BEDTIME STORIES BY y. T"ossEe" sSss4s2

To this day Danny doesn't know what
happened then. terrible monster
came rushing down the road. 1t
made a noise something like that man
bird that Danny was used to. But
this wasn't in the air. No sir, this
wasn't in the air 1t was on the road.
Danny gave a little squeal of fright,
closed his eyes and then felt a great
rush of wind. and was sent rolling
over and over and over. He rolled
over and over until he dropped off on
the other side of the road and rolled
down the bank. When at last he ven
tured TO open his eyes and feel him
self all over to see II he was whole
which he was-the terrible monster
had disappeared.
OF course you can guess what had
happened An automobile had come
rushing along and gone right over
Danny without touching him. He
had been just lucky enough not to be
under the wheels. BY the time he got
himself picked up. and had brushed
his coat. he remembered the snake.
He looked about hastily. No sanke
was visible. You see that automobile
had come along just In time to
frighten that snake back. 1t had lost
all desire for Il Meadow Mouse dinner.
AS for Danny. he was thankful to
be alive. and he felt that he had had
n double escape-One from the snake
and the other from the automobile.

EVERYDAY QUESTIONS

also the patience of her friends? Her
husband Is completely devoted to her,
and never crosses her in respect TO
anything?
Would 1t be better for her in the
long run if he adopted more forcible
tactics instead of bearing with her
mood so patiently?
Does not grief which broadcasts it.
self unrestrainingly betray lack of
genuineness as well as of self control
and certainly of consideration for the
feelings of others?
Answer.-Yes, grief can be as selfish
as love. and those who nurse sorrow
to keep it warm frequently end by
treasuring it as if it were life's posi-
tive good. Such morbidness is largely
pathological. If it prevails in the case
you state it requires the combined
efforts Of the husband and the family
physician to break it's hold on the
patient. The husbands marked pas
sivity hinderS his wise handling OF
difficult case of pronounced tempera-
mental tendency plus touch of
hysteria.
The tie between mother and daugh-
ter is. as rule, unusually tender and
sympathetic. Yet If this mother died
in the grace and consolation of her re-
that faith, why should she discredit its
teachings by her behavior? Urge this
and other reasons for renewed hope
upon her with tact and patience. Re-
mind her Of the duty she owes to the
living who should not be sacrificed for
one who has forever passed beyond
the reach of her poor protection. Tell
her that If we never cease to love
those Whom we lose we can never lose
those whom we thus love.
Err on the side of consideration for
the mourner until she sees the dawn
In her dark sky. If affectionate ap-
peal and remonstrance fail. try a COM
plete change Of scene and fresh activi-
ties. Otherwise the lethargy which
irrational grief induces may Overtake
heart which at least shows its
capacity for great devotion and
loyalty.

HOW 1T STARTED
BY JEAN NEWTON.
"Mincing the Matter

There is no sense in mincing the
matter" or Let us not mince words
are familiar illusions in common
speech.
The expression IS very old one,
having a time -honored record Of use
in literature. It's first recorded use Is
in the authors preface of Cervantes'
Don QuiXote," where we find II was
so free with him as not to mince the
matter After the Spanish author it
found favor with Shakespeare, who
used 1t in the second act. first scene,
of Othello. as follows: They honesty
and love doth mince this matter"
Both writer's being of the same
period. the late sixteenth and early
seventeenth centuries, one In Spain
and the other in England. we are
justified in the belief that the express
sion was current at that time. Sub
sequently we have many examples of
its use in literature. by the British
poet William King, for instance, and
later by Jonathan Swift, the famous
satirist. In his Beasts Confession, ;"
published in 1882.
The use of the word "mincing. "
which literally means to chop. TO de
scribe the action of a person, goes
hack to the Old Testament. where we
find in Isiah 11.16 this reference:
Walk with stretched-forth necks
and wanton eyes, walking and mine
ing. as they GO"

What Do You Know About This ?

