Nail Biting.

Nail biting is an ugly habit. There
is nothing pretty about the appear
ance of a child busily gnawing his
finger ends. His eyes have an
distracted and haunted look. his
muscles are tense, his whole being
lost in the lower level of conscious
ness. That in itself ought to make
US watehful to help the children
fight this tendency.
Tho children who do this are usual
ly the sort termed nervous. They
worry a lot about lessons and tasks
and troubles of more or less i'm
portance. Concentration seems to
make the lower, the old man in us,
seek for comfort against the stress
caused by the demands made on our
minds. We revert to the race-old
habit of sucking our fingers when in
distress, children and grown-ups alike.
I have seen gray-haired people begin
biting their nails as they studied what
next to do. It is something we have
to train out of ourselves and the
time TO begin is in early childhood.
First make sure that the finger
ends are clean and free OF grit and
roughaned skin. Any discomfort there
is promptly registered and promptly
soothed by way Of the comforting
mouth Keep the nails polished, even
the little rim that is left after a stiff
attack Of biting. Examine the con-
dition Of the nails night and morning
and speak about it,
Amounting the finger tips with Bit
ter medicine does not help much,
The confirmed nail bitter will lick 1t
off and continue to bite. Bitter things
are tasted by the back of the mouth.
so IL the child licks off the bad taste
with the tip of his tongue he is
scarcely inconvenienced, though. his
stomach may be upset later by the
performance.
Tying up the hands may keep the
fingers out of the child's mouth for a
short time-you cannot tie them up
for a long time-and then he will

II Is especially of the latter that |
would speak today. A great many

the term interchangeable. In one
sense of the word it is. inasmuch as
cotton is used in the making of Isle.
But 1t is equally true that all cotton

Different Process.
A different process is used in the

spirited child is injured by that sort
of thing and the phlegmatic one sinks

to get che child to wish to keep his

child having a different reason. per-

musician cannot afford to bite his
nails, as the delicate sense of touch

How can I keep my children quiet

Answer-Why should the children
be kept quiet? 1t cannot always be
done without injuring the child ma

But if he remains quiet too long when

Did not our Lord command His
opponents to search the Scriptures.

If so, why do you say that the
center of Christian faith is neither a
creed nor a book, but a person and
a life?
Answer-The Pharisees TO whom He
addressed these words were given TO
the worship of the letter of the law
and of rabbinical tradition. In its
minute and strict observance they be-
lieved they had the passport to eternal
life.
The form of our Lords address
