LEAVE CHILD TO
MOTHER NATURE
Certain Amount of “Shaping”
Will Do the Rest.
He was a rough-and-ready young
man and a father. He wasn't one
to whom you could mention child
training. He knew all about it. The
“cranks” who were turning the world
upside down trying to make ninnies
of children simply disgusted him.
When the baby was born he rum¬
pled him to make him tough.
One wouldn't have dared to tell
him that buried deep in the baby's
nature was its own alloy hardening
that nature would bring out in time,
making a far better mixture than a
top layer that wasn't the real thing
at all and would probably slough off
in the wear and tear of life.
Gradually the child ceased to be
an object for experiment with his
father. He became a person. He
could think and act and originate
thought, and smart thought, too.
Without realizing what had hap¬
pened, this man fell in love with
his child. He became gentler with
each month. He began to co-operate
and encourage bis son in hie little
hobbies and play. He ceased making
fun of him and repeated the words
of baby wisdom.
And then the miracle happened.
It was the first time I had ever heard
a man say it, much less an opinion¬
ated man.
He said, “You know, I believe that
the more you let children alone and
allow them to work out their own
little plans the better off they are.
I don’t have any patience with all
this new-fangled stuff about guid¬
ing and molding and so on. Just
let them do things they want in their
own way, unless it's something that
they just have to be told.”
Then for the first time I said,
"That is all we want. It is aii we
are working fort You have just stat¬
ed the sum total of all the new train¬
ing, as you call it. We just want to
give nature a chance. Nature is
smarter than we are. We ask that,
and the examples of a good home,
love and sensible parents. Not an¬
other thing.
“Don’t lean backward and think
Billy doesn’t need a bit of shaping.
Too bad, but be has to live in a
world of people, not the woods, and
lie has to make some adjustments.
But you’re right, even here. En¬
courage his best qualities and keep
him busy. There won’t be much time
or room then for the other.”

S’ > HIOAGO'S A Century of Prog-
I ress exposition is over. Truly
worthy of the time-worn bill¬
ing, “The Greatest Show on
Barth,” it attracted 38,806,843, paid ad¬
missions, more than any other world's
fair anywhere, any time. A total of
22,320,456 paid to see it in 1933 and
16,486,387 in 1934. On the final day,
October 31, 1934, 372,127 persons filled
the grounds to bid the Fair farewell.
Conceived in the sky-scraping
heights of a free and easy prosperity,
it was born in the subterranean dark¬
ness of a heart-sickening depression,
amid a national chorus of “don’ts”
and "noes” and a world-wide ballet of
apprehensive shivers. From the rags
and tatters of its early boyhood, it
rose, like the stripling “Sink-or-Swim,”
“Strive-and-Succeed” hero of a Hora¬
tio Alger novel, with its chin up and its
eye clear, into a prosperous young
business giant, and married the boss’
daughter.
It paid off. More than that, it will
likely show a comfortable profit. That
is something unheard of in interna¬
tional expositions. No world’s fair, not
even the World’s Columbian exposition
of 1893, generally held up as the shin¬
ing example, ever returned to the good
fairies who financed it more than 10
per cent of the glittering millions they
showered Into its coffers. No one ever
expected the others to pay off. Few—-
except the skillful pilots at the helm—
ever expected this one to repay dollar
for dollar.
The 1933-1934 World’s Fair has al¬
ready made Itself felt as a stimulus to
business in Chicago, the Middle West,
and throughout the nation.
Before two hours had passed since
the opening of the exposition In its sec
ond season, on May 26 of this year, the
official register in the Sears. Roebuck
building had recorded visitors from all
forty-eight states and fifteen foreign
countries.
Of the 39,000,000 visitors more than
15,000,000 were from outside Chicago.
They came from the four corners of
the land. California and Florida rated
among the highest of the states In
Fair attendance. All of the tourists
and travelers that these and other
states, north, south, east and west,
sent to the Fair spent money on their
way to Chicago, in Chicago and on
their way home.
Visitors Spend Freely.
Before leaving for the Fair, out-of-
town visitors prepared for the Journey.
They bought new shoes, hats, clothing.
If they drove, they had their cars put
into first-class condition by local me¬
chanics. They spent money on the
way in hotels, restaurants, filling sta¬
tions, garages. If they came long dis¬
tances, they stopped off to learn the
charms and fascinations of interme¬
diate cities and spent money In them.
Some six or seven million bought
railroad rickets. Another two or three
million rode motor coaches. Either
way, they spent money which the
transportation lines will, in many
cases, spend again along the routes of
travel.
In Chicago itself, the association of
commerce of that city estimates, they
spent *70,000,000. Much of this in the
natural course of exchange will pour
back to manufacturers and industries
throughout tlie country, helping to
make more jobs, create new wealth
and new spending power.
The money spent during the period
of the exposition is only a start Desires
created among potential buyers by the
exhibits at the Fair will affect their
spending for years to come. Millions
for the first time felt at the Fair the
comfort of air-conditioned houses.
Farmers saw for the first time the
manifold advantages of prefabricated
steel barns. Housewives learned the
charm and efficient simplicity of the
newer modes in furniture, saw how
their housework could be lightened and
their leisure time increased by simple
household appliances. Business men
saw for the first time new machines
that can do practically all of the audit¬
ing and calculation in a business office
Builders learned the amazing things
that have already been done with pre¬
fabricated houses and buildings.
Nation’s Spending Power.
Generally, the millions who saw the
Fair represented the spending power
of the nation ; certainly the 15.000,000
who could afford to make the trip from
other parts of the country werp, for
the larger part, the spenders of their

