her to be the most gentle and

Now l really don't know how
to manage her. She actually in

afraid TO anger her, have to shut
my lips tight and keep quiet,
Don't yon think in acting this way
she hurts herself more than she
does me? Is there any way at all
to cure her Of this dreadful habit
of impertinence? My husband and

must be clever. for although still
very young she already holds q
good position. According to her
mothers statement, outsiders, by
which is probably meant friends
and acquainances, think highly Of
her. Their commendation indi-
Gates lovable and attractive traits.
She may have a dozen delightful
qualities. and apparently she has
but one glaring fault-m irritable
temper to which she gives free
rein in the home. This is undoubt-
eddy sheer bad habit.
One member of a family too
often permits himself to fall into
the habit OF being unduly critical
Of the others. He gets into the
way Of saying sarcastic things. Of
calling unnecessary attention to
little faults. Almost all Of US want
those near and dear to US to be
good and charming in our way. and
are not willing to let them develop
their own Municipalities In their
own way.
And so we too often censure and
correct and counsel and advise and
even nag, until Il becomes a habit.
What has started as a tendency
grows to such proportions that We
would be Mortified II We actually
realized the disastrous habit We
had acquired.
This girl has probably never rec
ognized the fact that she cannot
be consistently horrid to her fam
fly and retain their love and es-
TEEN. Or perhaps she thinks she
doesn't care. She is no doubt too
young to understand that, even II
the family may have the disad-
vantage of a close corporation
with all the members pulling In
different directions. It also has the
advantages OF that body. It's IN
spoken motto is: "All for one,
and one for alI!" and IN time OF
stress or trouble the all-fOr-one
part of II is comforting and as
suaglng. and eompensates for the
inconvenience OF the ore-for-Rll
clause.
Praise Is Medicine.
Family life is a structure, and
every member OF 1t should feel
that he or she Is contributing
something to this structure. some
thing that will not only help
in the upbuildlRg but will cement
more firmly the ties that bind the
various members together, And
each should add something beauti-
full and harmonious, No one wants
an entirely undeeorated edifce.
"Out of my heart build home"
Is a line worth remembering.

her employers would do. They
cannot ignore her and leave her
out Of their social gatherings. as
her friends and acquaintances
would. They have to tolerate her
and bear with her as best they
can
AS for speaking rudely and dis
respectfully to her mother in the
presence OF others, that is really
a tactical blunder. She has been

THE INFLUENZA SITUATION

County Health Officer DR.. Bremen
stated to the SENTINEL to-day that
influenza was continuing to spread
here at about the same rate as last
week; probably there were a few
more down with the disease than at
this time last week.
Two deaths have occurred here dur
ing the week, mention of which is
made elsewhere. At the present time
there is said to be no critical cases in
Eureka, but the condition of Harry
Delaney to-day is not considered ia
vorable.
News from nearby sections outside
of Eureka is all favorable for the re-
covery of those afflicted with the dis
ease.

When the whole world is jubilant
over the peace victory, and the spirit
of rejoicing and merrymaking is
strong within US to celebrate JOY
fully the Christmas season now near
at hand, we must hold ourselves in
check and not murmer at the restric-
tons under which we are placed due
to the continued spread of influenza
in Eureka and throughout this Sec
ton. 1t is understood there will be
no public festivities this year during
the holidays; no Christmas trees in
the churches or public assemblages
of any nature.
The Mob Hill Fire Company's an
ual masquerade ball. always given
on New Years Eve and generally
looked forward to from year to year
with anticipated pleasure, will not
be held.
The children of Eureka must meet
their disappointment in not having
their Christmas trees and gifts from
the Sunday Schools, a custom that
has always been heretofore carried
out in Eureka.
