BE Or AND BILE.

Be A<'R AND BILE.
Prof. w. A. Osborne, a distinguished
chemist, explains, in very illuminate
ing way, that the liver is especially
susceptible to alcohol poisoning, be-
cause the alcohol, before it is eliminate
ed from the body, repeatedly assaults
that organ. 'Every one knows" said
Doctor Osborne, "that the liver forms
bile, and that bile is poured into the
bowel. Now, when alcohol is taken 1t
passes into the stomach, and from
there to the bowel, or small intestine,
and is absorbed there. Everything
that is absorbed from the stomach or
the bowel has to go to the liver, and
nothing is allowed to enter the gem
eral circulation until it has been prop
erly sifted and treated in the biggest
organ we possess--the liver. 1t has
been found, in the case Of alcohol, that
when alcohol has been absorbed in the
bowel it reaches the liver, and the
liver really does not know what to do
with 1t. There is practically no pro.
vision in nature for the utilization OF
alcohol "a very significant fact. I may
here parenthetically remark).
when alcohol reaches the liver the
liver manages to destroy some, but q
great portion of it is turned out in
the bile, and once more reaches the
bowel, and then the liver, and this
cycle Of operations goes on for hours
and possibly days, until the alcohol
is gotten rid of. All this time 1t is
constantly irritating and injuring the
liver, and this explains the fact which
medical science has known for long
time, namely, that the liver is one of
the organs of the body which is singu.
larly susceptible to alcoholic degen.

Corps is a French word derived
from the Latin corpus, body, either
civil or military, as police corps, ma
rine corps, etc. 1t does not signify
any particular number, but an organ
lied body. In the United States army
u corps consists of two or more divi-
siOns, each containing three brigades
and each brigade three regiments. The
term first came into use in this country
during the Civil war period.

she say to herself consciously or sub
consciously? Let us be honest and
face the facts, for judging by her re-
suits it is something like this: 1T Is
lovely to have this darling baby and
l am just going to enjoy him in my
own way; don't believe these people
who make such a fuss about training
children get ON better than those of us
who don't bother about all this mod
ern highbrow stuff. A mother knows
best what to do for her own child. OF
course | will take good care of his
body for want him to be WELL but for
the first few years l am going to let
him be a happy little animal. don't
like to play with children anyway,
and reading to them is bore. Be-
sides, am too busy. He can just play
around as other children do and when
the time comes, go to the kindergarten
and 20 school and be taught there.
While he is at home and my baby am
going to do just as want with him.
Being my child. he will of course come
out all right in the end
Danger in Neglect.
Now sometimes he does, but In spite
of home influences rather than because
of them. Thanks to his teachers, his
companions and the sharp lessons of
experience he often manages to grow
ND fairly decent man. But, oh, what
he has missed! And alas for the pow.
ers Of mind and soul which never I'M
folded, for the spiritual development
unpossessed which might have been
his!
On the other hand, often he doesn't,
and IN view of this fact how does any
mother dare to take chances? For
from the ranks of the so-called, and
well-called spoiled children come the
fretful, fractions, screaming, unhappy
babies; the shy, self-conscious and un.
controlled kindergarten children; the
irresponsible seatter-brains of the pub

es for seats or the little chairs which
each child may bring from home. The
materials already on hand for use by
the children in the home, such as balls.
bean bags, blocks, Mother Goose and
other story books, will serve the whole
group. The other mothers of the neigh
borhood are sure to be willing to con-
tribute, for the use of all, materials
which their own children possess, and
each child can bring some of his pen
MES for the purchase of paper. paste
crayons, and so forth.
7 Fortunately, when we built our six
room bungalow. we provided nursery
for our little ones, a large practical
room with fireplace and built-in
shelves, so that our group found space
for all indoor activities there. ANY
room not needed for other purposes at
the time of the school session might
be used equally well.
AS center for outdoor work and
play, we had sandpile under the
trees. This had been left by the build
ers, and to close it in the children dug
trenches on four sides, into which we
inserted planks.
Baby Center of Attraction.
For pets we had goldfish, mother
bunny with little ones, and our, own
tiny baby of three months. The baby
served as center for many of our
doings; many times our songs were
sung to him, our houses of blocks made
for him, our table constructed for him.
The children watched him grow
through the months and he was the
real handspring of our group life.
Since the group was made up of
children of varying ages, each younger
child depended on an older for leader
ship, assistance and consideration.
The acknowledgements learned to
lend hand to the four-year-olds and
to be patient and kind with the littlest
ones.
Having neighborhood nursery
school has tremendous advantage for
the busy mother who has difficulty In
finding time for uninterrupted work
and play with her own child. Children
will play contentedly together for long
hours, especially if they are provided
with a few materials to work with.
And as the hours of the nursery school
are known in the vicinity, the children
confne their visits more and more to
this time. The whole routine of house.
work is accomplished more quickly and
in better spirits when at the same time
the mind is occupied with the learning
of stories. finger plays, songs, games,
and so forth, and on the planning Of
work for the children.
The nursery neighborhood school not
only affords the busy mother in the
ordinary home means of giving the
right kind Of training to her own child,
but it provides the opportunity for
knowing, in an intimate and unusually
happy relationship, the children who
are to be his playmates for a number
of years.

cHILD'S EVERYDAY EDUCATION
BY KATHERINE BEEBE.

In one of her interesting and illuml-

The Mothers Viewpoint.
Now what has happened at home to
two such little creatures equally en-
dowed at birth? What is the reason
for this unhappy difference? The an
swer Is In the fact that the mother OF
the one child from the first intimation
of its existence has consciously or sub
consciously reasoned with herself In
some such way as this: This little
new life win come to me possessed OF

a developing soul. During the first
years his growth will be so rapid ana
