A Mother. Secret Of Success.

The well known proverb Example
Is better than precept' is only another
form Of expressing the predominating
power of sympathy. for example can
have little influence except In so far
as sympathetic feeling in the OBJ
server leads him TO initiate 1t. So that
Example Is better than precept"
means only that sympathy has more
influence In the human heart than rea-
soning..
This principle, so powerful at every
period of life. is at its maximum in
childhood. The child's thoughts and
feelings are spontaneously drawn into
harmony with the thoughts and feel
ings Of those around him whom he
loves. and this leads naturally to imi-
tation, or reproduction, Of their ac-
tons
The great secret Of success for a
mother In the formation of the char
aeter Of her children is to make them
respect and love her and then simply
to be herself what she wishes them to
be. Abbott says that to make them re-
spect and love her Is TO control them
ny firm government where control Is
%quired and to indulge them almost
without limit where indulgence will
do no harm. This is true. but we
often forget the latter half and won
der at our failures.

rial may be always used TO widen fills,
and any deficiency Of material can
usually be supplied by widening cuts.
In constructing or repairing an earth
road it is quite common to use the
scraping grader or road machine. Be
fore work with this machine is under
taken the width of the road between
cutters should be determined. 1t is a
common fault to find roads too wide.
Twenty-four feet between gutter lines
Is ample for road when a communi-
ty is not concerned In improving by
macadamizing or otherwise hardening
Its surface. and frequently eighteen
to twenty feet is sufficient.
With the width between cutters In
mind. line of stakes should be set be-
fore the grader begins its work. The
line Of stakes along each gutter will
improve the work of the grader and
leave cutters which will not tend to
cause wash into the road. When it is
desired to spread new material upon
an earth road care should be taken to
secure 1t from the best available sup
ply. 1t is not good practice TO place
gravel in patches upon an earth road
to Oil hollows. Material should be
spread uniformly upon the travelled
way and should be applied for a con-
siderable distance and the ends Of the
ar olication should be reduced in depth
gradually so as not to form new
thuck hole. The object of the grader
IS to simultaneously construct cutters
Or side drains and place material for a
crown In the center. Right here is op-
portunity for great improvement In
farth road work. Sod. leaves. vegeta.
bic matter and rotted material Of any
description can never form road sur
lace
There are two ways of using the
grader. 1t may be operated to cut the
surface only and scrape all perishable
material into ridges which are later
carted away, or the grader may be Vim
regardless of sod and other materials.
Men with rakes and forks then follow
1t and remove all Objectionable mat
ter into dump wagons. 1t must be re-
Hembered that the largest amount of
earth road work Is done upon old roads
and these roads are frequently in such
condition that it is better to scrape
the shoulders and cutters away from
the center and remove the entire mass.
Frequently this operation alone win re-
suit in well established and crowned
roadway with the live material for its
surface.

About children's Teeth.

II child's second set Of teeth re-
main abnormally short and doll-like 1t
IL wise to consult doctor, as 1t may
be because he is not developing prop
erly owing to a lack OF bone forming
constituents in his food. One should
change the diet in such case and
give something containing plenty of
lime, such as haricots, lentils and
milk; also they should have plenty of
hard, well baked bread crusts.
Little heaps of crusts are often left
on child's plate. A child should
never be allowed to leave them. for
too much soft food Is often the cause
OF the early decay of second teeth as
well as of their undeveloped and irreg-
ular formation.
Mans teeth We're given TO him for
grinding and chewing. and If they are
never used for hard food they soon de-
cay.
Ridged or ribbed teeth are a sure
sign of system overcharged with uric
acid. Rheumatism is latent; these
ridges are warning signals.
Do you know what these are? They
are teeth that appear as though they
had ''picot' edging or little sawllke
edge to them. and they nearly always
mean that the owner is below par.
The serrated edge Is really the COM
mencement of decay that viii in time
cause serious damage to the child's
health.

A aad Habit Cured.

A delightful experience is told by
. teacher that touches upon child.
an imaginative boy Of seven, who was
ideally polite and obedient to his par.
ents, but who would. in spite OF daily
admonitions, insist on putting on his
shoes and buttoning them every morn
ing before putting on his trousers,
which, Of course, would not 60 ON over
the shoes. This daily blunder rendered
him quite miserable az well as his
parents. He would cry with shame
and disappointment because he missed
his breakfast with his father, promis-
ing to try to remember, but so regular
~ forgetting that his parents began to
suspect some latent stubbornness II
not deceit In the occurrence.
The teacher was friend of the fam
lily and often visited them. On the oc-
CASTOR Of one visit the boys mother
asked her whether she should chastise
him for this annoying habit. The
visitor said she would write to him,
which she did, but the letter was in
the form OF a story Of General Bad
Habit, who was quartered In his house.
The boy was very fond Of military dis
plays and stories, and just here she
held his interest. She said she was
sorry General Bad Habit was there
and that she greatly feared her little
friend would be reduced to the ranks
II he did not make immediate resist
ance, and she asked him to use her let
ter as nag OF truce, to be placed in
his shoe overnight, informing General
Bah Habit that he proposed not only
to resist him, but to take away his IT,
tie, sword and shoulder straps.
The flag Of truce was used In the
shoe for two or three nights, then
placed on the mantel and in less than
a week entirely removed, and letter
from the triumphant child informed
the teacher that Bad Habit was re-
duced to the ranks and the little friend
was general and master of the situa-
ton. What an altogether charming
way to help child to overcome fail
