Do you know there are men Just like

They have never been broke to the

The horse must learn to be birdie

law of Cd which demands that man

Besides
1t is not profitable to kick against
the goads.
To undergo the strain that IL neces-

YOUR cEILD,S HEALTH.

A short time ago a little girl OF Long
Island City committed suicide because
OF overstudy.
She was ambitious to prepare herself
for teaching that she might keep her
mother. but her strength was not equal
TO the task. Failure TO pass an exam
ination preyed upon the frail girls
mind and unbalanced her brain.
Instances OF the kind are all too
common and are a warning to parents
Watch the children's health.
The careless child that cares more
for play than for books may need some
urging In school. but to spur the studi-
Gus or nervous child to additional brain
activity Is like applying the lash to the
thoroughbred that Is doing its best.
Health Is the first consideration.
There are children who at every
chance will steal away into some quiet
corner to get at book
Such children need to be driven to
play.
And there are other children who
care for nothing but play and who will
not apply themselves.
These must be driven to their books
Above all things II should be remem-
bered that fundamental to all educa-
ton is good health: that education in
true sense is impossible without
health and physical vigor.
Make your child. Hrst OF all. a strong
animal
1t requires a lot Of good red blood to
properly nourisb an actively working
brain. To stunt the body in order 10
overfeed the brain Is suicidal and
cruel and immoral.
You may be able. II you choose. to
force the mental processes OF your
growing girl and make her a brilliant
scholar. but you do so at the risk OF
making her a puny. delicate woman.

Heart toHeart
Talks.
THE DISEASE OF LAzlNEss.

Why are there lazy boys and lazy
men? Are they born so?
DR.. Albert Won Bergman OF Berlin
has made u laboratory study OF boys.
and he is one Of the leading authori-
ties In Europe. He says.
NO one is born naturally lazy. One
born indolent and inactive is already
diseased by some other cause than
laziness. The chronically lazy boy IS
at the start as healthy as the average
child. AS the boy continues to refuse
TO do his work In school. bis duties at
home. bis labor In shop and field, q
great physical change takes place In
him."
DIR. Bergman continues:
HE physically becomes so that he
cannot help being lazy except under
powerful curative treatment"
In other words. laziness Is q disease
BY his habitual refusal or neglect to
do the duties that confront him from
time to time the boy really becomes
constitutionally lazy and naturally
grows up an indolent and shiftless
man.
Therefore the duty OF parents is
plain. Instead OF shielding the boy
from labors. even hardships. these
must be imposed upon him until he
willingly shoulders responsibility and
forms the habit OF industrious appli-
cation.
There Is excuse for the boy who is
permitted deliberately to contract the
disease Of laziness. but there Is no ex-
cuse for the father or mother who will
permit 1t.
Lazy boys are made, not born.
Boys who live In towns and cities
are peculiarly exposed to the bacillus
Of laziness because 1t is not always
possible to give the boys suitable en-
ployment. Country boys usually have
plenty to do.
And that is one reason why the boys
from the farm generally are success
full when they come 20 the city. They
have been disciplined into the habit
OF industry.
The city or town Is not q good place
to rear boys. and there Is the more
necessity for keeping them employed
In some way.
See that your boy has plenty to do
and that he does Il well. Do not LET
him form the bad habit OF sinking.
1t Is almost criminal TO allow q
healthy boy to grow up In comparative
idleness by imposing on him a few
house chores and then permitting him
TO roam the streets or loaf on the cor
ners.
Watch your boy at school. II he IL
lazy there be will be lazy elsewhere.
School Is the place where he should
learn to apply himself. And be sure
to get him some sort OF a Job during
vacation.
You would save your son from ty.
phoid or scarlet fever. Save him also
from the disease OF laziness.
II you spare the pains. you spoil the
child.
