 Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

"What color Is the Jones'i housc2"
 "Who teaches Number 9?" e
 What makes watch yo7"
 "What do you call the plant or the table?"
 What do you call the buildingi where steel is made? And iron, what are places called that man. ufacture things "
 These are . new suggestions foi easy "Ask me Another's" for chil. dren.
 There Is no better way to en- courage observation, fix memory and knowledge, than this simple little diversion.
 Today's children are woefuily lacking in facts, for some reason or other. The reasons have been dis cussed to great length and pinned generally to an over-bugy age. But I think not. I believe that minds are not greatly concerned with help- ing themselves, the outcome of pre- digested knowledge being handed them "canned."
 Providing Main Spring for Mind
 While this is an advantage. 1t can also be a hindrance. if 1t causes brains to take 1t too easy. Brains that try to remember what someone else says or does are overworking on one line and underworking on others.
 General knowledge of the world and people. of events and things. must come first hand to become . real entity in the child's life.
 Tell him the Jonecs house is green. and next week hell forget. Ask him. and then make him go and look at M. He won't f0r- get. Get him into the habit of looking for himself and registering impressions. and you have inteili- gence. not mere intellectually. 4 big difference.
 Sometimes the child will have Q inquire. So much the better. n doesn't matter who teaches Room Q But if he asks. end finds out, be will know one mere act. If possible try Co stimpulate fur.theif inquiry While he is about it. the bright boy or girl win ask who teaches and 10 also. it is not merely ans aweN wa are after 'N ti1's auRaGinf

stagnant water of the mind, that has become too accustomed to reflect the sky. until 1t forgetS it has c life and power of Its own.
 One reason I might add to causes of this growing inertia to general knowledge, is over-interest along special lines.
 Interest Blind Child to World
 The boy who will not bend his talents to anything besides me- chanics, will deliberately close his eye and mind to simple things out. side his hearts hobby. lie can 90 to the woods for botany specimens, and not see or care about the names or tress, or notice whether there ig . hill or . hollow about, or which way the road winds.
 A girl can become % obsessed with high grades in school that she won't take the trouble to inquire the name of the big building she passes two thousand times . year.
 A spring makes the watch 60. And ( spring, seif.winding. fnuat make the mind 90. The spring Of inquiry, that motivates the sprockets of investigation and observation.
 Nothing is too small or too com- mon for discovery. Maybe the table 'plant" is merely growing carrot turned fern for the time and scr- ing As decoration. But to know it. is different from merely accepting it as "that green stun"
 As for plants of another kind, can you diifercntiate between . mill and 6 factory? Do you know that iron is not made in mills. but 'sfurnhceg''7

GlorUing Yourself
PLAN SANE DIET AFTER HOLIDAYS
By Alicia Hart

AFTER HOLIDAYS
 Make up your mind now that no matter how badly you want to lose a few pounds. after the holidays you won't go on . tricky, unbalanced diet or 6 brief, violent exercise jas.
 It's a good Idea to go without solids and drink only fruit and veg etable juices for 4s hours. but. after that. you ought to eat three meals day, cutting down on the amount of food rather than the varety.
 Have vegetables, salads. meat and light desscrts, but eat about 50 per cent less of each that you usually do. One chop instead of two. mod crate sized piece of toast instead of a whole. huge slice, and so on. In other words. leave the table feeling AS though you could eat quite a lot more. You will certainly lose weight on this kind of sensible diet. but you won't be running the risk of in- turing your health.
 For example, you might have orange juice, coffee and . small piece Of dry toast for breakfast; soup. a large salad of fruits or veg etables. an. milk for luncheon: veg etable juice. one lean chop. small portions Of two or three vegetables and stewed fruit for dinner. vege- tables and salads are bulky enough to appease your hunger yet they are low in caioTies.
 Be scnsible about exercising. too. remembering that it is better to do . few simple routines each and ever morning than three or jour vigorous, back breaking steps only now and then. Walk At least mile . day. stepping along briskly and inhaiin. GcepiJ.
 Remember. also. h'.S important correct posture is Jniess you are very much ovs,Neight. your stoln- sch will lons dat and hips sliininer fl you staud as you should.

