A Column Pi.gpared Especially for Women -
But Not Forbidden to Men
A HEAL.TIi ALPHABET
JUr well• your beds; shake each
blanket and sheet, ' r
'Better go barefoot, than go with
vet feet,
Chow yetis food slowly, if well you'd
be fed,
Don't drink strong tea, when
you're going to bed.
Eat when you're hungry, and choose
whae ie good,
Prints of the earth 'are the very
best food.
'Give yourself time -for your meals
and your sleep,
Have open windows if heatlhy
you'd keep.
Inside the house should be fresh as
without,
Just use your nose; evlien you're
going about.
Beep every corner as clean as your
face,
Let nothing dirty remain in the
place.
Make solid comfort, your aim in
the home,
Nothing not useful inside it should
come.
Old rags and rubbish should never
be kept,
Plain floors or oilcloth are easily
swept.
Quickness is good if no detail you
shirk,
Rise in good time and do double
the work,
See that your cistern is always kept
clean,
Take special care - of the corners
not seen.
The lots of water and soap without
stint,
Vain's my advice if you don't take
the hint.
Walk every day in the sweet open
air,
'smelly as if you had never a care.
` You hold in your own hands, your
welfare and health,
Zealously guard them -, they're
better than wealth.
The above homely rhyme was read
at a meeting of the Women's In-
stitute of St. Marys recently and it
has such a lot of real good sense
packed into its Iilting lines that it
looked to me to be north repeating.
This is Health Week' and while I'm
not very much in favour of those
many "weeks" which we are supposed
to observe, if anything will tall the
attention to need for care of this
most precious of possessions, good
health, it is well worth trying,"
The rules of health are so simple
that it is a wonder we should not
all be glad to observe them and keep
stealthy. Fresh air, plain wholesotne
food, regularity of rest and refresh-
ment, proper shelter and protection
for the body. These are about all
that are necessary in order to keen
the body in health. And it iseworth
an effort to observe them and see
how it works out.
The following instructions on the
care of children's teeth are taken
from a little pamphlet prepared for
the use of Parent-Teacher Associa-
tions by the American Dental As-
sociation:
The Care of Children's Teeth
AlI mothers and fathers want their
ehildren to be happy and are always
ready to make all sorts of sacrifices
for them, Particularly is this in-
stinctive feeling expressed toward
babies and Iittle children, who in
, their helplessness must depend upon
their parents for all their needs.
In cases of sickness, when a child
is suffering from high fever or some
other malady, does mat the mother
wish that she .could change places
with the little sufferer? And yet
there are many instances .in which
the . little one is suffering only
through his mother's own careless-
.- hest and neglect, •
This neglect is particularly notice-
able in the care of children's tenth.
Few mothers know anything at ail
about what is taking place in the
mouths of their children, and yet
from the very birth of the child to
about 14 or 15 years, there is con-
stant growing, eruption, absorption,
shedding and replacement of teeth.
Time and again the dentist is
greeted with the self reproaching ex- t
pression from the mother; "Why, i
'Doctor, I thought that was only a
baby tooth, and it would fall out any-
way." Now, where did mothers. get
the idea that baby teeth can be neg-
lected, <because some day they will
fall otit? Surely, not from an auth-
oritative souce. It is a very 'sena s
tnietake, and the sooner mothers wi 1
realize the gravity of this mistake,
the better it will be for children and
parents.
Nature has given the child twenty
teeth; ten'on the supper jaw, and ten
on the lower jaw. Nature has ar
ranged these precious pearls in a
clertain Way' for _a certain purpose.
Nature ,wants can oneof these little
I pearls to stay in the childts mouth a
, certain Length of time, and to per-
form a certain function. The mothei
its expected to watch over•those Me -
portant little organs at least as much
as she does over the hair and finger
!nails of the child.
Tho functions of the teeth are:, (1)
.to chew food; (2) to assist in the ar-
,ticulation of speech; (3) to assist in
tthe facial develpement and expres-
sion, and (4) in the case of tempor-
ary or baby teeth to serve as path-
finders and to preserve space in the
I jaw for the succeeding permanent
teeth,
i The premature loss of temporary
teeth causes the permanent teeth,
I which are supposed to• take their
place in the mouth, to grow erooked.
