YOUR BABY AND MINE
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED

Bed wetting IS n Of the most
unpleasant habits. 1t IS one OF
the hardest habits TO break because
it takes place during the sleep and
the child is really not to be blamed
for it. Il comes perhaps oftenest
TO children who are not trained early
10 control the bladder during the
day time; to Y children and to
children with some kidney trouble.
Since it is impossible always TO
know what causes It, one can see
easily hat it would be hardly just
to the child 10 punish him for What
may be no fault of his.
The best way TO cure the habit is
through right training. There are
several things one may do and TO
be safe one may as well do all Of
them in the hopes that one or more
may work.
II the child has a tendency TO
acid urine this should be corrected
through the diet. After four o'clock
It is well not to give any liquids.
Thus the milk of his night meal can
be utilized in cooking the cereal, and
no water or soup be taken at this
time.
When the child goes to bed sponge

It's an even fight, she concludes,
with man and woman on equal
terms.
1T is not a mans world" she
explains. IF a woman has equal
determination, she has as good a
chance to win as has a man.
But she must have patience and
the ability to keep the one goal in
view. Neither man nor woman has
the right to expect C without
effort, which may extend through
years"
Feminine Throughout
The forceful personality of San
Francisco's assistant city attorney
confirms this opinion. Il Schwab's
attire is essentially feminine. Her
brown hair is bobbed. Yet her fea-
lures display that enviable char
a%cteristic of aggressiveness that has
brought her up to her present
height.
From childhood, she hoped for
succAss as an attorney. Now that

with cold water, making special ef-
fort at the base of the spine. Sug-
gest TO the child that these nerves
are being walked up so that they
will help him to keep from wetting
the bed. This gives him as he goes
to sleep the picture OF faithful little
nerves staying awake on the job
while he sleeps. s
Take the child up at about ten
O'Clock and If necessary set an
alarm and get Up once more IN the
night. Later perhaps when he has
gained control and can wait unfit
he is taken up, this last hour may.
be stopped and the child will
learn TO go through the night.
It is essential to success at night
that the child have perfect control
of himself in the daytime.
In order to strengthen this habit
a system of rewards for dry
nights is better than any punish<
ment.

MARRIAGE NO LONGER ENDS
WOMAN'S EDUCATION
BY ARIA HALE
NEA Service Writer

NEW YORK,-"The best school
girl today Is the married woman"
says Margaret Burton, national
educational director of the Y. w. C.
A..
Because a marriage license
doesn't make up for the lack of a
diploma" she says. 1.-The married
woman goes on with her education
because she knows 1t is the best way
to hold her husband, regardless of
what beauty specialists say.
To-day the girl who marries a
man better educated than herself
does not repeatedly make the same
errors in English or display her
ignorance of the classics. She en-
rolls in English classes and brings
her intelligence to the level and
sometimes beyond that of her hus-
band.
Learns With Children
THE mother of college boys,
whose education was limited, does
not let ignorance widen the natural
breach between youth and maturity.
She follows a course of lessons in
current events two or three times
a week and speaks the language of
her c~ollege-bred children.
Women who give up their pro-
LESSONS for a matrimonial career,
who want to resume them when
their children are past the stage
where they need constant supervi-
sion, go back to school and brush
up in specialized work.
when the married woman faces
the necessity of supporting herself
indefinitely, she frequently realizes
the advantage of intensive training
and sets about getting It."
Train for Home
But not all OF them train for pro-
LESSONS outside the home. Miss Bur-
ton states.
I'm these days, many girls who
are expert stenographers and Sec
retaries, marry with nc working

Consider the female sea snipe.
Every rear is leap year for her. She
wins her own mate instead Of being
wooed.
The male snipe may try his best
to remain a bachelor, but sooner or
later he yields to the bold advances
of a persistent lady sea snipe who
knows a good thing when she sees
1t.
Generally he regrets his matri-
monial venture, naturalists tell us,
for he is compelled to do the heavy
work in building the nest and
Matching the eggs while his up-to-
date wife visits her friends and in
dulges in whatever is the sea snipe
equivalent for bridge. whist or
movie matinees.
All she has to do is to lay the
eggs, and that only twice a year.
Thus she has the leisure to develop
into quite a leisure class, or maybe
go In for the uplift of less privileged
sea snipe.
Nature may have been a bit hard
on the females of some species in
endowing them with the job OF per-
petuating the race, and then main
tanning it as well.
But she evens up somewhere along
the line. Whenever the sink gets
everlastingly full Of dishes to be
washed, whenever the beds seem
endlessly to be made, while there is
a whole eternity of sweeping to be
faced, just remember Mrs. Sea Snipe,
who tolls not. neither does she spin.
She is s~uspiciously akin to the
porch wren, now prevalent on many
seashore verandas.

