do YOU GU RID
| YOUR CHILD
By .. Lalnar MattheWsl

By il. Lamar MaJIneWsd
4 GIRL Of is with younger
girls and 4 nurse boarded the
train at Atlanta. 1t was evident
that they were the children Of
wealthy parents, and from their
conversation judged that they
were going on d pleasure trip to
the mountains, where they would
spend d week with relatives.
The youngest child was espe-
ciaIIy happy over the privilege
OF riding on q train q long way 2
She fairly dubbed over with joy
BUSINESS. OF course. she did all
the things that little children do,
when travelling. She sat on the
arm Of the seat, she knelt by the
window and pressed her nose
against the pane, she insisted
upon getting q drink OF water
every half hour, and she peeped
over the back OF the seat at the
smiling passengers behind her.
Nobody thought that was wrong,
except the nurse; and she scoIded
the exuberant young one con-
sistentIy.
why can't you sit stiII?'' she
demanded. "Get away from that
window, she ordered. No. you
can't eat now, wait until we do, ?
she said; and Behave yourself
was her favorite refrain.
Then in a few minutes she
decided to walk in the aisle.
But the despotic hand OF their
nurse shot cns and pulled her
back. II don't want to have to
speak to you again. she declared
threateningly.
Then, to my intense satisfac-
ton, the older sister, who ap-
parently had been absorbed In q
book most Of the time, sat up
and glared at that hateful nurse.
Why shouldn't she walk down
the aisle IL she chooses?" she
said. Now, Jane, you let Pat
alone. You have been nagging
at her all day"
And Jane meekIy subsidized.
while the baby snuggIed into the
curve OF Big Sisters arm.
Thousands Of little children are
cowed by the tyranny OF nurse
maids.
As soon as the child Is old
enough to resent such imposition
he begins to exhibit the results.
outbursts of temper, blatant, dis
prectful tones, bad manners,
cruelty and other destructive i'm
pulses show themselves.
No matter how far removed the
daily guardian is from the chiId's
parents, in birth or education,
that nurse or governess influ-
ences the child's character more
than anybody else.
II you are able-afld willing
to turn over your own flesh and
blood to another, make sure the
care-taker is a suitable one. Some
nurses have more common sense
and goodness of heart than some
parents I know. Get one Of that
kind.

BIRD SHOWS
DEVOTION

NHIE marlin. q long-billsd bird
i found along the banks of the
Mississippi during the spring and
fall Of the year, is famed because
Of its devotion to its companions.
Ordinarily these birds take to
wing at the slightest disturbance
but If one Of the flock is wounded
and calls for help, the others lose
all sense Of caution in their
eagerness to protect their fallen
comrade.
Torn by distress for the disabled
member Of the flock, they hover
about its body right under the
noses Of the hunters.

INFLUENZA WAR
(By Dispatch A. P. Wire)

NOGALES, March 20.-Virus bac,
cilli for innoculation against in
fluenza has arrived at Hermosillo,
the capitol of the state of Sonora,
Mexico, and will be distributed to
combat the FLU epidemic which
grips much of the state, said adj
vices here Friday
Heretofore the situation has been
regarded as serious, due to the lack
of baccili to innoculate. Hermosillo
and Guaymas during the past few
weeks have reported repeated re-
currences of the epidemic.
One hundred and twenty five Seri
Indians, living on the island of Til
buron in the Gulf of California di-
.rectly west of Hermosillo, are
threatened with complete extinction
due to the ravages of the flu. 1t is
understood that the virus baccilli
also will be administered to them.
Advices say that virtually the en-
tire tribe is on it's back.
The Indians, however, heretofore
have repulsed any effort to help
them, holding suspicion of medical
officials.
