The Family Medicine Chest-Article No Keep Medicine Chest In Order For Family s
 Health And Safety, Urges Dr. FiShbein
Many Cabinets CIuttered With Articles That Are
 Needless

wives need a lot of education con. corning the significance of what are actually effective and useful house. hold remedies.
 A household remedy should be one with a certain definite action, and usually 1t should contain but one active ingredient. If the thing Is worth keeping in the medicine chest it should be something which is used fairly frequently.
 Dangerous poisons have no place in the family medicine chest. A dangerous poison is one which Is likely to produce serious symptoms or death if taken in even moderate amounts.
 Prescriptions ordered by the family doctor for a certain illness should never be kept for the future. If any of the material remains in the bottle 1t should be poured promptly into a safe place of dis- posal. Since useful bottles are rare around most homes, the bottle may be thoroughly washed with hot water, dried and stored away.
 Few people realize that most drugs deteriorate with age and that a prescription for a certain illness is not likely to be useful for the future.
 In several articles that will fol- low this one I shall discuss the items which should and should not be in the family medicine chest.

gpYOUR
 CHILDREN
By Olive Roberts Bsrton
6NsS Lz Ezz slsEsES' ls;E;

Biting fngsrnaiIs is q nervous habit which an addict should try to shake.
 The self-conscious fingernail bitter often tries to hide her hands. It just can't be done and 1t b much better to be as unself-conscious as possible and then start in to mend your ways.
 Children should be taken fin hand. The same treatment applies for children and adults. The best way to break the habit is to coax along what flngernails you have left until you develop . pride In them. It can be done!
 Start in with a manicure by a sympathetic professional manicur- ist. Having her do your nails is something. She will loosen the cuticle and that Is the first step because that tight cuticie Is what irritates and makes you put your nails back to your lips.
 Let her loosen 1t all up and cut off the dead flesh around. Let her clean out the sides of the cuticle as clear as possible. She won't file your nails, but she will smooth them off with emery board. And she will put on some soothing salve, get them immediately clean and then put on clear polish.
 The first day they look better. Tho gleam of the polish and that first flare of pride will do lot to keep you from picking at them. Push back the cuticle every time you wash your hands and oil 1t with vaseiine at night. Have q manicure weekly.

Frank, aged i've, was playing De Soto-his tour of exploration being limited to the block in which he lived instead of the Mississippi Valley.
 He saw a big white dog cross the block of grass in front of . house and trot around to the back yard, Frank crossed the grass and followed the dog.
 The Millers were on the porch. "Hey there, boy, keep or the grass. What are you doing here3" boomed Mir Miller's voice from behind the vine.
 Frank stopped like startled deer, then padded back to the pavement as fast as he could go. His eyes were big. Nobody had ordered the dog away. But then, he was Q boy!
 He went along for . couple of houses and sat down on some steps. It was nearly bedtime and he was tired.
 Two rose bushes grew on either side of the top step. He crawled over to one and smelled the single big red rose that was out.
 A girl on . bicycle rode up to the steps and dismounted. Don't touch that rose," she said sharply. Run along home. If hadn't \ come you would have pulled 1t, wouldn't you"
 T was just smelling it."
 "Well, go home. You mustn't sit around on other peoples steps.
 the steps. He stood looking up and down the street. He didn't want to go home. That meant bed. He proceeded with his cruis- ing.
 In "Wrong'' Again A green car stood beside the curb. It looked like Uncle Mack's car but he knew 1t wasn't. How ever, he sat down on the running board and, picking up some little twigs, laid them beside him. He made q square and big "A" and
 "scram!" yelled Q young man kid. But clean off that mess first. Of all the impudence!"
 Frank brushed off the twigs and walked away backwards, his finger in his mouth, big eyes staring at this new Nemesis.
 Finally he turned and ran.
 Before he got home again, how ever, he had been told by cross old man who had to step sideways to get out of his road to watch where he was going" had been or. dered away from parked baby carriage into which he was peep ing, and had had child's wagon jerked from under him by an im- patient mother who accused him of being about to steal it. Mothers Affection
 At last he started home. He hadn't gone far when he heard his mothers anxious voice calling "Frankie!" over and over.
 "Goodness but was worried" she cried. T thought daddy was here while I washed the dishes. You mustn't wander away, dear Someone might want Q nice little boy and take you away" DO people like boys7" asked
 Like them!l She gave him Q big hug and cuddled him on her lap. Like them. I should say so. That's what little boys are for, to make people happy. There, dear" she slid him down. "Get it." Mrs simpson next door was holding out Q bouquet.
 Frank went over slowly, took the bouquet, and ran.
 Thank you," called his mother. Then, You mustn't be so scary, dear. People aren't going to hurt you. They like little boys"
 Frank yawned. If he had been ten years older he would have an- swered that with the well-known Bronx cheer.

and strain through fine wire sieve or cheesecloth. Add water, pouring it through the fruit pulp. Turn into a mold and freeze. Serve in tall glasses with a sprig of fresh mint in each glass.
 Any fresh fruit is used this same way-the highly sweetened juice diluted with water.
 In using canned fruits, extra su- gar must be added and the fruit and juice cooked about ten min- utes until heavy syrup is made. Then the syrup is strained and combined with water as for fresh fruit.
 Directions for Chilling
 If the granite is to be chilled in a crankless freezer. use three parts let stand one hour. Scrape down the edges of the mixture as it freezes. This hastens the chilling process.
 A particularly delicious com bination is made with currant jelly and orange juice. One large glass or one standard measuring cup of currant jelly, one cup or- ange juice, one cup sugar and three cups water are the propor- tions to use. Make a heavy syrup of the water and sugar by boiling them for twelve minutes. Stir in the jelly and when cool add orange juice. Strain into freezer and freeze.
 Fruit Juices Are Handy.
 Ginger ale adds sparkle and pep to . fruit punch. carbonated wa- ter gives a tang. while tea dis tinctly changes the flavor, These all give character to a mild punch where as plain water merely less sens the fruity taste and increases the quantity.
 Don't hesitate to combine fruit juices. The excessive juice left from the canning Of small fruits can always be used to advantage in summer drinks.
 Lemon or lime juice give . plea. ant fartness to all fruit punches and should always be added if at all possible.

 Most Americans, being independ- ent and individualistic, feel them- selves competent to fix defects in the plumbing and almost equally competent to take care of their own disturbances of health, as well as to prescribe for more complicated disturbances which really ought to have the prompt attention of a physician.
 If one looks over the average family medicine chest he Is likely to find 1t full of strange concoc- tions and things of all kinds-an array of disorders which actually endangers the family's health and safety.
 A survey which I made of the contents of the medicine chests of 0 considerable number of families brought out some exceedingly in- teresting information.
