 Your ChiIdrgn
By Olive Roberts Barton

There are two kinds of obedi- ence, conditional and uncondi- donal. the latter being the "toot sweet" kind or "do as I tell you at once: the first being the "talk 1t over" way.
 Both are right at the right time and place, but to know just when that is takes fine judgment.
 It is always bad to argue with a child, if he is putting up real argument. Many times a mother or father will call it "argument" when a boy is merely stating his case or explaining his reasons for wanting to do something which he thinks quite fair. An argu- ment in which the child delib- erately tries to talk down his parents, to corner them, is an- other thing indeed.
 Fairness Is Mandatory
 Suppose John wants to go swimming. If he has already been in the water twice that day, his mother may say simply, "You cannot go," without further fuss. John wants to argue her down, per- haps, but he knows he is being un- reasonable without her telling him SO. Tn this case unquestioning obed- fence is the right thing. But if John wants to go swimming some morn ing in a new place that she is not sure of, a little qualifying of her quick denial might well take place.
 What about this pool John?'' she might ask. q don't think I want you to go so far. Maybe you'd better not try it."
 "It's just the same as ours," says John, land MT. Head told us about 1t. All the fellows are go- ing. You could call him up and ask"
 Now just because John puts it so reasonably is not obligating us to agree with him, and we are still free to make up our minds.
 But if we say, NO, I think I'd rather have you here" the little argument has not hurt anyone.
 There was merely a little dis cussion because John felt that we ought to know all the facts be- fore making fair decision. Coaxer Becomes Nuisance
 The child who is allowed to coax for every privilege soon be- comes an unbearable nuisance. It is an easy habit to acquire, and made all the easier because often a mother cannot make up her mind quickly enough. She gets up a wall herself at first, largely also from habit, and waits to be worn down before consenting. When her nerves no longer can stand the strain, she says, "Oh, yes, go on, and let me alone" It is fatal to good dicipline. The mothers mind is as clear as wa ter to the habitual coaxer, or he would get discouraged and give up. And just as annoying is the professional arguer. He doesn't coax, but browbeats patience in another way. He Is glib with req sons that he insists are better |. than his mothers. The coaxer acknowledges authority but wheed- les. The arguerer puts his opponent in wrong entirely.
 Both are bad habits and each can be discouraged by establish ing in child's mind the fact that mothers final word is law. She must judge when to insist on un- questioning obedience, and when to enter into short discussion of the case. She must be neither too strict nor too lax. She should also try to let her boy use his own good judgment whenever possi- ble, and not irritate him with numerable unnecessary orders.

 Classic, sculptured effects and a general upward movement will dis tinguish fall cultures. In keeping with the luxurious and distinctly feminine mode, soft curls and rolls will be important. But hair of the face and backward over the ears are points to keep firmly in mind. The best hair styles will be cleancut looking, as though done by n1eti- culous sculptor. Fuzzy nipples and little curls which drip down around the nape of the neck are out!
 If you have been wearing your hair the same old way for years and years, get busy now and try to flg- ure out a new coiffure. If 1t hangs straight down all around, try brush ing 1t up and away from your face for few days. Ten chances to one this simple gesture will make you feel as well as look younger. Or, if you have been wearing three waves on one side and two on the other since you can remember, try elimi- mating one on each side and having the remaining ones wide, soft and flat. Eschew tight, narrow waves which make one look as through she had just left a beauty shop.
 Naturally, the first important step toward new coiffure is a well planned routine to make hair healthier, therefore prettier. The new fall permanent will be much more satisfactory if you have a weekly hot oil treatment and brush for ten minutes each night for a month before you get 1t.
 After that, consider various hair dos which will be practical for your particular mode of life. An intricate arrangement, such as a pampered darling of the rich might choose, will be only a nuisance to one who goes to an offlce bright and early every morning and stays there all day. The ideal coiffure for any woman is just as wearable and ap- propriate as It is flattering.

 There are certain times of the year when the pollens begin to blow and persons who are sensi- tive to them begin to suffer with the sneezing, coughing and mu- cous membrane congestion typical of hay fever.
 During the spring, the pollens Of trees are the most common of- lenders in causing hay fever. In the earl y summer, the pollens come from grasses, roses, corn; such flowers as the daisy, dande- lion and lily, and such weeds as the pigweed, smartweed and dock.
 Timothy is an important cause of hay fever from June through August. Redtop is frequent cause from June through Septem- Der. and orchard grass from March through August.
 The hay fever that occurs in the fall usually is more severe, lasts longer and affects more peo- pie than that occurring in the early spring and summer. Fall hay fever is caused mostly by the pollens of the ragweed and sage brush, which flower at that time. The pigweed and tumbleweed may also go to seed and spread their pollens.

