THREE-MINUTE JOURNEYS
BY Temple Manning

Two hundred and fifty miles
off the southeast coast Of Africa
lies q great island which was
named by Marco Polo, but never
was visited by that dauntless ex.
plorer Of the thirteenth century.
It Is Madagascar, an African
island with a Polynesian popula.
tion, governed under a French
mandate.
Roughly speaking, the island
is 1000 miles long by 900 miles
wide, with an area Of about
250,0o0 square miles. It's people
are generally agreed to have come
from q Malay -Polynesian stock.
They are divided into a number
Of tribes, but more important
still Il the division into three
social classes or castes.
These are the Andriana, or
mobiles; the Hova, or middle class,
and the Mainti, or slaves. The
Hova are the fairest in complex
lon and are the most intelligent
and cultured of the Malagasy
tribes. They are the best agricul-
turists of the island.
The natives are lively but
crafty; like many other peoples in
the same stage of culture, they
are initiative but not inventive;

The proprietor had been milking
her himself and throwing away
the milk, but he was off duty
one night and through an over
sight it evidently got into the
can supplying the school. Pas
teurizatiOn is practically the only
safeguard against this accident.
Now and then, when we are
advocating pasteurixatiOn, sOnle-
one says: Well, it may be all
right, but we prefer to give our
children good, clean raw milk,
right from the cow OF course,
We ask Why and then we get
one Of all of the stock reasons
for a preference for raw milk.
Bunching them all together,
they can be answered in n few
words. The cooked taste and
reduction in the creamline, that
are sometimes complained of,
are due to Overheating. From
the standpoint of safety, too
much heat is better than not
enOugh-but il the temperature
is properly controlled even an
expert cannot tell from the taste
whether milk is raw or pas
teurized.
"Overheating breaks up the
fat glObules and they rise to
the top less readily, but there
IL actually no loss of cream.
PastenrizatiOn destroys one of
the vitamines called 'vitamin c.
which prevents scurvy in chill
dren, but this vitamin is present
in large and more definite guam.
titles in the fruit and vegetable
juices that are included in the
diet Of most babies in these
days, so this is unimpOrtant.
Anyway, vitamin C disappears
from raw milk on standing.
There are still some physi-
clans who prefer raw milk for
infant feeding. Physicians, like
other people, cannot agree on
everything, but a canvass of Is
of the most prominent children's
specialists in the country indi-
Gated that nearly all of them
preferred either pasteurized or
boiled milk. There may be
places where pasteurizatiOn can
be made AN excuse for the sale
Of dirty milk but under our
code, which is being pretty well
enforced in most places, milk
has to meet definite standards
of cleanliness before it can be
pasteurized."

round of domestic duties which
gives them no scope for their his
trionic talents. They can't even
beat the rug. wallop the wash
board, mangle the clothes or mash
the potatoes, for it's all done for
them by machinery or the delica-
lessen store.
So there they are-spoiling for
action-with not a row in sight.
Then along comes John Henry,
walking into the jaws of death as
it were, and naturally they grab
him, as a drowning man grabs A
straw, and work off their excess
energy. Inside of sixty seconds
they have the poor sap thinking
that be has committed all the
baser crimes, including mayhem,
murder and misuse of mails.
Then, after the grand finale of
Grade A Mysteries, they heave him
into The Dog House and for the
next day or week treat him like
the Village Villain.
Whereupon John Henry con-
cludes that4 women arc mysterious
creatures, of sensitive and COM
plicated natures, capable of in
tense and unusua! suffering and
quite beyond a mere males COM
prehension. Which is the oldest
and silliest form of piffle per-
sisting in the human imagination.
There's nothing mysterious
about women. They are merely
people like all other higher pr'i-
mates. And they are afflicted
with all the ordinary brands of
human cussedness and nothing
else. Their outbursts are not Oc-
casioned by some great spiritual
crisis. They simply want a little
excitement and a lot Of audience.
If John Henry, knowing this,
would beat them to it and hand
them a good sinner, they'd prob
ably burst into big wet sobs of
gratitude and speedily resume
their role of Gods sweetest gift
to mankind. But, unfortunately,
blacking the wife's eye has be-
come a conspicuous breach Of
etiquette. So the lady has to
stage her own fracas. Hence, the
Dog House.
So hereafter, Brother, If you
find yourself out in the cold,
gray dawn chewing bones with
Fido, that's why.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DIR. Louis E. Bisch-
OBEDIENCE in children is the
w big narent problem.

