manager of the Northern Pacific, st.
Paul, acknowledging receipt of the
petition. He assured Mr.. Parker, af-
ter. going over the entire situation,
that the present passenger service

their patrons as far as practicable
and that they were glad to. comply
with the request of the Sank Centre
business men.
He did state, however, that the
business demanded slight change in
the present schedule. Starting with

Thumbsucking.

This very unpleasant habit starts
in early. The baby learns that he
gets delight and comfort through
sucking. He associates that process
with the pleasantest experience of
his young life. In time of stress, in
loneliness, in pain, he seeks that COM
fort. His soft wee thumb and pudgy
hand comes as close to the remem-
bered JOY as he can get and he starts
sucking his thumb.
You take 1t out and he promptly
puts Sit back. You persist and he
shows every sign of anger. You slap
his hands and he only yells the loud
er and the instant he Is left in peace,
in goes the thumb. Soon you notice
| that he Is spelling the shape of his
mouth. II he continues past the time
when he has teeth he pushes his
teeth out of line. You put bad
tasting stuff on his hands, you tie
them up. you scold and coax and
cajole and he calmly or wrathfully
sucks his thumb.
Putting bitter stuff on his thumb
doesn't help much. You see. he
tastes bitterness with the back of his
mouth. and he SOON learns to see
that it does not reach there. He
sucks and lets the saliva run out of
the corner of his mouth and so gets
very little of the dose you meant him
to have. And you do not dare put
on enough to thoroughly dose him
lest you upset his stomach.
Then what can one do? We have
never found anything to work better
than sitting beside him and taking
the thumb out each time he puts it
in and ignoring his protests. The
habit reaches down to his uncon-
scious mind, back to the time when
he was a dreaming infant feeding
from the breast or the bottle. We
have got to get the idea up to the
level of his conscious mind and treat
1t there. The only way we know to
do this is to constantly remove the
thumb from his mouth and say, You
are not a baby any more You are
big boy. or a big girl, and can
drink your milk from a glass
And teach him to drink from cup
or q glass just as soon as you can
manage it. Even drinking off the
edge of a spoon will help. If the
child can talk, he should be using his
cup and glass and spoon and they
will aid.
Then try to keep his hands busy
with something to do. Putting
clothes pins along the edge of a pan
or a basket. stringing spools. putting
skewers through spools and punching
them hard on the floor is fine eXer-
else and keeps 2-year- quite hap
PLY employed. 1t Is when his at
tention Is unoccupied and he is idly
dreaming that he will suck his thumb.
Keep him conscious of what he is
doing and he stops.

men-and the most manly among
them-once wore even more lace than

once considered rather a mannish

from sane society.

the renewed interest in velvets.
