DID HE REALLY WANT TO DIE?

II is always hard to understand the complex motives Of
a man who decides to end his life. But sometimes the
desire for suicide goes hand in hand. to the last minute
with an equal desire to live: and in tha. case the affair Is
apt to be more than usually pulling.
A Chicago man drank poison, ~purpcsely, the other day.
Then, lying down to die. he wrote a note explaining wha.
he had done-and adding that the antidote for the par
ticulaz kind Of poison he had taken was such and such a
mixture; milk and vinegar. or something Of the kind.
Naturally. when he vas discovered he was given the
antidote and hustled to q hospital. and thereby baked Of
his suicidal aim And the question is, did he really want
TO die or to live?

BRINGING Up T
(By Alice Judson Peale)

Mother read aloud a letter which
Tommy had written from camp:
Dear Nom, Sis is spelling my sum-
mer. She dosnt mind her own bisnis.
She thinks she has to take art of me
but she dosnt. ! can take care Of N.Y.
self. Please tell her to but out. Your
loving son Tom"
Good for him! Written like a man."
said his father. II think it's high
time sis stopped thinking she's re-
sponsible for Tommy's behavior. One
mother is enough, l say"
But, my dear, you know sis has al
ways watched over Tommy and she's
perfectly devoted. I'm sure she pre-
vents him from getting into a lot Of
trouble. You know how thoughtless
and headstrong Tommy is. I'm sure
that whatever she does is for his own
good"
Maybe. but he's got to learn to take
care of himself some time and camp
is a fine place for him to Begin" said
the father. II think we ought to
write him that he needn't pay any
attention to sis. / think we ought to
write sis and tell her that Tommy isn't
her worry; the camp is responsible for
him."
Sisterly devotion often is mixed
with . desire to dominate a younger
child. Because there is so often a
good deal Of affection in this type of
relation and because it is q conven-
fence to . busy mother to let big sis
ter take some of her responsibilities,
a situation is created which is harm
full to both children.
Don't let big sister bring up her
younger brother or sister. Many chill
dren less up and coming than Tommy
never succeed in establishing their in
dependence Of such an elder DOM
mating child. It isn't fair. AS Tom
my's father justly said, Zone mother

sTAMMERING AND SUFFERING

~.STAMNERlNC AND SUFFERING
Stammering has an unfortunate eff.
feet upon the personality and char
acter out of all proportion to the
speech defect, itself. A child so af-
fected will usually be mentally re-
tardcd or at least seem so. He will be
backward and shy, and show anti-so-
cial characteristics and will have a
tendency toward an inferiority COM
pick. The ridicule and giggles Oh mis-
school companions only add to an en-
barrassment that is already keen,
and such a child is to be pitied when
he is called upon to recite and tries his
best to do so. only to be unable to
correctly e~nunciate his sentences.
Stammering children often appear
10 be stupid and backward. when
actually they have brilliant qualifi-
cations. All scolding and teasing at
home should be carefully avoided, and
sympathy and understanding SUBJ
stituted.
1t is generally admitted that imita-
| ton plays an important part in the
habit OF stammeYing. The fact that
the child hears its parents stutter and
initiates. will tend to make him a
stamEerer, too.
It is interesting to note that at least
SIS per cent of all children who stam-
nler are boys. It is also interesting
TO note that many who stammer while
talking can sing without the least inn
pediTent.
Stammering is usually the effect of
a n%eurosis, and all stammerers are
highly impressionable, nervous, cxcit-
able children who will stammer more
during emotional excitement than
they do ordinarily. Their trouble is
worse particularly in social gather
ings where they would most like to
shine, and they retire, covered with
defeat and laughter.
Teachers should give these ~unfortu-
nate children the most careful atten-
ton and consideration. Unfortunate
ly. teachers are sometimes so rushed
with work that they may not have the
time to understand the youngster. The
child may be blamed for not knowing.
when he knows perfectly we'll. but
would rather be marked as dumb
than go through the ordeal of reciting
when others of his classmates laugh
at him.
We always find that stammcrers
are in a state of mental haste and
anxiety. which only impedes them
the more. Sometimes the victim can
only stand still. being totally unable
to say anything at all.
Most Of these youngsters have
trouble with words or sentences be-
ginning with w, B. P, T and D, and
they may have trouble with their own
names, or difficulty only with the be-
ginning Of sentences; or, they may
stand and ~hopelessly repeat syllablcs.
While stammering is usually a
habit spasm Of mental origin and cap

be other causes such as adenoids, abb

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Diet in Low Blood Pressure

Question: Mrs. F. G. r. asks: "Will
you kindly advise proper diet for one
with low blood pressure?"
Answer: One with low blood r

diet. No special foods are required.
but simply good combinations, such
as ! suggest in my weekly menus. In
creasing your physical exercise each

to bring up your blood pressure.
Milk
Question: Mrs. j. D. asks: what
is the matter with milk which after
standing a week does not curdle but
merely acquires a bad odor? Is pas
teurized milk in any way more desir.
able than condensed milk"
Answer: l do not know what could
be the trouble with the milk not cur

take a sample Of the milk to your local
board of health and have it examined.
Condensed and pasteurized milk are

Dislocated Shoulder
Question: A. H. writes: Il am 10
years old and want to take up boxing
in order to help pay my way through
school. About a year and a half ago
l badly dislocated my left shoulder
and am at present working at a trade
that requires quite a bit of heavy lift

left jab throw the shoulder out of the
socket again? The shoulder has been
out Of the socket on three different
occasions before. being set BY a ply
stefan, and l suffer from a numb feel
ing continually.
Answer: Once a shoulder has be.
come dislocated the ligaments remain
stretched for a long time ard it is
very easy for the shoulder to become
dislocated again. The best plan is te
avoid the exercises of the joints which.
tend to dislocate the shoulder for at
least a year. If this is impossible you
may be able to strap your shoulder
in some way with adhesive tape 10
protect it against the more severe
strains.

LONDON, June 13.-Hyde park,
London, known the world Owe as

forth spell binders of every kind,

ing vent TO what they believe is
wrong with men, England and the

The rostrums from which they
speak are a sort OF combination
step-ladder and platform. They are

a pole along side of the speaker
Is suspended a sign telling you who's
who and what's what.
The first one OF these speakers TO
attract my attention Is a man IN

manner and his voice is soft. His
clothes are shabby; he is much run
down at the heel. In speech, how
