| How to Keep “Kids” Off Street
When the Hudson family out in Vancouver, B. C., bought two cornets
and a trombone for their three children —the eldest of whom was then hut
six—the neighbors viewed the musical project with decided skepticism.
“Father” Dadson, however, had ideas of his own, and the doubts of the
neighbors worried him not one lota, lie believed that children “run the
streets” because there is nothing in the average home to hold their interest.
He believed that with a definite something in the home it would be the home,
and not (he streets, that would see the most of his children. Further, he
believed that music could supply that definite something. At least It was
worth a trial.
The above picture, from the Conn Music Center files, goes far toward
felling the rest of the-story of this father’s experiment.
His three children —Billy is now eight, Hector is six and Mona is four—
jfure now real musicians. Recently they tried their instruments on a nationally
known vaudeville circuit, “just to see what it was like.” Critics pronounced
'their act the feature of the hill. “Father” Dadson, however, is more interested
dn the fuct that the act Is the feature of the home.

Home Builders’ Problems
THE Celotechnic Institute of America was recently established, with head

It Is the aim of B. G. Dahlberg, its founder, to delve

« •jjffiiM the very latest data on most modem building practices

wMktP&fKt'\ declares Mr. Dahlberg. "In all tiie facts we give the public

tB. G. Oa' erg. Mr. Dahlberg Is among the youngest of America’s cap

spent In railroading, a good portion of It as an associate of the late James J
Hill the great empire builder of the Northwest. In more recent years he has
been prominently Identified with a number of large construction projects. A
vision of great efficiency and economy in building, growing out of his experi

bring out the liveliest contest of theni
all when Edna May’s King owned by
Revel Lindsay English, and Easter
Star owned by Marco Heilman, meet
in the five gaited championship.
Easter Star won last year after the
judges were obliged to keep the
horses in the ring for twenty extra
minutes to determine which was
the better. Since that time Edna
May’s King has won the SIO,OOO stake
at the Kentucky state fair. One of the
horses will gain the distinction of
being the best five gaited horse in the
United States.
The 110 classes, which include five
$2,000 stakes, will show a total of
about 400 horses. More than 150 of
these are from East of the Rocky
Mountains.
Wine 384 Years Old
Which is the oldest bottle of wln<
In the world? As far as authenticated
records can settle this question the
palm undoubtedly goes to a bottle o?
Stelnwein—a Bavarian hock —which
bears on Its label the date 1540. The
384-year-old bottle and its preclou*
contents, which Henry VIII might
have sampled, are in the possession

First Royal Astronomer
John Flamsteed, famous astronomer,
was the first royal astronomer of Eng
land. He was appointed to that office
March 4, 1075. He was a bitter enemy
of Newton, because Newton tried t*
give him necessary advice.
Athletic Elephant
A Munchausen story of fish that
climb trees caused old Captain Long
chalk, as a London daily calls him, to
retort with this: He was shooting
elephants in Africa when one of the
herd, slightly wounded, dived Into a
lake. The captain pursued him with
a landing net, but before he could
reach him the elephant tore up a palm
tree and, using it us u vaulting pole,
disappeared in a succession of high
Jumps.— Youth’s Companion.

of Baby's Cold
A well-regulated movement of the bowels
la the first and most necessary step in
breaking up baby’s cold. Until this is done,
your little one is in constant danger of
complications and serious illness.
Millions of mothers have found from
past experience that baby’s colds are usual
ly easy to break up if Dr. Moffett’s Teeth
ina is given just as quickly as symptoms
appear.
Teethina Is a famous baby laxative, es
pecially prepared to regulate little bowels
and induce gentle natural movements. It
quickly and thoroughly removes poisonous
waste from the stomach. It tones up the
entire system and is of priceless value in
helping to build up baby’s strength and
resistance to colds. This is why physicians
have been recommending it for three gen
erations. Price 30c at all drug stores.
