Finding Cause of Child's Laziness
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

who liked to sit around and take life
easy, but that whenever this was the
case that there was some very real
cause for this attitude. 1t does not
signify that all such children are sick,
not by any means. 1t does not signify
that their Discrimination to be active
should be respected because of its
reason.
Unjust Epithet.
Little children generally are not ex-
pected to do much but play sleep and
eat. 1t is when they get to the age
of adolescence that they are apt to
give the impression of Sinking work.
They hang back when asked to run
upstairs and get a book mother has
forgotten to bring downstairs, or to
go 20 the store for something that
must be had in a hurry. They even
seem to prefer to loll about and read
0" idle away the time doing nothing
comfortably. 1t is then that parents
say:
johnny wish you weren't so
lazy" dor Ruth, what is the matter
with you? You never seem to want
TO do anything | ask you. You're
getting too lazy for words
If it was appreciated that children
are going through the second most
rapid period of growth in their lives.
and that this act of growing in itself
uses up their energy we would know
enough not to dub the children lazy.
IN fact according to the physician,
this is a harmful thing to say. for
children are particularly sensitive
during this time of adolescence.
Activity Natural.
Children are naturally active They
want to do things. They delight in
lavishly spending their energy. This
is normal. So when they cease to like
to do these things there is q cause.
1t may be the mere act of growing
and developing. it may be their teeth
ii may be some aiment that can be
easily remedied if attention is given
j.. Parents should not appear to be
anxious. Probably there is no cause
for it. and children dislike to be fused
over.
Essentials.
The first thing to do is to see thai
the children get plenty of sleep. 1t is
amazing the amount of sleep some of
them need Without it, they cannot
keep we'll and strong. Another es-
sential is plenty of nourishing food.
Do not heckle them about their APP.
petites. See that they have the right
sort of food. and then let them eat
to satisfy their needs. Often they are
raVenous. This is natural. Feed them
well. See that they have plenty Of
good fresh air. Keep them out of
doors by making it attractive for them
to be out in the open. If they like TO
read, now is the time for the mother
TO see that interesting reading mat
ter is ready for them TO enjoy. Good
stories. tales. adventures and whole
some novels that are not lacking in
thrilling incidents will appeal For
get the notion of the children being
lazy. The physician certainly would
be right in asserting that they were
not, and in no undecided terms

Invalids may now travel in COM
fort. OF course, no one is exactly
anxious to be an invalid, but so long
as there are people who are sick
and have to be moved around, and
to and from the hospital, an auto
mobile especially designed for their
accommodation is quite the proper
thing.
That is what the Augusta firm of
Knowltn and Hewins thought and
they now have what those in the
know say is the last word in trans
portation facilities for sick people.
Officially. it is known as an Invalid
Coach, and that is just what it is,
for it is designed first and last for
the comfort of those who are sick.
The coach is a big six Studebaker,
remodelled to meet the requirements
of it's duty. On the inside is an
electric fan for cooling the air in
hot weather and an electric heater for
warming the interior when the days
are cold. Then there are move
able spot light. which may be used
anywhere about the car. shades and
an emergency bell for giving proper
notice when the coach is speeding
in its work of succor. The car Is
equipped with semi balloon tires
for easy riding purposes and carries
trunk in the rear. So large Is the
interior, that there is room for two
attendants besides the driver and the
patient,
Perhaps the. biggest feature of all
about the coach is the Bomgardner
invalid cot. BY the use of this
patient may be carried from his home
to the hospital without being changed
until he reaches his bed in the insti-
tuition. The Bomgardner cot IS ad-
Unstable to any position and may be
wheeled anywhere. and is so con-
structed that it may be adjusted for
ease in moving the patient up or
down stairs.
In order to remove the cot from
the coach. all that is necessary is to
loosen a lag screw at the base OF the
partition The cot may then be
wheeled to sidewalk, platform or any
other place. While in the car, it is
held in position by dog on the
floor.
In addition to the Bomgardner cot,
the coach has Gwin-t4eX neid
stretcher which is something much
different from what has been used
before. 1t meets all the require
ments Of modern stair work ana re-
moval of a patient from cot to bed
The new Invalid Coach is now IN
use in Augusta and has been at
tracing much favorable comment. 1t
the only one of it's kind in tins sec
ton of the State.

BAY STATE REkLT0R
AMAZED AT NATURAL
RESOURCES OF Maine

George f. Moulton, real estate
dealer of Newburyport, Mass, has
come to the conclusion that the State
Of Maine is a pretty big sort of a
community.
Mr.. Moulton was In Augusta,
Monday. He was under the parti-
cular guidance of Herbert A. Folsom,
formerly secretary of the Augusta
Chamber of Commerce and now
secretary of the Chamber at New
buryport.
For all he is the head of Chase and
Lunt, Inc, one of the largest real
estate concerns in eastern Massachu-
sets, Mr.. Moulton had never before
his present trip been to Maine.
SHOW me your State" he said to
Mr.. Folsom recently. Mr.. Folsom,
who was for some time connected
with the State Forestry department,
was only too glad of the chance to
point out the beauty spots of his
native land. SO with Mr.. Moulton,
George Moulton, Jr, and Edward
Hubbard, the party started from the
Bay State last Friday.
Up to Monday afternoon, they had
visited Lucerne-in-M Maine, Bar Har-
hor, Lafayette Park, Kineo, Moose
head. the Rangeleys, the Belgrade
Lakes and places in between. Mr..
Moulton was so enthusiastic over all
that he saw that he has already
picked out dozen places where he
plans to spend month next summer.
To tell the truth, as he himself eX-
pressed it. he was overwhelmed at
the size of Maine and the countless
beauties it has to offer.
From Augusta, the party left
Monday afternoon for Lewiston and
Auburn and will go down through
the Sehago Lake region to Portland
and from there along the shore to
Old Orchard. York Harbor and the
other famous resorts. They'll be
back in Newburyport, Tuesday night.
