JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
Junior High School Gymnasium

Junior f1lSn SCnOOl Gymnasium
Some time ago there came unto
this city an innocent, hopeful, young
woman, namely Miss Patterson. The
new gymnasium teacher. who now
wastes time and energy trying to
teach the junior high school girls,
Col bless EN-, how to drill and
march.

been used to immortalize the new
army recruit and his mishaps, but

as we are, they would have been

long to write q poem clarifying
Miss Patterson's patience and I am
astoniched nigh OF death at her
ability to keep from laughing at US,
but then perhaps she has met with
something like this before.
i imagine a large room filled with
girls all frantically trying to tie
their shoes, fix their hair, swing on
the rings and do some strange sort
of dance that l hope was invented
by the Japanese for l hate to think
that possibly the Americans did it.
After forming two straight lines,
about as straight as a %corkscrew,
we mark time before marching.
Though we are supposed to step off
with the left foot it is a ARE oc-
casion when some dozen girls do not
use the right foot, refuse to move
at all or walk backwards. None of
the girls who l noticed could tell
the difference between right dress
and left or right face for that matter
I usually forget myself. The three
girls near the head of the line man.

keep about five steps in front of the
rest of the line. Moreover, no one
seems able to stop when the COM
mand is given. I would like to call
attention to the fact that while doing

1t Is of more Importance for the
privileges 1t gives. Not only Is the
academy itself preeminent of its
type. but 1t Is situated in the midst

as old as Is our knowledge Of the
country. Early in the Revolutionary
war a fortress was built there, and
the reason of Benedict Arnold con-
sisted in his endeavor to deliver the

river views in the world. Further
more, it is only fifty miles from New

HAWAIIAN PAPAIA is

A native Hawaiian fruit offered to

substitute for the American canta-
loupe. 1t has the consistency of GER

latter is in the ripening stage and has
yellow meat. The fruit grows on
trees somewhat after the manner or
coconuts, with sometimes a dozen of
them, bell shaped, growing closely to-
gether.
Hawaiians accord the papaia an Inn
portant place in their domestic dietary
because of the beneficial qualities OF

papain, an intermediary between pep

HOW TO KEEP
WELL.
Or. FREDERICK r. GREEN
Editor Of "HEALTH"
l@. lgz.. western Newspaper OnIon.l
WHAT DOES BABY PUT III
ITS MOUTH?

1--WE baby almost anything and
~ it will at once try to put it into
its mouth, 1t may be piece of
fruit or stove poker, an old shoe or
bite Of candy. In 1t goes just the
same. When all. else fails. there's the
baby's own thumb. Apparently. Its
mouth must be kept full of some
thing.
This instructive tendency is not so
bad as long as the objects are too
large to swallow. But babies don't
discriminate, and too often small,
hard, sharp objects are not only put
into the mouth but either swallowed
or sucked down the windpipe or into
the lungs.
The variety of such objects is sur
prising. They may include lacks,
nails, screws. staples, nuts, safety
pins. open or closed; beans. toys, bones
and keys. Sometimes the child Is
seen to swallow the object. sometimes
it is missing after having been seen
in the baby's hands or mouth. and II Is
assumed that the child swallowed 1t.
The immediate effect Of such an ac-
cident depends on the size and shape
of the object, also on whether 1t goes
into the stomach or is drawn into
the lungs. If the object is large enough
to plug up the windpipe the child may
die in a few minutes from suffocation.
Beans. small nuts or round toys have
many times produced death before
they could be removed.
If the object is small, 1t may pass
through the Iarynx and lodge in one Of
the smaller air passages without caus-
ing any discomfort at the time. Doctor
Jackson of Philadelphia. who has had
wide experience In this sort of eases,
tells in a recent article of child Of
| fifteen months who got thin piece
of glass from a broken Christmas tree
II remained for four and one-half
months without causing any apparent
discomfort to the child.
On the other hand the child may be
taken with a persistent cough almost
as soon as the foreign body is drawn
/ INTO the iuESS. lie Nliiut IL Osu
enough to describe its sensations, may
complain of sharp pain near its
Adams apple or ir one or both ears
Swallowing may be painful and breath
ing difficult.
! The outcome depends on the object
swallowed and the point where it
lodges. The safest plan is to keep
all loose and harmful objects out of
/ the baby's reach. Don't give him any
thing to play with that can hurt him.
/ If the baby does swallow some harm
| full object. don't try to get it out your
self. You may push it farther down
and do great harm. Get a doctor and
have an X-ray picture taken. Pres
ent day methods and instruments
can remove most foreign bodies, even
from the lungs themselves.

DANGERS OF TALCUM
POWDER

A LMOST every mother, during the
"A first two years of her baby's life,
uses some form of toilet powder to
keep the skin dry, to prevent chaflng
and to make the baby more comfort
able, especially in hot weather. In
the early days corn starch or fine rice
powder was generally used. These,
like all vegetable powders were open
TO several objections, and they gradu-
ally gave way to talcum powders,
made of very finely pulverized tale.
These talcum powders have, during
the past few years, been replaced
largely by stearate of zinc as busting
powder for babies. During this period.
there has also been a remarkable in
crease in the number of accidents. with
serious and sometimes fatal results,
due to- the child accidentally inhaling
large amounts of the powder So COM
mon have these cases become, that
New York physician recently reported
II cases in his own practice.
The accidents all occurred In one of
two ways In using the busting pow
der, the top of the lid came of, pou,-
ing a large amount of the powder in

getting hold of the box, suddenly
turned it upside down. over its face,
as 1t would nursing bottle, The
shower of powder through the open
ings in the lid covered the baby's face.
In either case, some of the powder was
drawn into the throat and lungs.
In some cases, so much of the pow
der has been inhaled as to cause death
in "a hours. In others. the irritation
of the powder caused pneumonia.
which sometimes proved fatal in two to
three weeks. In other cases, in which
the amount of powder Inhaled was
small. the child gradually recovered.
In view of the numerous accidents in
the use of busting powders, several
precautions should be taken by moth
ers and nurses.
Be sure the cover of the busting box
is on tight. If ii has a sliding cover,
don't open the holes to their fullest ex-
tent. When applying the powder near
the baby's mouth and nose protect the
baby's face with a handkerchief or
towel. Don't let the baby have the
box itself and don't leave the powder
box where the child can get it.
