Held Apple-Paring Bees
Here's a little jovial custom the
swains of pioneer days enjoyed at
apple-paring ' A es. If they could
take all the skin oft an apple in one
strip, they whirled it around their
heads and let it fly. The paring
was supposed to shape itself into
the monogram of the fellow's intend
ed mate.
Sausage, Ancient Form of Food
Sausage is one of the oldest forms
of processed food. It was popular
with the ancient Chinese and with
the Greeks, being mentioned in Book
20 of Homer’s ‘‘Odyssey.” The word
salami was probably derived from
Salamis, a Greek city destroyed
about 449 B. C.
Nero Had High Elevator
Elevators and organs certainly
aren’t new. Emperor Nero, who
watched Rome burn and whiled
away the moments with his fiddle,
had an elevator 120 feet high and a
self-playing organ operated by com
pressed air.
Dowry Duty Free
An Austrian law provides that a
foreign woman marrying an Austri

Unique Meeting to Be Held
At Texas State College
A common desire for a better
understanding between farm and
factory will bring a large group of
Industrialists from the East, West
and South to College Station, Texas,
early in February for a two day,
hear-to-heart talk with half a hun
dred or more plain Texas dirt
farmers.
The business men comprise the
Agricultural Committee of the Na
tional Association of Manufacturers
and include some of the leading cor
poration heads from a score of dif
ferent states. They were invited to
meet undei the auspices of Texas
Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege by Di. T. 0. Walton, president
of the college.
The meeting is one of a series
of farmer-manufacturer meetings
staged in different sections of the
country to give the manufacturers a
better picture of farm problems and
farm conditions throughout the na
i tlon. It is. however, the first meet
• ing of its kind to be held In the
South. The committee of business
men previously bas met at lowa
State College in Ames, at the Uni
versity of Minnesota in St Paul and
at Cornell University in Ithaca, New

C. Houston Goudiss Offers Timely Advice on Keeping i
Children Well in Winters Warns of i
Several Dangers )
By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS
ONE of the ways by which her community judges a
woman’s success as a mother is by the health and well- ,
being of her children. If they are energetic, rosy-cheeked ,
normal boys and girls who have a high resistance to infec- :
tions, such as the common cold, and if they display the good
dispositions that we usually associate with buoyant health,
then the verdict of friends and neighbors is usually that of a
job well done.
To help her children main
tain top health and vitality, a
mother must constantly be
alert to the various factors
that help produce this ideal
estate. And at the same time,
she must likewise be on guard
against the common condi
tions that may contribute to
lowered resistance, especially
fatigue and improper diet.
Winter Hazards
It has been said that in winter
the body is on trial—and this is
as true of children
as of adults. Ex
tremes of tempera
ture require ad
justments on the
part of the body,
and in most parts
of the country,
children are called
upon constantly to
switch their envi
ronment from a
house which is all
too frequently over-
heated to an outdoor temperature
that may be below freezing.
While cool, outdoor air is stim
ulating to children in normal
health, some children withstand
it much less successfully. This is
particularly true of those who are
improperly nourished; who are
over-fatigued or suffer from poor
circulation.
When it is very cold outdoors, it
is wise to have children come in
from their play periodically to
warm up. And if a child appears
to suffer from the cold unduly, it
is wise to have a physician check
up on his health.
Guard Against Frostbite
Over-exposure must be avoided,
particularly in cold, damp weath
er. For under these conditions,
doctors warn, there is always a
danger of frostbite. They say that
whenever the temperature falls
below 8 degrees Fahrenheit, chil
dren should not be permitted to
play outdoors. If they do, the cold
may act upon the tissues so that
part of the body is deprived of its
blood supply. This is most likely
to occur in the fingers, toes, nose
or ears which thereupon become
frozen. The combination of wind
and low temperature is especially
dangerous and frostbite frequently
occurs at temperatures up to 14
degrees Fahrenheit when there is
a strong wind.
Mothers should be on guard
against frostbite when the tem
perature is below 24 degrees Fahr
enheit, however, and at all times
during the winter, see that chil
dren are warmly clad. This need
not mean that they are so bundled
up as to preclude the possibility
of active play. Suitable clothing
consists of garments which pro
vide warmth and protection
against dampness, without con
striction at any point.
Two layers of wool, such as
that provided by a woolen sweat
er and playsuit are considered
preferable to one too-bulky gar
ment. Feet and hands should, of
course, be well protected.
Don't Overheat the House
Only a little less serious are
the consequences of dry, over
heated indoor air. It is unfortu
nate that so many people keep
their rooms entirely too warm in
’S — (
winter. This not only widens the
gap between indoor and outdoor
temperatures but may be ex
tremely irritating to the delicate
membranes of the nose and
throat. Most authorities consider
an indoor temperature of about 68
degrees Fahrenheit satisfactory.
1$ Your Child Lazy?
We often hear mothers complain
that their children are lazy in
cold weather . . . and they seem
to have less pep and energy than
in other seasons. If by that they
mean that their children are
less active, it may be that this
can be attributed in part to the
■ bleak, shorter days that do not al
• ways invite outdoor play. But
■ sometimes a child displays such
i a reduction in his activities as to
appear indolent. Then the moth
; er must seek the physical or emo
, tional factors that may be re
[ sponsible. For true laziness sug
। gests a body that is not function
■ ing normally.
, Quite possibly the child’s diet is
I not meeting his bodily require
• ments. An undernourished child
. usually tires easily and is dis
inclined to exert himself. The
. food may be adequate as to quan
l tity, but not as to quality. For
[ example, a diet that is too highly
i concentrated, contains too little
I I bulk or cellulose, may cause a
J tendency to faulty elimination.
• This, in turn, is frequently re
sponsible for lassitude. The rem
; edy is often a simple dietary
i change—the addition of a salad to
। the daily diet; or possibly the
। use of stewed dried fruits in addi
t tion to a fresh fruit or fruit juice
daily. Os course, the child should

also have two servings of vegeta
bles besides potatoes, one of
which should be of the green
leafy variety. Also a quart of milk
daily; breads and cereals, at least
half of which may preferably be
the whole grain variety; an egg
daily or at least three or four
weekly; one serving of meat, fish
or chicken, and another serving
of a protein food, such as cheese.
Some form of vitamin D should
be included in the diet of young
children, especially during the
winter months.
It is also most important that
children follow a daily routine that
includes plenty of time for sleep.
And for younger children a day
time nap is usually advised.
Children Need Healthy Mothers
Mothers must give attention to
the children’s health. But let them
give some consideration to their
own. The tired, nervous mother
is very apt to transfer some of
her own fatigue and nervousness
to her child. So in arranging your
child’s rest periods and diet, in
looking after proper habits of
elimination, make sure that Moth
er, too . . . and better still every
member of the family . . . fol

Questions Answered
Mrs. B. F.— Between the ages
of 60 and 70, and indeed thereaft
er, there is a gradual decrease in
the need for energy. All the body
processes function more slowly.
The amount of proteins, minerals
and vitamins is also less, as no
new tissue is being formed. An
excess of food is less readily han
dled by the body in later years, so
it is advisable for older people to
guard carefully against over-in
dulgence in food.
Miss B. W. J.— As a rule, no
special consideration need be giv
en to the amount of sulphur in the
diet. That is because sulphur in
food is found almost entirely in
the form of protein, and in a
well-balanced diet which supplies
sufficient protein, the require
ments for sulphur will be ade
quately met.
