WHAT Are your

Fourth of July like Christmas, is
la date for all Of us to put among
the real seasons that are to be OBJ
served. It is a gracious thing to
remember anniversaries in the home,
or among friends. 1t is Christmas
duty as we'll as pleasure to remem-
Der the birth Of the Saviour of all
who will accept His redemption, and
it is patriotic thing to lay aside
the toll and stress of the year and
celebrate this nations greatest ami
versary. Sometimes when meet
readers of this page they tell me OF
things I've asked them to memo
rize. These gems of thought are
priceless. The Good Book says,
Whatsoever a man thinketh in his
"Out of the abundance of the heart
the mouth speaketh."
Consequently, If your heart Is full
of good things, the evil that may sur
round you is harmless to affect your
destiny. Nobody knows more truly
than | do how unpleasant it is to
be the object Of envy, malice and
the venom of narrow minds, but pa
thence is surely rewarded, and the
day of retribution is sure to come.
God does not put any of his children
in a place where his arm and coun-
sci is not sufficient for their trials.
/ do not say that a man is always
a Christian because he is a patriot,
but I do say that Christian Is more
to be depended on in times Of stress
than the man whose anchor is not
securely cast Shakespeare makes
Cardinal Woolsey say, that he had
served his earthly sovereign better
than his God. and he deserved his
doom.
Just now our country is in tur-
moil, politics are mixed with every
thing, propaganda has become fine
art, the very stories that one reads
while resting at noon, are artfully
colored to influence the reader for
Ireland. Germany or Socialism. The
conventions for presidential nomina-
tions were mines and pitfalls, there
were barrels of money and the more
men talked the more they enmesh-
ed themselves in promises or plans
for the wirepullers. And when the
whole matter is settled 1t will be
well for thinking men and women to
ask themselves this question: Wf1l

The fact is that often the nom

AS the habits and conditions Of

their food should be adapted to their

Too much food is as bad as too

House CIeaninu

Many of the common time-honored
methods Of house cleaning are
wrong in principle and faulty in prac-
tlce. Dry sweeping and busting are
often worse than useless. Scrubbing
with soap and water, wiping with
damp cloths, and thorough pro-
longed airing are Of decided value.
Vacuum cleaners are very useful but
7 their use is not within reach of
everybody ~
In busting, a damp rag should be
used, subsequently washing the rag
out in warm soap suds. Some sur
faces such as walls, furniture, metal
beds, doors and other woodwork may
advantageously be wiped off with a
rag moistened with turpentine, kero-
sene or parafine oil.
Nothing can approach sunlight,
combined with airing, for a simple,
efficacious disinfectant. 1t is, there
fore, good plan to place clothing,
blankets, rugs, draperies and similar
goods in the open air in the sunlight,
beating and brushing out the dust
before returning them to their place
in the house.
A can of paint for use in the kitcbe en-
and other places where the wood
work and walls are much subject to
wear, and perhaps a coat of white
wash in the cellar, will go long
ways to give the finishing touches
to the house cleaning. Clean up and
paint up Is a very useful slogan.

Vegetables and fruits are now con-
sidered a necessary part Of the diet
of the child. The reasons are many,
but most Of them may be summed
up by saying that they furnish ma
terial needed to form bone and tissue
and to regulate body processe. The
mild acids which some of them con-
tain help to prevent constipation;
so, too, does the cellulose or fiber.
especially when 1t is raw, though it's
value for this purpose may have been
exaggerated in popular literature.
Green vegetables are also valu-
able means of introducing into the
diet mineral matters, particularly
iron, in a form in which the body
can utilize them. Even at city prices
green vegetables have been shown to
be an economical source of iron. Leaf
vegetables, like spinach, beet greens,
kale, ETC., have recently been found
to contain some of the growth-pro-
noting substances that are found In
milk.

Health Advice,
By Uncle Sam, NJ. D.
Snr11nar ia Near

Before very long, if this summer
is to be at all severe, cases of sun
stroke and heat-exhaustion may be
expected. Because of the fact that
physician is not always available,
it is well to know what to do in the
nature of first aid
There is always danger of mis-
taking sunstroke for heat-exhaus-
ton, the skin is very hot and dry,
and there is usually a temperature
Of over 103 degrees Fahrenheit. In
heat-exhaustion the skin is moist
and clammy. the temperature is
lower and may even be subnormal,
and the patient may not be uncon-
scious.
Sunstroke
Sunstroke is very dangerous, and
every effort should be made to get
a physician, but first aid should not
be neglected.s Remove the patient
to cool place, and, in the mean
by cold baths, even playing hose
on the sufferer. Apply ice or cold
congresses to the head and chest.
II 1t is possible, place the patient
in bathtub Of cold water. If this
is done, the body should be rubbed
|prevent shock. When consciousness
is restored, let the patient drink
freely of cold water Discontinue
the cold applications to the body UNI
less the temperature begins to rise
again.
Heat-Exhaustion
In heat-exhaustion, stimulants,
rather than cold applications, are
needed. Administer aromatic spirits
Of ammonia, coffee, tea or whisky
well diluted. The object here is 70
restore the enfeebled circulation.
Sunstrokes and heat-exhaustion
usually come when the fatigued
person is exposed to the sun on hot
days, although heat-exhaustion is
common indoors, under almost any
circumstances where one may be-
come oVerheated
Avoid the direct rays Of the sum-
mer sun as much as possible during
the heat of the day. Seek the shady
side of the street and wear a hat
that will protect the head from the
sun. Persons feeling themselves be-
coming overheated may often avoid

Give the Growing Child Plenty Of
Vegetables, Necessary to Health

The uses of fruits In the diet are
much the same as those of green veg
etables, though, unlike most vege-
tables, they have q considerable per-
centage Of sugar, especially when
they are dried and sugar is a quick
absorbed fuel food. Like vege-
tables, they have value because they
contribute some Of the nitrogen re-
quired for tissue building and repair,
and some energy, food specialists of
the United States department of agri-
culture say. However, they are val
liable chiefly because they supply
Notwithstanding and body-regulat-
ing substances and\also mineral mat
ter needed for bone and for many
other purposes. The quantity of
these materials in fruits and vege-
tables is small, 1t is true, but large
in comparison with the amount in
many other common foods.

Combination Of Food Necessary in
Order to Maintain Good Health

Much Of the waste may be avoided
by careful planning so as to pro-
vide g. comfortable and appetizing
meal in sufficient amount, but with
out excess.
If strict economy is necessary,
the dearer cuts of meat and the more
expensive fruits and vegetables
should be avoided. With reasonable
care in cooking and serving, pleas
ing and varied diet can be furnished
at moderate cost. 1t should not be
forgotten that the real cheapness or
dearness of a food material depends
not only on it's market price, but
also on the cost Of it's digestible
nutrients. 1t should always be re-
membered that "the ideal diet is that
Communication of foods which, while
imposing the least burden on the
body, supplies it with exactly suffi-
cient material to meet its wants."
and that any disregard Of such a
standard must inevitably prevent the
best development of our powers.
