GOOD BOOKS FOR CHILDREN
Reading Helps In lnnumerable Ways
to Aid Youth to Meet the World
Makes Him Think Quickly.

CBy ELEANOR CRAIG, Colorado Agri-
cultural College)
Whatever there is in life that makes
child's life happier and better, is
worth having. Among the things that
accomplish this purpose are good
books-not the light trashy kind, but
those that have been worthy enough
to have lasted through years or that
show a basis OF good clean thought
behind them. This is the kind that
should be in the household of every
one, and especially those households
with growing children. In our busy
life of today whatever advantages we
can give our children at small exv
pense are worthy of our notice. Al
most any classic can now be bought
for 80 cents.
Reading helps in innumerable ways
to aid a child to meet the world. 1t
makes him think more quickly and
more carefully. and 1t places situa-
tions before him that may help him
in an emergency at some future time.
His whole outlook on life Is broadened
by reading.
The reading is not limited to what
we call classics. Everyday books are
published that create types of life
with which a growing child should be
familiar. His ideals cannot help but
be raised when he reads of life oi
noble manhood or gentle womanhood
even though the character be one Of
fiction.

The boar needs pasture as we'll as

his best, and the pigs will be disap-
pointment On the other hand, the
boar can be fed too much, but the
trouble is usually that he doesn't get
enough.
1t is often thought that the boar Is
simply a bill of expense and that he
does not need much feed. Such being
the case. he is fed a little just because
he must be kept alive, but this feed
is the scantiest amount that can be
given and the handiest feed--nearly
always just a few ears Of corn. He
needs something stronger than ear
corn. 1t may cost little more, but
will prove money well spent. The
feed should be rich in proteids, which
would call for shorts, tartkage. oil

feeds, according to Roy Coleman In
the Farmers Review. When fed on
such a ration he can produce larger

A Tronical Discussion.

Owing to its utter inability to UNI
derstand what the Parkersburg State
Journal is driving at in regard to the
tropic of cancer, the Charleston Mail
says it is sitting resigned and hopeless.
AS the Mail seems to have lost one or
two of the connecting links Of this
momentous discussion, the Telegram
hastens to enlighten it.
OF course the whole thing arose
over a reference to the tropic of can
Ger in the Charleston Mail, which that
newspaper says was done purely on
the spur of the moment and without
any malice aforethought whatever,
Having found the reference convenient
in defining a geographical section OF
this sublunary planet. In a spirit OF
POPULARITY the Telegram, having found
the weather somewhat warm and edi-
torial subjects scarce, asked the Park
ersburg State Journal what that old
thing, the tropic of cancer, was. This
was done in the full belief that the
State Journal, therefore a storehouse
OF miscellaneous information, could
and would, as it had many times nobly
done in the past. drag out the desired
data and publish it, wherefore it could
fill some editorial space and the Tele-
gram, along with the Charleston Mail,
could copy 1t, thereby aiding, perhaps,
in the spread of knowledge and in
cidentally relieving three or four
hardworking writers during a period
of humid inactivity.
But, alas and alack! this we'll laid
plan came to grief The old raIjahIa
State Journal fell down. 1t could not
for the life of it tell whether the trop-
ic of cancer was a kind of cheese or a
political movement. The best it could
do was the suggestion that the
Charleston Mail was sitting in a cor
ner holding the tropic of cancer in
its lap waiting for the proper owner

Tonic Effect of Sympathy.

Some years ago there appeared in
the newspapers an open letter in
which a suffering and helpless woman
asked aid In securing a law to permit
fnvalids pronounced incurabfe after
a medical consultation to be pain.
lessly put to death. Naturally the
letter attracted attention and re-
awakened the old question whether
or not physicians are ever justified in
shortening life. 1t is of interest then.
to note that the writer of the letter
now rejoices at the non-fulfllment
of her wish. She has lived to xpe
irience how much life many hold even
in the face of bodily helplessness and
how greatly hope brightens prospects
which seem at first so unfavorable.
She tells of having received thous-
ands of letters from all over the
world containing messages OF sympa-
thy and appreciation for her during
attempt to secure a modification Of
~present-day laws protective to life.
Som OF the invalids, she says,
have since written her Of their cure
and OF their gladness that c%onserva-
ttsm and old-fashioned legislation
had interviewed between themselves
and their impotence. One Of these
correspondents, who was sure that
hope "a dead for her and who
eagerly desired the fms at the end
of the chapter. has written of her
complete recovery and how much
more life 10Y means to her since she
has passed through the shadow OF
the valley Of desolation." This COR
respondent has proved, as might well
be expected, a stimulant and a tonic
TO the invalid. She feels not only
that her contact with others has
given them a renewed interest lift,
but also that rel her mistaken sug-
gestion OF a revolutionary change in
law has has not been without its
good effect. since it has drawn to-
gether in bonds of deep sympathy,
invalids who felt their helplessness
yet were helped by the knowledge OF
their common lot.
1t was the touch Of nature that
makes the whole world kin-and
kind, says The Journal of the Amer
lean Medical Association. Probably
nothing is more stimulating and gen
timely tonic TO sufferers, especially
those with chronic ailments, than the
feeling that in spite of their own
helplessness they themselves can
still be helpful to others. The Shut
in Society in this country has made
life more bearable for many persons
who are confined to their rooms or
their houses. Nothing disturbs a
certain class Of patients so much as
to be enjoyed, but no human being
who r in good health and strength
and whom they can scarcely help
but envy. To be brought into touch
with those for whom they themselves
can feel is a precious source of con-
ISOLATION and uplift. Pity is a luxury
to be enjoyed. but ma human being
likes to be pftied or to feel that he
is an object of pity. To be con-
scious of some advantage in ones
situation over that of others is of
itself an alienation for many sick
inesses.
