EH YOUR CHILDREN
 Rx Olne Roherts RartcN ;
SNSs SS ES7 sfs17c1: "a

Recently I wrote about my ex- perience with one of my children who one time took the notion that she was adopted, and the extreme ly difficult position in which l found myself.
 After discovering the serious emotional disturbance that could occur in case of the adopted child, I reached the conclusion. or rather had it forced on me, that the course of wisdom was to postpone the announcement until the child was older and had other deep in- terests outside the home.
 My mail has been interesting, many mothers agreeing that my sentiments were their own. But others are troubled. They believe the best course is. to let the little member of the family not born to them, the truth.
 At once I wish to say that this Is a mater In which no outsider, including myself, can step in and give directions. It is most cer- tainly personal one, a sacred one each mother having to work out the problem for herself.
 Adoption Is Noble Act
 But to those who have put the question up to me, say this:
 Adopting a baby or little child. T believe, entities the army of foster parent to first place in heaven. It is the noblest act, the finest gesture of which the human race is capable.
 The love of such a child for its parents and their love for it is in no way any different from that of the emotional relationship existing between the natural child and his parents.
 He grows up secure in that love, depends on it, lives in it, holds it deep in his being and faces the world with it as his shield.
 Therefore, if the child is to be told, 1t seems that the time should be well chosen, so as not to come as bolt from the blue, that finds him unprepared.
 Caution From Start
 If I saw trouble ahead by not telling, and knew that the news would come better from me than from some casual outsider, should not let him become set in the idea that he, or she, were mine. From the very start he would know and continue to know that I was his '.auntie'' or his dear friend.
 In case I found myself involved (the child by circumstances and his slowly developing reason hav- ing come to believe he was my own), and I still thought 1t best to break the news at an early date, I would pray for guidance and try to choose a moment when, for the time being, some other deep in- terest was holding him, and l my self was not too important in his emotions. Let us say perhaps, the joy of new pet or a thrilling adventure.
 It is for each another herself to decide. Probably no two cases of adoption are quite alike. The fear that someone else will tell is well grounded. This leaves the three general alternatives, think, either to avoid letting the child believe he is ours from the first; or to choose the right hour. when the attendant sorrow or shock will be lessened by some other great happiness; or to wait until he. is much older and his worldly inter- ests will in part compensate for any emotional disturbance.

 Answer - Carbonated water. sparkling water, soda water, sel- tzer, fizz, charged water or what ever you prefer to call it, is not advisable for habitual use. It s stimulates increased secretion gas- tric juice. Habitual use causes hyperchlorhydria, excessive acidity of stomach. .Predisposes to gastric ulcer and chronic gastritis.
