Bran

Bran Is the outer husk or coat Of a kernel
Of wheat or other cereal. II consists FOR
the larger part Of ccllulose. and is lacking
in nutrttiNe qualities, although it contains
some carbohydrate material and certain
valuable mineral salts, Throughout the
digestive system II retains its bulk. and so
encourages bowel movements. For this
reason bran, either in the form of por-

THE MOTHER WHO SPANKS HER
CHILD IN THE HEAT OF ANGER
Too Few Parents When Inf1cting Corporal Pun
ishment Do SO Collectedy-The Child
Should Not Be Cowed

COME time ago in an article dealint
~ with the training OF children spoke
% proper dlsclpiining. The mother Of
several obstreperous boys takes Issue
With me. quoting at me that TO spare the
rod will spoil the child. No one car
pretend 20 pass judgment on all types
OF children; do not doubt there are boys
who cannot be reached in any other way
than by corporal punishment. But tho
error so many parents make is that
of Furnishing the child while in the
heat of anger themselves, venting their
wrath, no matter how justified, on their
heipless offspring.
We have all seen the nervous, harried
mother who boxes her child's ears, slaps
his face or turns him over her knee and
npanks him, more to relieve her own feel
tngs than to correct any fault Of his.
UHEN. too, a child should not be cowed.
- Tho punishment should be given with
q view of making him see the error Of
his ways and correcting It himself.
Herbert Spencer in the middle OF the
last century said on this subject: Bear
constantly in mind the truth that the
aim OF your discipline should be to pro-
duce self-governing being; not to pro.
euce being to be governed by others.
Were your children fated to pass their
lives as slaves you could not too much
acoustom them to slavery during their
childhood. but as they are to be free men
with no one TO control their daily con-
duct, you cannot too much accustom
them to self.control while they are under
your eyes.
DO not regret the exhibition Of con.
siderable self.will on the part Of your
children. It is the correlative Of that
diminished coerciveness so conspicuous
In modern education. The greater tend.
ency to assert freedom OF action on the
one side corresponds TO the smaller tend.
ency to tryannize on the other. They
both indicate an approach to the system
OF discipline we contend for, under which
children will be more and more led 20
rule themselves by the experience OF
natural consequences; and they are both

PALESTINE WARY.
OF TURK MONEY
Native ShreWdneSs Makes CirCu-
lation Of Paper Difficult

Cairo, Egypt, July 2S.-(Corre-
spondence Of the Associated Press)-
the paper money issued by the Turk
ish government is not popular in Pal
estine. Since it's issue it has steadily
declined in value, and as the native of
Palestine has an International reputa-
ton for discrimination in matters Of
finance, it is not easy to hoodwink the
people as to the real worth of the
greenback currency.
The governor, Jemal Pasha, recent
ly has issued some rather peculiar
proclamations insisting that this rise
IN the local rate of exchange is due to
the evil practice of boarding real
money and that therefor the practice
OF boarding must cease. The proc
lamatlons declare that paper money
and specie must and shall be equal in
value, and to enforce this somewhat
arbitrary adjustment of financial val
ues, he states that:
eff our hope to have this adjustment
peaceably effected is disappointed, and
If by the fifteenth instant articles of
any kind, whether food or otherwise,
cannot be purchased with paper at ex-
actly the same rate as cash, I shall
proceed to deport from the vilayets of
Anatolia and Roumelia every tenth
man, with his family, of the persons
specified above Clocal bankers, head
men, and leading citizens). The Sc
lection will be made by lot. In the
execution Of this deportation no ex-
ception will be MADE in favor of the
managers of Ottoman and German
banks"
This drastic method has certain OBJ
vious advantages for the Turk for the
accusation of boarding and manipulate
ing the exchange lies not SO much
against the individual as against the
whole community.
In any case 1t IL probable that be-
fore the governor is through, the bulk
of the inhabitants will be reduced to
restitution. Massacre by famine or by
the sword, death upon the road to ek-
lie will fall upon many and while the
exchange rate will not be restored,
anybody who possesses coin comes
under the charge Of boarding, and Is
likely to suffer.
The people of a half dozen races
and creeds come under this modern
Turkish version of your money or
your life"

SWEDISH EMIGRATION.

Stockholm, Aug. 80.-Emigration
| from Sweden in 1915 exceeded the
l1916 figures by more than 5000. The
total number was 1901, against 4,O7S
tho year before. Strenuous efforts to
discourage emigration are being made
and have for some years been made
by the National Association to Oppose
Emigration, the president Of which is
Dr. Adrian Molin. The asso ciation's
efforts are warmly seconded by the
government. Efforts are being made
to find work for returned enotgrants
ana to induce them not to return to
ctically the only coun-
ktry 70 which Swedes emigrate. These
enorts were unusually successful last
year. and a great number of Swed-

The custom Of the island for many
years has been for the young to marry
tho girl they love best and then after
- brief honeymoon, go to America to
make their fortunes, returning in a
few years to their brides. During this
period Of the absence Of the husband,
1t has become a custom for their
wives, women traditional for their

vance in prices Of principal articles
forming the group 'Iuxuries," that
the quantities being brought in at the
present time are materially less than
those Of three years ago in view Of
the fact that the stated values based
upon these higher prices per unit of
quantity, show an aggregate oonsid-
erably less in 1917 than in 1914 The

Of luxuries, a total Of $879,OOO,O 900
against $449,o00,0o0 in 1914, de-
cline in stated value amounting to
nearly 20 per cent. while the decrease
in quantity must be far greater by
reason of the fact that the value he-
ures in 1917 represent merchandise
imported at a much higher price per

Toxic, July 29.-The steady rise in

Japan is calling forth protests from

The demand for high priced labor

In Society
WOmen's Luncheon.

One hundred and one women at
tended the woman's luncheon at the
Barbara Worth hotel at noon today.
Dr. Margaret Mcknight, state COM
missioner of elementary schools, also
chairman of education of the Wom-
ems Council of Defense, was the prin-
cipal speaker, her subject being PA
triotism for Women" She told of the
many ways in which women could
help win the war, but emphasized the
work of conservation. She said she
heard one man say: well, women
don't know how to save. Well just
produce so much that they can af-
ford to waste" But her idea is that
production and conservation go hand
in hand. She said every pig produced
meant a dead German and that when
you lick your plate you are helping
to lick theKaiser. She made a very
earnest appealfo r the organization
of Junior Red Cross chapters-a work
that the teachers can do. She closed
with this thought: Think patriotism,
talk patriotism, and work in every
patriotic way we are called upon, and
we will win the war. Mrs. w. g..
Conley was the next speaker, her sub
iect being "The Red Cross Member
ship Drive" She read a beautiful
little poem and spoke of the service
flags that are being displayed in the
homes from which the boys have
gone to the front. She held to view
a little Red Cross service flag which
every new member receives to hang
in the windows of homes whose men,
bers are serving at home to keep
the boys comfortable at the front.
She asked all who were not members
of the Red Cross to join now and
urged all to stand shoulder to shoul-
der to protect "Old Glory" Mrs. Turn
er of Calexico made short talk for
the Red Cross and conservation. Sew
eral of the teachers present made
brief remarks, telling of the patriotic
work their schools were engaged in.
Miss Holdzkom of Imperial, on be-
half of the teachers, expressed ap-
probation at meeting the women of
the city and county in such pleas
ant way. Mrs. w. w. Apple was
mistress of ceremonies and carried off
the honors in her usual able manner.
Everyone present pronounced the
luncheon a success and hoped all
would meet again soon in like man.
