judging from the frame of mind he was in | when I was hid in the pump-room. He was back bright and early the next ! morning to see how the Boss was com- ing on. His face made me think of a mask. It wae for .all-the world like he had slipped something down over it to keep us from seeing the real feel- lings that might show. The Boss improved right along. Doctor Tom came out from town two or three times a day and the nurse was right on the job. - The Boss didn't have much to say but the way he watched the little Missus was moving, It reminded me of the way she used to look at him when she first came to the ranch. The Doctor stayed over in town for about a week. Seemed like he had for- gotten all about his rush to get to Denver, . 1 was busy keeping up the farm work and didn't see much that went on at the house. One day at noon the Missus asked me to hand a new screen door for her and T was just finishing when Doctor Tom came for his regular afternoon call. The Missus had just come out of the pump-room with a glass of fresh water for the Boss when the Doctor went up on, the porch. I was|" trying the new screen, admiring the smooth way it worked and heard him say, "About one more trip will be all that will be necessary. I think I shall come out late this evening and, if everything is still favorable, I shall leave the case with Doctor Smith and catch the early train for Denver." The glass of yaigr slid out of the Missus' hand and smashed but I don't think they noticed it. I took just one sideways look at them---she looked like she had gone limp all over, and ag for him--well--the mask had slipped. . 1 moseyed to the barn pronto, with out even gathering 1 a hard proposition thresh out.

Of late years, due to the heavy toll exacted and the indiscriminate killing in, 'the seal catch of New- foundland has fallen off somewhat. ' The industry is, in fact, in the process of being intelligently built up again at the present time under the conser- vative spupervision of the Newfound- land G nment. In.the old days a single vessel has brought into St. John's 4 catch of 42,000 skins, and a total of nearly 700,000 seals have been taken by the entire Newfoundland | fleet in a single season. : As recently 'as 1908, 'the catch numbered 213,863 seals, and that of the following year 269,320. The total catch in 1922 and - (1928 was in the neighborhood of 127, 000, worth about $200,000, That of the present year is expected to be worth a little more. In line with every other phase of continental life, the sealing excursion from « Newfoundland has been con- siderably modernized.
