SPARE THE ROD

Two men, both farmers, stood IN
the corner talking earnestly, We will
not give their names but will cali
them A and B.
"But that boy of mine is incorri-
giblegible, B, and positively refuses
to obey either his mother or me. We
whip him almost every day of his life
and yet he is as willful as ever" A
was saying to B. B looked him stead
lily in the eye for a moment and re-
piled: you say you whip him al
most every day, and he still is willful?
Then it appears to me that your sys-
TEN is wrong. If your methods have
been unsuccessful thus far, it looks
like ineffciency to continue that sort
of punishment. Ecvr try kindness"
kindness your foot" sputtered
A. "Why he would laugh at u.s."
Better have him laughing than ex-
pecting a licking every day and learn
ing to hate YOU" B remarked.
Then B. said to him: II once read
little paragraph and / shall never
forgot it. want to quote it. The
next time you intend whipping one
Of your children, have photograph
taken of yourself when you are in
the act, with your face red with vul-
gar anger; and then the face of the
little child, with eyes swimming in
tears an the little chin dimpled with
fear. If that child shC9'd die can
not think of sweeter way to spend
an autumn afternoon than to go out
to the cemetery, when the naples are
clad in bright colors y = y and sit
down upon the grave and look at this
photograph, and think Of the flesh,
now dust, that you beat. "
"The words of some preacher or
sentimental writer in woman's mag
azine, suppose" said A.
"On the contrary, they are the
words of one of the greatest intidels
that ever lived. But doesn't it seem
rather cruel and brutal when we stop
moment and consider what we real
ly do when we whip our children?
Nearly always we are angry; we
strike the child who is helpless, with
club that bruises or whip that
cuts Our own flesh and blood, too.
And we expect the children to grow
up cherishing a feeling of love and
respect for us. A man who owns a
good horse is careful not to beat
him. He uses the whip only to con-
vey his wishes to the animal. Are we
more considerate of our horses than
Of our boys?"
But" reasoned A, Solomon said
Spare the rod and spoil the child
and he was a wise man"
Solomon had 700 wives, That
may have been all right then. But
one wife is sufficient in 1919" was
the reply.
At this point we walked away. We
pondered. And it seems that right
here in Greeneville the boys who are
whipped the most are not as studi-
Gus and obedient as are the ones who
are whipped the least or not whipped
at all.
Are we right?

Sanitary science has Of late made
rapid strides with results that are of
untold blessing to humanity. The lat

search is the recommendation that it

Those Of Us who are accustomed
to feel dull and heavy when we arise,
splitting headache, stu6y from q cold,
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid ston-
ach, can, instead feel as fresh as a
daisy by opening the sluices Of the
system each morning and flushing
out the whole Of the internal poison
GUS stagnant matter. -
Everybody, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning before
breakfast, drink a glass Of real hot
water with a steaspoonful Of lime
stone phosphate in it to wash from
the stomach, liver and bowels, the pre-
vious days indigestible waste, sour
bile and poisonous toxins; thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifing
tho entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach.
The action Of hot water and lime
stone phosphate on. an empty ston-
ach is wonderfully :invigorating. 1t
cleans out all the sour lamentations,
gases, waste and acidity and gives
one . splendid appetite for break
fast. While you are enjoying your

Dallas, Texas.-Driving furiously
into the Texas coast, principally in
the section southwest of Galveston,
the tropical hurricane that has skirted
the United States gulf coast for near
ly a week, apparently has swept in
land near the Mexican border. Wire
communication was interrupted in
most of the affected area and the ex-
tent of the storms damage could not
be learned accurately, but there were
no reports of fatalities.
Brownsville and Corpus Christi ap-
parently felt the brunt of the storm,
which has passed on into Mexico,
where it dissipated in the Mexican
mountains.
Galveston, where considerable anX-
iety had been felt, apparently was
struck by the edge of the storm area
and again the city was saved from
any considerable damage by the pow
erful sea wall constructed after the
1900 disaster.
Water was reported to a depth of
six feet in sections of Corpus Christi
anu lHlOI llidliOh IeCtiNtu NY bS
weather bureau at San Antonio said
the water was three feet deep in the
lobby of a Corpus Christi hotel.
Isolation of Brownsville was com
plete, so far as wire communication
was concerned, the only information
coming from that city being contained
in a brief wireless dispatch from Fort
Brown to southern department head
quarters at San Antonio reporting a
seventy-five-mile wind at 4 p. III.
The storm struck Galveston and
caused the tidewater to flood the bust
less section and the north side of the
island to a depth of three feet. The
sea wall withstood the onslaught of
the pounding waves, however, and
there was no damage to the causeway
connecting the city with the main
land.
By night most of the water had re-
ceded from Galveston's streets, al,
though an area of several blocks still
ran with water to the curb top. Mer'
chants declared their loss was moi
great. Galveston marine circles had
no reports of shipping loss.
