YOUR BOY.
"a boy should be kept in a barrel
and fed through the bung until he is
twenty-one years of age"
Thus Mark Twain.
And OF course Mark exaggerates his
statement for the sake of humor.
A boy is boy, always will be boy
until he is a man, cannot help being
boy all the time and everywhere. You
cannot put an old head on young
shoulders.
An incident:
He comes home from school, drives
in the front door like q catapult, raises
an Indian warwhoop, throws his books
on a chair and his cap into corner
and dives into the depths of friendly
couch.
Whew! And the protests-"Don'tw
Don't yell sov' Don't crush the
cushions! Don't come in with such
dirty shoesr' Don't be so careless
with your capt"
Whereat the boy, who has come into
the house heartful Of boisterous glad
ness, grows sullen and savage. He
goes out, slamming the door behind
him, with a grievance against bis home
| folks
The effect of that is dangerous on the
boy, who cannot be barreled up and
fed through a bunghole.
The boy is naturally rough and bois-
ferrous He is built that way. If he is
ever to be much of a man he must be
loud and full of vitality-with a vent
And the boy prides himself on his
roughness. 1t is his natural method OF
expression. What are to us faults are
in his eyes virtues-such, for instance
as teasing his sister to show his love
for her.
Now, what must be the effect of con
slant scolding and nagging on a boy
thus constituted?
Under his jacket are keen sensibili
ties Reproof for mere blowing of
steam offends him. Constant hostility
by his household frets and hurts hin
to the core. And in order to "get even
he is likely to go wrong.
There is better way.
! It is sometimes difficult, but be gen
tie with the boy. You can lead him
but you cannot drive him-successful
~. Drive him and you get sullen ODE
dience and inward rebellion.
Appeal to the boys manliness. ii
has a lot of it IN him. Trust him ant
he will gratefully respond.
- ~ xfvrf-,
him a task or an errand. And be sur
to thank him when he does well. Tha

DAILY DIET HINTS
BY DR.. T. j. ALLEN
Food Specialist.
R-EATING.

over-eating, an almost univer-
sal practice, is best checked by
eating very slowly and by re-
ducing the number Of articles
eaten at a meal. IL the appetite
be Unsuitable, if Is a good plan
to determine how much to eat,
put that amount upon the plate
and eat no more. A ravenous
appetite is usually a symptom
of digestive disorder, and the
best cure is, as rule, to fast
for d few days. To live on
fruits only for a short time is
very beneficial, especially in
spring. Accumulated waste, due
to oVer-eating, deficient exercise
and living during the winter in
iIl-ventilated and poorly lighted
rooms, often makes an attack
of fever necessary to cleanse
the system. This may be avoid
ed by partial or complete fast
for period varying from one to
80 or 30 days, but an extended
fast should not be undertaken
save under the direction of a
physician.
