 Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

Watch the face of any little boy or girl when interested. Nothing tugs ct the heart strings like the face of c small child intent oh some. thing that he loves to do.
 Today's mother and the modern Schools for beginners have learned ythe value Cf interest. Through his love of construction, for example, or her fondness for gtringing beads, the tot may Dc led to things beyond. In. terest provides ar avenue, as Nell as starting point, and It's value psychologically cannot Do overesti. mated.
 T don't want to go to school" declares Johnny. T don't like to make letters and read cut of books" If he hes some previous prejudice against school, he sets Up Q wall that is hard to mount But once inside, 10 and behold, he may be given blocks to build with, or some coiored clay to fashion Into cars.
 From Blocks to Scribbling
 As time goes ofl, perhaps he asks for harder things. He rSay even want to use colored chalk to Bcrib. bic on the blackboard. To him this Is harder, because he has always avoided writing. But even if he does not take kindly to chalk or pencil ct first, you sec that one great bar. rier has already been removed. He has learned by association to think school c very pleasant place.
 His interest once engaged, hlB mind is open rather than closed. He is anxious to prove himself, Whefe- as before he Bcorned pride. Even c healthy ambition begins to gprout, He can make c better bridge or O straighter track than Billy, his rival, Through his interest motive, he also learns concentration and persist ence. With 6 little delft persuasion, Johnny may als, be content to fin- ish c Job, even though he hos grown tired of 1t. 4 small childS interest ! can only Do fixed for short periods, ; but he viii Do more patient with the task that he tackled with 70 much eegerness ct first.
 ,l Many lessons can Do taught through the interest of the child but unless interest b used as . means to afl end, rather than for itI thrill alone there iB danger Of set- ting in any child, c habit of doina only those things that intrigue him Lost Without Pleasant Tasks Interest should lead to inc habit traits, rather than away from them There are 90 many people in the world who are lost when they lack the opportunity to work ct ths things they like to do. Such c pers son b constantly filled With con. fiicts, trying to force hlmsels up hllll each time he is faced with duty that Is uncongeniAl to him.
 The mother should have this in view when she uses the Idea oE At- tractlng the child to work. The cute little red broom should Do the nleaiil to an end, not merely tho thflll oi handling . new shiny toy. Even when 1t is worn, Mary should Dc willing to sweep up her crumbs. Inc Inice little stories about Peter NAb. bit are fascinating, but here again Interest is largely . means Co on lend. Once love of book b eBtab- |lished, real education begins. Tlfe child won't turn away and say, "l |don't ike books," because through original interest he will continue to digest anything that comes in book sospyrlahs. sSpI issY, MIA service, mo,

sURCEAsE FROM xERosIs

SURCEAsE FROM XEROsIS
 Dr. Webster says, and this time I agree, that xerosis (pronounced zeroSis) is abnormal dryness, as of the skin or eyes. Xeroderrna (pro- 1ouncd zeroderma) is e disease of the skin characterized by dryness and roughness and e fine scaly desquamation.
 xerosis or xeroderna refers to no specific skin disease, but to com mon state of the skin associated with various specific diseases and still more frequent complaint of individuals who have no definite disease just some slight nutritional deficiency or departure from opti- mai health. Thus xerosis is the salient feature of ichthyosis (fish skin disease. alligator hide) and of psoriasis. It occurs in most cases of chronic eczema. It is Q normal evolutionary change in the skin of the aged. A young skin is soft, warm, moist or slightly greasy, smooth, clear: and old skin is harsh, cold, dry, perhaps inclined to crack or scale, rough, dull, sallow or gray. A bit of skin oil or precaution to prevent excessive dryness of the skin makes a lot of difference.
 Diagnosis and treatment of vari- ous skin diseases is best left to the patients own physician. Not that c physician has Q specific remedy or treatment for each skin disease, but just that failure to apply rational treatment or ill-advised application of the wrong remedy may greatly aggravate or prolong the trouble.
 Recipes or formulas here Sug. gested are useful for the purpose of alleviating xerosis or xeroderma and may be indiscrifninately eria. ployed for this purpose. They are not adequate treatment or remedies for skin diseases, however.
 A popular skin oil throut the world is cold cream, officially called unguentum Aquae Rosat Continent of rose water) or in France Cerat cosfetique or Crme froide. This Is most satisfactory when freshly made up in reasonable quantity by the pharmacist after the standard formula in the Pharrnacopoeia (U. 6. or Dritlsh). Here is approxi- mateiy the Pharmacopoeia recipe for those who wish to prepare their own cold cream:
 Pare into fine shavings one ounce of spermaceti and one ounce or white wax (beeswax bleach0d white) and melt them together with moderate heat. Then add 5 ounces of expressed oil of almond. Now dis- solve 20 grains of sodium borate (borax) In 1 1-2 ounces of stronger rose water and add this to the other mixture. Then stir rapidly and con- tinuously, or beat with egg beater or with heavy spoon until the rnixs turo becomes unifoWAnly soft and creamy.
 Cole cream thus freshly made, not when long stored or made of petroleum products. serves every purpose Q cream, cerate or oil can serve in the cleansing, protection or beautifying of the skin. It rec iieves chappine, irritation, itching, sunburn. It helps to keep the skin young.

One who makes 6 .diligent effort toward of fine lines around the eyes and to keep her throat firm and un- lined need not worry at all about looking old or having unattractive akin at forty. With the array of excellent preparations available at prices all can afford, not to mem ton. the free information about beatsty routines that anyone can get for the asking, there's really pre- cicus little excuse for the girl who doesn't preserve her youthful ap. pearance.
 Gentle, correct massage and a aood night cream are the answer fo eye wrinkle problems. When you you have cleansed face and throat at night, smooth on layer of one of the rich, so-called nourishing creams. Then, using both hands, lnnSsage upward on throat from collar bones to chin. Pinch along lnwbone from center of chin to sars. Pinch along the lines from 1sose to corners of the mouth. smooth away lines on forehead and those vertical ones between hfows.
 NOW 20 to work on your eyes, ne sure there is a film of cream of the lids, then press third tin- Nors on the corners of upper lids nearest your nose and, using nlockwise motions, rub fingers around and around the eyes Pressing firmly, pass over the tiny area where crows fleet form. Be Nontle of course, but keep on un- M some of the cream has been hhsorbed and the fine lines are a M0Od deal less obvious.
 Remove cream. If you have vary dry skin, apply another thin illn on throat and around eyes nnd leave on all night.
 Naturally, excessive dryness IS prevaient cause of lines and wrinkles. If you keep your skin Wall fabricated, always using cream after soap and water . oI6anslng and doing thorough i6Assage with-cream at night, you Wlll have less difAculty, especially during the cold months.
