 "It Is important" says Dr Bum desen, flor your child to brush his teeth to keep them clean and free from decay. But, 1t is even more Important for him to eat the right foods. This is especially true bee fore the teeth have come through the gums, because that Is when the teeth are being built.
 "The teeth, like other parts of the body, are made from the food we eat, To build strong. healthy teeth that can resist and fight de- cny. the child must eat the right foods--some to build strong teeth. others to exercise the teeth. and still others. which are coarse. to help massage the gums and clean the teeth.

 amount of care In the summer time. DuBt-flled air and sunshine that Is too bright are not conducive to eye comfort. The wise woman takes these things into considera- lion and plans her summer bean- ty schedule accordingly.
 CiennHe the eyes with an eyecup and a good antiseptic eye wash at least twice a day. A weak solu- ton of boracic acid Is recommend ed by many physicians but if you like to use a ready-made eye 10. ton there are several commercial brands on the market today. If there is one line of cosmetica that you prefer, try out the eye lotion made by that manufactures. # probably will please you and you'll have the feminine satisfac- ton of knowing that the bottle will match your other cream ana Be Bo careful about exposing your eyes to bright sunlight. If you're going t1 be on the beach or the rolf course without hat for many hours, wear an eye.shade or dark colored glasses.
 If YOU have frequent headaches or . burning sensation around the eyeiids, better have your eyes ex- amined to determine whether or not you need glasses. If the doctor recommends them, get them im- mediately. You may not like the idea but in the final analysis, they'll save you . lot of trouble.

Alot of good people who had become almost resigned to the sad concept promulgated by certain health adviser to the effect that q complete wet wash ls not necessary for health, Ut least not very often, arc now all upset by an item in- adverontly published on tho fun- ny---f moan the front page of tho newspapers quoting old Mr Lnd- Icy, who couldn't stand tho cli- mate In Antarctlca and had to como home. This tottering vaietu- dinarian announced in quavcring tono that no one takes a bath in Little America. for 1t means pneu- moniu!
 No wonder they shipped tho old gentleman homo. Hc must have beon a SOTO srlal for Commander Byrd. Tho Commander, l under. stand ia good clean fellow and as kind as m Eagle Scout to the aged and infrm. But even ho could chap who harbors such quaint notions.
 It Is too bad they wore unable to have Dr Conan along this time.

In Rome. for example. from the great Augustan Age (during which Christ was born) on to the Downfall, women enjoyed amazing freedom. They ruled absolutely in their households, made campaign speeches for their husbands and exercised enormous power in the state.

 Bedtime after six years at about 2 o'clock. Tho hour may be moved ahead slightly as tho child Rrowa, but X o'clock is not too early for tho child Of ten, And ih n good round hour for those in Junior high or the first year of High school,
 A table of sleep IA like any other rulo Tor routine care, some- ] thing that cannot bo adhered 10 perfectly Ut ail times; but beinR tho most vulnerable of all stand ard schedules, it needs to Do em- phasixed that nothing should in- terfere with regular hours except illnoss or emergencies beyond fam. fly control,
 In spring and summer it is SO easy to give In to coaxing. Nearly all children fight bedtime, But now that they arc playing harder and longer, they need not only tho full quota Of sleep hours. but even more.
 Avoid Fatigue
 Az to little children, the daily nap cannot be over-accented. Tho too-tired child either cannot sleep or will sleep fitfully and uneasily at night.
 Habit Is the best ally a mother can have. Every child should an ticipate his regular bedtime. A half hour before, his exciting play should be stopped. Ten minutes before, bedtime should be men, toned. He won't be jerked will ingly off to bed on the Instant, so give him just n bit of time. But donn't argue or let him argue.
 See that he is comfortable, has all his night supplies and his toilet needs attended to before his door is closed Then don't allow him to wheedle and whine.
 In summer he should be cool but watch the weather and adjust covers and windows accordingly Always go in later and see thai everything is right. Children siceT better in separate beds. Cots will do if they are level and comforta- bic.
 Too much hot sun will excite some children and this may inter. fere with sleep. Watch out for this in the coming months.
