herself and she makes all her friends
equally SO.
For the genuine invalid have sim
cere sympathy, for the imitation one,
none. 1t Is simply form Of hysteria
and needs scant sympathy.
A woman takes it into her head that
she Is nervous, that she can't do GER
tain things. Her family, feeling sorry
for her, give in to her, and in q few
months they have an established In
valid on their hands. 1t is pure selfish
ness, for deep in her heart the woman
knows that she is fraud. After
pampering and INDUCING herself for
while her nerves really do go to
pieces and then she is indeed a nervous
wreck.
If she would only make up her mind
to conquer this feeling in the begin
ming she could do so. Let her change
her way Of living, go out more, take
exercise, become interested in a new
book, adopt some interesting fad, any
thing rather than burden herself and
her family with a case Of nerves"
When a woman finds herself getting
tired out mentally and physically it is
a good plan to go to bed for a week
and live on milk, taking three or four
quarts day. She should see no one
more than is absolutely necessary, just
rest and sleep day and night. Or If
she feels she can't do this, let her go
off on a visit for a week or so. 1t may
be hard to do these things, but we all
know the old saying, IAN ounce of
prevention is better than a pound of
cure"
The duties of wife and mother are
many and difficult, bat as she has as
sumed them she should live up to
them, and the woman who allows her
self to become a nervous wreck can
never properly attend to her duties.
Conquer the fancied ailments, the
real ones will come fast enough

The individual life needs to be pre-

who follows fad too much is likely to
find herself growing dissatisfied and

Lesson for Mothers to Heed.

I recently read an account Of a
young man condemned to death for
murder, who when given opportunity
to speak from the scaffold. stated that
he had been brought to his present
condition by the ideas inst1lled into
him by an overindulgent mother, who
had ever taken his part whether he
had been in the right or wrong, and so
had trained him to indulge his own
will and disregard the rights Of others
know a case Of young man con-
fined in the Chicago Jail, the only child
of q devoted and indulgent mother.
Through childhood the mothers loving
heart had ever made excuses for her
boys faults, and she always took the
position that his wrong actions were
justified under the circumstances. By
always excusing her son, whether he
was in the right or wrong, she uncon-
sciously trained him to disregard the
rights Of others and prepared him for
his fall. Coming to Chicago, this
young man secured position Of trust.
Falling In with extravagant compan-
ions, he used his employers money,
not, apparently, being able to appreci-
ate the gravity of his action, until he
could hide it no longer, when he went
East to his mother, apparently think
Ing that somehow his trouble fol.
lowed him-she would be able to pro-
tect him. When officers called for him
In the night he was apparently as
much surprised as was his broken
hearted mother, whom he had not
taken into his confidence. This mother
now blames the boys friends, whom
she accuses Of being the cause Of her
sons downfall, not realizing that the
fault lies in her sons character and,
primarily, in herself, In training her
son to disregard the rights of others.
Many loving mothers are uncon-
sciously SO training their children to-
day, not realizing that they are look
Ing only to the present qualification Of
their children, rather than building up
their characters as a foundation for
success and happiness.-N. James. In
