The Guidite World of Music Hy Miss Fth»l Junes The Finger Bridges Cover The Keyboard Marvin’s lesson was going along in “tip top” shape. Well almost anyway; Marvin was just a little worried. The week before his tea cher had reminded him that he should keep his fingers curved and his hands “arched,” but it was hard to keep his fingers curved when there were so many other things like fingering, counting and sharps and flats to remember. He thought maybe his teacher would not notice hig hands this once. Ho had just gotten to a spot where his hands flopped and flat tened out terribly, when his teacher stooped over and looked along the keyboard. What’s he doing? Marvin thou ght. He became so excited that it was hard to keep on> playing. My goodness, your bridges have fallen down! his teacher exclaim ed. Marvin suddenly stopped play ing. “What do you meani?” He looked puzzled. “When I wras a boy,” his teacher began, “I used to pretend that mv hands were two little bridges, I kept my fingers curved s« that the bridges could not fall down into keyboard rivei’. My little finger had to be watched the closest be cause it liked to sort of straighten out and tip the w'hole bridge over sideways. Marvin could hardly wait to put his hands on the keys to see if they really looked like bridges sure enough. First he looked at his right hand, then at the left He could see the keyboard river flow- j ing clear to the ends of the piano. When he practiced the next week he began by curving his fingers j and arching the finger bridges ove1- j the keys before he began to play. Every few minutes he bent down to »ee if the bridges were still up A week passed quickly by, and it ! was really fun to build and wafch the keyboard bridges! Try it for yourself.

Prevention of Disease — BY I>K. G. B. LKXNOX Children who enjoy privacy in their homes and are then thrown in large crowds, such as schools arj.l church and by playing with others, are nusectible to a certain amount of communicable diseases. Thus by handling articles and put ting the fingers into the outh, by using the same drinking cup, sit ting in congested room with lit tle ventilation, etc.,they throw open the door for the spread of disease. Great precaution should be taken to prevent the contrac tion of such diseases as small pox. scarlet fever, typhoid fever, dipth eria, measles, whooping cough and the common cold w'hich might later develop into pneumonia. To help prevent these, children must use private drinking cups, bathe regularly, never over eat, and eat regularly the foods which are eas ily digested. A sufficient amount , of rest answers for the same pur- ! ,poso as good food. Keep the tody ! warm and prevent chilling. If the 1 child is not immune to these di,s eases or his not been vaccinated, 1 have it done at once to safeguard against these contagious diseases and thereby help ward off other diseases. If your child should fall a victim to any disease call your family doctor at once and he will help vou check any condition. Re member a teaspoon full of pre caution is worth a barrel full of cure. Their lives are worth the price. You will hear from me later. ■-a VERSE TO A BUSINESS MAN Sock him on the kisser, put him on the pan, Roll him in the gutter—He’s a business man. Pillory the sucker, poke him in the eye. Jump upton his torso—He’s a business guy! Has he built a business to enor mous heights? Brand him as a cheater—Never mind his rights! Does he give employment? Is the payroll big? Put the bum is irons! Toss him in the brig! Why, the dirty reptile should be paying more! Blast him in the headlines charge some crooked acts. Let this be your slogam:“Any thing but facts;” Has he made som« money? Get his scalp today! S*"'. where does he think he’s! living, anyway? —Daily Leader-Time. Kittanrir.*;, Pa. -O- ; Beware Coughs from common colds That Hang On No matter how many medicines ; you have tried for your cough, chest cold, or bronchial irritation, you can get relief now with Creomulsion. Serious trouble may be brewing and you cannot afford to take a chance with any remedy less potent than Creomulsion, which goes right to the seat of the trouble and aids na ture to soothe and heal the inflamed mucous membranes and to loosen and expel the germ-laden phlegm. Even if other remedies have failed, don’t be discouraged, try Creomul sion. Your druggist is authorized to refund your money if you are not thoroughly satisfied with the bene fits obtained from the very first bottle. Creomulsion is one word—not two, and it has no hyphen in it. Ask for it plainly, see that the name on the bottle is Creomulsion, and you’ll get the genuine product and the relief you want. (Adv.)
