Home Nursing
KKA AIRY was a nervous child from

NE AIRY was a nervous child from
lV the day she was born. The kind
of a baby who starts at every
sound, cries heartbrokenly when a door
slams or unwanted noise troubles her,
and whose lip trembles when stranger
J look at her.
Mary did not overcome this nervous
ness as she grew older.
Her mother was placid soul without,
as she said, " nerve in her body"
Her father was always too busy to be
nervous and of brothers and sisters,
Mary had none.
Mary was afraid in the dark.
Her mother tried good-naturedly, but
unseeingly, to help the little girl con-
auer the feeling. She would send her
upstairs in the dark for her fathers
slippers until she realized that it was
absolute agony and torture OF mind for
the child to go alone into dark room.
Mary would fly down stairs as if
some one were chasing her, white Tipped
and trembling, to weep tears OF shame
and modification because she WAS
afraid in the dark.
Gloomy tales of some one, similarly
afflicted, who had been sent into a
dark room once too often and who had
come out babbling foolishly because a
mental tension had snapped" disturbed
her mother, and at length Mary's in
trinity ceased to be the joke of the
family.
Mary took life too seriously to pre-
tend. She was an honest little girl
and she was frightened in the dark.
Mary was also afraid of electric
storms, in fact any kind of storms.
cbop Of L
nesses as she learned by association
with other children that they were moi
afraid of the dark or storms. SO she
drew apart, felt sensitive about it ant
avoided people more and more.
All of this was excessively bad fol
Mary's health. She grew pale and
white and undernourished looking. By
the time her parents realized that
Mary's nervousness was not a laugh
ing matter, or something to shrug ones
shoulders over, Mary was spindlS
child in her teens and so nervous that
she had apparently little power of con
centration. Now and again Mary was
even thought to be subnormal.
Then came a doctor who understood
"a man who had had little nervous
daughter of his own. He scoffed at the
thought of treatments, diets and tonic.
diet, of course" he said, lis always
important Mary is the kind of chile
who picks at her food and if she does
eat a normal meal, probably fails tt
digest it. What she needs is to be dis
covered"
Mary's mother stared politely. Dis
coveredT she said.
Exactly. Get her interested il
something. Teach her to forget her
self. For Mary that is the secret key t.
happiness and normality. Let her ge
out with other children and exercise
strenuously. Get her interested in thu
word and let her forget Mary"
1t worked out. Little by little Mary
overcame her fears. Came time wher
Mary walked fearlessly up and dow
stairs in the dark and wondered why
she had ever been so nervous. For sht
in the neutrality-suspicious. of self Fol
Mary it opened up the way to goot
health-and new activity of blood anC

Way to Get

There is one simple, safe and sure
way that never fails to get rid of
blackheads, that is to dissolve them.
To do this get two ounces of calonite

little on hot, wet cloth-rub over
the blackheads briskly-wash the parts
and you will be surprised how the
blackheads have disappeared. Big
blackheads, little blackheads, no matter
where they are, simply dissolve and
