BERLlN-The rights of mothers-in-
law do not stand so high as they might
with the German Federal Supreme
Court, the Reichsgericht. Wives have
preference over them in all family dis
putes, says the Reichsgericht in sus-
tanning number of decisions Of the
lower courts in which the wives we're
given the edge over their husbands
mothers.
The cases in point dealt with married
couples maintaining joint household
with the wife's mother -in-law. In the
ensuing disagreements between the two
women friend husband invariably sided
with his mother and refused his wifes
requests that thev leave the 'in-laW'
out of the combination and live by
themselves.
Such an attitude on the part Of q
husband. the German Supreme Court
decided, represented fragrant violation
Of connubial rights and duties, involving
the respect of one party for another,
and entitled the wife with her child or
children to leave her husband.
By the same token Of respect for the
wife's position, the court also decreed
that she might divorce husband who
made a habit Of poking fun at her in

that it was one of the hardest exami-
nations ever prepared for enlisted men
and also expressed themselves as very
much pleased with the work in this

Nervousness means special liability

markedly disposed to such upsets that
they can hardly go through the ordinary
stresses of life without succumb.ng
These are the severe cases. In most

KEEPING MENTALLY FIT
BY JOSEPH .!ASTROW.

tir1e to correct nervous tendencies Is
IN childhood. Nervous children. IL not
properly handled. will have their nerv-
business intensified The Freudians
point out compleEcs and flxations which
result from unfavor2ble parental re-
iations. But in turn it seems likely that
5uch neurotic difficulties occur only in
those disposed to them
Ii hySterical child, as is likely, has
either a hysterlcal father or mother. he
or she will be brought uo in a hystarical
atmosphere. and nothing could more
definitely aggravate such original tend
ency than that kind of handling.
Nervous parents spread a nervous at
mcSphere which intensifieS such natural
hereditary nervousness as one or an
other of their children may have.
So the mind doctors point with great
assurance 10 the large number of cases.
especially among children. in which the
nervous symptoms were quickly reduced
by change of atmosphere, most of all
by removing them from parental infiu-
e1ce. Moreover. to a nervous parent,
nothing is so severe strain as minister
ing to nervous child. So N and E con-
SANITY reinforce one another: and 1t is
easy to understand how doctors or
psychologists may take rather opposed
positions and yet in reality differ only in
the relative emphasis OF the two factors
which they both emphasize.
Those who favor the environment as
the major influence will interpret many
forms of nervous symptoms as in reality
bad mental habits, and this, indeed,
they are. Such are the worrying habit,
the brooding habit. the resentment
habit, the irritation habit. the impulsive
habit. the tSnidity habit. the over -atten-
ton ght-discomfort habit, the too
dependent -others habit. the Sinking
habit and a dozen others easily men,
toned. A change of mental attitude
does wonders in diSsipating these devaS-
tatlng interferences with mental fitness,
and so Strengthens the view that they
are largely due to false attitudes and
largely removed by correct attitudes.
But the believer in heredity replies
that the very strength and obstinate
hold of these habits Is the result of a
tendency in that direction, and points
out that in almost all such cases there
ere definite nervous symptoms that are
not bad habits. He points out that in
each family members exposed to the
same influence do not develop neurosis,
end that often a shock or strain pre-
cipitates a neurosis when otherwise the
environment has been favorable.
Both agree that the most hopeful in
strument of prevention and treatment
lies in the field of early influences to
Offset specific tendencies and a regimen
of training to correct false attitudes.
On the practical side the two views ap-
proach each other.

Your Baby and Mine
BV MYRTLE MEYER EIDRED.
Cereal at Five Months.

Unless the child is chronic "vomiter"
and therefore is given cereal very early
in life as a corrective OF this. the aver
age baby will have it added to the diet
the fifth month. The nursing baby will
take his small portion Of cereal twice a
day from a spoon, while the bottle baby
may nave 1t also from spoon but with
part OF his bottle formula mixed with 1t,
These cereal feelings will come at the
10 and s o'clock feelings and be given
first. and then the nursing or bottle
feeding. One spoonful is enough to
start with, and tiny sprinkle of sugar
will make 1t so much more agreeable to
baby's uneducated taste that he will be
less likely to refuse IL.
One must keep in mind that the
earlier these feelings are begun the
more likely the baby will be to accept
them without demur The baby fed ex-
clusively on milk diet for many, MANY
months will look at this strange new
concoctlon with real distaste and so
unless feeding Is to become a problem
from the very first, 1t Is always wiser to
introduce new foods into the diet when
the baby is so young that he doesn't
dream of refusing them
The fine wheat cereals are the usual
first choices, and they need not be
sieved. Oatmeal, because it contains
indigestible particles which may cause
unusual bowel activity, should be Sieved
II the cereal feeding causes an unusual
number of movements, the mother is
overfeeding 1t. One spoonful won't
cause that. and one spoonful should be
given and no more. The taste of this
one spoonful Is important. 1t must be
just right, not thick and sticky and
hard to swallow, or so hot that IL burns
baby's mouth. Everything about that
first spoonful Of food should be pleasant
and baby will then want to repeat the
experience and cereal Is then firmly es-
tablished.
But suppose baby does spit 1t out. YOU
ask, what shall be done then? Stop it
for a day or two and then try again in
some more tactful manner Put the
cereal in baby's bottle or pour some of
the milk pressed from the breast over
the nursing babys mouthful, for this
viii have familiar flavor and not be
resented. Never use forcible methods
10 win this fight. Food should always
seem agreeable, and this can't come
about unless the mother keeps her head
and never grows excited or angry be-
cause baby pushes Ii off his wee tongue
just at first. Gradually he can become
accustomed to the new taste and the
new consistency of the food. and he'll
find he really likes it. II it is given
when he Is hungry and only in such
small portions that he would really like
more. II there we're more he'll be much
less apt to turn his head with disdain
and push the spoon away
