One thing the homemaker should “For Yourself.” ©Old Margaret, the nurse, always says “Now my little man, eat your dinner for yourself.” “Take a rest for your- self.” “Will you have a drink for yourself now?” And that is a most wise way of putting things to all small children, and some larger ones. When one says to a whimpering child, “Now be a good ;l;:filfl for Mother. Take a little sip of Like a good child, do this for |y k. Mother,” oneé gives the child a very mistaken idea.

It is the child who has been trained to eat for mother, to say his prayers for Daddy, to keep still for Grand- mother, who, when he gets into school, refuses to do his lessons for the teacher. As few geoph outside the family care at all what a child does, this is a bad situation. It is better to teach a child from the beginning that the routine he fol- lows is for his own sake, nobody else's. He drinks milk because he likes it and wants it and needs it. He washes his face because it is his face. He takes care of his things because they are his DIET AND HEALTH BY LULU HUNT PETERS, M. D. Cracking Joints. “Mrs. 1’s joints pop at every move- ment. It is most embarrassing. Is it serious?” This cracking of the joints probably indicates some degree of chronic in- flammation, perhaps coupled with a looseness of the ligaments. No, it is not serious, if you mean by serious anything that is going to immediately endanger your life. The cause of joint inflammation is a baffling thing in many cases. It may be due to infections from decayed teeth or abscesses at the roots of apparently MENU FOR A DAY.

Just because a dish is novel does not make it any more us than some of Y, that have proved stand-bys for generations. I remember one man ordering New England bolled dinner when he could have had his pick of many fancy dishes at a hotel. His reaton was that it had been so long sin¢e he had that dish, and he liked it. This is but an example o6f why restaurateurs always have & good selection of regulation dishes together with novel ones. Many of the old-time dishes are no more work to prepare than modern ones, notwithstanding the tendency to speed up housework by having easy- to-prepare foods. Sometimés one won- ders what all the rush is about, whit is 80 much more important than a good home and & good table. The house- wife of a generation ago considered a home table valuable to health, and was unequaled for her appetizing dishes. She did not have to have new combinations of ingredients constantly in order to suit herself or her family. By the way, it is usually to suit her- self that a housewife today searches |for a variety, novelty and constant difference in her menus. Instead of catering to the special likes and dis- likes of her family she is inclined to seek to add to her list of foods. Mem- bers of the family often prefer their old favorite dishes. The modern homemaker, therefore, should be careful mot to cut out fine old recipes in favor of the new. | She should learn to include the new without sacrificing the old. (Copyright, 1929.)

No doubt you will say, ‘Why doesn't she diet?”” I wish you only knew how hard I have tried, but it seems to be of no use. I have given up eating butter, white bread, potatoes and cake, drinking milk—in fact, all sweets and starchy foods. Don't you think I should lose at least a few pounds? 1Is it exercise I need? I do housework, but no extra exercise. I am 5 feet 7 inches tall, 18 years old, and weigh 190 pounds. Most of my weight is in my trunk and shoulders, as my legs are well formed. Is fat inherited, and isn't it natural for some to be stout? “M.” My dear girl, it isn't what you don't eat that makes you fat. Your list of what you don’t eat could be much longer, and still you could be eating enough of the fcods that you do eat, to make you overweight. (You should not cut out milk nor all the starches from your diet.) Fat is caused by overheating for the needs. You must either increase your needs by increasing your exercise and physical activities, or else you have to decrease your food intake. The only way you will ever know just how much you are eating is to learn the caloric values of all foods. Then you must limit your calories to the number which will reduce you. No, M., fat is not inherited, nor is excess fat natural. I repeat: it comes simply from overeating for the needs. | And ‘this is true even though there should be some glandular disturbance.

