Therea are so many mothers who do lot understand the first elements of
child culture and care that I wonder so many Door children survive. Certainly
these little unfortunates are endowed with remarkable constitutions.
The first thing a mother should know is how and what to feed a baby-and
what not to feed it. The fevers of most children are not caused by catching

The baby mentioned above had collie. I dicoveed. because Its unthinling
mother had gven it milk to rink after having fed it a large dish of sou

then the criminal does not seriously
mind the experience.
When he gets out he will be quite
ready to wreak his spite on the un-
fortunate woman who has him for a

and a more severe fiogging from

The argument against the whip

1t might be answered that the
fellow who beats his wife n
abuses his children can hardly be
very sensitive in the matter of self
respect, and is presumably so far
degraded already that a flashing
won't make any appreciate differ
ence in his moral status, but, apart
from that, it must be said that h
punishment of the criminal has for
one Of it's objects the protection of
the community, and the penalty
which has the greatest protective
value in any particular case is the
penalty to be preferred.
1t has been found necessary to re-
store the whipping post to use in
England, where the lash has served
to put a stop to certain kinds of
crime after every other penalty had
failed, and a similar restoration
would no doubt be really advan-
tageous here, says a writer in the
Philadelphia Inquirer.

That is what Vicar-General Fox
told his hearers in his last Sundays
sermon at Trenton, and while his
words may have surprised some of
those in the congregation. the opin-
ion he expressed is that entertained
by most experts in criminology.
Students of the subject have long
been convinced that the total aboli-
ton of corporal punishment, which
a mistaken conception of humanity
has promoted, has been shown by
experience to be a great mistake.
1t has been attended by a deplor-
able increase in crimes of cruelty
and violence.
There are those upon whom no
other penalty than the infection Of
physical pain has any deterrent in
f1uence. They don't mind a term of
Imprisonment. 1t is NJ great
hardship for them to be deprived
of their liberty so long as they have
enough to eat, a comfortable place
to sleep, and nothing to do. That
