GROWING CHILD NEEDS REST
According to Eminent Authority, Hours
Of Study Should Be Restricted
With Much Care.

As soon as the child begins to grow
rapidly all intellectual exertion should
be checked. Such is the theory which
DR.. c.. Mercier, the famous English au-
thority on children. expresses in an
article In the London Lancet. Espe-
cially when there ir any family tend
ency to nervous or mental disorder,
rapidly growing children should be
withdrawn from school altogether un-
til the period Of rapid growth is over.
Mercier does not think that intellec-
tual work at high pressure is harmful
to either boys or girls as long as food.
sleep and bodily exercise are SUM-
Client; but he Is sure that pressure Of
intellectual work In those who are
growing rapidly should never be per-
mitted; and IL growth be proceeding
very rapidly all intellectual work
should be put aside.
Doctor Mercler insists that It Is
scarcely possible to give growing chill

he was capable OF showing real uneasi-

You mean the Empire Advertising

The Empire Advertising company. Il
must be remembered. was the largest
in the world.
Wallace had not thought of that. He
had not meant to say the Empire was
actually behind Jones' Pepsin gum.
But now that Pembroke had suggested
1t, 1t seemed to him to be good idea,
and, without taking into consideration
the important fact that his father, not
himself, was president of the Empire
Advertising company. he took the
plunge.

a sickly effort to relieve his mind he

to extol local genius. Amt he a

assented heartily, He's from Hart

dignity and glories OF the little cities
was continual Joy to the two friends,

OF caring FOR their young. A gentle
man whom we became very well &C
quainted while on the Mount Kenia
trip, was not professional elephant
hunter, nevertheless he had killed sew
eral elephants on Kilimanjaro. Once
by mistake he shot and wounded a
COW elephant that ran some distance
before falling. On overtaking her he
found that she had fallen in a kneel-
ing position. A little calf was pinned
under her knee by leg that was driv-
en- deep into the soft earth. A close
examination OF the route over which
the old elephant had passed failed to
reveal any of the little ones tracks.
This, together with the fact that the
calf was not hitherto seen and the pc

be taken as proof that the mother was

Broadway was little dubious. It's
good plot, but how are we going to
play it?" he inquired, reverting to the
atrical slang OF that street he had
loved and lost so much on.
