HINT-OF-THE-DAY
If a child possesses his own aids
to body health and cleanliness he
is more likely to use them. “My
very own hair brush” —“My very
own tooth paste” — makes him
proud. If he is taught how to use
them and why he must use them, a
mother will have little difficulty in
getting him to do so.
Of course all children go through
that obstinate age when any sug-
gestion is vetoed, when every re
quest calls forth a lengthy argu
ment. But even during this stage
of growing pains the child is quite
likely to slip off and do what he has
been told to do after he has satis
fied his ego by displaying his obsti-
nance, that is, Zioviding his earlier

Children Often Victims
Since the discovery of the close

the ability to see in dim light, sci-
entists have tested large numbers
of school children to determine
whether vitamin A was present in
their diet in adequate amounts.
It was revealed that from 26 to 79
