SALT WATER EYE WASH

SALT WATER EYE WASH
 A standard solution for eye drops or eye wash is made by dissolving a heaping teaspoonful of boric acid (formerly called boracic acid) in boiled water, preferably rain or snow water or distilled water, 8 pint. Boric acid Is cheap. It comes in granular or crystalline form or in the form of fine white powder.
 Boric acid is antiseptic. That is to say, 1t tends to retard or stop the multiplication of germs. It is not germicidal-that is, 1t does not de- stroy all germs. It is comparatively non Irritating to the body tissues and non-poisonous except in very large quantity.
 Boric acid has no specific "healing" or remedial effect, so far as know.
 When such a solution of boric acid is used as drops or as eye wash, the patient with inflammation of the eyes may feel that it soothes the discomfort. When used either as drops in the eye or as an eye wash it should always be warmed to nearly the body temperature.
 If you drop plain water in the eye 1t smarts and irritates. But if you dissolve a rounded teaspoonful of common table salt in the pint of water, boiled water, and use such a solution, at about body tempera- ture, as drops or eye wash, 1t is non- irritating. That is approximately the salt strength of the tears.
 These same strengths of boric acid solution or salt solution, made with boiled water, preferably rain or snow water or distilled water, are better for bathing wounds or burns or raw surfaces, for the same reason the yare less irritating than plain water because they have nearly the same salt strength as the blood serum itself.
 For my own wounds or sore eyes or whatever I'd as soon have some home made boric acid solution oi some plain salt solution as any fancy "antiseptic" solution you can name
 For mouth wash or gargle I'd al soon use plain boric acid solution a. any other.
 Some medical men of wide expe. rience believe that boric acid il especially potent in retarding or pre- venting the growth and multiplica' ton of the ubiquitous penumo' coccus, the germ responsible fol pneumonia, many cases of sontilituI and quincy and many cases of acut' coryza.
 Altogether boric acid solution ant salt solution-always prepared fresh from boiled water, in the quantit! you will use within day or two are excellent remedies for man. common ailments and deserve tn, respect and confidence of intelligen people.

ployer make money by hiring them?
 And in great many kinds of work, emergencies arise frequently that make 1t necessary for an em- ploye to do things outside his line of work.
 And yet men and women go on for years holding such jobs, and not feeling themselves put upon.
 No, the servant problem is largely a problem of woman working for woman-and 1t comes up anywhere that one woman has to take orders from another.
 A woman hates to be in an in- ferior position to another woman. She doesn't mind having a man tell her what to do. Men have been bossing for generations. And there is something in the element of sex that makes 1t not unpleasant for woman to take orders from a man. WOMEN DON'T LIKE

of another woman as their boss.
 Think for a minute how the serv- ant reasons. All day long she does what another woman tells her to do. She does the dirty work"-- cleaning, scrubbing, and cooking meals.
 Then when the man of the house (always the really important person fin a servants mind) comics home, another woman gets all the credit for running the house well.
 Servants aren't going to be happy and satisfied as long as women con- tinue to be the bosses in their homes.

- RAISING A FAMILY Children Have Own Ethics Which Adults Must Respect

answer, whether 1t meets with Queensberry rules or not.
 Better, however, for him to go to headquarters about 1t, If cir cumstances are such that he feels he should let 1t be known, than to whisper the news about quietly and never give the other boy chance to defend himself or explain. This sort of social blackmail is pretty bad. Circumstantial evidence is not always proof. Slim may only have appeared to copy.'
 Perhaps Slim is guilty. He comes to John and says, "If the teacher asks you whether I copied, tell her didn't, will you? Tn this case John need not commit himself to pro- mise. We can warn our children that when others get into scrapes, 1t Is not their affair to be dragged in and held accountable for what may prove to be bad business.
 PERSONAL RELATIONS
 ENTER INTO IT
 If the teacher asks Johnny wheth- CT or not he saw Slim copy, he is on the spot to be sure. But there is no use in his being snug about 1t and saying nobly, T know but I cannot tell" He must either tell or say nothing. We think he should tell if 1t is put to him directly. but John might say that such advice is all wet, and he won't double-cross anybody.
 We don't know just why Slim took a peep, why he was tempted, how swell fellow he is or how close a friend.
 John knows so many things about Slim. you see. that you and I don't know. We can't fix 1t up to suit ourselves and say, "So endeth the first lesson"
 And by the way, teacher rarely asks one child to tell on another. If sife does so, 1t Is usually because a serious situation demands 1t, and the information is vital.
