Birds and Frogs
Friends to Dahlias
,
'
I wonder how many Dahlia
fans realize how many insects the
hirriH and fross will kill In the
S, Bardens8 w: hlve'pu. many
bird houses around our dahlia
panlens and in the summer there
i.re dozens of birds among the
dahlias, hunting insects, many
0f j
which are too small for us to see.
Anhhf, leafhoppers, trip, etc., both-'-
us very little and ;ve do very
fIle spraying since the birds have
taken up their homes with us. We
i-ead a few days ago that one pair
of Insect-eating birds will do more
good In a garden than a five
gallon spray used every week, and
Mnce having the birds, we do not
doubt it.
Itirds are so Interesting to have
around, and with good treatment
will become very tame. We have
11 bird bath in the gardens arid on
warm summer days have seen as
many as 50 birds (of many kinds),
on the hushes around the bath, at
nne time, waiting their turn to
! drink or bathe and sometimes
i three or four in the bath at once.
S We have also seen them take a
bath In the winter when the tem
1 peru Hi re was almost down to
j freezing and it made us shiver to
! see them do it. We also put up
! feeding, stations for the winter
' when their feed is scarce, for we
' do Hot forgot the help they were
! to iis in the summer.
Tl'rngs and toads are also won
f dcrful friends to the gardens. We
have a lily pool about 14 feet by
4 y feet, anil on warm summer days

1 Dear Mary Ann
Here's a story
1 I have written:
Tin. I.'tifl nr lin TVt.lt
Long ago before the white men
came over, there was an Indian
i boy who was very strong. He was
ijucry,
Mrs. 1. P.
Answer. A door made in two
parts so that the upper half may
he opened while the lower half
romnins closed. These doors were
used extensively as from doors by
the Colonial Dutch settlers in New
York and Pennsylvania. Heavy
'iron hinges should be used on such
doors.
Query. When a piece of goods
has been dyed and rinsed well how
'should it be dried? Mrs. K. K. W.
1 Answer. Do not hang it up un
less there happens to be a stiff j
i wind until after you have shaken I
I it almost dry. Otherwise the dyes j
j settle In the lower edges. Shake 1
I the piece of cloth well turning It
constantly. After it is partly dry j
It can be hung up.
Query. What Is chintz? Mrs.
I P. T.
j Answer. Originally the name
: was applied to an lCugllsli cotton
fxhrle with a siiiull flcrtire 111 caV
i floral design.
1 Query. What colors can I com
bine in my kitchen? The walls are
yellow. Mrs. E.
Answer. If the walls arc n o t
too bright a yellow and tho room
none too sunny, use a gray green
wood work and small touches of
Chinese red. However, If the. walls 1
I him bright yellow have tho wood
i work dune In a soft gray and then
: use touches of bright green and
dull red for accents.
I Query. What color In best for

off his horse and crawled up to
the tents where he heard the white
men planning that they were going
to make war upon the Indians.
Then he Jumped on his pony and
rode as fast as his horse could
carry him back to his tribe. He
told the other braves the plan he
had heard. This news caused them
to run to a safer place, nnd that
was how the brave had saved his
tribe. Put that wasn't the end of
the war.
Soon the white men came
thick ami built houses that they
seemed to be everywhere. So the
Indians went back into the moun
tains.
I "e yf,H" ft terrible disease came

dians. It caused hundreds of
deaths, and there were so few left
that they went farther back Into
the mountains to stay,
A man came In one day and he
wanted to get all the land for his
governor, and decided to put the
Indians on a rt'Hervallon. Put the
Indians didn't like this.
Now, this young Indian brave.
Instead of going to the reservation,
be went to t b highest peak his
horse could ctlmh. It was a clear
night and tho stars were shining,
the big yellow tfionn also shone

He raised his hrad nnd prayed
that his irllic might be saved.
Then all of a midden he lilt his

Pointers forParents j
The World is gelling over the fitful spell whclh has held It in
n fast grip for the past few weeks. Little by little the loud.
Mustering days are passing away. Those were the days when
nature knew Just what to do. pefore winter could let go her
hold upon tho earth, meadows, forest mid upland had to be
lashed by the winds of March and swept clean by the howling
winds of old' Poreas.
Put Just now It Is a question whether nature had better
laugh or cry. One moment out dashes the sunshine and warms
things up so that th old dog creeps around on the south side
of tho house and stretches himself out to take a nap. Then
hi almost no time along comes a shower, darkening the sun and
awakening Towser from his slumbers. Laughing and crying al
most in the same breath, this is April.
Hut isn't there more or sunshine than of shower? And do
not the little rains make the world brighter and fresher every
time they come? The boys brought homo from the woods this
morning some spring 1 lowers, the first of the season. How
pretty they look on the table now! Listening we can hear the
world whispering, "It will be better tomorrow. You'll see. Even
now I am beginning to think out so many good things for the
days to come. Put Just now. let me have my cry out. Don't
blame me for shedding a few tears when April comes. I'm so
happy!"
Yes. April, month of the smites and the tears, laugh and cry
to your heart's content. We have done the same more than
once, and we know how much good it does a-body to be so
happy we don't realty know whether to wlpo our eyes on our
coat sleeve or pull down the window shade to keep tho carpet
from fading where the sunlight strikes.
Wa will take you at your wont and wait for the morrow
when the steadier hours will come and this old earth will be
bathed from morning tilt night In a great flood of glory. Song
birds will be here then end flowers everywhere. We can go out
ami tramp tho fields to our heart's content and never think of
needing an umbrella. So keep It up! Laugh till you cry nnd
cry till you laugh. It ls April's way and who ever know a
better way?

Suggestion for Spring Cleaning
There Is always danger of spot
ting or soiling walls while the
woodwork is being cleaned. To
avoid this, place a piece of card
board along the edge of the door
frame or window casing that Is to
he cleaned, moving It along as you
work. You not olny prevent the
soiling of tho walls, but tho device
enables you to work faster nnd
more thoroughly. Mrs. D. S.
After Acitmvlng Adhesive Tapo
A very simple method of remov
ing tho after effects of adhesive
tape or sticky plaster of any kind,
1 discovered the other dny. Hy
applying cold cream and then rub

sticky marks disappear like magic,
leaving the skin clean and not a

pleased with the results ufter re
