Dishonesty the Fatal Error.

Children do not believe that any one
is infallible N spite of all the pretence:
There will of necessity be errors Oh
judgment, there will be misunderstand-
ing. But it is not necessary to ada 10
these dishonesty If you make a mis-
take in your dealings with the child
you will naturally give occasion for Ill
feeling. But if you acknowledge your
mistake as soon as you discover 1t there
will be a reconciliation. And with the
repetition of the evidence that you are
human and sincere, the child VIII come
to a realization that you are always
acting for the best, even when you
make mistakes. Then, as misunder-
standings are bound to arise, there may
still be respect and confidence.

IT. ERR is human, as any healthy
child can find out for himseI
rather early in life. But most
parents seem TO be involved in a con-
spiracy TO maintain the doctrine that
to err is childish. They will sometimes
90 to desperate lengths tC uphold the
pretence that adults-or at least par
ents-can do no wrong, that they are
practically infallible.
Every adult who has to deal with
younger people feels a certain author
ity and discipline to be absolutely nee
essary for maintaining right relations
And there is the feeling that authority
would be weakened by the slightest IN
timation that the adult had committed
an error. For many people it Is quite
impossible to acknowledge frankly that
they have made a mistake. The re-
suits of this attitude, however, instead
of strengthening authority actually de-
stroy the respect which we wish the
Young to have for the old.

Care Of the Mouth.

The use Of a tooth wash does not
approach the conditions OF a laboratory
test though there can be little doubt
that a good deal OF germIcidal work In
the mouth is done by the vigorous ap-
plieation OF the toothbrush, and It may
be pointed out that the tongue may
well be included In the process. To be
effective, however, the action OF all an
tiseptics takes time. according to the
vitality OF the organisms they encount-
q, and usually the tooth brushing
process does not occupy many seconds.
This question OF time exposure Is i'm
portant, but It Il very generally over
looked and consequently the antiseptic
treatment OF the teeth falls short Of
that effectiveness which Is shown to
b the case In laboratory experiments
The tooth washing process should be
more prolonged and the antiseptic wash
allowed to remain IN contact with the
teeth and gums for some minutes In
stead OF seconds before finally washing
the mouth clear OF antiseptc with
plain water.-London lancet

blotted out. and a nervous feeling Is
sometimes induced by the dense opac-

fractional feeling among Chicago q
Negro voters, who made possible Mayor
ThOmpson's election by casting the

aiding the Democrats, as he was ap-
pointed member of the moving picture
