Your Child's Health And Care By STELLA McKAY FIRST AID WITHOUT TEARS: Whenever you treat a skinned knee or any slight in- jury, it's usually the sight of the treatment or the thought of the "stingy stuff" that frightens a youngster, not the slight injury. Whenever your child comes to you with a scraped elbow, try to be calm. Tell her in a confi- dent but kindly tone that you ere going to wash her elbow and make it better. Wash the el- bow gently using soft, sterile cotton and pat dry. Then ex- plain that, "now it's clean I am going to paint a cat on it" and start painting the antiseptic on the uncut skin. When your tod- dier is interested in whatyou are doing to paint over the in- jury, the 'fright" is gone and the sting is scarcely noticed. If the antiseptic is colored she'll boast about her "picture" to her friends, and even if it is color- less she will watch you pretend to paint a picture. Ask your doc- tor about non -stinging antisep- tics. EATING OUT WITH JUNIOR: Eating out with Junior or Juniorette needn't be a problem. In fact, with a little forethought, meals away from home even with a toddler, can be a family delight. Try to choose a place that is fairly quiet and the ser- vice on the speedy side• No youngster eats well in hubbub, nor can you expect him to sit quietly through a dinner ni sev- eral courses. Most restaurants provide a high chair, and some provide bibs. However, your child is more apt to eat as usual, if you take along his own familiar bib spoon, cup and even his own plate. It's wise, too, to take his own "canned" dinner and have it warmed for you. This will prevent stomach upset. If you'd rather order Junior's dinner, try to get food as much like the food he eats at home as possible; Get your toddler comb rtablt seated as soon as you can, if you can get a booth, he can stand on the bench and look around or he can walk around the table. If he gets restless while waiting for his food, take him on a little tour. He'll like this. Most people smile at a small child, but it is better not to encourage Junior to get too friendly. Too much attention tends to cause even a toddler -size child to show off or it may embarass him and you. Junior may have to wait for you since you will most likely have to help feed him. In this case, don't let him wander about but produce the toy you hrought to help fill in this time. JEALOUS OF N E W BABY: Mrs. W.

"What can I do to help Wendy like her sister?" The green-eyed dragon, jeal- ousy, is slaking Wendy's life pretty miserable. So if I were you I'd decide to let the house- work slide. until you get Wendy happy again. Take time to first do something with big sister, such as having a little snack to- gether before feeding Jamey. Tell Wendy a story or sit her on your knee and cuddle her and help her get dressed. After all she has to be "eased out" of first - child attention gradually. When Wendy ;s dressed say: "It's little sister's turn for attention now." And ask Wendy to be your little helper. This way you'll get Wendy working with you, not against you. She'll soon get interested in her new sister and be saying: "My baby," If you and your husband give Wendy first place for a while until she knows you have enough love for both children, it will keep her happier, (baby Janey won't mind), and you'll be hap- pier, too, Mrs. R.

Chrysanthemums In China Atter birds, Grandfather's greatest passion was chrysanthe- mums, He never tailed to get new specimens each autumn. Once, after one of our morning walks with the birds, he suggest- ed taking me to the famous gard- e,) of the 11 family, situated at the Yo-ssu gate in the city wall of Kiukiang, It was not far from the wood. As the blue autumn sky was high and cloudless and it was early for us to go home, Grandfather thought he might look for some new specimens of chrysanthemums, as it was the season of blooming. The garden had long been famous for the beauty of its structure and the skill with which it was planted. When we arrived I found that the head gardener knew \my Grandfather, Leading us to a painted bower he served tea and entered into a discussion with Grandfather on the details of chrysanthemum Miura. After a few minutes my attention was caught by a tall wooden stand bearing different kinds of chrys- anthemums in pots, arranged in tiers to form a kind of 'hill' of flowers. The arrangement is ac- tually called 'chrysanthemum flower hill' - Chu'u-hua-shan. Presently the head gardener con- ducted us round the garden, showing us flowers of every shape and colour. Grandfather told me that there were about sixty vari- eties of chrysanthemums -more varieties than those of any other flower.... While we were slow- ly promenading the garden Grandfather made, as usual, some reference to the first Ming em- peror. He mentioned that this emperor had written a poem on the chrysanthemum, and that it • ran as follows: While a hundred flowers blossom, I do not. If I burst into bloom, they. are afraid to show themselves. Tussling with the west wind all night before the doorstep, The great mass of chrysanthe- mums waves its golden ar- mour. Grandfather went on to explain how the poem conveyed the he- roic nature of the emperor; for the chrysanthemum has always been admired .by our poets and scholars for the way in which it blooms in spite of frost and sharp weather, as no other' flower does. The first Ming emperor was by birth a beggar and an illiterate; he ascended the throne by driv- ing out the Tartars, Before leaving the garden of the Li family, Grandfather order- ed the gardener to send a few pots of chrysanthemums to our house. IHow well I remember what care he took of them and of his other chrysanthemums, watering them himself and ten- derly, pruning them! It may sound a waste of time, but surely it was a pleasant way for an old man to pass his time? -Prom "A Chinese Childhood," by Chiang Yee.

Tupper Bigelow, of Toronto, tells the tale of a young doctor who hung 'up his shingle in a small town and waited for his first patient. Some days later one arrived - covered from head to foot with an angry, dangerous - looking rash. The puzzled young medico hastily consulted his text books but could find no help there. Finally he said to the patient, "Did you ever have this affliction before?" "Oh, sure, Doe," the patient replied. "I've had it twice before." "Well dam- nation," diagnosed the 'loctor.
