Husbands Protest.

With view to advertising his busi-

he would supply artificial teeth to the
first twelve aged ladies in poor cir
cumstances who applied for them. 2
The earliest application on the ap-
pointed day was an elderly woman in
shabby but respectable clothes, who
was politely ushered into the waiting
room.
Scarcely was she seated when red
faced old man came to the place, and
announced that he had come "about

dentist replied. 81 only made my offer

in many respects the more victorious
forms of athletic sports are quite the

BOY TOOK CHANCE OFFERED
Indiana Judge Had Faith in Human
Nature, and 1t was Not Mis-
placed on This Occasion.

A Judge sitting as the juvenile court
In an Indiana town was trying boy
on a charge of stealing stamps from
his employer. The evidence was pure
~ circumstantial. The boy had
cleaned his employers desk and a
short time later he tried to sell to an
other employee the same number OF
stamps that had been missed from the
desk. The judge considered the evil
dence of the men who worked at the
same place and then called the police
man who had arrested the boy.
"Now," said the court, "did either
of you see this boy take the stamps?'
"No, your honor, but the boy has
made a full confession to u.s."
The court looked at the boy. who
WINGED slightly at this statement.
"Well," the court concluded, that
may be. But I'm for absolute justice
in this court, and nobody saw the boy
take the stamps. The defendant is
discharged"
The next day the boy returned the
stamps to his Observation-Disclosures

Bibles.

The first Bible printed in America
was in an Indian language, translated
by John Elliott, pioneer missionary
to the Indians, and published at Cam
bridge, Mass, the New Testament in
1861, the entire Bible in 1868. In 1868
one William Bradford proposed to
print an English Bible by subscription,
the price of the book to subscribers
being 20 shillings or a pound sterling.
In 1777, during the Revolutionary war,
there were so few Bibles in the little
group of states that congress voted
to print 10000 copies. Even this was
found impracticable Type and paper
were wanting, and by way of compro-
mise 10000 Bibles were then ordered
to be imported from Europe by author
ity of congress, the reason being given
that sits use was so universal and it's
Importance so great" But even this
could not be done owing to the war
embargo. The work was then under
taken in 1882 by Robert Aitken of Phil
adelphia as a private enterprise. The
books were few and very dear.-Chris.

TREATED HIM LIKE LEPER
Characteristic French Method Of Pay

Second empire. Didier's father was

terror at the time when the Duchesse
de Berri was arrested at Nantes at
the end Of her attempt to raise the
country against Louis Philippe and in
favor Of her son, the Count de Cham
bord. The traitor Deutz agreed to
sell to the government the secret of
her hiding place for five hundred thou
sand francs, and it was the elder Di-
dier's duty to pay the scoundred for his
dirty work. He took his son Henri
into the office and said: Look well
now at what passes, and never forget
it. You will learn what a lache is,
and the method Of paying him." Deutz
was then brought into the room where
Monsieur Didier was standing behind
his desk, on which were placed two
packets, each of which contained two
hundred and fifty thousand francs. AS
Deutz neared the desk Monsieur Di-
der made a sign to him to stop. Then,
taking a pair of tongs, he extended
the packets, one after the other, into
the hands open to receive them. Not
a word was spoken, and, when the
transfer was effected, Monsieur Didier
pointed to the door.

with lumber merchant. Later he was
ordered to take load Of lumber some
distance away. Having gone half his
journey, he came to steep hill, and
while the horses were struggling to

meet him, and seeing the horses in
such a difficulty, and Pat standing on
top of the load, he stopped him and
exclaimed:
''Do you think the horses haven't got

and inhuman motives, and, on the 9TH
er hand, against allowing the eXertions
to result in injuries, whether personal
or economical.
In childhood, playing soldier means,
usually, merely parading or hunting
or stalking. Presently, however, the
children become interested in each 9th
er as members of groups. Because of
this interest it becomes possible for
us to cultivate an attitude of exclu-
SivenesS or antagonism toward all who
are not members of the immediate
group. In extreme cases this attitude
ends in antisocial group action, and at
best it ends in rather narrow kind of
nationalism or patriotism" But it is
also possible to make use of the social
interests and impulses in cultivating
an overwhelming conScientiousness of
identity with other people. In the first
case we have a perpetual source of
antagonism or anim0Sity toward
strangers and foreigners. In the lat
ter case there is the opportunity to
direct the fighting instinct against the
enemies of the race, the Instructions
TO human welfare.
But even before the child becomes
interested in team plays or group ac-
ton of any kind, we utilize essentially
the same interest in conflict when we
encourage rivalry, whether at home or
in school, through prize contests or
through invidious praise and blame.
We have guessing contests and spell
ing matches, and ip,athletics we have
races of various Lids. In these the
individual is encOS. aged 10 put forth
his best efforts, not for the purpose of
attaining some predetermined stand
ard. not for the purpose of cultivating
his own abilities, hut for the purpose
of excelling soma other particular
child.
The bread-baking contests and the
dressmaking competitions for girls,
like the contrasting or shop contests
for boys, utilize tue same motives OF
rivalry as we find in the ordinary ath-
Ietic contests or street fights. But the
form of the conflict and the material
consequences are in no way objection
able.

