A Pick Up n-Things Week

A Pick Up Your wn-Things Week
Ever so often the announcement of
a week devoted to something or
other offers food for thought.
We have Fire Prevention Week."
Give a Thought to Broadway
Week" "Clean-Up Week." and so on.
1t Is a good idea. We have yet to
see anybody paying any attention to
these things, but that's nothing
against it. The idea is there for any,
body to take out and play with, If he
chooses.
Applying it to the specific life of a
household might make the thing a
little more practical. 1t would take
it out of the realm of public philan-
thropy, and, after all, weeks, like
charity, should begin at home.
One could start, literally and
chronologically, with Getting Up in
the Morning" Week.
This noble reform is one that Is
often discussed, but somehow hard
to put into execution. Awakening the
family all at once and getting them
all to snap into action at the break
fast table promptly on the dotted
half hour Is no mean achievement.
And it requires good teamwork.
That's one job mother cannot do
alone.
Everybody Pick Up = His Own
Things Week" is another sweetly
riotous thought.
If it ever really happened there
would be wings and halos sprouting
all over the place. Still, it is worth a
tryout.
There's still another "week" which
probably wouldn't be very popular In
some quarters. But 1t would be ex-
ceedingly restful If it were suddenly
put into execution.
That is a "Mind-Your-O wn-Busi-
ness Week"

CHILDREN
The Court of Justice


One Mother Says:
Children like to be consulted.
Sometimes the repression of their
natural impulse to express their side
of the case sends them from the
room holly rebellious. They are
apt to carry on a day full of con-
trariness in such a temper, not IN
derstanding why their viewpoint is
not of some value. My little girl
knows she must obey me. but I
never refuse to discuss the why"
of 1t with her, taking into account
her own reactions.

For some time a circular has been
enclosed with each bottle Of our
medicine bearing this question:
s1Have YOU received benefit from
taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound?"
Replies, to date, have been re-
ceiyed from over $4,000 women
answering that question.
90 per cent of which say
YES. That means that %
ont of every 100 women who
take the medicine for the
ailments for which it is rec
commended are benefited byit.
This is a most remarkable record
of efficiency. We doubt if any other
medicine in the world equals it.
Think of it-only two women out
of 100 received no benefit-98 sue
cesses out of a possible 100.

Answer:
As 1 have stated before, this column is not a matrimonial
clearing house. No introductions will be made through it.
NO letters will be forwarded, so 1t is useless for the eleven
million middle-aged widows and spinsters, who are simply
pintng to cheer up just such lonesome widowers as H. {. K.
u.s. to send me their addresses. But isn't it pitifuI that the
men and women who would like to meet each other so seldom
do meet? And worse still that nobody knows how to de-
wise any way by which the right people can become nc
quainted with each other?

Answer:
CRITICALLY the man is the head of the house. The law
hoIds him responsible for its maintenance. The courts have
decided in numerous cases that the husband NAV determine
the place of domicile and all matters affecting the family
fortunes. But in this country, whether a man is King of the
Hearthstone, or not, generally depends on his wife's tempera-
ment. If she dislikes taking authority, he is the autocrat of
breakfast table. Otherwise he Is the Prince Consort, with
none SO poor as to do him reverence.

Answer:
There is nothing you can do for her now. 1t is too late.
You should have done it for her in the cradle, and it should
have taken the form OF the severest punishment your con-
science allowed. When Solomon made his well-known re-
mark about sparing the rod and spelling the child he said
something, in spite Of all the weak-kneed, spineless old
ladies of both sexes. Some children will yield to moral
suasion. Others require a bed sat, and that's all there is to
1t. You have got to curb a brute nature with brute force.
and with brutal means. 1t is all that they can understand.

OF course we know that our medi-

that a medicine specialized for err

But why should there be any supreme ruler of the home?
Why should either husband or wife arrogate to himself or
herself the right to rule? Matrimony is a partnership in
which a nlan and woman pool everything they have in life.
and they have equal rights and privileges in It, just as they
would have in a business partnership. 1t takes both a hus-
band and a wife to make a happy home. They must work
together, plan together, consult together to make a go of
matrimony. The ruler of every home should be two-headed,
as some of the Indian idols are.

There ae very few families that are not cursed with a tempera-
mental member. Which simply means that there is who is seIHshlv
determined to have everything he o she wants, and to run rough shod
owe everybody else. and to terrorie everyo n into giving way to hn
or to her by going into furies of temper. The plan works because decent
people feel degraded by taking part in a family row, ad they have a
horror of vulgar scenes. Therefore they hand the selfish beast every
thing he or she wants o n a silver salver, and walk OF eggs in his Or. her
presence to avoid rousing the devil temper they know so WELL and feaA
st greatly. And the temp@amentaI me goes OF his o r her way redc-
ing encouraged in cultivating the outbursts that pay such dividends.
II every child were denied everything 1t howled for, and
punished more severely for giving away to its temper than
for ay other fault. it would do more than any other one
thing to promote individual happiness, and stop crime. But

'Spotter' Who FIee8 House Of

ST. JOSEPH, Mich, May Isl en-
tered the House of David when 16
years of age, coming from Los An
geles with my parents. My mother
being a devout woman, thought it
would be wonderful to live with the
brother Of Jesus Christ"
On entering the House of David, my
parents turned over their property to
King Benjamin Purnen, and we were
sent to a farm to work, my mother
and father We're separated and I was
sent to a cottage to live with two
other girls.
King Benjamin seemed to Ike me
from the start. He praised my dane
ing. I was born in Honolulu and
learned the Hula dances from my
mother. I was appointed a ''spotter'
to report to Benjamin any miscon-
duct Of other colonists. If I saw any
hirtations among unmarried boys and
girls, or any other misconduct, re
ported it.
Benjamin and Queen Mary, his
wife. would praise me whenever I
made my reports and then repri-
manded the wrong-doer.
My ambition, like all other girls
in the colony. was to become a "Shi-
loh g1rl'-one who gave all Of -
time to waiting on Benjamin.