less articles which were primarily im¬
pressed upon them at the Fair.
A Century of Progress and its exhib¬
itors and concessionaires created em¬
ployment at the Fair for more than
40,000 persons. Half a million men
and women were given jobs tasting
from a few months to two years, tie-
fore the Fair opened. Only 115,-
000 of these jobs, which were largely
concerned with preparing exhibits and
construction materials, were in the Chi¬
cago area. Thousands of the workers
during the Fair period were recruited
from outside Chicago. The money
which all of these workers earned will,
at least in part, be spent in their home
communities Much of the $50,000,000
spent for construction and maintenance
before the Fair opened found its way
out of the Illinois metropolis.
Perhaps no less interesting or Im¬
portant than its economic effect was
the cultural effect of the Fair. With
gay shows, colorful “foreign villages,"
dozens of unusual spectacles and
bountiful free entertainments competing,
the Hall of Science drew more than 34,-
000.000 visitors, some 90 per cent of
the total attendance. Over 4,000,000
visited the Hall of Religion. More
than 2,000.000 persons visited the Art
Institute’s $75,000,000 display, despite
the fact that it was not even located
on the exposition grounds. Band-
shells for two great symphony orches¬
tras were always filled.
Investors Are Paid.
What the effect of A Century of
Progress will have upon the exposi¬
tions of the future is easy to foretell.
Here is an exposition which asked for
no grants of money from anyone, and
got none. Before the market crash of
1929, its sponsors went out and got
$6,500,000 in pledged loans, many of
them through the influence of Charles
Dawes, who from the start was the
financial guiding genius of the Fair.
Though collection was not begun until
after the crash, more than 98 per cent
of the money was collected immediate¬
ly. Every one of these investors, plus
others who raised the total to $10,000.-
000, has been paid back. Subsequent
fairs will have a difficult time getting
the government windfalls of the past
in the face of that record.
A CeDtury of Progress, further, did
not give space away to exhibitors, as
other Fairs had done. It made theiu
pay $10 a square foot, and sold them on
the idea, even in the face of depression
and careful industrial economy every¬
where.
A Century of Progress offered no
gold medals and no blue ribbons to
exhibitors. There were no competi¬
tions. Right there was eliminated
much of the dull repetition of former
fairs. Manufacturers were not re¬
quired merely to present their finished
products, polished and prettied-up.
courting the fancy of the judges. They
were allowed to show how their prod¬
ucts were made, and they did. Mo¬
tion was everywhere; static was poison.
Visitors saw industry with the wheels
turning and the covers off. There was
another mark for world’s fairs of the
future to shoot at.
in the Hall of Science visitors could
see actual laboratory experiments in
pure science, gripping in their drama
of man’s fight against the darkness
Ignorance and for the torch of progress.
In the exhibit buildings they saw how
this science was applied in the actual
process of every industry, from the
making of silk hosiery to automobiles.
The fascination of it nil was a draw¬
ing power few could resist Persons
of small means traveled hundreds of
miles on horseback, on bicycles, on
foot, to see it. Some bartered their
way in with eggs, chickens, farm pro¬
duce. One girl, arriving broke from
the Northwest, wanted to trade her
favorite horse for admission and sus¬
tenance Inside. Barge groups banded
together and came in single trucks,
sleeping under the stars en route and
eating army wartime rations, meted
out carefully by their leaders.
And on the closing night more than
372,000 Fair fans braved the chill Oc¬
tober weather, staying “till the last
dog was hung” In early morning, while
hundreds of thousands more thronged
outside the gates because there was no
room to get in.
Contemplating Figures.
With the Fair gone forever the hey¬
day arrived for the muster minds whose
unholy joy is the business of figuring
out how far all the world’s fair visitors
would have stretched if laid end to
end, and ai) that. As a matter of fact
they would have stretched more than
sixteen times around the earth at the
equator if none of them drowned lying
in the oceans.
The lights which made a dreamland
out of the Fair by night drew enough
current to supply a city of 60,000 for
a whole year. The Intra-grounds buses
carried 24,000,000 passengers an ag¬
gregate total of the equivalent of seven
trips to the moon, with plenty of mile-
age left over. Concessionnaires sold
10,000,000 hamburgers, 5.000,000 hot
dogs, 4,000,000 boxes of pop corn and
a million bowls of chili conearne, in
addition to the millions of complete
meals served in the restaurants, prov¬
ing that Fair visitors, like armies,
travel on their stomachs.
All of this must have been more than
gratifying to Rufus Dawes, his brother,
former Vice President Charles Gates
Dawes, Lenox R. Lohr, general man¬
ager, and the others who did what the
whole world said couldn’t be done in
wtiat was virtually the worst time in
history to try doing IL
What is to become of many of the
memorable features of the Fair? .Much
of the contents of the Hall of Science
is being moved to the Museum of Sci¬
ence and Industry in Chicago. Ail his¬
torical exhibits of the Ford building
are going to Henry Ford's museum In
Dearborn, Mich. Sally Hand and her
fans are going on tour, as is the cast
of the Old Globe theater. Industrial
exhibits are in some cases being dis¬
mantled, in others being installed as
permanent exhibits in the plants ol

