' HAVE read with much interest your eb \ article upon corporal punishment
 To my mind there is nothing equal to
 1t in any way, shape, or manner. It
 has refining and elevating influence when rightly administered and accepted in the proper spirit.
 My mother was a wonderful woman In every respect. The world is better to me because she once lived in 1t. She and were chums and more like sisters than mother and daughter. I had no secrets from her, but l was obliged to obey her. was sound- ly hand spanked for my misdemeanors to my great and lasting benefit and perpetual and grateful remembrance. l can never recall having any feeling of resentment to- ward my mother because she punished me in that way. All honor to her who gave sound switching to her daughter when she was 15 years of agel We do not think there should be any age limit as to when corporal punishment should cease, It should depend upon the capacity acquired for right behavior on the part of the child
 "There would be fewer girls upon the streets in the immodest attire of today; fewer gadabouts among women fr!volously inclined, and less race suicide if corporal punishment in a mild. humane manner were more generally administered. lit- tie touching up with the switch or the hair brush, as occasion required, would be of inestimable value to the rising generation were more of them recipients of the salu- tary discipline.

 Our esteemed correspondent is right in the main. according to my Ideas of family government. She strikes straight out from the shoulder in a whole hearted fashion that earns the respect even of those who do not quite agree with her am disposed to take issue with her upon single point. As said upon a former occasion, my own mother, wise and loving disclplinarian, held and believed for certain, and practiced her belief, that the child who is judiclously trained in habits of obedience and self-eon- trol from earlier Infancy should not require corporal punishment after 1t Is . years of age. By then. according to her. it should be SO well grounded in habits of obedience and decorous behavior as to be in some degree capable of lf-government. With each of the seven children who grew up 10 mans and woman's estate under her gem tie rule a word of command or admonition was all that was needed after that age

But is there nothing to take for 1t? have indicated certain remedies, but there is no prophylactio unless it may be time and patience. A few palliatiyes exist and 1t is up to you to find them. All that sort of thing devolves upon the mother. It would not occur to the children, and John usually is so busy observing his own symp- toms in all the time he can spare from his work that 1t never comes to his mind that you may be suffering from the same com plaint which affliets him.
 Look about you then for something which will help you all and you will probably dis cover 1t in some sort of diversion. Haven't you heard that the results are almost in- yaidably disastrous if you break off drink or drug habit too suddenly? It must be stopped by degrees The vacation habit has not been pernicious or harmful but 1t has been powerful and ou cannot expect to check 1t in a moment without suffering from the shock
 Let yourself down easily. Work shorter hours at first, even if there are many things waiting to be done. Keep to the custom of Saturday half holidays for all of you. Go for trolley rides or for afternoons in the parks or at the beaches or other pleasure resorts of the kind near you and look upon the expense of such outings as less than a doctors bill or medicine. When you can not go into the country eontrlye some sort of frolc at home and conduct it along such informal lines that 1t won't tire you. Live simply so -ar as housekeeping Is concerned. Make fruit take the place of made desserts while this is plentiful and comparatively cheap

more powerful applications be required, try household ammonia
 Fleshy persons should diet wisely. That does not mean abstainlng from all foods. but selecting the right sort of dietary. All starchy foods make adipose ussue--i. e.: fat Don't eat sweets, breakfast cereals, potatoes, and pastries. Let candy alone! Eat freely of fruits, raw and stewed and drink little water, making the acid of fruit satisfy thirst. Eat fish, lean meat, and no fresh bread. Dry toast-the drier the better-is excellent for your purpose. MIX, particularly buttermik, cream, and chocolate are fat makers.

If 1t be very much soiled a second application may be needed Usually one does the work.

putting 1t to rights again, and possibly this might be the easiest way for you. But it would be hard on the rest of the family, and especially on John. who feels the slump whether he acknowledges 1t or not. and has a right to some consideration when he comes home weary from a work for which his muscles are still soft after the rest.
 Unless you are remarkable exception to the rest of humankind-and particularly womankind-you will overdo abominably after your vacation.
 1T always expect rush of patients when vacation time is over" said physician to me when I had gone to him to ask for tonic and had bemoaned myself for getting tired so easily when I had come back from a months holiday only fortnight before.
 We all make idiots of ourselves" he went on. We take our outings and come back feeling we could move mountains and then proceed to tackle the mountains. And the mountains won't move, so we tire our selves out attempting to do impossible things we would never have thought Of when we weren't unusually husky" IT A man would work after his vacation as he did before he'd get some good from his outing, but as soon as he feels rested he does too much--and then he comes to me for tonic!''
 Don't we all make this mistake? And isn't this in degree responsible for our depression after we come back to work?
 Other valid causes exist for such depres- sion. We have lived in the open, We have breathed pure mountain or sea air, We have taken much outdoor exercise. Simple com nonsense should tell us that when we leave all this for the city streets, when we shut ourselves at work within four walls, when we abandon rowing, tramping, fishing games of all kinds and have little or no bodily exercise except that involved in doing homework or going to and from school or business-and generally taking a car,for that-we cannot expect to feel the physical glow we knew when we were lead ing a normal life.
 Bear this in mind when you are inclined to be severe on your children for 'dawdhng around" when John comes in looking as if the cares of the world were upon his shoul- ders and wonders if this fatigue can mean typhoidl" Apply the same patience to your own case. Don't make up your mind you

of duties. You say all this and you mean every word of it.
 Yet with it all there Is the knowledge that the one outing of the year is ended, the only time when you can shake off household cares has come and gone, and that before you stretches the level of do- nestle duties, the more or less humdrum round, with nothing of real change ahead Of you for months to come. Whether you recognize the sensation or not there Is certain element of dreariness in the pros pect, slump" as your schoolgirl daugh- ter calls it. which weighs upon your spirits. fight against 1t as you may.
 Now If ever is the time to labor for pa tience with yourself as we'll as with others. There is need of the grace! For the young people are feeling the " slump aslyou are and without the compensation you have in your plans for the home, in your sausfac- ton in being back in your own speeiai niche. Try to bear with them In their un- pleasant moods and lenses and to put up with the prickles they present to every thing and everybody.