The gravest mistake that most
parents make in regard to the care of
their children's teeth is the ttegleet
of the first permanent molar, or the
six year molar, as it is often called.
This tooth erupts in the mouth when
the child. is 6 years old, and is intend-
ed by Nature to remain in the mouth
' permanently. Its roots do mot become
absorbed, and does not fall out to
make room for a succeeding tooth, as
till the twenty temporary teeth
do.
There are four of these six year
molars,' one at each of the farthest
ends of each jaw. By interlocking
with ono another these four molars
form the foundation for the whole
facial structure and serve as a guide
and gage to the proper anatomic re-
lationship of all permanent teeth yet
to be erupted.
The premature loss of one six year
molar works chaos in the anatomy of
the human mouth. Its damage is
often beyond repair. Yet, of all the
permanent teeth, this one tooth is
the biggest sufferer front neglect,
and all because of the erroneous and
almost criminal idea that baby, or
temporary, teeth do not need atten-
tion,
The six year molar erupting, as et
does, at an early age is almost al-
ways mistaken by mothers for a tem-
porary tooth, and is generally left to
suffer the unenviable lot of tempor-
ary teeth --decay, infection and ex-
traction•
Mothers should not wait until the
ehild complains of toothache. They
should cultivate the habit of bring-
ing their 'children to 'the dentist at
least once every six months, regard-
less of whether there is toothache or
not. This they must start as soon as
there are teeth in the mouth, begin-
ning at as early an age as six
months,
Children with good teeth make
mueli better grades at school than
children with bad teeth. No child
can concentrate on his work 'when
there is an aching tooth to contend
With, so why expect it of a ehild?
Backward children are a source of
much worry to their parents and
teachers, and their schooling is cost-
lier to the taxpayer than the school-
ing of normal children.
,Children 'should be taught to use
the toothbrush before retiring and in
the morning. The brush should be
used parallel with the teeth, start -
leg on the gam, going upward on
the lower jaw, and downward on the
upper jaw sixteen times. The sur-
faces;,af the teeth, which face the
tongue must be brushed as much as
the surfaces facing the cheeks and
lips, and the `grinding surfaces of the
back teeth must also be brushed, The
brush should be kept dry and.clean,
and before it used it should' be
thoroughly washed in boiling water.
Every member of the family slimed
have an individual brush, Children
should be taught to take pride in
their teeth. •
The teeth can be made stronger by
using certain fonds and by avoiding
the use of others, Foods such es ap-
ples, - oranges, grapefruit, spinach,
cabbage, garrets, green peas, brae
bread, milk and eggs are good for
he teeth. They contain certain chem-
cal salts that go into the make-up
of the tooth material (dentine and,
enamel). Excessive use of sugar,
candy and soft and rich pastries is.
detrimental to the teeth. It is poor
practice to follow' up a hot meal with
a dish of ice cream. This checks the

HOLD "SUGGESTIONS
Straightened Cords
Keep the cords on all your elec-
trical appliances straight and un-
twisted. They are not realy cords,
you know, but two bundles of wires
and it will waken thein and cause
then to wear oat when twisted con-
tinuously.
Those Fatal Drops
Should you spill some drops of
water an your hardwood floors while
watering the plants, rub them with
a cloth dipped in turpentine, -using a
circular notion when rubbing. Dry
with a piece of clean flannel and
your floor will be quite restored.
•
That Little Bald Bead
When sonny's hair is just begin-
ning to come in nicely you can give
him a splendid head treatment by
rubbing equal quantities of olive and
castor oil slightly warmed into his
scalp before shampooing. It will
greatly encourage the growth of that
young hair.
Not So Much Noise
Snap a heavy rubber band around
the sides of the alarm cloclt and
bell. It will muffle the bell enough
that everyone in the house will sleep
through it except the person who
must get up.
Sturdy Cords
When you have- the picture down
cleaning it, look over its wire or
cord carefully and see that it is in
good condition before returning it
to its plelce. You may save the fall
of a valuable painting by this little
investigation.
