KEEPING MENTALLY FIT
BY JOSEPH JASTROW.

understood. Open-mindedness is per-
fectly consistent with having positions
and definite opinions on many subjects
we should know where we stand and
why we take that stand. The mind
should not be so open that it holds
nothing. A liberal is open-minded.
This is q questioning age. We no
longer pay respect to anything because
it Is old and established. New ways
are not old ways. If in the olden days
the great danger was too rigid conserva-
tism, the danger today is quite as plain
ly too easy radicalism. The modern
liberal has to find his place nationally
between the two positions. Merely to
discard the old is no warrant Of prog
ress. The evolutionary idea is sound
namely, that beliefs, customs, inStitu-
tionS arise to meet certain needs; as
the needs change the institutions once
serviceable are no longer so. That evo-
luton is not revolution is an ancient
saying.
A questioning age is also transit
tional age; and that implies a state of
conflict between the old and the new.
The real test is always a matter of adj
justment; the ideal is to live in an
adjusted state of mind.
Reimbursement makes for unrest, and
that for all sorts of nervous difficulties.
Out OF this arises a newer notion OF
what ID good and what bad. Whatever
increases Self-control and avoids nerv-
GUS conditions unfavorable to adjust
ment is sound and right; whatever
works the other way is wrong. But as
we are ever living in and as part of a
community, the same test must be
applied to the social welfare. What
makes 1t easier to live safely and on
good terms with our neighbors is good
and right; whatever works the other
way Is wrong.

DIET AND HEALTH

is not common among them.)
You should 60 to an obstetrician q
physician who speciali2es in maternity
cases.. If these infections are taken
right in the beginning, usually the
physician orders snug binder and ice
bags kept on for 48 hours. In the be-
ginning of the Inflammation, cathartic
tbest some salts) is taken, and then the
fluids and the diet are restricted 80 the
milk is not so profuse. The baby should
not nurse during this time, nor for six
hours after the bags are removed.
After the infection has started the
physician may not use the ice bags; he
may use hot compresses-it depends
upon what he has had the most success
with. If the Inflammation goes to the
extent of an abScess, it would have to
be opened and drained, as any abscess
would.

Mile. Lundberg, premiere dancer OF
the Stockholm Royal Opera, was accus-
toned to listen when her maid spoke.
The woman had spent all her life about
the theater. She knew talent when
she found one.
Really, you must have this child
sing for you," she told Mile. Lundberg.
Her voice Is remarkable"
But where did you hear her?"
81 was passing the Home for Widows
I heard q voice. How lovely said I to
myself, and looked UP to see who the
singer might be.

But it was only child-a tiny child

around its neck. What pretty pic

Is the daughter of a Nicolas Jonas Lind,

and so the child is left until evening
with her grandmother at the Widows
Home.
1.-The mother and the grandmother
are pious people. They think the the

bring Johanna to you, If you wish"
It was thus due to the intervention
Of Mademoiselle Lundberg's maid, a
woman whose name LIS lost to biography,
that one Of the worlds greatest singers
was found.
In due course, the dancer heard Jo-
hanna Maria Lind, better known to his
tory as Jennie Lind. Mademoiselle
Lundberg gave her q note Of introduc-
ton to Herr Croelius, court secretary

voice and set of with her at once to
interview the head Of the theater, Count

When the count saw how f1oniely

manded.

speech on the tin1id child. Herr Croe-

exclaimed, IF you will not take her, !,
poor as I am, will have her educated"
Count Puke, perforce, had to hear the
child. When she finished she had him
in tears. He at once arranged a con-
tract by which the state agreed to give
the child musical education and after
that a contract at the Royal Theater.
When Jenny Lind was IL she sud-

