BUILDING. FOR FUTURE

be the reward to Sdmseif and Of
his child also. il, the 1boy allows
the lesson i of sselfishness to
take" A far better way IS to
urge your boy to strive for the
mastery day by day of his lesser
and weaker self. Not other boys
of less ability, but his own poor
ability will then be held in con-
tempt.
The mother who strives tc
have her girl win superior honors
over her school mates is thus
sowing the seeds of envy, hatred
and bitterness for the future OF
her daughter. She should teach
= her girl to love and praise iii her
mates and to strive merely to be
worthy of their happy fellowship.
The parents who would drive
off the bad" boy OF the neighbor-
hood merely to keep him from
communicating their own, are
very short sighted and selfish.
Through the same amount OF eff
fort they could teach their chill
dren to associate with the de-
spised one in a fashion that
would tend to save him, and also
to put good will and democracy
into the tender young hearts Of
their own.
If the bad" boy belongs in
the neighborhood and has no re-
sponsible parent to care for him,
then, his care and training IS a
moral responsibility for every
worthy man and woman about
him. They owe it to the boy, to
their own unseifish natures and
to the future of society to help
make a good man out Of that
boy.
Think, watch. be careful, Dear
Parent. Develop your child into
an unselfish man or woman and
thus save many a day of sorrow
or bitterness for somebody.

OPENING A
NURSERY
by LOrettO G. Lynch
An Acknowledged Expert In All
Matters Appertaining to House
hold Management.


A RECENT article on the
need of nurseries where a
"A mother might leave her
child while she shops, visits, rests
or goes to the theater, has brought
q host of letters to me. The ques-
ton each letter asks is, Just how
does one go about opening such q
placer"
In the first place, the woman
who would mind children by the
hour or day. must be conveniently
located. In other words, the
woman who has an apartment in
the heart of a residential neigh
borhood where most of the resi-
dents are young folks unable to
keep a regular helper, is in a
much better position to swing the
project than many Of the women
who write and tell me they have
a large home only an hours ride
from town with the usual country
surroundings.
The young woman who wishes to
leave her child in a kiddie koop
for an hour while she goes away,
will not travel an hour in each
direction to bring and call for her
child. My first advice, therefore,
is, If you are in earnest and you
have not a good location, get one.
One or more of the physicians
in the neighborhood who might
vouch for your surroundings and
yourself personally, will help
greatly, You might go to your
own family physician to whom you
are well known and get his
endorsement.
Once you begin to get your little
guests, one satisfied mother will
suggest your service to another.
No matter how much you may
want to add to your income, it is
bad policy to take any child which
seems to be ill. It is wise to have
a definite understanding with
mothers leaving children and OBJ
tain permission to call physician
If you deem it necessary while the
child is in your care. Be quite
certain as to whether you are to
feed the child, just what and
when

YOUR BEAUTY
A SPLENDID SERIES OF PRACTICAL Value

II your problem, however, is to
reduce your lower limbs in size,
your regime will be more strenu-
Gus. Your daily walk should be
longer and faster in this case
than that taken by the girl who
is trying to build up her weight,
and in addition you will need a
daily run
In the country this may be
easily managed. Perhaps you do
a bit OF running as it is, to catch
that o'clock train. Spasmodic,
frantic efforts are not what you
need, however, but at least five
minutes every day Of really brisk,
energetic running.
% A good plan is to stand before
the open window of your room
and there go through all the
movements of brisk run except
that you do not make progress.
Lift up your knees well toward
your waist and continue this run
ming step until you are tired.
Systematic swimming, dancing,
fencing and skipping the rope rs
you used to when-a little girl are
all excellent means of reducing
the size Of your upper legs. But
one word Of caution. Do not
over-exert yourself. Your COM
mon sense will tell you when to
stop, before what should be fun
becomes a physical strain.
