TRAINING The
LITTLE CHILDREN
BY Mrs. John Henry Hammond

BY Mrs. John Henry Hammond
The other day was reciting to my
! little five-year-old son the old nursery
rhyme:
"Here am I, little Jumping Joan.
When nobody's with me, I'm always
alone"
"What does that mean?" asked the
child.
"Why, when nobody's with you
aren't you always alone?" I ques.
toned.
"No," he replied, because God is
always with me-"
How shall we measure the signifi-
canoe of this early realization of our
Fathers presence everywhere? For
with the knowledge that God is pres
ent to help at all times, our children
lose the sense of fear-and there is
no greater lesson that we can impart
to them. From earliest infancy we
can begin to awaken in our children
the sense of the all-presence of God.
Froebel, in his "Mother Play" a
series of songs and games which he
devised as illustrative of how a
mother should play with her chill
dren, always seeks to make her look
from the things which aret seen and
temporal to the things which are un-
seen and eternal; the father is to
manifest so much patience and love
towards his little ones as to make the
transition of idea from the earthly
to the heavenly Father simple and
natural. The child is to be trained to
look upon himself as necessary and
responsible part of great whole,
and to be taught that the whole can
only be as strong as the weakest link.
This is the basic thought of all true
community consciousness. And from
his earliest infancy he is to be taught
to show gratitude to all who aid in
ministering to his needs.
written about sense testimony, and
so much is done to meet the physical
and mental needs of our children both
in the home and at school, there is a
tendency to forget the teachings CT
Froebel and to give our children only
a partial education, an education
which stops short of their spiritual
needs.
A momentous question, and one
which all parents must answer indi-
vidually, is "Do we want our children
to be merely healthy little animals
with a certain amount of superficial
learning, or do we wish to develop
their deeper natures so that one day
they may be able to take their place
in the world, and through their spirit
ual insight into things, become powers
for good in the community?" For par
ents cannot turn over their own re-
sponsibilities to the teachers and ex-
pect them to lay the foundations of
character. The home is the place
where this must be done and it is for
us to prove to our children that it is
only as we are good ourselves that we
help those around US. Then, imitation
being one of the earliest and strong
est instincts of childhood, our little
ones, taking knowledge Of US, begin
practicing in their own lives what
they see in ours. And living in an
atmosphere Of love and harmony, they
come early to understand that love is
the greatest power in the world.

most convenient way. Don't waste
any food; don't throw away good
containers.
In Canada the regulations for pub
lie eating places apply to picnics,
bazars, lawn socials and all festive
occasions. We always think of di-
vinity fudge and chocolate cake as
an inseparable part of the church
fair or club bazar. But now it's
the duty of the committees on ar
rangements to find substitutes. There
is no charity in earning money with
foodstuffs that are necessary to life
in the allied countries.
Like Canada. we must put our
selves under Food Administration
jurisdiction at picnics as we'll as at
home. 1t makes little difference
whether food is thrown into a gar
bage can or left in the woods, except
that there it makes a mess. 1t is
more in both cases than a matter
of waste.
Much as we would at times, we
dare not forget the war. We are in
the fight now, and even at picnics we
must be soldiers on the home front.

Some Of the most worthy officers
in our American Army are known by
German names of the old. before-the
war variety. and no one claims they
are less American because of this.
Sauerkraut may sound like Ger
many. but it has been an American
ritizen for man generations. No doubt
some of our martial forefathers ate
Bauerkraut while the flies played
Yankee Doodle. There is no reason
now to forgo the use OF cabbage pre-
pared in this appetizing way just be-
rause it has an alien enemy name.
With the large crop of cabbage
coming on all over the country. it is
the patriotic duty of Americans to
make use OF it BECAUSE of its food
value One of the best ways to pre-
serve cabbage is in the form of sauer-
kraut and for this reason the United
States Food Administration is en-
rouraging its use and dlscouraging
the objection OF it on account of its
name.
Just plain boiled" is not the only
way to serve sauerkraut- To cook
1t with pigs feet or shanks of pork
has long been the costum of hundreds
of American housewives, and sauer-
kraut baked in casserole with ground
summer sausage has stood the test of
many trials. A salad may be prepar-
ed by soaking sauerkraut in ice
water for an hour and serving il with
French dressing.

