slant toward men and things from
that of any other person; and our
happiness consists in expressing
our own individuality in the espe-
cial way that most appeals to us.
You cannot make child happy by
building his house of blocks for
him, no matter how perfectly you
may do it. He wants to build that
house for himself according to his
own particular ideas.
And circumstances also have lit
tie to do with either happiness or
obstacles to be overcome and so
provide the joy of winning. Hap
piness does not come from a life
in either the city or the country,
neither from height nor depth, nor
any other creature. 1t comes from
freedom to express ones self and
from the inner power to enjoy.
Naturally this mother wishes to
protect her daughter from such a
seamy, sordid youth as she knew;
yet may it not be that her own
present happiness is based upon
her ability to appreciate by con-
trast the love and home she now
enjoys.
Ali we can hope for the children is
to keep their bodies sound and
their minds flexible, give them
freedom to follow their bent and
teach them to see not the evil of
men, but the good. For the rest.

citation, Inc.)
A child whose cries have always
been awarded with attention is most
unfortunate. Such a child has to
realize at some time or other that
everyone in society is not going to
! cater to his every selfish whim, and
the earlier in life he realizes this the
easier 1t will be for him.
We find children of all ages being
catered to by their parents in the
most unreasonable ways. Cases like
the following are not uncommon:
my S-year-old daughter has been
unusually slow about getting her
teeth. Even after tooth appears, II
takes so long to come through the
gum that she naturally has been fret
full most of the time. Certain others
in the household go to pieces when
daughter cries and the only way /
could ever quiet her at times was TO
let her nurse. 1 knew at this time
the milk was of no nourlshment to
her' but 1 could quiet her this way.
Now the problem facing me is to wenn
her after I have been nursing her all
this time. Please advise me the pest
time"
See that your daughter has plenty
or minerals in her food, 30 that her
teeth may develop more rapidly. The
following foods contain much mineral
matter: Soda crackers. oatmeal,
peanut butter, shredded wheat, oy-
sters and salt Goldfish gravy.
You can hardly expect to wean q
child of 3 years without having her
cry at all, yet your daughter should
be weaned at once, even II she does
cry a little.
You can make it easier for her by
preparing her mind beforehand in a
proper way. Begin to praise her for
little things that she does for you,
suggesting that she is getting to be
such big girl now. Perhaps it would
be well not TO deprive her of nursing
until day or two after you have be-
gun lodging these suggestions.
Just before she goes to sleep at
night impress upon her mind In a
quiet way that she is getting so big
that she does just like mother in so
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-12-28

many ways. The second evening you
can suggest that she is no longer a
little baby that has to be nursed and
that. starting in the morning, she will
eat Just like mother and certain other
persons whom she admires.
Beginning with the third morning
then, do not nurse her single time
Having plenty of attractive play
things to occupy her mind. At the
time she generally nurses occupy her
mind with some new doll clothes
which you want to try on dolly. Stay
with her as long as she is happy, but
the moment she starts to cry leave her
and do not let her crying bring you
back.
When your child Is not crying and
she asks directly to be nursed, treat
her in the following manner: Take
hold of her hand and start over tC
! another part of the room or perhaps
into another room where there is q
comfortable chair. Sit down. having
her sit on your left knee. BY this
time her mind will be somewhat di-
verted. Now begin to talk very
slowly-let a pause come between al
most every word spoken. because
words spoken slowly, firmly and i'm
pressively will not be so nearly liable
to antagonize the child. Say. "You
are now getting to be very big girl
You are growing bigger every day
Little, tiny babies nurse. but big lit
tie girls do not nurse. Mother is go
ing to play with you and we will have
lots of fun together, but I will not
nurse you any more. Won't we have
lots of fun? I'll tell you what we can
do now. Let's make big doll. You
wait till 1 get some clothes and some
pins" Start Immediately to go into a
closet to search for materials to make
n doll. Just assume that she will fall
in line with your ideas.
If she should start scene, say. "Oh,
can't play with you If you cry and
just leave her without playing cny
more unless she acts in a proper way,
BE calm and cheerful, but do not nurse
the daughter any more. The habit
will simply become worse unless you
break 1t at once. BY being friendly
land very firm it will not take but q
few days to cure her habit.
