HOW CHILDREN SHOULD LIVE

What children need they must
depend upon those that know their
needs, to secure for them. They
are helpless.
Children need to be saved from
defective or wrong habits that act
in the life Of the child as defects
or defOrmities do in a child's body.
Sometimes the habits are even hard
er to correct later and may cause
even more ill-health and inefflci-
ency. They cripple life as do weak
bones the body.
Sleep is necessary to life. Health
depends upon its regularity and
duration. Children unded 8, need
~ hours Of sleep at night and a nap
both morning and afternoon.
Rest is needed for all the body.
The heart and lungs work night and
day, but less at night. The eyes
rest only in sleep, as does the nerv-
Gus system. Upon its health de-
ponds the intelligence OF the child.
Air in plenty, day and night, is a
common need. Sleeping in close
and over-heated rooms fatigues in
stead OF refreshes a child. Lack
Of fresh air at night also deprives
child of a desire for food in the
morning.
Exercise is needed in abundance,
But children are delicate and easily
harmed permanently when young
or growing rapidly. Violent play
or exertion, may leave a boy with a
weak heart for life. Strain or undue
excitement may destroy the nervous
strength Of girl.
Bathing the skin aids the body in
dispOsing OF waste-products. A
skin not cleansed becomes inactive
and often diseased. Thorough and
complete washing with warm water
is needed at least once a day; for
infants in the morning; for others
at night. Plunge baths and wash
ing The head and hair are also i'm
portant to health. Teeth and nails
require close daily care.
Waste-products left in the sys-
tenn, poison il and foster germ-dis-
eases. Exercise, water, laxative
foods, prevent these dangers.
Feed children. Rest them. Wash
them. Provide water, air, sunshine,
exercise.

CONTEMPT FOR AMERICANS
Its Presence Among Certain German
Critics Is Noted and Discussed.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: | have observed, while listening
10 conversations between so-called
COMMUNICATIONS, a marked bitter
ness and venom in their references to
Americans generally. Since it has been
revealed that Germany has lost caste
in the eyes of the world because Of the
acts of its insane ruler-God's partner
his admiring subjects in this coun-
try manifest contempt for Americans
almost as deep as that held for the
despised Briton.
The letters 10 the newspapers bltray
this resentful attitude in a measure,
but one only has to listen to the talk of
these alleged German-American citi-
zens to realize how general and con-
frmed is their mental attitude toward
the natives of their adopted country.
OF course, We grant that German
born citizens have a right to their feel
ings and opinions although, just now
no other country would permit their
expressions so freely-and we grant,
also, that German Kultur entities these
self-appointed missionaries to influence
barbarian judgment, but | would like
to ask this very pertinent question::
Where would these alleged German
Americans stand in case the United
States should be drawn into a conflict
with their dear Fatherland? Would
their ingrained reverence for Imperial
Wilhelm, militarism and German
Kultur be paramount over their obi
cations as American citizens?

The Worst Side of War.

In its effect upon political progress war often
counts for the right 1t is time Of magnificent
national emotions, before which class privileges
and petty rivalres are apt to lose Importance The
promise of democratic progress in Russia is natu-
raj and understandable, and it is altogether pos
sble that similar gain may come to Germany
through the wars upheaval Of old ideas.
On the social side there is another story. The
despair Of the humanitarian e well put by Miss
Jane Adams:
When a million men. are suffering in trenches
wet and cold and wounded, what are few children
suffering under hard conditions in the factories
Take old age pensions, upon which England, France
and Germany have been working With widows
and fatherless children numbered by the thousands
in each Of those countries. what are few old
people more or less? II will be years before these
things are taken up again. The whole social fabric
is tortured and twisted.
There is undeniable truth in this which we all
feel War is a Teyersiop TO barbarsm, a turning
away from the finest things of the civilized spirit
and splendid as are its heroic moments and memo
ries, they obstruct rather than aid the modern
march toward an elaborate and more humane
social organization
Nor eau we hope that political reforms will spell
speedy social reforms We know, to the contrary.
that the way of progress is bard one, aud that
political freedom, however stanch our faith in its
justice and ultimate accomplishments may mean
little or nothing In the present. Often enough the
short road TO accomplishment lies the way Of
Blsmarckian paternalism under which, as it hap
pens. Germany in the tSSOs obtained accident
aud sickness and old age Insurance, toward which
the democracies Of Great Britain and America are
lust now hudiug their way,
II is Il long vision that can sec the predetermined
gains Of war above the present certain and terrible

The Destruction at Rheims.

The report Of MIR. Whitney Warren upon 'pe
injuries done TO Rheims Cathedral Is the nrSV eA-
pert opinion which has reached this country II
is his view that while the structure can OF course
be restored" its old charm can never be regained
and the loss to art and the world is irreparable'
The injury done to the frame Of the cathedral
seems to be comparatively slight But the glass
including the famous rose WINDOW in the centre OF
the facade and the sculptures have persisted PIE
sumaby Mr.. Ridder would consider that these
might he replaced to mucbs better advantage ana
the whole structure vastly improved by good prSk
with a knowledge of Part nouyeau'
But the civilized world knows the truth. what
the hands of devoted men and the loving touch OF
time did at Rheims can never be ours again. The
loss is irreparable and the crime past forgiveness
