How to Handle Children.

MEETING YOUR CIILD'S PROB
LENS. BY Miriam Finn Scott. Lit.
tie. Brown & Co.. Boston.
1t is the instructive desire of all
normal parents to make the most of
their children, to train them rightly.
to develop their possibilities for
good. and to check and control their
possibilities for evil.
According to Mrs. Scotland she
has specialized In children's deyel-
opment for years, as playground d.
rector, as founder OF the uniaue
"Children's Garden" In New York, as
member of various institutions
concerned with child welfare-the
foundation for this training should
be laid in the home during the first
six years OF the chIld's life. She
believes that 1t is the parents treat
ment OF the commonplace details
that does the most to build the
structure OF human existence. .
Thus she presents the picture of
a normal homo. and takes up in de-
tall the correct handling OF the vari.
Gus little incidents and problems
that arise in connection with every
normal child. the far-reaching re-
suits Of many small faults. the over
looked causes of much that Is clas-
sif1ed broadly as naughtiness, the
value OF example. the wisdom Of
sympathy and careful Judgment.
Parents will find this an illuminat-
ing book In their handling OF their
children, and those who are already
familiar with the authors previous

varies from grave to gay; sunlight

however. caught him In its clutches.

The volume takes It's name from
short poem of rhyming couplets,
which. to this reviewer. smacks a
trifie OF Whitcomb Riley. and was
ill-chosen for the opening page. or
titse, OF the book. as 1t conveys little
OF the poets real worth or technique.
Most OF Mr.. Harrington's verse is
too long for any quotation here, but
one cannot resist the temptation to
record this little poem as It contains
n wholesome creed, which we would
all do we'll to adopt. He writes In

HOW TO MAKE CIDER
Prohibition Director Explains
Provisions of Law

Federal Prohibition Director Elliott
has requested that the following
article be published. 1t pertains to
the manufacture of cider.
1t has recently come to my atten-
ton that there is considerable doubt
and confusion as. to just what a per-
son may, or may not, lawfully do in
the matter of manufacture, use or
sale of cider; 1, therefore, desire to
take this means of informing the pub
lie as follows:
Any person who desires to manu-
facture sweet cider exclusively for
home use and to be consumed on the
premises may do so without the ne
cessity of procuring a permit and
giving bond. In the manufacture of
sweet cider sugar, or any other fer
mentable substances, should under no
circumstances be added to the apple
juice for the purpose of increasing
the alcoholci content, inasmuch as
such practice is held to constitute the
production of mash fit for distilla-
ton within the prohibition of Section
1892, Revised Statutes.
Any person desiring to manufac-
ture and sell sweet cider from his own
apples may do so without the neces-
sity OF procuring permit, provided
the said sweet cider so sold contains
less than u of 10 of alcohol by vol
ume and is drunk, or consumed, while
on the premises, or if it is to be re-
moved from the premises, it must be
preserved or sterilized in some man.
Newark post. (Newark, Del.) 1910-1969, 1922-09-20

ner and marketed in sterilized, closed
glass bottles or other similar con-
tainers to insure the alcoholic content
remaining less than " of 20 by
volume until consumed, but the re-
sponsibility for keeping the alcoholic
content beloaO IL of 10 By volun,c,
rests with the manufacturer or VEN
der. In any case where cider is found
upon the market containing more than
the allowed percentage the manufac-
turer or vender will be presumed to
have manufactured, or sold, as the
case might be, Intoxicating liquor and
will be subject to arrest and prose-
cution the same as though he had
manufactured or sold, so much high
proof whiskey or any other intoxicat-
ling liquor.
Under no circumstances can a per-
son lawfully sell, transport, or re-
move from his premises hard cider
or cider that has not been properly
preserved or sterilized in a manner to
insure the alcoholic content remain
ing below ~ of 10 by volume until
consumed, except that he obtain a
permit as a cider or vinegar manu-
facturer and be bonded as required by
law, after which he may sell such
cider only to vinegar manufacturer
who has a permit to purchase. Any
person, not holder Of such permit,
discovered in the act of selling or
transporting cider which contains
more than the allowed percentage Of
alcohol will be subject to arrest and
prosecution the same as though he
had sold or transported so much high
proof spirituous liquor.
