 Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

One of the earmarks of true breeding is the attitude of a person toward those who serve him.
 The employer who uses cour- tesy to his employe invariably stamps himself as gentleman or lady. It is the very essence of culture.
 Thus, it should be part of every child,s training to treat those who do for him, with politeness.
 It should begin, most assuredly, with the maid or the nurse in his home, or the occasional helper who comes in to assist with the general work.
 No child should be permitted to speak rudely to a maid. She, in turn, should not invite it. This is good rule to follow for the mistress of a house to demand quiet courtesy of everyone con- cerned and to see that children never insult or offend those about them.
 Root of AntagOnism One day I heard a small boy of five say something rather shock ing to his nurse. His mother blamed the girl.
 "She drives him to it" she ex- cused him. "He never acted that way when Mary was here" In such a case, which I doubt- ed, there is only one answer. To sift causes and discover the trou- ble, and then, if child and care- taker simply can't hit it off, part company all around. The girl would be happier some place else, certainly.
 A child often patterns his treat ment of the maid after that of his parents. If they are reasonably kind and conSiderate to her, the children soon see with their parents eyes, and adopt the same attitude. As usual, example is the best guide. While I am of the old school, and believe thoroughly in moth- CTS taking care of their own chil- dren, there is nothing to be criti- cized in the nurse idea, or the mothers helper who comes in to relieve her. One thing, however, I do think necessary, and this is to be sure that her temperament will go reasonably well with that of her charge or charges, and vice versa. Sometimes a certain an- tagonism breeds at sight, and from then on it is hopeless.
 Children Antagonize Servants
 It is also wise to make sure that the new employe understands not to tell frightening stories or to tease. While she cannot be a psychologist, or very rarely, still there are a few fundamentals that she should understand. Ger tain "verbotens," or "forbiddens," that every adult should know.
 On the other hand, courtesy, consideration and appreciation should be part of every child's training, big and little. If this were more universally the case, 1t would iron out many of the prob- lems of domestic help, and fewer mothers would be hopelessly looking for the impossible, a pride, and who will stand endless ill-treatment from the younger members of the family.

 Paris (UP).-The use of all kinds of lace has been revived by summer wear. Wool lace had small vogue for late winter and early spring clothes and several houses showed jackets and coats of felt which had been cut in imitation of 8 lace pat tern.
 The vogue is in full swing now for every thing from cocktail and dinner jackets to evening gowns and deshabilles. Helene Yrande uses pure white lace for a fitted desh- abille which has enormously full, puffed sleeves to the elbow. The low cut front decollette is filled in with doubled bands of chiffon in pale yellow and pale green. These two colorS are repeated in the chif- ion sash which is twisted about the bodice, Grecian fashion and tied in back with the flating chiffon streamers hanging in back and forming suggestion of a train.
 Jean Patou's version Is an eve- ming gown of soft white crepe, which is cut very low in front and back, the top of the bodice being finished with flat, turnover band of the material used on the bias. The shoulder straps are marrow and the sole trimming of the simple gown is an enormous flower of sheer black lace which si possed on the left hip just below the waistline. This gown is worn with sheer cape of the same transparent black lace. The cape can be worn n1antilla fashion over the head.
 Alencon lace is startcl1ed and ap- piled as border to the jacket and reyers of a smart black crepe cocktail suit. Other black dinner gowns have iong-sleeyed jackets of sss.rchcd. Z transparent white lace.

