Accurate Anne.

Accurate Anne has a memory ike a
catalogue-and she can repeat 10 you
word for word, q conversation you
held with her last year.
She remembers every detail oi
everything that's happened to her Tor
the past 10 years.
Very convenient for her, you say
But her friends have found her amaz
ing memory rather exasperating
Nobody minds her reeling of an
exact account OF party held five
years ago. But every one mlnds
awfully her checking-up system.
When Fred tells Anne enthusias-
tieally that George is a darn good
fellow, he is far from pleased when
the little lady with the accurate
memory chirps: "Oh. but, Freddy.
dear, YOU told me last year that he
was the most awful cad. Don't YOU
remember, he made all that trouble
between Ray and his girl?'
mo, don't remember growls
Fred. Maybe he did dislike George
last year. but It's all over now. and
he isn't any fonder of Anne because
she dragged up the unpleasant recol'
lection.
Then Billy announces in a grand
and glorious fashion that he, for one,
has never fallen for the great Valerie.
"I've hardly ever danced with her,
he tells the world in general.
Don't be silly. Bill" advises Anne,
sweetly. you cut in on her Il dozen
times last Fall at the Sigma dance.
saw you. and thought then that YOU
were falling, too"
well, wasn't" Billy snarls THAT
was the end of that affair-right that
evening
"Oh, no." Anne reminds him hastily
Don't you remember you went over
TO her home two or three times. but
there were so many other men there
you got rather peeved?"
Can YOU imagine the feelings of
Friend William? What he thought
about dear little Anne could never be
printed
Anne is the most uncomfortable per.
son In the world to have around.
Yea may not be meaning to fib In
the slightest degree, yet If you tell
story that differs in one hairs
breadth from the truth, Anne is right
there waiting to catch you.
To do her justice. she corrects you
out of a sincere desire TO put you
right. But that doesn't make her
any more popular.
No one likes to feel that check
is being put on his every word
Boys and girls are apt to err a
trifle, making their story more
elaborate than il should be, perhaps.
And none of them are overjoyed
when friend Anne gently tells them
just where they're wrong.
If you have a good memory, you're
very much in danger of falling into
Annes habits.
Don't do it. When you hear story
that doesn't quite coincide with what
you remember TO be the truth, just
sit tight.
Let the small inaccuracies pass.
There are more important things in
the world than making sure your
friends speak the whole truth and
nothing but the truth.
Mimi will be glad to answer any in
duiries directed to this paper provided a
stamped. addressed envelope is inclosed.

good that is discernible. Unless you
can speak of something creditable.
there Immediately arises the idea that
your judgment is 50 biased adversely
that it is blinded 10 such favorable
points as may be quite obvious. I'M
mediately a person believes that this
is the case in a critic there Is an
tagonism. The power to sway is lost.
If child thinks parent cannot see
things from his standpoint as well
as his own. he will rebel openly or
argue to gain this object. II the
child appreciates that "a mother or
father does see his side and yet judges
adversely, he will be open to sugges-
tions that should be part of construc-
tive criticism.
Element of Helpfulness.
This element of helpfulness that
should be an integral part OF true crit
icisn should exist under whatever CIR
cumstances and toward whatever per
sons 1t is exercised. II you will read
musical. art or dramatic criticisms or
book reviews. you Will notice tnat
critics of repute seldom fail TO men

able features Of the thing on which
they are passing Judgment. If this Is
not the case, 1t is clear that the crit
icism is not untinged with derog'
atory bias; though occasionally a
whimsical reader concludes that indi'
eestion is at the root of the matter,
Then it is the reader who is the kindly
land perhaps the understanding crit
ic. This only goes to show that crit
les are themselves criticized.

children toward parents. There is the
criticism of husband and wife of each
other. Unless this is done in the spirit
of helpfulness and kindliness there is
sure to be trouble. Great tact is re-
duired in such criticisms Derogatory
or fault finding criticism has to be
Stunned. 1t is the constructive KIND
alone that does any good.

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
Bone-making Materials.

