Child Who Is Inuttentive
May Have Hearing Difficulty

how his poor hearing hampers him
in learning to speak foreign lam
guage, or even to speak distinctly
in his own language. At home or
school, he may speak too high or too
low, too loud or too softly and may
slip over certain sounds or parts of
words. He may drift into a mono
tone in speech. Certainly, such signs
should cause a teacher or parent to
have an expert check made on the
child's hearing.
How very difficult for the child
at two or so to develop good speech
if he does not hear well. The first
thing parent should suspect in
case child is retarded in talking
some at least is that he may not
hear we'll. my bulletin, "The Young
Child's Speech" may be had in a
stamped envelope.)
We parents have chief response
bility for preventing and detecting
hearing impairment and for guard
ing against its encroachment. Even
in states where hearing tests are
conducted in schools, children below
eight are not often included in the
test program.
General Health
Let us work with the physician
for good general health in our chill
dren and be alert to colds. Head
colds are one of the most common
source of ear troubles. Earache,
running ears or dulled hearing in
connection with a cold should have
prompt attention of the physician.
Indeed, if you observe long violent
crying in the infant or young child,
you might suspect ear infection, un-
til the physician checks.
Children's diseases, such as scar
let fever, measles, mumps, whoop-
ing cough, and chicken pox, may
take their toll of hearing. Not only
during such illness, but also at reg
ular intervals for several months
thereafter, the child's ears shoult
be checked by the physician. There
by good hearing could be saved il
hundreds of children who otherwis
must spend the rest of their live
in a soundless world.
Once there is hearing impairmen
in the child beyond medical aid, tn
best corrective measures include Il
reading and hearing aids.
There are many services aval
able for the hard-of-hearing chi
dren and their parents through tt
public health and education depar
ments of states and cities. Advi'
and guidance for parents are al:
available from local Leagues of Il
Hard of Hearing, or Chapters OF Il
Society for Crippled Children.

"THIS menu for the steamboat
supper you had at the Food Editors
Conference must have been very in
teresting." remarked the Chef. look
ing over the quaint menu with its
illustrations of river boats. And
here are the words and music OF one
of the folk songs of the Mississippi
River. Let's see how it goes"
"Before you start singing. Chef,
let me tell you about that menu. 1t
contains many suggestions for
last-minute informal supper party
for tomorrow. or during the holi-
days. And it's so easy to prepare
that even kitchenetters could carry
it out with the help of their grocer
and delicatessen. The supper was
given by an outstanding food com
pany, famous for years for the wide
variety of their condiments. Good
food and plenty of it was the rule
in the days of the old Mississippi
river boats. So as much of the food
as possible was arranged on the
table when the guests entered the
dining-room. (And this method is
one of the easiest ways to serve
home suppers.)
Fruit and Nuts
"a high pedestaled bowl filled
with fruit and nuts was centered on
each table. Around this were circled
catsup, chill sauce, mustard, jams,
jellies, pickles, spiced fruits and
olives. Hot corn bread and biscuits
were heaped on big plates. Butter
and spreads were handy. The first
course, shrimp steamboat style, was
arranged on salad plates-a ring OF
shrimp with catsup-horseradisf
sauce in the middle"
"The main dish of chicken ant
oyster pie must have been very good
Madame"
at was delicious. The chicken ant
oysters were heated in thick ricf
cream sauce, put in individual pit
dishes, and served topped with no
baked rounds of pastry cut to fit
With these they served succotasl
and stuffed eggplant"
Stuffed Peppers
'If our readers cannot get egg
plant, they can use stuffed gree
peppers" suggested the Chef.
1.-The next course was cold har
with cucumber and tomato salad, L
the style of River Boat days"
"And what was the desser'
Madame?"
"Macedoine of fruits, with hig
pecan layer cake and coffee"
"a fine supper menu that coul
be adapted to a company elthe
large or SMALL" commented tn
Chef.

A Quaint
1uiirdo Is
The Style
Nv HELEN FOLLETT

PRETTY young things, attend
ing high school or college, are going
quaint. Perhaps you have noticed
the Alice-in- Wonderland hair ar
rangement. There is center part
ing and bangs cut straight across.
The hair flows over the shoulders,
ends turned under. not sign of a
wave or a curl. A straight band of
ribbon holds bangs and tresses in
place.
The close crop has been winning
more and more addicts. Women who
have been wearing the uppity ar
rangement sigh with relief to be rid
of the bother of forming rolls and
anchoring them down so they stay
put. With the three-inch clip they
feel younger because they look
younger. All too often, they found,
the topknot style made them appear
top heavy and oh, so formal! These
casual hairdos are joy, No trouble.
No bother. And permanents are not
necessary if the hair has the slight
est tellAsHIy W asouiilS oii Hi'N~
ton.
Parted on Side
The "bustle back" is iourishing.
Shoulder length hair is parted on
the side, drawn smoothly back, held
with tuck combs. The ends of the
strands are in soft curls that cluster
closely together at the nape line. If
the hair is heavy, tuck combs may
not hold and rubber band can be
used to keep the hair in chignon
form. During the merry evening a
single fresh flower can snuggle
among the ringlets.
Short hair depends so much on
clever trimming that one can't be
too fussy in the search for a good
hair stylist. 1t is easy enough to find
an operator who will give one first
class shampoo and wave set, but
cutting requires skill that the ordi-
nary operator in beauty shop may
not have because of lack of training
along this particular line.
Don't forget that the chic hairdo
is the making of woman. Many
men say they notice woman's hair
first of all. They like coiffures that
are smart, sassy and neat. Blowsi
ness they detest.
Roanoke Rapids daily herald., 1948-11-24

