Everyday Psychology
BIZ DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.



Indecision qualities as a character
trait in the case of a great many per-
sons. With some persons this char
acter trait becomes so prominent that
all other traits are submerged. The
person who refuses to make a decision
for fear of making wrong one refuses
to be taught, for any sort of guidance
tends to lead to some decision about
something. Clariflcation is the last
thing such persons want TO hear any
thing about.
1t is argued by some psychologists
that those who operate on the formula
of indecision suffer from feeling of
inferiority. This feeling of inferiority
keeps them in a state of apprehension
about the possibility Of making a mis-
take. A person never thinks quite so
much of himself after making a mis-
take. So they refuse to run the risk
of making a mistake, which might in
some way reduce their already small
opinion of themselves. They want no
light thrown on themselves.
Now and then 1t happens that the
indecisive person gets into q state of
hopelessness Then he takes the first
step out of his difficulties. He decides
that nothing can now affect him. He
makes a decision, perhaps q lucky one.
Realizing he has made decision, he
takes a new interest in himself, wants
to know more about his abilities. wants
TO experiment with them. Then he is
willing to be taught, willing TO regard
himself as q somebody.

FOOD AND THRIFT IN THE HOME
Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDREp.

That old bugaboo of hot weather,
which prevented mothers from weaving
their nursing babies, is now in the past.
There isn't a shred Of an excuse for
mothers to continue to nurse any g.
month old baby. September is the ideal
month for weaving.
We used to find mothers nursing
babies a year or more old, but we
seldom do nowadays, especially if the
to-date pediatrist. Fortunate is the
mother who can satisfy her baby for
nine months, the average nursing period
being only from five to seven months
The mother who has pulled through
the hot season can pat herself on the
back and be satisfied that she has done
her best. No more is expected of her
We sincerely advocate breast feed
ing, but the mother should know when
to stop. The child cannot continue
to grow and develop on a food that
diminishes both in amount and in es-
sential elements. From a physical
standpoint. the supply of minerals in
breast milk notably decreases as the
months of lactation increase. From
q psychological standpoint, prolonged
nursing is even worse. The child is
ending the period of infancy, and nurs-
ing is obviously an infantile habit. He
SIlOulQ DC IGdQy VI QIfIlk from cups,
to eat from spoons, to sit up and begin
feeding himself. He is not hospitable
to these changes when he is still being
nursed.
We know how readily we embrace
new habits in a new environment. We
go TO the seaShore and every day
run out and jump in the ice cold water
and enjoy it. Back home we determine
to keep up that practice. But do We?
The moment we return we go right
back to the old habits We shiver at
the idea of an ice cold shower and
timidly turn on the hot water. Such
is the force of environment and the
suggestion of allied habits.
Think of this in relation to the
nursing baby. All his short life he has
eaten in just one way. 1t is almost
impossible to interest him in cups or
spoons or self-feeding. He prefers the
routine of habits so closely connected
with that Of nursing.
The baby nursed after the ninth
month, sometimes after the seventh,
betrays in a characteristic manner his
need for weaving. He wakes up two
and demands to be nurSedl If previ-
ously baby has been sleeping most of
the night there is no need to hunt
longer for the reason. Wean the baby.
That is the answer to the problem.
Likewise, weaving need not be q
difficult or serious change If the
mother goes about 1t in leisurely fash
ion. Our feeding and weaving leaflet
deals with the slow steps of weaving,
then acquaints the mother with the
kind of diet the child needs after
weaving. Of you want this leaflet
send self-addressed, stamped en-
velope with your request for it to this
Department.. WEAVING definitely ends
the baby's first stage of growth. From
then on we must encourage him to
become a self-reliant and independent
individual as rapidly as is consistent.

BY SALLY MONROE.

