SOME INTERESTING FACTS.

Two neglected children ages and
Is years found They had no home
They were taken to the clinic and ex-
amined, later reported to the Child
Welfare Board One taken to- the
hospital for complete examination.
Home under supervision for three
months. Visits made in Indian home.
Conditions first found, children neg
lected and in poor condition PHYSICAL
ly. Cause, lack of a mothers care in
the home for years. The children
had not been taught clean living. Two
Of these children examined at the elm
ic. Later taken to the hospital for
treatment and for the removal of
tonsils and adenoids. Children in
good physical condition now.
A mother and child came to clinic,
and after examination Doctor decided
she was suspicious case, carrying
infection. Two home calls made be-
fore / was able to get that mother to
take the advise given her. The moth
er was told of the dangers and learn
ed her true condition, which others
had not told her. She then consented
to go to the doctor for examination
for herself and child. Her condition
was found to be in most infectious
and contagious stage. Then free
medicine was obtained from the State
Board of Health and the Doctor treat
ments were given without charge.
To-day she is past the infectious stage
and very much improved in her gen.
eral health.
Some of the strange things l have
heard making home calls. A child
past two years of age was nursing at
the mothers breast. When asked why
she was nursing the child she said,
("My neighbors told me that | would
have to nurse him until he cut all his
milk teeth") The poor young mother
was nothing more than shadow and
the child nervous and very much un-
derweight, pale and often sick. This
mother was glad to know that she
could stop nursing him and to learn
what she could do for the best of the
child and self.
When talking to another mother
about her children she said, "My chill
| dren were all good, strong babies, but
! when they got to the age of or 6
years old they got one disease after
another and since have been skinny"
Inspected the baby, which looked big
and strong, but very pale Inspected
/ the three other children finding them
underweight One had diseased tom
sis large neck glands and bad teeth;
the other two had large tonsils and
were mouth breathers, also had bad
teeth. The mother said she did not
understand about the notice sent home
by the school nurse and therefore did
not take the children to the doctor,
because they did not look sick. What
did this visit mean? These children
were taken to the doctor for examine
tion. Tonsils and adenoids were re-
moved. Their diet was corrected and
they are all on the gain.

Me-o-ny,

Many home calls to children under
nourished. Talked on why the chill
dren are undernourished. 1t is the
rural school child that is the greater
percent undernourished, because they
start out with little or no breakfast
except a cup of coffee and a dough-
nut or pancakes. Many mothers have
said "My children don't like milk or
that milk makes them sick" But they
forget that it was the doughnuts or
pancakes that makes him sick. Don't
blame the child if he has no appetite.
Think back-what was their breakfast
and what was the contents Of the cold

dinner pail? Then for supper fried
potatoes and left-overs from the din
ner the adults had at noon. One
mother said "they always had dinner
at noon, because she hated to get
dinner in the evening. She admitted
to me it was not right but she had
never thought of it as being the rea-
son why her children did not have an
appetite.

MOODS or BUYING
AND SELLING

Buying and selling requires two
different moods of thought.
Buying should be done in cold
blood,
Selling should be conducted with
enthusiasm. d
Men who specialize in buying, such
as purchasing agents. develop cold.
analytical. cautious, show me-. at
titude which statesmen often scoff
al.
But the purchasing agent needs
that cold, keen caution in his busi-
ness. 1, Is his protecuon-his armor
his defense against the salesman's
skill
Men who specialize In selling usu.
ally develop a high voltage enthu
siasm Tor their goods. FOR their
fouse,' and for things in general.
II is easy to sell 10 salesman
because he has never developed the
art of self.defensc against salesmen.
Likewise II is easy TO buy advan.
tageously from q professional byeyr
because he has never developed a
canny selling attack
When mans duties require him
both To buy and to sell, he should
learn how TO change his mental atti-
tude quickly 80 that he may buy
In cold.blood and sell with enthusi
assn. A department head In big
store needs 10 be- able To change
lis Mood at wih-onc moment he
must be the cold skeptical buyer Of
merchandise and the next moment
lie must be the eager. enthusiastic
seller OF the same goods.
II he Is unable to make this
lightning change" he Wi he too en-.
thuslastic when buying goods and
cyer.buy; and he will be too indIffer
cnt about selling goods and dispose
Of his stocks too slowly
Al least, such is said to have beer
the opinion of Marshall tNeld Il
whom usually Is rcribed credit 10
originating this meaty phrase "Buy
In eold.blood. scll with enthusiasm.
II Is an epigRm full of merehan
dlsing wisdom
