.RAREngID-
Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

Compare the case of the high school girl who recently disappeared from her home because she never saw anything and never went any where" to that of the girl who re- marked, There's nothing left to live for," when being revived from attempted drowning.
 One starved for a little sight of the world away from lessons and housework, the other run-out at eighteen because of srrfeit and dis illusionment. The sight of store windows and busy people on the street were thrill to one; all the clothes, parties and excitement or big city had nothing more to give her more fortunate" sister.
 The lessons are so obvious that I might well Stoy right here, for the extremes tell their own story. But let us pursue the subject Of satiation in children, and discuss its dangers.
 Minor Adventures Enough
 There is tendency to head ad- vantages upon growing children without weighing such experiences to see if they are real advantages in the end.
 The parent wants to boy and girl to enjoy the world while they are young. In way this is correct, because the Maytime of youth is the time for lasting impressions. Life proceeds to be filled with one long series of Soul-SatiSfying thrills that cover everything from movies to travel, and from ice-cream cones to house parties and night life. But they are, perhaps, getting too much.
 The great horn of plenty showers on these inexperienced shoulders to- day far more thrills in a year than parents had formerly in a lifetime. Automobiles alone would do that, without the added indulgences Of the times. Now, granted that all these things are legitimate and broadening, it happens that there is less fortunate parallel being lived way down deep in the heart of each young adventurer. A les. sening of expectancy, lowering or appreciation and an increased long ing for greater and greater thrills, to compensate for the loss.
 Satiated Child Unenviable
 What a tragedy when a child reaches maturity having seen all, heard. all, experienced all. Boredom becomes chronic, and even marriage cannot remain vital enough to satisfy.
 Later youth, middle age, old age is yet to be faced. They will be al- most uncomfortable for the one who has lived youth and adolescence too fully with no surprises, no vague dreams to hope for and work for. It is ashes then, really.
 Children need the fillup Of ad- venture, and the settlements of new things. They do well under broad experience. But some things should be postponed, kept back so that fulfiIlment does not become a disease. There should always be some Arabian Nights story for an- other day. Simplicity should be the theme, and thrill merely the varia- tions. The ver-satiated child, or youth, is the most unenviable per- son on earth. To look ahead, to, hope and to plan, is one of the component parts of real happiness. Copyright, 1887, NEA Service, 1nc0

Paris Styles
By MARY FENTRESS

Paris (UP)-Vera Borea's summer collection shows higher waists for day and evening wear with short bodices that usually are draped. Shoulder width is maintained throughout but the sleeves are plain and straight in line.
 There are many cotton prints and linens shown for wear at all times of the day with bright yellow as the outstanding color. Bright colors are used for short little jackets over dark Skirts-for example, pastel blue is now shown with dark red, and rose is shown with dark gray. Cut out applied designs are used for trimmings for daytime and evening clothes.
 Blue and white linen is used for an attractive summer dress with a matching jacket. The dress is sleeveless and backless, with the neck outlined by an inch-wide band of white linen. The belt is of white linen also. The vtted, tailored jacket has the same inch-wide UdllUlIlS O1 WIlltc llIlC1I WIlASAA OuU- lines the neck, front opening and hem. A similar costume is made in white linen trimmed at the bodice of the dress with applied oak leaves of green linen. This backless dress has the same type tailored fitted jacket which opens wide i'll front to reveal the green trimming on the dress.
 Yellow is used over and over in the collection. One dress has short, straight sleeves, rounded neckline and is trimmed with an applied sunburst design on the front bodice. The belt is bright green in contrast. Pale yellow waffle line is used for another costume with a divided skirt. The square neck yoke of the dress is in lightweight navy jersey and the same material is used for cuffs and belt.
 TODAY'S FASHION TIP
 Yellow linen is popular for sum- mer wear.

 Heart Block
 Mother afflicted with what is call- de "heart block" believe this was caused originally by emotional dis turbance over a long period, worry about trivial matters, daily indiges- tiop. She is 62. (G. R. O.
 Answer-Due to various causes the impluse that controls contrac- .tion of heart is blocked so that perhaps there is but one contrac- tion of ventricle (pulse beat) to two or more contractions of auricle. Only the physician who studies and ob- serves patient can interpret heart block and give good advice. Copyright 1887, John F. Dille Co.)

and individual reactoin to en- vironment, as well as the char acter of his disease. The ad- vising physician should have an appreciation of these factors as well as knowledge of the par- ticular environment to which the patient is being sent. Con- tentment and reasonable com- fort are essential.
 8. There is no universally ideal climate. For each patient there may we'll be a most favor- able environment, if we are wise enough to find it. .
 9. There is a. reasonable amount of evidence that cer- tain medical types of cases are more favorably influenced by certain conditions of climate everything else being equal. For example, reasonably cold, dry, variable. climate, such as is found in the mountains, for young or vigorous constitutions which will react well. Dry, sunny climates for laryngeal cases and those with marked catarrhal secretions. Equable mild climates at low attitudes for the elderly and those of nervous temperaments, as well as for those with arterioscle- rosis, weak hearts. or marked tendency to dyspnoea.
 10. Successful selection of cli- mate and environment for cases of tuberculosis requires wide knowledge of human nature, of places, and of the disease. This can be acquired only by pa-. tience, skill and experience.