MO doctor or dietary expert, so far
as we know, has ever come along
to sing the praises of pickles. or to
point out that pickles prolong life and
give resistance to disease.
To be sure, sauerkraut, Whlch Is,
broadly speaking, sort OF pickle, mas
its expcnents, and there Is no reason
to believe that pickles in general VIII
not some time receive Endorsement by
dietary experts.
Certainly pickles are not particularly
nourishing. certainly they do not con-
tain vitamins, but most people like
them and find their use in moderation
unharmful.
1t is known that the inclusion in the
diet of little acid helps break down
coarse cellulose, and, therefore, aids
digestion, and the habit OF putting
vinegar on cabbage, or even spinach, or
corned beef and other rather coarse,
tough meats, may be well founded.
Add Variety and Flavor.
For the present, all we can venture
to say is that. for healthy persons,
pickles used in moderation do no harm;
that they certainly add to the variety
and flavor of the meal and that they
stimulate the appetite.
Picked Peppers-Secure large, green,
red or yellow peppers. Carefully re-
move seeds; fill with finely chopped
cabbage and onions; stew together end
place in salt water over night; in the
morning pour over them boiling vine
gar. This will be ready to use in about
two weeks.
spiced Pickles.-Soak small cucum-
bers in salt water "a hours; rinse in
clear water. Heat in the following
solution: Three quarts water, one pint
vinegar. piece of alum size of a hickory
nut; drain thoroughly, put in glass
Jars, and on top add mustard seed,
cloves (wholel. cinnamon bark; then
I'LL the jar with boiling vinegar, dis
solving one tablespoonful of sugar to
each quart of vinegar.
Chill Sauce.-Peel and chop one peck
of ripe tomatoes: boil until thick and
not juicy. Add one pint chopped
onions, one-half dozen large peppers,
chopped fine; let boil half an hour,
then add one-half cup of salt, one pint
vinegar, one tablespoon cloves, one
tablespoon cinnamon, two tablespoons
whole mustard seeds.
Mixed Picklcs.-One-half dozen green
peppers, two red peppers, one pint
small onions, one pint lima beans, one
fourth peck small string beans, one
pint celery one pint coulihower, one
pint tiny cucumber pickles. Boil one
half gallon cider vinegar to which has
been added one-fourth pound white
sugar, cents worth tumeric, 2 cents

Hands and Arms.

It is curious how many women will
take the greatest pains TO keep their
fingernails perfect, yet will let their
arms and their elbows look terrible.
Some don't even notice when the skin
looks bad, and ugly marks break out.
Some will wear long sleeves, or scarfs.
with evening dresses to hide defects
rather than get rid of them.
Here's the best arm treatment, for
the skin, that is. Every day scrub the
arms with a flesh brush and heavy
lather of soap, preferably cold cream
or a CASTLE soap. A couple of minutes
of this brings the blood to the arms,
makes the skin glow, opens the pores
and removes a good deal of a peculiar
hard stuff which collects in the pores
and which often raises tiny Jumps on
the skin.
This treatment, followed by hot
rinse, should end with a thorough rub
bling of the arms with olive oil This
softens the skin, softens the hard mat
ter, gets some of it out, and at the
same time improves the general tex
ture of the skin and keeps it from
being too dry as a result of the daily
scrubbing. Then, to bleach the arms.
use any Of the bleaching lotions that
you might put on your lace or neck.
A lot of fuzzy hair often grows on
the arms, which is quite harmless, but
which, If dark, does spoil the appear
ance. This can be bleached with fresh
peroxide of hydrogen, which can be
used once or twice a week, and left on
for minute or so. Use wad of
cotton to apply it. The hairs them
selves can be pulled out with wax;
they'll grow in again. of course, but this
treatment is often valuable.
Make it a rule never to wear sleeves
halfway down the arm. Either long
ones, or no sleeves at all Then the
arms won't be darked toward the
hands and light toward the shoulders.
Anna Try applications of cucum-
Der juice on the freckled places over
your chest and arms. Buttermilk or
lemon juice will bleach the skin of
light coatings of tan. At % years of
age, height, feet 5la inches, you are