Summer Foods
For Vacationists
Are Suggested

This is meant especially for those
housewives who live out in the coun-
try or suburbs and are beginning to
take In summer boarders.
But the information contained
here is just as beneficial to the said
summer boarder" and all others
who care to keep cool and refresh
ing during the hot spell.
1t is a story of food-food that
will not heat up the body any more
than it Is heated during summer;
food that will refresh and invigorate
instead. and hat will be acceptable
even to the most exacting of palates.
The person who lives in the city
most of the year, and goes out to the
country for a few weeks of rest and
quiet, wants, first of all, simple we'll
cooked food. The vacationist wants
a change from the heavy meat din
ners with their rich desserts, just as
he seeks peace from the hustle of
business life.
For these, therefore, 1 have dotted
down the following summer food
suggestions:
No need of a great variety of
dishes, but plenty of fresh vege-
tables. milk, cream and eggs. To
these may be added good bread, but
ter and coffee that is really coffee.
Salad Daily
Once a day at least a salad should
be served. For luncheon or supper
1t may be made of the vegetables
left from dinner the day before.
When cooking beans or peas. it is
we'll to take out a few, also one OF
two potatoes, before these have had
any butter or sauce added. and put
them away in a cold place to use for
salads.
Corn oil is an excellent oil to use
instead of olive oil, which is much
more expensive. Be sure TO get the

ed in the boy who was to become
Americas best loved writer of poems
From her gentle features, 1t has been
established, he took his cast of coun-
tenance. And his great love OF ma
ture was also a heritage from his
mother.
Unlike most women, particularly
of that day, she was unafraid OF the
elements. One of her greatest joys
was to watch a thunderstorm from
it's very midst. She never fled to
cover, but when the first fork of
lightning flashed she went to the
most exposed place, to get a full view
of the majestic storm.

SAN FRANCISCO,-The ladder of
success to Mrs. Mary Rantz Schwab,
has been a se.ses of struggles and
discouragements all the way UP from
poverty.
Now, we'll on the way in her up
ward climb to a set goal, Mrs.
Schwab sits at her desk as the first
woman assistant city attorney of
San Francisco and expounds this les
son from her experience:
"Petticoats don't get in the way Of
a woman who really wants to sue
ceed."
Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-07-20

she has tasted of it, she intends to
continue her way upward in the law,
with the hope ultimately to perform
some big social service.
Mrs. SchWab's yearning to become
of real social service to humanity
springs from her own bitter expe-
riences since she was a tot of 4.
At that age she recalls fleeing
Russian persecution, under her IA
Tiers care, abandoning wealth and
property. America, the promised
land, opened to them after months
of privation and hardship. and the
Rantz family settled in Philadelphia.
Family Support
But the promise of America was
far from becoming a realization.
Mary had to go out selling papers TO
add to her fathers meager income.
As she grew older, and moved to
Peoria, ILL.,, she was destined to help
support a large family, even before
she could enter upon higher educa-
ton.
At Is, Mary left business school
as a bookkeeper and obtained work
in a grocery for SIS a week. That
hardly helped keep the wolf from
the door. But, after a night course
in stenography, she was able to find
a better position at $40 a week.
Thus she climbed slowly, courage
ously and by sheer grit to the point
at which she was able to struggle
through a night law course, while
she worked by day.
But this was not until she had
come to San Francisco as a stenog-
rapher, had married Rudolph
Schwab in 1911 and had lost her
husband by death six years later.
Now, as first woman ever to hold
the position she Is in, Mrs. Schwah
considers herself at last started on
her way to success.

1t is not at all necessary to serve
a cooked dressing. Many persons do
not care for mayonnaise. Sometimes
cream sours. and a good use for it is
in a cooked salad dressing.

A custard made with the yolks of
three eggs to a pint of milk, and
cooked carefully so hat when cold
it is like satin, served in glasses is as
good a dessert as one could wish and
one which the children may have
without question. On top of the
glass may be served a spoonful of
whipped cream, sweetened and flaw
orC<, or a bit of meringue made with
the whites of the eggs.
Cream Soups
A good way to use milk and vege-
tables is in aktn cream soups.
Cook the vegetable, or reheat it if it
is left from the previous meal, then
rub through a sieve. Add this to the
hot milk, thickened with butter and
flour season well and garnish with
some of the vegetables used in maxi
ing the soup.
For instance. save out a few peas.
If it is a pea soup, or a few aspara-
gus tips If it is asparagus. A potato
soup offers a chance to use leftover
mashed potatoes. With the potatoes
may be combined turnips which have
been hpiled and mashed.
For supper, a cream soup, hot bis
cults, homemade relish, a salad and
a generous piece of homemade layer
cake would be relished and appre-
ciated by everyone.
On chilly nights serve a chowder
made of fish or corn.
