BERNARD SHAW ON CHILDREN

The most excusable parents are those who try to correct their own faults in their offsprings.
 The parent who says to his child, Il am one of the successes of the AL mighty; therefore initiate me in every particular or I will have the skin off your back" Ga quite common attitude) is a much more absurd figure than the man who, with pipe in his mouth thrashes his boy for smoking.
 If you must hold yourself up to your children as an object lesson (which is not at all necessary), hold yourself up as warning, not as an example.
 Every child has a right to its own bent. It has a right to be Plymouth brother though it's parents be convinc- ed atheists.
 It has right to dislike its mothen or father or sister or brother or uncle or aunt if they are antipathetic to it.
 It has right to privacy as to its own doings and it's own affairs, as much as if it were it's own father.
 The child has no defense in any case except the kindness and conscience of the adult, and the adult had better not forget this, for it involves heavy re- sponsibility.
 There is, on the whole, nothing on earth intended for innocent people so horrible as a school
 It is in some respects more cruel than a prison.
 In prison for instance, you are not forced to read books written by the warders and the governors (who, of course would not be warders and gov ernors if they could write readable books, and beaten or otherwise tor mented if you cannot remember their utterly unmemorable contents.

You get ease at once and feel so much better you want to go right out and tell other sufferers about Sloan's. Get bottle of Sloan's Eminent for 25 cents of any druggist and have it in the house-against colds, sore and swollen joints, lumba- go, sciatica and like ailments. Your money back if not satisfied, but it does give almost instant relief. Buy a bottle to-day.

NO class is better acquainted with the dreadful social effects of alcohol ism than the medical profession" says the Medical Times. "and we are in- terested in the sociological phases of the subject hardly less than in the scientific. Therefore, we are interest ed in the efforts of the prohibitionists to prohibit. Perhaps our alcoholics might well be left to destroy them selves as a matter of personal free dom and of riddance to the commu- nity, were it not for the social havoc that flows from the vice. This makes it concern of government. It is not those who profit commercially from the sale of the poison that should

 The call was pleasant for the man who detests calling came away reluc- tantly.
 While going home he said:
 "How do you suppose she does it?"
 "Does what?"
 "How do you suppose she manages to make herself so extremely at tractive without being in the least beautiful ?"
 "It's her secret and must find it out" l said.
 So the next day I went to see Alice She saw me coming and met me at the door.
 "How perfectly lovely to have you again." she cried and held out her hand to me.
 q have come to ask you personal question Alice"
 'Take this chair; would you wish a fan? Now what is the question ?"
 "Why are you the most attractive person 1 know?"
 "You silly thing, am not"
 You are and 1 have come to ask you to tell me the secret
 What a question:"

 tried to stop her. "Oh, everybody knows that l have no brains to speak of, no talent, no figure not no good looks. I have to do something to be anybody. When l was wondering what on earth that something was happened to meet the most charm ing woman I ever knew. She was a Southern girl. She had brains, ed ucation and talent. She was very beautiful and had travelled widely. Sc you can imagine how she made me feel And after I knew her better 1 told her how cheap, how absolutely worthless she made me feel. She laid her hand on my shoulder and told me, no matter what I could or could not do 1 had it in me to be agreeable
 She smiled and said
 q wonder if that is what you mean by the secret?"
 "Yes," I said; thank you" l tried to remember one hard or ungracious word from her lips or even an unkind look or frown upon her face, but 1 could not.
 Her attractiveness was in being agreeable.
