By ANGELO PATRL HAVE room in the car for one more. Could Jean come along?” “I wish she could. She'd love it. She is crazy about the camp, but she has so much studying to do. She works about six hours after school. Some- times it is after 11 when she stops She’s doing two terms in one, so she | can graduate in June with her old class. You know, she lost a whole term because of that illness.” That is not good. Six hours of work after a school day of earnest effort such as this child put in 1s too much for the health of an adolescent girl. Her chief duty, the first one her par- | ents should consider, is the growth of her body. She needs 11 to 12 hours of sound sleep. She ought not to be worked to the limit of her strength daily. It is not safe to use up every atom of energy a child possesses. There must always be a margin of safety. Graduating in June meant gradu- ation from college a year earlier, a sav- ing of a year’s time in high schol for Jean, but it was to be saved at the risk of her health, and the price and its threat are too great. There is no hurry about graduation. I know that it seems as though there were. Money Iis scarce; life is uncertain; better work while there is time and a chance. Yes, because life is uncertain, so un- certain that nobody can foretell the future of any child, or his own for that matter, and because the balance is al- ways in favor of youth in the time re- lation, why hurry? Health must come first. Growth, try as you may, cannot be hurried. An illness that took out a year's schooling, or even one term’s work, is not a good basis for the idea that extra work is helpful. It ought to be a caution. Don't try to make time. You can's do it, anyway, and even should you push the child along to be graduated with her class, what of it? Lessons have little relation to growth, or health, or spiritual power. For these time is needed. The child who has failed in his term's work and cannot be promoted is often sent to Summer school to make up his work. Whether this is a good plan depends upon the reason for the failure. If the child is perfectly strong and well, and lost his work for some outside reason, the scheme may work. But, and this is very often the case, if the child failed because he was not mentally prepared for the work studying under pressure during the va- cation months rarely helps. Drill, or pressure, does not help the backward child. It helps the child who is really fit and who has a basic no- tion of the work, but it confuses and wearies the backward child and leaves him worse off than before. The best treatment to give the backward child is & rest, a change of occupation for the vacation period. Send him back to school refreshed in body and mind, and if there is any chance for him he has it then. The overdrifled, overroutined child goes back to school tired of the whole busi- ness. Consider well before using a va~- cation period for make-up lessons. Mr. Patri has prepared a leaflet entitled A Book List,” giving the titles of a wide variety of books all children should read.

It is also why so| many husbands and wives drift so far apart that by the time they are | middle-aged they are strangers who | do not speak the same language or have anything in common { ‘When a marriage turns out badly man always blames his wife for it.

All of his thoughts and in- terests are given to his business, and he virtually lives in a world of which she knows no more than she does of any unexplored country. Can any one doubt that the reason 50 many women slump, get fat and frowsy is because their husbands ap- parently never take any notice of how they look, never pay them a eompli- ment?

Be that as it may, the | fact is that few of us can stand on our heads or would want to. The next best thing is deep forward bend- ing and trunk circling. A brisk‘ exercise make a fine combine to fight sluggish skin. In addition to outdoor exercise, cir- culation creams are a tremendous help in bringing up the circulation and thereby bringing back normal, healthy color to the cheeks. The usual pro- cedure is as follows: First, the skin is cleansed care- fully, preferably with cleansing cream. Then a mild tonic is used to remove every bit of the cream and leave the pores completely free of dust, grime, make-up or the cream itself. Next comes the circulation cream. A thin film is spread over face and neck and allowed to remain until the skin tingles. This may be just a few minutes or as long as 15 or 20 minutes, depending upon the strength of the cream and the skin's reaction to it. As the skin becomes accustomed to this type of preparation it can stand having 1t on a little longer. The cream is removed with cleansing cream and tissues, then tissue cream follows and finally the tonic, and the skin should look much clearer, finer, heal- thier. “Sweeten it with Domino’ pure cane-clean-full weight Refined in USA! | WANT THRIVO, THE WONDERFUL HEALTH- AIDING FOOD FOR DOGS, INSTEAD OF FOODS WITH STARCHY CEREAL FILLERS. lTflllV!f FEED DOGS LESS STARCH, home-wrecking crew.
