BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON I think the child I feel the sor- ~ riest for is the one who is tired. Always tired. : My reason for this reaction is that . the naturally strong have not the

least conception of what it means |{

to bé really weary. !

There is a difference between the | gas

healthy body, tired from a day's - work or long exercise, that slinks down comfortably into sleep, and the one constantly forcing himself to take part in every-day life, no matter how simple. The very breath is an effort. Nerve fatigue is one of the most cruel things that the demon of illhealth ever invented.

Another reason for this sympathy |}

of mine for the weak child is that he is called “lazy.” If he can't eat, he’s called “finicky.” If he does not go out and play and run races, “queer.” liberate in action, “stupid.” names are accurate. He is all these things. “Nerve fatigue” demands more price than suffering. It draws opprobrium on its victim’s head by very genuine abnormalities of conduct. May Be Born So

and feeding of the mother, and the effect on the life and strength of

the unborn baby’s future, it is not |:

in the least fantastic to hold this opinion. “Nerve weariness,” is only a name I give to the unaccountedfor tiredness. Certainly the nerves go when there is deep-seated cause. Again there is a psychological reason for nerves going first and bodily weariness following. But this is not so likely to happen to children, as conflicts, and life's problems and disappointments have not worn them. out as yet. However, it can and does happen. . Then there is the “gland” theory. Either the thyroid is slack or the other glands are not hitting on all cylinders. We are so peculiarly made that often real diagnosis is dificult. But unquestionably many cases are due to inactive glands.

. Doctors May Be Able to Help

The doctor may discover “fatigue” to be due to malnourishment, which can happen to the rich as well as the poor. When such a one can not assimilate his food and is thin, stooped, dull-eyed and yellow; when he is stupid and looks more so by chinning his chest and dropping his jaw, then science. can do something by building up his chemistry and blood quality. It is special and careful work beyond the reach of nostrums. Sleep helps but not enough. This child never wants to wake up. He may stay awake half the night, tossing and then sleep like the dead next morning. Of course, this is true of other children with slight derangements, too, but it is chronic with the physically underequipped child. He needs help, not censure. Care, not insults. Understanding, not im-

patience. And he needs cure. (Copyright, 1936. NEA Service, Inc.)

Good to Eat

ERHAPS you'd like something new to serve with cold cuts or something original to have on your vegetable plate dinner? This is the answer, tomato fritters. These really are delicious. I think tne batter in which the tomato-sandwich fritters are dipped is especially good, making them crisp and appetizing instead of soggy as so many fritters are. :

TOMATO SANDWICH FRITTERS

3 large tomatoes or 12 thick slices of tomato 14 cup dry bread crumbs 1g cup melted butter 1 tablespoon finely minced onion or chives cup flour teaspoon baking powder teaspoon salt cup milk egg well beaten

2 tablespoon parsley minced

I called these tomato-sandwich fritters because they are prepared in sandwich form before they are fried in deep fat. : This | recipe will make six large Jritters, Now, for directions: Cut the tomatoes into 4 -inch slices. Thoroughly mix the bread crumbs, melted butter, onion, chopped very, very fine and parsley. Spread lightly on one half of the tomato slices. Top with the remaining halves pressing together well in sandwich fashion. \ Dip into the batter made by shifting the flour, salt and baking powder together and mixing the combined beaten egg and milk with it. Mix well. ! Fry the sandwiches in deep hot fat (375) until lightly browned. Drain well on absorbent paper and

