The Education of Boys.

In The Delineator for November Mrs.
Theodore w. Birney has suggestive
paper on "The Education of Boys as
Future Fathers and Citizens. The gist
of her argument IS that boys seldom
receive the sympathy to which they are
entitled mot q maudlin, sentimental
sympathy that is calculated to spoil the
child, but an intelligent comprehension
of his needs and an interest in his
doings and belongings. Her conclu.
sion is that if parents will only take a
genuine interest in all things that in-
terest their boys they can hold their
confidence, and 50 long as they possess
that they can be reasonably sure that
their sons will not go far wrong. Pa
rents are wont to look on the problems
OF youth with the eyes of an adult.
How much good would result to many
little fellows if their parents would
come down to their view point, or come
up perhaps, recognizing the limitations
of their inexperienco and iudging their
deeds and misdeeds in the light of it.
The rule of the rod is past, and mas
much as the new order Of things has
brought much happiness into the lives
of the little ones, so will better un-
derstanding of the boy nature on the
part of parents benefit them immeas-
urably.

The Royal Month and the Royal Disease

Sudden changes of weather are es-
pecially trying, and probably to none
more so than to the scrofulous and con-
sumptive. The progress of scrofula
during a normal October is commonly
great. We never think of scrofula
during normal October is commonly
great We never think of scrofula-
its punches, cutaneous eruptions, and
and wasting of the bodily substance
without thinking of the great good
many sufferers from it have derived
from Hoods Sarsaparilla, whose radi-
cal and permanent cures of this one
disease are enough to make it the most
famous medicine in the world. There
is probably not city or town where
Hoods Sarsaparilla has not proved its
merit in more homes than one, in ar
resting and completely eradicating
scrofuIa, which is almost as serious
and as much TO be feared as its near
relative consumption.

We hope that all the mothers of this

ment of DR.. Moifett's teething powders
(Teethina) that has been appearing in
this paper, as it comes to us highly
endorsed by the best people of the land
who have used it. Teethina is not a
patent medicine but favorite prescrip-
ton of DR.. G. J. Moffett, who gradua-
ted at the Jefferson Medical College,
Philadelphia, Pa, and has had much
experience in the treatment of children,
and his Teethina becoming so popular
he was forced to abandon the general
practice to devote his time to the man
ufacture of these powders that have
saved the lives of thousands of children.
1t is claimed that nothing equals them
for the irritations of teething and the
summer troubles of children of any
age, and no mother with small children
should be without them.
