MAYBE there are folks, many
of them, that aver that child
should be satisfied with its sur
roundings, whatever they may be.
That is all very we'll, but as child
grows into its teens it becomes
acutely aware of it's surroundings.
A home doesn't have to be lavish to
be lovely and to look lived-in. But
it must be bright and cheerful, at
tractive and Notwithstanding
that doesn't require lot of money,
but that does require sense and good
judgment.
If all teen-agers had homes In
which they were proud to entertain
their friends and / mes which fur
nished a degree of comfort and IA
cilities for their own amusement
there would undoubtedly be a size
able decrease in the juvenile delin-
quency rate. The streets, the corner
drug store, the undesirable hang
outs would soon lose their appeal.
Sense OF Ownership
During their teens young people
develop sense of ownership, they
want a certain degree of privacy
and a place for possessions of their
own. Making over an ordinary bed
room into a bed-living room can
help to fill these needs nicely and
give them a pleasant spot to enter
tain their friends without having
the rest Of the family underfoot. By
letting teen-agers plan and fix up
a room, there is bestowed a sense
Of possession and pride that is
character-developing.
There's no need for lavish lay
out. Remember that a youngsters

Doing Over Teen-Ager's Room
Needn't Be Expensive Project

roundings are vastly different from
those Of an adult.
Comfort to youngster means
plenty of parking space for games,
hobby and similar equipment. Law
ishness means comfortable chairs,
bright lamps and a table that can
take a beating. 1t means adequate
Longing space, for which there is
nothing better than a good sofa bed
or mattress and springs-on-legs,
which, when properly covered, does
sway with all trace of the conven-
tional sleeping space and SO makes
the room real living room.
Bedroomish curtains and Grapes
should be replaced with draperies to
match the bed slipcover. Materials
need not be expensive, but they
should be sturdy and comfortable.
Let the children have a hand in
selecting the color scheme and in
buying the materials and access
series. Let them complete the room
or rooms with an eye to their in
terests and hobbies.
Sectional Lines
A desk, chest, functional stor-
age pieces built on sectional lines
are available, implanted, and it is
fun doing them over to suit. Or
make storage pieces out of old
orange crates, painting them to tie
in with the color scheme. Pictures,
lounge chair, knick-knacks for the
room can be taken care of by birth
day and Christmas presents, good
solution to the gift problem.
A youngster soon learns that fun
is where you find it, so it is best
that he or she finds it in the home,
where, although there is parental
control, it is tactfully and unobtru-
sively soft-pedaled.

Teen-Age Marriages. Are Not
Advised; They Seldom Succeed

as she writes of her daughter eight
cen years old "who expects to 60
to college" and is "about to be en-
gagged to a boy sixteen years old
who has quit high school,"
Teen-age marriages are usually
poor risks, except perhaps when the
young couple coming from the farm
settle down on farm. In the first
place, marriage SO young means
that each spouse has had a very
limited companionship with the OPP
posite sex, losing to this degree in
personality growth. Too, the eco
nomic risk is hazardous, neither
spouse having much education for
any vocation.
Value of Education
Of course, we parents can argue
in vain on the value of more educa-
ton and vocational preparation
before marriage, so long as almost
any youth can get job at fabulous
pay regardless of his education, as
has been happening. But what is 60
ing to happen when harder times
come? And they are surely coming.
Accustomed from early childhood
to have what he wants when he
wants it, with very little guidance
at home or school at planning and
looking ahead and considering val
ues five, ten, or twenty years hence,
the average youth tends to think
only in terms of here-and-now.
Accordingly, a boy and girl in their
teens, struck with romantic love
may, in defiance of any reasoning
appeal by their parents, feel sure
they can each get good job right
away and finance their undertake
ing without hardship. Don't they
see many of their associates doing
so? So long as the present economic
conditions prevail many youths will
go on marrying very early.
Now as you and l know, when a
pair of youths are enmeshed in ro-
mantle love they are not inclined
to reason. If we are to win them
through reason to be more sensible
we will have to begin on them be-
fore they are ready to "fall in love"
Silent Influence
Many parents have been so elo-
quent in their silent influence or
so persuasive in their early guild
ance of the growing child in home
of delightful companionship as to
cause their son or daughter to wait
and to weigh values in perspective
instead of the here-and-now. Con-
sciously or unconsciously these wise
parents began when the child was
very young to prepare him for wise
choice of a mate and for success at
marriage by and by.
Some months ago l was discuss
ing this subject of very early mar
riage before a group Of students
and specialists in a family life
course at the Montana State Col
lege, at Bozeman. The group arrived
at the conclusion that courses in
family life should begin in the first
year of high school, even earlier,
with the hope of leading youths
much earlier to thinking effectively
about the responsibilities of mar
riage and the effort at self -disci-
pline needed to make a 60 of mar
riage. Regrettably, there are few
courses in high school, even in col
lege, on family life appealing to
boys as well as girls.

IN recent years there have been
many hasty marriages of youths
who have just finished high school,
even before. Some of these youths
are from homes which are able to
finance higher education. The prob
lem appears more tragic to parents
when the son or daughter who easily
could 60 on to college suddenly mar
ries a boy or girl who cannot go to
college or who quits high school
before graduation. For example, a

"A Tongue
Tells The
Doctor All
By HERMAN n. BUNDEsEN, MD.

THE appearance Of the tongue
often tells the doctor q good deal
about the condition Of his patient
and there are certain disorders
which may be reflected in an inflam-
nation Of the tongue known as
glossitis.
When present for long periods of
time, the slossitis is termed "chron-
ic." In this form it is especially sig
niicant and may be due to fungus
or yeast infection, = condition
known as leukoplakia and syphilis,
However. slossitis most frequently
may be caused by malnutrition.
Covering Membrane
In such cases, there is, at first, an
overgrowth Of the covering mem
brane Of the tongue just behind the
tip. As the condition continues,
there may be wasting Of the tissues
within the membrane SO that the
tongue becomes completely smooth.
The disorder may progress slowly
or rapidly, so that smooth tongue
may develop within few weeks or
only after many months.
When the condition Is due to mall
nutrition, correcting the malnutri-
ton by adding the necessary food
parts to the diet will usually clear
up the tongue disturbance.
1t has been reported in some
cases, that Z definite improvement
of the glossitis due to malnutrition
occurs when niacin is administered.
Niacin is . part Of the Vitanrin B.
complex.
Other doctors have noted, how
ever, that the tongue becomes nor
NAL only after the entire B-complex
is taken.
Thirty patients who had chronic
tongue Inflammation ascribed to
nalnutrition were studied. Fifteen
of the patients were given niacin
daily, while the other is were given
Vitamin A or Vitamin C.
Showed improvement
Out Of ten Of the patients who
remained under treatment for at
least Is months, Ave showed definite
improvement. Only eight of those
receiving Vitamins A and C re-
manned under observation for IS
months, and none was benefited.
This study indicates that a def
siency Of niacin may be one of the
important factors responsible for
tongue Inflammation which devel-
ops in malnourished patients.
As might be expected, chronic
glossitis may accompany severe
diarrhea such as occurs in ulcera-
tive colitis. Once the disease has
been cleared up SO that the patient
is able to make use Of the food he
eats, the tongue becomes normal.
If chronic glossitis occurs, it is
important that the patient be given
a well-balanced diet, including all
Of the necessary food parts, such as
protein from meat, milk and eggs;
starchy foods and sugar; fats, and
all Of the necessary vitamins and
minerals. II some special vitamin
preparation is needed, the ply
stefan will prescribe the proper one.
