to nearly every saloon in town: The
saloonkeepers sometimes arranged ex-

them on big posters. He enjoyed see

with the complimentary remarks Of
the audience. He didn't get very

GETTING FRESH FISH

Late in the afternoon we passed the
new mouth of the Euphrates. A few
years ago this river got tired of its
mouth at Kurna and cut a new one a
few miles north of Basra. 1t is said
that in few years the mouth at Kur-
ma will become hardly more than a
canal. The Euphrates water is sui
phuric white, while the Tigris water is
now comparatively clear. For miles
after joining the waters of the two riv-
ers keep to their own sides Of the

Elbows.

Everybody has elbows and especially
famous people, so that occasionally
they can rub them with the masses.
The elbow is a symbol of democracy
and If people hadn't discovered how
to rub them we might still be living in
an age of teudalism. The elbow is
very useful and some people who
haven't brain in their heads elbow
their way through life and don't seem
to mind the difference. Science has
frequently been asked what people
would have done If they had no elbows
and has explained the battling question
in this way-they would probably have
something else just like them. The
elbow is a valuable organ, or member,
and If you have an arm to cut off you
will need an elbow on it so that the
arm can be cut off either above or be-
low the elbow. Elbows are of all sorts,
such as ragged, wrinkled, shiny and
rheumatic. Elbows are well enough in
their way, but great nuisance at
quick-lunch counters.

Don't Train the Child As
One Would a Young Animal,
Is Advice Given to Parents.

If your idea be to train the child as
you would train q young animal, SO
that you can govern him, to the ad-
miration and amaZement of your
neighbors, so that he will do as you
say, and will consult you humbly in
all matters, then doubtless punish
ments and rewards of a very definite
order will be necessary. Sugar and
bits of meat and judicious whippings
and pettings are the only means l
know for training little animals, writes
Laura Spencer Porter in Mothers
Magazine
But if your object be, as it should
be, to develop his understanding and
his character and to make him SEN
sible, serviceable, self-governing indi-
vidual, there will be needed two
things: A very limited administering
of your own variable and whimsical
rewards and punishments, and a very
extended effort to bring him and your
self to clear understanding of the in
variable and unalterable consequences
and results that life continually and
inevitably administers
Not only are most of the punish
ments we administer stupid, but they
are hopelessly inadequate, trifing, l
had almost said frivolous. In urging
you to punish your child less with your
own ill-judged punishments, l am not
begging you to be more lenient, but
less SO.
What l would beg you to do is to
better fit him to avoid life's punish
ments. You punish him illogically
when he fails to obey you, by depriv-
ing him Of cherished toy or a cher
ished play; but life, with unfailing
logic, Furnishes him when he goes coun-
ter to her commands, by depriving him
of love, of happiness, of service, of
success. If he continues to do as you
tell him not to do, you deny him to
come to the table, perhaps, or you send
him away for lonely hour by him
self; but If he continues to do what
life tells him he must not do, there
may be years of loneliness and wretch
edness and failure that he must pay

Why Soap Removes Dirt.

Although soap has been known for
ages, it Is only little more than
century ago that the first scientific ex-
PLANTATION of Its cleansing action was
offered. Everybody, of course, knew
that the lather produced through fric-
ton from wet soap would remove dirt
But 1t remained for sciepce to show
that, through contact with water, soap
Is decomposed into fatty acids and an
hlkali that impurities are set free by

tangle them, all being removed with

Good SIeepers.

Learning to sleep well is learning
to live well. But it does not follow
that the good sleepers are necessarily
good people or that they know how to
live. Good sleepers are to be found
among those who break the laws of
morals and of health. They have the
gift. Whether they will be able to
keep 1t through their lives is a ques-
ton. The effects of their lawbreaking
may suddenly overtake them and the
ravages may weaken their sleeping ca
pacity. In the depths of consciousness
there is often rebellion of the mind
