Unwanted Parents

.-|' Nest-Egg Best Security For Old Age

l think that it is the duty of all parents to give their personal attention to the rearing of their children and not to de- pend on nurses and governesses and baby-sitters to do the task. I also think that nil parents should make a provision for their old age so that they will not be dependent on their children.

I find from personal experience that no matter how much we fathers and mothers have loved and cherished our children that there comes a time when the old peo-

PARENTS STARVE

All of us know plenty of fathers and mothers who starve that their children may eat cake; who go shabby that their children may have fine clothes; who literally work themselves to death to send their children to fashionable schools, and who justify themselves for spending all they make on their children by saying that Johnny and Mamie will take cnrc of them when they are old, that their children are their savings bank. But, unfortunately, grateful children are the exception, not the rule. and when mother and father get too old to work Johnny and Mamie do not often welcome them into their homes with cries of joy. They con-

HOUSE DUST OFTEN A CAUSE 0F ALLERGY

We are familiar with allergy in which the tissues of some indivi- duals 115 to 20 per cent of the population.) rPact differently than most of u.s to certain substances that float in the air. are eaten in food, or injected under the skin. We see it in forms of hay fever, asth- ma, head colds, stomach upsets, hives and other skin eruptions. Allergists. specialists in allergy, tell us that there are many sub- stanc€s causing allergy that are still unlanown or not suspected. One of the commonest causes is ordinary house dust, to which one or more of the family are allergic but who blame their symptoms on pollen or similar substances

Some years ago a magazine men- tioned a. case of allergy in which the father of the household, afflict- ed with asthma, travelled ahead of his family to locate a district where he would be free of asthma. Find- ing such a place, he would send for the family. Shortly after the family arrived, his asthma. again would afflict him_ It was only after sev- eral such movlngs that it was learned that it was the fur of the beloved family oat that was caus- ing the asthmatic attacks.

While allergists have found scrne cases of allergy to be caused by street dust. it is more often sub- stances in the air of the home that are to blame. Some of these sub- stances are the children's toys stuf- fed with wool or cotton lint, insect Sprays. heavy curtains, mattress frillings of lealhtrs or cotton, ccr- tain cosmetic articles, the odors of perfumes, and powders, hair dyes, eyebrow and lip pencils.

The thought, then, is that wherr the cause of the allergic symptoms" is unknown. and the usual test for foods and pollen have been made. the dust in the home-particularly‘ in the bedrooms imsttresses) and in sitting rooms (stuffed chairs and safest-should be carefully tested by an allergist. 'I‘iie cause of allerg- ic symptoms can be found in the majority of cases if diligent search is made.

projects with ‘the cherished plans, hopes and wishes it would be well to make more than off-hand preparations. The ten- dency may be to slur over details and sufficient attention to routines or techniques. A move in the direc- tion of long-term values, the stalb- ilizlng of future security and re- wards, imay prove vital. It. may lighten the burdtn, extend the vis- ion. Those in position to assist by their mature judgment or larger experience will be impressed.

For the Birthday

Those whose birthday it is, are urged to give clue preparation for plans and projects of enduring scope and long-term objectives. The close-up view may be discour- aging, but shrewd and persistent efforts are likely to impress those able to get proper perspective, to widen scope and promise through mature slants oi- tésled experience. Cast burdens and doubts aside for the more expansive vision; work for distant ends snd substantial security rather than for the mom- ent. Diligence and study may prove richer than a "flash in the pan" or sullen resentments.

Since the field-work commenced. it fslls ss one farmer's share at Alderlea to attend to the choring at the buildings, to take care of the stock and the various fetchings of hay and grain and potatoes rthat come now from the other farm. This allows small leisure.

l i. Q. How can I clesn white felt ‘ hats?

A. Mix one quart of oornmeai with one cupful each of salt and flour Rub into the surface of the felt, allow to stand over night, and than remove by brushing. Often, dirt spots of grime can be removed by use of art gum or the finest sandpaper.

Q. How can I relieve eyes that fecl tired and dusty?

A. Bathe them with borlc acid or other eye wash. Vaseline jelly is quick and effective in promoting long and curling eye lashes.

She nod- ‘dad, though it was evident that it was all a vast miracle. "And when you were up in the loft." she con- tinued, "did they cry little mews when you lifted them?"
