!BIufing is a great art that is prac-
ticed on a large scale. The buffer
is one who puts on bold exterior and
tries to pass for more than he is worth.
We find the buffer in every walk of
life. The physician often hides his ig-
norance behind big words. The student
bluffs his way along and somehow
squeezes through his courses. The me-
chanic frequently tinkers around, look
ing for trouble in an automobile, when
he hasn't the slightest idea what it is
all about.
Bfufing is especially peculiar to our
day and age. because the aim is to get
by Anything that will get by is good
enough. Rare Is the student who seeks
to master subject If he can get by
on a mere smattering of the science.
also the manufacturer who goes out of
his way to produce a superior line of
goods If poorer grade can get by.
The workingman Is often inclined TO
do no more than is absolutely essential
to hold down his job.

lazy and do no more than is necessary

triton expert, and don't believe quite
all these experts say Cod liver oil is
fine source of vitamin A and vitamin
d, but not quite equivalent to sunlight,
in my inexpert Judgment.
The main difficulty about persuading
mothers to give babies regular daily
sun baths Is that mothers fear ex-
posure. Comfort is the only guide
about that. If the baby enjoys his bath
1t is obvious he is comfortable. Why
worry? Perhaps be will be as comfort

Still, it is simple to place the baby
out in the sun but behind some screen
against the wind. Always see that his
eyes are shaded from direct sun. The
first day expose only his face and hands
for not more than 10 minutes fore
noon and again afternoon, but prefer
ably between 10 and IL, for the sun
light is richest in ultraviolet rays at
midday. Next day, after the first 10
minutes, roll up both sleeves to the ell
bows and expose the forearms for the
second 10 minutes along with the face.
The third day repeat this and expose
the legs to the knees the third 10 min
utes along with the face and forearms
Thus gradually increase the exposure
day by day until the whole body is ex-
posed half an hour or eventually one
hour at a time. II there is any ten
dency to sunburn, you must lessen the
duration of exposure accordingly. Prop
erly carried out, this should give COM

Binders.

We are not careful enough to save
the children from binding themselves
with whimS that become stronger than
chains. When a little child says IT
don't like fat people," we smile. The
child notes the smile and remarks again,
Il don't like fat people" SO Is born
the deep-rooted dislike of fat people
that this person Is to bear throughout
his life and which is going to handicap
him accordingly. There are many fat
people about and they arc quite un-
conscious of any reason why anybody
should dislike them The only person
who is hurt by the binder on his mind
is the child who bears it. Nobody is
helped and he is hurt.
Watch the little child timidly touch
cat or dog. He draws back his
hand and looks up into the face of the
adult standing by According to what
he reads in that face he retreats from
the animal or 1t again touches it. Either
he is going to like yhe touch, like the
creature, or he is going to withdraw
his hand, wrinkle up his face and cry
in fear. If he binds the fear of ami
mails upon his mind he is going to suf-
fer by it for years to come.

and says, Il don't like milk pudding"
In day or two ne hears his mother
say, billie does not like milk pudding

WHY WE Do WHAT WE Do


following the line of least resistance
There are those who boast of their
ability to get by on bluff 1t is regarded
in many circles as mark of ir1telli-
gence to bluff your way into a pro-
fesion or social clique. The buffer
usually regards himself as extremely
clever,
The sheer nerve and audacity of the
buffer make an appeal 1t does re-
quire a certain type of ready skill,
presence of mind, and a degree of
courage am reminded of the banker
who had embezzled the funds of the in
stitution and had the nerve to face his
creditors and try to bluff them out
of prosecuting him He made an elo-
quent speech and ended in flourish
by saying that they would have to take
1t out of his hide. One man In the
group spoke up and said, Gentlemen,
/ would like to speak for my portion
of this mans anatomy. I want his
gall"
We bluff because it is deemed clever,
1t is the fashion of the times to get
by and because we are inherently lazy
and follow the line of least resistance.
