WOMAN,S REALM Lt

Your Children
By Ollve Roherta Barton

In spite of all advice in child training, the best thing for any mother to do Is to get a general picture of her boy or girl and treat them accordingly.
 There are children who do better If left to their own devices, as they are born with Q certain instinctive wisdom. Their sense of fairness and anxiety to please will carry them through.
 The timid child will always be tirnid. He needs, of course, to have his courage increased, and should not be unduly alarmed, but except for what little encouragement he can get from those around him, he will remain unaggressive and shy.
 Thus 1t goes on. We cannot make children over. It Is possible in very early years to do something about their general rnolding, and "condl- tion" them to what Is called nor- malcy, but pattern, wherever 1t comes from sticks to the bitter end.
 Character Is Constant
 When Q youth or girl goes hay. wire in their teens, maybe to the extreme of crime, this does not necessarily mean that this is their true pattern. On the way they have just taken a by-path that has led. to trouble. If facts were known, 1t is possible that there IS more real worth" in many so- called criminal than in numerous citizens who have never been tempt ed along lines outside the law.
 have never seen 8 human be- ing change his character. The child Is father to the man, every time And the baby is the making of the child. We bend the twigs of char acter, and shape the tree, but the pith of the wood, the nature of the bark and the susceptibility to drought or immunity from weather are still there.
 Study Each Separately
 suggest that each mother study out her children sriously, and then take such measures with each one as she thinks best. Her job Is to make each child still better than he Is. She cannot make blanket rule for conduct that will fit the whole family, and expect a miracle. Some children need more toughening, while others cannot stand the rigor- ous test. These can be reached by Q sympathetic approach. Some need the firm hand of discipline. be. cause 1t is their language and they respect the power that Is stranger than their own. Others will recede rather than advance under too strict pressure, and lose any sprout- ing courage they naturally possess.
 Parents should work together on the problem of how to develop the natural tendencies of each child, or discourage them, as judgment dic- tates. They must work with what they have, be as wise as they can and not hope for miracles. This hoping for the impossible, is the basis of too much disappointment in the home. | Copyright. 1897, NEA Service, Incl

FOOT ITCH AGAIN

Trench foot. athletes foot, foot itch, ringworm, tricophytosis, der- matomycosis, tinea, was one of the most common subjects of inquiry a few years ago. Now days go by without an inquiry about this con- dition. infer that people are avoiding exposure by taking the trouble to wear slippers or other foot covering when walking about the floor of swimming pool places, gymnasiums, hotel rooms, bath es- tablishments or when walking on the ground at beaches or wherever people go barefoot. Probably the general practice of requiring patrons of such places to step into Q foot bath of one or another paraslticidal or fungicidal solution has helped to reduce the prevalence of foot itch.
 The condition is due to the growth of e fungus in the skin. This fungus is present in fine scales that drop of from the affected skin. The scales readily convey the fungus to the skin of the next person to tread on the spot barefoot.
 The fungus may live in the lining of the shoe or in the stocking for days, weeks or months.
 Whenever any treatment is ap- piled for the relief or cure of foot itch, 1t Is necessary to treat the Things of all shoes that have been worn since contracting the disease. If this is not done, reinfection is quite likely. Reinfecpon may oc- cur when shoes are worn again after an interval of several months --say some white shoes put away ct the end of a summer season and worn again the next season.
 one good fungicide for the lining of shoes is plain gasoline (not fancy stuff). Pour an ounce or two in each shoe, swish it about to moisten the whole lining of the toes particularly, and drain 1t into the next shoe, and then set the shoes in an open air place to dry.
 Another good fungicide. which b also excellent for correcting foul odor when there is excessive sweat ing of the feet, is formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is strong stun and will burn and irritate skin if ap- piled undiluted. The standard For- Inaldehyde Solution Giquor For. madehydum) contains about 37 per cent of formaidehyde. ig 6 strong germicide dlsinfectant and pFeserva- ton.

An ounce or two of the diluted for maldehyde solution may be poured in each shoe and swished around to rnoisten the insole and the lining of the toe, then drained into the next shoe. After this bath the shoes should be allowed to dry in open air at least 24 hours before they are worn again. Formaldehyde does not injure cloth. fabric, leather or color.

