zach OF US. more or less, feels
X the financIal strain OF these
war times. Aad the question
in every ones mind just now
is, How can ], who must stay at
home, add to tbs family income?"
One mother. Who is flying a ser
vice flag with two stars from her
front window, has solved this prob
lem by putting her spare room"
to work. When both boys were at
home they slept together in one
bedroom. The money they con-
tributed for the family upkeep she
no longer receives. but, she still
has the room in which they slept.
She went to tine principal OF
nearby school aid asked him to
tack a little notice on the bulletin
board stating she had a room TO let
which would be decorated to suit
the occupant. A young man who
recently came to teach chemistry
was delighted tc learn that he could
get a room decorated to his liking,
and he signed a lease for six
months.
He asked that cilcloth be put on
the floor and that a washable paper
be put on the walls.
The room contained, of course, a
bed, dresser. a small table and a
couple of chairs. He was delighted
to find no "abominable window
curtains" or other effeminate fix
ings. as he remarked 1t was just
what he wanted-a combination
study and bedroom.
1t cost SIS to put the room into
condition and g. rented for SO
per week. This included no meals.
He asked the woman to provide
his breakfast alter a while. and
having to cook breakfast for her
self and daughter. who went to
business, she found il no great
hardship to cook a little extra for
him.
For 80 cents she gave a little
fruit, dish Of oatmeal with top
milk, two slices OF buttered toast
and a cup of coffee.
Breakfast. of course. varied. but
she always figured that the raw
food must not cost over 10 cents.
And for fuel and service and her
ability to present suitable combina-
tions she received the difference be-
tween 10 and 80 "ents.
Every one Cannot decorate a
room to the eNa.,t liking OF its oc-
cupant, but thSrH are a number of
staple combinations which the anna
teur decorator world do well to Sc
lect from.

you felt like poor Kinf Midas. who
did want gold but who didn't want
his food and everything else turned
to gold. What makes your case all
the worse is that your gold turns
out to be only sounding brass, after
all.
Now these two kinds Of singers
illustrate very we'll the two kinds
OF advisers-those who can and
won't, and those who can't but will.
Did you ever meet a person who
had tried successfully to be a star,
a painter, a sculptor. an author. a
business manager. a Wall street
broker-and who had fallen from
all OF these dizzy heights into a
ten-dollar-a-week position as book
keeper-who did not begin all his
sentences with Now let me tell you

itself?
II you mention the weather, he is
a weather prophet. II you don't
feel well, he at once becomes that
combination only met with in small
country towns. a drug store and a
consulting physician. But worst OF
all, IL a question OF ethics arises,
this would-be adviser at once dem
onstrates that he has swallowed
the whole moral decaloRue, and he
now disgorges il for your edifica-
ton.
Perplexities only arise, anyway,
because there are so many different
ways OF looking at a thing, and so
many things to consider that you
can't coordinate them into a solid
working whole. Now this adviser
doesn't know anything about all
these different viewpoints and con
ditions. but like risky kitten he
jumps into your alrea-y badly tan
gIed skein OF circumstances and
only makes more snarls.
For these chronic advisers are al
most sure to be people to whom all
the experiences OF life must come
like so many pills OF exactly the
same size and shape. neatly packed
in a bOx-or they reject them.
But those people who could give
advice. who have gone ahead and
pioneered the way. who are sad and
quiet and wise with eNperience-too
wise TO run up the red flag OF dan
ger ahead, too overcome with the
biRness OF life to lay IL on a table
and measure II with a measuring
line. too busy living to drag civ
ing" into a lecture room-what pit
falls they might point out. what
calAmities they might avert, II only

rocker or a few Comfy sofa pillows.
The general rules for amateur
decorators to follow are few and
simple. II your walls are plain
solid color, the hangings and floor
coverings may have a design. Then
take any one color OF your floor
covering and make the pin cushion
or the sofa pillow OF this color. Or,
IL you are using cretonne, buy
enough OF this to use in making
some OF the lit lie extras.
The design in the hangings and
in the floor covering must be quite
similar. otherwise the room will
look confused" find the two
toned rugs, OF the same color as the
plain wall covering, very sa-isfac-
tory.
The floor may be vanished with
some guaranteed not-to-mar varnish,
and several small rugs used instead
OF one large one.
II. however, You like a striped or
figured vail paper. have plain

Do You Rub the Baby's Back?

applying to the right sources one
may obtain reliable information as
to feeding. bathing and otherwise
caring for the infantile body. But
In spite OF this scientific regimen
the delicate poise of the life line
is often slightly disturbed. Again,
let il be said that gently manipula-
ting the vertebral region is one Of
the very best methods of restoring
the equilibrium.
Try a little OF this treatment on
yourself. When you are fatigued
or threatened with a cold or some
what "choked up" by abdominal
disturbances, ask a member of
your family to give you a five
minute spinal treatment, as sug-
gested for the child, only more Wig
orous.
Observe the quick release of the
tension, the increased depth and
freedom Of respiration and the add
ed warmth and comfort all over
the bOdy-and thus you may under
stand better what is meant here.
So IL Is especially with the case
OF the child. He will sleep more
normally, rest more completely, tIi-
gest his food better, grow faster
and show evidences OF evener dis
position II you attend regularly to
his back as suggested.
Children may be taught early the
fine art of rubbing their own backs,
after bathing, till they are dry and
red. This the major nerves are
kept in their maximum OF strength
and Rlth-giving power. Thus
there Is set up a positive defense
against such enemies as fear, IA
tigue and incipient colds and heat
prostrstions. Indeed, this exercise
becomes a self-administered tonic
TO the entire system.
By all means, scratch your baby's
back regularly: learn 10 scratch
your own, teach others. especially
the young, how to scratch theirs,
and thus add to the sum-total Of
human health and happiness.

by softly patting him up ana

duce much of the petty discontinue
which causes crying or wakefulness.
One ounce Of this soothing manipu-
lation OF the back OF the child is
worth ten ounces OF old-fashiOned
spanking to make him good"
The so-caIied life line is really a
matter Of equipoise, Of heart action,
arteriaI pressure and blood distri-
button. And all of this is governed
chiefly by a system OF nerves cen
tering in the spinal column. When
the infant is slightly ovsTfed. or
partakes OF the wrong dNt. or is
not properly clothed, or Is allowed
10 become chilled after the bath-in
all such cases the little stomach Is
retarded in its functions, the breath
ing Is disturbed and the entire bod
lily tone is lowered.
The nerves which govern these
situations are likewise sluggish and
sensitive spots develop along the
vsrtebrae. Now is the time to mas
sage the bAby's back rhythmically.
with the palms and soft ends OF the
fingers.
This discussion is not to be con-
strued as a brief for more chiroprac-
ties, orthopedics, osteopathy or any
other professional treatment, but a
plea for the freer use OF an ad-
mixture of common sense and easily
acquired knowledge as to the care
OF q chiId's health and the preserva-
tion Of our own bodily comfort.
To dope an infant child with
medicine is a direct admission OF
our ignorance, carelessness or neg
llgenes, or all three OF these. By
