STRANGE THING IS MEMORY

Among the maryels of the human
machine, memory is, indeed, strangest.
The great bewildering fact of memory
at all---of the miracle Of the brain--is,
of course. as far beyond our finite APP
prehension as the starry heavens. But
the mino- caprices of memory may, hit
tingly enough. engage ones wonder.
The lawlessness Of our prehistoric
apparatus, for example-the absurdly
unreasoning system Of selection OF
such things as ere to be permanent
how explain these? And why should
memory be subject also TO that down
ward tendency in life which forces us
always to fight If we would save the
best? 1t would have been just as easy,
at the start when the whole affair was
In the making. to have given an up
ward impulse. That was not done, but
the memory, at any rate, being all
spirit, might have been exempted from
the general law. B;st 10; as we grow
older, not only do We remember with
less and less accuracy, but of what we
retain much is inferior to that which !
onne we had but now have losts-St.

BY PROF. N. v. o'sHEA.

Psychologists say that every child
has hunger for experiences which
are necessary for his development. He
Is hungry for sounds, sights, tastes,
smells and muscular strains and
stresses. These are all of fundamental
Importance in the building of his mind.
A child would be an idiot who was not
hungry for these sense experiences.
The only way he can learn about OBJ
jects is by investigating them with
every sense that will give him any in
formation regarding them.
Many persons who realize that a
child must see, hear, taste and smell
all the objects around him in order
that he may come to understand them
do not appreciate that the hunger to
touch objects is probably more acute
than any other kind of hunger. Ere
quently people think a child is mis-
chievous or willful when he handles
things around him when he is told not
to do SO. How often one hears parents
and policemen and guards at museums
and all such folks say to children,
Don't you touch that! Can't yoa
keep your hands off from things? ]
told you if you touched any of those
things again would punish you" AMI
so. But a child will handle objects,
even in the face of certain punishment
because his hunger for touch ,sensa-
tons is so overpowering that he can
not restrain it.
What is TO be done about it? In the
first place, the child should have as
great a variety of objects as possible
to touch and use in his play activities.
He should be permitted to explore
everything around him by means of
the sense of touch. If necessary, the
parent or the teacher or the guardian

After The II Flu.
Fever or Cold
Clean the Acidity and Toxic Poisons
Out of the Digestive Tract

Millions are now suffering from the
after effects of the deadly "hu," a
fever or a cold. Their appetites are
poor; they are weak, and they are
waiting for their strength to come back.
If these people could only realize
that the return to health and strength
would be greatly helped by giving at
tention to the stomach-that is, remOv
ing the acidity and toxic poisons from
the entire digestive tract, making it
act naturally, so that the body will
receive the full strength of the food
eaten-a great deal of suffering would
be saved to humanity.
Everyone knows that the disease it.
self, and the strong medicines that
have been taken, upset the stomach,
leave 1t hot and feveriSh, the mouth
dry, the tongue coated, a nasty taste,
and no desire to eat. This is a poor
foundation to build new strength on.
Now, tens Of thousands of people all
over this country are using EATONIC
for the purpose of cleaning these
poisonous after-effects right out of the
system and they are obtaining wonder
full results e so wonderful. that the
amazingly quick benefits are hardly
believable, just as shown in the re-
markable letter which Is published
upon the request of this sturdy old Civil
War veteran. He is II years old. Read
what he says EATONIC did for him:

should stand by and see that no harm
is done to valuable objects or to the
child himself. But if the typical child
be permitted to investigate such OBJ
jects as books and china until he has
discovered how they feel and how they
are constituted, until his touch-hunger
regarding them is gratifed, he will be
likely to let them alone thereafter UNI
less he needs to use them in some Of
his games or plays. A wise parent or
teacher would provide books, dishes
and the like which could be used in
play, and which would make it unnec-
essary for the child to experiment with
delicate things Of real value.
II a parent leaves an unoccupied
child In a room which is furnished
with fragile, delicate furniture which
he can reach, and if he is not per.
mitted to gain touch acquaintance
with these things under the guild
ance and supervision of the par
emf, then there is almost certain
to be trouble. The child will handle
the furniture when the parent is not
looking and accidents will happen.
Montessori apparatus, kindergarten
materials or Candoit toys in a house

chief that may result disastrously
to valuable books or china or other
furnishings. Catalogues describing
these various educational playthings

PICTURE BOOKS FOR BABY

Buy only the best picture books for
my babyg' a mother exclaims. why,
anything will do, If 1t is bright-colored
and will not tear"
But will anything do? Baby's brain
is eager and alert. He is taking in a
stock of ideas to use when he begins
to speak and read He is initiatives
and is learning to do the things he
sees done in his pictures. He Is de-
veloping his sense of color.
Pictures may be made the beginning
of baby's education as we'll as q de-
light to him. And what joy he takes
In entering into the life he sees in
each bright-colored printl But he will
not learn from them unless they
please him. He likes best, primary
colors, and large figures of animals
and Of children at work or play His
first books should be untearable, so
that he will not be able to destroy
them whenever the impulse seizes him.
The term untearable or indestructible,
however, does not guarantee that a
book will not be destroyed by rough
handling.
The picture books listed below are
selected from among the best of their
kind. Unfortunately many desirable
linen books are out of print on ac-
count of the war, while cheaply print
ed, dull-colored ones are taking their
places. The books recommended in
this list are still in print, and all are
ucational-fanciful or humorous
and will delight baby for the first year
of his life and until he is four years
old and older.
Mother may begin to play with him
at choosing objects in the pictures,
calling off the name of each object as
he points to it. This little game will
please him and will teach him new
words and their meaning.
