NANCY PAGE
The Baby and His First
Birthday.
BIZ FLORENCE LA GANKE.

Peter Page, jr., was celebrating his
first birthday. He was a sturdy little
chap, who had taken his first step. but
who still gurgled and made strange
sounds when he tried to talk.
Birthdays did not mean a thing to
him, but his cousin, Joan, could not
stand it to let the day go by with no
celebration.

Aunt Nancy finally allowed her to
put a tiny taper into a small cup cake
and show it to the baby. Joan was an
unselfish little thing. and used up one
of her precious candles which she had
saved from her own birthday cake. But
she soon blew out the candles and ate
the cake for her own lunch.

small son on the scales and found that

For rs minutes the American rear
had been unprotected. Had Mrs. Ra-

must have resulted in almost complete

Should Doctors laugh

One of my earliest patients came 10
me because I was such serlous-Seem-
ing doctor and apparently had plenty
of time to examine fellow-Iu admit
now that he was right in both respects
his own doctor having chased him
out of the Office with laugh. In my
best Munyonnian manner I asked the
patient what his present complaint was,
and he said he had disagreeable taste
in his mouth. Try as would could
not cudgel. another admission out OF
the man. Nor could find anything
wrong with him. I wished had the
courage to laugh at him, too, but 1
couldn't afford to just then, though 1
might as well have had my laugh, for
before I could think of pill or some
thing the patient took pity on me ana
departed, without paying me any Zee,
after all. However, the case was not
total loss, for learned something from
it: I learned to laugh. Yes, MADE
an exhaustive study of taste right
away, and was thoroughly prepared to
deal with the next patient with such
COMPLAINTS years later.
A reader tells how his doctor had
IS laugh at the reader. 1t seems he
had suffered quite often with stltch

tor several times. The last time, as
soon as he entered the office the doctor
exclaimed, "Oh how, so boy in per-
feet health wants to give me fVer
again?"-and the patient lied his way
out of the office with the flyer stu In
his pocket.
Another reader tells how his doctor
enjoyed a rather expensive laugh. Il
went to him when had the first twinges
of rheumatism. He just laughed and
told me he had many patients who
could hardly walk, have been
under another doctors treatment for
arthritis since then.
When the doctor has examined the
patient properly and learned what the
facts are, then, If there Is good cause,
he is entitled to have a good laugh
ebout it, with the patient.
This habit of laughing to conceal
ones ignorance, or giving laugh In lieu
of @ health examination, no longer sat-
isles the paying patient.

TIME FOR FIRE PRECAUTIONS

This is the time above all others to observe every pos
sible prccaution against fire. The dry spell has pro-
duced virtual finder on all sidcs-in wooden corastruc-
ton and in withered heritage. 1t needs but the touch OF a
spark to set up a blaze such as that which destroyed an
elevator and two homes at Mckenzie, Thursday.
And around the city there have been numerous grass
blazes mcnacing to property on the edge Of town. Along
the railroads. in spite of spark arrcstcrs equipplns the
locomotives. big stretches OF dry heritage have been
burned over.
Camping offers another form of fire peril at this
time The keencst watchfulncss is required to avoid 1g-
hitting the surroundings when. for days. the thermometer
has lowered around the 100 mark and rain has been a
rarity for a month or more.
But the greatest peril is the cigarette butt, because
there are so many of these and the average smoker Is
so prone to be careless in tossing them aside. In Cali
fornia the train coaches carry placards warning against
this form of carelessness and r~eceptacles for the butts
are on each passenger coach.
Even old tin cans and glass reccptacles tossed care
lessly into the dry grass may at present furnish the elc-
ment, combined with the suns rays, to produce ignition
and a possibly costly fire
There is nothing so important now in the way Of pre-
caution as to avoid making the dry spell worse by tho
addition Of fires.

SLOW Medicine

There are hurts to the heart and conscience which are
quickly healed and forgotten, needing only q little good
sense to bring about their cure. There are others which
are too deep for surface remedy and will leave a scar long
after they are ended by the slow medicine Of time
Such hurts cannot be ignored or put away from mind
and memory by an intention to forget them. A chance
word or experience will tear them wide open again. 50
that their paint and danger come back to fresh life. II
a man will be cured Of a serious wound, he must face It's
pains like a man and, if needful. suffer more in order
that he may at last be healed. SO with a serious sin, q
deep grief or bitter hurt. These must be faced with
courage and their wound kept clean Of the evils Of Bit
teracss, self-pity and excuse, or else they grow malignant
and threaten death to the spirit.
Given this much Of help. time works its slow healing.
The scar remains, but the man is whole again. 1t is
slow medicine, but the law of nature and tho laws that
rule the spirit of man know no other way of cure.

ENTHUSIASM

Vi eSSO S~~SS
Some children are self starters.
Never do they have to ask anyone
what to do, and seldom how to do
what they wish. These children arc
the product of unusually fortunate
circumstances, of dispositions well
suited to take advantage of the en-
vironment In which they find them
selves.
But most children are not self
starters. Whether this is because
their environment or their training
has been at fault is hard to say. Most
Of us naturally think of childhood as
the time Of spontaneity and enthus-
iasm and vigorous activity. Yet it is
true that a great many children,
when left to themselves, spend sorry
hours of listlessness.
Such a child needs stimulation. Best
of all. is to help him find playmates
who will stir him to happy pursuits.
A summer camp Is the best place for
him.
But If, for reason or another. it
is impossible to provide for him the
cOmpaniOnShip of his fellows, an
adult who can. in some measure. take
their place is the next best thing.
If your child is one who finds the
day holds many vacant hours, set
yourself to be his playmate. Do with
him the things in which likely he
would be interested after he once gets
started. Do with him the things you
would like to do yourself. Nothing is
more catching than enthusiasm
especially when the carrier is one
whom the child loves.
Go swimming with your child. walk
in the woods with him, play ball with
him. Work with him in the garden
in the carpenter shop or the garage
The listless m SOC will catch your
enthusiasm, and perhaps will become
a good self starter.