TRAINING TODAYS
BOYS AND GIRLS
Fighting Instinct Diverted Into
Other Channels.
REAL ENEMIES IMPERSONAL
Healthy Group Rivalries and Competl-
tons Will Absorb Energies That
Otherwise Are Likely to Be
Misdirected.
By sIDoNIE M. GUTENBERG.

~HERE are three possible atti-
tudes toward the instincts of
children. At one extreme we
u find the rather crude natural
ism which assumes that whatever is
natural" must be right; this leads to
Indifference and Indulgence. At the
other extreme is the somewhat less
crude but equally arbitrary Puritanism
which suspects every desire and i'm
pulse of being satanic in origin; this
leads to suppression and sterility.
Then there is the more or less rational
eclecticism that chooses to encourage
some impulses and to suppress others.
When we take into account the teach
ings of modern psychology and biology
we shall make our selections and adapt
our methods more effectively. Today
we do not simply repress or indulge;
we try to utilize the driving forces of
the growing child To forward our own
ideals of what a child should be. We
take the child as we find him, and try
to make him little stronger here and
to rub off little there.
In the matter of fighting it is parti-
cularly difficult to form balanced judg-
ments and to develop sane plans. With
our usual habit of emphasizing one
aspect of problem to the exclusion
of all others, we either fix our atten-
ton on the injuries resulting from con-
fiict and become extreme pacifists, or
we fix the attention upon the need for
resisting aggression, for defending
our rights" and become belligerent.
In one case we make fighting an end
in itself; In the other case we make
the avoidance of fighting the goal of
effort. With the child, however, fight
ing means more than defense, and it
need not always mean that; it means
something different from the cOnse-
quences to person and property. 1t is
almost entirely a matter of eXertiOn, of
overcoming difficulties, of cOnqueSt-or
defeat - sometimes, but even then
chiefly as incidental to the conflict.
Our problem is therefore to make
full use of youths eagerness to exert
effort, to sacrifice, to devote itself. But
we must guard, on the one hand
against drawing upon the antisOcial

ing of dirt as the villain of the drama.
Now the older children can be led to
abandon the group rivalrieS as they
had already outgrown the individual
rivalries, and the object of attack can
now be made some impersonal enemy,
rather than some particular person or
group. There is enough to fight for
and to fight against. Boys and girls
who have learned to work together in
the various kinds of contests need not
abandon the fighting motives, and the
powerful organizing influences that
these motives exert upon our activities.
But they must learn to fight real enc
mics, and for larger and larger groups.
Disease still remains to be conquered
and the best physicians and nurses ap-
proach their work in the spirit of the
soldier. Fire prevention and fire de-
struction call for as much thought and
effort as the best can put forth The
vast engineering and economic and So
cial problems furnish worthy foes for
the fighting instincts Of our boys ana
girls.

Shops DEMAND
NEW EFFICIENCY
No Room for Nervous, Worn Out Men
and Women.

Efficiency is the watchword of mod
ern industries. Practically all of the
larger enterprises are demanding that
applicants pass a physical examina-
tion before they are admitted to en-
ployment. They are adopting the
theory that without health a man is
unable to give his employer the best
that is in him. There is no place in
the modern business world for the
nervous, tagged out, hstless man or
woman.
This in an age of speed; we haven't
time to take care of ourselves. These
rundown men and women are not ex-
actly sick, but just tired out, languid
and overworked. Their business, their
home and their life suffer.
They need something to build them
up, something to throw off these
symptoms of a weakened, debilitated
condition produced by mental or phys
icval overwork, or by the abuse of a
vital organ-more often the stomach
than any other.
Chemists and scientists have gone
to endless pains to discover something
that would combat this seriuos condi-
ton. 1T was left to Joseph Won Trim
bach, the noted chemist and giver of
health aids, to solve this perplexing
problem, and he did. He has given
the American public vegetable prep
aration composed of herbs, roots, flow
ers and barks, which he has called
Tanlac.
Since its introduction, trife over
year ago, men and women, from the
highest to the lowest walks of life, by
the thousands everywhere, are testify
ing to the relief Tanlac has brought
them
Tanlac, the tonic, appetizer and in
vigorant, that builds new tissues, vi
talizes the blood, and acts so favor
ably on ailments of the stomach, liver
and kidney, and catarrhal affections
of the mucous membranes, has been
met with favor wherever it has been
introduced.
Tanlac Is being introduced in Wau-
seon at the Fink & Haumesser Drug
Store, where the Tanlac Man daily
explains the merits of this Master
Medicine.