ing about their gruesome task of re
moving the corpse from Chicago's beau¬
tiful lake front.

Let Our Motto Be
GOOD HEALTH
BY DR LLOYD ARNOLD
Professor Medicine,University of Bacteriology of and Illinois* Preytntive
College of Medicine.
YOU CAN PASTEURIZE MILK
A city mother was telling a country
mother how lucky she was that she
could raise her
baby where there
was clean air and
open fields and
sunshine.
“I know these are
important,” said
the country moth¬
er, “but you city
people have pas¬
te u r i z e d milk,
while we never
know what disease
our babies will get
in the milk they
drink."
The country mother was right. Pas¬
teurization of milk is one of the great¬
est boons to health that the city offers
children. Milk is one of man’s best
foods, but it is also a good food for
germs. Germs grow well in milk. Milk
from cattle certified to be free from
disease and handled by persons free
from disease is good wholesome milk,
but unless tills certification of health
has been made, then a family should
not take any chances on milk that Js
used for drinking or in the preparation
of uncooked food. L’npasteurized milk
may of course he used safely in cooked
or baked dishes.
Milk, as stated above, is a. food in
which many kinds of germs thrive.
Some of these are harmless t6 man, but,
unfortunately, many are decidedly
harmful. Among these are the tuber¬
culosis, typhoid fever, septic sore
throat and infectious diarrhea germs.
Pasteur discovered that when he
heated milk to a certain degree for a
certain length of time, these harmful
bacteria were destroyed nnd the milk
was safe for drinking. This principle
is the one used in the large commercial
pasteurizing plants in the large cities.
In a survey made several years ago
we learned that 70 per cent of the pop¬
ulation in Illinois outside of Chicago
was without benefit of pasteurization.
So in the research laboratory of the
University of Illinois we worked out a
plan that would allow for home pas¬
teurization. The various steps may
seem complicated the first time, but
after a little practice, you will find
that the routine is very simple. Cer¬
tainly much simpler and less worri¬
some than the care of a sick child
would be.
We devised two simple temperature
indicators containing chemicals that
would “clear” at the desired tempera¬
tures. By the first you can easily tell
when the right heat point is reached;
by the second when the danger point
of coolness is reached and the milk Is
uo longer safe for the haby.
The heat-telling indicator Is a saus¬
age-shaped glass tube 11 rum. in di¬
ameter and 45 inm. long, into which 400
mg. of palmitic acid is placed.
The cooling-point indicator is a glass
tube 4t4 ram. in diameter, approximate¬
ly 8 Inches in length, with a bulb blown
at one end. This bulb Is filled with
menthol, and the open end of the tube
sealed.
With these two tubes, a vacuum bot¬
tle of one quart capacity, and a pan of
more than one quart capacity with a
side lip to facilitate pouring of milk
from pan into bottle, you are ready to
go into the pasteurization business.
The equipment necessary to carry out
this method of pasteurization will cost
less than $3. If you want to pasteur¬
ize more than one quart at a time, then
do not use a larger bottle, but get s*v»
eral quart bottles. The results are
better.
Pasteurization technique:
1. Clean out vacuum bottle with hot
soap wafer several times. Rinse well
with water about 160 degrees F., fill
bottle with this water and let stand.
2. Wash the stopper well, place in
a pan of water and boil for ten min¬
utes. Pour water out of pan, leaving
the clean stopper in the pan.
3. Clean the lipped pan well and
pour a quart of strained milk Into It.
Milk should be less than 12 hours from
the cow.
4. Drop Indicator No. 1 into the
milk. Place pan on stove and bring
temperature of milk up slowly, stirring
constantly with a clean spoon.
5. When the indicator becomes
transparent, the temperature of the
milk has reached 145. Remove milk
from stove immediately and take out
Indicator with the spoon.
6. Pour the hot water out of the
vacuum bottle.
7. Pour the hot milk Into the bot¬
tle. Seal with stopper.
8. Set the bottle in a w-arm cupboard
In the kitchen.
9. Do not use this milk until It has
stood In the vacuum bottle for at least
one hour.
10. When ready to use the milk, hold
one end of Indicator No. 2 In the hand
and put the bulb end down Into the
milk In the bottle. Hold for two to
four minutes. If the milk is above 115,
the bulb will clear. If below, it will
remain opaque.
11. If the bulb clears, pour out
enough milk for a feeding and replace
the stopper, and put the bottle Sack
into the cupboard.
12. If the buib does not clear, the
milk is unsafe for the baby. It can
then be used In cooking or set aside
to sour.
If this technique is followed carefully,
the milk usually stays safe for about
eight to ten hours, so that a pasteuriza¬
tion in the morning and one in the eve¬
ning will give the baby safe milk all
the time.

