Child Training for Parents
By II. L. MANNING

The Arthur family-all except Bar
ry-was at dinner.
The pretty table with the we'll
cooked meal would have made most
anybody smile, but there wyre no
smiles around that dinner table.
Outside. the swish and creak of the
lawn mower bespoke the fact that the
lawn was being moved in the gloam-
ing. And Barry's empty chair at the
table spoke eloquently of the youthful
laborer.
The child's dinner will all be

they sat down.

over the cbild's punishment, she wise

the mower and meekly came in for
his dinner.
"Pm starved" he told his mother.
And mother smiled affectionately up
on weary little son as she gave him
the full plate she had saved for him.
And the next time Barry was given
task TO perform he performed it.
Now, Mr.. Arthur is the most devot
ed of fathers. That is why he exacts
obedience of his children. There are
never any wranglings, never any
threats Of punishment, never any
angry words. He is always courteous
and always kind. But when the chill
dren come up short in their duties
they are required to pay for the short
coming. When the debt is wiped out
that settles il. Then the child and
the father are just as good friends as
ever.
And though Mrs. Arthur is the in
dulgeut kind and ever ready to make
allowances for the young ones faults,
she never interferes and frankly adj
mits that father was right"
All of which leads right back to
the statement that only those who can
control themselves are fit to control
children.

FOXY GRANDPA'S STORIES
Bunny Finds a Well-disger in Africa.

-Yes," said I, "the equator is only
few miles from here" For we were
near the coast of Eastern Africa, nea r
the very line of the equator which d.
vides the earth into the northern and
southern hemispheres.
II wonder if you'd burn your foot
il you stepped on the equator?" asked
Bobby, looking up into my face.
IL don't think you have to worry
about that, Bobby" I laughed.
well, 1 was just wondering he
murmured rather doubtfully.
The weather is certainly what you
would expect near the equator" de-
clared Bunny, taking off his hat and
tanning himself.
Would you like q drink Of water,
Bunny" I asked.
"No, thank you, Foxy Grandpa"
he replied. 'Ill just nibble at thes.
aloe plants. The dampness in them
will satisfy my thirst-and then you
could save the water in your canteen
for yourself"
That's very considerate Of you,
Bunny" I said, patting my little rab-
bits warm head. Because, as far
as can see, if we run out of water
here well certainly be out Of luck.
There does not seem to be a stream or
spring in sight"
This suns hot enough to dry up
an ocean," gasped Bobby. II should
think where the equator crosses the
ocean, that it would just dry it up and
leave a dry ditch. I've been in hot
places, and heard about being able to
fry eggs in the sun, but I'll bet here
an egg would just sizzle and sputter
until there wasn't any egg leftp

it had been so warm that before we
knew it we had used up all our water,

Some Pointers
on Manners
BY Mrs. Beeckrnan
Where the Lady Walks.

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
My employer is out of town a great
deal. He is in the habit of praising
my work when he returns. The other
day he passed this remark: 81 want
you to know, Miss -, that 1 GER
tainly appreciate the way you carried
on the business when 1 was absent
from the office"
What do you think would be an
appropriate reply for me to make?
2. Is it proper for a young man
to walk between two ladies whom he
is taking out, or should the young
man always walk on the outside?
A. NJ.
1t is a delight to have you write us
that your employer appreciates your
good work. Good for you, and good
for him. Employers are so often
caught in the rush of work that they
forget TO comment on the co-opera-
ton of their employees. Therefore,
since he does have the thought to tell
you of his gratitude. answer just that.
For instance, say, "Thank you very
much. Mr.. Worth. 1t is very kind Of
you to telr me-" Or You are very
kind to tell me so, Mr.. Worth. ! ap-
preciate it very much" or Thank
you. ] am so happy that my work
pleased you. Please tell me if there
is any other way in which l can CO.
operate" or "Thank you. i enjoy the
work so much that IL makes me very
happy that you are satisfied with my
work"
.. He should walk on the side of
the pavement nearest the curb
whether he is with one lady or two
ladies.

Bunny was very much worried about
our discomfort. -..
Finally, we had 10 give up and
stop for the night earlier than we
usually did on these hikes. Bobby
lay down on the ground as soon as we
stopped and things looked pretty
black.
Suddenly, Bunny's ears stiffened, ]
knew he heard something. Up he
jumped and was off like a shot. We
could hear him crashing through the
thickets.
We waited. Although it was al.
most sunset, the heat settled in q haze
over the dried up river-bed by which
We were camping.
Then something happened. i heard
the crunching Of stones and then ]
saw a sight which / shall never for
get. Up this parched river-bed came
Bunny, and behind him was the big
gest elephant ever saw in my whole
life. There he was swaying along be-
hind my little rabbit with his great
ears Hopping and his long trunk sway
ing like a pendulum.
The elephant shifted at the sand
and every once in a while you could
see him stop as il to examine the
ground. In a moment, he stopped,
and what do you think he did?
That elephant started to dig hole
with his trunk and his fore feet. he
dug and he dug. And then, before we
knew it could see that he was drink
ing great draughts Of water, and when
he had had enough he took some in
his trunk and gave himself a shower.
bath.
Then he Numbered off and Bunny
beckoned to us and never in my life
had water tasted so good as it did
from that spring which the elephant
dug in the parched river-bed!