OBEDIENCE in children is the
" big parent problem.
Should we let them do as they
please, or should We restrain them
and how?
A normal child is more Or less
of a wild little animal, that much
must he granted at the outset.
But Is 1t wise to let our children
run wild entirely?
Although modern pedagogics
teach freedom of expression and
freedom of movement, that does
not mean that children should be
allowed to do anything and every
thing their fancies may dictate.
II we let them grow up that
way they become more or less
lawless adults.
The unframed child becomes the
social or anti.social man or wom-
an who feels he does not fit in
with society, in consequence, most
restless and unhappy.
There are parents, indeed, who
obey their children in place OF
their children obeying them!
Such a state of affairs is hard
on the parents, as well as on the
children.
Such children get the notion
that the world is going to give
them everything they want, that
they are superior to others, that
they can make their own wills
law The result, inevitably, is
disastrous.
Obedience, therefore, is a socio-
logical necessity
But obedience on the part of
your children cannot always be
gained easily.
You must study your child. You
must evaluate his nature. You
must fit your teaching with his
character, for only then can you
mold that charscted and change
it.
Don't ask your child to do some.
thing that is manifestly impos-
sible or exceedingly difficult. If
your little one is genuinely afraid
of the dark, don't force him into
1t alone, Go with him, reassure
him. show him that hobgoblins
will not jump out at him.
Be sure you always keep your
promises. II child can trust you
he will also be obedient.
Be patient with your child's tan
trums or irritabiIity. Bad temper
may b" caused by illness. indiges-
tion. loss of sleep. iIregularity at
meals, etc. Find the cause of bad
temper always!
When YOU do punish be sure the
child understands fully why you
are furnishing.
Far better is deprivation Of
sweets or some form of enjoyment
than corporal punishment.
1t Is really surprising. but never
theless fact. that children will
cooperate with you in their own
punishment. They, as we'll as you
have a senss. of justice. They feel
when punishment is deserved.
But an unjust punishment
makes them resentful, mean and
often cruel. They may inflict pun
ishment Un other children to make
up for the punishment received at
your hands.
The proper training of children
is exceedingly worthwhile.
We don't want goody geody
timid children. We want normal.
healthy perhaps mischievuuS but
well-behaved and soc'alized little
human beings,
As a parent. it's up to you.

they learn with ease to read and
write, and they are good speak.
-ers, for 1t is the native custom
to debate everything in public,
each man having a right to ex-
press his opinion. Malagasy wo-
men have a keen sense of dignity.
European types of houses have
largely supplanted the huts of
other days. Mud houses still are
found in. plentiful numbers, maxi
ing compromise between the old
and the new.
Like their architecture, the
daily habits of the Malagasy are
q mixture of the old and the
new. Under French guidance
they are adopting many of the
outward symbols of civilization
but superstition and tradition still
largely dictate the order of their
existence.
Only the poorest of the island
families is without it's herd of
hump.backed cattle, many of these
being magnificent beasts. But,
strangely enough. very few ma
tives milk their own cows. The
principal food is fish and fish
broth. Eels caught by the men.
and shrimps and toho. a variety
of small fish netted by the
women. are the most ordinary
delicacies.

My Beloved approacheth the

'We look forward to the time
when milk consumers every
where will insist on having
pasteurized milk. simply because
they know it is safer. Right now
over so per cent Of the milk sold
IN the cities Of the State il
pasteuriEed and there are 13
upstate cities including the
two largest, ID which over IS
per cent is pasteurized.
Pasteurixation you viii re-
call, means heating milk to q
temperature of 143 degrees
fahrenheit for 80 minutes. Even
when niany precautions are
takens disease producing bacteria
may get into milk. Most Of
you have rad about two fairly
recent and very serious epi-
denies fOrtimately neither of
them i'm this State-One with
1000 cases Of typhoid, the other
around 1000 cases Of septic sore
throat, the latter in q village Of
about 1000. If the milk had
been pasteurized under COM
petent supervision in properly
constructed apparatus it is very
unlikely that either of these epi-
denies would have occurred.
This treatment not only greatly
reduces the number Of so.called
dirt bacteria but also kills all
Of the common disease bacteria.
''It may truthfully be said If,
in addition to the safeguarding
Of all Of our public water sup
plies, all Of our milk was pas
teurized, not only would we
have almost no typhoid in this
State, but there would soon be
q decline in the number Of cases
of gland and bone tuberculosis

death rate would drop still
further.
There are plenty Of careful
and conscientious men who ara

that means entirely safe pro-

without Captains, since their Leaders
left the city. These troops have be-
come office troops until proper leader
ship can be obtained.
Troops No. 6 and 8, and 8, have had
hikes this month. Troop No. 5, the
Winton troop had an out-of-door
meeting, as most of their meetings are,
with Miss Marjorie Edgar the Singing
and Folk-Dance specialist.
The troop meeting dates are as fol-
lows: Troop No. 6, Monday afternoon,

Troop 6 is working on the new
Minstrel's badge, in troop meeting.
They will present it in a recital the
opening day of Girl Scout week, Nov
2, 1929. We hope all those interested
in Girl Scout singing and dramatics
will come. There will be more de-
finite notice later.
The following Badges are scheduled
to be given this Fall Scouts are urg-
ed to work individually, too, on badges
of their own selection, that of course,
depends on your own initiative. These
badges will be worked for in groups
and classes, to be announced next
week. The Laundress, House keeper,
Rockfinder, Pathfinder, Minstrel,
Craftsman, Artist, Needlewoman, Sail
or The Sailor is left over from Camp.
Any Scout wishing to complete any of
the requirements must see the Director
in the Scout Office for plans to finish
this badge if not already done. The
Minstrel badge has started, anyone
may join it, come Mondays after
school, no one accepted after Sept. 80.
The Homemaker, Rock-finder, and
Pathfinder, will begin in October, so
plan on getting in on these interesting
ventures.
