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.
The Bluing — The Onion — The Brush — The Beet
