brought to an unexpected end the

all in pretty fair condition.

Lansing, Mich.-In regard to safe
guarding rural school children, G.. 5.
Lasher, auditor in the department of
public instruction of Michigan, says:
"The rural one-room school is here; it
has persisted despite all its limita-
tons for years; it will remain for
years to come. While Michigan is
one of the richest states in the ma
ton, its natural resources are superb,
its population ranks high in intelli-
gence and culture, it's schools rank
fourteenth among those of the coun-
try. While the state is considerable
above the average a survey of the
situation reveals the appalling fact
that the vast majority of the boys
and girls are spending from four to
six hours every school day in build
ings which are a menace to their
health.
"In 80 of the 83 counties of Mich
igan there are 1924 rural one and
two-room schools. OF this number
2,075 possess heating and ventilating
systems, 499 basement furnaces and
888 jacketed stoves. The children in
1922 schools or more than SO per
cent, suffer from Stove-heated rooms
which are inadequately ventilated.
Only 1850, or approximately 10 per
cent, have drinking fountains, while
but 3,605, or less than one-half, even
boast cups. But Isl safeguard the
children from the dangers of the
common roller towel by the use Of
paper towels and 140 by the use of
individual towels.
Comparatively little attention is
paid to correct seating of the chill
dren. In only 435 schools or less than
six per cent, are found adjustable
seats and desks. But LOO schools,
or about % per cent have the seats
and desks properly arranged, the
same sized seats and desks in the
same rows from front to back. In
1859 schools there are not a suffi-
cient number of small sized seats and
desks so that thousands of youngsters
have to sit all day with their feet
swinging in the air and must distort

business" of eating without a muir
muir from soup to cambria tea. If you
are worried or anxious, put those two
harmful emotions aside for the brief
meal hour-yet, and for an hour or
so afterward. Worry but retards the
digestion, and a retarded digestion
makes you incompetent to cope with
the problem which probably caused
the anxiety.
A very simple remedy for indiges-
ton, and one that is quite effective,
is the glass of hot water slipped a
half hour before each meal. 1t is
not well to take it any nearer the
time of eating, as the water is taken
for the purpose of washing out the
stomach, and it is a half hour, and
sometimes more, before the last of
the water leaves the stomach and en-
tiers the intestines.
While visiting, a young woman of
our acquaintance was taken with
acute indigestion. She Immediately
went upstairs, where she would be
alone, and began crawling about the
floor on her hands and knees, as a
baby creeps. She did this with no
particular haste, but kept steadily at
it for fully ten minutes. At the end
of ten minutes she was greatly re-
lieved. She told me that the remedy
was one she had learned from her
grandmother. 1t is probably success
full, because the position of the body
and the accompanying gentle exer-
else are instrumental in bringing an
extra supply of blood to the stom-
ach, and thereby digesting the food
which is giving trouble.
A hot-water bag placed high up on
the stomach will also bring the blood
to the desired spot and digest trouble
some foods. Gentle massage will fire.
quently do the same.
For intestinal indigestion olive oil
is excellent. Too much must not be
taken at once or the oil itself will
prove indigestible. A teaspoonful of
olive oil three times a day would be
the correct amount. If it is difficult
to take, mix the oil with grape juice
by placing in a glass two teaspoon
fuls of the grape juice, then one of
oil, and finally two more of grape
juice. Castor oil will also relieve in
testinal indigestion. Take an empty
bottle that will hold about five ounces
and fill it half full of hot milk; add to
this tablespoonful of castor oil.
Cork the bottle and shake thoroughly
for a few minutes. This forms an
emulsion, and one barely knows that
the liquid contains oil.
For all very acute attacks of in
digestion physician should certainly
be consulted at once. The suggested
remedies are only for mild cases or
the relief of severe attacks until the
doctor arrives-a sort of first aid to
the injured"
Of course, one must not be queer"
about diet. There is happy medium
which falls far short of the crank.
But one must exercise reasonable
care in eating if subject to indiges-
ton. Guard against, as far as pos
sible, the rich midnight spreads, late
coffee and other stimulant drinking,
etc. The rich, greasy foods, lobster
salads, etc, are harmful whereas
light sponge cake, fruit. hot choco-
late and the like are harmless and
nourishing. If you are in the habit
of giving spreads, why not set the
example of giving healthful and rea-
sonable ones? Make a slight study
of the value and effects of the diff
ferent foods and get back your good
complexion and healthy, happy
spirits.

According to a recent bulletin from
the u. S. Department of Agriculture
at Washington, d. c., the balanced
ration of many Americans today is
made up something as follows: Bread,
butter, eggs, meat and fish, potatoes,
patent medicine laxatives.
Many Americans customarily suffer
from one of the following complaints /:
Indigestion, constipation, rheumatism.
A simple change of the daily menu
might go long way to remedy these
ailments. The department specialist
recommends a change to a menu
more in keeping with natures plan,
something as follows: Bread, butter,
fruit, vegetables, greens, meat, fish,
He recommends that every family
provide diet of fruit and vegetables
for every day in the year. This
would do much to eliminate the need
for patent medicine laxatives that fig
ure so prominently in many Ameri-
cans bill of fare. If every home kept
on hand enough canned products so
that there might be a can of fruits,
a can of greens and a can of vege-
tables for every day during the win
ter, there would be little need for the
laxatives now so regularly purchased
from the corner drug store. There
would also be great economy in the
substitution of an inexpensive food for
more expensive ones.
More home canning, done at the
proper season, would enable the aver
age family always to have the proper
quantity of canned products, and
would save an astonishing amount of
food that goes to waste every year.
1t is estimated that over so per cent
of all the vegetables, greens, fruit,
and berries that grow in this coun-
try, go to waste and are actually lost
TO those who need them. This is sim
ply because housewives have not
learned to care for these surplus pro-
ducts efficiently and to make them
available for the winter months by
canning.
That home canning may reduce the
cost of living is not generally appre-
ciated. Even those who are accus-
toned to use supply Of canned goods

upon just such sensible theories. That
| is why it is generally wise to OBJ
serve most social customs, even
though one is inclined to scott at
| their social aspect. Enough is
enough, and when one begins to feel
uncomfortable while eating he or she
has taken more than enough. One
should satisfy the cravings of the in
ner man, but not ov=rSatisfy him. 1t
were best to let him remain tiny
bit hungry. If you were employed
at a sweatshop, where you were given
thirty garments a day to sew upon,
and it was possible to do only twenty
well, you would be compelled to
slight some of the garments, the work
would suffer. And so, when your
stomach is given more work than is
reasonable, it is obliged to look to
quantity rather than quality, and you
suffer.
Fourth, aicOnoI, tea and coffee re-
tard digestion seriously. They dilute
the food if taken with it and wash it
down before it is thoroughly masti-
Gated. Alcohol irritates the lining of
the stomach and tea mad coffee coun-

The fifth cause Is that of violent
emotions and melancholy. Melancholy
will give us Indigestion, indigestion
will give US melancholy. They are ap-
parently in league with each other.
There are two quotations that could
well be conspicuously placed in every
dining room in the land:
Eat, drink, and be merry and at
the other end of the room:
Better is the dinner of herbs,
where love is, than the stalled OK and
hatred Herewith"
Happiness is a beautifier, because
it encourages bodily functions; it
sends the blood racing merrily
through the veins; it makes the eyes
brighten, the cheeks glow, the heart
sing And so, at mealtime be merry.
