The Sort of Saving that Does Not Pay

There is a great deal of talk about tho
waste which constantly occurs in the
household. Housewives. some critics as
sert. do not understand the fundamental
principles of economy. Waste which
would never be tolerated in the running
Of big business goes on in the homes
OF the land every day.
Yet some housekeepcrs waste their
lives over petty economies-economies
which may save a few cents. but which
waste much time. health and strength.
In a big rubber factory little while
ago there was a chemist. who thought
that he could obtain sulphur. which is
needed in the manufa curing carried on
In this plant, from old rubber. The sui
phur used to cost few cents pound
The chemist finally perfected method
Of extracting sulphur from the old rub
Der and submitted his method to the
factory heads.
1t was a perfect method. The sulphur
was perfect sulphur. But the method
necessitated the expenditure of a couple
OF dollars for every pound of sulphur
saved. And the factory heads. remem-
bering that sulphur costs only few
cents a pound. refused to consider the
young mans plan.
1t Is just this sort of wasteful econ
omy which goes on in some households
and which should be condemned much
more theoretically than the actual waste
that occurs.
A certain housewife heard that drie6
potato parings made excellent kindling
for fires: and she spent an appreciate
amount Of time each day rescuing the
skins from oblivion and spreading them
out SO that they could dry properly.
The woman who knows how to dis
tinguish between real wastefulness ana
expenditures for legitimate needs Is the
really good housewife.

Your baby may have formed chronic
indigestion as a result of long con-
tinued overlooking. Perhaps you have
been feeding your child too often. Fat
indigestion is generally understood as
an inability to gain weight without
fat and an inability to gain weight
with it. The best manner of feeding
case of this character is not to
increase the fat in your child's food.
Use little more protein and what
extra sugar you use let 1t be maltese.
This is in case you cannot get breast
milk for your child. The breast milk
will save most of these cases. even the
severe ones IL used in time. II 1t is
possible for you to obtain a wet nurse

says that in, cases of this character,
whey mixtures are of no help except
sometimes in very young babies who

saint of half-legendary fame
brought popularity to each or the
three most usual of the jewel names
which include Catherine. Jasper, Cor
della, Garnet. Diamanta. Esmeralda
and Sapphira The fist of these
three saints was virgin martyr OF
Alexandria: the second was a sage of
the mysterious East; the third was a
maiden of Wales.
Saint Catherine, il is said, was of
noble birth. She lived at Alexandra.
in the fourth century. and her beauty
and wisdom attracted much atten-
ton. Among her suitors was the
pagan emperor, MaXentiuS, who
pressed his suit with ardor. Gather
inc repulsed him. and in return the
emperor condemned her to die be-
cause OF her religion. she was fas-
tened to nail studded wheels. and the
emperor gave the word that the
wheels he started. Then miracle
occurred: the wheels collapsed. and
Catherine fled in safety to the noun
tains CT Arabia. She was finally
overtaken by the emperors soldiers
and KILLED: but in response to her
prayer that no one should see her
body. angels carried her to Mt. Sinai
and buried her there.
So goes the story. And there is n
monster. at the foot of the noun
tain said to be built over the saints
shrine, and dedicated to her memory.
Whatever the truth and whatever the
legend in the stories that arc pre-
served of her life. the crusaders who
visited Mt Sinai took her name back
with them to Europe. and helped to
save perhaps Mary, of all feminine
names.

Among royal women who took the
name of the Aiexa ndrian maiden were
two expresses of Russia. The first, the
wife of Peter the Great. was a woman of

and married a young Swedish drs goon
After her husbands death she was cap
turcd by the Russians. and she entered
the service of Prince Menshkoff. While
she was working i'm the household of the
prince as servant she attracted the
attention of the emperor. and he subse-
qUently married her.
After Peters death Catherine ruled
Russia. and she showed herself a clever
and capable heir. Her act of greatest

In general. DIR. Bishops opinion is
that the drug should not be reduced
until the physical need for the drug
has been reduced, ard that general
physical tone is of more Importance
than the fact that the patient is TAX
ing a small amount of the drug.
This is certainly scientific and
human diagnosis and treatment of the
terrible slavery of morphine. The con-
clusiors reached by Dr. Bishop empha-
sizes what the average person is not
sufficiently aware of, that drug taking
becomes a disease and should be hand

think il cruel to cage birds. II the bird
Is we'll taken care of. however. there Is
no cruelty in aging II. The cruelty
comes in caging it. where it is utterly