 The thymus gland lies ia the chest in front of the windpipe. be- tween the lungs and above the heart. For years there has been un- certainty as to the exact function of this gland in life, and its nature Is not yet fully understood. During the first period of growth the thymus gland and small gland in the brain called the pineal gland are greatly concerned. The thymus gland is large during the first eight or nine months of life, after which 1t gradually gets smaller and final- iy disappears.
 If 1t fails to get smaller and con- tinue to send its secretion in large amounts into the body, changes may occur that are serious for life and health. If, however, the thymus gland fails to act during the carry years of life, the results are also serious.
 If the gland becomes quite large, It's situation Is such that 1t may cause difficulty la breathing and In the circulation of the blood in In. fants.

 If the thymus gland continues to secrete beyond the time when it should have stopped, the skin of the person concerned becomes soft, smooth and velvety. It develops what Is called peaches ana cream complexion. If 1t is Q boy and he becomes Q man, he may find that 1t IS unnecessary for him to shave or perhaps to shave only one Q week.

 This falls shorter daytime coif- lures and elaborate piled-high eve- ming styles call for healthy. gleam. ingly lustrous hair. You cannot ex- pect Q new permanent or Q new ar- rangement of curls and swirls to be satisfactory if your hair is too dry, too oily or too dull and lfelesS to hold Q wave.
 After a summer in the sunshine. hot oil treatments are in order. IT. your budget does not allow for pro- fessional ones, simply apply the warm oil at home the night before your appointment in the beauty shop. Massage scalp, brush hair, and part 1t hl small sections. Then put very warm olive oil on every inch of scalp. and massage again. Wrap 6 clean tower around your head and leave the oil on all night. Next day, have a regular sham-i poo.
 Persistent brushing really Is the cure-all for practically every hair problem. However, although rep utable hairdressers and cosmetics experts agree with this and advise their customers and readers to brush their hair each and every night, the fact remains that all too few women really do 1t. The majority own hairbrushes, but they don't use, them-at least not correctly and regularly enough to derive real hen- efit. Yet, if they would, less would be heard about dandruff, excessive oiliness, dry conditions, falling hair and such.
 If your hair is fairly coarse oj inclined to he dry, by all means try q lemon or vinegar rinse after each shampoo. Wash, rinse, wash again, rinse twice, then rinse with three quarts of lukewarm water mixed with the juice of two fresh lemons or half a cup of white vinegar (no' both). Always finish with . cles water rinse.

 action persists remain child-likee, self -centered and simple in their mental processes and initiativc.. whereas those whose thymus dis-@ appears too soon become easilys aroused to anger and are resentful.s Nevertheless while they seem quite. advanced when young, they never.

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS
 Psoriasis

Please give some suggestions for persistent psoriasis. I have had 1t for about fifteen years and some- times 1t seems almost cleared up, but always comes back. CT. s. B.
 Arswer-Best suggestions I can offer are d) SunbathS; (2) Large daily ration of vitamin D; (3) Diet to include plenty of fruits, nuts and fresh vegetables, milk and all kinds of cheese; (4) in certain cases where nnetabolisn Is slow, medication with ductless gland hormones supervised by the physician; (5) light x-ray treatments by skilled radiologist.
 Lime Water
 Is lime water helpful for the pre- servation of the teeth? If SO, how is 1t taken? My hair is silowly re- ceding and my teeth cause me con- siderable trouble. GIT. D. D)
 Answer-More lime in a quart of milk or an ordinary helping of cheese or 6 plate of beans or @ gen. erous dish of cole slaw than there is in Q quart of lime water. Food lime (calcium) more likely to be assimiiable than the lime in lime water. Adequate calcium assinii- iation essential for good teeth. Ade- quate daily intake of vitamin D essential for calcium utilization. Aside from supplementing vitatnin- poor diet with vitamin D conceh- trate, you can generate some vita min D of your own by exposing naked body to direct sunlight daily Copyright ie27' John '. pille ra'l
