CHECKING UP ON THE HOLIDA
Checking Up On the Holidays

By Mrs. agnes Lyme
The holidays have seen a testing
of the resources Of our homes.
II may not he quite fair to judge
the soundness of the home by the
happenings of the vacation, since
for all its delights It puts the hom..
and everyone in it under an unusu-
al strain. Yet it Is without doubt
true that the way In which this
strain is met is pretty good indi-
cation OF how we'll we are doing
Cur job as parents
We may we'll ask ourselves a few
questions: Did We honestly welcome
the thought of having the children
home for two weeks? Did the chill
dren's presence seem 10 infringe I'M
pleasantly on our own freedom and
the regularity of the household rou-
tine? When left alone with them
did We have something to talk
about? Did We enjoy doing things
together?
These are searching questions,
and in the answer lies the judg-
ment on us as parents and on our
homes as something more than
places in which to eat and sleep,
and spent vacant hours.
II We were not glad 10 have the
children home VIC are lacking in the
poise and Imagination that makes
rarenthood a remunerative job. IF
We did not find their society inter-
esting it is an indication that We
need more points Of contact through
out tho year. that we need to do
more things together. IF the chill
dren seemed to stand in the way OF
our personal pleasures It is either
that they have not learned the re-
sourcefulness and self reliance
which enables them Independently
to go about their own plans or that
We are too selfishly concerned with
cur own diversions.
If the children seemed TO inter-
fero nnduly with the smooth rur-
ming mechanics of the home it Is
because We have allowed house.
keeping to become too Important
and because the furnishings and ap-
pearanCe of the home have become
more vital to us than its function as
the center of family life. If the chill
Gren have not sought to bring much
of their socllbiltiy to the home it
is because there has been a lack OF
friendly understanding or a gracious
welcome.

view of this problem. DIR. James
Alexander Miller surveyed the avail
able medical literature and studied
the records of patients in various
portions Of the United States.
Gives 10 Rules
As . result of his study he has
drawn certain conclusions which
should be borne in mind by every
person with tuberculosis who may
contemplate change Of climate.
| Here they are:
! 1.-The regime of regulated rest
and exercise. proper food and OPEN
air life. is the fundamental essential
in the treatment of tuberculosis.
Suitable climatic environment makes
this open-air life more easy enjoy
able and beneficial.
when these essentials are as
sured. d change Of climate is of def
mite value in a considerable number.
probably the majority of cases, but
with the proper regimen many cases
will do we'll il any climate.
| 3-Any change of climate incolv-
ing the fatigue of travel is contra
indicated in acute cases with fever
or hcmorrhage. or in very far adj
vanced and markedly debilitated cas-
es. Absolute bed rest is the one es-
sential here.
NO patient should be sent away
in search of climate who cannot af-
ford TO stay the reasonably to be ex-
pected time and to have the neces-
sary food, lodging and care.
5-Competent medical advice and
supervision are essential.
6-One of the most valuable as
sets of change is the education of
the patient. This may. of course
be obtained in suitable environ
ment without reference 10 climate. rs
In a sanatorium near home.
7-Selection of a suitable locality
Is an individual problem for every
patient. depending upon his temper
ament, tastes and individual reaction
to environment, as we'll as the char
acter of his disease. The advising
physician hould have an appreciation
of these as well as a knowledge Of
the particular environment TO which
the patient is being sent. Contenment
and reasonable comfort are essen
tial.
mo Ideal Climate
s-There is no universal ideal ell
mate. For each patient there may
we'll be amost favorable environment
if We were wise enough to find It.
9--There is a reasonable amount
Of evidence that certain medical
types of cases are more favorable
influenced by certain conditions OF
climate, everything else being equal.
For example. reasonably cold. dry.
variable climate. such as Is found
in the mountains. for young or Wig
orous constitutions which will react
well. Dry, sunny climates for laryn-
geal cases and those with marked
catarrhal secretions. Eguablc mild
climates at low attitudes for the ell
derby and those of nervous temper
aments, as we'll as for those with
arteriosclerosis. weak hearts or
marked tendency to dyspnoea.
Unsuccessful selection of climate
and environment for cases of tuber-
culosis requires wide knowledge of
human nature, of places and of the
disease. This can only be acquired by
patience. skill and experience.
