Keeping Promise to Child Essential

Keeping promise to child is
a serious obligation. Adults are
prone to be careless about a PROM
Use they have made in casual con-
versation without realizing that it
is almost matter Of life or death
to the small person who is counting
on 1t. Again, they are likely to plan
| a days outing to start at
o'clock. At II there are still delays
while the youngsters are palpitating
with anxiety to be off.
BY the time we have grown up
we have learned to take dlsappoint-
ments and delays with some equa-
nimity Though child's disappoint-
ment with its tears and rage may
appear to be of short duration the
scars it leaves are. deep. There may
be plenty Of reason to keep a
youngster waiting an hour or more.
But if he is ever to learn to take
delays with patience his intelligence
Should not be abused when he is
too young to understand.
Parents should be as careful about
making promise to their children
as they are to their banker. If
there is considerable doubt about
being able to follow through. re-
frain from mentioning a gift or a
spree so that their hopes will not
be raised. and dashed with conse-
quent loss of confidence in your
word. If there is merely a shadow
of doubt, and you are aware of
their anticipation, explain to them
that plans may fall through at the
last minute; that they should not
count too heavily on them, and if
they cannot be managed this time
they will be later. And make it a
point to keep your promise!
You may remember when you
were "six or so" sitting beside a
picnic basket, with your bathing

BY DIR. Logan CIendening

TgIIS article is written by re-
quest, but as matter OF
fact II II probably very timely
because in war work, with
women and others who are I'M
accustomed TO standing for long
periods, there is undoubtedly a
higher incidence OF varicose
veins than in normal times.
Varicose veins may theoreti-
cally occur anywhere, but over
80 per cent occur in the veins
of the legs.
The veins normally have little
valves on the inside.
These valves are thin men,
branes occurring in three cusps
attached TO the wall of the vein.
They allow flow of blood for
ward, but not backward.
IT CAN be seen that they are
l. very necessary TO circula-
ton because the Wis a tergo
force behind. from the heart
which propels blood from the
arteries to all the boundaries
OF the body, runs out by the
time the blood reaches the veins
and the blood is returned TO
the heart simply by the ac-
emulation of the blood from be-
low.
This pushes the column OF
blood In the veins OF the leg
slightly upward and every time
the column of blood passes a
valve, il stays there by the &C
ton of the valve and waits TO
be pushed forward by the next
mass.
vIARICOSITIES in the veins
' are due to the breakdown OF
these valves.
The blood then accumulates In
the veins, which become en-
gorged and stand out In tortu-
osities.
Naturally. occupations or ac-
tivities which require long peri
DDS of standing on the feet tend
to put a strain on the valves 80
that in these occupations vari-
cose veins are a definite hazard.
Naturally also. time is an ele-
ment and varicose veins do not
occur in children or young
adults. but only in those who
have lived long enough to create
strain on the valves.
II sluggishness OF the circula-
ton and stasis Of the circulation
in the veins were the only con-
sequences OF varicose veins. they
would not constitute a very serl-
Gus or troublesome condition.

a fairly even break.
DERHAPS the shock to our
l. people Of our brief reversal
was increased by the attention
that was drawn to the North
African expedition in the first
place, especially by the visit Of
President Roosevelt.
It promised too much.
However, now that the people
know the difficulty Of the situa-
ton better, I believe that their
will that the expedition succeed
is all the stronger, even In the
face of the threat of a huge
casualty roll.
When our troops first moved
against the Germans In World
War I, they were amateurs
fighting great professionals.
When the war ended, we had
the greatest army on the face
of the earth.
In North Africa we again had
amateurs against pros. but mark

those same amateurs will be
