A nervous, irritable mother, often ON
the verge Of Mysteries, Is unfit to care
for children; It ruins . child's DISPOSE
ton and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she Is entirely unft to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; it is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.

Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness, alternating with

easily affected, SO that one minute you
