Eating Without Owning.

The supreme court of errors of Con.
necticut decides in Merrill VS.. Hodson
that restaurant keepers service OF
food on a patrons order for immediate
consumption is not a sale of goods
since the consumer does not become
the owner of the food served. but mere
ly has the privilege of consuming what
he needs. The court accordingly
ruled that suit would not lie against
a restaurant keeper under the sale of
goods act, in which there was implied
warranty that the food served was
wholesome and fit for consumption
The court said that the remedy of a
guest injured at restaurant by i'm
proper food served to him must be
based on the negligence of the propri-
etor.-New York Sun

controIIinn the Child

The man or woman who has made
self-control habit by willing to keep
from doing this or that, or by willing
to do this or that is the moral man
or woman.
We have been working in the
wrong way on the problem of estab-
fishing seIf-controI in little children.
We have been putting the cart before
the horse by trying to force our con-
troll upon the children instead of aim
ing to establish their own self-control.
To say to a child, Don't cryi" BE
quiet!" Don't break anything!"
Don't get angry!" is worse than use
less. We must begin, almost in baby
hood, to teach children that control
which will give them the power to re-
strain and direct their bodies and
their emotions.

Traders in corn bought on the theory
that there has been break enough and
that all the weak holders that can be