The prospective mother knows that
she must feed herself so that her
baby may be supplied with sufficient
materials with which to build strong
bones and teeth. Very often she has
not the slightest idea what she
should do, or what FOODS to eat 10
make this supply adequate.
Certain foods contain IL larger sup
ply of calcium Qime) and phos-
phorus, and it is these elements
which contribute to the making of
strong bones and perfect teeth. The
diet, not medicine, must furnish these
elements in an adequate amount or
the bones and teeth are bound to
suffer.
MIX is. of course, one of the best
means of supply. This does not
mean, Of course, that If the child
drinks nothing but milk, and large
quantities of that. he will have a
proper diet. After the child is Z
months old he needs other foods, not
only for their supply of phosphorus
and calcium, but for proteins, carbo-
hydrates, vitamins and other essen
tials. 1t does not mean that it is
hardly possible for person, no mat
ter how scientifically he eats, to sup
ply rimself with sufficient of these
also drinks milk. This is even more
necessary during the growth period
of the child and during the pre- natal
and lactation period of the mother.
SO we will put milk first on the list,
because with an ordinary diet plus
milk a person may feel safe about
his phosphorus and calcium supply.
Rich sources among animal foods,
cereals and some other foods are:
Meat. fish and shell fish, eggs, butter
milk, cheese Exceedingly rich in
both elements1, oatmeal, chocolate,
molasses. graham and whole wheat
-four. The use of these latter mate
rails in cooking materially increases
the daily supply of these minerals.
In the vegetable family the follow
cium content: Beans of all kinds,
peas {fresh, dried or canned). carrots,
spinach, turnip tops, pumpkins. tur-
nips, watercress, celery, parsnips. All
vegetables contain the minerals, but
not all in such abundance as is found
in these.
Fruits contain an excellent supply
Of them. Figs stand highest in con-
tent; blackberries, currants, dates,
oranges, peaches, raisins, raspberries
and Strawberries all have IL generous
supply.
It can be seen almost at a glance,
then, that there is good reason for
urging prospective mothers to eat
lots of fruit, drink milk and eschew
white bread in favor of whole-wheat
or graham bread. What applies to
the mother applies equally, to the
growing child--that one should be
judicious in the choice of foods which
are suitable for his particular age.

TO the side and the north wind over
the shoulder. A child can be sheltered
from wind and storm and hot sun
ligh and still be summed IL you give the
matter a little thought.
Sun baths are fine for little ones,
but they must be given with care.
Sunshine burns and it is not wise to
burn the child. You know that burn
is most painful. 1t destroys the skin
and the skin is most important to the
health of the child. Never scorch it..
Playing on the sandy beach is fine
for the children. But keep a light
covering on their bodies. 1t is wrong
to let a child dip himself in the sea
and then expose his dripping body to
the sunshine. Each drop Of water
pulls the rays of sunlight toward it
and the child Is likely to be severely
burned. Burning is not healthy. 1t is
the wrong sort of sunshine treatme Mt.
Take your sunshine in moderation, but
take it.
Sunshine treatment must be given
gradually whether in or outside the
house. The skin of little children is
very sensitive and it is most unwise
to send children who have been shell
tered in the house ell Winter out TO
the beach or the playground and allow
them to strip and burn themselves.
Boys Of pre-adolescent age like to do
this and Il should not be permitted.
Let them tan their cheeks first, then
their lower arms, then the feet and
legs. Gradually accustom the body to
the suns rays. A tanned skin is fine,
but it takes some time to acquire it.
Burning it won't do.
If you want to give baby sunshine
treatment ask DIR. Elliot of the Chill
dren's Bureau, United States Depart
ment of Labor, Washington. d. c., to
tell you about it. She is an expert and
delights in helping babies to get their
share of the sunshine.

Sunshine.

Sunshine is one of the best medi-
cines in the world. a child will grow
and gain health in the sunshine when
he will stand still and droop without
il.
When the child goes out TO play,
put him on the sunny side Of the yard.
I saw a place where the garage and
the garden sat in the sun and the
childs sand tray and swing were
screened off by hemlocks and rooted
by a towering maple. Beautiful for
the meditation of age. but chill for the
body and soul of a child.
The sleeping room Of a child should
be flooded with sunshine. Sunshine Is
the greatest purifier. Summed air is
food, the best tonic in the world for
a child. Sick or well, flood his room
with sunshine.

good.
