OUR CHILDREN
BY ANGELO FATRI

BY the time he goes to high school
he should have imbibed this orderly
Adea so that it influences his daily york
and play.
This means he wastes no time look
ing for things. He knows where they
are. He loses no time in idle gestures
for, being trained in orderly ways he
knows where to begin. how to go on,
and when to stop. There will be no
/ left out lesson; no period skipped; no
back work.
I have seen children SeaRh half en-
hour for lead pencil onlyNo find the
butt end of one when it was time TO
go to bed. have known children who
could not find certain textbooks after
the first weeks use. They did not
turn up" until Spring housekeeping
time. have known children who failed
iIt terms work because they skipped
D I iods, left out lessons. attended school
irregularly. Disorderly thinking, all OF it.
The time to teach order is from baby
hood on. Surround the child with
order. Keep his day free from clutter
and fuss and noise. There is no har-
mony in disorder and children do not
thrive in discord. They grow in intel
ligence in a harmonious atmosphere
and that is always the result of orderly
planning. orderly working and orderly
thinking.
The children's bureau drawers? Their
book shelves? Their collections? Their
notebooks? Their routine of work and
play? Are they orderly? They can be
and they ought to be.

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED

When we add two and two we expect
to get four but when We are dealing
with babies and not arithmetic the sum
of two things does not always bring
the same result. When We give baby
good care plus good food we should ex-
pect healthy baby to be the result.
Usually we are satisfied but sometimes
the result is a state noticeably less than
we expected.
Mrs. C. F. B. in her letter says that
her 2-year -old daughter is developing
noticeable knock-kneeS. When she was
tiny the baby was in the care OF two
doctors and their advice was followed
to the letter The mother feels, and
rightly, that this positive indication OF
ricketts, is inexplicable. She wonders q
1t can be cured.
What Mrs. G. F. B. has failed TO recog-
nize is that though the child may have
been we'll fed the first year, the second
years diet may have been lacking.
More babies develop ricketts, the nrSt
year. especially II this period comes IN
the Wintertifne but the second year Is
a crucial period too. After that time
children are on such good general diet
and are so eager to play outdoors oally'
whether 1t is cold or warm, tnaC Inelr
chances of developing ricketts, are small.
In irving to help any mother 1t Is
L
babv's diet and general care than this
mother has told me. Just saying that
the baby has had the right food doeSn I
ALWAYS convince me. With the best III
tentions in the world a mother may be
clinging to a Act that is inadequate
for the growing child. Mothers nave
strange ideas about their babies, some
expecting them to digest diet that
would discomfort an adult, others keep
ing children to olet tnaC Wouloh
nourish an infant.
MANY. many mothers feel that their
children Of past one year are stlll well
fed when they get plenty OF "goco lreSn
milk" Some of the worst cases OF mai
nutrition come in that group. Children
of two wears who are Il hate to say ~
still being given as-many bottles OF MILK
a day as they will consume VIII IN a
large percentage OF cases, reIuSe al
other solid foods or accept only spoon
full of them.
The mother treasures herself con-
stantly usually bolstered up by ner
neirhbors) that because the child is
oettine lots of milk she can't De IL
fed Her excuse for letting the cnlio
take a bottle this long is that she
won't drink a drop Of milk any otnel
way." 1t would be better for her for
the time If she didn't. Milk can De IN
Guided In the diet in innumeraole ways
without resorting to bottles. The cnods
refusal to eat a proper diet will con-
tinue so long as the mother continues
these same methods.
This may not apply to the above case,
for when one has nothing to go on one
has to resort to guessing. S.ggest
that Mrs. C. B. send me Seh-addrcSsed
and stamped envelope general delivery
will be all right If you haven't mall

ask vour doctor about ultraviolet ray

Winter. These with correct diet, shoulo
result in a prompt cure for the small

Order.


The seeds of many virute are laid
in the soul of child before 1t is born.
/ am quite certain of that. And / be-
lieve that one of these deeply-Seeded
virtues is order Children love order
and resent disorder.
One of the early occupations OF child
hood is the sorting of things into little
heaps. All stones go in little heap.
All papers go in another. BY and by
stones of one size, of one color OF one
shape. are sorted and placed and the
classification, the orderly way of think-
ing and doing is well started. The
trouble is we stop it half way.
OF course we do not mean to stop the
child in his pursuit of rhythm and order
in his life, but he has so many things to
do and to learn that the day Is all too
short. He is hurried from this to that
before he has time to set his house in
orderly array and by and by all idea of
that is wiped out.
You see believe that physical habits
are the expression of a strong thought.
When a child sets his toy shelf in order
he has a strong thought of order. That
thought colors the quality of his think
ing. The more good color that goes
into that thinking, the finer the quality
of the thinking, the more power the
child can WELD.
Then let us cherish this impulse to
orderly ways. Help the littlest child
to put his things in order and in their
places. AS he grows increase the space
he is allowed and the field he covers.

