NEW BRITAIN DAV “FRALD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 22, 1014, Don’t Threaten to Cal a Po'iceman on Your Obsterperous Little Child You May Intimidate Him But the Same Bugaboo May at Another Time Drive It Into Hysterics—Family Phy- sician Should Be Regarded As Friend. The obstreperous child will often give you a feeling of helplessness, and be tempted to call in the assistance of a stronger power. You threaten to call in the policeman. Of course you never do call in the police- man, but the threat serves your im- mediate purpose. For the time being the child is intimidated, and you heave a sigh of relief. But in calling upon the name of the law’s minion thus in vain you have ac- complished more than you really had in mind. You have, indeed, subdued the. little rascal; but you have also converted a powerful and useful friend into a dangerous-enemy. ‘When a very young child has been thus brutally scared by the bugaboo Wwe can understand his going into a fit 'of hysterics upon the policeman taking him in his arms the day he got lost in the park. For when he grew olderr and got lost on a strange street, he .knew enough to ask for guidance to helpfind his way home; but he was too wise to ask the policeman; he asked a stranger instead. He did not know that the policeman was the safest man to ask; he knew no more that the policeman is his friend than did the baby ‘that went into hysterics. However, a walk through a city park must impress one with the change that has come about in the re- lation between the children and the policeman. The attitude of the latter has changed in the course of a genera- tion, largely through the agitation for _giving the city child a chance to play; in part also because of the different type of men to be found on the police force. But the greatest and most en- couraging change is that in the par- ents. It is now the most ignorant or the most thoughtless who still resort to the use of this friend as a bugaboo, Our intelligence has not gone far enough to make us eliminate from our armory all bugaboos. If a child has had a disagreeable quarter of an hour under the dentist's drill, he will re- member for a long time that he suf- fered. But it would be stupid, indeed, ‘to’ threaten another visit to the dentist ds a pendlty for refusing to brush the teeth. ° M2 * White it is true that neglect of the ‘téeth will ‘necessitate a visit' fo the, dentist, the attitude toward thé den- tist must be one of compiete friend- liness, and not that of fear. He is the person to help us when our teeth have got into trouble through neglect, or to help us avold trouble in the future. He is not to be looked upon as the you will KEENEY’'S WEEK BEGINNING AUGUST 17.

We should make an endeavor td help the child associate the pain with the conse- quences of his own acts or neglects, and not with the ministration of the dentist. Even more important is the attitude that the child comes to assume toward the physician. When you do have oc- casion to call a physician for the child you are anxious to have him help you. But if you have made the bitter medicine the symbol of un- pleasant punishment you have dis- credited the physician’s tools and have placed a serious obstacle in his way. From earliest infancy it should be the mother’s aim to develop in the child an dttitude of friendliness and confidence toward the family physician for upon this attitude will largely de- pend the physician’s ability to be of help in curing disease and in main- taining the health of the child. Ex- perience has shown that if such an attitude is cultivated the word of the physician will come to carry great weight with the child, and can then be used to support you not only in matters pertaining to health, but in the whole conduct of the child’s life. A little boy who had this attitude early developed in him could be made to refrain from the most tempting foods by the simple assurance that “Dr. Jones said that this would not be good for you;” and every little boy and every little girl will be tempted to eat and to do what considerations of health would forbid, but what or- dinary authority cannot easily pre- vent. The ability and the personality of the physician are, of course, impor- tant in securing the child’s affection and confidence. But the physician can- not overcome the obstacles put in his way by a wrong attitude on the part of the parents. A child suffering from pleurisy could not have his ailment diagnosed because every time the -physician appeared the child was thrown into spasms. While ‘this is no doubt an extreme case, the sarne kinds of forces are at work to counteract the specialist’s best efforts where thoughtless parents cultivate buga- boos instead of - cultivating friend- ship. With the right feeling, with an ap- preciation of the friendship of the physician, the sick child looks for- ward to the .physician’s visit with pleasurable anticipations, which is it- self a step toward: getting well. While confined by diphtheria a child who had the greatest affection and gratitude for the physician, complained after several daily visits.that the doctor was doing nothing to get him out of bed. He had been so pleased with the re- lef that the antitoxin afforded him, and he was feeling so well, that he could not understand why this good | friend and wonderful helper should I be so unable. to discharge him from il his prison.

The Fox patrons who witnessed the screen portrayal yesterday can at- test to its great merit both from an interesting and moral standpoint, and is a production that should be seen by all. Mary Pickford isseen at her best in the character of “Tess” and she attains a dramatic triumph greater than any that has yet distinguishea her phenomenal career. This motion picture treat should not be missed, for today is the last day in which the Fox patrons will have the opportunity of seeing it, and it will long stick in your memory for the story is one that wil just do that. Besides this great and world's best production four other single reels will augment the two hour program which include *“The Man of Her Cholce,” a powerful drama of the deep seas, “‘Vivian’s First Fellow,” a hilariously funny comedy feature, and ‘At the Foot of the Stairs,” a domes- tic comedy drama featuring these two popular screen stars, Bob Leonard and Ella Hall. S For tomorrow and Monday, one of the first muiltiple reel war subjects prepared for motion picture presenta- tion, “Sealed Orders,” will be shown. The six reels are of genuine human interest, and the feature has been pronounced by the pross to be the greatest masterpiece ever filmed. ‘“Sealed Orders” deals with the stir- ring events of a very few days in a land resting under the shadow of the impending ‘war. Grand Admiral Koester, the famous hero of the Ger- man navy is featured, and the great naval battle is one of the many thrilling and exciting scenes which the six reels are chock. full of. All those interested in the outcome of the gigantic struggle now in pro- gress between many European powers will do well to see this great and powerful war drama.

