HomeMy WebLinkAboutZurich Herald, 1920-04-15, Page 2Baby Loves Them All.
Instincts, we are told, if thwarted
at they first appearance, many times
die a suddea, death. A baby deprived
of crusts and crackers at the period
when the desire comes to chew and
fed strietly a milk diet long after
solid foods should have been intro-
duced, is almost certain to have the
instinct to cbew all Jetit killed in him,
and aroused again only after Icing,
patient coaxing and training.
The same is true with the child's
instinct to love. Love for parents
•eenel brothers and sisters is taken as
a. matter of course. They love the
child and the child loves them. But
a child's love is not bestowed wholly
on humans: he has an instinctive de-
sire to love all animals. And it is
this love instinct which Many parents
fail to fostet,
eAn unwise mother can change his
baby love to fear and hate. "Bad old
cat! Get out of here!"—these words
supplemented with a kick or -cuffing,
will "-amuse the baby, when kitty
scratches but they will never induce
love and kindness in him.
Later, when the child has fully
andersteod about hurting things, he
will begin to lavish his love on every-
thing. His tender heart se -ill be touch-
ed at sight of anything being killed.
Yet there are certain "deaths" -which
must occur. Eneleavor, however, to
get the child to understand fully why
a fly is dangerous to have around
before you swat it. Show, him the
rose petals sadly eaten by the fat
green warm before you pick it e
and crush it.
If his love turns toward toads and
snakes and ants, do not discourage it.
The farmer has no better friend than
the toads and common snakes. Yet
there are many, many grown-up men
who still insist upon driving the toad
and snake from the gardens. And no
one can deny that even a child can
learn lessens of value front the busy
ente. I have seen my own little lad
of live stretched fiht on his stomach,
resting on his elbows, with chin cup-
' Red in halals, watching an ant -hill
for half an hour or so. Eventually
he would come running to me, able to
' tell how the "nice little ants" threw
up the dirt to make their houses, how
' they carried a dead fly into their
house and innumerable etherfactsI
myself had never noted. Baby's dawn-
ing love for all things is at first -in
the hands of those. who have him in
!charge.

Gossip.
The sewing machine would run
busily for several moments, and then
the seametrese, her hands full of
*basting and pins in her mouth, would
turn to mother with another bit of
gossip. "Jennie Dodson said that—"
"I heard that Sarah Brown—." "Did
you know that John Humphries had
overdrawn his account -et the •hank?"
"Have you heard about Elden, that
youngest daughter of Bess Aldrich
and the: young man from—? No—
Well, I hearrl that he--!"
Mother had tried to stop her—tried
to interrupt with the sewing machine,
but the seamstress had talked on and
at the end of the day there was a
chaos of gossip hits in the older wo-I
Iran's mind that it was hard to drive,
out. Every now and then she found
.herstelf wondering, as she recalled cer-
tain statements and when the family
mentioned names at dinner, she was
eioubting people who had lived as her!
ataghbors for yeare—doubting old1
ifriereis—woeelering if this and that
;which she had heard was true. !
In the .eveeing the eeamstreee came:
agtdn to finish up a party dress for
atlareia and sat in the sewing room 1
math mother awl grandmother and
the two girls, Later a neighbor frorn!
acmes the way came in and there was!
mall talk of varying nature, and be -
ore they knew it the seamstress was
again telling things about friends of
them all—people for whom she sewed!
a -little intimate things which were'
laot meant to be cast breeds:de for
ery one to know. The neighbor sat
uietly listening, glancing up now and
hen from the hem she was carefully
easting and when the girl had stopped
alking she asked quietly, "Does Mee,
amen wish you to tell this?" The
eazastress looked- up quickly, as did
be others in the room, and answered
ellantly, "Well, she didn't tell me not
ilo telli"
' "And so you tell things you hear in
-
pada/ice unless you are warned not
4to re ?eat them ?" the neighbor asked
ovenly, but the girl did not reply, im-
ariatdietely starting the sewing me-
talline very fag, But when she had
lfinieltad the seam the naighbor again
look ell) the subject.
"If you put money in a bank, you
itwoulthe't with that bank to cry out
ileS eery one who cattle in, `Aunie
-.......ea"
Jones just drew out all she has,'
would yoa?" S
"They wouldn't darer the seam-
stress cried out and hung her head
when the neighbor replied, "Why not?
You didn't tell them not to tell, did
, you?"
"We're like banks ourselv,es," the
kind voice explained. "We should be
safe-deposit boxes for all that we
hear, take great are who gets a peek
in or knows just what lies stored
away. If our friends so honor. us as
to give us their precious confidence
to keep we should guard them most
carefully and see that none of them
are carelessly left where others can
steal them. None should take them
out but those who put them there!"
The figures were plain enough for any
one to understand and the seamstress
was surprised at the revelation, for
she was really not intentionally mean,
just thoughtless.
"I always feel," g-randma said
quietly, "when people being gossip to
me, that they take away something
to the next person; I sort of feel
dubious about them. There is an old
saying that rings true—'Those who
bring a tale will carry one.' "
"No finer compliment can be given
us than for some one to confide in
us," Marcia said, really feeling sorry
for the girl and wishing to get into
pleasanter channels. "When we think
about it, there are very few to whom
we feel safe in going to tell those
little intimate things so close to our
heart."
"Well, 1 knciev of a woman to whom
I never hesitate going, a woman who
has for years been the eonfidanteof
hundreds of people, and she has never
been known to break that 'confidence,"
mother said mysteriously, as she ex-
amined the ruffling which had just
been finished.
"Really, I didn't mean any harm,"
' the seamstress said, with tears in her
voice. "Everybody talks."
"But after the harm is done it .ean't
be undone, y.91.1. see," Anne added. "So
let's not do the harm."
"Well, we Iearn to keep our mouth
shut down at the office," Marcia said
inelegantly. "'a we blab about busi-
ness we soon get a blue envelope, and
we certainly ought to be as careful
of the sayings of our friends as of
our employer." •