By the time Elizabeth Wade had
reached her room. she had conquered
the Impulse to yield to tears. But
she was too wide awake and ner-
vous to think of sleep.
Seating herself at the open window,
she leaned her head on the sill, and
thought over the situation carefully
She wishe that the summer were
ended. yet she knew that she would
be sorry to part from Butler. She
acknowledged now to herself that
she liked him. She would not look
deep enough into her heart to admit
how much she liked him with each
passing day.
She wished that the summer were
rated in the autumn, she would ever
see him again. Then she recalled
what Mrs. Butler had written to her
son about Douglas Wade's attentions
to Alicia Suppose that Douglas mar
ried this girl. How absolutely alone
his sister would be.
Elizabeth Wade had always i'm
agined herself as sometimes keeping
house for her brother. Even when
she urged him to marry. she had done
so because she thought that for his
sake it might be well. From the
standpoint of her own personal happi-
ness, she knew that his marriogt
would mean that he would need hel
no longer.
He might protest that this was moi
the case. But deny it as he may

lily. He may love them as much a:
ever. He does not need them any
longer.
All this Elizabeth unused out now
She was feeling very much depressed
The fright she had experienced hat
been followed by a physical and ner-
vous reaction. How were things go
ing to end anyhow?
She was reused from her gloomy
reflections by the sound of footstep:
under her window. Leaning out, she
peered down in the darkness to where
Istfolling along the narrow walk skirt,
Hg the house.
She Hears an Auto
She knew it was Butler. At the
same time she heard an automobile
driving into the barn-shed across the
road.
Amos Chaplin must have heard it
too, for three minutes later he EN-.
erged from the house. He spoke as
he saw John Buffers form in the un-
certain light.
"Hallo!" he said. "I heard the cal
come in. I don't know what ails Cliff

But these meth

like that described But these meth
ods are futile.
Results count. The fewer words
the better. A good spanking might
De administered but this too often
results in lessening the confidence
between parent and child and so,
IN the long run, it does more harm
than good. The method described
Is the proper one because il accom-
phshes the immediate purpose and
leaves no undesirable after effect.
Many parents are at a loss to
know the best way to approach their
children when they want them to
do things. Should they request
them, command them, suggest to
them, ask them or what? One
mother heated water for her little
nve-year-old boys bath and ap-
preached the subject in this way:
Say, Jack, don't you want to come
in the house and take your bath
now This, obviously. is absurd
OF course, he doesn't WANT to and
the only natural answer is a mega
tive one or suggestion to put it
off.
The child should be given a large
amount of freedom in unessential
matters, but when it comes to impor-
tant matters, or when obedience to
your wishes is involved, assume the
attitude of one having absolute au-
thority. Ask no questions or opin-
ions. Simply say what you want
done in an eXpectant manner.
And the chances are it will be
done.

Cabbage PIenti-
tul dndHedHhful

Because cabbage gives off a rather
unpleasant .odor when it is cooking
is no reason why it should be used
only on rare occasions. Kitchens are
usually provided with outside doors
and windows through which the odor
can readily escape. Cabbage is a
vegetable which can be secured more
easily than any other in most parts
of the country. 1t grows almost
everywhere and with care can be stor-
ed for winter. 1t contains valuable e
food elements and supplies bulk to a
meal.
Now that the United States Food
Administration is advising that local
ly-grown food products be used as
much as possible, the use of cabbage
becomes a distinctive food conserva-
tion measure in most localities. The
following receipts will vary the COM

