Your Child's Health
And Care
Sy 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
are going to wash her elbow and
make it better. Wash the e1=
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-
dler is interested in what you
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 Jiinior 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 ori the speedy side. No
youngster eats well in hubbub,
nor can you expect him to sit
quietly through a dinner of sev-
eral courses.
Most restaurants provide a
high chair, and some provide
bibs. Howe'der, 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:'J.iinior's dinner, try
to get food as much like the food
he eats at home as possible.
Get your toddler comfortably
seated as soon as you can, if you.
can get a booth, he can stand ax,
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
ince you, will most'.likely have
to help feed him. In this case,
don't let him wander about but
produce the toy you brought to
help fill in this time:

Because eggs are plentiful in
the spring, now is a good time o
learn more about this type
cookery and to remind yourself
that it is economical to increase
the use of eggs on the daily .
menu.
It is well to remove eggs from
the refrigerator about Sri to a/4
of an hour before using them.
When eggs are used to thicken

When eggs are used to leaven,

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 lull' 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 chrysarithexnums--more
• varieties than those of any other
flower.... While we were slow -
1y' ; 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 bowers 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'astended the throne by driv-
ing out 'the Tartars.

After birds, Grandfather's
greatest passion was chrysanthe-
mums. He never failed to get
new specimens each autumn.
Once, after one of our morning
walks with the birds, he suggest-
ed taking ire to the famous gard-
en of the Li family, situated at
theY.o:ssu gate in the city wall
of 1(iukiang. It was notfar froxn
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 itsstructure 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 culture. After a
few see ties my attentioxl was
