Babies' Health In Springtime.

Spring-warm days, cool evenings, cooler nights; a time of year when frequently little children suffer health irregularities, for, no matter how vigi- lant a mother may be, there is always the risk of a sudden chill.

It is for the treatment of just such health upsets that Baby's Own Tablets were devised by a physician who made a special study of children's ailments. An occasional dose of Baby's Own Tablets keeps the child's stomach sweet and his bowels regular, and helps Nature to build a sturdy little body well able to withstand climatic changes.

If what they throw into it is good enough to preserve that film-star complexion it ought to be good enough for the likes of us.

Vegetable stew-that's the more technical name for their favourite concoction-tastes better than any dish obtainable and it is also one of the healthiest.

Except for peeling and slicing a few vegetables in the initial stages, it is practically no trouble to keep going. And you can work out that every meal costs about a penny a head.

Start by making a stock out of any sort of bones you can beg, borrow, or steal. Add a large can of tomato puree. Then just put in any kind of vegetables that you can think of.

Have You Got CHARM

Answer “Yes” or “No” to the following questions. Then count the number of times your answer is "Yes". If ten times, you are very charming. If five times or more you have charm. If less than five times you had better start a campaign of self-improvement at

once.

1. Do you enjoy being with peo-

ple?

2. Are you an interested listener? 3. Do you think about the in- terests and activities of the person to whom you are talk- ing, so that you can ask ques- tions that draw him out?

4. Do you smile at people when you meet them or are talking with them?

5. Do you look for things to ap- preciate in people and in some way express your apprecia- tion?

6. Do you avoid belittling you

self in conversation?

7. Are you free from nervous or objectionable mannerisms, such as finger tapping, sniffing, scratching, leaving your hand- kerchief about, etc.?

8. Could you make yourself smile and say something pleasant to a person you long to slap?

9. Do you like to make people feel important and happy when they are with you?

10. Would you put yourself to some inconvenience in order not to make a difficulty for someone else?

Loosen the screws that hold the wire in position and clear away the ends of the burnt-out wire. Replace with a short length of new “five- amp," fuse wire. Fuse holders vary in pattern, but you can see how the wire is fixed by looking at one of the intact fuses.

Replace the fuses, put the lid on the fuse box, and turn on the cur- when-rent. All should now be well," but

if the lights fail to function, or the fuse blows again immediately, there is a fault in the wiring, and an elec- trician should be sent for..
