growing pains,”
Jean'n mother seemed a little put out at having been asked to attend the medical examination for such a simplò matter when she had dinner to get ready, but the doctor explained quicily that these growing pains should never be ignored seeing that they were so often a definite sign of rheumatism.
Jean's Rest Cure
One look at Jean's pale cheeks and dark-alındowed eyes made me feel that she was all too true in her remark, and when the child's heart was sounded wo knew the rest.
She was definitely a rheumatic sub- ject and was recommended for a special
Rheumatism Cilnic.
"The specialist there may possibly advise that Jean should go to n.com. valescent bome for a time," she ex- plained gently to the mother, “and I do hope that you will agree to this for your girlie's sake."
She went on to explain that only rest would lead to a complete cure, and that in these apeelal homes Jean would azili be able to have lessons from a gov. erners who taught the children in the words,

methods, hundreds of otherwise hope icas cares had been cured through tha special clinic. Immediately after Jean, came a child who stated that she al ways felt tired "in her legs"! Small wonder, for she was definitely flat- footed, the arches at both feet having given way sulously under the weight of her body,
I noticed that she was wearing beel less sandshoes, and apparently she had chosen this footwear herself with the Idea that it would rest her feet.
"Not a bit of it, Nellie," the doctor explained to her gravely. "What you want, dear, are special exercises to help to make these arches under your fect strong again and a heel to your shora to coax those bones back into the right position."
Sho was recommended to the ortho- predic specialist who would give her special exercises twice a week, and I maden point of procuring a copy of those exercises, which I shall be de lighted to send to any parents whoso children suffer in like manner. Incl dentally they are equally useful for adults.
Talking Troubles
No. 3 on the list was a nice-looking Ittle boy called Donald, who was affected with a bad stammer.
The mother told us that he had spoken clearly until he was three, when he had met with a sudden shock. After this he often had a difficulty in commencing a word, and the tendency had steadily increased.
His mother told us that he had
always been highly strang,' and thirt any extra excitement increased n'a dis ability, as did the occasional teasing that he received from en alder sister who was inclined to mimic his speech.
I was not surprised note that Donald was left-handed, too for this condition often accompanies stammer.
Reheating
Hints
ISHES like shepherd's pic that are made with cooked meat, are, apt to grow. dry in the oven. This is avoided if the meat is well- molstened with gravy or stock and a bowl of water is placed at the bottom of the oven.
A fairly hot. oven is best, since
1. In many cases the slammer- ing has been increased by efforts to check the left-handedness. Un- fortunately there was no special Stammerers' Clinic near Donald's home, the doctor suggested other methods for curing the defect. Sho explained to his mother that extra rest was essential for a child who was in the east nervous and highly strung, and she pointed out the necessity for a regular early bedtime
Doctor niso advised that other pleasures should be found for him in pince of visits to the pictures, and thought that i would be better to give the boy a dog of his own or a rabbit in hulch in the back garden where he could look after it quietly.
Next she spoke seriously about not allowing anyone to make fun of his present limitation, and she then went on to recommend special recitations and reading aloud for Donald, and made a note advising that he should be given extra singing lessons.
When he boggles over a word," sho zald finally to his mother, "encourage him to start ngain, taking his time and explain to him dint. If he will only cak olowly, he will manage quito nicely what he wants to say."
Now for a couple of letters, to finish of with.
Cold Catcher
What wear do you recommend for my bay of nine who catches colds fre- quently in winter?—fleston.
BELIEVE that chills are best pre- vented by raising the bodily resis- iance with a careful alet and regular exercise and that colds are due to in- !fection caught from other people.
Let your son wear a light wool vest and trunk pants, cloth knickers and a jersey and keep a blazer or jacket ready for specially cold days.
See that he has an overcont which will keep out cold winds and that his feet are well protected against wet with strong shoes or Wellingtons.
