A Little Salve.

This is one of a series of chats
we're broadcasting from this station
on the medicine cupboard. Today We
will take up petrolatum and old doc
ointment.
Petrolatum is the official name for
ordinary petroleum jelly. That's soft
pstrolatum. There is a hard petrola-
tum and liquid petrolatum-the lat
ter commonly known as paraffin oil
or purified mineral oil or American
or Russian oil. Petrolatum is a neu-
trail ointment base, softeninE, sooth-
ing, protective, harmless internally
or externally. We have described its
use in the first-aid dressing Of wounds
and burns. 1t should be kept in the
tube or in very small boxes, for
cleanliness.
old doc salve is fine all-around
salve for burns, sunburn and innu-
merabie irritations, itchings, smart
ings and infiammations which call for
a local medicament. Here is the
recipe for it: Zinc oxide, 80 grains;
boric acid. 90 grains; benzoin, 10
grains; oil of rosemary, D drops:
Ianolin, drains: petrolatum, enough
to make one ounce.
The salve should be put in col
lapsible tubes. OF course it doesn't
heal anything. No ointment or salve
does But it gives great satisfaction
as an all-around soothing salve and,
if nv expert opinion means anything
to you, 1 can tell you old doc salve
will go as far as anything can to

Electric Equipment.

The June bride is a very enthusi-
astic shopper for electrical equip
ment. Her enthusiasm is twofold,
whether she is conscious of it or not.
First, there is the sentimental appeal
of the great variety of table cooking
accessories now on the market. And,
then, every truly modern bride is
already acquainted with the youth
preserving possibilities in electric
power machinery for the household
work.
The electrical iron will probably
prove to be the most essential Of all
the electric appliances in the new
one. since, unlike the old-time sad
iron, which was heated on the range,
it does not need to be carried about
continually. The heavier the iron the
less pressure is required to accom-
plish it's work.
The best test for a satisfactory cleo
trio iron is that for heat distribu-
ton" Ask your dealer to Demon

Answering Back.

What am | to do TO make the child
stop answering back" | cannot even
say. Where is your sweater this morn
ing?' without his saying something
back"
Try not saying anything at all for
while. Keep so silent that he will
long for the sound of your voice.
IT has been too much for him and he
is defending himself against it, Your
words may be the words of prophesy,
but to him they are weariness and a
burden.
You are afraid if you do not con-
tinually admonish him that he will
make mistakes. Does your constant
poking keep him from them? Doesn't
j" make almost as many as the days
span will allow: And isn't the most
important one something that YOU
hadn't thought to tell him about at all?
In this job of child training the ad-
1nonition. Let your communications be
yea, yea. nay. nay: more cometh of
evil is priceless. a few weeks heed
ing of ii will bring peace TO many
stormy household.
Usually it is the adolescent child who
answers back. He wants To he self
controlling and dislikes being reminded
that he is not. His furious fire of re-
tort is merely defense against the
thought that he is not his own master.
He has to relieve his sore self-pride,
and asserting his individuality helps
him to believe that he is holding his
own in a struggle against the oppres-
sion of authority.
But before a child can answer back
something has to be said and the man
ner of saying pitches the tone of the
answer. 1t is the attitude behind the

thought and word that makes the
youngster talk back. some time and
somehow his Self-pride has been wound
ed and he has brooded over the affront
until he felt too much abused to stand
for another word. That accounts for
the unexpected dscourteSy of some of
the back talk.
The adolescent is a personality-a
prickly, dsconcerting personality that
has to be reckoned with. If he were
his Uncle Joseph, sixty-five years old
and crotchety and tart and given to
calling spade spade, you would have
to keep still and bear with him,
wouldn't you? The best you could hope
for would be to catch him in a pleasant
moment and get Il delicate hint neat
ly placed How you would congratu-
late yourself on your tact and diplo
macy. The adolscent needs just as much
of the same qualities to salve his sore
soul and is in far greater need of them
than old Uncle Joseph. who enjoys
making people wiggle.
Silence is a fine treatment for the
quick tongued child. He is never to
be slapped. You can readily see that
when it is his wounded self-esteem that
is making him talk disrespectfully,
slapping him and scolding him public
ly would only make the state worse
Try keeping silent until he asks. MON,
which sweater shall ! wear" and then
say in your best guest voice, I'm sure
| don't know. Which do you think?
What sort of day is it outside? Bet
ter take a sample of the air on the
north porch
You've salved his dignity and he will
be quite ready to wear the darned gray
sweater and save the whole one for
later on, as you wished. but as you
were too wise to say. Flatter his in
telligence bit and talk to him as
though you actually respected him, and
| have notion that he will return that
attitude of respect.

What Today Means to You
Taurus.
BY MARY BLAKE.

4du
Until noon. todays aspects favor
business, especially when related to
real estate, produce or mines. 1t is
also an auspicious time for disposing
of matters that have been hanging
fire" After noon. however, only rou-
tine and minor occupations should en-
gage your attention.
4 child born today will not be very
robust in youth but promises to de-
velop strength and health after the
adolescent period. Its character will
be somewhat weak. and it must be
taught at the very earliest period the
benefits of truth and courage. so that
in later life it will be healthy and
strong, not only physically but also
spiritually.
If today is your birthday, you are
generally care-free and easy-going.
Your friends are legion whilst the
going is good" They are. however,
hard to find when your affairs cease
to prosper and your condition fails to
flourish. You have n very genial dis
position and are kindly disposed to-
ward the world in general, and your
friends and associates in particular.
There is something lacking, however,
and YOU rarely attract TO yourself the
friend indeed who will prove friend
in need.
Living only in the present. without
taking thought of tomorrow, is the
pain OIL least resistance, anu YOU only
wake up when you realize that your
thriftlessness has landed you on the
rocks. This does not only apply to
money matters, but you are thriftless
in friendships, health and time. You
take too much for granted. You think
your present material circumstances
will continue unchanged, your friends
endure, your health never be ad-
versely affected, and that there will
always be time for everything.
Excessive anxiety over the future
is just as calamitous as having no
thought at all for tomorrow. There
is middle course which you can
adopt which will in the long run
prove beneficial not only to you but
to those around you. No one need be
niggardly either with time or money
in order to be thrifty of both.
Well known persons born on this
date are William G. Fargo, organizer
of the Wells-Fargo Express. John
Swinburne, physician; George w.
Tryon, conchologist; Gustave Cramer,
photographer; Col. Albert A. Pope,
manufacturer, and Emil Berliner, in
ventor.

RETURNS TO OLD HAuNTs

Last Saturday ]. B. Dugard, for
many years resident Of Glenwood
landed in the city and commenced look
ing around for his old friends of a
score of years ago.
Mr. .Dugard has for several years
devoted himself to interior house dec
Grating, and for the past three weeks
had been busy doing the interior finish
ing on the Lloyd home above Eagle,
and being so close to Glenwood he de-
cided to drop down and enjoy brief
visit with the boys he had not seen
since he left Glenwood in 1902. He
has lived in Denver since leaving here
% years ago, and he and his boys have
prospered, but nevertheless he is much
the same old Jim Dugard as we knew
him years ago.
