Now comes the announcement of nm
other valuable discovery in the scien-
titic wOrld-a new kind of light ray
that has marvellous curative proper
ties, one that may revolutionize GER
tain phases of the healing art. 1t is
called the Simpson ray, and may be
considered one of the war monsters
gifts to humanity In compensation for
millions Of lives destroyed.
Sometime ago, William Simpson, n
Scotch physics engineer, was expert
menting to develop very hard armor
plate. He was using high-power cleo
tric currents to produce great heat
Now no man knows more than COM
parntively few properties of electricity
Civilization has harnessed this in
finitely powerful force In nature to
some extent, but electricity Is con-
stantly doing something in harness to
puzzle those who use it. So 1t came to
pass that while Simpson was expert
menting one of those puzzling things
happened, and the Simpson ray was
discovered, to be named after its dis
coverer.
Mary Boyle O'Reilly. an American
newspaper woman, was in London not
long ago and she went to interview
Simpson Mt his laboratory. Here Is
her report:
Take S-rays and keep young for a
hundred years." said William Simpson,
Scottish discoverer of Simpsons light,
drawing forward wheeled standard
from which spluttering electric arc
gave out faint white smoke.
"You nre suffering from bronchial
we talk. 1t has no danger ray, causes
no burns, makes no martyrs; and 1t
kills every germ within ten seconds.
"Pasteur and Metchnikoff taught
that to kill germs is to create new
world. Without germs there can be no
epidemic diseases. Also, the Stray
softens hardened arteries and loosens
adhesions. That stops age, prolongs
maturity and increases efficiency.
1--WE will yet be able to keep young
for a century. Already the Royal Med
ical society insists that the Stray is
the greatest thing In the medical
world!

TRAINING TOOAY'S
BOYS AND GIRLS
When lmpudence Is Disrespect
and When Frankness.
BOTH CALL FOR RESTRAINT
What Kind and How Much Are the
Real Considerations That Must
Be Studied by the Wise
Parent.
BY sIpoNlE M. ,eRUENeERe.

n NE does not need to be very old
~ to recall the days when all chill
dren were well-behaved and respectful
to their elders. And those of us who
nre too young to remember the good
old days can get from European visi-
tors the assurance that American chill
dren are, on the whole, altogether too
free in their speech. Indeed, our WIS.,
itors from abroad are more frequently
shocked by the "impudence" of our
children than they are impressed by
the height of our buildings.
1t must be admitted that our chill
dren are rather outspoken. In our re-
action against the crushing restraints
Of puritanlsm, we have no doubt gone
too far. And in rejecting the old stand
ards of human and child conduct we
have too frequently failed to establish
definite standards of our own. But we
are not compelled to choose between
disrespect and lawlessness on the one
hand, and repression and hypocrisy on
the other. Children must have free
dom, but they can and should be taught
to speak In more respectful and
mannerly fashion.
A great deal of what older people
resent as "lmpudence" is really not Of
fensive in spirit, but when the shock
ing word is spoken 1t is not always ac-
companied by its own explanation. 1t
IS necessary for older people to under
stand what goes on in the child's mind,
instead of waiting for the child to
make the explanation. There are three
common sources of "impudence" that
we can learn to understand and to
treat. Children unconsclously initiate
the tones and expressions that they
hear at home or among their assocf-
ates. If child is often scolded and
reproved in coarse terms, we should
not expect him to use gentle and re-
fined speech in situations that call
forth his critical and resentful spirit.
We are outraged on hearing a young
miss say to her father: "You were
crazy to go out without your ;umbrel-
la; you might have seen 1t would
rain" But 1t does not take us long to
find out that the child is using the
friendly and conventional language of

Gods own light"
The London Sphere, a weekly jour
nal, recently published the following
report on the Stray"
A great amount of curiosity has been
aroused about the Simpson light (aSn
rays), and there seems little doubt that
we are on the eve of what may be
termed a revolution in the matter Of
healing; and in view Of the legacy Of
casualties which the war is giving US
no other type Of scientific advances
ment could be more satisfactorily op-
perfume. Maj. E. G. French, r. A. n.
c., In one Of the articles which have
lately been appearing in the Lancet,
says "the Simpson light Is the latest
discovery in therapeutics. For over
two and u half years the scientific I'M
vestigations have been published 10
papers; during one and half yearA
the rs" rays have been employed
| therapeutically, and over 1900 treat.
ments have been given. 1t will there
fore be admitted that no undue haste
has been shown In now introducing
them into notice."
This was written some months ago.
Now that the results are assured, no
time Is being lost in actually gathering
in the fruits of the discovery and In
stalling the apparatus in the hospitals;
and the Simpson light treatment has
already become feature not only In
the clinic centers Of England but all
over Europe.
The rays discovered by Mr.. W. 8.
Simpson, an engineer, who, while ex'
perimenting in the affinity Of rare met
ais for one another. noticed that the
light produced by the electric combua-
ton Of certain ores had curative" ef-
fects on the workmen's hands, In con.
sequence of which he prepared special
electrodes for combustion In an art
lamp, hence the "S" rays.
Without going into all the various
| results which are being detailed In the
medical press from time to time We
may content ourselves here with tho
main fact that It has been tested in
the worst Of cases, that the exposure
is very short one. that there seemq
no limit to its application, from cases
of shrapnel wounds to the more deeply
seated chronic affections, and ~thas
some Of the most intractable cases
which had dened a great deal Of treat-
ment improved at once under the u
rays, and were discharged cured"

