WHY WOMEN CHATTER

In the February Woman's Home
Companion Ida NJ. Tarbell, probably
the best known oma journalist in
America, writes an interesting article
entitled "The Talkative Woman" in
which she explains why women chat
ter and what their chatter is worth.
One of her principal points is that wo-
men are naturally laxative because
they spend so much time with little
children, teaching the youngsters the
language. This point Miss Tarbell
explains as follows:
eff it were not for the %chattering
of women, the child would never learn
to talk.
There is no one, probably, that will
deny that the first words a child at
temps to speak are mere limitations
of sounds-that they mean no more
to him than sounds do to a parrot.
When he begins TO initiate there is
always, or should be, a woman be-
side him, repeating, smiling ,encourag-
ing him. The play goes on, month in
and month out. With infinite patti
ence she chatters to him until consci-
business is aroused. Then rapidly his
education goes on. Words are at
tached to objects; facts about objects
are perceived; their form, their color.
their odor, their relations to the lit
tie learner. The words for all these
perceptions are slowly gathered in.
Then the child learns to compare, to
distinguish values, to remember not
merely the sounds he learns but the
meanings of those sounds. His mind
is opened to the world, and through
a marn one oh otfarinnI
"'When he leaves her hands at six
or seven,' says M. de Gourmont, 'he
is a man, that is, he talks, which is
what makes a man. The great intel
lectual work of women he goes on,
is teaching language. The grammar
ians claim that they do it, which is
absurd. Children know how to talk
before they go to school. They al
ready use all the forms of the verb;
all the shades of syntax, easily and
correctly. This power of language
the child gets from the woman. 1t
is to her honor that later he will use
it as a poet, novelist, philosopher or
moralist, or, to use Nietzsche's strong
phrase, as a creator of values
"Take this view of it-and who
shall or can dispute its truth ?-and
how infinitely more valuable to the
world is the chatter of women than
all the books they ever wrote or IRA
tions thew ever delivered. 1t is of
that fundamental order of things,
without which cultivation, even civil
i~zation, could not go on"

PERSIAN" LAMB IN AFRICA
Industry That is Likely to Be Stimu-
lated as a Result of the Eu-
rOpean War.

If Great Britain retains German
Southwest Africa the caracul skin in
dustry there will receive increased at
tention.
Caracul sheep were first imported
into German Southwest Africa from
Bokhara in 1907, and the sandy soil
of some parts of the country seems
to suit the animals admirably.
Professor Wallace of Edinburgh,
having recently recommended a trial
of caracul sheep in Great Britain, an
experiment is being made with them
in Scotland, and good results are stat
ed to have been destined.
Some specimens of the sheep have
been successfully introduced into Ma
tai and other parts of South Africa,
where, however, little attention seems
to have been paid to the production of
Persian" lamb skins. A flock of car
acul sheep has recently been imported
into Newfoundland, and the results
of this important experiment will be
awaited with interest.

GOOD ANALYSIS OF WORRY
Foolish and Altogether Too Prevalent
Habit Which All Should Strive
to Avoid.

We worry because we are afraid of
something. Worry is fear of the con-
sequences of something that has oc-
Cured or something that may happen.
A curious thing about it is that it is
never associated with the immediate
present. It is generally in the future.
though sometimes in the past.
Animals and babies who are con-
scious of nothing but the present can
not worry. AS all creatures, except
ment, they do not worry because they
human beings, live only for the mo-
have no recollection of what has hap
pened and can form no conception of
what may happen.
Human beings having the capacity
to look back or forward, mentally are
susceptible to the fear that causes
worry, and as most persons live more
in the past or future than in the
present, this tendency affects for wor-
ry OF not, according to our view
point of life in other respects. Wor-
ry is mental fear of an impending
something.
Persons afflicted will be less wor-
ried about their condition than rela-
tives or friends who syinpateize with
them. A person may worrs n anti
cipation of a sickness or operation,
but when they have the sickness or
the operation is performed, the wor-
ry disappears and, though they may
fear, they cannot worry in the pres
mt.

THE MERCHANT AND HIS
CREDITS

A travelling salesman was remark
ing the other day that he had sold
the usual quantity Ct goods the past
few months, in spite of the war and
other depressing causes. But he had
found many of his customers hard
up because of the unusual number of
requests for credit. 1t was his opin-
ion that in both good and bad times
the American people are getting in
too easy going habits about payment
of bills.
1t is not always the hard pressed
workingman on short time who
lodges the bill collector the most ac-
tivelu. Many of the well to do are
habitually slow pay. They make re-
quests for further accommodation
with the air of comforting a lordly
favor.
When the victim of i'll health or
other misfortune asks for a bill of
goods on trust, it is often practically
a request for charity. The merchant
fails to see why he should carry the
whole burden of the community's
~misfortunes. So he charges up to
his whole trade the expense of bad
debts. Thus the frugal and thrifty,
who may live ever parsimoniously,
are compelled to pay for Injuries for
the extravagant.
There are of course some applica-
tons for credit that are legitimate.
People have to take risks, start out
on new ventures with small capital,
seek better positions, or industry
would stagnate. If fortune goes
wrong, creditors must wait a reason
able time. But when people on wages
or salary bank on their dreams, they
commonly go broke.
Many people, finding a ten dollar
bill in their pockets, feel sanguine,
step high, and send the bridesmaids
wagons hustling with deliveries to
their homes. The fact that old ac-
counts are due is forgotten.
"The best New Years resolution is
to pay every debt you possibly can
wen if you have to wear your old
clothes to church" Thus concluded
the salesman whose remarks suggest
ed these reflections, and he was right.

HOW TO CURE A
CHRONIC COUGH
Told in the Following Letter
by a Jackson Man Who
Knows from Experience.
His Word Is Good.

jackson, Miss.-"1 am a carpenter,
and the grippe left me not only with a
chronic cough, but | was rundown,
worn out and weak. | took all kinds of
cough syrups but they did me no good.
l finally got so weak l was not able to
do a days work, and coughed so much I
was alarmed about my condition. One
evening | read about Vinol and decided
to try it. Before l had taken a quarter
Of a bottle l felt better, and after taking
two bottles my cough is entirely cured,
all the bad symptoms have disappeared
and / have gained new vim and energy"
John L. DENNIS, I'll Lynch Street,
jackson, Miss.
The reason Vinol is so successful in
such cases is because the active medic
inal principles of cod liver oil contained
in Vinol rebuilds wasting tissues and
supplies strength and vigor to the nerves
and muscles while the tonic iron and
wine assist the red corpuscles of the
blood to absorb oxygen and distribute
it through the system, thus restoring
health and strength to the weakened,
diseased organs of the body.
If Vinol fails to help you, we return
your money.

IMPURE WATER FOR TRAVEL.
Frs.

Evidently it is difficult for people
who travel to obtain pure water while
en- route. This has been disclosed
by the Minnesota state board of
health following an investigation of
the drinking water supplied on trains
in that state. The board reported
that of the 81 sources from which the
railroads draw their water only 20
were found to be satisfactory. Thir-
ty-two were found to be liable to pol
luton and II analyses showed that
pollution had already taken place.
