Fresh Water Cures Ducks

"Duck Sickness" such as occurs
in various places in the semi-arid
West, due to alkali poisoning, can
be prevented by the introduction
of fresh water. This, however, Is
not always possible and the only
remedy in such instances is in col
lecting the sick birds before it is
too late and placing them in fresh
water. Such treatment has been
found efficacious and most of the
birds affected are rapidly restored
to health.

People in Korea seek to rid them
selves of all their distresses by
painting images on paper, writing
against them their troubles of body
or mind, and afterwards giving the
papers to a. boy to burn. Another
method of achieving the same OBJ

centrate more easily. Noises and talk

Reply.
Observation-Disclosures Is nowadays re-
garded little more seriously than 1t
used to be: that is, when it really Is
bad enough to interfere with good
mental habits, and happens pretty con-
stantly. not just now and then. There
Is no doubt that Observation-Disclosures Is
temperamental 1t Is something that
one Is born with, but can be made
worse by neglect or better by training
Observation-Disclosures is really narrow
present-mindedness. It is an attention
habit natural to a certain type OF mind.
Attention is like lamp with a wide
illumination throwing the rays over a
large area; or 1t may be like bulls
eye lantern narrowed to a small field.
Attention also has another dimension.
It may be powerful. like a lamp OF SO
or 100 candlepower, or febelefi like
a little two or three candle fashlight.
The absent-minded attention acts Ike
the bull's-eye lantern, but 1t may be
no more powerful than what another
mind employs over wide field.
Some kinds of employment require a
wide-angled attention. It is hard 70
say Just what makes a good secret
service" man. He certainly must have
eyes and ears alert and see anytnlng
and everything that goes on. Doubt
less also a hostess at her dinner table
has a widc-angled attention. She no.
tices whether the meal Is being served
properly, which guests seem to be TAX
ing pleasantly and which bored. she
Is alert to all sorts Of little signs and
appearances. On the other hand, the
surgeon concentrates on the operation; !;
he has a trained corps OF assistants 10
hand him every instrument ne needs,
as everything depends upon his perfect
concentration.
Now, for ordinary practical purposes
one must be fairly observant and alert.
The ci1ronically absert-minded persons
have a handicap of the attention. How
ever common, the absent-minded Is
none the less not quite the normal type.
1t is only when this tendency toward
ABSORPTION in one field so completely
shuts out possibilities in another that
absent -mindedness becomes prob
lem. There is no way to prevent 1t II
it is by nature strong; but If only mod
crate, definite attention exercises in
spreading the attention over variety
OF details helps. Some recommend

Your Baby and Mine
ny MYRTLE MEYER ELDKED

Mrs. o, E. Y.--Thank you for Offer
ing to give help to one Of my readers,
but this is courtesy which / cannot
extend to readers. Besides am afraid
that the cure of eczema is too individual
a matter for you to feel that the same
treatment which cured your baby would
cure another child. Eczema Is caused
by something wrong with the child,s
food. but what that wrong thing Is
varies with different children. The cure
comes from changing the food and not
from any salves though these are help
full in healing the skin eruption tempo
yarily. We offer general information
on what foods NAV be responsible for
eczema, which may be had by sending
self addressed and stamped envelope
to this department.
Mrs. j. w. R--It was very interesting
to hear that you had been cured OF per-
sistent bed-wetting by osteopathic treat
mcnts. 1t was nice of you to write me
| about 1t. Perhaps Mrs. o. l.. y. Will
read this and know that you suggested
that she try this.
Mrs. H. j. S. writes:-"I have baby
boy 90 months old who during the last
month has Wakened one or more times
at night He has not before wakened
at night since monthe of age. We try
letting him cry and after a while he
stops. but We find him sitting up wide
awake. Our doctor does not find any
thing wrong with him. He has l6 teeth,
weighs 28,. pounds and has four bottles
of milk daily, vegetables. cereals. eggs
and bread He seems perfectly healthy"
Answer-The boys diet is rightt bar
ring fruits) and his weight excellent.
The cause of his nightly wakefulness
must come from other causes. Too
much activity in the daytime. Not a
long enough nap period. Too much ex-
element just before bedtime. Too much
food at the night meal. These are the
most frequent causes OF wakefulness
Are you reading him exciting stories In
the day time or just at bedtime? Try
to weed out the possible causes and
prevent the formation OF any habits OF
demanding attention at night by giving
the boy drink OF water. covering him
up and leaving him alone. After he has
gone back TO sleep you can make sure
that he is adequately covered for the
night.

Text: II will give thee the worth OF
1t in money! Kings, xxi2.
You know the story. Naboth had q
vineyard, adjoining the grounds around
the palace of Ahab, King Of Samaria
Ahab wanted that vineyard. He thought
he needed it to complete the grounds
about his palace. 1t was more Of fancy
than anything else. But the fancy hav-
ing possessed him, he must have that
vineyard. So he goes to Naboth to buy
it. Naboth does not want TO sell. The
vineyard was sacred ground to him. II
was an inheritance, and had been hall
lowed by his fathers feet. But Ahab
was insistent Mark the terms Of his Of
fer: II will give thee the worth OF 1t In
money"
The worth Of 1t in money! As though
everything had q marketable value
There are a good many men like Al1at
In that respect. The only valuation they
know anything about Is the vulgar valu-
alton OF the market. To the finer and
more delicate sentiments of life they
are utterly insensible. They seem unable
to appreciate spiritual values. They
look at everything through moneys
eyes, and sum up everything In terms
OF dollars and cents.
Said Ahab. II will give thee the worth
of 1t in money" NAY, nay, this vine
yard is sacred ground" replied Naboth
There are some things money canno,
buy. There are some doors 1t will not
unlock. There are some spheres ir
which money Is rude offense. There
are some things too precious for barter
which cannot be bought or sold. TC
even the most common things there may
be attached sentiments and spiritual as.
sociations which give them an unmar.
ketable value. It would be healthy fol
| us all to remember that some things are
beyond moneys market.

WHY WE DO WHAT WE Do
By MEHRAN. X. THOMSON. PHI. D.

Suggestion and imitation also play
their part. We interpret each others
character and unconsciously modify our
attitude and conduct.
The thoughtful husband and gentle
father may be tyrant in the shop
The timid boy In school may be quite
swaggerer among his gang. Think
how differently you conduct yourself In
the home. in the lodge, in church. In
your place of business. toward superiors.
toward interiors. toward members OF
the opposite sex.
We show different sides Of our ma
ture to different people because We have
a tendency TO do what Is expected OF
Ills, to live up TO our reputation. This
works both ways. II you act as though
you expected your prospect to buy, you
have q better chance OF selling him
goods than II you act as though you
do not expect to sell. The teacher who
expects good behavior on the part OF a
pupil usually gets 1t more effectively
than one who anticipates trouble.
Human beings are a peculiar type OF
weathervane. We change with the
changing atmosphere. but the force OF
our own personality helps to create that
atmosphere.
