T. Watch the child very closely at
first and the moment he oversteps
the line, walk very slowly out in the
yard-don't run after him-have him
come directly in front of you, and,
looking him straight in the eye, say.
Robert from now on, you are to
play inside of these lines. You must
not go outside without asking father.
Let's go and see what we can make
with the sand and blocks"
The most natural thing for parents
to do is to yell at the child and tell
him to come back in fault-finding
way, or whip him or tie him. But
these methods are sure to have a bad
result. The correct way is to speak
confidentially and friendly, though
firmly.
After teaching the child to respect
the boundary lines of the small plot,
which you use as a testing ground,
you may gradually increase the size,
so long as he proves worthy of trust,
until the outside boundary line is the
sidewalk or edge of the street. If he
becomes lax, narrow his border lines
until he can again be trusted.
If all children were given proper
and much-needed early lessons in
self-control, the state would not need
so many reformatories and jails.

the forest fires came from sparks
from locomotives. Careless lumber
men allowed the branches which
they Topped off the trees to remain
on the ground, and when they were
ignited by sparks the fire sometimes
spread to the uncut timber. AS the
facilities for eXtinguishing fire in
these unpopulated regions was prac-
tically nil, and the climate made the
timber particularly inflammable,
these fires usually attained serious
dimensions.
THAT points out again the ineffi-
cheney of your form of government,
he commented. you have laws re-
quiring the railways to use appli-
ancss to arrest the sparks from their
engines, haven't you? Why don t
you enforce them? Your people
don't seem to realize that it takes
years to grow a tree. Because you
have more than you need to-day,
you make no provision for to-mor-
row. For every tree cut down an
other should be planted. II you
don't adopt some such measure, the
time will surely come when Amer
lea will have to turn to Germany
for timber"
smiled at the idea of our coun-
try having to rely upon German
timber, but the Kaiser insisted that
at the rate we were using up our
lumber resources Germany would
soon have a greater supply availa-
BILE than we. l wonder if the Ger
mans have been planting new tree
for every one they have ruthlessly
destroyed on the continent of Eu-
rope during the past few years of
destructive warfare!
1t is a fact, however, that the
German laws are very stringent in
this respect. One is not permitted
to cut down a tree on ones own
premises without first securing the
consent of the tree commission, and
as the red tape" involved in an ap-
peal to the German authorities in
matters of this kind is most weary
ing, such applications are not fire.

Another illustration Of the kai-
ser's familiarity with our national
problems was afforded in remark
he made at the time of our financial
panic in 1907, which he said should
never have been possible.

THE KAISER AS KNEW

, noticed, however, that here anti
| aircraft guns had been planted, but
apart from that there was hardly
any more activity than there had
been at Pless.
While walking down the corridor
1 was stopped by an officer and
asked who l was, but, as a rule, I
came and went without molestation
and seldom had to show my pass,
which one of the Kaiser's adjutants
had given me and which permitted
me to enter and leave army head
quarters for the whole year 1917.
When 1 was driven through the
streets of Homburg, both coming
from and going to the railroad sta
ton, in the Kaiser motorcar, and
the second-man, or bugler, on the
front seat, blew the horn, people
came running out of stores and
from afar to get view of the i'm
portant parsonage who occupied the
Kaiser's own car! Many of them
saluted me or raised their hats, and
1 thought how angry they would
have been had they known they
were putting themselves to so much
trouble to salute an alien enemy!
The Righteousness of the whole
thing impressed me very much. For
the moment l was part of the play
which was ever being made to i'm
press and awe those whom the Kali
ser was pleased to refer to as my
people," but whose appreciation
means everything, even to mon
arch who rules "by divine right"

The Kaiser and Things American

have had patients of intelligence and
education ask me how we are able
to cope with the Indiansl In view
of the extent of German emigration
to America and the vast volume OF
commercial transactions between the
two countries, it is almost unbelieV-
able that such erroneous notions
should prevail in these enlightened
days, but they do.
This fact practically serves to
explain how easy it was for the
Kaiser and his inspired press to pull
the wool over the peoples eyes re-
garding the unimportance of Amer
ica's entry into the war. 1t doesn t
explain at all, however, how COM
pletely the Kaiser himself under
estimated us and our power, for l
doubt whether there is any for

America, who knows more about our
country than the German Emperor.
Indeed, he was more familiar with
many of our problems than many
of our countrymen, and he fire.
quently revealed to me in the course
of our conversations how thoroughly
posted he was on American condi-

Long before the subject of forest
conservation was taken up seriously
in this country, the Kaiser pointed
out to me what a great mistake we
were making in not devoting more
attention to it,

CATARRH VANISHES
Here Is One Treatment That All
Sufferers Can Rely Upon

If you want to drive catarrh and
all it's disgusting symptoms from
your system in the shortest possible
time, go to your druggist and ask
for a Hyomei outfit to-day.
Breathe Hyomei and it will rid you
of catarrh; it gives such quick re-
lief that all who use it for the first
time are astonished.
Hyomei is a pure pleasant anti
septic, which is breathed into the
lungs over the inflamed membrane; it
kills the catarrh germs. soothes the
sore spots. and heals all inflamma-
tion.
Don't suffer another day with ca
tarrh; the disease is dangerous and
often ends in consumption. Start the
Hyomei treatment to-day. No stom-
ach dosing, no sprays or douchesi
just breathe it-that's ALL Ask II. c.
