Jean's mother seemed a little put out at having been asked to attend the medical examination for such a simple matter when she tnd dinner to get ready, but the doctor explained quietly that these growing palua 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 checks and durk-standowed eyes made me feel that she was all too true in her remark, and when the child's heart was sounded wo- knew the TEAL.

She was definitely a rheumatic sub- Ject and was recommended for a special Rheumalium Clinic.

The specialist there may possibly advise that Jean should go to a con- valescent home 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 special homes Jean would still be able to have lessons from a gov. erness who taught the children in the wards.

Immediately after Jean, camo a child who stated that she al ways felt tired "in her legs "1 Small wonder, for she was definitely dat fooled, the arches of both feet having given way seriously under the weight of her body.

I noticed that she was wearing heel- less sandshoes, and apparently she had chosen this footwear herself with the idea that it would rest her feet.

Not a bit of it, Nelile," the doctor explained to her gravely, "What you want, dear, are special exercises to help to make these arches under your feci atrong again and a heel to your shoes to conx those bones back into the right position."

She was recommended to the ortho- paedic specialist who would give her. special exercises twice a week, and r made a point of procuring a copy of those exercises, which I shall be de- lighted to send to any parents whose chlidren suffer in like manner. Incl. dentally they are equally useful for adults.

Talking Troubles

No. 3 on the list was a nice-looking little boy called Donnid, who was affected with a bad stammer.

The mother told us that he had spoken clearly until be was three, when be bad met with a sudden shock. After the he often had a difficulty in commencing a word, and the tendency had steadily increased.

I was not surprised to notice tha Donald was left-handed, too for this condition often accompanies stammer

Reheating Hints

DISHES like shepherd's ple that

are made with cooked meat, are apt to grow dry in the oven. This is avuided if the meat is well- moistened with gravy or stock and a bowl of water is placed at the bottom of the oven.

A fairly hot oven is best, since

ing. In many cases the stammer- ing has been increased by efforts to check the left-handedness. Un- fortunately there was no special Btammerers' Clinic near Donnid's home, so the doctor suggested other methods for curing the defect. Sho explained to his mother that extm rest was casential for a child who was in the east nervous and highly strung. and she pointed out the necessity for a regular carly bedtime.

Doctor Blo advised that other pleasures should be found for him in place of vialts to the pictures, and thought that it would be better to give the boy a dog of his own dr n rabbit In a butch in the back garden where he could look after it quietly,

Next she spoke seriously about not allowing anyone to make fun of hla present limitation, and she then went on to recommend special recitations and reading alout for Donald, and made a note advising that he should be given extra singing lessons.

"When he boggles over a word,” cho naid finally his mother, encourage him to stare again, taking his time and explain to him that, if he will only speak slowly, he will mannge quita nicely what he wants to gny,"

Now for a couple of letters, to finish off with.

Let your son wear a light wool vest and trunk pants, cloth knickers and a Jersey and keep a blazer or jacket ready for specialty cold days.

Never keep a reheated dish in the oven until the top is brown. This generaly means in effect_that the ingredients are recooked. Take It out as soon as it is thoroughly hot all through, dot with butter, and brown under the grill,

This also applies to vegetarian dishes, such as macaroni cheese, the constituents of which are coolted beforehand and are only put into the oven to be healed through and have their flavours well mingled.
