ECAUSE this is your Book of Health,

We thought you'd like a part

In finishing it up, and so

We count on you for Art.

Get out your paints or crayons gay ;

The pictures number six ;

And if you have no colors—well

Theyre not so hard to mix.

CHICHMIGO,-

H™: what one little girl did who had no crayons or paints. She used beet juice for the red; she boiled some

onion skins to get yellow; and her blue was bluing from the laundry. The red and blue gave her purple; the red and yellow gave her brown. For green she laid a maple leaf on the paper and rubbed it with a little stick. Then

she tied a bit of white cloth on the end of the stick and used it for a brush. Her finished pic- ture was colored about like the sample sheet enclosed in this book. You may have even bet- ter ideas for making beautiful colors to tint the other pictures.
