ing school, the mother should ac- company him to the classroom. DOS" AND "DONT'S"
 FOR PARENTS
 It sometimes happens that a child who liked the first year or two of school develops a real dislike for it in his third or fourth year.
 When this happens, parents should first check up on whether anything has happened at home to shake the child's confidence in himself, so that he feels his ac- complishmentS are not as good as those of others his age.
 If they can find no solution in the youngsters home life, they should then consult with the teacher. It is quite probable that some trivial incident in the class room or on the playground has made the youngster feel inferior to his classmates. With the teach CTS cooperation this situation can generally be quickly corrected.
 If a youngster of twelve or thirteen suddenly acquires ha- tired of school, the whole prob- lem can frequently be traced to the emotional confusion and un- certainty that are a normal ac- compartment to the physical changes of adolescence. A child at this time needs patience and un- derstanding from his parents until he can work out satisfactory new adjustment to school life.

parents-the security of knowing that they are thoroughly satisfied with him, and the confidence that his achievements are good enough to win place for him in the family group.
 When these two fundamental needs are completely satisfied, the child will be free to develop the in- itiative, self-reliance, and sense of responsibility that are evidences of normal emotional growth.
 To such youngster, school is not an abrupt transition to a strange and frightening new world, but a continuation and extension of the experiences he has been enjoying. LOOK FOR SHAKEN
 CONFIDENCE
 There are a number of "Do's" and 'Donts" for parenst who would have their child make a happy ad- justment to school. For parents who have failed to lay the foundation for ciQOIlOIldl SIOWLu LII pTe-SCIlOOl years, the first Do" is to supply the security and confidence that has been lacking.
 They can do this by praising the child's accomplishments, as- surfing him of their affection and faith in his ability, and insulting all possible self confidence in him. The teacher should be called upon to help them in this. Until she has succeeded in winning a dependent youngster over to nk-

so YOU CAN'T GET IODINE
 THAT WAY?

In the basketful of printed, null tigraphed or steretyped commercial propaganda-an astonishing quant- ity of. such material comes in every day-there was one piece quoting a chemist and nutrition authority as of the opinion that the average in- dividual, with his extensive use of refined white flour, cooked meats and small portions of fruits and vegetables, will have B intake under his need. In other words he has nutritional deficiency.
 In the same batch there was an- other piece quoting a chemist and nutrition authority as of the opin-
 ion that a pork chop supplies all
 the vitamin B an ordinary person needs for a day.
 The bread and meat people really should get together on this. It is highly commendable of the bread people to concede that white bread is nutritively deficient and needs supplementing with vitamin B1 and other factors which have been re- moved Or destroyed in the process of refining wheat, but why should they take the joy out of sandwiches by implying that cooked meats are deficient in B1 (thiamin)? This clash of propaganda reminds one of the sordid battle between the tobacco and sugar people few years ago-a battle to preserve the right of the citizen to use either or both without let or hindrance.
 Now come the fishwives, incorp- orated, with broadcast telling the world man can't get along without iodine but warning that your sys- tenn can't assimilate iodine in the form you get at the drugstore, so you had better use plenty of sea food-flsh and shellfish from the ocean, as that is the best way to get your iodine, Of which you need only millionth of an ounce a day, and a pound Of sea Ash contains from four to ten times the amount Of iodine you need daily.
 All of that, except the gratuitious assertion concerning medicinal jo- dine, is reasonably sound and true. Fish and shellnsh, sea water and sea weed are the best sources Of Iodine, not only fresh sea food but also some smoked, dried or canned sea food such as salmon, lobster, sardInes, smoked herring, flnnan haddle. eodhsh cakes or shredded, canned oysters, fresh or canned oysters, fresh or canned crab meat, etc. But In hawking their wares the fishwlvea, incorporated, need not shout blillngneAfe At the druggists for supplying tincture Of Iodine or potassium IodIdo Of sodium i0dlde 70 thelP customers Or the Rfoeefs for supplying lodiEed salt Co theirs, f0f there Is not the shadow 0f Q doubt but lhat ordinary tlnesure of

Adolescent children "eat lik horses" They seem to have bottom less stomachs. These growing ap- petites. enormous as they seem, are healthy sign but they do force mothers on a low or moderate food budget to plan carefully, spend wisely and study economy recipes that produce attractive and satis- flying dishes.
 The teen age" is the time when young bones are growing fast and bodies fill out. Fuel and building materials are needed in great quantities. Milk is all important in this building process. It is rich in calcium and phosphorus, essential elements for bone build ing.
 Fresh whole milk is one of the richest forms of milk because it contains cream also, with its but ter fat and vitamin A. However skim milk contains all the other essentials even though the butter lat and vitamin A is not present in any appreciable proportion. If skim milk is used for economy increase the amounts of green and yellow vegetables in the diet for vitamin A and add fish liver oil once 8 day to the diet. Dry skim milk, used successfully in relief and low income diets, is very in- expensive and can be used appe- tizingly in cooking by any care- ful follower of recipes.
 Five ounces of American ched- dar cheese (often called "store" or "plain American" cheese) con- tains approximately the same amount of food value as a quart of milk. Buy it cut from the great wheel of cheese rather than in processed form if your budget is small.

Nothing is more charming oA more homelike that a hooked rug. And the oval one in our picture is so gay with its wreath of flowers, its bright blue center.
 You make it easily from cast-off clothing, leftover materials cut in strips 1-3 to 1-2 inch wide.
 The hooking is simple, as our dia- gram shows. With one hand you hold a strip under the burlap foun- dation for your rug and with the other hand insert hook through burlap to pull up strip, making a loop on surface about 1-4 inch high.
 To prepare burlap for hooking just cut a paper oval the exact size of rug-27 by 38 inches-and. lay ing it on the burlap, pencil around it. Then cut a smaller paper oval (11 by 9 inches) center it within your larger oval outline and pencil around it also. Draw flowers be- tween the two outlines and ink in all lines.
 Next step is to stitch carpet bind ing around larger oval, tack edges of burlap to a simple wood frame you can make at home-then hook. see your flowers "blooml"
 Our new 32-page booklet gives detailed direction for hooked rugs, tells how to make your own designs. Also shows how to make woven, braided, crocheted rugs, other de- lightful styles.

BY DIR. BERT I. BERVERLY Written for NEA Service

Chicago-Will small Johnny, who is starting to school for the first time today, like 1t?
 That's the question which is uppermost in the minds of thou sands of parents just now. The answer is ives" if Johnny is 8 normal little boy whose emo- tional growth has kept pace with his physical development. The answer is mo" if he has not learned some self-reliance and responsibil- ity.
 Parents have real cause for alarm if their youngster hates school and refuses to go. Such be- havior is as indicative of emo- tional unbalance as tempera- ture is of some physical disabil- ity. A school-age child who has achieved the normal amount of emotional growth will like school because he has these three typ ical characteristics:
 CD he wants to learn.
 (2) he enjoys doing things with other children.
 (3) he accepts friendly teacher and likes her help as 8 substitute for his mother. "WON'T GO TO SCHOOL" IS A DANGER SIGNAL

The paste should be spread on small pieces of plexible cardboard or paper which can be rolled into cyclinders with the paste on the inside. The powder or paste should be put in places where silverflsh are found, as shelves. behind books, back of man. tels, under washboards, and on the bottoms of drawers and in storage boxes.
