Your Baby and Mine
RY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
Two Years Is an Irritating Period
for Children.

for Children.
II you look about among the chill
dren Of your relatives and friends, you
will notice curious thing, and that is
the uniform dispositions of ? to 3 year
old children And these dispositions are
not uniformly good but uniformly cross
and fretful. The 2-year-old is tempo
rarily a misfit and he vents his irri-
tation by almost constant crying.
Boiling II down TO facts 1t really
isn't queer. Up to 2 years the child
has been in the process of acquiring
lot of new accomplishments He has
been learning to walk and run and
climb He has become articulate. He
has daily added to his independence.
Now at 2 years he strikes a lot of snagS.
He can walk and run. but only in pre-
scribed places. He can climb and reach
things. but when he tries 70 practice
these accomplishments some older per-
son comes along and drags him away
or else gives his small hand stinging
slap. He doesn't know why. he sees
no difference between putting his hand
in the -four barrel and in the SAND
pile. Mothers cups are no more pre-
cious To him than his own toy ones.
He has a natural urge not only to use
all his accomplishments. but to become
better acquainted with his surroundings,
and all day long he is hedged IN by
negations: Don't do that--come away
from there. you naughty baby--leave
those magazines alone" and slap.
slap. slap!
Because the world is so full Of inter-
est, and because walking and running
are such very new accomplishments
the baby could run all day long. He
is tired and sleepy. but he won't give
in" Doesn't that hit the point? Babies
are fatigued TO the point Of exhaus-
ton, but they still want to run and stay
awake.
This is where former good habits
come In. One good nap day viii do
a LOT To end fatigue and crossness.
Babies because OF their monStrous
urge To see and do. learn early that II
they want TO get to do anything they
have to be quiet about 1t. Mischief Is
Just action to them. II Is only bad
in the eyes of their mothers.
II you have 2-year-old who Is cross
and fretfui. try to look at his day from
his viewpoint. Realize how unneces-
sarily hampering parents often are TO
curious, active children. How cruel
they are 10 slap them constantly for
carrying out their natural desires.
Manage to let the baby do as many Of
the things he wants TO do as possible.

Some people never call upon God
never pour out prayer unto Him ex-

some trouble. As long as they are well,
as long as things are going along

world like this where there are 50 many
contrary winds it Is too much to expect
that you are going to have smooth sail

chastening win come sooner or later.
They poured out prayer when thy

never think Of praying now, but you
will think OF it when the Christening

sorrow. is laid upon you. You viii wish
then that you knew more about pray

A persistent low-grade fever, at least
temperature some fractions OF a de-
gree above the arbitrary normal" In a
child who isn't very strong. or who Is
underweight, or who tires easily, Is a
| frequent cause of anxiety to parents.
There is surely no good In worrying
about such thing, and for this reason
| should advise all parents against hav-
ing a clinical thermometer In the house
or taking the temperature, unless this
Is requested by the doctor for partic-
ular purpose.
IF this advice comes too late to save
your household from such worry, then
the next best thing can offer is the
encouragement that you will find In the
following wisdom from a medical
| teacher and child specialist OF high
standing, Or. Joseph Brennemann:
Il have had great difficulty in orient
ing myself as to what constitutes nor
NAL temperature In child. In
my experience fairly persistent tenn
perature of 90 TO 99,5 and even occa-
| sionally 100 is many times more fire.
quently due to some other condition
than 1t Is to tuberculosis. Such tenn
peratures frequently occur after upper
respiratory tract infections. / am free
| to confess that in the great majority of
Il
locus OF infection II there is one. I am
also inclined to believe that those who
definitely, in a given case, locate the
cause in a cryptic tonsil, a paranaSal
sinusitiS, a latent mastoiditis, or a peri
bronchial lymphadenitis do not know
any more about 1t than do. / am not
yet convinced that most OF these things
are not more or less normal. or at least
innocuouS complications of almost every
severe upper respiratory tract infection;
that in most cases any active tnterven-
ton is meddleSome and that an appar-
ent therapeutic result Is usually COIN
cidence. (Dr. Brenneman means that
surgical attack OF the sinus. nnastoid or
tonsil in such cases is meddlesome and
recovery would follow Just as promptly
without such operations,) When such
temperature occurs In an otherwise ap-
parently healthy child in whom / cam
not find lung or other evident patholog-
ical changes, / dismiss the case with
mere warming II a Ptrquet (skin tu-
herculin) test Is negative ! dismiss 1t
| without a qualn. If. on the other hand,
the temperature goes TO 10l. even on
rare occasions, or If the Pirquet reaction
is positive. / put the child to bed as a
sick child and search diligently for the
underlying pathological condition, with
a real interest In the possibility Of tu-
berculous infection
In reference to the Pirquet test DR.,
Brennemann believes q negative test
can be relied on only II 1t is repeated
and II the tuberculin used is Of known
potency, but "for all practical purposes
a negative Pirquet test excludes tuber-
culoSis at any age" On the other hand.
| a positive reaction does not signify that
the present trouble Is tuberculosis-it
merely shows that the individual har-
bors somewhere focus OF tuberculosis
! las most OF lis adults do).
