AUNT MADGE.

"I cannot say, I will not say,
That she is dead; she is just away
T saw her only once, face to face,
when her Mutual family came nome.
She impressed me as having a frail
body, but indomitable spirit, and
simple friendliness which covered
deeper desire to broadcast Helpful
ness and Hopefulness."
I sensed from her printed words and
personal messages, that she was
woman of keen mind, broad under
standing and sunny outlook on llfe'
which never left her. Even when
the shadows gathered at Mountain
View, they never touched the Column.
To those who have only known her
by her written words, she will be
missed; to those who have been priv
LEGGED to work with her, it seems to
me our best tribute is to still carry
on"
East Sullivan, June 9.
1t may interest some readers OF
the Mutual Benefit column to know
that one of Hancock county's old
time schoolmasters called upon the
editor one day last week, to pay a
personal tribute to zone OF the
brightest pupils in my school at
Bluehill many years ago, who be-
came a wonderful, beautiful
woman" That schoolgirl was
Mary Johnson, the woman was
"Aunt Madge," the schoolmaster
was DR.. r. L. Grindle of Mt. Desert.
INTRODUCING "AUNT ANN"
The editor is pleased to announce
that he has secured successor to
our much-loved and lamented "Aunt
Madge," and that the Mutual Benefit
column is to continue as she wished,
along the lines she has laid down
and under the motto of her adoption,
Helpful and Hopeful"
All contributors since the death
of Aunt Madge," paying tribute to
her, have expressed the wish that
the column might continue as a
monument to the splendid work she
did. Several have expressed the
hope that her daughter, "Narcissus,"
would take up the work, but that is
impossible, as she is to be in the
county but few months each year.

IN MEMORY OF AUNT MADGE.

IN MEMORY OF AUNT MADGE
We have lost friend and neighbor,
True and gentle, kind and good,
Whose reward was earned by honest
labor,
Helping others where she could.
Many little deeds of kindness,
Strewn along her backward track,
Speak of quality and fineness,
AS it points our memory back.
Never once her courage daunted,
If there were things that she could
do,
She seemed to know if favor wanted,
And would kindly help us, too.
We shall surely truly miss her,
Miss her much for many a year,
Her good advice was kindly given,
She to us has been most dear.
Ann.
My words are inadequate to- tell you
how grieved I am at the loss of Aunt
Madge as a neighbor and friend of
long standing, as we'll as the editor of
our Mutual Benefit Column so many
years. She has often said to me-:
How little thought, when the M. B..
c., was started, that it would continue
so long and be filled by so many diff
ferent ones"
AS monument to her, I do hope
that the column will be continued.
May all chose who have been so in
terested still keep that interest, ana
I am sure we can.
If it would not be asking too much
of "Narcfssus," I would love to know
she would assume the head of the
NJ. BIS.
With most profound sorrow did we
read of the death of dear Aunt
| Madge. How sadly will we all miss

also Aunt Maria, taken here one VI

Nail Biting.

Chewing at ones nails is a horrid.
nauseating habit, especially to those
who don't indulge in it. The bitten
down nails of a person of nervous
temperament are most upsetting to
| other persons, almost as much
so sometimes as the sight of Il
wound. Such fingers look like sores
There are several reasons for nail
biting. Any habit which is acquired
| is hard to break, but there must have
been some initial reason for the begin
ming Of it, The nail bitter is oftenest
| a child whose mother gives his nails
little or no attention. Long nails
break and split, especially when the
person is an active little youngster
with his paddles" in everything. He
bites off the ragged end. This makes
a still more ragged surface and he
continues to chew it until it Is smooth
and straight. The result Is that the
nails grow in again ragged and un-
even and he starts all over again
to chew them straight.
The nervous person is more likely
to continue this practice than one
of normal stability. The nervous
person may have a real physical all
ment or be undernourished. and these
| may be rooted in a poor diet. This
same poor diet might contribute to the
forming of soft naiiS. the Kind which
are easil torn and bitten. The healthy
person is likely to have firm smooth
nail, the unhealthy one a soft, ridgy
one. Naturally this latter is easier to
bite" than the other. In addition
then, to a correction of the diet, one
| should use some paste and powder on
the nail to help give it a glossy un-
bitable surface. This. Of course. for

