The table may be decoâ€" rated with zigâ€"zag strips of paper to represent lightning and tiny kites used as place cards. Any simple refreshâ€" ments may be served. A gelatin mold, simple cakes, hot chocolate, hard canâ€" dies and peanuts are nice. A Popular Game There are many games which are appropriate for this occasion and which the children will enjoy. One of the most popular is the game of "Inâ€" ventions." Each child may be given a list of names of inventors who are commonly known. Such persons as Whitney, Watt, Fulton and Wright may: be included. ~Then in a set time a list of the inventions must be writâ€" ten opposite the names. ‘A prize may be awarded the one whose list is most correct. ; The only day in January which gives an excuse for a party, after the New Year celebration is over, is Benâ€" jamin Franklin‘s birthdayâ€"the 17th of the month. For children the party may prove educational as well as enâ€" tertaining. basl & % An easier game of the same type for younger children can be played by having pictures of common pieces of machinery and asking the tots to name them. Aeroplanes, engines, sewing machines, and other things may be among them. To fill in the time â€"any other .children‘s games which are not too boisterous may be arranged. § : Parents have no way of knowing in which classification ‘any particular camp falls. The description of the‘ loâ€" Do You Know That: (1) .. To guard house plants against insects they should be sprayed once a month or oftener with a Ssolution made by dissolving half a cake of soap shaved fine in a quart of boilâ€" ing water and adding four gallons of cold water and then rinsing . with clear water half an hour later ? In view of this vast difference in the hygienic and sanitary conditions prevailing at various camps it is plain that some authoritative body, like the American Public Health Association, should draw up minimum. standard reâ€" quirements for the hygienic and saniâ€" tary control of summer camps for children. And this matter should ‘reâ€" ceive attention NOW, before the next season opens. Camp directors should meet and go into the subject thorâ€" oughly. (2). Pillow cases will last longer if seamless tubing is used for when a case shows wear the same can be ripped at the end, turned and the fold stitched ? The facilities for the care of a sick youngster in campsâ€"medical, surgiâ€" cal or emergencyâ€"vary"from a tent with a cot to a well equipped and fully organized infirmary with fouy beds. The sanitation of the camps varies from a dependence on unconâ€" trolled springs with inadequate disâ€" posal of sewage to a carefully conâ€" trolled milk supply, water and food supply, hot and cold water, shower baths, screened cabins, paved walks, modern. plumbing and daily inspection of the children. (3)â€" _Cards for the recipe file will last much longer it, after the recipe is typed or pasted on the card, the card is gone over with clear shellac or waterproof varnish ?â€" & Parents, who zealously guard the health of their children during the winter months, send them away to a summer â€"camp without any thought of the possible dangers to which they may there be subjected. To show that this is no empty statement léet us look: at the facts and figures brought to light by a survey of camps made during the last summer. v Varied Medical Attention The medical attention â€"available varies from nothing at all to the presâ€" ence of a practical nurse, to the emâ€" ployment ‘of several graduate nurses, to the residence of a physician within twentyâ€"five miles, to the employment of internes, and finally to the presâ€" ence of a licensed physician who deâ€" votes all his time to problems of saniâ€" tation and health in the camp in which he is stationed. (4) ~A real cedar closet can be made at the expense of only twentyâ€" five cents for oil of cedar which, when the closet is perfectly dry afâ€" ter cleaning, is rubbed over the woodâ€" work and floor with a cloth ? (5) If one does not have a movâ€" able faucet on the sink, a piece of rubber tubing attached to either faucet is very useful for it can be used to rinse off the sink after scourâ€" ing, to rinse dishes that have been put in a drain pan, to foree water down the drain pipe to keep it cleaned out or to fill a tub or any large vessel without any lifting ? These figures mean. that the sumâ€" mer camp is an established instituâ€" tion and has attained a size that makes it a factor for good or evil of no small dimensions. Notwithstanding this, there are only two states which provide for regular inspection of these camps by their health departâ€" ments. ols During the past season over 15,000 summer camps for children were opâ€" erated in the United States. The numâ€" ber of boys and girls who were in these camps at one time or another during the summer of 1928 ran into the millions. SUMMER CAMPS FOR CHILDREN BY DR.â€"ARTHUR L.