Loosened Screws
When the tiny screws in your eye-
glasses have become loose, you will
find a small steel pen will tighten
them beautifully, used as a screw
driver. The cuticle knife from the'
manicuring set is also another aid
for this small shop work, •
Emergency Cleaning
Make a Soft bag of several thick-
nesses of cloth and f111•with pulver-
ized pumice stone. Stitch across the
upper edge to keep the powder from
spilling. Window panes wiped with
this pad will be shiny and clean im-
mediately, It is a nice thing to keep
on hand in case of emergency,
So Easy
There is nothing like the ice pick
to push through tite perforated tops
of the cleanser cans.
The Child's hobby
Encourage the youngster to have a
hobby of some sort. It will develop
contractive ability' in the child and
prove a splendid source of amuse-
ment when all other outdoor thongs
fail anti he must remain in. Photo-
graphy, carpentry, stamp collecting,
painting, radio building, are just a
few of the -many helpful and fasein-
ating. hobbies the child may develop.
Moth Prevention
All trunks, boxes and chests used
to hold winter wraps and •draperies
should be lined with newspapers,
Nothing should be stored away un-
less itis absolutely clean and free
from spots or soil. No amount of
cainphor or newspapers can keep
moths out of soiled garments,
The tae hags that can be bought
so reasonably now are splendid for
particular clothing. There is a hang
er inside to hold the garment and
keep it in shape while it is in its safe
summer house.
Comfort for thc'1'all housewife
The right height for the gas stove
can be placed et any height desired
by means of wooden bhocks under its -
feet.
A Deceiving Appearance
Even though you do not care for
the appearance of a centipede when
you meet one in' the cellar, let it
wend its way in peace. It feeds on
other household pests and really does
no harm to household articles. •
Best for the Kitchen
Stainless steel knives and forks
for the kitchen are a joy, first on
account of their ever -shining qual-
ities and then, too, odors do not seerh
to cling to them as to ordinary steel.
Onion and fish odors readily wash
off without strenuous measures:
To Soften the Brushes
When we have not painted for
some time we are' disappointed to
find tbe,brushes have become hard
acid dry. I-leat sone vinegar to the
boiling point and soak the brushes ,in
it for about 20 minutes. Then boil
thein gently in strong soapsuds for a
few minutes. Thcy,ivill be.like new.
The Porch Floor
Dust the porch floor with a dust-
less mop slightly .oiled. - This will
give the floor a highly polished and
well -kept appearance and preserve
the: hoards.
The home Decorator „
If you have a room decorated'
with a highly decorative paper with
a well covered design, you can give it
an antique' appearance and -charge
the aspect of the room by giving it
a coat of orange shellac,
Where is, Your Piano?
Be' careful about the placement of
your piano if you want to keep it in
good condition. Don't place it close
to te window or against en outside
wall. Avoid a position where one
end is against a radiator and the oth-
er in a draft from window or door.
Keep it closed when not in lite,
Soda 'Teter Straws
A bundle of straws, such as are
used at soda fountains, are conven-
ient and sanitary to feed liquids to
a sick child. They cah be burned af-
ter using and there is no danger of
breakage as with glass tubes. Chil-
dren will ofttimes trete nourishment
through a fascinating straw where
otherwise it would.. mean a different
task.
Interesting Letters.
One woman *ho corresponds with
a number of friends has a unique
habit that results in very interesting
letters for her correspondents, When-
ever she reads something that would
be of interest site marks on the clip-
ping the initials of the friend and
places the clipping in a pigeon -holo
of her desk. When the time comes
for writing many interesting bits of
gossip and truths are ready to he
sent and commented upon.
Homespun Yarns
A soft cloth dampened with alco-
hol will remove fly specks.
Moisture and extreme heat des-
troy the wearing quality of shoe
leather.'
The inclosed porch will be bright-
ened immensely if an attractive lin-
oleum is used as a floor covering,
When malting homemade candies
of frostings, do not color then too
highly with vegetable coloring. It
takes away from their daintiness.
