Children who hold their breath
when angered are a constant source OF
worry and annoyance to their parents
The habit on the part of the child was
not ever supposed to result seriously,
but the following from the Albuquer:
que Democrat seems to Indicate that it
sometimes does: "The l7-mOntbs-Old
| child of Mr.. and Mrs. d. S. Dickinson
had narrow escape from death
Wednesday afternoon. This youngster
Is the possessor of q temper that is not
| entirely angelic, and he has acquired
| the perpiciOus habit of holding his
breath as long as possible prior to
emitting big roar when things don't
go to suit him. His father picked him
up Wednesday and placed him on the
bed, which procedure grievously en-.
| ranged the irfantile anarchist, who
| thereupOn beat all known records and
held his breath until he could ouly
control 1t again after a doctor had
labored with him faithfully for a hall
hour.''

Pupils attending the Central schoo
complain that the heating apparatus i:
very poor this year. Many of then
have contracted severe colds as q con
sequence. It seems that the larg,
stoves in various rooms are kept over
headed most of the time. The windows
are kept open for ventilation, creatin,
dangerous draughts. The halls ar,
not heated at all, and the children
passing from hot rooms through colo
corridors are subjected to sudden
changes that are far from being health
full.
