bad Taste" May Be Eliminated
In Mild Laxatives For Children

| or three hours after meals, when
the contents Of the stomach are
being emptied into the intestines.
II the action Is not to be on the
stomach ct all, remedies may be
given In especially coated capsules
or with special coating on pills,
which makes 1t impossible for the
remedy to be released until 1t gets
into the intestines.
In connection with cathartics and
laxatives there should be also some
discussion on the enema. This has
been greatly popularized In recent
years, although 1t is one Of the
Oldest methods Of treatment known
TO man.
An enema is q means of intro
ducing fluid or drugs into the bow
els from below, either to assure
action Of the drugs or action Of the
bowel.
For very small babies, enemas or
injections are given with q pear
shaped soft rubber-tipped ear syr-
inge. These are also made with hard
rubber tips. but for little babies, the
soft tip Is better than the hard one.
These syringes hold about a wine
glass full Of fluid, which Is about as
much as should be injected at any
one time into the bowels OF an in
FAINT. In these injections, the bulb
Is squeezed as slowly and gently as
possible.
For grownups the ordinary foun-
tain syringe is used. The best types
are those OF glass or tin, graduated
so that amount Of the material and
rate Of the flow can be estimated.
Enenias are given with material
which is retained for the treatment
Of the bowel or with drugs which
will be absorbed for the effects on
the body generally.
There are nutrient enemas which
contain food, given to people who
cannot take food In other ways.
There are also enemas which are
planned to fill the body with fluids.
In place Of laxatives and cathar-
tics, one uses enemas Of plain wa
ter. or soap and water, or glycerine
and salts, or soapsuds and salts, or
Of other irritants. Strongly medical
ted enemas never should be used
except under the specific direction
OF q doctor.
EneEnas are especially useful when
the obstruction Is In the lower part
Of the bowel. II the enema Is PLAN
ned merely to empty the lower part
Of the bowel, 9 pint Of fluid injected
rapidly with the patient sitting
down will do the work.
II q complete cleaning Of the bow.
FL Is the aim, one or two quarts
OF water. preferably warm, intro
duced with the patient either lying
on his side or IN the knee-chest
position, that 10 to say kneel with
the chest touching the bed, will do
the work.
eoapsuds are irritating to many
people. For such cases, q teaspoon
fiiI 70 baking soda 10 q pint Of
water may be useful.

True, IL is impossible to regulate

cruelty strict. This should not be

PARENTS

Here Is O subject I must handle
without gloves. 1t concerns the
childs worry about his parents
moral conduct.
The parents may be the very es-
sence Of purity, but II the boy or girl
gets II into his or her head that all
Is not right, according to their puri-
tanical young consciences, we have
one Of the greatest factors IN the
world for unexplained conduct.
I am not speaking Of immortality
In parents, but Of the imagined
foolishness or indiscretions that the
child may pick up and exaggerate
from the most infinitesimal causes.
One day lady called, the next
day after party, and leased her
friend about q dinner partner who
had been most attentive. The
hostess small daughter was listen
ing, although they thought she was
reading book. For days thereafter
the child was unbearable and cross,
and on one could make 1t out.
Long after, the mans name came
UP at dinner and the little girl burst
into tears. "Oh. that old. old fooll"
she screamed. II hate himl"
She had never even seen the
man. Memory flew swiftly, and
her mother sensed the moment Of
the damage. She asked the man
and his wife to dinner and
bridge. The little girl was pres
ent. The man paid his hostess the
most courtly attention, and the
father paid his feminine guest some
compliments. Little by little the
child was drawn into the warmth
of the meeting. 1t was all so nat
ural that she forgot about the silly
remarks OF the caller. And not one
word had been said to her. A, denial
would only have made things worse.
( Child Is Sensitive IA.
But there Is great lesson to be
learned from 1t, I think. Children
are more sensitive about their par
ents than anyone else In the world.
Far more sensitive than they are
about themselves. They cringe II
they think their beloveds are over
stepping the bounds Of good taste.

Despite all that Is said In favor
of soap and water, many women al
ways clean their faces and threats
with cream. Recently I talked to q
washington woman who never since
infancy has had soap on her face.
Her skin is smooth, clear and un-
lined. 1t appears, therefore, that
1t matters not how you clean your
skin II you clean 1t thoroughly.
To clean properly with cream,
smooth q thin layer Of O quick
melting or an all-purpose variety
from the base OF your throat up
ward to the hairline. Use rapid
rotary strokes to dislodge surface
dust and dirt. Then, with cleansing
tissues. remove every trace Of the
cream. Smooth on another coat,
patting and slapping this into your
skin. Don't stop slapping until your
face CLOVIS. Remove with tissues,
and don't be too gentle while you
are doing 1t. It Is important that
you remove all Of the cream and
that you stimulate circulation while
you are about It. -
II your skin Is oily and you DO
not want to use soap, always
clean FIRST with cream, then with Q
greaseless liquid cleanser.
In the morning. use only one
layer Of cream and remove this
with q rough wash cloth which
has been dipped in very hot water.
Wiring out the cloth and repeat two
or three times. This removes al
Of the grease, opens up lazy pores
and leaves your skin fresh, glowing
and ready to receive foundation and
makeup.
, Business women ought TO keep iiq-
uid cleansers IN the once. There
are several greaseless as well as oily
types, both Of which are TO be
poured on cotton pads, then whisk-
ed over the skin before one applies
fresh cosmetics.
