They sometimes go SO far as to hold up
the little ones failings to scorn, not only
before other members of the family, but
before strangers. Haw can they be 50
heartless? Grown UP people experience a
bitter sting of modification when their
shortcomings are revealed TO a third per-
son, even If that person be one upon
whose love and forbearance they can de-
pend, and the recollection of It Will rankle
in their memories for many an hour.
So.
To keenly sensitive people aay reminis-
cence which takes the mind back to that
time will In years after revive the burn
ing sense of shame and modification and
annoyance. How much more cruel is it
then to subject a helpless little child to
such sufferingi Not only for that reason
should the practice be stopped, but 1t is
injudicious as well as cruel.

with whom he comes in contact know all

He feels that though. he may behave ever

At all times and under all circumstances
a child's fault should be kept a secret
between his parents and himself. An ac-
auired fault can usually be corrected by
gentle admonitions. and severe punish-
ment is seldom; necessary. An Inherited
fault is much more difficult to deal with,
and requires even more patience on the
part of the parents. for we cannot be too
tender and patient with the little ones
whom we bring into the world nus fet-
tered.
AS soon as a child is old enough to IN
derstand ne should be told OF his failings.
and be made to feel how necessary it is
TO his own Well being and to the heppi-
ness of all who love him that he should
do all in his power TO break himself of
his faults.
If proper training is begun at an early
age there is hope that d fault may be en-
tirely overcome, or at least made subject
to the control of the reasoning. powers.
Sufferers from oiliness of skin must. of
course, first consider what produces this
cure 1t.
It is caused by either weakness or some
disorder Of the system, and the diet should
be carefully attended TO first Of all. Rich
foods of all kinds must be given up, and
plain nursery cooking, with plenty of
fruit and vegetables, taken instead.
Hot, ill-ventilated rooms must be avoid
ed. as well as late hours and heavy bed
clothing. Plenty of. outdoor exercise must
be a daily item in our life. A daily bath
of tepid water. douche baths, and an occa-
sional Turkish baths must be taken. But
this last must never be taken except I'M
der medical. orders.
Aperient medicines should be taken in
the morning. and fresh fruit eaten while
31essing. Apples or oranges are advised
this hour. II fresh fruit is difficult
~ obtain, French plums figs dipped in
Oil. or prunes, mas be taken instead.
Salads should be eaten for breakfast and
lunch; water crosses and dandelion can
be advantageouEly used for this purpose
rs well as lettuce.
As to the treatment of the skin Itself,
shss must be most carefully attended to.
The skin Of the body must be well rubbed
with a loofah or an electric brush, and to
the bath water berax. vinegar or carbon
ate OF soda can be added.
For the face. Of course, different treat
ment IL required. Borax can. however,
be used IN water. and, when possible. only
rainwater must touch the complexion.

How old should my little boy be be-
fore I break him of having his after
noon naps?" asked a young mother.
I confess I felt just a little surprised
to think that any mother could ever
think of breaking up the little folks

during the day when the little ones who
can be persuaded to take a nap, are en-
jcying that luxury. are very refreshing
portions of the day to the average mother.
And a wise mother will not break her lit
tie ones of taking daytime maps at all,
but let them enjoy them just as long as
they will. even until they are old enough
to go to school, although they will prob
ably object TO the daytime maps some
time before that period
Mothers seldom realize how many stems
these little feet take during the day

grow tired because their owners are so
busy that they don't have time to think
whether they are tired or not. But. not

good, refreshing nap would get them all
right again.
But. then, II they have a nap during
