Smoking does not always

soothe

Too much smoking gives rise to throat-irritation with its attendant discomforts. There is nothing better than the "Allenburys' Glycerine and Black Currant Pastilles to allay this irritation and clear the voice. Their delicious flavour refreshes the palate and renders the next pipe or cigarette more enjoyable.

PLEA FOR TEACHING MOTHERCRAFT TO GIRLS.

** QUACK " - WARNING.

Thirty thousand fewer children died in 1927 than in 1991, thanks to the efficiency of school medical services. This is one of many in- teresting facts recorded by Sir George Newmar, chief medical officer of the Board of Education, in his report, issued, on "The Health of the School Child.”

these are having their effect in leading the adolescent into easy- going ways. But the nation's needs remain the same.

It cannot survive without strong and healthy young work- men, mentally alert, sober minded, keen and diligent in business; and strong and healthy young women, domestically skilful and able to be come "wise mothers and home- builders.

Clothing, dietary, regular body habits, and exercise are of primary importance in the maintenance of health," he adds, "but we must beware of fads and faddiate in all four..

The vital needs of the body are few and simple.'

Sir George sounds another warn- ing note in the question pleasure-seeking.

It is his opinion that the phy sique of the child. leaving school to-day is better. He says, "His health is better, and he loses less. time from his work owing to sick HA 17

The report also contains a ples. for the training of girls ia mother...

"It would be difficult," the re port says, to exaggerate the im- portance and even necessity of the teaching of mothercraft to girls and young women. If every wo- man understood the ordinary care and management of herself and her baby, much discomfort, malnutri- tion, sickness, and even premature mortality would be avoided, and the burden of maternal suffering would be immensely relieved.”

It states that the teaching of mothercraft might be divided con- ofveniently into three periods:-(1) Instruction to elder girls at the elementary or new senior schools; (2) to girls from fourteen to eighteen years of age in secondary and continuation schools; and (3) to the expectant and nursing. mother at maternity centres.

"There is," he says, “a tide of pleasure secking, on the one hand not unreasonable in itself, and there is an astonishing fertility of commercial substitutes for genuine domesticity on the other hand, and