But I am not q prohibitionisti
If the other fellow loves his liquor
more than he does himself, all I've
got to say about 1t is 1 hope for his

I could sympathize lot more with
the vets when they set up a howl
about personal liberty and the deal

tight was trying TO drag the other fell
low on a drunk with him and the
other fellow was on the wagon
A fat chance a fellow has to stay
sober when his drinking friends make
up their mind to get him drunk!
It seems to me there is just as much
infringement Of personal liberty in
the fact that a wet won't let a dry
stay dry as there is in the drys want
ing the vets to stop drinking!
Hostesses are quite frank In
adding a clause to their invitations
these days that everybody invited
must bring liquor! The man oil
woman who does not drink, because
it happens they don't like liquor is
looked upon as freak for a prude.
They ought to have as much choice
in the matter as the other fellow.
Everybody who drinks isn't a
drunk, but even when a person has
sense enough to know their capacity
and wants to stick to it, they often
have to take on a few too many in
order to avoid a fist fight with the
fellow who never knows when he's
had enough.
Those who drink alone are looked
upon with disdain by the DRINKS who
think it is better to bust up a place
with a mob than sit off quietly in
some room and pass out without both
ering anybody!

can drink dippers of whiskey and

This Is the story Of Moses and those
he led into the wilderness so long ago.
$50 Moses brought Israel from the
Red Sea; and they went out in the
wilderness of Shur; and they went
three days in the wilderness and found
no water.
!"And when they came to Marah,
they could not drink of the waters Of
Marah for they were bitter; therefore
the name of it was called Marah.
"And the people murmured against
Moses saying, "What shall we drink"
"And he cried unto the Lord; and
the Lord showed him q tree, which
when he cast into the waters, the wa
tiers were made sweet. And there he
proved them. EXODUS
That is the story of Moses.
And the story of you and me.
Sooner or later each life goes into
| the wilderness.
It may be a wilderness Of fear and
discouragement, of hunger and pain
of broken hope and lost love, of pow
erty or hate or the bleached acres Of
spiritual despair.
Or it may be the wilderness Of "a.
tiety-the wilderness Of those who have
so much they lose the taste for every
thing. Which is, perhaps, the most
desolate wilderness of all.
But whatever the wilderness, 1t waits
for each one of us.
And when the time is ripe, we come
to the sands of loneliness and the
darkness of doubt.
The way is hard. Our bodies talk
and work and eat with other men
We do our tasks in our accustomed
way. But our real selves are in the
wilderness. No sound can reach us
there-no hand can touch US. We are
like blind, dumb spirits drifting or
the winds. We see no aim or mean
ing to it all-no reason why. There
is no end, no exit, from this place Of
dead desire.
So at last we come to that small
arid pool which we have fed by our
own sweat and tears. The pool Of
Marah, that last, bitter cup which
those who cross the wilderness must
drink.
But we cannot drink.
Our souls are parched with thirst
we cry aloud in torment for relief
but still we cannot drink Of Marah'i
bitter cup.
And then God proves US, az he
proved those wandering tribes.
II sometimes in the happier, fuller
years we have sown seed which in its
turn has made a healthy growth
IL love and courage have grown tai
within our lives and made a refuge
like a strong green tree
Then the clean branches Of that
growth which we ourselves have sowr
will be a solace to us in our time Of
need. They will sweet the waters Of
Marahs as love and courage have al
ways sweetened despair.
All those forgotten kindly things
which once We did-all the noble
dreams We dreamed-all the courage
Gus decisions we have made and the
brave risks we ran for the sake Of
truth or tenderness-they will stand
by us like a sturdy tree and their OWL
healthiness will make the waters Of
our life alive once more. They will
rescue us from the bitterness Of our
despair. They will take the salt out Of
our tears and the acid from our sweat
But if no gracious growth has risen
in our lives
If we have only lived for each days
selfish need, and reached no branches
toward n golden sky
Then is our wilderness OF Shur q
wilderness indeed!
Marah Will know no sweetening fol-
our thirst.
Then We must wander until truth

oysters and will find it less expensive,
than having fried oysters alone.
Remember that oysters quickly use

VEAL OYSTERS.
One pound veal.
One can oysters.
One egg. IS

Cracker crumbs.
Beaten egg.
Look over the oysters carefully for
pieces of shell. Grind veal and oys-
tiers. Add the egg slightly beaten.
Season if needed and shape to look
like large eastern oysters. Dip in
crumbs, egg, then crumbs. Fry in
deep fat or saute In little fat which
latter is quite satisfactory and much
easier. These are very good for sup
per, luncheon or even a dinner course
and are not expensive.
MACARONI SALAD.

One cup chopped celery. Z"
One green pepper, finely chopped

One green onion, minced.
One teaspoon parsley.
