HOSPITALITY FIRST

dropped into a Broadway restau
rant very early the other morn
ing, or very late the other night,
any way you want to put it.
He sat at a table and waited
—and waited. Three waiters, at
a table in the rear, were earnest
ly playing pinochle. Finally, aft-|
er long minutes, the propreitor
sauntered through and caught I
the situation at a glance.
“That’s how it is!” he roared.
“I got three waiters and they
can’t even wait on one lousy cus
tomer!”
NO WONDER!
A gravedigger worked with
such enthusiasm that he found
to his horror he couldn’t climb
out of the hole he had just dug.
So he yelled “Get me out of here.
Get me out of here.”
A man driving by heard his
shouts, got out of his car, and
came over to see what was go
ing on. Peering down into the
open grave, he heard its occu
pant say: “Get me out of here.
I’m cold.”
“No wonder you're cold,” said
the man looking down, “you got
no dirt on ya.”

House and Home
Usually those foods we par
ticularly like to eat are frowned
upon and not considered “good
for us” while those which we
merely tolerate or eat under pro
test are the ones the experts say
will make us healthy, wealthy
and wise. But in the luscious
strawberry we find something
that actually is good for us in
spite of the fact that we like it.
Thanks to the scientists who
have studied and experimented
we may even feel a certain
amount of virtue in consuming l
any quantity of the fruit.
According to these helpful re
searchers, strawberries are re-1
markably good mineral substi-1
tutes for oranges. And although |
I slightly lower in lime they are
four times higher in iron con
i tent per unit of weight than
oranges, and a good deal richer
in protein, though a pound of ■
berries, which is about a quart!
as purchased, supplies approxi
mately the same number of cal
i cries as a pound of oranges.
Mothers will be particularly
interested t® know that the C
\ vitamin rates about as high in
berries as it does in oranges.
However, vitamins A and B, the
I growing and building substances,
are lower in berries than in the
citrus fruit. The strawberry holds
only half the A value and one
third the B value of the orange.
mere is good reason to be
lieve that berries actually help
the body to make use of other
elements in the diet. Thus they
are not only valuable in them
selves, but increase the value of
accompanying foods in the daily
menu.
If you want to use strawber
! ries as a substitute for oranges,
i remember their deficiencies and
be sure that the berries are per
fectly ripe and don’t deluge them
with sugar. Remember, too, that
oranges have been found to be
effective in reducing body acid
ity while strawberries have not
been proved on this point.
I Canned strawberries are so
wddely used that they also have
come under the experimenter’s
eye. Scientific research has dis
covered that commercially can
ned and home-canned berries
put up by the hot-pack and
pressure methods lose practical
ly no vitamin C content through
the canning process. Berries put
up by the open-kettle method
favored by our grandmothers,
lose their vitamin C content be
cause this vitamin is destroyed
primarily by air. Heat hastens
the destruction when air is pres-)
ent, but in the absence of. air
has little effect. This explains
why berries canned by processes
which exclude air retain vita
min C.
The woman who lives in a
small town or in a community
easily accessible to berry mar
kets will find it profitable to do
her own canning. The hot water;
bath—hot-pack—and the steam ;
pressure cooker represent satis -'
factory equipment for home can- j
ning. She will undoubtedly want
to make a few jars of strawber
ry preserves, if she can spare the
sugar.
SUCCESSFUL
PARENTHOOD
BATH OF CHILD IS
ALWAYS IMPORTANT
A baby takes to soap almost
as naturally as to food, and
usually tries to do the same thing
with it. But a soft wash cloth
and mother’s gentle, competent
hands—hands that don't let the
soap sting the eyes or tickle in
the ear canal—soon teach a child
that having soap lathered on the
body is pleasanter than eating
it. This is the beginning of per
sonal cleanliness, the habit of
thoroughly covering oneself with
velvety suds at bath time. With
mother standing by (for of
course you never leave a small
child alone in the bath tub) let
the youngster do her own suds-

Then give her a quick once-over
with a soapy cloth for spots she
has missed. Next a thorough
rinse, preferably with a spray
so the water will be clean, and
then whisk her into the folds of
a warm, absorbent towel. Finish
with soothing, sweet-smelling
preparations from baby’s own
toilet box. Warm baths are a
stimulant to some, a sedative to
others. Remember this when fix
ing the time of your child’s bath. |
whether before bedtime or aft
er a nap.
Comes the time when baths
may seem to the child to inter
fere with play or, if at the end
of the day, may mean a painful j
postponement of sleep. Yet these
are the years when thorough j
bathing is especially important,
for sketchy baths during child- I
hood have been known to con-:
tribute to the skin trouble of I
early youth. So to keep baths
interesting and fun, call on bars
of soap, lively with color and
scent, and all the other fragrant ■
bath accessories dear to little
girls’—and big girls’—hearts. But
don’t stop with lures—a child
has to be taught how to take a
bath, just as you have to learn
the knack of putting hair in
curlers. Such techniques as rub
bing soap between the toes, for
instance, to discourage any fun- '
gi which may be trying to find a i
foothold (if we may be pardoned '
the pun)—of sudsing the arm-j
pits and the creases around the :
thighs are just a few of the I
safeguards which a bath should
include. And always bathing
should be pleasant, one of the
day’s delights.
In audiden to a daily bath hy-!
giene demands clean hands and •
face before eating and appear
ance double checks the necessity.;
But don’t expect the child to
take over this task entirely un-'
til he has learned to wring the
cloth to nondrippy moistness,
how much soap to use and how;
to rinse it off. Because part of
his failure to do a satisfactory
job is lack of washing technique,
not contrariness, as many par
ents believe.
We’ve mentioned before the
importance of gaining the mod
ern point of view about chil
dren’s habits. For too long they
had moral connotations; chil
dren who didn’t keep clean were
naughty, those who tore their
clothes were positively wicked,
those who let their petticoats
hang were immodest, and so
forth. Now we know that such
daily chores as bathing and
dressing are habits, and that if
they are acquired with faulty
techniques the individual thus
handicapped will be awkward in
performing them. Since, how
ever, given normal muscle co
ordination it is easy to learn
proper techniques as wrong ones,
parents should take the time and
trouble to teach these manual
skills and not expect them to be
learned through moral precept.

MILK A LA TRAY
The mistress was exacting, and
she had the new maid flustrated.
One of her orders was to bring
a glass of milk every evening at
7 o’clock. The first evening the
maid appeared with the glass of
milk in her hand.
“Jane,” said the mistress very
sharply, “don’t ever do that
again. Always bring it on a tray.”
The following evening Jane
appeared at the door with a wor
ried look on her face and a tray
full of milk in her hands.
“Excuse me, ma’am,” she said
anxiously, “but do I bring a
spoon with this, or do you lap it
up?”

“You know, it’s almost as if we