In an address delivered to the Amer
lean Public Health Association this
Summer, DIR. Livingston Farrand,
president of Cornell University, out
lined under 10 headings what every
intelligent person ought to know
about health.
|. He should have a knowledge of
the physiological basis for sound
health, such as regular and sufficient
exercise and proper elimination.
=. He should know the types and
amounts and proportions of the va
riOus food elements essential to the
proper nurture of the body.
3. He should have an acquaintance
with the principles of normal mental
action and the conditions underlying
the more common variations from
normal state of mind.
4. He should have Il general under
standing of the sex instinct in man
it's stages Of development. it's normal
expression and the values and penal
ties attaching to it.
He should have a knowledge of
the factors determining infection and
resistance and of the principles of
artificial immuniZatiOn in the case of
certain of the common infectious dis
eases.
6. He should have enough knowl-
edge of the causes and prevention OF
the degenerative. diseases to offer
prospect of passing through middle
life without n breakdown.
:. He should know and therefore
be armed against health hazards lurk
ing in the environment, such as pol
luted water and milk supply. conges-
tion in housing, poisonous dusts of
certain industries, infected soil, etc.
8. He should appreciate the neces-
Slty for frequent medical and dental
examination.
8. He should have an intelligent
basis for choosing wisely his medical
and dental advisers, and for realizing
that the modern practice of medicine
is grounded on science, and not on
mystery, fancy and tradition.
10. He should have IL knowledge of
the important health problems facing
the community of the methods of at
tacking those problems. and of the
results to be expected from intelligent
community action in the public health
field
1t seems to me that q person might
pass these 10 requirements and still
be uniformed i'll many matters per-
tanning to health. However, DR.. Far
rand probably intended the outline as
merely suggestive and not as Il syl-
labus. At any rate let us hope no one
will rush into print with the Outlines

given by the Farrandecalogue.

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
Heeding the Neighbors.

Mrs. j. F., jr.. writes
my 11.week old baby does not sleep
very much. / have him on patent
food and the clinic told me l should
change it, but every one else tells me
not to until cold weather The doctor
tells me one thing and every one else
tells me differently so / am asking you
what is the thing to do. He will be
4 months old in October. He won't
take orange juice or drink water, only
a little bit once in while. If l fix
his milk in boiled water is that enough
for him for the day? And should l
use barley or oatmeal water instead OF
plain Water?"
Answer.-First of all make up your
mind If you are going to rear your
baby according to the neighbors' ad-
vice or if you are going to follow the
directions of those who know how the
baby should be fed. There are al
kinds of ways in which a baby may
be fed and still grow and develop. for
it IS true that all babies cannot be fed
alike. But when you ask advice OF a
specialist. then you must follow that
advice, even if it doesn't coincide with
the way Mrs. Smith brought up
Johnny. You must have faith in your
adviser, or you might as well not get
the advice in the first place. This
seems like a sort of lecture, but I am
constantly being told how some one
else reared her baby and a
mothers efforts to do as some one
else does, even though her problems
and mode Of living may be utterly diff
ferent, is almost as pernicious as try
ing to keep up with the "Joneses"
financially.
The baby will be better on cows
milk than on any patent food. and
if fed rightly. almost every baby can
take cows milk successfully. It Is
time to change as the weather will
not be hot enough to affect the baby
now. Plain water Is all right to use
with whole milk and some sugar. l
am mailing you the feeding leafiet
which will show you how formulas
can be measured to baby's age and
weight. I am sure that when the
child is fed properly you will have
no further trouble with the sleep
ing proposition. The baby should
drink water unless he is getting
large amount in the formula.

