McAdoO Demands That
Wilson Shall Be Dictator

Washington, oct. 2S.-The storm
of political feeling occasioned by
President Wilson's appeal to the
country to vote for none but Demo-
cratic candidates, was increased last
night by statement from Secretary
McAdoo, the Presidents son-in-law,
which is declared to be a supplement
to that of the President.
In this Secretary McAdoo argues
that all authority placed in Congress
by the constitution shall be abrogat-
ed by the voters in the coming cleo
ton.
Mr.. McAdoos specific declaration
is this:
The President, who is comman-
der-in-chief of the army and navy
of the United States, must not have
the authority divided in the United
States between the Congress on the
one hand and himself upon the
other"
Congress is the body Mr.. McAdoo
is discussing here, with no reference
to either Republican or Democratic
control He proceeds, however, to
explain that the abrogation of the
authority of Congress can be ac-
complished by the election of a Dem
ocratic majority in both houses,
which obviously means that there
will be no exercise of authority by
the Democrats, but absolute dicta-
ton of legislative action by the
President

MAKING THE MOST OF
OUR CHILDREN g.
Parents

You never see a child continue long
any line of action after he finds it
doesn't get the desired results. In
this respect, children often are more
sensible than their parents.
Take the habit of teasing, for in
stance. One mother writes to me:
our little daughter expects us to
play with her all the time. She acts
very naughty if we don't play with
her every time she wants us to, which
of course isn't always possible. Please
advise how to overcome her disagree
able habit"
Simply set aside a certain amount
of time-say. five minutes-and let
the child understand at the beginning
of the tive-mtnute period that at the
end of that time you will have to go
to work. Once or twice at least be-
fore the time is up, remind her about
how many minutes more you can
play Then, Just before you leave, it
is a good idea to have her do some
stunt for YOU. Say, "All right, We'll
do this two more times together and
then l must GO" Just before execut-
ing the last stunt, announce that it
doing it, start to leave and even
though the child keeps on talking,
continue walking toward the place
where you are going to work. Never
20 back and do another stunt after
YOU have executed what you said
would be the last. The child may
tease. some at first, but if you carry
out this policy absolutely, she soon
will discontinue it naturally.
1t will aid you in solving your prob
lem to furnish her with some mould
ing clay. out of which she can make
little pies and cakes Make il a
point to leave SUGGESTIONS with her

The Rev. Edward. E. Curtis, for
seven years pastor of Westminster
Presbyterian Church and prior to
coming to Harrisburg for nine years
pastor at Chestnut Level, Lancaster
county, died of pneumonia at his
late home, 1902 Green street, yes
terday morning. He had been
seriously i'll for six days. His wife,
too, is seriously i'll. Word of his
death was yesterday communicated
to the officers of Carlisle Presby-
terry. The Rev. George Fulton,
stated clerk of presbytery, referred
TO the death OF the Rev. Mr.. Curtis
ias calamity to prsbytery. Funeral
services likely will be held on We'd
nesday morning. Necessarily, be-
cause of the ban on public funerals,
the services will be private, being at
tended only By members of the ses-
sion of Westminster Church, who
will be pallbearers. Burial will be
at Chestnut Level, within the bounds
Of the Presbytery of Lancaster.
Upon the retirement OF the Rev.
William MeNally as pastor of West
minister, seven years ago the con-
gregation called the Rev. Mr.. Curtis,
who then was serving his first charge
at Chestnut Level II was upon the
suggestion of the late Rev. DIR. e.
T. Jeffers. president OF York Col
legiate Institute. that Mr.. Curtis was
invited to fill the pulpit, the cOngre-
cation being advised of the success
OF the pastorats in Lancaster
county. The call followed, and the
Rev. Mr.. Curtis began a pastorate
that was characterized by untiring
work. Members of Westminster
Church who discussed the death of
their pastor yesterday did SO la

