~ Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. Up to a certain age parents must be responsible for their children's safety; their :Ketnme and habits. Begin- 5 years ‘the child is on his his training up to that time thould be toward that end. One cannot throw a: 5-year-old into the street and expect him to take care of himself if heretofore he has not been taught how to do this; neither can onc ex- pect a neat appearance or prompt at- tention &t school if the mother has always up to this time shouldered all these burdens for him. Training be- gins at birth. The results are appar- ent at 5 years. There are children who grow up and assume the duties of a home who do not know what responsibility or self- reliance mean. They have depended first on their mothers, then on their At 5 years the child knows how to tell time, if he has been forced to learn: he is capable of dressing him- self: he can count up to. 10 pennies |and understands what they are for. | Let him button his own clothes and |lace his own shoes even if your nerv- | ous. agile fingers ftch to do it for him. [Let him watch the clock in prepara- { tion for keeping his own engagements and eease to feel any responsibility for | his keeping them. The less you help the more burden he assumes, Your !duty is to have clean clothes in the | drawer for him to don, breakfast on | | time for him to eat.

THE SUNDAY Lacquering With Gay Colors. STAR, WASHINGTO! D. C. TEBRUARY 26, 2 1928—PART The sketch shows some of the things you can do with lacquer. You can revamp old farniture or make of inexpensive, unpainted new fur- niture something really very choice. You can paint things for the kitchen—brooms and brushes, dust pans and trash cans—to bring them all into an interesting color harmony. You can make lovely gifts by lacquering jars and bottles and boxes, pasting a colored picture on them, and then shellacking them. mother assumes the duties of an alarm | clock and warns him intermittently | selves.

It pleases a mother to have her child lean heavily upon her. to find him un- able to make a decision without her guidance and advice, to see him un- | happy out of her presence. But what of the child?

It is fully two years now since any one has wrmyen to ‘ask me what's good for rheumatism. The very best thing I know for rheumatism is just to forget it, if anything really alls you, and devote yourself to the sensible busi- ness of getting rellef for what alls you.

But if I had ar- thritism I should certainly have some of these medicines when 1 wanted ‘em. I suppose if 1 ever do develop the dis- ease, I'll get the chronic progressive pessimistic type. The innumerable baths, air, water, mud, bakings, massages, and other physical or mechanical methods of treatment, surely cannot be called cura- tive, though they frequently give the patient grateful comfort and for that they deserve all credit. The latest de- velopment in this line, and as it seems to me the most efficlent, is diathermy, a method of getting heat into the deep tissues by means of specfal electrical apparatus. Patients uniformly praise this treatment, and in medical hands it will at least do not lmm. 928 root of a tooth? It would be wise to have this investigated by a doctor who | knows his way about. In any case it is mighty foolish to assume it is “rheu- matism” and fritter away your iime and substance on alleged cures or reme- | dies. Maybe your arthritism is not of the infectious type at all. Maybe it is non- infectious or trophic arthritis. About half of all cases, as well as we know at present, are of the infectious type, | and half are of the trophic type. We | krlow very little about the trophic type of arthritism. But our ignorance need | [#5 not prevent us from giving sufferers |8 such relief as we can. In every case the patient’s physician | alone can judge whether activity, ex- ercise, use of the affected joint, or | inactivity, rest, or supporting dressings or appliances should be used. Liniments, salves and other external medicaments, though of course with- out systemic effect (except such vola- i tile substances as may be inhaled) are often very serviceable in relieving stiffness, soreness and pain. They do this through the influence of counter- irritation mainly, and through the in- fluence of massage secondarily. There are many good liniments or embroca- tions, none objectionable if it gives the patient any comfort or palliation. Neither external medication nor in- ternal medication can be®expected to give more than temporary relief or . pallation, I believe.

Each one was labeled, and 2s she handed the purse to me I read the items—cook, maid, laundress, butcher, grocer, ice, butter, eggs, milk. She explained that every Monday she put in each pocket the amount needed for the week. I suggested that, according to the season of the year, some of the items would vary in price. She said that was true, and when, for instance, butter (and eggs were high she cut down a little 6n something else, probably bought @ less expensive vegetable or plece of | meat, or left off an unnecessary addi- tion to ber dinner, such as celery, for | 8! | cxample. “With only a littie thought | on the subject she has proved that she can housekeep on the same amount in {the budget pocketbook every weck in lacquering? e\q'm.l c:n really make the | prettiest things, from tables ! and chairs to cases for cigar-| ettes and handkerchiefs, devised from all sorts of odds and ends, all the way | boxes that figs came in once held marmalade. s To begin with, the furniture. e only thing you do to it is to clean it thoroughly and get it thoroughly dry—and then paint it.

If the particular brand of paint you are using recommends a particular | kind of brush, then by all means use that kind. The recommendation may be just a bit of wordy talk, but on the other hand, it may be, and probably is, the result of careful experiment. A friend of mine made many lovely Christmas gifts out of old boxes and bottles and jars. 8he cleaned them and then covered them with a coat of lacquer or enamel.

Choose With Care If you are giving a card party and ) must choose a prize, do be discriminat- ing in your choice. It 15 such an easy thing to choose a lovely prize for a dollar.

Fortunately, most of vs con't have| 810 to waste on card party przes, But | many of us do have to buy them occa- | sionally, and we usually feel very for-| tunate if we can get something worth while for a dollar. A pack of cards, if you will notice, is always an acceptable prize, and you can get a very pretty one for less than a dollar. I have noticed that when prizes are offered to the highest score so that she may choose first, she very often chooses the pack of cards if it is among the things offeted. Even though some of the other things may have cost more. Candy is always a nice prize when you haven't much money to spend. A small amount of really good candy, at- tractively wrapped. Flowers, too, are always acceptable. A fern or a flowering plant or cut flow- ers. A few cut flowers in a cheap little vase, a vase that is simple in style and neutral in color, is sure to be a pretty prize. For men the candy and cards hold good, too.
