mistake, he might have had the
presence of mind to contradict the
eXaggeration.
Some allowance has to be made
for the natural exuberance OF
youth. 1t takes a long time Tor
youngSter to learn to sit still, not
to fly into the house, TO shut the
door quietly, to 60 up the stairs
one step at time. and to always
remember to wipe his muddy shoes
upon coming in from out OF doors.
Parents seem to forget that de-
corous conduct and the social
graces have not as yet become mat
terS of habit in children. Since
these usually are second nature
with themselves. they are inclined
to overlook the occasions when the
child-only through a conscious
effort, neutrality-suspicious..
AS a matter of fact, a common
failing is TO notice and comment
upon only those occasions when
the child is guilty of neglect.
Though he may correct his mis-
take the next time and the next,
it is quite likely that his accept
able conduct will be ignored.
Where a child really is trying to
please the parent. this must be very
discouraging. 1t sometimes seems
as If parents had no time for any
thing but correction and criticism.
But praise and rewards have def
mite places in child training and
education and must be employed.
Children are heartened by and
thrive on recognition and consider
alton. After all they are just little
people who are in the process OF
becoming big people and have SO
much to learn. We mustn't expect
to much from them during the
formative years, Often no more
than a fine line separates desirable
from undesirable conduct and this
line is not always distinguishable
to the child. It will have to be
pointed out repeatedly and We will
have to be patient with him until
he can recognize it.

cheney conditions. Vitamin B-l Is
possibly the most important OF the
vitamins. 1t is necessary TO main
tain normal appetite, normal digeS-
ton, and well-balanced, healthy
condition of the nervous system.
When vitamin B-1, called thia-
min, is low in the diet, the patient
becomes irritable. depressed and
frightened. He is restless, but too
tired and lacking in pep to do
much. This can be promptly re-
lieved by supplying thiamin In the
diet. Improvement will often ap-
pear in a few hours. Thiamin is
also required for the digestion and
absorption of energy giving sugars
and starches.
Cheered Them Up
Vitamin B. Is often referred to
as the Morale Vitamin." because
it overcomes depression and makes
the world seem bright. Federal Sc
curity Administrator Paul McNutt
tells about group OF unreliable.
trouble making workers on the
Tennessee Valley Authority. These
men came from the mountain
country and had never really had a
balanced diet. They were entirely
changed when given an adequate
diet, and soon became among the
best men employed by the iva.
The system does not require a
great amount of vitamin B-l. The
amount called for each day, to
maintain a healthy physical and
mental condition, Is only two or
three milligramS. A milligram is
one thouSandth OF a gram and
there are twenty-eight grams in an
ounce, so you can see that the pre-
scribed amount is very small.
There is no difficulty in securing
this amount with good diet. When
deficiency becomes too great. II
may be advisable to take a greater
quantity in the form Of pill or
elixir thiamine chloride for short
time. but it need not be continued
Six one-ounce slices of hundred
per cent wholewheat bread will
supply about one third Of the
amount of vitamin B. needed for
a day. Enriched bread furnishes a
little less but, because 1t is more
easily digested and is entirely util-
lied by the system, 1t is often more
helpful. It is difficult to obtain hun
dred per cent wholewheat or rye
bread. Because most people do not
like the taste of wholewheat bread,
some white flour is generally used.
It makes for smoother texture, and
1t is more easily digested.
Plenty of B.
Enriched white bread is more
satisfactory to most persons. This
bread is made with milk, which also
includes such body = building ele-
ments as proteinS, calcium and
phosphorus. II we add to this lib
eral amounts of milk, eggs. green
and yellow vegetables. citrus fruits
and tomatoes, dark cereals like oat-
meal, as well as some meat and po-
tatoes, we will receive all the vita
min B-1 as well as the other vita
Minis needed. We shall also get all
the minerals and salts required To
maintain the syste m in good
health.
Our filters will not overwhelm
us and our morale will be all that
Is required in these trying times
This matter Of filters used to be
considered joke, but 1t Is coming
to be serious matter. Any aid in
keeping our nervous equilibrium is
important.

If Sailor Wants

Get Several
By TALBOT LAKE

KS. y l OAtk LIN YIN NJAJNEi,
IVA of Bundles for Britain, has
difficult and interesting job. It's
her duty 10 care for the needs OF
torpedoed British sailors who land
on our shores. The work is COM
plicated by the fact that far from
being plain British, they come from
all of Britain'S DominionS and their
wants are peculiar and difficult TO
fill.
Many are Mohammedans and
there is rub in feeding them. They
cannot eat any animal unless they
see it killed. That means that their
first meal will have TO be eggs fried
in salad oil. After that. If Mrs.
Gagne is lucky, she gets mess or
live chickens and lets the Moham-
medans see them killed. Then the
Mohammedans eat them - with
gusto!
One officer wanted an Alsatian
dog. The request is, at this writing,
untitled, but Mrs. Gagne has prob
ably thought the subject through
long before We mention 1t. Pianos
are in great demand. She is con-
stantly having trucks pick them up
and putting them in storage until
such time as the calls come for
them. She has fitted out soccer
teams and is now fitting out q
cricket team.
Director Of Distribution Is her
title. She scrambles up the ladder
of freighter, generally very dirty,
when it pulls into port and finds
out what is wanted. Among those
she deals with are Lascars. Mo-
hammedans and Goanese tPortu-
guese Catholics Of India) all OF
whom are British seamen.
Mrs. Gagne never asks the men
why they want what they want. All
her interest is in seeing that they
get 1t. Skis. skates and electric
irons have been demanded by SAIL
ors and obtained. We still wonder
why the skis, but there you are.
She has even promoted cricket
matches between British sailors
and West Indians in New York
City. The West Indians take it easy
because they know the men are
weary and don't want TO make them
feel bad.