CALCIUM, PHOSPHORUS
 AND LIGHT

CALCIUM, PHOSPHORUS
 AND LIGHT
 Familiar sayings:
 "A man is as old as his arteries"
 "One is as old as ones heart"
 "A man is as old as he's feeling, a woman as old as she looks"
 "Age is a matter of feeling, not of years"
 Longevity is a vascular ques- tion."
 . "All would live long, but none would be old.'
 There are many more epigrams or wisecracks, as you please, that convey similar ideas about age. All of these pithy remarks have some truth in them. But not the whole truth.
 To believe that mans physio- logical age is determined by the condition of his arteries, that the length of his life depends on the quality of the material used in the making of his blood vessels may have been consistent with the med ical knowledge of the times when these sayings were coined. Today we have to consider what is caus- ing excessive wear and tear on the vascular structures and do what may be necessary to correct it. As we acquire greater Knowledge of physiology, pathology, hygiene and medicine, our view of this question becomes less fatalistic, more op- timistic. We give less thought to the patients progenitors and more to the patients progeny. With proper bushes I quote this bit from the red book Building Vitality" (of the Little Lessons in the Ways of Health series):
 "Grandfather'S doctor granted a liberal amount of .stimulants' and in due time mounted grandfather's pickled kidney in jar. Your doc tor warns you to cut out the high balls or else"
 That will give you the general idea in case you want to save the dime and stamped addressed enve- lope the read book costs. Many philosophers and poets, as well as physicians, who were both or neither. have harped on the theme of digging ones grave with ones teeth. Sir Wm. OSler, who got off the one above about longevity being vascular question, was much impressed by the part played by overeating in inducing arteriosclero- sis, and commended the aphorism of old George Cheyne who at thirty weighed AS pounds, but by diet and exercise reduced to 15O pounds and lived to be 72 years old and left to the world an essay on health and long life. This was Cheyne's thir- teenth aphorism:
 Every wise man, after Fifty, ought to begin to lessen at least the quantity of his Ailment, and if he would continue free of great and dangerous Distempers and preserve his Senses and Faculties clear to the last he ought every seven years go on abateing gradually and Sensibily, and at last descend out of Life as he aScended into it, even unto the Child's Diet"
 Never mind the seven year ob- Session-old George lived from 1871 to 1743 and in those days everybody had the seven year itch and every- thing else. in seven year terms.
 What all this has. to do with cal- cium, phosphorous and light may not be apparent at once, but it will all come out in the next chapter. Here there is room to say that youth and longevity depend largely on the state of the teeth.

 Baby Patsy goes to Mrs. Smiths with her mother to call. Mrs. Smith claps her hands as the little procession moves up her walk and beams. Here her tums."
 She runs out and stoops down to the little blue-clad figure. My, my, what booful coat. Wanta tiss-I does. A gweat big one an hug"
 Patsy submits to both, but as son as she can struggle away, seeks her mothers skirt, and stares at Mrs. Smith out of her great blue eyes.
 After the guests are settled, the kindly hostess, with the best intentions in the world, finds things for baby to play "wivv," as she says. But each time she addresses Patsy she changes her tone and distorts her words.
 The denouement comes when the serious eyed little girl looks up at her mother and says quite distinctly, What makes her act so funny?"
 Adults Are III at Ease, Too
 The truth is that adults not accustomed to little children are afraid of them. They try to stoop to the baby's level, literally and figuratively.
 It is a form of patronizing, and children resent it. Maybe they can't talk too plainly themselves, but that's different. When someone else tries it, they never see any sense to it.
 All through childhood this goes on. Par ents do it occasionally, but mostly it is rela- tives or strangers who are i'll at ease with children

 So frequent have recommenda- '-tions been made for removal vf tuberculosis victims to the south- west, or to sanitoria situated else where in the United States, that there was time when everyone who had tuberculosis immediately began to travel.
 Not long ago, however, the United States government, through its Public Health Service, pro- tested such shipping of patients to certain states when these peo- pie did not have the means to purchase necessities of life after they had arrived at the new loca- tion.
 The minimum costs of care ap- proximate $25 to $50 a week. Un- less an invalid is able to provide from $1200 to $500 year for his care, he cannot do himself much good by moving to another state in which neither his citizenship nor his residence is established. o When the burden of providing for himself in a strange town is added to that of the disease from which he suffers, the invalid loads himself with a handicap so great that 1t may mean the difference between life and death.
 After consideration of all phases In the climatic factor of tubercu- losis, Dr. James Alexander Miller Summarized the situation as fol- lows:
 V l. The regimen of regulated rest and exercise, proper food, ss and open-air life, is the funda- ,, mental essential in the treat !, ment of tuberculosis. Suitable climatic environment makes this < open-air life more easy, enjoy < able, and beneficial.
 2. When these essentials are
 assured, change of climate is
 of definite value in consider
 able number, probably the ma-
 jority, of cases, but with the
 proper regimen many cases will do well in any climate.
 }. Any change of climate in- j. yolving the fatigue of travel is 7. contra-indicated in acute cases VI with fever or hemorrhage, or in z very far advanced and markedly sr debilitated cases. Absolute bed z rest is the one essential here. q 4. No patient should be sent z, away in search of climate who \ cannot afford to stay the neces- :. sary time and to have the neces- \ sary food, lodging, and care. f 5. Competent medical advice
 and supervision are essential. 6. One of the most valuable ' assets of change is the educa- :, ton of the patient. This may, of course, be obtained in a suit- ' able environment without re- ]. Ard to climate, as in sana- hgiun near home.