singer. Yet she went on with her in

Conservative, Liberal and Radical

NVASCA V0tAVC, A1bCAd1 duu 1SdU4C61'
These terms describe political policies.
Also states Of mind. Like much else
they reflect temperamental tendencies
something in the nature of our make
up-as well as the results of taking
thought.
An English conservative politically
defined that term as meaning that
nothing new should be adopted until
it was plain that it was an improve
ment; an English liberal defined a con-
sentative as one who believed that moth
ing should ever be attempted for the
first time. Both might agree that q
radical is too readily convinced that
things as they are are wrong, and that
you will get nowhere by tinkering; you
must tear up things by the roots. The
radical believes that the only salvation
is to get at the roots Of things. At
bottom we all strive to be liberal: and
the real issue Is that OF the nature of
the liberal mind.
That the word has been abused is
shown by this comment Of Q wise lib
eral, Prof. Giddings:
Minds which proclaim themselves
liberal rarely are so in fact. They have
way of assuming that liberality Of
mind consists in faddistic free-thinking
and proclamation Of views that timid
folk count dangerous. Nothing could be
more grotesque.
ITO be truly liberal In mind is not
exciting. 1t is difficult and wearisome
It Is in fact the painful practice Of
listening with courteous attention, and
as far as possible with understanding,
to views which are offensive to u.s.
That Is only one trait of the liberal
mind which, along with others. is rec
commended as an aid to mental fitness.
We generally call it -mindedness.
But that in turn must be correctly

OUR CHILDREN
Such a Fuss.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

Such q Fuss.
ANY one child can give q mother
plenty to do but twins will give her a
double plenty. Mrs. Cheeryble has
twins; boys. She does all her own
work and thoroughly enjoys her twins.
Mrs. Nestly called at the house recently
and found great goings on"
Such . fuss. Ny dear, you never
saw such a to-do. And what about The
blessed twins had tied their own neck
ties
Il knew you'd laugh. But It's q fact.
I went in along toward late afternoon.
The table was set with the gayest glass
and china ever you saw. There were
flowers at each plate. You'd think the
president was expected.
There was big red stroke down
the face of big calendar that hung
over the fireplace. Both of the boys
were dressed up and they had big bow
neckties beautifully tied. I'll say that
for them.
THE boys were polishing the glasses
and the silver, going around the table
beaming like full moons, shining this
and polishing that. Mrs. Cheerybie had
MADE an ice cream cake. Such q fuss.
ut was very nice. I must say that.
And they were all as happy as toads in
shower. But imagine all that fuss, all
that TODD because the children had tied
their own neckties perfectly for the
first time in their lives"
Hurrah for the lady who gave that
party. If anything ever called for a
celebration and long red mark on the
calendar, 1t was the day the twins sur
prised their mother by tying their neck
ties all by themselves and perfectly.
Don't you see what an occasion that
was? These little boys had succeeded in
helping themselves where before they
had needed help. Henceforward they
were to have the feeling of personal
power. They were helpful, self-helpful
individuals from that day forward. 1t
was like reaching their majority in
childhood's growth. 1t demanded a
party.
There is not half enough fuss make
about the successes of children. We
make plenty about their failures but
We are likely to 60 along with the criti-
cal neighbor who saw nothing to fuss
about when the twins found skill and
power to tie their bows. We take sue
ceSSes for which children struggled hard
as matters of course. We forget that
what to US is q simple routine matter
is for them high occasion.
Celebrate every success and put the
silencer on the failures. Discuss them
in private and devise ways and means
for their correction. Success breeds sue
cess. One victory makes the next one
easier and surer. A child who knows
that there is waiting for him at home a
most appreciative audience, q sympa-
thetic ear, q generous response to every
effort will find effort worth while.
But the child who lives in the family
where things are taken for granted I'M
less they are wrong, where successes are
passed over lightly and failures dwelt
upon for endless days, will not find
effort worth while and will grow less
anxious to succeed as experience proves
work so fruitless. Make a joyful fuss,
never mind the other kind, and even
twins will be an easy matter.

NANCY PACE
Can Radiator Be
Thing of Beauty?
BIZ FLORENCE La oANKR.

In planning for the new home the
question Of radiators arose. Nancy had
been reading about the inclosed radi-
ators which heated room adequately
and were inconspicuous. But on talk
ing with the builder she learned she
was too late with her idea. When this
modern way of heating house is want
ed it must be planned for in the be-
ginning.
That being 30, Nancy and Peter were
faced with the problem Of keeping radi-
ators from dominating the room.
They learned this could be done most
inexpensively by painting them with
something other than metallic paints
A glittering bronzs or aluminium paint
calls immediate attention to the radi-
A glittering bronze or aluminium paint
were used, and suppose it were of the
same color as the walls or woodwork,
then 1t merged into the whole back
ground.
The heating expert told them that
these non-rnetallic paints had another
advantage-they absorbed less heat,
giving it to the room instead. The pipes
leading to the radiator, by the same
reasoning, then should be painted with
