Patriotic Business.

The business of patriotism and the patriotism
of business strikingly. manifested in Tues
days conference of some three hundred Of Geor-
ga's leading wholesale grOceTs Convened in Allan
Ia TO counsel over the food situation and to con-
slider how best they might serve the public's and
the nations interests well their own, these
men not only pledged whole-hearted support TO
the Food Administration but declared their en-
thusiastc purpose to uphold the President and
his co-workers in every needful measure for the
winning of the war.
The common sentiment of the convention
happily expressed by Mr.. c. H. Kelley when he
said of the policies and orders issuing from Wash
ngton:
Some things may look wrong because
we don't understand them, but the Govern
ment knows and has its We should
stand with the Government"
That is sound sense as we'll stanch patriotism
Our helmsmen in this storm cannot be expected to
go unto detailed explanations every tirDe they
turn wheel. The man at a distance from the
whirrng center of the wars vast administrative
machinery cannot hope to know the intimate
why's and wherefores of all that is done. But we
may be sure that for all the far-reaching steps
which are taken, the reasons ample and
gent. The fact is measure of vital concern
to public interests-uness It be strictly military
measures adopted without a full public
counting of the necessity therefor; and for the
rank and file of Americans, the observance of
these requirements is a matter of willing
loyalty, not enforced obedience.
Declarations like those from the Georgia
wholesale grocers conference are peculiarly
cheering at this juncture because they show that
amidst all the stress and confusion these change
fpI hours the patriotism of this good Common
wealth beats strong and true. When DR.. Andrew
NJ. Soue, Federal Food Administrator for the State,
laid before these assembled business the
things needful to be done IN the Nations interest
they pledged unhestatingy their full cooperation.
When he said that the winning of the war, the
defeat of Prussianism the safeguarding of Ameri-
can liberty now and for the ages to come, deperd
upon the earnestness and efficiency with which the
people of the United States conserve food at this
time his hearers agreed with him both as Informed,
far-sighted business observers and workmanly
patriots Theirs is the spirit which we believe,
characterizes the great body of Georgia business
and which be translated into the daily conduct
of all the people if the tremendous needs and du-
ties of the time to be met.

ADOLESCENT INSANITY
By H. AddingtOn Bruce

BY II. AddIngtOn Bruce
THERE is type of insanity with which parents
in especial ought to be made familiar. 1t is
the type known technically as dementia pre-
cox but more LUMINOSITY by the phrase adde's
cent insanity
This disease usually comes on in early adult
life-at the age of eighteen to twenty-five. Some
times there is sudden return to normal mental
ity. More often things gradually go from bad TO
worse, until the mind is completely wrecked
The victim in the beginning becomes strangely
impulsive and stubborn He may have senseless
outbreaks of temper.
Suggestions made to him are not kindly re-
ceved He develops irrational fears and sus-
picions.
Whatever intellectual ambitions he may have
had die out. He becomes increasingly self-ab-
sorbed. Mental inertness characterizes him.
So does general Stiffness of behavior. He re-
verts to the mannerisms of early childhood and
seems once more to have childs attitude to life.
The cause of this sad decay is not definitely
known. Experts seem to be more and more OF the
opinion however, that whatever physical factor
or factors may be involved a faulty up-bringing
often has much to do with the actual occurrence
of the disease.
More specifically, it is nowadays held that much
adolescent insanity results directly from rearing
children in such a way to make them both abnor-
mally self-centered and abnormally deficient IN
sef-control
Or. as stated by one expert, DR.. Pearce Bailey,
now Major Pearce Bailey, of the United States
army:
I'm many cases of adolescent insanity it seems
almost certain that natural infantile tendencies
instead of being directed and corrected, had been
allowed to on, and that insanity has super
vened as a direct outcome of the faulty conditions
Instead of being taught obedience and made
to obey instead of being taught self-forgetfulness
and atruism instead of being treated as an in
dividual who give well as receive, the child
is INDUCED in his ego-centrc expressions.
He is too often treated in a way the world
treats no one. and is not prepared to meet life as
it is So that when he finally faces it he finds 1t
a contrast to all he has learned, and goes mad"
In this, decidedly, is an additional argument to
reinforce the gospel of conscientious training IN
the home and in the first years of life.
1t is bad enough to spoil children by crafty
ing their whims neglecting to impress on them the
Importance of controlling their desires, and failing
toedevelop in them courage and self-reliance.
1t is obviously a far more serious matter if,
besides spelling" them such parental policy
NAV doom them to an early and irremediable men
tai breakdown.
No parent. however needless of his duties,
would lightly take responsibility for that
