For Neuritis
If neuritis bothers you, deal with
it as this woman dealt with hers: --
"For years I was unable to knit,"
she writes, "owing to neuritis in mY
hands. Last year I started taking
Kruschen, and now I can keep up
with anyone. Already this year I
have knitted about 12 pieces in all,
including men's sweaters and ladies'
fancy pull -overs, as well as several
babies' articles, Naturally, I feel
quite proud, and I owe it all to Kruse
chen. I have not felt in better health
for years and will keep on taking
Kruschen as long as T live."—(Mrs.)
A. S.
Neuritis is caused by deposits of
needle -pointed, flint -hard uric acid
crystals, which pierce the nerves and
cause those stabbing pains. Kruschen
Salts break up these deposits of tor-
turing crystals and convert them into

Sick Persons Need
Tempting Foods
Small, Dainty Portions More
Appetizing to Invalids
When there is a'chronic invalid in
the home, or a person convalescing:
from a serious illness, recipes for the
preparation of light but nourishing
food are a great help. The doctor in
attendance usually orders the foods
to be served , but it is up to the home
maker to see that she has the recipes
for the designated dishes.
Serve small, dainty portions of food
and a limited variety at any one meal
An abundance of food, often nausea-
tes a sick person and makes him turn
away from all food.
There are many aceesories in the
stores for the invalid's tray, which
make serving simple. It these can-
not be purchased, try to- plan some
little surprise for each meal. For a
convalescent child a toy hidden under
the napkin; a treasured dish, a pie-
ture, anything light and easily hand-
led is appealing.
BEVERAGES
The secret of making beverages for
the sick is to use a sugar syrup
instead of plain sugar to sweeten'
them, if the beverages are supposed
to be sweetened. To make this syrup
cook together for 10 minutes, 3-4 cup
each of water and granulated sugar.
Cool and bottle for future use, keep-
ing it in refrigerator. Use just enough
of this syrup to sweeten the desired
fruit beverage, straining the fruit
juice before serving.
ORANGE ALBUMEN
1 egg white stirred with fork, 1-3
cup strained orange juice, sugar
syrup to sweeten.
Stir egg white. with fork long
enough to break up the Lumps of al-
bumen and to mix' it, but not until
it turns white. Add to this gradu-
ally the strained orange juice.
Sweeten to taste with sugar syrup
and add a little cold water to fill
the glass.
LEMON MILKADE
lit cup ice water, sugar syrup to
sweeten, 2 tablespoons lemon juice,
1/ cup chilled evaporated milk.
Combine water, sugar syrup and
`lemon juice; pone into the milk, stir
with fork until thoroughly mixed,
Serve immediately.
PINEAPPLE LEMONADE
% cup cold' water, 2 tablespoons
canned or cooked pineapple "juice, ,3
tablespoons rentor: juice, sugar Syrup'
to sweeten: . -
Strain fruit juices into glass; add
water and sugar syrup to sweeten.
Use very cold water, or ice cubes if
the condition of the patient permits
It.
GRAPE JUICE ADE
1/2 cup chilled grape juice, 2 tea-
spoons lemon juice.
Strain grape juice and lemon juice
through a piece of cheesecloth into a
glass. Add a little cold water if de-
sired. Garnish with a very thin slice
lemon on top of the juice, or with a
;prig of fresh mint if available.

Trial Flight From Rochester
Airdrome is Success
"Scylla.," the largest landplane
airliner in the world, has made her
first flight from Rochester airdrome.
With full Ioad on board, the "Scyl-
la" weighs 32,000 pounds—more than
14 tons. She measures 8614 feet from
the nose of the fuselage to the ex-
treme tip of the rudder, and 311/2
feet in height, Her main planes cover
2.615 square feet; tail plane and
elevators measure 334 square feet,
which is more than the total wing
area of many small aircraft,
Accommodation is provided in two
cabins for 39 passengers and a crew
of four, of whom ten sit in the for-
ward cabin, which is designed for use
as a smoking room, and 29 in the aft
saloon, which is the roomiest com-
partment yet built in any landplane,
measuring approximately 22 feet in
length and 11 feet in breadth.
. Because of its size the airplane was
erected in the open. Fuselage, wings,

Concerning Sleep

The efficiency of most people is

sociate Professor of Physiology in the
University of Chicago, recently told
the American College of Physician

works on a cycle unrelated to day o
night. The infant gradually substi
tutes the activity of the corte

cycle, learning to sleep and to b
awake in longer periods.
Bodily temperature is highest i

