Stubborn Child.

What makes child stubborn? Fear,
for one thing. II q child has been
forced against his will, II he has been
beaten, slapped, pushed and showed
without regard to his feelings, he is
likely to put his back to the wall and
take his defiant stand. He cannot fight
back, but he can hold himself to him.
self, and that he will strive to do.
Example is another reason. If the
family Is sullen or stubborn he fol-
lows in their footsteps. He will take
refuge in sulks, in silence and stubborn
ness. To cure that, one sets an example
of cheerful cooperation, and says
nothing to the child.
In dealing with stubborn child the
less said the better. The circumstances
have set the stage for stubborn Mt.

mood is the change of circumstance.
If YOU ordered him in loud tones to go
and he didn't go, all you can do is to
say in your stillest voice, Very we'll

you had forgotten him.
In your going along, however, change
the atmosphere. It has been strained
to the breaking point. You viii find
your body is tense and your thought
hard and grudging. Let 60. Fill your
mind with q thought OF love, Of cour-
age, of kindness. Repeat some fine

radio or the photograph. and let the
music lift the tension.
When you have relaxed you will find
that the child has done so, usually. Say
nothing about the stubbornness. 1t Is
best never to tell child that he Is
stubborn. Just say pleasantly, VERY
well, you needn't
This will not succeed, however If the
child is held under bondage of fear.
Search his environment for any cause
of fear and remove it. Fear kills all
power. It promotes none. 1t is a mis-
take to make use of 1t save in very rare
circumstances, such as danger to life
and limb.
Investigate the general health Of the
stubborn child. Sometimes he is deaf,
has trouble with his breathing. his d.
gestion is out Of order, his glands do
not function properly. Do all that is
possible to help the child to health and
the stubbornness win vanish.
Stubbornness is danger signal.
Something has gone wrong. You will
have to search for that something
first in the family circle. then In the
child himself. Remove the cause.
Avoid the occasion Of stubbornness.

disuse will weaken itself and die. That

Food for Reflection

Agriculture is the first industry Of all
lands. Food is the first and last thing
living things think about. This years
drought, perhaps one of the greatest on
record, seems to have called our atten-
ton to the significance of food.
Economists remind US that food was
the first form of property; that pota-
toes, tobacco, corn and barley were all
at one time or another common curren-
cy. Food was money before the days
of minis, banks and auditors.
Sociologists remind us that most If
not all social institutions ana their
usages grew out of plant cultivation and
animal husbandry. They show that
civilization passed through the hunting
stage into the agricultural stage; that
society was not a settled thing until
man established a permanent habitat
and began to cultivate grain and to do
mesticate the goat and the OK.
The quest for food led to the dis
covery 'of the world. There never was
a migration that did not originate in
some desire to gain better and easier
livelihood.
We are able to see something of the
fundamental influence of food on the
human mind when We consider our
language. Nothing but our mental atti-
tude toward food will explain such ex-
pressions as these: Hunger for truth"
the flavor of conviction" food for re-
fiection,' mental craving" bitter ex-
perience," sweet memories" "sets my
teeth on edge" makes me sick" don't
olte on more than you can chew"

Dear Miss Leeds-I am SIS years old

MALT white. Will the sage-tea rinse Tor
gray hair restore my hair color? Please

Answer-It isn't ridiculous to want to
look as youthful as one can, but ] DO
not think that having all black hair
would help you in this respect. When
all your hair was black your skin also
was firmer and roster. Skin tints
change as the hair naturally fades so
that there is a harmony between COM
nIexion and hair at each period OF life.
Your grazing hair Is really more becom-
ing than Jet black would be. The sage

store the black color. If you really

anything, excepting to sit and stare.

chasing Frisky. Yes. sir, he's chasing
Frisky! ! wonder If he knows Frisky."
Impy started after the other two.
Presently he came in sight of them.
Little Miss Frisky was sitting on big
stone. The big stranger was sitting on
another stone facing her. He not only
was big, but he was handsome. Even
Impy had to admit that he was hand
some. Apparently little Miss Frisky
thought SO, too. When the stranger
moved toward her she darted down be-
tween some stones. Impy could see her
peeping out at the big stranger. It was
quite clear that she admired him.
Right then and there jealousy filled
the heart Of Impy the black Chipmunk.
He was jealous of that big stranger. He
didn't want little Miss Frisky to admire
him. He didn't want that big stranger
around at all. He wanted little Miss
Frisky all to himself. Almost before he
realized what he was doing he had
barked a sharp challenge to the big,
handsome stranger. Instantly the
stranger turned and barked back at
him. Rage as black as his own coat
filled 1mpy.
