This wonderful health beverage has a delicious, rich flavour, very similar to mild
Java coffee although it contains no coffee, caffeine or other harmful substance.
There are two forms of Postum. The original Powtom Cereal which must be
boiled. Instant Postum—the soluble form—is made instantly in the cup with hot
water; sugar and cream added to taste.
Thousands now use POSTUM instead of coffee—

Do You Know How Easily
Your Boy’s Instinct to
Kill May Be Reformed?
By MARY E. WALTER
(Copyright. I*l C. by M. K. Walter.)
With a slingshot in one hand and
a dead robin in the other, Billie
Telfer stopped short on the porch.
Hla mighty hunter instinct of the
12-year-old boy struggled with half
shame at the horrlAed expression
with which his mother met him.
"Bon! to think you would kill a
bird!" she cried, with visions of
what her eldest born might do at
id. at 30! Blllle'a sisters stood by,
sorrowing for the bird, sorrowing
for Billie, wondering where and
how the hand of punishment would
fall.
That evening Father and Mother
Telfer conferred, while Billie grew
restless under suspended sentence.
Two days later a bundle of old
boards, shingles, bark, tree limbs,
was dumped In the yard. Two gov
ernment booklets came by mail.
One of those booklets which Mrs.
Telfer put Into the hands of her
wary son turned out to be a Joyous
revelation to him. It waa called
"Bird Houses and How to Build
Them." Its diagrams and pictures
Atted marvellously with the bundle
of boards and bark. Suddenly the
rampant boyhood that had revelled
in slingshot destructiveness turned
to building bird houses. Billie ran
sacked the public library for more
bird books. He converted all the
rubbish he could And into bird
bungalows, food shelters, and plat
forms.
The second pamphlet opened the
eyes of the young hunter to the use
fulness of birds. They are. he
found, not intended as slingshot
targets. They eat harmful Insects
and noxious weed seeds and take
cultivated fruit and grain only when
deprived of natural foods.
It was like meeting old friends
to And that the booklet described
and pictured birds that lived near.
He began to regret that some of
those birds must have suffered last
winter from lack of his bird houses.
Only a month ago Billie’s "pun
ishment" began. In that month the
wonderful field of bird lore has
been opened to his eager mind. He
can name all "our birds." He
points them out to his mother, sis
ters, and boy friends on their bird
tramps. These "trampe" serve the

Nothing Is more delightfully sug

than n young girl properly gowned;
and the pattern shown here Is
youthful, simple, attractive, and

Although the’quaint espe style of
50 years ago Is Introduced in the
waist, another waist design Is
given with ths pattern for those
who prefer n simple, loose blouse
with no seams other than those of
the underarm and shoulder.
In the more elaborate waist the
cape, used as an ornament to the
upper portion, may be of contrast
ing color or material, or of the same
goods with a fancy border.
This frock Is constructed of blue
gingham, with a striped white and
blue gingham lower portion, and
the same striped goods used as a
border to the cape and sash. Pieces
of the atriped fabric are cut into
cuffs. Ths costume Is very charm

moke the entire skirt in one piece

there la no doubt that skirts with
ruffled edges outwear those finished

Materials adapted to this sort of
dress are taffeta, sport silks, and

Work of a Governess.
BY JESSIE ROBERTS.
"My Dear Miss Roberts—Could
you tell me what the duties of a
governess are supposed to be?
Whether one is required to have a
great deal of education? I have
never followed a prescribed schedule
of studies, but I have read a grra*
deal of history as well as most of
the best books of standard English
literature. I have a diploma from a
business college, which I presume
is a very :-mall asset for a governess.
I might add that 1 ini fond of chil
dren.
"Are there any hooks on thin sub
ject? An> information yon can give
me will ue greatly appreciated.
Sincerely yours, m."
There are a good many degrees in
governesses, and I lon t see why
your education is a drawba<k. If you
are able to teach. That might get
one or two volumes on the Montes
sorl method, not in order to use It.
perhaps, but btcauae it gives »n ex
cellent point of view cn the whole
subject of teaching and understand
ing children.
A nursery governed, who takes
the smaller children under her
charge, must be partly a nurse, put
ting her charges to bed. dressing and
bathing them, and taking them to
pi ty and walk. She ought to be able
to teach them simple calisthenics
and games, to tell them stories and
keep them nmused, and sbe should
be able tc teach them the rudlpients
to start them on the rchool pa'h.
A mother usually looks ,'cr breed
ing in a governess, since manners
are pari of tlie child’s education
With young children a cnarming
presence, a love of the little things,
a sweet voice pnd sunny temper, es
pecially the ability to interest and
amuse and control w-lthout viol* nor,
are big assets. If Is only when the
youngsters are older that the moth
er seeks a finished teacher: one who
holds diplomas and knows one or
two foreign languages.
A well-read yourg gentlewoman
who loves children should have no
difficulty in se<uring a position as
governess to voting children.

Boys Want to Feel Proud of

Clothes that are manly, help to make boys manly.
When you put confidence enough in a boy to tog him out
in a good-looking, good-fitting suit, invariably he will endeavor
to deserve that confidence.
Grown men find an inspiration for bigger, better achieve
ments in clothing that gives them confidence. So do their sons.
Hudson's clothes for
boys are of the kind
that develop a boy's
taste for things worth

clothes from the same

the boy realize the im
