Child Training at Home
THE FAVORITE

Gently started the discussion. Some
thing had been said about Hortense
and her children and Grace remarked,
isn't little Jack Hortense's favorite
child?"
The Sentimental Mother was
shocked "My DEAR" she exclaimed re-
proachfully, mo mother worthy of the
name loves one child more than an
other! It's impossible for mother
to have a favorite among her chill
dren.''
But the Practical Mother. as usual,
brushed aside, mere superficialities.
Nonsense - she retorted. at is impos-
sible that any woman who has more
than one or two children should not
have a favorite, even IL she never ad-
mits the fact to herself. Within one
family the children will often differ
very widely in natural disposition.
temperament-in every possible trait.
If mother has several children 1t is
almost certain that there will be one
among them who Is naturally more
congenial to her than the Others"
She paused, and then added with her
surprising frankness, for she is one
who openly admits what other people
are apt to conceal and deny even to
themselves, "Now my little girl is too
much like me for US to get along
tremendously. She is quick and high
strung too, and, frankly, she often
gets on my nerves. But little Frank
is exactly like his father-very calm
and placid and easygoing, and I'm
really much more fond of him."

in the point of view of the Practical
Mother 1t is possible that in one Of
her children a mother may find more
congenial and responsive nature than
in any Of the others. But the ques-

her to feel such a preference, but
whether she is justified in letting it

The critical time Of a woman's life
usually comes between the years of
45 and so, and is often besetwith an
noying symptoms such as nervous
ness, irritability, melancholia. Heat
flashes or waves Of heat appear to
pass over the body, cause the face to
be very red and often bring on head
ache, dizziness and sense Of suffo-
cation.
Another annoying symptom which
comes at this time is an inability to
recall names, dates or other small
facts. This is liable tomake o woman
lose confidence in herself. She be-
comes nervous, avoids meeting
strangers and breads to go out alone.

Compound is especially adapted to
help women at this time. It exer-