 Doctors used to pay much more attention to the tongue than they now do. It once was ctistomary for the doctor to look at 6 patients tongue and to pay great deal Of attention to the kind of coating 1t had upon 1t, or to its color.
 Scarlet fever victims frequently have what S called strawberry tongue." When the tongue k furred and coated, there is usually some distufbance of digestion. A fever, or any other condition which causes dryness of the mouth, will be re- fiected very promptly in the appear ance of the tongue.
 The tissue of the tongue is fair Iy delicate, 70 that 1t responds promptly to irritations. Thus, the tongue may be suddenly infiamed ky bites, burns, or by secondary in- fections while a patient b suffering from scarlet fever, typhoid, or smallpox.
 Whenever the tongue b infected, the glands under the jaw and on the sides of the neck also become in- fected and swollen in the attempt to stop the spread of the infection.
 occasionaliy, the tissue which holds the tongue is too long at birth. This develops into some exceedingly unusual conditions.
 If the tissue is abnOrmally long, the tongue may fall back in the throat, and be swallowed during sleep. asphyxiating the victim. This has happened in recorded cases.
 The tissue which holds the tongue oykrgrows go that 1t protFudes be- yond the lips, and condition has been described in which only one half of the tongue develops prop eFiy, % that one half is larger than the other.
 When children have an iEsufii. cieflt amount of secretion of the snyfoid gland. the tongue seems large and t almost invariably pro- trddes from the mouth in the type of thyroid deficiency called cretin- ism or myxedema. As will be shown Iatef, when there k deficient secre- eon of the thyroid gland. the child usually fails to develop. both men, tally and pisJ9ically.
 when the tongue b cnronicalls infiamed and rcd. a digestive dis turbsnce or sensitivity Co various soods may be responsible. In these eases there sometimes is found de. &ezsncy in the important vitamiFis, esflicularly of vilamin 2.

THE EASY TO DIGEST TALLACX
 Many physicians and specialists still exclude from the diet or rec strict the allowance of dark meats in certain circumstances, though there is no good reason for this. Years ago the doctors imagined dark" meat contained more uric acid forming material. than light meat, but precise chemical measure rnerits of the proportion of purines (nitrogenous material from which uric acid b deriyed) show that there is no significant difference between light and dark or white and red meat in that respect. For that mat ter, 1t is far from an established fact that uric acid is Q cause of any ailment. One has to accept the uric acid theory on faith alone, and precise measurement of the amount of uric acid in the blood in . given case b aS likely to disap- point as 1t is to bear out the theory.
 Tn his classical work Preventive Medicine and Hygiene" Rosenau falls into this traditional error when he says (p. 733): Tn fact. pagteur- ization tends to make the curdB smaller and in this way, perhaps easier to digest" Except in the inl- agination of the old timers. there is no ground for the notion that milk h more digestible if the curds, which naturally form during digestion, are kept smaller than normal by the physical or chemical change brought about by heating or otherwise pro- cessing the milk.
 Sleepy, backward practitioners, family doctors and specialists, still frown upon fried foods" and imply that a friend potato or fried egg or fried fish or fried meat iS more "difilcuit to digest" than 8 baked steamed, boiled or otherwise cooked or half raw piece of meat or other item. Actual investigation of this question, however, showed the nos ton s just as groundless as most of the other quaint dietetic views which are still imposed upon unsophisti- catsd patients. In his little book, What We Eat and What Happens to It" fHarperg), Hawk says: "Our tvolunteer gubJects stofnachs did not share the popular prejudice against fried foods. In fact, the average emptyipg time (peDiod when stomach digestion B finished and the material passes on into due odenum) for fried potatoes was shorter than that for baked and boiled potatoes"
 Prof. Hawk further observed that French fried potatoes tarTied 70 per cent longer in the stomach than German fried. If they were the humbug French fried you get in 97 per cent of Yankee eating places no wonder: under that name the restaurants in this country gener- ally serve the soggiest mess irnagin- able. Anything soggy digests more slowly. Besides. 1t is TO fun chew ing soggy stuff and darn little pleasure eating it--and the mas ticating and the pleasure Of eating have great deal to do with the efiiciency of digestion.
