SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Brice Belden-

IN the training of every child
Awhether boy or girl, the prob
lem always arises as to what de-
gree the natural exuberance OF
youth should be checked, controlled
or repressed.
If we let our little folks run
around as they please, eating and
doing what they please, it Is plain
that their health soon becomes un-
dermined and that, besides, they
grow up into unsocialized IL not
definitely lawless individuals. We
know we must guide them and we
realize such guidance means re-
straining them. There are few
mothers who do not wonder Just
how far they should go.
The over-repressed child is COM
mon enough. He is tinid, Sc
elusive, shut-in. He is likely to
develop fear of the dark, OF ami
mails. of rough play, of many
things that may become the fore
runners of a nervous affection
later on.
Such child, because the par
ents repress him too much, loses
his mental and body vigor. often
he becomes anaemic. He is more
susceptible to disease. In effect,
he has become scared to express
himself and this lowering of the
spirits gradually lowers his gen.
eral vitality.
The opposite picture, however,
is no more attractive. Allow a
child to give way to his instinc.
tive animalism in every way and
soon he becomes so impertinent,
stubborn and wild that he makes
the life of his mother, teacher or
guardian veritable misery. And
such an untamed creature is
bound to get himself into all sorts
OF trouble, break a leg. be run
over or otherwise do injury to
himself.
No set, hard and fast rules can
be laid down as to when to re.
press. how to repress or how much
to repress.
One child often differs from an
other as day and night. Even
sisters and brothers, with an iden-
teal hereditary background and
bringing.up, are markedly unlike
in habits. intelligence, emotional
traits and response to correction.
what is one man s meat is
another mans poison" so far as
this matter of repression Is con-
cerned. A look or a harsh word
viii suffice for one. For another
the punishment must be frequent.
ly repeated and more severe.
But generally speaking provided
individual difference are taken
into account, we should repress
our children as little as possible.
Or, putting it another way, re-
press only so much as is consist
ent with their best welfare.
We know that strong repres-
sions in childhood offer a most
favorable soil for the sprouting of
functional nerve disorders in adult
hood. Over-repression also leads
to ideas of inferiority and lack of
punch and efficiency in later life.
1t is far better that, as parents,
We suffer a little annoyance from
our children who, after all, are
having pretty hard time of 1t
adjusting themselves to the ways
of the world, than have then grow
up into men and women who are
afraid OF their own shadows.
1t Is easier, of course, to coerce
and scold at every turn. But 1t

The Greatest Treasure

"A q country. station in South

They had come to the station in
little, cut-down flivver that

had kissed and clung while the
rest OF US turned away with
sudden choke In our throats.
Now the train was pulling out
and she was watching, her fran.

And / thought OF all the wives
and mothers and sweethearts who
had watched with aching hearts
while their dear ones went from

And how out of that, heartache

THREE-MINUTE JOURNEYS
By Temple Manning.

CRETNA GREEN is famed in
NJ song and story as the scene
for runaway marriages. Until a
law was passed in 1856. a man
and a woman could be married
in Scotland merely by signifying,
in the presence of witnesses, that
they desired to be man and wife.
The celebrant did not have to be
ordained to perform the "cere-
1nony." However, as a rule, one
person, generally the blacksmith,
had the monopoly, using his own
form of service and registering
the names of the happy couples.
