Everyday Psychology

Foundations.

From time to time, in fairly regular
stumble upon new foundations. Some
of these foundations are, Of course,
more basic than others.
The supposed influence of the planets
had its day. But it is now known that
aStrology explains nothing Something
like hundred years ago the theory OF
inborn abilities held sway, especially IN
theological circles. know of no more
interesting reading than the sermons
of hundred years ago. The theolo-
gians were looking for God. They
reasoned that those inborn tendencies
called instincts might be regarded as
proof of the existence of an all-w1se
Creator. Upon this foundation. the
theologians of yesterday created a
mental philosophy which has by no
means lost. its power.
The most recent psychological found
alton is known as movement. PSychol-
ogy is no longer a study of subtle and
hidden forces. It's study Of the mov-
ing body-moving here and there ac-
cording to the laws of mechanics. All
of which means that the mind has to
have a body. This foundation goes to
physics and chemistry-the two natural
sciences which in fifty years have set
the stage for nearly everything in a
practical world
Will the foundation called movement,
the mechanics of action and reaction,
survive? The chances are that it will
So far it has not been successfully re-
futed. We are now entering the period
when men will talk seriously enough

Tonsilitis.

|
In a convalescent camp during the
war it was found that the average
length of time required for a young
man to get back into fit condition after
an attack of simple tonsilitis was a
month.
How many older men and women feel
that it is necessary to take two or three
weeks vacation after an attack Of
tonSilitis?
Sometimes I think that one is rather
lucky if a sore throat proves to be
diphtheria. for in that case the imrne-
date treatment and the after treat
ment and convalescence will be more
carefully managed. Everybody respects
diphtheria
Again I think a reasonable amount
Of diphtheria in the community is a
blessing, since it serves to make us re-
spect a sore throat or makes lis afraid
to neglect it.
When we think of all the tragic in
stances where such diseases as infantile
paralysis and meningitis have been
mistaken for tonsilitis We begin to COM
prehend how foolish it is for any lay
man to attempt to make diagnosis Of
complaint of sore throat.
1t is not merely the sequels of ton
silitis. such as endocarditis (valvular
disease) and chronic arthritis. but also
the complications which so often de-
Velop in the height Of the otherwise
minor illness, that should compel great
er respect than physicians and laity
give this common illness.
Acute infectious or septic endocar-
ditiS inflammation of heart lining)
acute pericarditis inflammation Of
heart covering, acute chorea (St
Vitus' dance), acute multiple infectious
arthritiS inf1ammatory rheumatism,
rheumatic fever), and acute pleurisy
or pneumonia are some of the COM
likely to develop when the tonsilitis
patient attempts to keep up and about
or to fight it of" or to return to
school or to work too soon.
Kissing is one way to contract ton
silitiS and you need not kiss the person
with tonsilitis to catch it; you needn't
even select a person with cri, for any
fairly healthy carrier of vigorous
colony of streptococci, staphylococci,
pneumonococci or a combination Of
these germs will do.
Many health authorities believe, but
I do not, that shaking hands is an
important mode of infection. In my
opinion this is very rarely If ever the
way any known respiratory infection
spreads. The usual mode of infection
with tonsilitis, as with all the other
respiratory infections, is through direct
implantation of the germs in the
spray from the nose and mouth when
the patient or the person coming
down with the disease or harbortng

lShed TO pearly luster; and the
brown" or whole rice" which from a
nutritional standpoint is the best for
food, as it contains all the vitamin5
and has better flavor.
Rice may be poorly cooked, or it may
be cooked to perfection. You may steam
it in a double boiler, or cook it in a
large quantity of rapidly boiling salted
water, adding the rice slowly, so that
the water does not stop boiling during
this process. Then cook the rice from
p to 80 minutes; drain off the water
and either steam until the rice is dry,
or blanch the rice in running cold
water.
Brown rice should be cooked in the
same way. but you will need to allow a
longer time for the boiling Perhaps a
better way is to first soak the rice in
tepid water for about an hour before
cooking it.

Visits in Spain.
ALHAMRA AND GIBRALTAR.

T Up to the year 1892, Spain had
an excellent leaning tower"
but it leaned so well that it
~ had to be taken down, lest 1t
should fall on some one. That
tower was built before the death of Co.
lumbus, and it stood-or leaned for
386 years.
A more important building-the Al
hambra-still stands in Spain. 1t dates
back more than 600 years.
The name "Alhambra" comes from
Arabic wSrds meaning the red castle. "
1t is, indeed, a castle; and in days of
old it was the home of Moorish kings
Thirteen towers rise from the Alham-
bra, and there are heavy walls between
the towers. The castle covers 35 acres
of ground, on hill outside the city of
Granada
Although it has been injured by an
earthquake, by fire, and by the
French (who blew up eight towers), the
Alhambra is still in fairly good condi-
ton. Thousands of foreign visitors
come to see it every year and they mar
vel at the beauty of the halls and court
yards formed by the olden Moors.
The Moors invaded Spain in the year

country, and remained for more than

He got a big handful of cotton waste
and pulling it apart scattered it on the
floor near the old coat. A few minutes
later Mrs. Whitefoot discovered it and
it was plain to see that she was ex-
cited. She seized a mouthful and car
ried it back under the coat. Then out
came Whitefoot and did the same thing.
Then, how those two did work! Back
and forth they Scurried, carrying that
cotton waste home, until at last every
particle of it had disappeared.
And such happiness as there was in
that old can! There were two nests
there now: one for Mrs. Whitefoot and
the babies and one for Whitefoot. 1t
didn't take them long to discover that
they had only to run a foot or two
from the old coat to get all sorts Of
goodies spread there for them. You see
Farmer Browns Boy was doing his best
to make friends with these little peo-
pie, and kept supply OF food for
them.
Often in the evening he would sit
close by while they ate, and it didn't
take them long to understand that this
great giant was friend and as such
not to be feared So Whitefoot grew
bold and actually took a bit of food
from a hand held out to him. After
that, in surprisingly short time, he
did not hesitate to climb up in the
lap of Famer Browns Boy. Mrs. White
foot was not quite so bold, but at least
even she forgot her fears, and allowed
Farmer Browns Boy to gently ctroke
her as she sat on his knee eating.
So there in the old sugar house in
the Green Forest everybody was happy.
Never had Whitefoot and Mrs. White
foot felt more safe. Never had they
had more comfortable home. Never
had they had so many good things all
at once to eat And Farmer Brown S
Boy was quite as happy. 1t was won
derful feeling to know that these little
people of the Green Forest trusted him
and had no fear of him. So, evenings
when there was no work to do he spent
much time playing with these confid-
ing little friends Yes, there was much
happiness in the old sugar house.

This is q year when many
people seem to be baffled about
what to wear on Christmas
Day. The fact that it comes on
Sunday makes the problem
harder, for gay though the day,
it Is still Sunday. Most Christ
mas parties are rather simple
anyway, and the majority are
made up of your own family to
a large extent, so that they
are suitable for Sunday. And
if you are of a mind to give a
rather gay party, you shouldn't
mind wearing q gay dress. So
the way you spend the day de-