Household Notes 1‘ S—— Never cook vegetables in an iron kettle, Sugar tends to improve the texture of cakes, 2 | my grown-up antagonist would answer, White Crows and Good Arguers By RUTH CAMERON. 1 The other day I overheard a woman correcting her children. “Don't argue,” she sald, “It's vulgar and disagreeable.” The children had been discussing some point with a loudness of tone and an irritability of manner that was vulgar and disagreeable, but that | did not make the act of arguing wrong in itself. On the contrary, to are gue is healthy for the mind. It is tothe mental powers what exercise is t o the physical. And yet I find this prejudice against arguing is very common. Why is it? Perhaps because so_few people can argue without gete ting noisy and excited. [ Indeed a man or woman who can argue sanely, courteously, and intelligently is one of the greatest rarities in the world. A sneer is not an argument. Yet how many people use it uch, and think because their antagonist naturally winces before this poisoned thrust they have scored a point. I overheard two people arguingithe other day in regard to afault of which one was supposed to be guilty. The one who was criticised accused his critic of having done the same thing. The critic fairly and squarely freed himself from the charge, whereupon his an- tagonist, foiled of any fair argument, came back with, “Yes, I kLunow you’re perfect. L It hurt. Such things always hurt; the critic blushed and became con- fused and his antagonist looked triumphant. Yet far from justifying himself he had proved himself to my mind a coward, for it is only a coward that is ready to snatch at any weapon rather than stand up and acknowledge a defeat, who will use a sneer for an argument. b Another favorite method is to try to prove that a thing 18 80 by prov. ing that the opposite is not 50, When I was a child I would sometimes say of some alleged misdoing. “That didn’t do any harm.” Whereupon | “It didn’t do any good, did it?” Although I then lacked the ability to fully understand how this answer failed of being logic, and the presence of mind to retort “That doesn't prove anything,” I always had a burning sense of injustice when I Wwas put down in that way. That species of argument is always a favorite with people who lack better weapons, especially with quick tempered males. If you do not want a pair of masculine boots in the middle of the living room floor and the male in question has no real reason why they shoyld be there to offer, he can always retort, “Very well, take them out and throw them in the ash barrel.” Perhaps the most trying to me of all arguers are those who argus without conviction. 1 feel toward them the indignation that Mrs. Brattls | feels toward the whist players who play without caring whether they win or lose. When I hear a man argue one thing today and another thing tomorrow just because he finds an antagonist ready to take the opposite side, I never fail to show him up to his antagonist. A man or woman who will argue only according to his honest vietion, who can stick to the point, who scorns to use unfair argus who can argue without l1osing his témper or courtesy and without sl and who is willing to be convinced, is rarer than a white crow, But it is a good ideal to work fgr, ' Daily Fashion Talks BY MAY; MANTON quietly If a cake cracks open while bak- ; ing, there is too much flour in it. Soaking in cold water makes the washing of all garments much easier. The quickest method of warming cold plates in winter is to dip them in hot water: Baking soda will sweeten milk ves- sels, clean brasses and is good for dish washing. When the nails are brittle, apply vaseline, or hold them in warm sweet oil every day. When a vegetable has lost its firm- ness, soak it in very cold water until it is crisp and plump. If boiling milk is poured on the beaten eggs when making baked cus- tard, it will bake them firm. A good test in choosing beef is to press it with the thumb; if it rises quickly, it is of good quality. The flavor ‘of peas will be much improved if a dozen pea pods are washed and cooked with them. In making a plain omelet, it is bet- ter tp add hot water than milk, as it makes it much more tender. In the sick room, it is much more pleasant for the patient if the medi- cine bottles are kept out of sight. Try frying fish in fat that has been saved from former frying: the flavor will be very much improved. When cutting fur, never use scis- sors; use a razor or very sharp pen- knife to cut through the skin at the back. Put raisins and other small fruits in a corn popper when you want to wash them, Put them in it under the faucet, Boiled or roasted meat that is to be cut cold should be wrapped in u clean, moist cloth, It will be more tender. . 1t a very light cake is put into a quick oven, it will rise rapidly round the sides, but leave a hollow in the middle. In order to insure lightness in a enke, it should be put into the oven as eoon as the baking powder or other rieing medium has been added. All linen should be hung straight to dry, and all pieces will wear better if a third or half of the napkin or tablecloth is hung over the line.
