THE POoD CoDDLED KID

Misguided though perhaps typi-
cal mother, describing the unsatis.
factory state of health Of her six
year-old daughter, who seems to
have frequent cough, bronchial
trouble, tonsillitis several times each
year. concludes with this remark:
"She never has got to go out in
the rain in a bathing suit like
other children, never waded in
the water, never gone without
Stacks when it is cold; in fact she
has never been free like most
children
This badly educated mothers
note carries us back in memory to
our own childhood and the joys Of
going out in the rain in a bathing
suit or considerably less, padding
or Wading In the water.
How to answer a question like this
so as to give other kids in similar
plight a better break. To me it
seems downright silly and unreason-
abb for any parent or guardian to
coddle a child in the way this ig-
norant mother describes, but must
remember that there are millions
of mothers, yes, and fathers too, who
are just as ignorant, for they are
all educated IN the regular Ameri-
can way, and that, dear children,
is a wicked, shameless farce so far
as elementary physiology, anatomy,
sanitation, pathology and hygiene
are concerned. The common school
course in what is called Health
Building" or your Body" is a dry
cleaned version OF an almanac of
1900 with the more obvious jokes
left out.
Here and there perhaps my teach
ing or advice is accepted and even
followed in the home. For the sake
of the kids, both healthy and deli
cate" I hope this teaching and
advice will be accepted and followed
in many homes where it may be
needed. say that every kid should
have the right and the pleasure of
going out in the rain in a bathing
suit or a G-string whenever he or
she wants to. say 1t is ALWAYS
health for ANY child to wade in the
water, or to go in swimming when
ever he or she can enjoy it (pro-
vided the water is safe, not pollut-
ed. I say it is NEVER too cold or
too damp for any one, child or
adult, healthy OF invalid, with

this goes especially for the kids.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
What CauSceS Diabetes?


Is the use of cane sugar not the
chief cause of diabetes? Would not
the substitution of honey for cane
sugar in the everyday diet prevent
diabetes? 90. M. s.
Answer-Main causes of diabetes,
in my judgment, are Cd heredity,
ca overeating, CD habitual def
cheney in intake of vitamin B.
complex, and (4 insufficient daily
exercise. I believe it makes no diff
ference whether beet sugar, cane
sugar, syrup, 'lasses, sorghum, honey
or some other kind of sugar is used.

AXIS VIEWPOINT

(Hitler and Mussolini, denouncing
aerial warfare, call Americans
bombing gangsters.)
A bomber is a wondrous thing
As bombs it freely showers
Provided that it is, of course,
A bomber that is OURS!
A bombing blitz is splendid war
Its purpose we defend
With other people and not us
On the receiving end.
Congress is large body of irresoIution
entirely surrounded by chaos.
From the definitions of pleasure
driving the OPA is a poor Judge of
fun.
REACTION TO
A MOSCOW MOVE
The Stain is red,
The Browder is blue;

And this is one business that will