Goofy Doings of STAR, WASHINGTON, Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. ‘Wordless Thinking. Some of the early Greeks supposed that “nothing is permanent but change.” Words were considered no exception to this universal law, Some went 8o far s to quit talking altogether, and re- sorted to the expedient of merely points ing and nodding. They Sup] that words would change {rom what they were to something else by the timeé they reached the ears of the listener. S0, for them, writing was still more out of the question. Mere words for these scholars meant nothing, no matter how they were expressed. There was, of course, other early Greeks who took & con- trary view of the question. This, of course, sounds silly to us to- But the early Greeks were arguing about the sense or nonsense of using words at all. Not & bad question. Un- less it's & question of receiving so much per word. In this day of grace the word ques- tion has taken another form: Can we think without the use of words? This is really a serious matter. 1t ma; be that the people who are living 2 centuries hence will regard this as & silly question. But I shall not Worry about that. The point is that some modern psy- chologists believe that it is impossible to think at all unless you think in terms of worde. Others subscribe to the doctrine of “wordless thought.” So far as I can find out those who hold to the doctrine of “wordless think- ing” are decidedly in the minority. The argument is mainly against them, de- spite the fact that we all have ideas for which we have no words. The argument runs as follows: Words are the signs of ideas. Admitted. Think- ing is & process of linking ideas together in usable combinations. Admitted. Words are the very things that put the thought processes in order. Even it words are arbitrary things, standardized by usage and taught in the schools, it does not follow that they are not an improvement over the natural ability to entertain disconnected ideas. You can d® no consecutive, worth-while thinking unless you understand the signs for the ideas. These signs are words. If you don't believe it, try your thought processes on ghese words: anthroposophist, apocynaceae, steato- day. matous. (Copyright, 1020.) Historic Persons Thoreau’s Uncle Charles Indulged in Surprising Athletic Feats at Unexpected Tirges. “HE COULD AT Charles Dunbar occupies a tiny niche in history because he happened to be the uncle of Henry Thoreau, whose im- pon:nu as a writer increases for us But what an uncle! He stands in the forefront of the uncles of all time— & man who was the perfect delight of the small folk among whom he dwelt, an ideal relation in the eyes of youth, a superman, a marvel; in truth, a god. How the boy, Henry Thoreau, must have admired him. From the worldly viewpoint, Charles Dunbar was perhaps a failure. He could not settle down. Work had no great allure for him. He liked tavern com- y, though he did not dissipate. Yet e was & great man. He had outstand- ing accomplishments which he dis- yrl‘-ye&l. unexpectedly to delight his many ends.

He could play tricks with cards, toss his hat high in the alr and catch it on his head, swallow his nose and juggle like a professional, though he was never anything but an amateur. At the inn he was apt to seize the knives, forks and plates from the table with magical methods that concealed how the trick was done. He did this on days when his funds were low.

He could while leading his oxen leap over the yoke as neatly as possible. The jump was not so great, but it required skill, for your feet must be held nicely together in order that you might come down_between the placid oxen without rumpling one of their hairs. A quaint character, Charles. His greatest passion was wrestling. ‘Tho- reau’s biographer, Bazalgette, says that “with him wrestling was a primal, neces- sary function, like eating and drinking. ¢ ¢ * He would wa into your house * * * with the remark, * e along. I'm going to throw you,' * * * and you had to go out and phcemr- self in position. Of course, he did w you.” Dunbar was apt to be seized with & sudden desire for wrestling, just as some folks grow thirsty for a glass of strong drink. It seems that he never suffered the humiliation of a defeat. He had a strange knack of falling asleep at any time or place. He was known suddenly to slumber while he was shaving. It being prohibited in his day to sleep on Sunday, he was obliged to concentrate on some occupation that would keep him awake. He had a tremendous singing voice. And among the things that set him aside from other men was the fact that, though he lost all his teeth at 21, others grew in to take their place. A goofy person, this uncle of Henry Thoreau, but all the more to be loved and admired because of his goofiness. (Copyright, 1920.)

Something quite unusual and inter- esting in the way of a muffin stand is shown in the accompanying illustration. Quite different from the ordinary muf- fin stand, with the three legs and circu- lar trays, this has six rectangular ones, each measuring about 6 by 14 inches. The most attractive feature of this particular muffin stand is that on one side the leaves may be dropped down end the stand placed against a wall, thus taking up little room and at the same time providing space for some of the necessary tea things. Tea plates, cups, saucers, cream pitchers and sugar bowl may be kept on this stand all the time. en when the stand is wanted for service, the leaves may be lifted on the other side to provide sufficient room for sandwich and cake plates as well as a pot of tea. is unique muffin stand is about 33 inches high and is made in mahogany. For dining room, breakfast room, li- brary or living room (at side of fire- place) this would prove a very attrac- tive and decorative piece. e Chocolate Animals.
