Don't Live
on Your
Nerves

NJ ANY young girls when they first
- start to work find out after q
FEW months time that they are living
on their nerves: their expression 10
that they are "all keyed up" This
feeling Is brought on by close confine-
nent and an inability to adapt one
self to new conditions Immediately.
Before long some Of these girls find
themselves In the bad habit OF taking
druEs: aspirin stands high In tho
list. A small amount taken at long
intervals might not work serious
harm. but soon they look upon aspir-
IN as their best friend Surely this
habit leads to the taking Of aspirin
IN great doses. or after a while they
lcok around for something stronger.
When aspirin fails to do its work
some look to morphia or to other
harmful drugs.
There 10 no more need to live on
ones nerves while working than there
Is In keeping house or doing other
work. II YOU find that your work Is
telling on your nerves take vaca-
ton. II YOU are unable to afford
vacation increase the amount OF sleep
you ara getting. though you have to
limit your social doings to week ends.
You owe yourself more than you do
society and friends. Re sure to get
Your quota OF fresh air II you live
too far away to walk to business In
the morning or YOU ind the heat too
oppressive. then take your walk re-
turning from work in the evening or
after Your dinner.
Another important point to besr In
mind Is to take a light but nourishing
meal at noon. This means eat those
things that tone up your nerves and
muscles. and omit the cold drinks and
sweets, which may please your appe-
tite but irritate the nerves when
taken In large quantities. The SEN
sible CIR! spends her money on
good bowl OF soup and n refreshing
salad. which Is as sustaining as 1t Is
refreshing.
Fancy cakes and iced drinks are re-
freshing but not nourishing. for they
excite the nerves. They are poor
substitute for nourishing food so nec-
essary to the upkeep OF the body.
Read healthy out-of-door books.
Think healthy thoughts OF country,
of flowers and fields. though you only
see them once in a great while. These
natural ways OF auieting nerves and
body are so much more natural than
artificial stimulants that In Il short
time you will abhor the latter.

How to
Understand
Your Baby
By Mrs. Mary Barnsfather.

By Mrs. Mary Barnsfather.
THE most difficult problems many
4 mothers have to confront Is to
know their children. 1t was no less
. man than Pythagoras who taught
man ''Know thyself." This impera-
tive has been supplemented by mod
ern educators with the one Mother,
know thy child" The sooner this
imperative Is recognized the better is
the condition for both mother and
child. There are many important
principles to be recognized In the
lower animal kingdom: one Of the
best OF these Is the principle Of self
help. A. soon as a bird or baby Is
able to move about his mother tries
him out. making him fly or walk
about and hunt for his food.
The tragedy that has happened to
Froebel's teaching of interesting chill
dren. 10 often carried to a point
OF foolish coddling. So many children
are pampered and amused these days
that they have no idea and desire to
help themselves.
r
John Dewey was one Of the first Of
our great American psychologists to
teach that helping the child means
more than to amuse him--he must DO
taught to help himself. He teaches
that q child's environment is small
compared to the possibilities that are
dormant within, the bud waiting i'm
patiently to burst into flower. Too
much emphasis has been laid on the
ehtlu's environment. and as result

The secret Of beauty lies in our

GOVERNMENT cHEcKREiN

Bradstreet's Review
-Bradstreet's tomor-

New York. Dec. 7.-Bradstreets tomor
row will say:
Government acquisitions and expendi-
lures for all sorts of military supplies
are at an unprecedented height; trans
portation routes are under unexampled
strain and increasing stress is being laid
upon the necessity for curtailing non
essential industries to allow of full sup
plies Of fuel and raw materials for war
purposes. There is therefore increasing
evidence OF speeding up on the so-called
war lines accompanied by the presence Of
a governmental checkrein upon activities
in others.
Incidentally scarcity Of fuel or raw ma
terials or the working out Of other pro-
cesses making for closer readjustments
to a war basis tend to restrict movements
in various ways. Trade in civilian sup
plies is still large but there appears to be
a concentration upon foods and wearing
apparel to an extent not hitherto seen.
