The Child Who "Shows Off"

We parents have very human tendency
TO overValue what we perceive special
talent in our children. Perhaps our child
can do one thing unusually for his age,
and In our dreams VIC see him as genius.
That particular gift, or talent cit may, after
all, be no moro than temporary develop
ment of somo quality beyond the average
for his age). we often encourage the child
to SHOW off" The result is that such a
child almost invariably gets an exaggerated
opinion of himself and his ability, becomes
self-conscious, and, what is far worse. falls
into the habit of doing only the things
which come most easily to him. In this
process of self-indulgence, not only the
chd's other qualities are neglected. but
even that special quality, which might have
been a talent. degenerates through lack of
disciplined training--and our young 'ge-
MUS may become In the end one of that
pathetic class of people who are super
ficially clever, but who can do nothing well
enough to win position or command trust
and responsibility The child prodigy rarely
develops into a mature prodigy, yet too
many of us entirely forget this same COM
monplace fact in dreaming about the chill
dren We love wel--Miram Finn Scott

HAVE PARENTS RIGHT TO CLAIM

Her Little Ladyship Has Impromptu Nursery En-

! CHE was dear little bundle of a girl

A real baby though-dream deep eyes and
lots Of woolly and flannel things coming
TO view as she kicked her versatile little
legs.
To look at her was to love her provided
you had a seat in the crowded train.
Certainly there was one man travelling

She, the dilapidated moo COW and
mama's knitting bag were occupying an
entire seat for which mama and papa
who sat in the facing seat had not paid.
And the gentleman with the depleted mile
age book was standing

little ladyship transferred to mamas lap
But he didn't-although any one could

This is what had happened
Walking down the aisle when he had
first boarded the train, he stopped short
before the impromptu nursery. and looked
silently, but inquirngly.
No one spoke.

The answer came back fast

The man didn't speak. He was little

Thyroid Gland as a Remedy

IN what ca ses is the OF dried thyroid gland
indicated? L. NJ. r.
Persons whose thyroid glands are in
active-the condition of so-called hypo-
thyroidism-are benefited by the use of
dried thyroid gland (sheep's thyroid). There
are numerous indications of this condition.
among which are dryness of the slin pig
mentation and atrophy of the skin and
falling of the hair, with oth"r symptoms
1t is important, however, to Jte that when
taking dried thyroid a thoroughly anti
toxic diet must be adopted, that is. meats
must be entirely discarded while milk
should be taken only in the form of but
termilk and, in some eases, even buttermilk
must be avoided. Eggs also must he
omitted from the dietary. Fresh vegetables
and especially uncooked fruits and yege-
tables should be freely used. Tonic baths,
an outdoor life and free water drinking are
other measures important in such case.

Drinking With Meals

THE habit Of drinking a large amount
| of water at mealtime often is followed
serious injury. Many persons think
ching of drinking two or three glasses
f ice water at a meal, or as many cups
tea or coffee.
ono of the results is that one gets the
Iabit of not chewing his food sufficiently,
# washing II down In half-masticated
condition. When this takes place fntestlnai
digestion will go wrong and liver digestion
Yill be wrong everything VIII be wrong
and the result will be putrcfaction OF food
instead of digestion, and from putrefactlon
poisons are formed which are absorbed into
the intestine Professor Conbc of Bau-
same, has shown by actual experiment
that when water is used freely at meals
an increased amount of poisons is formed
in the intestine and these poisons are eN-
creted from the body; they are found in
tho breath and in the perspiration from
the skin, in excreta from the kidneys. Thus
one of the most important causes Of In
testinal administration is drinking freely
at meals
Another objection TO an excessive use OF
water is this--that the stomach becomes
oveskstended. Water or liquids pass into
the stomach very easily and the stomach
becomes overweighted and overdistended
with material. Then the digestive fluids
are diluted, and so the digestive process
does not go on properly.
It is proper to drink at meals In limited
amount. One can drink ice water, hot water
or water at ordinary temperature, pro.
vided no does 1t right. 1t Is important &c
"t'letcherize" the water. Then you get out
of 1t all the good there Is in it.: 1t cools
the mouth and refreshes the sense of taste.
Thus It is perfectly wholesome and proper
to drink very cold water. but It should be
only very small sip. Half a teaspoonful
or teaspoonful, at any rate, is plenty of
real cold water to be taken into the mouth
~ once. There Is just as much refresh-
mcnt from it as from half n tumblerful
sulped down into your stomach. There Is
40 harm In taking a little liquid with the
meal, If one takes it slowly, but one should
not drink when he is eating; should
not put a mouthful of food into the mouth
and when it Is half chewed, taKe "a drink
of water TO rinse it down; that is wrong
one should drink between eatings, after the
mouthful Of food has been swallowed.

.DAB1ES must travel--and SO there are
- two sides to this little incident. Every
one knows how much easier It IS to
stretch the baby out flat on a seat than to
hold it. And when a woman is travel
ing alone I have known men TO go to all
sorts OF extremes to see that the neces.
sary room be made to let baby have its
impromptu bed. But this woman was not
alone. Her husband was with her and
he sat calmly for forty miles and let
some other man stand, so that his baby
might be comfortable.
When babies are travelling should 1t be
their own parents or strangers who are
called upon TO sacrifice themselves to
their comfort?
This is worth while thinking about.

CARELESS USE OF SOAP
SPOILS THE HAIR

x x x x X x x x X. X x x X x x
Soap should be used very carefully,
if you want to keep your hair looking
its best. Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle,
and ruins it,
The best thing for steady use is
just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and greaseless), and is
better than the most expensive soap or
anything else you can use.
One or two teaspOonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub
it in. 1t makes an abundance Of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out east
ly removing every particle Of dust,
dirt, dandruff and excessive oil The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and it
leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine
and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and
easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it very cheap, and
a few ounces will supply every member
of the family for months.
