MODERN CHILD NOT GIVEN
ENOUGH HOME TRAINING

DENVER, Colo.-T0o much of child
training is done outside the home.
according to W, C. Pearce, Church
Parent association organizer for the
National Mothers congress and adult
and field superintendent OF the Inter
national Sunday School association.
who spoke before various organiza-
tions in the city on the subject of
parent training.
There are three great rocks on one
OF which every young person who
goes wrong is wrecked. These are
religion, vocation and sex-life," he
said The only place where a child
can get thoroughly grounded in reli-
gion is in n religious home; the only
persons who thoroughly understand
him. who have the advantage OF
watching every day of his develop
ment. and who are thus in a position
wisely to help him decide his life work
are his parents; and surely the only
place where clean sex-life can be
taught and its sacredness preserved is
in the home. E...
1T is a gross mistake of modern
thought to say that child can come
to a deep unshakable faith in God
merely by regularly attending church
and Sunday school. This deep religion
he must get at his mothers knee be-
fore Sunday school age. II Is another
mistake to say that teacher, even a
specialist in child psychology and vo'
cational guidance, can, after know
ing a child a single year in her class,
pick out his life work for him. The
world is full of unhappy misfits be-
cause the parents give no thought to
studying their own child and helping
him choose the right work.
"The greatest crime against the race
is to expect the right principles of sex
/ life to be picked up anywhere in the
street from immoral companions, in
the schools from the cold. unbeautiful
facts of physiology books. Sex-fife
should be taught reverently in the
home"
During DR.. Pearce's stay in the city
he will start the organization in vari'
Gus churches of parent training class,
es where parents can be taught how
to start their children right, so the
Sunday school and public schools will
have the right foundation to build
upon with each child. Each church
win thus give religious instruction to
parents of its own faith.

WHAT is THE CAUSE OF
RHEUMATISM. LUMBAGo
AND G0UT?
(ey Valentine Mott Pierce, M. D.

(ey Valentine Mott Pierce, NJ. o.
Ever since Scheele in IT'S discover.
ed that uric acid was present in the
system, scientific men have been max
ing experimental Investigations and 1t
is the almost universal opinion of our
best medical men that the presence
Of uric acid in the system in excess IS
the cause of rheumatism and gout.
When the urate salts are precipitated
out Of the blood into the solid tissue
structure the person suffers from gout
and rheumatism In the muscles and
joints, or suffers from lumbago and
pain in the back muscles. The first
aim of the sufferer should be to get
rid of the uric acid, which, in excess,
is a poison, and to do this it is well
to drink about pint OF hot water
morning and night-get tablets OF
Anuric double strength at the near
est drug store and take them before
meals regularly. Anuric will do no
harm to the system and will carry off
the uric acid by stimulating the kid
neys. Then tinctdre iodine may be
painted over the swellings, or in more
severe cases hot linseed poultices may
be applied to soothe the local symp-
toms. But most important is it for
the sufferer to abstain from meat, to
diet, drink only lemonade or hot water,
and take Anuric for considerable
time as it causes drainage outward
of the uric acid and is many times
more potent than lithia and usually
one finds that it dissolves uric acid
as hot water does sugar.-Ady.

dant reason to expect generous price
returns for all available surplus.
THE most effective step that may
be taken to increase the production
Of these crops is to enlarge the acre
age devoted to them in the regions
where they are grown habitually. This
expansion of acreage should be to
the limit permitted by available good
seed, labor, and equipment. The plac,
ing OF too great emphasis on produc.
ton in new regions is inadvisable
since the introduction into a farm
operation of a crop not usually grown
frequently involves practical difficult
ties not easily foreseen nor quickly
surmountable.
Taking the winter-wheat territory
as a whole, winter killing has occur.
red to an extent very much greater
than usual. This obviously, IL not
compensated for in some way, will
mean a material reduction in the sup.
plies OF our most important bread
cereal. Where winter wheat has been
damaged sufficiently to justify the
abandonment of fields, 1t should by
all means be replaced by spring.
planted food crops, preferably small
grains or corn. The acreage OF winter
wheat seeded last fall is estimated at
40.0S0,000. or only per cent above
that of the preceding year (39.2O3..
600 acres), and about one-eighth more
than the average for the preceding
Ave year period (35.524). The condi.
ton Of this crop, as shown by the de-
partment in its report of April Z, is
more than 25 per cent below the aver.
age condition April 1 for the past
10 years. This condition forecasts a
production this year nearly $4,000, 900
bushels less than that OF 1916 and
243, 100000 bushels less than the crop
OF 1915. ~