Muscle tension is necessary fo

the body temperature may be lower-
ed by one or one and one-half de-

In the first half of the night the
temperature falls, and in the second
half of the. sleep period it rises.
Movements in sleep increase in num-
ber during the latter part of the per-
iod. •

twelve -graduate students who moved
an average of from three to five min-
utes during an eight-hour sleep in a
total of 200 nights. Temperature and
number of movements vary with the
seasons, both decreasing in the late
Autumn and Winter.
Heavy doses of alcohol before go-
ing to 'sleep produced a marked fall
in temperature during the first
sleep. There was a total lack of
movement for the first hour or so.
Later the temperature Lose above
normal, as did the number of move-
ments. The caffein in three or four
cups of coffee produced in the sleep-

occasioned considerably more rest-

up to a tolerable point. There is no
uniformity between various individ-

of temperature and efficiency. Some
of the subjects tested showed great-
er perfection in their tasks at 11
o'clock at night. after a long day,
than they did whenwhenthey got up the
next morning.

Frozen Desserts
A Popular Dish
The widespread interest in Cana-
dian homes particularly Canadian
farm homes, with reference to
home-made frozen desserts is respon-
sible for a reprint of a bulletin on the
subject issued by the Dominion De-
partment of Agriculture. It is pos-
sible to make frozen desserts with
the ordinary 'utensils to be found. in
any Canadian kitchen, and with this
fact in view numerous recipes are
given for ice creams ices such as wa-

Conflict Between Home and School
Problems
Contact Between Parent and Teacher Might Aid Child
There is a certain hiatus between
home and school that sets the child's
mind against this latter.
It comes about this way. In his
home there is obedience, but it is
unqualified obedience.
At home his temperament is under-
stood and he receives toleration ac-
cording to circumstances. Little for-
ays into mischief are understood and
forgiven.
Lapses from responsibility are not
taken too seriously as a rule and
"absolute" obedience is not expected.
In school he must fit to a system,
somewhat military in its way. This
must be so, in spite of all attempts
to perfect the "experimental" or
"progressive" public school plan.
CONFORMING TO SYSTEM
The hundreds of pupils to be hand-
led in a building will always have to
conform to some "set" system. Chan-
ges are being made and none too
soon to revamp therigid exactness: of
the old system, but we doubt if it
will ever reach the point where each
child may be dealt with as an abso-
lute individual.
Nor should it be necessary. We
believe that mass grouping and cer-
tain demands made on the child have
their good points. The majority of
normal children not only accept the
situation, but do pretty well under
it. School can never be a party. It
is intended to put stern stuff in chil-
dren, and too much individualism is
bad for the best of us.
However, there is something wrong
when the attitude of children toward
school is unfriendly. They accept
it, but it is with a sort of endurance
that makes the best of a bad. job. It
coud be different, and it will be,
when the rapidly ' changing system
gets to a point where the desire to
learn is intrenched in the child's
heart through his aroused interest.
This 'will affect grading and placing.
It will also affect the subjects stud-
ied.
A "SHUTTLE" THAT FAILS
We must get it out of our heads,
however, that the perfect school will

The home on one side, the school on
the other, and the child in the middle,
a shuttle that fails ,daily to weave
them together. He goes home and
is, we'll say, over -indulged. He feels
that his parents have no real concep-
tion of his seven hours a day away
from them or the trouble he faces.
It creates a "pull" away from the
school, and there are "pulls" enough
without that.
ENCOURAGING FRIENDSHIP ..
There should be a contact point.
Parent -Teachers meetings don't do it,
although they are useful, of course.
The trouble is that the child himself
is seldom present to get the feeling
of friendship between instructor and
parent. In elementary schools there
should be a plan that does not inter-
fere with the teachers's work — as
daily visits do — such as an open
day once a month. No program
should keep the children under a
strain at the time as is too often the
case.
When the parent projects person=
ality and interest into the school
building by association of ideas and
a feeling that his school world is
discovered, the child will overcome
his feeling of segregation. He will
feel that he fits. He moves his
"family feeling" to school because
they have "contacted" it.
There might be 'another way, but
it would have to be somewhat after
this plan. •It would be a wonderful
help to the "prejudiced" child in par-
ticular.