A man whose young son was taking violin lessons thought it would be a good idea to take the boy to Kreisler‘s concert to inspire and enâ€" courage him to persevere. But when he got down to the hall he was told that there were no shilling seatsâ€"no seats left at any price. j ~‘"Heaven save us!" exclaimed the father. Do you mean to tell me that there‘s folk in Aberdeen payin‘ tenâ€" an‘â€"six to hear a fiddler?" He was assured that the hall was packed to suffocation. For a minute or two he said nothing, but his lips were moving in a sort of silent calculation. Then suddenly he pulled his boy towards him, gave him a biff in the ear, and remarked in a voice hoarse with emoâ€" tion: "Now will you practise ?" All the way from New York comes a new story concerning John D..Rockeâ€" feller, the multiâ€"millionaire. A young man asked his advice as to how best to get on in the world. "Work hard and set yourself to buy a gold watch," was the reply. "«Yes," queried the listener;. "and when you‘ve bought the gold watch?" "You don‘t buy a gold watch," reâ€" plied Mr. Rockefeller, "you buy a gunâ€" metal one and start all over â€"again for a motor car." s "And whenyou‘ve got the. money for a motor car ?" [ "Well, you remember. the .watech, if you‘re not a!fool, andâ€"go on walking to" business." ( ' RECIPES ‘Eggs in Pepper Ramekins Cut green peppers in half and use for ramekins. Remove seeds and parboil until tender. Break an egg into each shell, season and sprinkle with buttered bread crumbs. Bake until eggs are set. . Serve hot with white sauce. (Copyright, 1928, by The Bonnetâ€" Brown Corporation, Chicago) Soup prepared in this way may be kept for three or four days except in very hot weather, if the entireâ€"quanâ€" tity is heated to the boiling point each time before using. Egg may be given in soup, if desirâ€" ed, by stirring one wellâ€"beaten egg inâ€" to one cup of hot soup until the egg becomes finely curdled. A For young infants, strain, pressing the vegetables with the back of a large spoon. The liquid will be eloudy. For older infants press the vegetables through a sieve, adding one or more teaspoonfuls of pulp to small:â€"â€"cup of liquid. E How to Make Vegetable Soup Mother writes: "Will you be good enough to give me a recipe for preâ€" paring vegetable soup for my baby." Reply Here is the recipe, as taken from the Baby Cook Book, published by,the Lactropon Laboratories. . Incidentally if you will send a stamped selfâ€"adâ€" dressed envelope to me at 30 North Michigan Ave., Chicago, IIl., I will supply you with one of these books which contains recipes â€"for all foods that children up to the age of six years are supposed to eat. This offer is open to all readers of, this paper. Vegetable Soup ‘/ lueup carrots; 1 potato; 1 .cup turâ€" nips; 2 stalks celery;â€" Handful of spinach« (other vegetables. may . be substituted); 1 tablespoonâ€" pearl barâ€" ley; 2 tablespoons rice; 14 â€"pound lamb stew; or /4 cup serapedâ€"or chopâ€" ped beef or 1 soupbone; 1:teaspoon salt; Water to cover. â€"Cut meat into pieces. Chop vegetables until fine, or put through meat grinder. Cover with water, using as little as possible, and boil slowly until very soft. =; Are we going to attend to this NOW, or are we going to follow our usual custom of waiting until a cataâ€" clysm snuffs out the lives of a hunâ€" dred children? I wonder! Every summer camp should be comâ€" pelled to comply with certain standâ€" ards and there is still plenty of time for the proper authorities to formuâ€" late requirements and for camp di~ rectors to lay plans for their execuâ€" tion. Preventive medicine is scarcely that when it doesn‘t begin to funcâ€" tion until after the lives of several hundred have been sacrificed, not a remote possibility in view of the conâ€" ditions listed above. NEW CANADIAN SENATOR T. _E. Prevost, member of â€"the House of Commons, who has been chosen to fill the Quebec Province vacancy in the Senate, cation, climate, sanitary conditions, food, water supply, etc., are . often gross exaggerations. Many of these summer camps for children are little better from a hygienic and sanitary standpoint than the army camps of the last century. And we all know what often happened in them. _ QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS THE WESTONX TNMES % CUIDE â€" W EDNE SDAY, JaANUARY 9, 1939
