days until they were able to
leave for their homes, their un-

of the drip. 1t can even lead to
bad breath, or nausea and vomit-
ing. The only way to cure this con-
dition is to FIND the cause. Consult
your physician, who will study
your case, and advise treatment.
Answer to Question No. 81
Freckles are caused by a collec-
ton of pigment in local areas
of the skin, and made more pro-
nounced by sunlight. Though some
people consider them disfiguring,
freckles are definitely harmless.
This condition is often a family
trait. It occurs most frequently in
blondes and red-headed people.

THE HISTORY of spices has been
wrapped up with the history of
mankind.
In Egypt and Palestine, spices
were used to embalm the bodies of
the dead Europe discovered spices,
about the same time the human
race discovered Europe. Marco Polo
travelled with spice caravans from
the Orient. America owes its dis
covery by white men to the inter
ruption of the spice trade which
occurred when the Turks captured
Constantinople.
More modern times have hailed
French cookery as peerless-and it
is the subtle and imaginative use
of spices and herbs which make
it so.
Everyone knows what such old
standbys as cinnamon, nutmeg,
cloves, ginger and allspice do, singly
or in combinations, for cakes, cook
les, doughnuts, rolls. But have you
tried spices for your meat dishes?

An Editorial
Building Good
Eating Habits

"CHILDREN'S ATTITUDES to-
ward food, eating IN d mealtime
form early in life, usually following
the example set by their parents.
If adults enjoy a variety of foods,
children assume the same reaction.
The parents habits, likes and dis
likes, become those of the children.
Reject one kind of food-and child
will do likewise, if for no other rea-
son that the rejection makes him
feel more grown up.
"Offer new foods when children
and the rest of the family are hun
cry and in good spirits. If the food
is not eaten, ignore the incident, but
offer the food in new way, a few
days later. Chances are it will soon
be eaten and enjoyed.
children usually respond favor
ably to 'child-size' bits of food.
Serve finger foods when practical.
Encourage children to serve them
selves and make selections between
two or more vegetables.
diet fads appear occasionally, but
seldom change the family meal pat
tern or habits. A well-balanced diet
containing a variety of nourishing
foods helps make for healthier, hap

Rural Life Sunday, which had its
roots in the Rogation Days, is day
set apart for emphasizing the mean
ing of Christianity for rural life; for
the invocation of Gods blessing up
on the seed, the fruits of the soil, the
cultivation of the earth; and for the
consideration of justice for agricul-
ture and the spiritual values of rural
life. 1t was first observed in 1929
at the suggestion of the Internation-

sionS.
