Elizabeth Wade, standing in the
kitchen, heard all this speech.
Butler was going to be alone with
Clifford Chaplin, and she could do
nothing 70 prevent it.
She remained in the kitchen when
Clifford, after running up to his
room for his bags, returned 20 his
parents. where they stood at the
foot of the stairs.
'Good-by." she heard him say as
he shook hands with his father and

Tired of Saving?

Are you tired of saving food ?
Tired of making bread from -four
you never used before, tired of going
without sugar, tired of having to say.
Il can't it's against the rules of con-
servation?"
Yes. and there are others who are
tired. The British Tommy and the
. French Poilu are tired of four years
in muddy trenches. The pitiful
army of civilians behind the lines"
is tired of Hun servitude. Some of
our own American boys may be
growing just a trifle tired of being
! 600 miles away from home with no
immediate prospect of return. No
one hears murmum from across the
water about the fatigue that lies
heavy upon the whole allied world.
They are out to win. They may drop
for a moment. but there is always
the second wind which never fails
TO come.
Here at home are persons who
complain of being tired of their share
in the war when that share is mere
~ judicious eating. They long for
peace as a time of bountiful food
as if more food in the future were
the only thing for which millions of
men have given their lives.
Grim, determined and uncom-
planning the American soldiers and
sailors go about their job. War to
them is a task, an opportunity. a
duty; so why complain?
The morale of this army of ours
is dependent on the strength of those
at home. A whisper of complaint
goes far and grows louder as it re-
sounds across the Atlantic.
Imagine the thoughts of a soldier

she planned to carry out her son :

Are you asleep, MARTHA" he de-
manded. You haven't said a word

Clifford saved his mother the
trouble OF a reply. I bet a dollar

The mother seized eagerly the op-
portunity he purposely afforded her.
Why. yes. she admitted, Il was
wondering if I hadn't set my bread
too near :he kitchen window. There's
often iraught there, and il seems
to be gettin' cooler. Lizzie will you
come in and help me move it?"
She had botched matters. Clifford
realized, q 5 he heard the ridiculous
request. Without word of demur.
the girl arose.
Let he go and move it for you"
she suggested.
"Oh. no, Id rather go with you "
the matron insisted.
AS the pair went into the house,
Butler walked to the end OF the We

Immediately after saying this. smile
and continue the play or say some
thing which will show him that you
have truly friendly spirit.
To often parents obey their natural
impulse and show that they are pro-
voked. 1t is common to hear express
sions like this: II wish you would
quit using bywords. No one thinks
il is a bit smart" But this has just
enough sting to it to make a boy
want to retaliate by teasing. The
method described is much better be-
cause it gets results without antag-
onism. Both parent and child are on
friendly basis.
rs it possible" asks another
mother ito teach little boys not tc
swear If their father does and thinks
it is cute?"
If swearing is the only bad habit
the father has and he is admired by
everyone and has the absolute conf
dence of his children, then it is al
most certain that he will teach the
children to swear in spite of the
mothers efforts.
AS a rule. however even the father
who swears himself will not want his
children to use profane language.
OF course if the father does not
cooperate, the mother must find some
way of linking the habit of swearing
with other bad habits. such as drink
ing. observed perhaps in certain
street loafers or derelicts of the
town. Thus she can strive to show
that even if father uses profane lam
guage, it is not something to be de-
slider by really mice" boys-nor is
it an expression of manliness.

with shells bursting all around him.
when he reads in a letter from
America, I'VE are feeling the war
now. We get no more than two pound
of sugar each month, and have not
seen wheat bread for weeks"
Feeling the war? Well, perhaps.
But not the way the women of North
ern France are feeling it. The strong
chain which pulls for victory must
not be weakened by a single link OF
complaint. The rules for saving are
no: unreasonable. Remember there
are those in this world who are real
" tired and are too brave to say so.

NIOU may think it sounds clever
to hear your small child use
slang or say naughty" words
occasionally. but when the use of
vulgar languages becomes a habit
there is no wise mother who is not
worried.
Even the mild use of slang tends to
establish a habit of slovenliness in
the use of the mother-tongue which
later is hard to break. Many parents
realize this and yet are at loss to
know how best to deai with the
habit.
with my five-year-old boy. there
is one thing I can't control" writes
one mother. He will use vulgar
language. For example, we will all
be seated at the table when Harry
will say, Gee, I had a great time
with the dog! He raced all over the
blamed yard with that darned old
bone. He knows that do not ap-
prove of this language. but he will
repeat darn" in some other way just
TO tantalize. What would you advise
under the circumstances"
First. play with this little fellow
in a way that will cause him to think
you are about the best friend he has.
Spend a little more time with him
than you have been spending. show
an interest in him and thus get him
to realize that you have in you the
power to make him happy or deprive
him of happiness.
Then, when he uses an objection
able word. don't show the least bit
of disgust or annoyance. Simply
get his undivided attention. have him
come very close to you and after a
brief pause, say in a very low voice
