ALUMINIUM UTENSILS
SAFE FOR COOKING.

Bobbing up wherever housewives
gather to talk shop" is the question,
"Is it harmful to use aluminium utensils
for food?" No-that's the answer,
whether you ask medical authorities.
chemists, or anyone elso who has in
veStigated. All agree that no possible
harm can come from cooking in
aluminium.
You can cook all your food in alum
mum pots and kettles and expect to
live to be as old as Methuselah, as far
as aluminium is concerned. It's true
that foods cooked in aluminium may
contain very slight traces of aluminium
salts. But these salts are harmless I'M
less taken in large amounts. No pos
sible harm can come from the tiny
traces you might get from an aluminium
kettle.
Cookery experts recommend alum
mum cooking utensils because they are
perfectly safe and are also good con-
ductors of heat; because they are light
and easy to handle; because they are
easy to keep clean; and because they
are relatively inexpensive. Any rumor
as to danger to health is quite ground
less-Mary May Miller, home manage

GOODNESS AT A PRICE

ooh, they're nice little children" re-
marked a young mother who had
recently moved to a new neighborhood,
where she found two young children
next door who were very nearly the
same age as her own youngsters
They'll be as good playmates as you
could ask for, for Janey and Johnnie.
But there's a switch hanging in the
kitchen of their home, and it makes
me sick to think of how often it's
used. They're good children, all right,
but they are made that way entirely
through fear. Their parents haven't
the ghost of an idea that that isn't
the only way to make children mind"
It would be mighty interesting to
know just how common this idea and
practise is-the way still unthinhngly
chosen by some parents who are so
intent on having obedient children that
they do not count the cost of making
them obedient through fear. When the
threat of a stick hangs over you, you
either mind, or, if you choose to do
the wrong thing, you are as careful as
possible to cover up your wrong doing,
SO that you won't have to pay the pain
full penalty.
Are the immediate results of this
type of discipline worth the longtime
effects on the child? Not that switch
ings are likely to do child's body
much harm, providing they aren't fire.
quent or brutal. His physical frame
will recover from the effect of few
blows without being much the worse for
What blows are likely to damage is his
character. For child who is ruled by
fear, who always has hanging over his
head the thought that if he is found
out he will have to suffer pain, Is
greatly tempted to cover up his mis-
deeds, and become increasingly deceit
full and sly. Because he resents the
ability of his parent to dominate him
only because by reason of greater
physical strength, he may begin to take
delight in outwitting that parent. The
corrosion that goes on when a child
does undetermined things, when he lies,
or hides the results of his mistakes,
eats away at the foundations of his
character in a disastrous way.
There are so many kinds of punish
ment that work better! Depriving a
child of some pleasure, isolating him to
let him think it over, letting him de-
eide, sometimes, what he thinks would
be a suitable way of paying for his
misdeeds-these are all intelligent ways

Tobacco Can in Shirt
Pocket Stops Bullet,

Fergus Falls-Harold, 16-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Herman F. Schmidt.
owes his life to the fact that he had
a tin tobacco container in his shirt
pocket. Last week an automobile
stopped on the road about 20 rods
from the spot Harold was blowing and
several young men alighted, apparently
to shoot blackbirds. One of their first
shots zoomed through the air hitting
Harold's pocket. While Mr.. Schmidt
disapproves of his son smoking at such
an early age, he realizes it was only the
tobacco tin that saved the bullet from
piercing Harold's heart.

A Pain With Other Fancy Names May Still Come
From Constipation

Many painful symptoms that be-
set humanity overlap in signifi-
canoe. In other words, the pres
ence Of several ailing causes. 1t is
the combination of several symp-
toms appearing at about the same
time that enables diagnosis to
properly credit the source of all
ments and distress. A headache
could indicate eye trouble, hunger,
brain trouble or constipation. A
pain I'm the back could indicate
sprained back, kidney trouble or
constipation. Bad breath could in
dictate infected teeth, halitosis or
constipation, and so on and on. The
point is that constipation has such
an overlapping significance in
symptoms form that it is wise to
adjust this ailment first, before ap-
plying your symptoms to any spe-
cific disease or ailment. And now
another well known young lady,
Miss Gladys Anderson, of Clark
field, Mimi, sings the praise of
HERBTEX.
"HERBTEX is grand medicine

friends who are troubled as I was
to start It at once. I had been
badly constipated for quite some
time and the dreadful and painful
results had me pretty badly run

bition and had to force myself to
go to work, and homework seemed
like a burden to me. Awful head
aches would come. and because Of

of handling the disobedience and I'M
ruliness that are bound to arise. The
parent who uses force is taking the
easiest way out, for the moment, rather
than trying to find ways of disciplining
his children that will increase their re-
spect for him, and his good judg-
ment. Devising really constructive
methods of punishment is a challenge
to intelligence.

OYSTER ATTACHES SELF
TO BODY OF CRAE

One of the oddities of nature that
POUNDS it way to the "Times" office,
Crisfield, Md, is six inch hard crab
with a two inch oyster growing on
the under side of the shell.
The crab was caught by Mr.. Eddie
Lewis while he was grabbing in Cedar
Straights in Pocomoke Sound, Thurs
day of last week.
Mr.. Crab was in an excellent state
of health, and did not seem to be es-
pecially handicapped by the oyster
which had attached itself firmly to
his shell and apparently was growing
healthier and enjoying the free ride
it was getting wherever the crab

self, had worn the shell of the oyster
smooth, and polished it until it was
shining like a pearl.
Old timers report instances Of sim
liar catches, but this is the first ex-
ample of such close attachment be-
tween hard shell crabs and oyster that
we have seen, and goes to show that
oyster spat are persistent cusses in
their effort to attach themselves to
something which will permit them to
live and grow.

Are there tagging summer appe-
tites in your family? If so, here is
a tried and tested means of overcom-
ing the situation. Lay your supper
out doors on the terrace, lawn or
porch and watch the plates come back
for second helpings. There is some
thing about the cool soft breezes that
enhance the attractiveness of the most
common food dishes. If this is an
idea you have been reading about ever
since the summer season arrived, let
this be the last time you read without
action. Before you know it the time
will be gone and you and your family
will have passed up this grand oppor-
tunity.
Among the following suggestions
for the variation of the potato salad
you may find summers supply OF
good main dishes for hot weather
meals. Any one of the following in
gradients will make tasty addition
to your favorite potato salad:
Red kidney beans; frankfurters
cooked, skinned and sliced; diced pine
apple; green peas; shredded carrots;
CHOPPED sweet pickles; tuna fish; sal
mon; shrimp; flaked corned beef; OF
cold boiled ham, diced. Add in the
proportion of one cup to each eight
servings of potato salad.

MY WINDOW GARDEN


I once walked nimbly in the fields and
lanes,
Where grew the first wild flowers of
early spring;
I've stood knee deep in fragrant clover
bloom,
And gloried in the orchards blossom
ing;
And have titled my own small flow
er plot,
For was ever fond of gardening.
Now, all is changed! with useless,
crippled feet
Which nevermore the feel of grass
will know;
With pain racked, feeble hands that
ne'er again
Can weed, or water plants, or WELD a
hoe,
I sit before my window, day by day,
And watch, with joy, my tiny garden
grow.
I'm sure you'd think my garden isn't
much;
No doubt it's insignificance deride;
But when ones outlook is a window
frame,
One learns to view small things with
greater pride.
Within my window is potted fern
Petunias flourish in box, outside!
