EXAMPLES OF FOOD VEHICLES.

There IS a certain wise man who
manufactures an excellent food prod
uct He is careful to announce that
his product in it's composition has a
wide variety Of food elements. He is
also careful, however, to point out
that because it Is composed chiefly
of very digestible starch this product
is offered as a vehicle for carrying
other nourishing food. such as egg
and milk and fruits. There is a real
lesson for the housewife in this little
anecdote. We all remember how our
mothers and grandmothers used to
put the old.fashioned pills or unpleaS-
ant tasting medicine in fruit juices. or
molasses or whatnot. In other words,
they were used as vehicles for getting
the desired elements into the stom-
achs of those who needed attention.
our modern way of using the We
hicle idea is even more interesting.
Like the man who makes a point Of
his starchy product being a good car
rier for milk and eggs. the housekeep-
er may we'll devote some little study
to planning just how many food We
hicles she has at her command.
A well known illustration of this fact
is that which has to do with hiding

hates to be kept indoors while the
gang of other boys is out playing
and would he like to study it other
wise?
A Child's Attitude.
It takes a real understanding of the
child to make the correct decision.
Parents have to realize the child's at
titude toward music apart from the
question of lessons in it. If he likes
music, some lessons will help to give
him an insight into it's beauty of har-
monies and an appreciation of the
classic compositions, even though he
never becomes more than casual
performer himself.
Artistic Bent.
It is we'll to have him take some les
sons if he shows any liking for music,
and then decide whether he should
study longer or not. according to his
progress and his mental attitude TO-
ward the subject in general.
On the other hand, if Jackie is al
ways drawing things and you find
that it is one way he has of express
ing himself, give him lessons in draw
ing and painting instead of music. he
NAV be an artist in embryo. But do
not force him to study music or art or
anything outside the school curr1cu-
lum lust because other children are
studying them. City children are not
as much hampered by having to do
what other children do as those who
live in a small town, where group
studying is more usual. When all
the children of a certain set are do
ing definite things or studying certain
subjects outside of school, child IS
often compelled by parents TO join
classes or take lessons just because
others do.
A Whim or Aversion?
There are enough compulsory
studies in school for children to cope
with for them to get the discipline OF
mastering difficulties and winning with
odds against them. If in work out
side school a child has an aversion to
the thing parents wish, let the sub
iect drop for period. If the dislike
is a whim it will pass. If it is an in
herent aversion, 1t will persist even
when opportunities to do 1t under
the most delightful circumstances are
offered.

Answer-Child psychology is not the
same as adult psychology, it is said.
but sometimes it helps a lot to just
stop and think what would have the
effect on you if you were a baby. Put
ing yourself in his wee shoes would
solve a lot of problems that look like
dark secrets to the conscientious
mother.
If you spanked the child, what would
he learn? Nothing, except that when
he cried you did something that made
him cry harder. 1t wouldn't affect his
crying much, but it would make his
temper take on an uglier color. If any
child who is spanked for everything

behavior by it, should love to know
about it. The mother feels that hav-
ing done that duty she is exempt from
any other, and she ceases to worry
about it. The baby has been punished
and that is all she is called upon to do,
she thinks.
Scolding! What happens to you
when a person speaks in a cross,
whiny or truculent tone? You want to
answer in kind. If you are baby, all
you can do is scream a little more
venomously. And you do.
But suppose mother smiles at you
sweetly, is unruffied by your screams,
goes on calmly about what she is do
ing, dressing or undressing, whatever
it may be, puts you down quietly in
your bed and leaves you alone. What
! happens then? Pretty soon your cries
become questioning, then decidedly
| fainter. You decide it's a lot of effort
with mighty little result. And if you're
q sensible baby-and / am. sure this
husky baby is-you will stop crying
and proceed about other and more lu-
crative business. No baby will scream
long when such screaming gets him
nothing and leaves his mother unper.