"And what's MORE" added. "all
the foods could be bought ready to
eat with the exception of the chicken
and oyster pie.
Dessert Party
"Now here's another menu Chef,
for dinner given by the coffee peo-
pie. And the unique dessert service
they used would be excellent for our
readers if they're giving dessert
bridge party. After the main course
of the dinner was over, the lights
we're dimmed leaving only the flick
ering candles. and we heard soft
Latin American singing to the
strains of guitar"
"How romantic!" sighed the Chef.
"Too bad the gentlemen were ex-
cluded from this ladies' food confer
ence."
"Then came walters wheeling roll
ing carts containing several kinds OF
extraordinary coffee-favored pas
tries, cakes and desserts. The
thought flashed through my mind
that any of our readers could make
similar good use of tea-cart and
collection of her best desserts, in
serving her own guests"
Gay Nineties Dinner
"And here is this Gay Nineties
Dinner Menu" said the Chef. at is
printed in French. Very elegant. A
menu for the High Cuisine of the
Grand Chef"
"And it was carried out in the
tradition of the Gay Nineties and
the spirit of New York City's Golden
Jubilee Celebration, by prominent
frozen food company" l explained.
an the nineties it would have taken
day or more to prepare. But today
our readers can easily duplicate this
entire menu, even for last minute
Thanksgiving dinner, by using pre-
pared and quick-frozen foods"

WE know today that high-strung
people are likely to pay a heavy
physical toll for their nervous ten
sion. More and more we are finding
that diseases which work havoc with
bodily tissues have their roots in
prolonged over-stimulation OF one
or another of the nervous systems
governing the body's actions.
Newest Of the disorders to be
added to this list is pruritus ami, an
| intense and annoying itching OF the
skin around the lower opening OF
the bowel.
This is a very common condition
and one which has been stubborn
to treat and has resisted even sur
pical methods of controlling it.
Irritating Fluid
| Most patients with this disorder
are emotional and intense. They
seem to have a slight leakage o1
irritating fluid from the lower bow
el opening lilo tiS "e
skin. There is also some relaxation
, of the circular muscle around thi'
, opening. 1t has been suggested tina
they also suffer from inability to di
gest starchy foods properly. Be
cause Of these facts, treatment wa
' tried much like that used for pa
t tients with nervous Indigestion.
S The patients were given a mix
5 ture containing atropine and phen
/. obarbital, which is sedative o
quieting drug, and a substanc
e which aids in the digestion Q
e starchy foods. With this treatmen
:. some measure of relief is obtained
Y However, it was found that the pa
e. tients could not take these drug
if over a long period, of time.
y Another drug was then added
,e the mixture. This was known 9

ProIonued Nervous Tension

which is used in the treatment OF
epilepsy. 1t was found that, through
its action on the nervous system,
this drug was quite helpful in con-
trolling and often in clearing up the
itching.
Internal Drugs
The mixture of internal drugs
thus was given in the form of cap
sule four times a day. Many of the
patients obtained prompt relief,
while in others from six to eight
weeks treatment was necessary be-
fore Improvement was noted.
About one-third Of the patients
did not benefit by the treatment. A
variation in the type of preparation
used was necessary in these per-
sons. In some, the other prepara-
tions used in the treatment Of epi-
lepsy. such as glutamic acid or trid-
lone, were tried. Others were treat
ed with drugs which are helpful for
allergy. such as benadryl or pyri-
benzamine. Some patients respond
ed to the treatment only when they
were given alkaline substances
such as baking soda.
Difficult to Treat
The patients most difficult to treat
were those who are most emotional
The women outnumbered the mer
in this respect. A severe nervous
upset usually preceded the onset o,
the itching or occurrences of th'
disorder.
Il In addition to the treatment witt
. the drugs, it is important to keel
the affected area clean. not onl,

MANY child shamed, scolded and
punished for inattention or disobe-
dience at home or school does not
hear well. And nobody may know
that he doesn't. He may not himself
be aware of his poor hearing, and
if he is he may try to cover up this
defect. Often the hard of hearing
child will choose a seat in the class
room farthest away from the teach
er's desk.
This child does not, of course,
hear everything he is supposed to
hear IN the classroom. See how
much he may miss there! Then if
suddenly called upon to speak in
class, he may indicate by his re-
marks that he did not get what had
just been said by the teacher or a
classmate, and be rebuked for mat
tention or laziness. How could he
recall what he didn't hear?
On the Playground
When on the playground at home
or school he does not hear well, he
may appear to others to be stupid
and be treated so by them. Just for
him to have a blank look when
others are talking of things they
suppose are familiar to him causes
others to think him queer. You and
| know very we'll, too, that when we
have not heard clearly something
we were supposed to hear. we may
feel very uncomfortable.

argue it with you. Mary herself has
solved that question. She asked me
to tell you that she wished you
would ask her and Noel to dinner
tonight, because she realized the
boys wished to be alone with u.s."
Another Protest
"But," Olga protested even as
Junior had done. "Mary is Rod

she is straining the point about
Noel, because she thinks it may
help to placate Philip. And, as she

Noel shall come to dinner. Tell her
also that l am grateful to her for
her thoughtfulness. 1t will help me

what would have told you anyway

"Then l am grateful to Noel"

your generosity in taking all blame
