TRIBUTE TO YANKEE FIGHTER
Magazine Writer Describes the
"Doughboy" as All the World
Has Come to Know Him.

George Pattulli, a magazine writer
who has been with General Pershing's
army in France, has paid tribute to
the American fighting men that is wor-
thy Of reproduction in every county in
the United States. Says Mr.. Pattulli:
"The American soldier is about the
finest human specimen on top Of the
earth-rough and ready, grumbling,
never giving up; always able to laugh,
even at his own plight; holy terror
in fight; ruthless to an enemy capa-
BILE Of resistance; generous to fault
to beaten foe; hating nobody, fearing
none; with backbone enough to storm
hell, and the gentleness to win
child"
France knows this, England knows
it, even Germany has hazy idea that
a Yankee doughboy Is combination
Of an angel from heaven and devil
from hell. Isn't 1t about time for
Americans to realize the worth of their
fighting sons Exchange.

EASY TO CURE "NAUGHTlNEss'
connmon-sense Methods OF Dealing
With Children Will Always Be
Found Effective.

A morbid exaggeration and perver-
SION Of the natural desire which all
children feel for notice by their eld-
ers, is held by Thomson to be the
cause Of abnormal naughtiness in
children. These cases are of essen
TALLY the same nature as those Of
"moral imbecility" in children who
are in some degree mentally defective.
The proper lines Of treatment are
clear enough, and when carried out
consistently and thoroughly are rap
idly and completely successful. They
may be summarized as follows: ~
All severe corporal punishment must
be stopped-it never does any good.
(2) Nobody must ever appear shocked,
amused or even surprised at anything
a child does. (3) His misdeeds are
never to be alluded to, much less de-
scribed, in his presence; and, lastly,
he should be noticed and encouraged
in every way when he is good and al
together ignored when he is naughty.

given the task of converting at least
three others from the use Of facial
camoufiage and showing them that
it is to their advantage to give the
skin and complexion a chance to de-
velop naturally.