Health Rules Cite Unclean Hand Dangers

BY SHIRLEY W. WYNNE, M. D. Former Health Commissioner, New York Oliver Wendell Holmes was a philosopher, a poet and a prose writer outstanding among the great. In fact, he excelled in these pursuits to such a degree that many have forgotten that he was a physician of unusual ability, and a keen clinical observer. It was he who, after careful and painstaking observation, expressed the conviction that communicable diseases could be and frequently were carried by unclean hands. The fact that these observations were made before the disgovery that. bacteria were the cause of infectious: diseases indicates the keen‘ness of his observation and the soundness of his judgment. Washing Is Important Teach children not to put pencils and other articles in their mouths. Teach them the health habit of washing their hands thoroughly with soap and water before: eating, after using the lavatory, after play and before retiring. Of course the housewife should thoroughly wash her hands before preparing food and insist that all her household assistants do likewise. The maid, waitress or cook with dirty hands is a health menace in the home that should not be tolerated. \ Cleanliness is ‘always important, but during the warm weather it is of paramount importance. Here is some health advice for the summer, summarized in a few rules: = Keep clean. Personal and household cleanliness through the plentiful use of soap and hot water is essential to good health. Dress lightly and, so far as is practical, wear washable clothing, change it frequently, and wear no more than is necessary. Diet Rules Given Eat plenty of fresh fruits and fresh vegetables. Drink a quart of milk a day. Cut down on fats, sugars and starches. Drink plenty of water. Don’t eat when overtired or over-heated. Clean up, rest and relax before meals. Don’t swim or bathe in polluted water. Don't swim immediately after eating or when very tired. Don’s show off. The daring swimmers are frequently those who drown. : - Don’t ‘try to crowd a year's quota of exercise into a two-weeks’ vacation. Don’t try to acquire a tan in a day or a week. You will acquire a burn instead, which is neither healthful nor pleasant. Shun the housefly and places where it abounds. It is born in filth, lives in filth and feeds on filth. It is therefore an effective and untiring conveyor of filth and disease. In short, be clean and be moderate and your summer will be pleasant, enjoyable and healthful.

Soak Potted Plants

Potted plants will be healthier if, at regular intervals, they -are allowed to soak in a tub or dishpan filled with water. The water should come almost to the rim of the flower pots.

Pots Are Good ~ for Inside Use

Beauty, Utility Make New Vessels Popular With Growers.

A tradition of the horticultural? world which recently was proved untrue concerned the porous &sS§ flower pot, which was said to be necessary to the health of plants grown indoors. A series of careful experiments have exploded this: theory and proved that ornamental glazed pots are quite as wholesome for the plants, and in some ways better for them. Since glazed pots may be beautiful as well as practical, this discovery has proved to be good news for indoor gardeners, especially flat dwellers, whose only opportunity to grow plants is in the sunparlor or living room. Instead of pots which are unsightly and damp, requiring a cover to make them presentable, they now can grow plants in beautiful containers, which never leak, and which experts say will keep the plants in better condition in the ordinary room than the porous pot. The use of the clay pot is so old, it is almost a legend. It had always been thought that its porous nae ture, which allows excess of moise ture to drain off or evaporate through the sides, could not be changed safely. ; Now science says this is wrong, and the glazed pot, in shiny colors and attractive designs, is fast take ing the place of the old red clay type. Although it, too, is made of pottery, it is of harder substance and not porous, enabling one to set it anywhere without fear of water leaking from it. } ~ Mahy florists handle plants in these new glazed pots, and it is a practice of some women to buy a few, and after the plants have died, save them for future use.

Need No Drainage

In the glazed pot no provision is made for drainage. This might seem rank heresy to oldtime indoor gare deners, but experts agree it is best. In the greenhouse, where clay pots can be kept atop a bench of moise tened soil, and where the atmose phere is sufficiently humid, the clay pot should be. used. In the home, this same pot must sit in a dry situ ation, in dry air, thus forcing the moisture to be absorbed by the pot and then by the air. This is the advantage of the glazed pot—it needs less water, and is less messy, besides being much more handsome, It must be remembered, however, that where glazed pots are used for long-lived house plants, there must be discrimination in watering. Over watering in this type of pot, from which the -excess water has no chance to drain away, will do serious injury. The safe rule is to give your plant a good drink, when it is dry. : Drying Is Rapid

Small novelty containers of white pottery filled with growing green plants are very popular this season, Small sized philodendrons, various cacti, English and grape leaved ivies, Chinese evergreens, nephthytis, and fancy leaved calidiums are available in all kinds of interesting containers including miniature animals, everything from frogs to elephants. Remember that very small containers that hold little soil dry out quite rapidly, especially during the warm weather, and require frequent attention. One advantage of water-tight containers for plants is that a saucer is not necessary, and water and soil can not wash through the drainage hole and harm the table or cloth beneath.

Young People’s Director to Aid:

Mrs. Ruth D. Estes is to arrive early in September from Union City to take up duties as director o# young people's work and assistant to Dr. William PF. Rothenburger, Third Christian Church pastor.