 Medical Association, and of
 Hygeia, the Health Magazine
 There are certain general rules of hygiene which should be prac- ticed by every diabetic and which are bound to be useful to him as they would, in fact, be useful even to normal people.
 The diabetic should not worry about his condition, because with modern scientific medicine he may look forward to long and useful life.
 He should get between eight and 10 hours of sleep day and, if pos sible, rest each day after luncheon.
 Fresh air and sunshine will help to invigorate the body and improve nutrition. The diabetic must, how ever, avoid the danger of sunburn because his skin is exceedingly sen sitive and any damage to the skin may result in severe infection.
 In order to avoid excessive dry ness of the skin, it may be rubbed occasionally with cold cream or lazlolin cream. The diabetic should avoid soaps which contain strong antiseptics because these will in- crease dryness of the skin and also the danger to infection.
 The diabetic must watch his feet carefully, wear proper shoes, con- suit the chiropodist about the care of Corns and calluses and have care full medical attention for every cut or bruise.
 The diabetic should never wear tight garters because of the dan ger of gangrene due to disturbances of circulation. For the same req son, the diabetic should not attempt to treat any slight wound of the skin with iodine or a cauStic of any kind.
 Exercise should be in modera- tion, depending on the age of the patient, the duration of the dia- betes, and the amount of food that he is able to take together with his insulin. In other words, ex- ercise must be regulated in relation ship to the total number of calories taken in and used up each day.
 Bathing should be practiced for cleanliness, with water of moder- ate warmth. Scalding must be avoided because of the danger of damage with subsequent break down of tissues.
 The diabetic frequently asks whether or not he may indulge in alcoholic beverages. Here again, he must known definitely the amount of calories that are provided. One gram of alcohol yields approximate ly Asceven calories. The diabetic should, however, avoid the use of sweet. soft drinks such as pop or ginger ale because of the sugar con- tent.
 Smoking in moderation is not harmful for the diabetic, but ex- ceSsive smoking may increase the blood sugar. Moreover, there seems to be some evidence that excessive

erence to the subject"
 For that matter, medical litera- ture in America is sadly degener- ated. Nine-tenths of 1t (bookS and current periodicals) is rehash and mostly defunct stuff at that. Amer ican medical literature is built te sell the sucker trade. Publicat tior of medical books and medical jour- nals is largely 8 racket. Really new developments or ideas are rejected by the publishers because they are new or "unaccepted." This policy keeps medical literature always five or ten years behind the prog ress of medicine. That's the way the old-timers like it. That's why chronic carbon monoxide anoxemia or anoxia or slow aSphyxiation is seldom recognized. Doctors huff it because they have never learned to recognize or even to suspect it.

SLOW CARBON MONOXIDE
 ASPHYXIATION

.. ASfH Y AlA1AON
 Thousands of persons, even news paper men, now know that the great majority of morons are gooc citizens, that aphasia means in- ability to speak and not inability tc remember. and that dope which thumbs the feelings does not neces- Sarily correct or cure the discom. fort or trouble one wishes to for get.
 A good many persons who have had a common school education now know what slight pollution oi the air with carbon monoxide gas for instance from the exhaust oi an automobile engine running in g closed garage or gas water heater with a sooted or defective burner in poorly ventilted house or small portable gas heater burning for a short time in a bath room or a gas heater without chim- ney burning ill a closed bedroom where person sleeps, may mear sudden death from carbon monoxidt gas asphyxia.
 It is slowly percolating through to the consciousness of the wiseacrt mind that the presence of a dan- gerous proportion of carbon mon. oxide gas in the air gives no warn. ing but overcomes the victim ane renders him poWerless to move ol to attempt to escape before ht loses consciousness and cease. breathing. As miners exposed t( after damp" the carbon monoxiGt gas left in the air after explosion of dynamite or other explosive say, the victim freezes" seems tt become suddenly fixed in attitude and deaf to cries of his mates ol in some instances resentful anc pugnacious if they try to rush ol drag him out of danger.
 Newspaper item records sudden collapse and death of a man in his home. Coroner's investigation in- dicated that carbon monoxide hac been contributing cause, though the man had been subject to heart disease. Immediately before his col lapse the man had walked through a tunnel where the air is constantly more or less polluted with carbon monoxide from automobile traffic.
 Carbon monoxide undoubtedly contributes to many premature fatalities where victims are al- ready in defective state from some chronic disease.
