Elementary Healing Methods

IN THESE days of doctor
shortage people are learning some
very salutary lessons about sick
ness. One is that nature is good
doctor and most conditions even if
they look acute and alarming get
well of themselves, or with very
simple methods Of treatment.
An Important Lesson
Another and most important
lesson which some but not all of
the stay-at-homes, but that nearly
all the members of the armed
forces are learning is that natures
best methods of healing are rest,
air, water, heat, light and some
variation of food. In other words,
not drugs.
Of course, many drugs, herbs
and minerals, are natural and
could be classified as natures
remedies. We have all heard about
the sick animal that knows by in
stinct what herb of the field to use
and cures himself in that way, but
most Of that is gossip.
Sick Dogs
The only sick dogs who did
themselves any good by eating
grass were those who ate every
thing in sight until their stomachs
haf something to work on and
then emptied and then the dog quit
eating the grass and began to get
well. You can do that with water
or anything that furnishes bulk.
Most modern drugs in the doc
tors kit are synthetic products
that DO not occur in nature at all
and have such definite possibilities
Of toxicity and allergy that they
have to be very carefully handled.
The household doctor who
swears by some drug usually as
cribes too many benefits to it. Ii
she stuck to bicarbonate of soda it
wouldn't be SO bad, but when it
comes to salts, they can be very
harmful. Happy is the member Of
the household out in the country
at night who gets acute indiges-
ton and there are no salts in the
house. He will probably get we'll.
There is no form of acute indiges-
tion that is not made worse by
cathartic.

you'll like one that has an apricot

may disagree about whether they
like blondes or brunettes, pint-sized

agree that they prefer girls with

you have your nails done and then
add days to the life of the mani

Beauty Ranblings

SOMETHING BLUE - We've
found that men love any color-So
long as it's blue. And the same rule
holds for perfume; not blue liquid,
mind you--but one that captures
all the romance, sweetness and fem
ininity of the color from which 1t
takes its name. For the budget
bound, it's good news that this
forget-me-not fragrance can also
be had in sachet. Dust 1t over your

it will cling to your lingerie and
surround you with a pleasant aura.
Put it in little satin envelopes and
pin them to hangers to glamour

remember that Whit of this in a

life will go a long way towards
keeping fresh his memory of you.
(P. S.-Wont work on V-mail)
GOES TO YOUR HEAD-Newest
trick in the glamour contingent Is
to use beer as hair-rinse to make
your mop manageable, to give it
body. It's also good for setting your
hair on occasions when you want
to look your best and want your
hair to "hold." However, regular use
of the stuff doesn't do your hair any
more good than it would your In
nards, except that the result is
slightly different. In the case of
your hair, it tends to deluster your
locks, so use it sparingly.

The Young Idea
By Betty Miles

A little boy gasped when the lu-
minous central apse windows Of the
Washington Cathedral were un-
yelled. He was an average little boy,
not an esthete, probably not harbor-
ing the seed of greatness. One
does not need to be an esthete to
feel the beauty of these windows.
They speak universal idiom.
We saw for ourselves another
little boy, sitting in the Great Choir
waiting for the evensong services to
begin. His brother was in the choir.
He hoped some day to take his place
there himself. Talking with him, we
felt that he, too, was an average,
typical boy. And the Cathedral had
caught his Imagination.
This Gothic edifice, the fruit Of
George Washington's dream, and
still incomplete, standing on Mount
st. Alban, has the beauty of fairy
land, and the serenity Of the ages.
Your child may be too small to un-
derstand the significance that Is at
tached to each bit of carving. every
boss, every reredos in the Cathe-
dral. But its beauty and majesty are
unacceptable. And the opportunities
for acquainting him with Biblical
stories and legends OF the Church
are boundless-for the Cathedral
is massive book, telling the story
of Christianity in glass and stone,
color and shadow, figures and vault
ing.
What, specifically, will interest
him at the Cathedral? Top on the
list, is the Children's Chapel, built
in memory Of a child. AS we stood
there, We felt like a gross intruder
in another world For everything in
this chapel is scaled to the child
the small altar, the miniature or
gan, the tiny seats. the beautifully
done vaulted ceiling, low indeed in
contrast to other portions of the
building. Characters known fol
their love of children, both in the
Scriptures, and in Christian history
are portrayed in the Chapel carv-
ings, the reredos, the stained glass
windows. Before the beautiful
gateway that leads to the Chapel Il
a statue OF the Christ Child, arms
extended in welcome.
Then there is the Bethlehem
Chapel, one of the three crypt
chapels, the first part of the Ca
thedral to be finished. This chapel
depicts the story of the Nativity in
stained glass and sculpture 1t Is the
final resting place of Woodrow vii.
son and of Admiral George Dewey.
The crypt Chapel of st. Joseph OF
Arimathea, which will some day
bear the Gloria in Excelsis tower
is lit with a rose -colored light that
lends a pink hue to the limestone
and enhances the deep red carpet
ing on the steps leading to it.
The third crypt chapel, the Chapel
of the Resurrection. pure Norman
in design, Is a memorial to the Sec
ond Bishop of Washington, the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1945-02-27

Right Rev. Alfred Harding. Located
here Is the recumbent statute of
Bishop Harding. Lying at his feet,
in equally complete repose, Is q
carved figure Of the bishops dog.
Not yet finished, the walls of the
chapel will ultimately glow With
color, typifying the resurrection.
st. ,Dunstan's Chapel, all but lost
in the grandeur Of the other three
crypt chapels, contains small but
luminous and lovely stained glass
window depicting st. Dunstan, done
by 16-year -old boy. his first at
tempt at such work, and presented
by him to the Cathedral.
The Chapel Of st. Mary CLOVIS
with color and houses the windows
depicting the parallels. The chapel
of st. John, which TANKS the Great
Choir on the opposite side, Is prac-
tically in its entirety q muted white,
save for Its windows depicting the
miracles Of Christ.
In the main section Of the Ca
thedral there are the magnificent
carved reredos, behind the Jerusa-
lem altar, the Great Choir, the
Canterbury pulpit, the inlaid marble
floors. The flags Of every State in
the Union hang from the triforium
gallery.
In the Cathedral close, the
Bishops Garden, often Called .
garden Of the ages" contains d
dars Of Lebanon, old English boz
wood, wayside cross and q font
that dates back to the Middle Ages.
In all, 1t seems to have stood for
ever In its beauty. The cottage herb
garden lies adjacent to the Bishops
Garden.
We think 1t Is the beauty Of the
whole that your child and you will
carry away with you. The vivid
ness of the 40 stained glass windows
already installed is unforgetable.
The rose window in the north tran
sept, rich in hues Of celestial blue"
defies description. We visited the
Cathedral on gray, dark day, but
inside the Cathedral the windows
| glowed as If illumined by the sun at
high noon.
The meaning and symbolism Of
the building will, of course, take
substance for you when you tour the
Cathedral with one of the volunteer
aides. The building is open from
! to every day and tours leave every
hour on the half hour, except when
services are being held. Tours are
also conducted after the II O'Clock
service and the o'clock service on
Sunday. 1t might be wise to tour
the Cathedral with a guide first,
then by yourself. The knowledge
you'll gain of the various sections
can then be impaired to your child
by you, making it personal and vital
to him.
Information or material concern
ing the Cathedral may be secured
by writing to the curator's ofice,
Washington Cathedral, Washington
16. D. c., or by calling Woodley $500.
