Natural Tree Crafts.

The art of grating one kind Of
tree on another is Il very ancient
one and was known to the Chinese
thousands of years ago. A delicious
fruit may be sensitive to frost, but
grating 1t on a stock that is hardy,
the sap of the two plants flowing
together will lend hardness to the
good fruit. Only species of plants
closely related to each other can be
successfully grated. however But
besides the CRAFTS seen in gardens,
one may sometimes see a natural
graft in the forest. Often when two
young trees of the same or closely
related species grow up together,
where they happen to touch, the bark
is rubbed away by the swaying of
the trees. The living tissues under
the bark are thus brought together
and frequently grow together, SO that
the parts of the trees above the
junction are grated on to each other
Now what do you know about that?

"Scalding" is the sensible name for il ..
but do not be alarmed If the doctor
calls it eczema intertrigo.
One subject to such scalding should
gently cleanse the affected surfaces
with warm water and soap twice
daily, rinsing all the soap away with
clear water. then drying without fric-
ton. If the skin is just redeemed, but
not yet macerated or raw, it should be
,, freely sprinkled with plain talcum, on,
better, zinc stearate powder, or with
cornstarch powder or gloss starch
powder.
If the skin Is maeerated or raw, the
powders should not se used. The raw
surface requires more protective
dressing, say With fresh zinc oxide
ointment spread upon muslin. OF
course, the less activity the less fric.
ton while such a dressing IS worn.
In any case OF sc<lding it is we'll to

Underweight Mothers.

The underweight mother can train
her appetite to enjoy what she should
eat Because she doesn't want the
food is no sign she doesn't need It..
Ringing in other meal times, such
as eating midmorning, midafternOon
and bedtime snack in addition to three
full meals a day, is one way to coax
the stomach to take extra nourish-
ment.
Another way Is to add nourishment
to the foods being eaten by intro
ducing q beaten raw egg to cream
soups. Beating a raw egg in the 10
an. milk drink is also good. Cream
instead of top milk on cereals, and
even cooking the cereals with milk
instead Of water, adds food value.
Eggs can be poached in milk instead
of water. Ice cream and rice pudding
made with cream, eggs and raisins,
and cake made Of butter, eggs and
milk, are nourishing desserts. A
piece of bacon with steak, chops and
eggs adds nourishment.
Rest whenever possible is essential.
Ride instead Of walk. Sit instead Of
stand when peeling potatoes, etc.
When shopping, sit down at every
counter where a chair is provided.

perfect condition and is not injured or

cool water, provided no strong soap
or securing agents be applied
In Summer not only the excretion
of sweat but also the secretion of
sebum, skin oil, is normally increased.
Persons afflicted with dry skin find
their wrapper looks and feels better
in warm weather. Old skins generally
are rather dry and respond kindly to
warm weather or warmer climate.
Young skins. on the other hand, are
likely to be more troublesome in warm
young skin is generally moist and
oily enough, il not a little too moist
and little too oily.
AS q rule, young persons should
make rather free use of soap and

dust and CRIME, but also the excess
of oil, and especially in the Summer
time. On the other hand, more ma
ture persons should avoid soap and
water as much as possible, especially

freshly made cold cream instead of
soap and water, particularly for the

why young persons should avoid also

HOW 1T STARTED
BY JEAN NEWTON.
The Word "Nice."

Our word "nice" means ignorant or
foolish. Oh yes. it does. Tracked
down to it's beginning that is its true
and original significance. OF course
usage plays an important part in
the meanings of words, and in this
case usage has brought mice" around
to a quite different significance from
that of it's early days! But this is
how il started:
Mice" Is derived from the Latin
'nescius" the, not, plus scius, know
ing) meaning ignorant or foolish. The
latter has it's direct significance in
old English, and the sense in which
it is used by Chaucer. Gradually the
term became specialized in the sense
Of ''foolishly particular about trifies";
soon it was triviality which was en-
phasiZed and the element OF foolish
ness faded out. Its significance was
then particular about small things"
which survives in such an expression
as "niceties of distinction! And be

VIII YOU kindly inform me wheth-
Ell it is impossible for an anarchist
to be a Christian? If not. why not?
Answer-An anarchist is one who
substitutes his personal desires for
all other forms of rule, human or
divine
There may be varieties which are
relatively amiable. But when CON
formed to type this species fatty con
tradicts that eXacting discipline which

requires strict obedience to prescrib-
ed rules.
In eXalting Christs emphasis upon
the individual too many forget that
He also imposed on His followers IA
pronounced solidarity, which created
the conflict between them and Rome'S
Imperialism.
In practice. as in Russia. anarchy
is sometimes associated with terror

Bomb throwing and wholesale mur.
deringS are connected with this creed
in the popular mind because some
anarchists have been terrorsts.
The connection is erroneous SO far
as philosophical anarchiSm is CON
cerned. Yet a theory has to be esti-
mated by its influence upon the
ignorant and the lawless as well as
upon the learned and the intellectual.
Many opinions harmless in the study
are deadly on the street.
Even were anarchy permissible and
every human being acted from benev-
olent and rational motives, We should
still need traffic regulations and this
would begin new body of laws.
The creed is therefore not only i'm
possible but injurious: opposed to all

ligious. and suggestive of little or
