they were not.

such things are thoughtlessly held up be-

them into obedience, or of making them

of the older folks. Mothers WILL by the
simple question, Are you afraid to go to

a child's head that there is something to
be afraid of A child would know moth
ing of such things if he did not hear them
in some way through older folks talk. A
child's ina gination is, as rule, very
strong. and it sometimes does strange
things. One word is sufficient to start it
out on strange quests. and it will people

The Home Of the Cod.

There is just one other great cod
bank in the world besides those off
Newfoundland. 1t lies off Cape Agul-
has, which is the southern tip of AZ
RIGA, and south of the Cape of Good
Hope. The Agulhas plateau is said to
be almost duplicate in size and rich
ness of the north cod banks. But
this is too far off, SO there j. little
promise of its appeasing the hungry
appetite of the world for cod.

This church, in additions to special be.

There is every reason to believe that

reach, il it does not exceed, 81 900, 600.
This will, OF course, depend largely