A little turpentine on a cloth used
to wipe out the floor of your clothes
closet will serve as a warning to
moths. Closet and bureau drawers
may be treated in like manner,

Whooping Baugh is really a serious
condition. It is one of the commun-
icable diseases,and it is passed from
the patient to others in the secretions
of the nose and throat.
Whooping cough, in the beginning,
seems like a slight cold. There is
running at the nose and a hoarse-
ness or cough. iA.fter a week, the
cough gets worse. The child coughs
many times in succession, each fie -
of coughing being followed by a deep
sharp intake of air the whoop. •

NATIONAL OLD AGE PENSIONS
RELIEVE PROVINCES OF
TAX
Ottawa, March 21st, (Special to
The News -Record): -Legislation to
implement four pre-eletcion promis-
es will be introduced this session by
the Bennett government. Definite
notice is given that national old age
pensions will become a reality. Fed-
eral assistance will be provided for
technical education and for high-
way construction and remedial leg-
•islation to aid agriculture will be
introduced.
It is expected that te minimum sum
of 84,000,000 per year will be votecl
for highways and technical educa-
tion. Federal assumption of old age
pensions in their entirety will re-
lieve provinces and municipalities of
more than fifteen millions a year in
taxation and will bring the federal
Outlay for pensions to approximately
330,000,000 a year. The Maritime
ewovinces and tiebec, which have
not enjoyed pensions under the pre-
sent act, will be brought under the
new legislation, When the new act
is fully functioning on a national
basis it is believed the cost will run
to forty millions a year, but that
will not be until 1932 for it will take
at least twelve months to create ma-
chinery and deal with application in
the provinces which have not hith-
erto had old age pensions.
. INFLOW TO CANADA OUT-
NUMBERS EXODUS
Nearly 3000 more Canadians and
immigrants entered Canada from the
United States during the first 10
months of 1030 than entered the
United States from Canada.
'Statistics for the 10 months of
the calendar year 1930 indicate that
50,558 immigrants . and Canadians
returning to Canada left the United
States during this period as eons -
pared with 47,601 immigrants and
American citizens entering the 'Uni-
ted States from Canada. These fig-
ures indicate that Canada received
2,897 more persons from the United
States during this period than en-
tered the United States from Can-
Ada.

The attaeks may be violent and
prolonged. The child vomits fre.
euently after an attack of coughing,
The inability to retain food, the loss
of sleep and the consequent strain
often result in the child's losing
weight and" becoming quite weak,
Whooping cough is serious because
it weakens its victims to such an ex-
tent that other diseases, particularly
pneumonia and tuberculosis, find
their chance • to attack, - which they
do, often with fatal results.
(There would be considerably fewer
sad results of whooping • cough if
peoplegenerally understood that it
is a serious disease and that it
should be treated as such. Very of-
ten children suffering from whoop-
ing cough do not receive the care
they need and, as a result, they are
much more likely to developpneu-
monia or some other serious and
frequently fatal •disease.
A child suffering from whooping
cough needs plenty of fresh air.
Unless the weather is bad or he has
a fever or seine other condition
' which would keep hien in bed,,
should be out-of-doors every da
His room should be well aired, nig
and day, by keeping windows a
doors open sufficiently to prove
for a gentle current of air throug
the room all the time.
If he vomits frequentler, it ma
he found that smaller meals. give
snore often will help.
Other 'persons insist be protecte,
and so all secretions from hose am
throat should . be collected on of
cloths or • paper• rend burned. Thr
dishes should beboiled and kept se
parately. The patient must be kep
from coining into contact with oth
ere, particularly children.
Pertussis or whooping coag
vaccine is used in the prevention an
treatment of whooping cough.. It''
value has not as yet been definite'..
proved. Some believe that the re-
sults are encouraging enough to ware
rant its use, If your family doctor
recommends its use, you should ac-
cent his advice.
As whooping cough is particularly
dangerous in the first year of life,
every effort should be made to pro-
tect the babies, and parents should
never take a chance of allowing their
baby to come in contact with chil-
dren who have whooping cough or.
even colds, because what seems today
to be only a cold may later turn out
to be whooping cough or measles.