other side of that road.
1t was just as Danny was trying to

he heard suspicious rustling in the
grass back of him. Danny had heard

didn't have to look to know what was
making that rustling. One of the

Then Danny took to his legs. There
was only one thing for him TO do now.
and that was TO run as fast and as
far as he could and as long as he
could, in the hope of finding some
place of safety where that snake
couldn't get at him. He thought of
the water in the river. but the snake
was between him and the water.
BY the time Danny had climbed up
the bank to the edge o. the road he
was feeling a little out # breath.
That road seemed a dreadful place TO
cross. You see. a Meadow Mouse
does hate TO come right out i'll the
open. and that was just as open as it
could be. But you know the only way
10 get on the other side of the road is
20 cross Il. To remain where he was
was TO invite himself to dinner with
that snake and furnish the dinner.
Danny didn't wait. He drew long
breath and started across that road
as fast as his little legs could move.

Here is an interesting way for the
amateur home decorator to achieve in
an early American room the effect Of
one Of the expensive new hand-blocked
wallpapers at small cost. This room
has plaster walls painted soft gray
ish blue, treated with shellac to sug
gest an antique patine. On them are
pasted at intervals little French fash
ion plates with stenciled borders of
green leaves.
The fireplace is quite in keeping
with the early American idea. 1t is
simple but well proportioned, and has
good color value in its red-bricked
hearth and painted Hessian andirons.
The woodwork in this room Is all
rich cream color. and the curtains are
blue-grounded chintZ patterned in
green and terra Gotta color.
The little hanging shelf Is of maple,
like the rest Of the furniture. and on
it are displayed several. fine pieces Of
bright Staffordshire ware.

My Neighbor Says:

When meat appears tough
add a tablespoon of vinegar to
the water or gravy in which it
is cooked. and simmer slowly.
BY using sOapy water when
making starch, clothes will have
glossy appearance and the
irons will be less likely to stick.
If you want candles to last
half as long again as usual try
the following plan: Take each
candle by the wick and give It
a good coating of white varnish.
Then put the candles away for
a day or two to harden. The
varnish prevents the grease
from running down, and so pre-
serves the life of the candle.
If gold or silver embroideries
and trimmings are kept wrap
ped up In black paper they will
not tarnish, no matter how long
they may be laid aside.
Always add a small piece of
butter to milk puddings when
cooking them, as this not only
improves the taste, but prevents
the pudding from boiling over.
When a dress suit of dark
serge becomes shiny with wear.
sponge it with hot vinegar and
press it in the usual way. No
odor of vinegar will remain, the
shine will disappear and the
material will be much improved
in appearance. The vinegar
will leave no stain.

Wrinkles of Scorn.
BY j. O. ABERNETHY.

The contemptuous man often is an
egotist. He not only loves to tear
down your ideals, but he rarely offers
anything in return. He appears to
have natural trait of finding fault.
His criticisms always sting and they
never are constructive. He seldom
believes in religion of any kind or in
any creed. and more often is a free
thinker.
You will locate the sign Of scorn
and contempt in the lower lip. Signs
Of contempt are found on the bone Of
the chin and the lower jaw. When
the index IS large 1t serves to draw
the integument Of the chin upward.
1t causes in some persons a short.
transverse wrinkle between the chin
and the lower lip. 1t protrudes the
lower lip on each side of the mid.
section and extends to the corner Of
the mouth below the red membrane
region.
Large contempt not only protrudes
the lip in the indicated region, but it
fulls it up and out. You will have
slight difficulty in reading the sign IL
you will study the faces Of a known
cynic and scoffer.

Has Italy benefited or suffered from
the dictatorship Of Mussolini?
Answer.--The facts are not yet all
in. hence the present time is prema-
ture for assessing the profits and
losses Of the Mussolini dictatorship.
There have doubtless been some i'm
mediate and important gains to Italy,
but how large the price of those gains
will he remains to be seen.
In the rhythm Of history the swing
from threatened anarchy or distinte-
grafton to a dictatorship is a familiar
process. The costs of a dictatorship
often come later as part OF the eff
fort to restore. the liberties of the
people which have been temporarily
sacrificed for the sake of united
