FAULTS OF CHILDREN
HOW 70 CHICK THEM IN TIME

. H0W 10 CH&Ck THEM I'm TIME
Most OF the faults OF children mar
be cured IL taken in time. Faults
are first tendencies and then habits
Many OF them come from overwrought
nerves. and the mothers who are cross
TO their little ones, who shrek All them
and nag them, are to blame for their
ruined dispositions In after life.
One-half OF the irritability of normal
children comes from overfatigue, over
excitement or improper eating, and 1t
should be treated medically.
Crossness is a distinct habit. and tha
wise mother corrects 1t by making the
child rest and keep away from the
other little ones until he has con-
trolled his nerves. His food Is rigidly
supervised, and he IL forbidden to eat
all heavy, rich dishes. Last and not
least, plenty OF sleep is insisted upon
No healthy, normal child, unless he is
thoroughly spoiled, ever Is cross. A
bad disposition should not be allowed
for one instant
The idea OF self Importance il one
which must be uprooted from the heart
Of the average child. 1t must be
taught to look at itself from the OUT
side point OF view, as one unit OF a
family, not as the most important be-
ing on earth. The parent who allows q
child to grow up selfish commits d
crime.
Sensitiveness is one OF the hardest
faults to combat in child. The great
thing is to teach the little one TO
laugh at itself. A sense Of humor
Is, life saver. Show the little one
some grownup who has never learned
this art Of Laughing at a joke aimed
at self. Perhaps the object lesson will
be sufficient, for this sort of people
are the most disagreeable on earth.
When you see your child becoming
q dreamer, particularly il 1t IL boy,
do everything in your power to get him
out OF this way OF looking at life
Do not let him read romances or
poetry, but give him instead well writ
ten stories of actual deeds performed
by living men. There are many OF
these that far exceed the 30 called ro-
mances OF the days of eIivaIry, about
which q very misleading glamour has
been thrown, by the way.
Instead of forming all the judgments
for your children, Of making your de-
cisions law, teach them to arrive at
right decisions by using their own
brains instead OF allowing the latter to
become fabby and worthless through
disuse, for the brain is like . muscle
It can become absolutely weak and
useless IL 1t IL not made 20 work, and
the people who are not able to think
for themselves the right and the wrong
OF situations are the people who have
troubles In this world.

CENTRAL BANK

Indianapolis, Ind, Dec, 1s.-Leslie
M. Shaw, former secretary Of the
treasury, in a speech at Indianapolis,
opposed a central bank.
He said such an institution, neces-
sarily privately owned, will clothe the
Standard OIL trust or the Steel trust,
or both, with the power to expand cor
contract the currency, enabling them
to make or break any otl-er corpora
tions at viii.
He said only these two great money
interests are capable Of financing such
