How 1t Started
By JEAN NEWTON
"FOR THE NONCE"

FREQUENTLY in modern writing
l. and even in modern speech when
it Is Of the fowery kind, we Gomez
across the phrase "for the nonce,"
meaning for the present, for this par
ticular occasion.
The expression has an Old-world
flavor and it is to olden times that we
must go for its origin. 1t is one of the
few almost literal survivals of the old
Anglo Saxon tongue which, though it
is the father of our speech, Is usually
buried beyond recognition In the
changed syllables which CONSTITUTED
modern English.
"For the nonce" is relic of the
Middle English "for the nones," cor
ruption Of the contemporary then
ones" the IN" being relic of the
original Anglo Saxon, and the phrase
meaning literally the one, single, par
ticuar or present. Its original sig
nificance has been preserved In the
phrase which we use today.

SOUND AhERICANISh

M. L. Requa who has all his
life been an engineer, following
development of mining and Oil
properties, has written the most
important book of the year
Relation of Government to In
dustry." He takes up the three
favorite economic theories OF
discussing this probiem-pater.
nalism, communism and indivi.
dualism-presents and answers
them.
From two thousand years OF
political and economic history,
he brings out both sides of the
problem and reaches very posit.
i've ENTHUSIASTICALLY has,
cd ON experiences in Europe and
America. He proves that nearly
always when government under
takes to do for the people what
they can do for themselves, q
conflict arises between selfish
interests and the masses in wbic
the more selfish and more high.
~ organized elements have eve,
advantage.
Mr.. Requa is a Westerner, and
rendered valuable services dur.
ing the World War. All his stat
ements, statistics and conclus-
ions are backed by verified re.
cords, not compiled for political
or campaign purposes. This
book should be discussed chap
ter by chapter by the newspap-
ers OF our country, regardless of
politics, to help bring forcefully
to the attention of our citizens
granite sound Americanism
that has stood the test of world
experience.
First, Mr.. Requa predicates
that all progress and prosperity
is founded upon the desire OF
mankind for human betterment
Liberty, freedom, the right of
the individual to meet his fellow
man upon terms of equality"
Second, that whenever and
wherever sound economic are ig-
nored, the penalty is always
paid, the bitter cup of dissipoint
-ment is always drained to the
dregs* s.
The right of the individual tc
labor and reap in full measure
the rewara of the labor has been
productive of the multitude OF
things that are symbolic of hui
man achievement"
The foundations of this Rep.
ublic were laid by the Fathers II

ment was that which gave equa
rights to all it's citizens, leaving
the utmost possible freedom t
individual initiative in the deve,

In BED A WEEK
OF EVERY MONTH
Texas Lady Thought She
Would Suffer All Her
Life Till Her Mother
Gave Her Cardui.

when I first began suffering with
my head and back, I was very
young" says Mrs. M. S. Ward, of
228 North Twenty eighth Street,
Paris, Texas. Nothing did me any
good.
II was in bed a week, each month,
and never felt we'll. I suffered day
and night. I could never go to
school but very little, each month.
1 began to think I had to suffer the
rest of my life, until my mother
read about Cardui.
"She began giving it to me regu-
larry. BY the first week, could
tell the difference, and in a month
l could hardly believe that 1 had
suffered so much.
IT kept on taking Cardui regular
ly, for a long time, and never have
suffered with my head and back any
more.
THAT was about five years ago. I
am married now-have been for two
years-and am strong ana healthy.
I am glad to Recommend Cardui to
my friends for what it has done for
me-"
Accept no substitutes for the gen.
time Cardui, which is composed OF
ingredients well-kfloWn in the his
tory of medicine for over 600 years,
and contains no harmful or injurious
drugs.

YOUR CHILD
Never Learns
by Force
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

Don't force children. 1t is bad
for them. Not only is it bad
for them to be forced in school but
bad for them to be forced at home.
Someone has compared the
growth and progress of a child to
a flower: "You cannot force bud
by tearing it apart"
That is what it is to force a
child faster than nature intended
his body and mind to develop.
Even if he may appear to be
slow, perhaps under it all his mind
is growing in way of its own.
We are not omniscient, either as
parents or teachers; we cannot
tell the exact condition Of child's
mind at any time. Just because he
is not progressing in the way we
wish him to progress doesn't say
that he is not gaining something
else by leaps and bounds, of which
we are not aware.
If his lessons are too difficult
for him, it must be evident in a
few weeks to those who are inter
ested in him. If he is trying nor
mally to do all he can, and still
keeps failing over and over, and it
tells. on his happiness and health
something is wrong. He is per-
hapS too far head of his grade in
school. 1t may be his music. If he
has no music in him and is nagged
and forced into practicing some
thing he cannot master, nor COM
prehend, what is to be gained?
He may not show any evidence
of physical or mental strain. He
won't if he is of the tough-fiber
make. But on the other hand, it
may make him nervous to Seri-
Gus degree.
1 knew a mother who insisted
on her boy learning to play the
violin. He couldn't. He practiced
dutifully for two or three years, but
made no Roadway. He was ashamed
and unhappy. His mother nagged;
his teacher, who should have known
better, scolded. Any teacher should
be able to tell when a child simply
cannot do things, no matter how
hard he tries.
One day the boys nerves broke
the best way for it all to end.
He had one grand glorious eXplo-
sion Of temper and stamped on the
fiddle until it was fiat. He was
punished numerically, but the fam
lily couldn't afford another violin,
and the idea of lessons was dropped.
But all the relatives rejoiced in his
freedom.
