Sacrificing Your ChiId's Respect

she might do anything without
causing any especial surprise.
There are many mothers who
delude themselves into thinking
that they can control their chill
dren by making foolish threats.
''IlI let that dog get you" Is a
favorite mis.statement of foolish
nurses and mothers.
'1'H give you to the ice man."
Tor the milk man or the trash man
or some other public benefactorj
is another.
While the children are too
young to reason for themselves
these threats often strike terror
to their souls. And vino wants
terror in a little child's soul?
After they are older they know
the grown.up is lying. And who
wants to be caught lying
especially by a child?
IL you want the respect and the
confidence of your little boy and
girl, you had better stick to
reasonable statements and leave
off the threats entirely.

HOW TO CUT
COAL BILL
6 A PPRox1MATELY half Of

g A PPRox1MATELY half Of
"A the heat value in every
ton of coal burned in the aver.
age American home is lost, and
half of that loss could be
avoided asserts Edna Yost,
noted home economist, writing
In McCall's. She says:
When you stop to consider
that the Nations fuel bill il In
excess of a, billion dollars an.
nually, you begin to realize that
our much-talked-about diminish.
ing coal supply Is no fanciful
myth.
"The main objective In the
practice of fuel ecoonn1ies should
be not to reduce your family's
requirements for comfort but to
lessen avoidable heat losses.
Your problem is to discover
and lessen those losses that are
avoidable. They may be:
1. Absence of insulating ma.
terial and weather stripping.
2. Inefficient care and manage.
ment Of the heating equipment.
%. Exposed pipes in the cellar.
The magnitude of the heat
loss arising from bare pipes in
the cellar is seldom realized by
the person who pays the coal
bills.
THE answer to heat losses
from exposed pipes Is clear. It
usually pays to cover them. A
good covering il an insulating

asbestos u5 per cent?. It is sim.

glance its price may make It an.
pear a luxury, actual figures
prove it to be an economy. It
will serve for years and very
often the saving on the first
winters coal bills will more than
pay for it.,
Wonderful fuel savings have
been accomplished in old houses
by placing insulation. over or
against the roof rafters. Com.
bine such measure as this with
the use of weather strips around
door and window frames, and
there will be an appreciate saw

MOT long ago I was on a
Az train with several children
and their mothers.
One little boy, about 3 years
old, was crying-the reason for
which being that he was sleepy
and did not want to turn over
and fall asleep. His mother
worried along with him until she
was out of patience. Finally she
said:
IF you don't hush crying I'm
going to get off this train and
leave you"
The youngster ignored her
threat and kept on bawling. At
last she arose with great deter
mint ton and walked down the
aisle, saying, I'm going to get
off this train and leave you"
Seeing her depart, he yelled:
"Naw!' and cried the louder. But
he knew all along that she was

Don't Be Afraid

30. Your belief at 80 might be
your disbelief at 35.
Nor does this changing of
thought, ideals and ambitions
mean Vacillating character. Your
character is you; it should not be
shut away from the chance to
grow by vain clinging to out
worn beliefs.

Emerson. lis the hobgoblin OF

Of his being as the inequalities