A Linoleum Protector.
Linoleum should be protected v'ith
rug e and runners to prevent wearing.
Matting rugs are light and wear out
quickly, while al] other kinds of rugs
get dirty and faded with constant use.
We have found .cocoa matting most
satisfactory for such purpose .in our
'kitchen. It does not fade, nor fray
or break when used on an uneven
surface, and it is so poredthat dust
goes through it and does not ac-
cumulate.'
Garden Furniture Made
From Concrete.
Few people realize that anything of
a real artistic nature can be made
frcm cenerete, which material is
generally looked upon as suited only
to foundatious, piers and re-enforce1
building construction. The truth is
however, that :some of the most beauti-
ful garden fuiniture is made front con.
trete.
ley means of improved processes in
molding and during cast cement ware,
the texture anti color obtained are
stud] that the 'tetanal observer cannot
ttAl the work from carved limestone.
Even old stonecutters are sometimes
misled by the perfect appearance of
this artificial stono. Among the artic-
les manufactured are tree pots, urns,
flower and shrubbery boxes, sun dials,
fountains, -birdbaths, Japanese Ian -
tents and gate -posts.
Artificial stone manufacturers have
virtually discarded the original cast-
ing methitde. by which a cement mix-
ture was poured into a mold in a.
semi -fluid state, with the result that.
the finished product took on a very
smooth fled extremely hard surface,
which finish was considered objection-
able because of its lifeless appearance
and because the surface was likely ,to
creek under severe climatic changes.
In the ituproved processa cement
mixture which ee is barely nuoist Is
forced and tamped into every detail
of the meld. As soon as this casting
has set it is submerged ib water for
five or six days, or until the concrete
has cured and hardened, with a crisp
and natural appearance. It is then
inmervialseto climatic changes, and
will last indefinitely. e

• Artificial Silk Making.
The silk -spinning caterpillar is an
industrious creature, but .it cannot
keep up with the steadily increasing
demand for the precious fibre it pro-
duces. Hence there is always a good
market for the artificial .article,
If your silk stockings "nielOaa you
may know that they are not woven of
the real stuff. Artificial silk will not
endure contact with moisture; and it
has the additional disadvantage of be-
ing highly combustible.
However, a new process has been
developed whereby the same raw ma-
terial (wood cellulose) is converted
'into an imitation silk which, when
woven into cloth, has remarkable bril-
liancy and durability, with a "feel"
like that of real silk. It is waterproof
and no more inffammable that natural
The new -process silk can be drawn
into much finer threads than those of
ordinary artificial sllk. and is said to
be particularly remarkable for the
quality of the velvets made front it,

preserved, thereby t'ontributing to
durability and strength.