MOST AILMENTS

AT EARLY STAGE
The 1934 sheeting of the Indiana
State Medical association offered to
Indiana doctors a wealth of techni¬
cal information on the latest devel¬
opments in the treatment of human
ailments, but its most significant
phase from the standpoint of laymen
was tlie emphasis placed on the im¬
portance of diagnosis and treatment
of disease in Us early stages. When
an ailing patient goes to a doctor
for treatment, tlie responsibility for
using all that science knows in com¬
bating the ailment lies with tlie doc¬
tor. The primary responsibility of
seeking competent medical advice at
the first suggestion of trouble, how¬
ever, rests with the patient
Tlie emphasis in medicine in re¬
cent years lias graduated from at¬
tempted cure of disease after it has
developed, to disease prevention.
While treatment of disease in its
early stages Is not true prevention,
it virtually is next to prevention.
Tlie medical profession iitis shown
that many of the dread illnesses of
tlie body often are curable if tlie
treatment begins In Hie early stages
when symptoms first appear. If a
person values his health, he first
will observe simple precautions in
living that will prevent disease nnd
at the same time will act quickly if
symptoms of an ailment appear.
Speakers on the subject of cancer,
at the doctors’ meeting, were au¬
thority for tlie statement that most
of ttie toll of life claimed by the dis¬
ease would be prevented if victims
recognized potentialities of danger

sores that fail to heal and unnatu¬
ral bleeding and lumps in organs of

Why
Liquid Laxatives
are Back in Favor
The public is fast returning to the use
of liquid laxatives. People have
iearned that the right dose of a
properly prepared liquid laxative will
bring a more natural movement with¬
out any discomfort at the time, or
after.
The dose of a liquid laxative can be
varied to suit the needs of the in¬
dividual. The action can thus be
regulated. A child is easily given the
right dose. And mild liquid laxatives
do not irritate the kidneys.
Doctors are generally agreed that
senna is a natural laxative. It does
not drain the system like the cathar¬
tics that leave you so thirsty. Dr.
Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is a liquid
laxative which relies on senna for its
laxative action. It gently haljps the
average person’s constipated bowels
until nature restores their regularity.
You can always get Dr. Caldwell’s
Syrup Pepsin at any drug store, ready
for use.