did she happen to be walking? She
went off with Cliff"
Yes. And he had a puncture, so
she walked home alone" the young
man commented dryly. "It was a
very unsafe thing to allow her to do
as was proved by the fright that
Talak, half drunk as he was. and his
brute of dog caused her."
She ought not to have left Cliff
like that" the farmer declared in an
annoyed voice. Times certainly have
changed since 1 was young. There's
no managing girls nowadays"
"All the more reason that men
should look out for them" was the
blunt rejoinder. And I may add, too,
that Talak-half- witted creature
may be only useless; but If he
drinks-as is evident-he may become
menace. His dog is one already"
II told you I couldn't pay for a
higher-priced man." Chaplin com
ploined it is you who's getting a SAL
airy from Wade to say what ought to
be done. But if Wades got the
money for a better farmland than
Talak, well I haven't"
The girl. crouching by the window
above. started as she heard the
younger mans reply.
The Old Man Is Obdurate
Il have already told you, Mr.. Chap
in, that I am not paid a salary.I am
here because I wanted to come, and
because, DR.. Wade did me the favor
to allow me to do So"
Surely. Elizabeth reflected, Douglas
meant Amos Chaplin to fancy that he
could afford to engage a scientific
farmer. But Butler did not know
this and had spoken a truth that
showed Chaplin that the owner of the
farm was not yet a financial success
Before further words could be eX-
changed, Clifford came UP the path
/ to the house.
Well" he said. "I had rotten
puncture a half-mile back. Had to
put in a blowout patch as we'll as
a new tube. Lizzie got home all right
l suppose?"
The farmer spared John Butler the
trouble of a reply.
Yes, she's home now, all right
Butler tells me he met her quite a
way down the road. She'd been walk
ing alon, and was scared by that dag
of Talaks. Butler wants me to get
rid of the Pole, but tell him he
suits me all right. He'll do the work
tell him to do. and he's not got any
notions of knowing more than those
that know more than he does"
He's a fool" Clifford commented
But he suits me-" Chaplin repeat
ed. His dog don't. though. Sooner
or later we'll en- that brute's
career"
1T would be good thing If you
did" Clifford rejoined. II told Lizzie
to wait till changed that tire But
she wouldn't"
Without a word. Butler walked in
to the house. Elizabeth could fancy
what hot words trembled on his lips
words he dare not utter to the rela-
tives of the girl who, he felt, had been
Sreated most ungallantly by her own
cousin.

" HE old rule that children should
obey their parents, seems
sometimes to have fallen into
disuse. We frequently find Amer
lean children actually giving COM
mands to their parents. Some spoil

Here is a simple case. One moth

My two-year-old son asks for
drink and when l go to give it
to him, he says, No" If
start to put it up, he begins to
cry for it, then l offer it to him
again with the same results.
Will you suggest a proper way
to break him of this habit?''
The next time your little SON asks
you TO get a drink for him and you
are kind enough to get it and offer
it to him and he says NO" simply

Do not show the least bit of tenn

anything that he says for at least
five or ten minutes after he has said
No" If he cries, let him cry. Do
not show the least concern. If you
look directly at him at all. smile
just enough for him to see you are
not disturbed.
If he asks you for a drink again,
go over to him, look him squarely
in the eye and ask very slowly, DO
you want a drink ?" If he says he
does, get it for him. Just before
giving it to him, take hold of his
arm and make a positive suggestion
that he is to drink. He probably
will.
AS soon as he does drink, throw
out your chest, smile and say, That
makes you feel good, doesn't it?''
This will have the effect of reward

of defense, which Immediately noti-
fed Building Commissioner r. G..
Graham to issue no permits for
work costing more than the above
named amount.
The Davenport officials took the
matter up with Colonel L. T. Hill
man of the Rock Island arsenal,
who, it is stated, has promised to
aid in having the order annulled as
far as Davenport is concerned. This
action is to be taken as there is a
shortage of houses in Davenport.
The government has ordered that
no paving or other public improve
ment work be done in Davenport
until after the war or with govern
ment sanction. Lack of material is
given as the reason for this order.
Houses Are Few.
Rock Island officials expect the
same orders to be received here,
but as far as the erecting of houses
is concerned it is believed that this
order, if applied here, will be an
nulIed as houses are scarce to such
an extent as to force the govern
ment to inaugurate its housing plan
to obtain ample facilities to house
wOrkmen at the arsenal and other
factories having war contracts. The
city has opened bids for improve
ments in the locality where govern
ment houses are to be erected.
These will be allowed to go through
regardless of the receipt of a gov
eminent order, as it is believd that
the order, if received, will be the
same as sent to Davenport, which
allowed for improvements connect
ed with the housing plan.
