Children Not Naturally Destructive.

Be gentle with the child who
smashes his toys. The fault is not
his, but yours, who provided him with
toys too complicated for his immature
little mind to understand. Dottoressa
Maria Montessori, in her lecture at
Carnegie hail, said little children were
not naturally destructive, as most par
ents had reason to suppose, but that
the instinct to pull the object to
pieces was the only natural thing for
a child to do with something 1t did
not understand Most toys given to
children are too complicated, Doctor
MontessOri asserted.
Instead of expecting children to
amuse themselves with toys they do
not understand, mothers should as
sumo more responsibility for their
children's entertainment" she contin-
ued. 1.-THE mother who drives her
child away from her side when she is
working makes pitiful mistake. 1t

EVOLVE PERFECT FRUIT TREE
Industry of Horticulture Growing il
importance Every Year-Stap!e
Article of Food.
(By r. B. BENDING.)


Horticulture is a branch of Industry
which is yearly growing in Importance.
The value of fruit products as a staple
article of food is constantly becoming
more universally recognized, with the
result that capital and labor expended
in this direction are steadily prov
ing more profitable. That meat and
grain must vie with the best fruits
in the markets Of the world more and
more strenucusly every day is fore
gone conclusion.
Like man himself, fruit trees have
capacity for an almost limitless de-
velopment and improvement. They
can be civilized and demonstrated
just as a child to tender nurture and
kind treatment.
An astonishing advance has already
been made in the task of evolving the
cpntemplates undertaking fruit grow
ing would do well to recognize this
fact from the start. A great many
fruit growers, and especially begin
ners, fall into the error of assuming
that care and cultivation are the Sc
any tree to bear heavily. Never was
there a greater mistake made, as
such are sure to learn as the lesson
of years of pains and labor unprofit-
ably expended. The quality of the
stock itself is the factor which deter

the best over and over again, skill
fully. on scientific principles, are the
stepping stones by which they ac-
complish their advance. But the anna
teur should not attempt it. He should
leave the process to them, and look to
them for the proper stock to begin
with.
After a start with the right and
most approved nursery stock, atten-
ton and cultivation will speedily bring
the results SO much desired. The
winning of success becomes an easy
task then, though to others it may
seem inexplicable. This is the one,
indispensable sine-qua-non of accom-
plishment in fruit growing. for which
there is no substitute, and in place OF
which no makeshift will do.

ANOTHER COFFEE WRECK
What's the Use When There's an Easy
Way Out7

Along with the coffee habit has
grown the prevalent American Dis
ease''-nervous prostration.
The following letter shows the way
out of the trouble:
Five years ago / was great cof'
fee drinker and from its use / be-
came so nervous / could scarcely
sleep at all nights. My condition grew
worse and worse until finally the ply,
stefan | consulted declared my trou.
bles were due to coffee.
But being so welded to the bev-
erage | did not see how / could do
without it, especially at breakfast,
as that meal seemed incomplete with
out coffee.
ION a visit, my friends deprived me
of coffee to prove that it was harm
full. At the end Of about eight days
I was less nervous, but the craving
for coffee was intense, so | went back
to the old habit as soon as l got home
and the old sleepless nights came
near making a wreck of me.
81 heard of Postum and decided to
try it. | did not like it at first, be-
cause, as / afterwards discovered, it
was not made properly. / found, how
ever, that when made after directions
on the package, it was delicious.
1T had a soothing effect on my
nerves. and none of the bad effects
that coffee had, so babe farewell to
coffee and have used only Postum
since. The most wonderful account Of
the benefit to be derived from
Postum could not exceed my own ex-
perience."

Road to Wellville."
Postum now comes in two forms:
Regular Postum-must be wen
boiled.
Instant Postum-is a soluble pow
der. A teaspoonful dissolves quickly
in a cup of hot water and, with cream
and sugar, makes a delicious bever-
age instantly. Grocers sell both kinds.

be inaccessible if both hands were re-
