If neglected their suffering grows more acute till decline seta. in. If your daughter complains of weari- ness; pains in the side; weakness; headache or backache; her appetite t uncertain and her spirits low anaemia is the cause. She needs new blood.

It has been found necessary to design cages for him. The reason for this is that the young oyster is such an irresponsible- little fellow. Microscopic in site, the newly- hatched oyster or spat, as be is call- ed is able to swim about quite freely. Not for some time does he drop down to the bottom and anchor himself to a stone. And If he happens to drop oa to a place where there are no stones, h* is at the mercy of currents and tides which sweep him out to s<?.i, where all kinds of enemies are wait- ing for him. Owners of oyster bed* are now mak- ing ue of cages which look rather like esg-boxes. These contain num- bers of cardboard partitions which are dipped in a special cenxent-Iike com- pound. Hundreds of these crates are placed upon the beds, acd when the oyster spat falls they provide Just the resting place- required. As many as 1,500 oyster'.ets have been found at- tached to one compartment of a crate, and as there are twenty-fire compart- ments in each the total population may b considerable. At the end of a certain number of days the cement dissolves and the young oyster is able to detach himself and sit down permanently upon some- thing solid in the neighborhood. "Tit-Bits."
