/o?^ o&tion Pi 2>?- Ji+M D(rn.uk, !&{???*?? JV+ilwt cAma.\U+m *R im?im ^uin i - ^ Where does Ait caret from? We imagine the artist: solitary, alone in* garret, or on an island, searching the soul for wherever feelings x dreams ; or memories may be hidden there - ; which may be pulled out through ? creative abandon, out by hard work ! and blistered hands, or stained hands. | or crippled hands - pulled out of stone, of paint, of beads, of clay - pulled out, given lift, set free into the collective consciousness - set free from loneliness to a plane where everyone can see. Art can be a very private and personal thing. But Art also expresses more than any single artist. It expresses a culture, an idea, a universe of symbols and shared meanings, a certain time, a particular place, a specific history la a sense everyone in that culture, in that time and place and history, is responsible for creating that Art -- everyone responsible for lending it whatever meaning or value or purpose it may have. If no one tees it as Art, what is it then? And what is Indian Art? Isitshell bead! and bone and feather? Is it clay brought up from underground by loving, straining hands? Is it carved on the face of a rock, on a cliff, in a cave? Is it locked in time, only to live in the past when cowboys and Indians rode the Plains? That is - Indian Art. but is that all? When the modern Indian takes up an airbrush, or computer graphics, - raku or batik or silkscreen print, and tries to find in it some piece of himself, or some peace fx herself - some expression of her spirit, some venting of his soul - is that not Indian Art too? 1 say it is. Fx if we would bind art into a narrow box where only certain things I would fit, where only certain 1 definitions would apply, who then 1 would get to my which dungs were Aft and which wen not? Not I . Not ' you. Who then ' Art must be like Freedom, either free or chained - either Art or nothing Does it express? Does it I refine? Does it uplift? Does it make beautiful? Does it capture? Did an * Indian make it? Then it is Indian Art! And what is the difference between Art and Craft? Craft is what 1 we use - Art, what we enjoy It seems so simple, but isthatall? How ' if we enjoy what we use. or use what we enjoy? How if we make a basket beautiful, or make a painting ' instructive? How if the beaded moccasins have such a glow they ' almost dance without their feet? Are 1 they not Art? And if not Art, what 1 then is Art that we should want to see it? Webster tells us Art is "creative 1 work, making or doing things that' 1 display form, beauty and unusual perception." and that Craft is distinguished from Art "in its application toa lesser skill involving little or no creative thought." There, that's clear enough But be careful what you call "a lesser skill" or "creative thought" lest you find yourselfback in that narrow box where Art and Freedom cannot live. The ancient Aztec tell us: "The artist ? disciple, abundant, multiple, restless, capable, practicing, skill ful; maintainsdialogue with his heart, meets things with his mind, draws out all from his heart; works with delight; makes things with calm, with sagacity, works like a true Toltec. composes his objects, works dexterously; invents; arranges I So what is Art7 The Art of any . uiture tells m dories of the people It tells about their pest, what kind of world they come from, and how what happened in that pest has shaped the present. It tells what is important? ?hat symbols they uphold, what they Perish, what neons something to hem. It shows how they feel. * lhdian Art is a vast and mysterious mosaic. In it we see patterns of what is and what is yet to be. Itisavision if a culture, or at least a glimpse of their collective vision of the world within and around them. Itisavision is old as the land itself. Art is a window into the room of culture. It is a window with many panels, representing the many media and styles used by the artists. The vision gained into that room of culture is a visionof many angles, of different points of view These many perspectives must be seen as a whole in order to illuminate much of that inner, cultural, room No one person, no single point of view, can adequately describe everything within that room.. Each of us is left to make his or her own final interpretation. Art holds a light beside the window, and calls people of vision to look inside Where does Art come from ' The Spirit.

I thought I'd open this article of infant constipation by telling one of my "grandma stories". 1 had a grandma bring a 6 mooth old in to see me in clinic for constipation. She said she had been giving the baby mineral oil for quite a while, but it didnt seem to be helping. While I was examining the baby I happened to ask the grandma how much min eral oil she had been giving Imagine my surprise when she replied. "Oh. about one teaspoon four times a day...into the belly button!" Now I dcml knock home remedies. bu( this one caught me off guard' Remember that true constipation occura when an infant has hard bowel movements with very little moisture in them. Keep in mind that the fre quency of bowel movements may have nothing to do with constipa tion Anywhere from 3 stools per day to 1 stool every 3 days-may still be normal for any given child. And remember that baby's ut the first few months of life have imma ture bowels that may effect the way they peas stools. I remember with my daughter that she would grunt strain, turn red in the face and scream bloody murder but then she would pass a perfectly normal soft stool. This is not true constipation, and an infant will outgrow this behavior in time. Most cases of true constipation can be relieved by just giving the infant a little extra water or juice to loosen up the bowel movements Some parents will put a teaspoon of Kara Syrup in the baby's formula to help soften the stools An occasional glycerin suppository is also OK. but ?? ?? ? ?i an .ma Uaai< doel use them loo frequently. 0* baby's bowels caa become depen dent oo them uaagaractal tfMrmometer will stimu late the bowela to move BecarcfoJ lime in bin fr noiilar Ituueu slty diarrhea. not cons&peQoa. tbst is a sign of the formula disagreeing with ibe baby, aodmrt be tooquicfcib make s change, (Well talk about h may bo wise wilb young infants lo tives.

I Pharmacist | tt^zrdflr8^ ( | DM HI W . ? < Remember tetanus shots? j Tetanus, or 'lock-jaw', la a disease that's not very common anymore, but as a recent medical encyclopedia states, "it is so dangerous to life and causes such great suffering that every reasonable means should be used to prevent it" Tetanus is caused by a specific germ that forms spores which, when they find their way in to a deep wound (like stepping on a nail), they grow and produce their toxin. And by the way, brand new shiney nails, when stepped on, are as dangerous as old nipty ones when it comes to tetanus risks. , We urge you to have tetanus shots, regularly!