Makeup Around Eyes.

A beauty question often asked by
readers is, What can / do to change
the color of my eyes?" Some complain
that their eyes are pale, watery blue
and they would like to change them to
q darker hue. Others are tired of gray
or gray-green eyes and are willing to do
anything to make them genuine blue.
Others want their yellowish eyes
changed to q real brown.
But so far modern science has de-
veloped nothing which can change the
color of eyes with which nature has
endowed one. So the next best thing
is to take as good care of the eyes as
is possible. Wash them with q boric
acid solution once or twice a day, as
this soothes them greatly and helps the
eyes to retain whatever claim they may
have to beauty and sparkle. Tired
eyes are never pretty and just little
care such as suggested helps SO much
toward relieving that tired look.
While nothing can be done to ac-
tually change the hue of ones eyes
a great deal may be accomplished
toward making them appear deeper or
even different in color. Auburn haired
people frequently have gray-green eyes
and these may be made to look blue
gray or hazel by judicious use OF col
DTS in clothes and jewelry. The present.
day vogue for colorful costume jewelry
is a boon to the woman eager to make
the most of the beauty of her eyes, The
color of necklace, earrings or bandeau
can make a world of difference to the
eyes. In general, purple and lavender
make green eyes seem greener because
these two colors seem to intesify each
other.
In addition to the careful selection of
colors in jewelry and clothes. one may
use special makeup for the eyelids to
enhance the natural color of the eyes.
As in all makeup, this must be applied
very artistically or the result will be
grotesque instead of f1attering. In gen.
eral, makeup for the eyelids should not
be used at all for daytime Wear, as it
is most effective under artificial light.
However, If one will apply it very spar
ingly it is permissible for daytime wear
also.
The eye shadow usually comes in
paste form, though an eyebrow stick
Is sometimes used for the same purpose.
The color selected depends upon the
color of ones eyes. It can be secured
in brown, blue, purple, violet and green.
II Is rubbed delicately on the upper eye

Have plenty of hot water in the kettle,
so that when the pie is made and the

moved until the pie is ready to dish up.
After taking up If there is not, enough
gravy add some hot water, -four and

and serve. To warm over this pot pie
place it in dripping pan in the oven.

Beetles.

Beetles.
Don't think that ! want to rap the
men. since 1 have great admiration for
them. But. somehow, when think of
a man. can't help thinking of beetle.
Both of these fine specimens are tough
enough on the outside, but they are
often soft within; soft and inclined to
be mushy. Crack that hard coating on
either man or bug, and they will COL
lapse.
man whom I know we'll and re-
spect highly gave me this idea. He's
athletic and brainy but just the same
he is sensitive once his shell is cracked
He tells me that most men are the same
wav. They put up a show of strength,
but with little razzing or flirting on
the part OF gay girl they are soon fiat.
Now, maybe that's why we have the
saving. Faint heart never won fair
lady" The knights OF old who fought
duels on horseback just to get lady's
smile were armed so fully that they
looked like hardware men with their
samples all over them. But what the
other guy could not do with a sword,
the fair lady could do with frown.
Plop! the cavalier hit the hard earth
when his sweetie looked cross.
In many ways, it's unfortunate that
a man who is really strong and can
kick a goal or make a sale against OPP
position should be such soft mark
when his heart is exposed. But this
ONLY shows that a man who may seem
crude and rough has sensitive nature
which may mean fine character. He
is a tough beetle on the outside but a
tender moth inside.
If a girl seems forward when she en-
courages man, we shouldn't make that
count against her unless she goes too
far No, for she is only helping the
man to express the tenderness and poe
try which he has under that tough shell
but which he breads to expose because
it is so sensitive.
Lots of ugly things have been said
about the way that girl may lead a
fellow on, but If we really understood
the matter we'd see that she is only try
ing to have him say out loud just what
he is whispering within his heart.
girl may appear to propose to
man when she sets her cap for him,
as they used to say. or when she gives
him little hint about home or some
thing of that sort. But what she Is
doing is merely applying a tiny spark
to the powder which is stored up in
the mans heart.
We have to take men as they are.
When they were cave men. the may
have been as tough inside of them as
they are outside. But the civilized man
is now a beetle with lot of softness
inside the hard shell.