The Family Doctor
Relief From Hay Fever Often Obtained
 By Avoiding Offending Plant Pollens
T. M. Reg. U. S. Pat on.

Many of the grasses have a sec- ond period of pollination late in the summer. These are, of course, windblown plants and weeds.
 There are other plants in which the pollen is not blown about by the wind. la such cases the pa tient gets the pollen by putting his nose down into the flower to smell 1t and thus inhales the pol len.
 Symptoms of hay fever usually continue until the flowers of the ragweed are killed by frost m September or October. If the au- tumn is unusually hot, the hay fever may last much longer.
 In some people, symptoms con- tinue even after the first frost be- cause enough of the pollens have been taken into the body and enough disturbance caused to carry the discomfort over until proper treatment is applied.
 Sensitivity to pollens is not ex- clusively a condition associated with the rich or the poor, the proud or the humble, the aristocrat or the commoner. It has affected all alike.
 Daniel Webster, 1t is said, suf- fered from hay fever 20 years but did not have the symptoms during one summer which he spent in Scotland. Henry Ward Beecher had hay fever and obtained re lief when he went to the Catskill mountains.
 Judge Gary said that he go re- lief from his hay fever in rorth- ern Michigan. But Henry Mencker has had hay fever for a good many years and claims that he has not had relief anywhere.
 As people have travelled about and as intercommunicatio has grown, certain districts which formerly had the reputation of be- ing free from hay fever have lost that distinction because people from other sections have brought ragweed and other products of civilization in with them.

 It sounds well to speak of a well balanced" diet but it has no more definite meaning than the quaint advice that the patient should have nourishing but easily digest ible food. As nearly as I can make out, "well balanced" formerly jn- piled that the days rations should provide two to three ounces of pro- tein yielding 240 to 360 galleries, two to three ounces of fat yield ing 560 to $40 calories, and twelve to fourteen ounces of carbohydrate (starches or sugars) yielding l4A0 to 1880 calcries. Later "weIl bal- anced" came to mean that the diet should include reasonable propor- tions of foods from animal sources meat, milk eggs, fowl, fish, cheese-and foods from vegetable sources = fruits, greeps, cereals, nuts, vegetables. Then newer knowledge of physiology made 1t evidence that perfect balance re- quired an adequate proportion of "roughage," indigestible material, fibre, cellulose, as the natural stim- ulus and aid to vigorous digestion. Still later we added a fine adjust- ment to the balanceand began to consider the daily intake of mineral elements pretty important in pre- scribing a diet. Lately we have learned that no matter how satis- factory the diet may be in all of these particulars it just can't keep you in top condition unless 1t in- cludeS adequate vitamins. And these is no guarantee that we shall not introduce brand new essen- tial of a well balanced diet by next November.
 Tn diabetes the quantity of car- bohydrates (starches and sugars) the patient can profitably consume is of course determined by his or her individual tolerance, and this is vital question to be answered by the physician in each case. In no other circumstances that I can conceive is it advisable for . per- son to attempt to live without starches. Aside from queer obses- sions of r1ear-doctors and food faddists there is no good reason why well folk or folk not so well should not take their fair ration of starchy foods daily. Tn saying this I am quite cognizant of the com mon notions about fermentation, gas formation and the like.
 This prejudice against "starchy" foods for grown-up dyspeptics is akin to the prejudice against sugar, candy or sweets for growing-up children. There is good physiology and good sense in the rule that re- fined. concentrated sugar is not SO healthful for youngsters as is sugar in its natural form--in milk, in fruits. The pure sugar tends to cloy the appetite, satisfies without supplying what the body needs, namely the mineral elements and the vitamins that milk and fruits contain. Likewise purified corn starch quickly satisfies appetite and is quickly absorbed and util- ized for muscular energy when needed, just as sugar is, but does not furnish the needed vitamins and minerals which grew in the vegetable or cereal from which the starch is obtained. Potato. for ex- ample, is a typically "starchy" food, but contains also some pro- tein, some fat, calcium. phosphorus, iron and vitamins A, B. c, 0. Re- fined sugar or starch, of course, contains none of these important nutritive clements.
