CARING FOR "ONLY" CHILD
Vienna Professor Finds Only Thirteen

Vienna.-After study OF the prob

several years, Prof. j. Friedjung of the

.atrios has made public the result of
his observations. He had under ex-
animation 100 only" children, Of
whom 445 were boys and So girls
They range in age from two to ten
years
Each had been raised in a family
where there were no other children,
and therefore had been subjected to
the kind of domestic isolation that ac.
companies those conditions.
OF the 100 children IS were severely
homeopathic and 60 manifested less
marked symptoms Of nervous instabil-
ity. Only 13 of the youngsters, accord
ing TO Dr. Friedjung, were fully nor.

Unusual mental ability and way

to go hand in hand in the case of chill
dren, OF the neurasthenics, 80 showed
malnutrition to a remarkable degree.
The only" child, says Friedjung,
gets its morbid manifestations from
the excess of tender care lavished up
on it. It's parents spoil It, they take
away its sentiments Of self-reliance,
and in this way they unconsciously
encourage the child never to develop
unduly. A certain amount of knock
ing about and hardships and necessity
for self-reliance is imperatively de-
manded, this investigator says, other
wise a child will grow into a namby-
pamby. a nervous molly-coddle.
On this account, as well as because
of the menace to the race through the
limitation Of population to only"
children, Friedjung urges that every
family should possess several children.

stified squeal and very piglike wrig-

have known that one of his fares
wasn't human. In fact, the chauffeur
rubbed his eyes several times before
1t finally dawned on him that Mrs
Marie Watson's travelling companion
was pig instead Of baby.
The chauffeur wasn't to blame for
being deceived, for several conductors
had made the same mistake. They
don't know even now that the bundle
Mrs Watson carried so tenderly in
her arms was not baby at all, IN
spite of its baby cap and fluffy little
coat and the milk bottle which Mrs.
Watson produced every now and then

Mrs. Watson, as almost every vaude-
vile performer knows, is the wife of
Sam Watson, who has barnyard cir
Gus. One Of the star performers was
a wee pig, but 1t got so fat that Mrs.
Watson decided that another pig
would have to join the show, one that
she could hold in her arms without
straining her muscles.
After some correspondence she
found what she wanted in the pig line
on farm just outside Of Newark,
The pigs owner agreed to sell free
on board at Newark, but not Manhat-

Mrs Watson and her husband went
into conference to decide how to get
the pig here.
Leave It to me-" said Mrs, Watson.
I'll just bring the pig over on the
train"
Her husband suggested that pigs
were not allowed on passenger trains.
But Mrs. Watson knew what she was
talking about.

Mr. Watson did so.

II was because Of those few whispered
