FHA Outlines Precautions To Make Stairways Safe By RUTH CURRF.NT Slate Home Demonstration Agent GOOD DESIGN MAKES STAIR STEPS SAFER?Here are some of the tiiiiiimuni requirements for safe stairs, as outlined by the Federal Housing Authority. Don't neglect handrails They are a great safety feature Install a handrail on at least one side of each stairway, and stairs open on both sides, such as those often found in basements, should have railings on both sides. Open stair wells, often found in attics, also re quire the protection of railings. Provide illumination for both interior and exterior steps and stairs. Install a night light at the top of stairs, and use three - way light switches on all Stairs. Use non-slip treads. Carpeting and rubber matting is good if se- i cunely fastened. Non-slip paint can also be used, and on concrete steps rough up the surface of the tread. Construction of safe stairs and steps in farm homes can go a long way toward reducing the number of injuries and deaths resulting from falls. To point up the seriousness of the problem. 1955 statistics show that about one-half of the 28.000 home deaths were the result of falls, many of which occurred on stairs and steps. FLAVOR AND FOOD VALUE FROM DAIRY PRODUCTS?Dairy research specialists say most American families spend from 25 to 50 per cent of their income for food This is a good feason to select your food wisely*in order to get best value for your dollar. Three glasses of milk each day can provide more than one-third of i the protein you need to maintain good health and vigor. Poor eating habits can contribute to early aging, and it is never too soon to improve your well-being by improving your diet. The easiest way to add important nutrients to your meals is to form the habit of J serving a glass of milk with each meal. Dairy products contribute more to the flavor and food value of meals than any other food group. ? - '' ~~ I Folk With High Blood Pressure Prescribed Rules The thousands of Tarheels who suffer from high hlood pressure j were urged today by Dr. Edward P.

Since he i makes little fuss, she has no i occasion then to let him "cry it i out." But another mother will i allow such nuisances to develop 1 until her sleep, her husband's i and perhaps even the sleep of the entire household is Interrupted several times each night And what about the Infant? j Does he get sufficient sleep? For i how many months and years will ( this child continue to be a ty- < rant? Should the mother wait until he Is old enough so that she can correct him by persuasive < reasoning? What will this wait ing cost her and the child? Is : there any certainty, furthermore, i that such.ways would succeed? Gradual Correction The mother may decide to cor rect these nuisances gradually by letting him cry for a few minutes before surrendering to his de mands. She may let him cry a bit longer the next time before she succumbs, then a little longer the. next time and so on, but mean-, while the youngster Is eventually, rewarded for crying. The longer, he labors, the greater his reward when he wins. An Iowa mother writes of her baby, seven months old: "During the last month she has beeh waking up two or three times a night and crying until I go to her, feed and rock her back1 ?a aUan I -At first I thought she might be uncomfortable; but she Is sel dom wet or cold and I'm certain ! not hungry, as she will nurse only about two minutes and fall fast asleep. When she wakes up again, no matter how long or hard she has cried, she wiil stop the min ute I walk in. Cry ft Oui "We have tried letting her cry it out but she wili cry an hour and by that time my husband and I can't bear to let her keep sn crying." I wrote this mother as follows: Ton will have to decide after consultation with your physician, whether to let this child cry until she wears herself out and goes back to sleep or to continue obey ing her demands. Of course, your doctor might find a solution in a change of her diet and ways and times of feeding her by day. See ft Through But if you decide to let her cry it out, resolve to see it through, though she should cry very much longer than an hour. It might take several nights before the matter Is settled. Unless you and your husband mean to do this, why let her cry at all? Why not go to her as soon as possible when she stirs or cries?
