Glor1tyimg Yourself
By ALICIA HART

sun glasses when necessary, re- membering that they are as neces- sary for winter sports when the sun is bright as they are for the beach.
 Remember, too, that while a face which never shows any en1o- tion is a sad sight indeed. one which never is in repose Is an even sadder sight. A constant grin is almost as boring as a continu- ous scowl. And either will even- tually cause lines which cannot be eradicated.
 Smile when you. are amused or when there is an occasion for smiling. Scowl, if you must, when the situations are reversed. But don't do either willy-nilly, for no good reason.

 e. have four small children and one of them has developed tenn per tantrums that we are unable to understand or correct. Can you suggest anything?
 A. The child who has temper tantrums probably is trying to get attention. Perhaps he is not getting attention for doing desirable things, or perhaps your attention is not evenly divided among the children and he is jealous. The management of such child may be difficult, and always requires patience and self control on the part of the parents. He must be dealt with firmly and should get no attention when he has a tantrum. Scolding is of little of no value, and 1t seldom helps to slap or spank the child. It is best to leave him by himself until he is quiet, then, without comment, let him come back to the family group. Be sure that he does not get what he wants by having a tantrum. Do not let him know that you are in any way upset about it. When it is all over, do not demand apologies. It is important that you keep your voice gentle and appear indifferent to the outburst of temper. Children quickly feel the tension of adults and respond by initiating them.
 e. How may I refinish the worn or frayed edges of a rug?
 A. Buttonhole the edges with heavy yarn, or place a heavy cord along the edge and bind it to the rug with yarn.
 e. What is "homogenization" of milk?
 A. It means reducing the solids in the milk to tiny uniform particles. A pump forces the milk under tre- mendous pressure through openings only 1/10,OOO of an inch in diameter

Experimental tuberculosis

stroy 1t.
A number Of substances have
been used with varying degrees
of success in an attempt to cure
tuberculosis by disinfection. These
substances include cresote and its
derivatives, chaulmoogra oil, and
metals including arsenic, copper,
gold and mercury. Some of these
drugs have seemed to help some
cases but the experiments could
not be duplicated often enough to
rely upon as a cure for tubercu-
loSis.
About this DR.. Long says, "a
specific chemotherapy Of tubercu-
losis has not been found and it
may be a long time in coming but
it is not closed chapter. We have
some definite facts to go upon and
some glimpses of light have been
Seen."
PREVENTS GROWTH
The recent findings in the test
tube report that sulfanilamide
in dilution of 1880 prevented
growth in the human strain of
tuberculosis germs from taking
place. In $4,000 dilution which Is
now the maximum safe dilution In
practical use in the giving Of the
drug to people, tuberculosis germs
have been prevented only partially
from growth.
It would seem justified that the
following summary was reached by
the park Davis research workers.
Sufanilamide in the test tube in
dilutions above 1:1O00 will not
completely prevent growth of the
tuberculosis germs. The drug has
no curative action upon expert
mental tuberculosis but rather pre-
vented its contraction by expert
mental animals when used in too
powerful doses to be taken by hui
mans.
So for the present it seems
that we must confine our activi-
ties to well-used methods of treat
ed tuberculosis with bed rest,
pneumothorax, phrenic nerve oper-
ations and other means Of COM
preston. Cases should be isolated
and placed in hospital beds as
soon as possible when the sputum
is positive or contains the germs.

ST. Paul asked the same question of the Corin-

I of Dephas; and of Christ. Is Christ divided? Was
Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized IN the

The Bible should be in all public schools. AS
Superintendent Sutton has said this Book contains

much controversy, was who shall TEACH the
Bible? The simplest solution to this question was
answered by Bishop K. H. Burruss of the National
Convention of the Churches of GOd-HOllneSS during
the time the issue was first raised He said that the
Bible didn't need any teaching, but obeying. That
the children should be allowed to READ the book
without anyone teaching" That its teachings were
very plain and that the Bible taught itself.