in the child's feelings nor understand
ing his mind. In all good faith he
wished the disturbing grandmother be-
yond good and evil. A child needs in
n case of this kind not reproof or pun
ishment, but enlightenment. He must
learn the remoter meanings and i'm
plicatlOnS of the words he uses, md
he must learn to speak discriminatory.
Whether the undesirable modes of
expression that we commonly call i'm
pudence nre the results of initiating
bad models, or the results of unre-
strained freedom of expression, our
remedies are not to be sought in en-
forced silence. 1t Is well for us to
know first of all what the sources of
the impudence are, and then deal with
these. We cannot always regulate in
advance the language and manners of
the associates of our children, but We
can do n great deal to make the home
Impressions what they ought to be.
And it Is better for us to know just
what the children think and feel and
improve their thoughts and feelings
than to foster hatred and hypocrisy
under the cloak of decorum.

MODERATE DRINKING.

Professor Durig. famous mountain
climber, conducted experiments upon
himself, climbing in each case 5000
feet to the top Of Mt. Bilkencrat in
the Alps. He recorded the height
climbed, his personal weight and that
Of his pack, and carried instruments
to measure exactly the bodily energy
put forth, the amount Of muscle work
done, and the length of time required.
On certain days he took alcoholic drink
equivalent to two glasses of beer, and
found that, while his instruments
showed that he expended IS per cent
more energy than on the days of alb
stinence, he took 21.7 per cent longer
to reach the top of the mountain.

One of the Oldest native Madagascar
industries is the curing and manufac-
turing of silk into what Is called
"lambamena; 'larlba" in Malagasy
means dress, shroud, or clothing, and
'mena" means red. "Lambamena" Is
made from heavy gray native silk
principally in the Betslleo country, in
the southern part Of the central
plateau. This material was originally
used for wrapping the bodies Of promi-
nent natives for burial. The more
celebrated or wealthy the deceased or
his relatives were, the more LAMBDA
mena was used, but this custom is be-
ing gradually discontinued.

This is the beginning of an age of

intense, pure heat. My handy man,
drunken, dissolute fellow, was han

suddenly the open wound began to

possibility, 1 gave my hand an ugly
cut with a knife edge Of dirty BRASS
and treated the wound with a dose
Of light. Three days later the cut was
healed, leaving no scar. Then l knew
that l had discovered something great
er than foundry process!
Thus military surgery was provided
with safe ray which could stop dis
charges, cure stiffness or swelling, alb
sorb scar tissue and relieve the tor
ment of septic wounds. Only a short
exposure Is required, although there Is
no bad result from long exposure as

Limbs which our soldiers feared
were lost have been saved, cripples
have suppleness restored, face wounds
which made brave men look monstrous
have been stimulated to clean healing.
Since the sea battle off Jutland, hun

all germs, the Simpson light creates a
thin, infinitesimal skin which obviates
the necessity of messy dressings"
Five feet distant, electrodes of wolf

tra-violet rays. A subtle sense of rest
fulness and well-being filled the
atmosphere.

The Difference,

Prohibition is making rapid strides,
but notice that the good old custom
Of christening ship with champagne
still survives" remarked the local op-
dmist. -le-
'True, my brother" answered the re-
former, 'but when bottle Of cham
pagne Is broken on the hull Of ship,
that's the end Of the matter. When q
man opens bottle Of champagne 1t 10

her own home. There Is no question
Of disrespect or insolence. We learn
that the girl does not mean to be Of
fensive. But 1t is clear that she cam
not cultivate reverence while she con-
tinues to speak in this manner to her
parents. What Is Mt first but an inele-
CANT use of language comes in time to
be IN unwholesome attitude toward
other people. There are two things
we may do In such a case. We may
either establish the rule that the child
must use only certain kinds Of express
sions and tones In addressing older
people, and must avoid others. This
would insure the preservation of the
outward forms. Or we may furnish
the child with the models that we
should not fear to have copied. We
must decide for ourselves which meth
cd we are to prefer: the arbitrary sep
aration of the child's notion Of conduct
into that which is to be permitted to
elders but forbidden to children, and
that which is permitted to all, or the
cultivation Of wholesome atmosphere
of considerateness and respect for 9TH
ers.
When the offensive word or grimnce
Is the genuine expression of n hateful
mood, we have a different problem.
Under the older ideas of bringing up
children the chief emphasis was laid
on repressing the outward manifesta-
tions of the Objectionable feelings.
Now, while 1t is true that to certain
extent the feelings can be smothered
as their expression is restrained, there
was no positive effort to cultivate
friendly or reverent emotions. The re-
suit Of this policy shows itself too fre-
quently in Indifference, in hypocrisy
and In some kind Of "explosion." Run
ming away from home Is an explosion
Of this kind, being in a large proper
tion Of cases set of by an emotional
disturbance for which the child had
no suitable means Of expression.
Where the steam cannot be let on

lently.
OF course We do not wish our chill
1ren to have 1'b9d emotions" But be.

CAUSE OF RETREAT.

before the Canadian club, La Baronne
Huard, whose home is in the Marne
district Of France. told Of her escape
from her chateau just before the Ger
mans seized it for their commanders
headquarters, and added:
"How did it happen the Germans
were obliged to retreat when so near
Paris? One explanation is that the
army was in the champagne district
and the army was literally dead drunk.
We had evidence of this when we got
back. I saw at least 10000 champagne
bottles In my own grounds"