Secret Ink From Black
Socks.
Ono of the most difficult problems
that was set by the Germans for our
eounter-teepionage .sewvic.e was pro-
vided by au invisible ink used by the
ostensible American journalist, George
VaUX Bacon, who was sentenced to
death, butifterwards reprieved, and
returned to America, where he gave
evidence against some of the most
important enemy agents there, says tut
English writer,
It was easily the best Mk for wait-
ing invislbly which came our way dur-
ing the war; very.exhatative experld
ments had to bo carried out before
we could discover the developer. And.
even, when that bad been done, the
writing when revealed faded so quick-
ly that it was impossible to make the
hidden message pernment. However,
being"of a persevering. turn of mind,
ve eventually found something which
wottld fix the ink once it was shown
up, and thereby drove another nail in
the coffin of the fest-decaying enemy
spy organization,
This ink was, not carried about by
the spy in a bottle or any other re-
cognizable form. Flacon, is a con-
feesion, told how he received it, from
a certain "Davis," the German agent
in America, by whom lee was sent
here.
"Have you got a pair of black wool-
len -socks?" Davis asked.
Bacon stared in astonishment.
"Good gracious:, no," was his reply,
"I have plenty of fancy socks, but
nothing in plain black."
"Well, go and buy a pair at once."
Bacon duly went downstairs, tend in
a shop close by purchased e, pair cf
socks for a dollar, When he returned
Deeds produced a collapsible tube,
similar to that used for holding tooth
paste. "Give me your socks," he said.
Bacon handed them over, and with
wondering eyes watched Davis sqtfeeze
out of the attic( a thick brown liquid.
This he 8nleared all round .the,4opseof
the sock,
"There," he said, gloatingly, "that
is a secret ink which the English will
never discorer. 'When you write a
letter to Holland with your reports,
soak the top of these socks in water
and use the fluid as ink. You -will
need to use a ball -pointed pen and a
heed, rough paper, so that the ink will
not run. We will give yon these be-
fore you leave. Wheitever you write
a report you must mark it. `M.,' so

Anaemia.
Anaemia, which means lack of
blood, may be produced either by it
deficiency in the quantity •of the blood
or by its poor quality, and it may be
either primary or secondary. For
example, a person in good health may
encounter some sudden accident that
results in great loss of blood, and far
that reason may suffer from the type
that
as secondary anaemia. All
these persons who suffer from
hemorrhages, whatever the underly-
ing cause, are likely to be limemic,
simply because they are losing blood
faster than they can make it up. All
sufferers from. disease anywhere be
the body that produces septic condi-
tions are generally anaemic, because
the quality of the blood is constantly
vitiated by the slow poisoning that
is continually going on.
This state of poisoning may be pro -
dined not only by such grave disord-
ers as Bright's disease, or by the
abscesses of hip -joint disease or ether
tuberculous states, but also by the
abscesses that form at the roots of
teeth and sometimes go 'unrecognized
for months and years, by infected -
tonsils, and by sinus trouble, which..
follows a severe cold or an attack ' of
influenza.
Sometimes a person who has had
an attack of grippe from which he
considers himself to have recovered
remains unduly palliti !. and suffers
constantly with a discharge from the
-hose. In such a case, especially if at
is complicated by headaches, sinus
trouble should be suepeeted and track-
ed down. It is a waste of time in
such a case to treat the aceornp,anying
anaemia with iron tonics, or anything
else, until the focus of poison has been
cleaned up.
Bids the reasons for anaemia
given above, all disorders thet
niter -
fere with the proper nutrition of the
body will bring about an anaemic