its comfort and health
Canaries and MANY other swect-singing

utmost care in their treatment.
To begin with. the age should he
scaldcd every week or two. The perChes
should be scalded at least twice week.
and thoroughly dried in the sunshine or
other heat before they are returned to
the cage.
The bottom of the cage should he kept
covered with gravel or sand. This should
be changed every day or two. \ piece
Of paper can be spread over the cage
bottom under the sand to make it easier
to keep the cage clean.
Every day the water cup should be
washed and fresh water should be put
in it. The seed cup should be scGlded
once a week and filed at least every
other day. Once a week all seed should
be removed from it and thrown away. II
from day to day fresh seed has simply
been piled over the stale seed.
Twice a week at>least the bird should
have a treat Of lettuce. plantain. chick
Dry or some other green.
A piece of cuttlefsh should always
hang in the cage and bird mama is a
treat that all seed birds enjoy. 1t is said
to make them sing. but at any rate il
makes them happy.
Hang the birds cage in a room where
the family gathers from time to time. for
birds like companionship-human since
they cannot have Companionship of their
own kind. And talk to your birds. They
will be far happier and healthier il You
do. bird that has grown accustomed to
attention from its mistress will chirp
and call to her as soon as she comes into
the room where he hangs. And almost
any bird will soon become SO friendly
that he will peck at familiar finger
and allow a familiar hand to lift him
from his perch.
Every day the bird should have n bath
of cool. clean water. a glass bath hoUse
that fastens on the side of the cage is
perhaps the best sort OF bath. II keeps
the surrounding walls dry and all birds
like to battle In it.
Hang the cage where it will get sun oc-
casionally. but on very hot days he care
full not to let it get too hot. And hang

that birds like to have a pleasant out

Let the Children Work.

Why shouldn't children be in part
at least self-supporting?
Why should their parents feel
Obliged to toll and strive for them
for the first eighteen or twenty or
twenty-five years of their lives any
way?
It's a curious prejudice of Amerl-
cans. however. that children Oh an
classes-children of the clerk VIM
earns a meager income no less IMAM
the children OF the millionaire
should be nursed in the lap OF luxury
OIL of all proportion to the sort OIL
future that awaits them
The other day Mr.. E. P Claxton'
u. s. Commissioner of Educatioh'
launched the suggestion that chill
dren Of the schools might be maze
self-supporting. He was speaking
about the work of the National Plant,
Flower and Fruit Guild and drew at
tention to the fact that a single child
in many cases earns as much as 500
during the course of one summer
through the cooperation of this or
SANITATION, and, needless to say, this
500 is of great assistance TO the
family of the child.
The great difference between the
work done by these little farmers
and the child laborers of the fac
tories is that the work Of the little
school farmers is healthful. happy
20, n
cases is quite the reverse. The
amount of harm done has little rela-
ton TO the amount OF work accom-
plished. or even the hours of labor
involved. Many children work harder
than Grown-ups and put more real
application in what they are dong
only this enthusiasm and application
is applied to recreation and play
rather than to something that brings
material results.
When YOU come to think OF il, this idea
that childhood should be a period free
from Sainful occupation is a more or less
recent one. The grandparents of most
of us were partly self supporting even
in their childhood. and it is said that in
the carly days of our country's develop

he had a large ia mily of sons and dauSh-
tc,s who could combine with him and

MORPHINE AND ITS VICTIMS

We must not regard the drug takers
primarily as moral degenerates. While
desencracy often follows the use of
morphine and other habit-forming
drugs. it is by no means the instigator
of the habit. Such is the latest and
most humane advice on the subject.
In a paper on "Analysis of Narcotic
Drug Addiction" DIR. Ernest S. Bishop
says that he has come to the conclu
sion that the only safe definition OF
narcotic drug is that it is definite phys
ical disease condition, presenting constant
and definite physical symptoms and signs.
progressing through different stages of
development. These are explained, he
believes. by a mechanism of body pro-
lection against the action of narcotic
toxins, accompanied by a restraint of
bodily functions. often displaying de-
terioration and mental disorder not in
herent to the disease. but the result
of the poisoned condition of the blood.
anxiety. fear and suffering.
Clinical study of hundreds of cases
Of morphine addiction shows several
definite stages: % the stage of nor
NAL reaction to the effects of the drug:
(2) stage of increased capacity for
withstanding the effects of the drug;
go stage of beginning addiction: ()
stage of established addiction.
Most cases that appeal to medical
help are i'll the stage of developed ad
diction Developed or established ad-
diction means physical. bodily need for
the drug; that is. there are physical
suffering and incomplete functioning
without the daily dose, and apparent
ly normal efficiency IL the dose is sup
piled.
The pain inflicted by deprivation Of
the drug is spoken of medically as
withdrawal agonies," and experience
shows that the length Of time during
which a sufferer is free from these
is in exact proportion to the size of
his last dose. A small amount of drug
relieves 4 part of this Withdrawal

other proportion of it, and SO on until
the narcotic drug administered bal
ances in amount the extent of the
sufferers deprivation This is almost
mathematical in its workings.
In explaining the increased. capacity
of the addict in withstanding the eff
fects of the drug, DR.. Bishop advances
the following hypothesis: An antido-
body as protection( against its con-
plains the development of tolerance
and immunity in drug takers and ac-
counts for the violent physical with
drawal agony"
Now, TO discuss another side of the
subject, while the body is manufac-
turing a resistance to the drug. it Is
undergoing, as we'll. marked de-
terioration. Narcotics have the power
of limiting certain functions of the
body. They arrest metabolic processes.
that is. the building up and renewal
of the living cells. They limit the ac-
tivity of the glands and the muscles
which very seriously affects elimina-
ton. This results in an accumulation
of drugs, or the drug products, and
this is followed by autctoxemia-that
is, the poisoning of the body by toxin
generated in il. The seriousness Of this
determines the measure of the dis
ease.
Treatment depends on the handling
of these bodily changes and resolves
itself into rational care of the indi-
vidual case.
The drug is supplied as long as is
necessary and in such amounts as is
necessary in the maintenance of body
functions. This is done at SUFFICIENT
