YOUR CHILDREN

 I0io3l BY NfA SERVICE: INC. (

When children are little we say:
 "oh, they are just young once. We
 want them to have good time as long as they can" Then we demonstrate our idea of giving them a good timo by treating them like hot-house fruit. We do the
 work, the fussing. the worrying. and
 all they have to do Is iok beautiful and grow.
 They get into beds that are mir aculously smooth, clean and sweet. They sit down to meals three times
 a day at lovely tables set with att
 tractive dishes filled with appetizing food.
 They step into clean clothes. They bathe in shining bathrooms and dry
 themselves on fluffy laundered tow els.
 Life stands with It's hands spread out to them, and although those
 hands may be rough from house.

 Theirs is to take and be happy.
 am, of course, speaking generally, | for not ali children have things as However. the point is that 1t is the
 American idea for children to have 1t
 easy.
 No care, no responsibility, no co. operation. Just acceptance. As they get older, then, suddenly we are amazed that th0y are no longer content with good food, neat
 clothes, and smooth beds, with, we'll
 say, enough spending money for movies.
 Their Wants Grow All at once, when they are four teen or fifteen, their wants spread out like a fan. Childish tastes are giving place to adoiescent tastes. The girls want luxuries, the boys
 want cars. Perhaps not always. but
 certainly their ideas do achieve a
 mushroom growth. This time then, when parents and children should be drawing closer together, becomes @ battle-ground of trouble. The children have always been humored-"we wanted them to be happy"
 Things always appeared as by
 miracle; now they cannot understand why the wand still doesn't work. So many parents are puzzled by this resentment on the part of their
 older children. They cannot under-
 stand why they can be So heartiess,
 50 cruel, az to expect impossible sac | rifices. And of course they blame
 their sons and daughters and call
 them ungrateful. l don't think they are at all. It
 goes back to those little simple days when the children were taught to
 take and never give.

Rhubar5 comes so early in the |.season, when fresh fruits are scarce Tn most sections of the country, that the up-to-date housewife Is on the lookout for ways to use it in her spring menus.
 Aside, which stimulates the ap- pete, rhubarb is a good source of i'm portant food elements. Phosphor- ous. that constituent necessary for strong teeth and sound bones, and vitamin are present in this fruit vegetable.
 Some people object to rhubarb on account of it's acidity. While the leaves do contain some oxalic acid and should not be used. the stems contain only very small amount and after cooking the acid content is nil.
 Care should be taken not to over-cook rhubarb. Vitamin c is destroyed if subjected to too great heat for too long time. As little water as possible should be used to prevent burning. for the fruit vegetable is very juicy of itself.
 Adding other materials to rhubarb makes 1t possible to obtain dishes of increased food value. Rhubarb com oiHes eXCeileOLly with almost any other fruit beside the foodstuffs commonly used with fruits. The ex- tra materials can be chosen to make up for the lack In the rhubarb. For example, adding raisins to stewed or baked rhubarb adds iron to the dish and increases it's efficiency.
 Frozen desserts, hot or cold pud- dings and gelatine dishes are deli cious made with rhubarb. We'll swcetened rhubarb sauce is good with rice and cornstarch buildings. Always add sugar to rhubarb sauce when removing from the fire.
 As "stretcher" and pectin me- dium in the making of jellies and jams. rhubarb is invaluable throughout the entire canning sea- son.
 The first rhubarb usually has a very tender skin and if well washed need not be peeled. When cooked with the skin on 1t has a delightful pinky color. AS the season ad- vances the skin grows tough and should be removed before cooking. Rhubarb Sherbet Two pounds rhubarb, cup water. 2 cups sugar, white 2 eggs. Wash rhubarb nd cut in small pieces.

 "Its not all his fault. either," honesty forced. the girl to admit. "I'm as much to blame for this nightmare as he is!' Tn spite of Jim's efforts the dim ner was dismal.

 "I'm afraid Forest City may seem quiet to you after New York;" she suggested. 1T suppose you're used to parties almost every night?" Hardly that often,' Gypsy an- swered.

She didn't say 1t. Gypsy recalled in time that Jim had probably concealed the fact of her three years in the MacNa- mara office.
 There was lull and Jim tried to turn his aunt's attention to an- other subject. The effort was use- less.

 See here, Aunt Ellen," Jim in- terrupted, "Gypsy's tired. She can tell you all that some other day"
 T don't mind." the girl assured him. 'T like to talk about my father. Yeea.T guess he was what you'd call q professional man. He worked on q newspaper"
 Miss Wallace drowned. "An edi- tor?" she asked.
 "No. he wasn't exactly editor. He worked on big New York news papers. Different ones. He wrote headlines and corrected mistakes and he knew everything in the world. He was wonderful. We were always together = up until three years ago."
 She turned her head away. They had finished the coffee and Wallace seized the opportunity to suggest aunt arose, regretfully. "Let me show you the house." Jim suggested to Gypsy. "You'd like to know your way about, wouldn't your"

Sometimes, alas. the only visible one digestive trouble or another, visible by the pimples on our faces.
 Not quite so cheering as blooming rows of crocusses, is 1t? But. then, 1t isn't quite as hard either as the terrible doses of sulphur and mos lasses Grandmother used to take.
 Eating less fat. less rich food. drinking fewer stimulants and more water, going in for fresh vegetables and fruits - this Is the way out to a happy summer.

 How shall you care for those pimples that come when your sys- tenn Is upset? Let them alone. That is the first bit of sane advice l would givo you.
 If you open them too soon, you will only cause another or maybe q couple more. If you squeeze them too hard, you are likely to cause n bruise on your flesh that may result in q permanent slight lump.
 Let them come to Q hard, deep. yellow head. They often break of their own accord and the core Is easily removable. If you want to open them. wash tho area off with peroxide, prick them with q needle burned over match for q few minutes to sterilize 1t. Have absorbent cotton ready to catch any matter that comes out. When you have finished, either put iodine on the pimple or use some other disin- fectant.
 One thing moro. Never have . facial when you have an outbreak of pimples. Forego using creams and massaglng on the spots until they are cleared up. Use pure cas. tile soap and water and then use witch hazel or some mild lotion with enough alcohol to help dry them up. Be patient and don't pick. That Is the hardest thing, sometimes. But if you restrain yourself, your face will be cleared just that much more quickly. ..s. ..s..

Huey Long is a United States

Huey Long told State police.
"He is not even lieutenant gov.

Of Aldrich, an unemployed con-

Cyr forces as an attempt to bur-
lesque the lieutenant governors

serious.