FAINT or baby just beginning to bite
at his nails will soon lose the habit
| if the nails are kept trimmed. The
| nails of infants grow rapidly. and as
| it is always hard to WELD scissors on
| the hands of an infant, ii is better to
wait until the child is asleep and then
| the nails can be cut competently and
with no danger that a sudden move
ment on his part will send the scis-
sors dangerously near his face.
Every so often some one voices an
absurd superstition about cutting"
a babys nails. They are supposed to
| be bitten off. Such nonsense
always seems so laughable that one
wonders who can take It seriously
But just to ease the mind of
any one who has ever paid any atten.
tion to it, she can be assured the only
harm that can possibly result to
baby comes entirely from the danger
of uncut nails. These are liable to
result in great gashes in soft baby
! cheeks. for baby's hands fly about
sometimes with little attention to di-
rection. In fact. he puts his hands in
his eyes and digs at his face in a feel
ingless way which almost paralyzes
his mother. Knowing these are typical
baby habits. one can protect him best
from such wounds by keeping the
nails trimmed short and in addition
give him no occasion to learn the
disgusting habit of nail biting.

FOOD AND HEALTH
BY WINIFRED STUART GIBBS.
Food Specialist.

How to add human interest to un-
inspiring chemical facts about food:
One recalls the words Of the hair
dresser who said that any one VINO
found recipe for turning graying
hair white quickly would make his
fortune,
The dietitian does not aspire to
making her fortune by formulating
intriguing statements in regard to
the chemistry of food. On the other
hand, she does banker after new ways
of expressing these dry facts so as
to lure her students into paths of
we'll fed efficiency and happines.
Perhaps there is no other one diVi-
sion of diet that stands in any greater
need of having its facts stated in
facile phrases than the division which
is devoted to discussing the place of
mineral salts in the diet,
We may read this statement that
the average American dietary is def
cicnt in lime. We may mark the
memorandum on the tablets of our
memory if not on our desk, but do
we inWardly digest these facts? DO
we apply them to the betterment Of
our health and that of our families?
Returning to lime, it is difficult to
become excited over the statement
that calcium salts consist chiefly of
the normal phosphate and the car
Donate and chloride and the fluoride.' y
1t is comparatively easy to become
excited when we accompany the
youngsters to the dentist and he tells
us that they would have had much
better temporary and permanent
teeth if we had given them plenty
of lime from the days when they
graduated from the bottle.
Il. l. o.
all we can about each of the food
salts. and lime is a good one with
which to begin our study.
Lime salts make up a large pro
portion of the skeleton or bony frame
work of the body,
We do not always realize that lime
plays an important part in cOagula-
tion Of the blood. 1t is only one
food. namely. iron, that we are apt
to think Of in connection with the
blood so it is n good plan To CON
tinue our study of lime salts as they
should be present in the food until
we have learned more than smat-
tering total Of information possessed
by SO many Of us.
To return to the coagulation Of
the blood.
While We are not certain of the
exact nature of the chemical changes
which take place when the blood
coaCulates. we do know that the
process Is dependent upon the proc
esses in the blood of lime salts. We
know that lime salts also help the
heart in it's work Of muscular con
traction. Therefore, instead of CON
tenting ourselves with learning and
replying elibly that food salts are
body regulators, let us learn how
they regulate the body.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
RACIAL ORlGlN-English.

w NV iOSdthy'
Warburton is one of those family
names which was originally. and in
this case still is, the name of place
There Is town of that name in
Cheshire, ENGLAND.
Such surnames as these, you may he
sure, were in their earliest use pre-
ceded either by the Norman French
'de" or the Saxon 60" or "a" as
contractions of the word "of." And
you may also be sure that their use
first developed in other localities than
the one indicated, for it would not
mean anything" for inhabitants of
the town OF Warburton. for instance
to refer to another inhabitant of that
town as "Geoffrey de Warburton,
though in some other community the
use of such descriptive surname
would well serve the purpose of differ
entiating the individual.
Thus you may safely argue that the
original Warburtons lived at one time
in that place. and adopted the name
after moving away from it. Likewise
since any resident who left the place
might easily have adopted the sur
name, it does not follow that all per
sons bearing this name can trace their
ancestry back to the same stock.
