for twenty years but if Mary happens
to play hockey and go flivvering with
Jim and Joe she's in for Hail Column
bia when she gets home.
Set the right sort of example before
the child and if it doesn't follow them
try reasoning with him. Love, kind
ness and clean life will command n
stricter and more lasting respect than
the shadow of a willow branch.
We agree with the Judge and the
Herald that the fault is in the parents
and repeat a sentence of the Herald's
editorial: The parents of the country
will have to take a different stand on
the subject before there is a notice
able improvement in moral conditions,
which are now generally declared to
be deplorable."

COLDS AFFECT The
KIDNEYS
Many POCahOntas People Have Found
This TO be True.

Are you wretched in bad healthl
Does every cold settle on your kid
neys?
Does your back ache and become
weak?
Are urinary passages irregular and
distressing?
These symptoms are cause to sus-
pect kidney weaknesses.
Weakened kidneys need quick help.
Doan's Pills are especially prepared
for weakened kidneys.
Pocahontas people recommend them.
Ask your neighbor
A. Krebs, POcahontas, says: II
think colds settling on my kidneys
weakened them and a dull, steady pain
across my kidneys took all my strength
and ! didn't feel like doing much. NV
back ached all the time and hindered
me with my work. My kidneys we're
weak and rather active. | had heard
Of Doan's Pills and decided to try them

Pocahontas star herald., 1924-11-20

that you won't bear about.-Hardy
Herald.
There is probably quite bit Of truth
i'm what Judge Clark says, and there is
certainly a thought worthy Of passing
along in what the Herald editor writes.
But, as is always the case on a sub
ject of this sort, there are two sides
to the question.
From the remark of the jurist we
understand that he advocates the time
mellowed adage, "Spare the rod and
spoil the child" The wise old sage
who coined this phrase expressed a
thought which in his time held popu-
lar approval But like many other
theories of the by-gone days it has
been proven fallible by the new thought
and the new ideal of our advanced age.
The rod has without doubt guided
many wayward feet into the straight
and narrow path, but in our opinion
it has also served to hasten many feet
which were hesitating in the descent
to the lower paths.
Whipping a child when it errs is
like beating a refractory animal It
works on the animal because it in
spires a fear Of the lash. II works on
the child for the same reason Obedi-
ence inspired by fear of a whipping
is not wilful obedience. 1t is forced
obedience. II may cause the child to
respect parental authority-sO long as
there is peach tree limb parked be-
hind grandfather's picture. But when
childhood has passed and the fear Of
the whip is lost there is nothing left
Of that which inspired obedience.
In the old days Of ignorance when
children reached maturity before they
learned TO do their own thinking. fore
ed obedience may have been necessary
in the guiding -of their acts. In this
day, however, when the average eight
year-0ld has all the wisdom of the old
sages coupled with its own highly de-
veloped powers Of analysis there are
other methods of training more effec-
tive than the rod"
Children Of today "catch on" If
a parent errs the child is not long in
finding il out. II is natural for. child
to emulate the examples Of its parents
and many times it receives punishment
for doing just that. Bill Jones takes
