Idea
BY Laura and Helen

Ole Man Summer has been good
to US long enough, and with the sun
about TO hit its annual high, it's time
TO start concentrating on a nice
smooth sun-tan to complement all
OF your new summer clothes. There
are dos and don'ts" for sun-tans,
Just as there are for everything
else, and sometimes if YOU forget
them, you're mighty uncomforta BILE
tor while. After the discomfort
passes, the burn peels unattractive-
~, so why not do it right at the
start?
We've had fairly cool weather here
for most of the past few months,
SO watch out the first time YOU 20
out TO toast. Last summer is months
away, and your skin won't be able
TO take too much sun at one time
lake 1t easy, time the first session
so that you won't look like lobster
the night after your date with the
sun. Gauge yourself by the heat
If It's really beating down. allow a
little less time, and if it's cooler
you can stay out. Don't let a cool
breeze lull you into a false sense
OF security. The sun can be plenty
hot all the time you're feeling nice
and cool.
The skin doesn't have enough
natural oil to allow tanning with
ouS some kind of sun lotion. Per-
maps you have one you've used and
like, but almost any will do They
furnish oil TO the skin and protect
it from first-degree burn, so it
a good Idea to use one. If there is
anything tricky wrong with your
Eskln, ask your doctor for a prescrip-
ton for lotion, and insure your
self against any other trouble.
For the gal with freckles there $
nothing that can be done to keep
them from popping out like the
measles without taking the skin

There is Scant excuse for the
adults concerned when child dies
Of diphtherla. One of the miracles
that science has given US is the
Schlck test. That test betrays a
secret. Chlld's disposition toward
diphtherla. An injection is easily
performed, If accepted as necessary
by the child. easily taken. If the
result shows the child to be pro-
tected against the disease. he is de-
Clared immune and can go his way.
If the result is positive, then the
child must be protected against the
disease, given another injection In
this manner he will be immunized
and may go his way in good health
The younger children should be
given this test, this chance against
dangerous disease The Older
children who have not been tested
should take the test and be i'm

WhyGrow
Old?
BY Josebhine Lowman

I received several interesting let
tiers from teachers following the
publication of a column which dis
cussed health in the public schools.
One in particular impressed me be-
cause the teacher was so evidently
sincere and progressive in her ideas
and seemed to love her profession
and have the interest of childhood
keenly at heart.
This teacher outlined some of the
difficulties under which teachers
work; the crowded conditions, the
wide range Of subjects to be taught
outside of reading and writing and
arithmetic, as well as extra curri-
cular activities.
One thing she said in her letter
certainly hit the nail on the head:
Many times this year teachers in
our school have sent children to the
school nurse with a fever and the
children have been sent home. Very
few mothers have large families
these days. Would it not be easier
for mothers who should know their
child better than a teacher, who
has from SO to As children in a
room, to detect a rash and keep
the child at home before other
children are exposed?"
OF course she is right Most
mothers can tell simply by looking
at their child whether or not he is
off color and it is her responsibility
TO spot an unnatural condition in
the child Yet 1t is amazing how
many mothers send their children to
school with coughs that practically
blow the hair off the heads of the
other children and colds that put a
spring thaW to shame.
Can it be possible that so many
women are ignorant of the fact that
practically every chilGS disease be-
gins with a headache, nausea. q
sore throat or a cold or that so
many sTe inSensible to their obi
cation to others? Can 1t be that
they send their children TO school
! when they are not well because it is
easier for them or because they are
more interested in good grades than
IN the welfare of others?
The child will carry out the ten
cts Of good health and ethics In
adult life which it learns in child
mood, 1t does seem that mothers pass
up a wonderful chance for training
IN health care and consideration for
others because of their own care
less attitude IN these matters. Ger

rooms would be sharply cut il We

GINGERBREAD

From Miss NJ. T. B., Washington.
1 am submitting recipe for
gingerbread l copied from an old
book called Triple and Snack, :"
which is the best gingerbread recipe
| have ever tried.
Black gingerbread: One cup black
molasses, 2 teaspoons powdered
ginger, l teaspoon cinnamon, p
teaspoon cloves. To this add one
egg well beaten together a table
spoon melted butter and l table
spoon melted lard. Add cups
slfted flour and stir to good bat
ter. Now. add l teaspoon baking
soda that is dissolved in y cup boil
ing water. Add the soda while it is
foaming. Stir quickly for a mo-
ment, pour into a shallow baking
pan and bake
Note: I have used 2 tablespoons
vegetable shortening when 1 could
not find the butter. I also find 1t
better to mix the spices with the
flour instead of directly with the
molaSses-unless you sift the spices
into the molasses.

FEEDING BABY.
From Mrs. V. F. p, Washington.
For Mrs. G. H. z. When your
child finishes all the other bottles
or seems satisfied after feelings let
him sleep through the 2 an. feed
ing. To be on the safe side make
up that bottle, if it isn't used you re
that much ahead and divide the
next formula into five parts in
stead of six. Never try to stop this
feeding as long as the baby wakes
up for it. At eight weeks my baby
slept through, but woke up about 5
am. L gave her a bottle then, and
with the aid of orange juice at 9
am. kept her from starving TIL
nearly 10, then gave the next feed
ing and We were on time for the
day
A baby of any age can use
bottle holder, as long as the bottle
or nipple has vent to let in air as
the milk is withdrawn. But I'm
against them. A tiny baby needs
the feeling of security smuggling in
mothers arms gives him, and most
mothers can afford 20 minutes every

the baby it's a nice little rest for
mother, who might feel she was