the purpose of Introducing milk into
the children'S internal economies.
Quite seriously, this is a good work
ing principle for the one who wishes
to study the practical side OF dietet-
ice. Decide first which foods your
family should have represented in the
dietary. If for any reason il is NOT
practical to serve these foods in their
original form, decide upon the vehicles
which will transfer them To the stom.
achs of the various members of the
family.
one interesting point in this plan is
that it works both ways. For example
the food which we desire to introduce
into the dietary is usually an import
ant one. On the other hand, the foods
that are used as the vehicles for this
food are something more than We
hicles. They usually arc important In
their own rights.
This making use OF certain foods
for the administration of others is
only one of the advantages to he de
rived from careful study Of food com
binations. 1t is, however. an import
ant one and one that has perhaps
been given less attention than others
which are more obvious in their ap-
peal.

A Cup Treatment.

Here's a treatment not often used,
probably because 1t takes more time
than massage, which. however, is often
very helpful in ton:ng up fiabby or
wrinkled skins. 1t is called the cup
treatment.
You use an egg cup, or any small
cup-an after-diner coffee cup would
do. 1t must be antiseptically clean,
which is quite a different matter from
ordinary cleanliness. Dip it In boiling
water before you use It. Now, press
it against the skin until you feel a
moderate bulge and hold 1t there.
The pressure will draw tho blood to
the skin at this point. and when you
remove the cup you'll SEQ q red circle.
Hold it on another part Of the face
until the same thing happens. And If
the skin has any sort OF eruptions.
wipe the edge OF the cup each time
with peroxide or Q little alcohol to
make it antiseptio again; otherwise
you might spread the infection. And
keep changing the places where you
put the cup-don't repeat over place
until the color has become normal or
you might cause a little congestion
there.
1t is supposed to be very good for
wrinkles. I've seen 1t done. and GER
tainly the skin was stimulated wter'
ever the cup had been pressed. And
that was good for wrinkles. But
only know its good permanent effects
by hearsay. I've never given it a
thorough trial. II you like, try 1t.
Every one must and the treatment
best suited to her complexion by ex.

cannot pull the skin. as unskillful
massage can. Or.syou might try tap

and does not pull at the muscles.

They are also rich in energy. From

When YOU read that some foods

OncluSion that the SO-called acid

word avid, used in this connection,
simply tells of q normal and impor-
ant action that these foods have in
the body. In other words, a we'll
balanced diet must have some acid
and some alkaline foods in it.

The Deadly Upas Tree.

Fiction is full of references to the
deadly upas tree. According to legend
it grows in desert places. where its
shade is trustingly sought But all
who sleep beneath its shade are sup
posed to die later in horrible agony.
This is not quite all a myth. The
tree is related to the poison ivy vine
and to the poison tree of Florida. If
you touch it you get a poisonous
blister. If it comes to that, our own
country has some queer SuperStitions.
Many persons believe that if you
touch a bit of poison ivy you must eat
some in order to counteract it's effects.
Now, what do YOU know about that!

Development of Natural Abilities

One is the forcing Of them to do
things that are distasteful, and for
which they have no natural bent, and
IN" other is TO permit childish whims
and fancieS to dictate what is best
for them. 1t is not easy to steer
straight course between these two
paths. They run so close together.

Salmon and Cucumber.

This Is a modification of an after
noon tea sandwich. Allow one-quar-
ter of a cup Of salmon meat, either
fresh. boiled or canned. and one-half a
cucumber with one-half tablespoonful
Of tartar sauce for making these din
ner sandwiches. The bread should be
cut in very tiny shapes. either round
or any other shape desired. The fish
and cucumber ar CHOPPED and mixed
with the sauce and the sandwiches
made as usual. When these tiny bits
Of sandwiches are used as dinner ap-
petizers they should literally not have
more than two or three mouthfuls in
each. Little cutters shaped like
clovers. hearts and so on make very
pretty dinner sandwiches
