MEALS AND
MANNERS
BY Lucy Lowell

IF your daughter is restless, dis
Il obedient and ill-natured, give
her a change of food.
Put dishes. before her that she
hasn't been accustomed to, and
make them interesting by serving
them attractively.
And If your little son is show
ing symptoms of becoming a des-
perado, entertain him a little at
the table. Make him feel that
ven a small boy may be a person
of consequence at the family
board.
These are suggestions offered
by Miriam Finn Scott. famous
authority on the care of children,
and herself the mother of three.
Mrs. Scott explained:
Most of the seeming difficulsie:
with children-those having to
do with wrong nervous reactions
such as irritation, disobediencc,
restlessness, bad manners-can be
prevented by the parents. Good
food, properly and tastefully
served. and especially a variety
of good food. is a corrective. But
it is understood that the parents
themselves must behave according
to the standards of perfection they
demand their children
Endless thought, Mrs. Scott
points out, is given to the enter
tainment of adults at their dinner
parties. Little or no attention
is paid to making happy the chill
dren's meal, although an attrac-
tive, harmonious setting and food
daintily served produce a tre-
mendous effect upon the juvenile
mind and through it upon the
hoCV

IN the pocket Of a ragged coat
= left hanging on the wall of
a poor house In Chicago, a re.
markable will was recently found.
Although the document was writ
ten on a scrap of paper by a
man who had been considered in
sane, this strange will created
much comment throughout the
country. OF the seven or eight
items mentioned in the legacy,
three OF them concerned little
boys and girls. The first one said
this:
ITEM: I give all good fathers
and mothers, in trust for their
children, all good little words of
praise and encouragement and
all quaint pet names and endear-
ments, and I charge said parents
to use them justly but generously
as the needs of their children
shall require

It is an experience. which most
parents suffer-after the children

children live. There is SO much
outside the home waiting to hurt
them; and the years are so long
after childhood is over-don't be
stingy with kindness and gentle

Long, long after they have for

are no Indications to vac
cination in the presence OF an
epidemic. Thus, out Of 3,346 hos
pital patients at Detroit who were
vaccinated, 80 were cases of cry
sipelas. 73S were confinements.
S76 were newborn babies, 81 were
yenereal, and others were infec-
tious diseases and tuberculosis
No untoward results occurred IN
any Of them.
In normal times the only. con-

No case Of smallpox occurred

There were IL cases among per-

with scars OF IL 10 20 years StdHu

attack of the disease itself.
Smallpox, when 1t does occur
in a vaccinated person, is always
Of the mild type.
Al second attack, however, In
people who have had the disease
earlier in life, but have not been
vaccinated, is very often fatal.
Failure to take on repeated vac
cination raises the presumption,
which is not positive, that a per-
son will not take smallpox.
These figures, in the lesson
they teach, could be paralleled
from any recent outbreak in any
part of the world.
1t is our duty to yourself, your
family and your community TO
encourage vaccination, even to

Motorists on Capitol Ave. today

famous house of Robert Hackney,
which now is proceeding majecti-

ly blocked for several days.
