Proper breathing is necessary to 
health; so every child should have the 
nose free and clean. The air is filtered 
and warmed by the nose before it 
reaches the lungs. In case of a “cold'’ 
the inner tissues may be swollen, or 
excessive secretions of mucus partly fill 
the cavities, so it is necessary to breath 
through the mouth. 
Sweet spirits of nitre will benefit a 
cold before it becomes “set.” Use a 
teaspoonful to half a glass of water and 
sweeten slightly. Give in teaspoonful 
doses, three or four times a day. Cam¬ 
phor ice or vaseline is helpful when 
rubbed over the nostrils. 
Chronic catarrh results from a neg¬ 
lected cold, when the person is out of 
condition. This is weakening, and 
should be attended to. Local douching 
is beneficial and can be done with an 
ordinary syringe by holding the nozzle 
to throw the stream of water back, not 
up. The head should be turned slightly 
to the opposite side, only a gentle flow 
allowed, and should run out from the 
other nostril into a pus basin or wash 
basin. After one side is cleared, the 
head can be tilted and the other side 
done. There are spray atomizers for 
this purpose, and the “canary” bird¬ 
shaped douche we were taught to use 
when I was training as a nurse in St. 
John’s Guild Hospital for Children, 
New York, I consider the very best for 
children, as it is very gentle in its 
action. 
Use water that has been boiled and 
cooled to lukewarm, with a bit of bak¬ 
ing soda and of table salt, the size of 
a split yellow pea, to each doucheful; 
when this is dissolved add five drops 
of listerine. If each side of the nose 
is douched with this amount, once daily, 
there should be a marked improvement 
in two months’ time. Nose trouble is 
rather a slow one to cure; but if the 
catarrh has not existed long, it may be 
better in a shorter time. As soon as 
it seems much better stop douching and 
nature will usually continue and com¬ 
plete the cure. 
When a a child breathes habitually 
through the mouth, and snores when 
asleep, a physician should be consulted. 
Probably he will diagnose adenoid 
growths as the cause and advise their 
removal. This should not be neglected, 
for they will enlarge and press against 
the inner ear and cause deafness; and 
eventually the child becomes stupid and 
unable to study much. As the growths 
interfere with proper breathing, the 
general health becomes impaired and 
the mouth breathing gives a stupid ex¬ 
pression to the face. Children or in¬ 
fants should not be allowed to sleep 
with the mouth open, unless there is 
some reason why the nose is not clear 
for use. When the child goes to sleep 
with the thumb in the mouth, remove 
it; if the mouth is open, push the chin 
up gently until the lips are well closed. 
Some children throw the head back so 
the mouth falls open again. In this 
case, place the hand under the back 
of the head and move it gently forward, 
until the chin rests on tire chest; this 
will keep the mouth closed. 
To give the nose a nice line, press 
gently along the bridge, on both sides 
at once, every day during infancy while 
the bones and cartilage are pliable. 
Over-large nostrils can be trained in the 
same way, by gently stroking from the 
tip to the face.

Anty Drudge —“Well, well, well, what are you two little 
busy bees doing? And where is mother?” 
Children —“Mother’s sick today, and we are doing the 
washing for her. She told us just how to do it with 
Fels-Naptha Soap, and it isn’t hard at all. Mother 
said we couldn’t have done it the old way, but Fels- 
Naptha Soap is so easy.” 
How do you wash? Do you use a 
boiler, and do you have to rub, rub, rub 
to get your clothes clean, until you think you 
will drop? And does night come and find 
you just finishing a big wash? 
Or do you use Fels-Naptha Soap, put 
your clothes to soak in cool or lukewarm 
water, while you go out and tend to your 
chickens, or hunt your eggs. After the 
clothes have been soaked about thirty min¬ 
utes, you can come in, rub them lightly, rinse 
them and hang them out. You can do your 
work easily and pleasantly with the help of 
Fels-Naptha Soap. The time and strength 
you save you can use for pleasure.

The old, smoky, unsatisfactory lamp, with its danger, its con¬

you want? 
Electric Light is placed at your disposal, regardless of your 
farm’s situation, by an Individual Electric Lighting Plant, equipped 
with the 
“Cbloribe accumulator” 
This is the storage battery which stores up the electricity, ready for use 
at any time of day or night. We want you to send for our book “ Information

you how, with the “Cblonbe SCCUlUUlatOr ’* you are enabled to run a 
gas engine for regular farm work during the greater part of the day, and then 
for a few hours occasionally use it to fill the storage battery, and how you need 
never run it at night. The “ CblCtiOC ScCtimulatOC ” makes your light 
dependable, exactly as though it were furnished by a large municipal lighting 
station. Wonderful, isn’t it? And it means the biggest sort of comfort, 
convenience and safety to you. Write the nearest office today for the book—