as to what she might make and then
approve her in due time for her ef-
forts. Not only furnish her with in
teresting things to occupy her atten-
tlon, and suggestions to carry on,
but IL is quite essential to show a
great personal interest in her affairs
and be enthusiastic about her doings.
Don't be afraid to use suggestions.
If you want her to like to play alone,
talk to others in her presence about
what a fine time she has playing she
is baking pies. taking her doll to
church, etc. Frequently during the
day when she is playing contentedly.
near you, make remarks about how
she likes to play at whatever she
tions will have their effect.
One may very quickly cure the teas
ing child by using firmness in the
proper way. Too often we have ex-
pressions like this: Wont you ever
get through teasing?" or Don't try
to tease me all day. can't you see I'm
busy" or DO you want to worry
the life out of me when / have so
much to do?" But these all suggest
fault-tindng. ,Such expressions also
tend to make the child think of him
self as being a teaser and a nuisance
which is by no means desirable. And
these expressions also suggest weak
ness.
The better idea is to make no sug-
gestions whatever that the child is
not the best friend you have, but in
understand that teasing doesn't work
with you and that you won't have it
done around you.
The child will soon learn and both
parent and child will be happier as a
result of this new policy.

broken voice and in many instances
with tear-filied eyes. He was dis
tinctively a pastor who mingled with
his people. He had made the mid
week prayer service unique and it
was his custom during the months
that followed the entrance of West
minister boys into the war to have
special services of prayer in their
honor.
Because OF the serious illness of
Mrs. Curtis, who was stricken with
pneumonia last April at the conclu-
sion of the meeting of Presbytery,
held in Westminster Church, Mr.
Curtis had been under a severe men.
tai strain. When the epidemic in
vaded the homes of his parishioners
he in no wise relaxed his y bors in
ministering to the sick. 1t is be.
lieved the task was more than he
could bear and he went down under
the burden. Although feeling badly
on Friday prior to taking his bed he
would not give up, and it was not
until the following Sunday he gave
way. His last official act was to
send notices to the members of the
congregation appointing a meeting
for the coming Wednesday evening,
at which time the congregation was
to be asked to join in petitioning
Carlisle Presbytery to dissolve the
pastoral relations. Because of Mrs.
Curtis condition he had accepted
the pastorate of the Presbyterian
Church at Les Vegas, New Mexico,
where he hoped change of climate
would benefit Mrs. Curtis He had
made all plans to leave Harrisburg
and was to have departed within a
few days.
The Rev. Edwin E. Curtis was 46
years old, a graduate of Princeton
University of the class of 1899 and
of the theological seminary of the
class of 1902. Several years ago he
married Miss Harriet Jeffers, daugh-
ter of the late Rev. DR.. E. T. LETTERS,
who survives him with one daugh-
ter. He was a member of the Har-
risburg Ministerial Association and
of the Presbyterian Cleric. Mem
! ers of the congregation are to be
notified of the arrangements for fill
ing the pulpit until a pastor shall
have been secured. The session will
submit resolutions and Carlisle Pres
bytery will take action.

Most authorities now agree that
what we call Spanish Influenza is
simply the old-fashioned grip, which
was epidemic here in 1SS9-90. The
influenza germs enter through the
nose and mouth and attack the lin
ing of the air passages - nose,
throat and bronchial tubes.
There is no cure or specific for
this disease, but Nature will throw
off the attack, if only you conserve
your strength. A competent physt-
clan should always be called. The
use of VapoRub does not interfere
with any internal treatment and it
is now being used by broadminded
physicians everywhere, in order to
stimulate the lining of the air pas
sages to throw of the grip germs.
to aid in loosening the phlegm and
keeping the air passages open, thus
making the breathing easier. Hot,
wet towels should be applied over
the throat. chest and back between
the shoulder blades to open the
pores. Then VapoRub should be
rubbed in over the parts until the
skin is red, spread on thickly and
covered with two thicknesses of hot
flannel cloths. Leave the clothing
loose around the neck, as the heat
of the body liberates the ingred-
iants in the form of vapors. These
vapors, inhaled with each breath,
carry the medication directly to
lie parts affected At the same
time, VapoRub is absorbed through
and stimulates the skin, attracting
the blood to the surface, and thus
aids IN relieving the congestion with
