Growing Up.

We make it hard for children to grow
up. 1t Is very pleasant to care for
baby. Even the fatigue OF constant at
tendance cannot rob us Of the Joy OF
ministering to something so precious, so
sweetly dependent upon us.
We do like to have children dependent
upon us 1t is with a pang that we
realize they can do without us. Mothers
like to feed their children. Long after
the child ought TO be feeding himself
mother hangs over him, watching each
mouthful her hands twitching to take
the wobbly spoon in her hands.
Day by day the children grow farther
and farther from us. Soon they can
dress themselves, go to school alone, ex-
press opinions of their own, choose their
way In the world. That is as 1t ought
children grow as smoothly as that. We
want to hold on to them because-Well
because we like the feeling of usefulness
that gives us. They are an excuse for
our living-if we are not very careful,
they become our only excuse.
But nature is stronger than any bond
we can forge and the children escape.
II not one way, another. II we could
gather wisdom suficient to the evil day
we would be happier when they
definitely break with the home, for
break they must If they are to grow up.
And who wants a child who does not
grow up?
We cannot expect child to grow
up overnight. 1t isn't done. Sell
guidance is a matter Of slow growth
gained by first hand experience and first
hand experiences are precisely what we
refuse children. We want them to take
ours and when they don't we are
grieved. When they do, they don't
grow up.
Try to understand that children are
lent to you for the period OF their
physical dependency. That your hold
on them will be strengthened by loosen
ing II as early as possible and making
no effort to possess in any way, the
spirit of the child.

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Hitting back when hit seems TO be
one of those natural responses which
need not be taught, which develop Of
themselves when the opportune mo-
ment arrives. Usually one need not
say to a child, Take your own part,
sonny, and hit him If he hits you"
because the child does this spon-
taneously If he is struck.
The child who cannot take his own
part may be cowed at home and dares
not raise his hand in self-defenSe. We
advocate, unalterably. no slapping on
the part of the parent, but rather al
lowing the child to learn by expe-
rience how to take his own part when
playing with other children. The adult
Is an unfair opponent but few chill
dren, even If uncoached by the parent,
will stand being hit by another child.
The child who flies to his mother, cry
ing for protection, invites the slaps
and bullying of the whole neighbor-
hood. Give your child a feeling of
courage and self-reliance by not TAX
and he'll take care Of himself outside
the home.
Mrs. F. NJ says her babies are Eldred-
reared ones. She asks: Am I intol-
Grant TO say that no child should be
the victim Of chronic constipation? My
5-year-old and 20-months-old have
never had a physic, though the baby
was constipated when first put on a
bottle, q matter which was regulated
by changes in the formula. In one
breath people say, What do you feed
such healthy children?', and in the
next, oh, it is just natural for them
to be fat, for I give mine everything
and see how thin he Is You'd be as
proud of my babies as I am, Mrs.
Eldred, for your column and leaflets
helped me rear them.
"The big problem now is to slap or
not to slapl have been recently con-
f1rmed in the idea that If child is
taught to slap back he forgets the
back and just slaps. I have never
been quarrelsome and do not regret
1t, while my friends who won't take
anything seem to have to live up to
their regulations and have something
to resent all the time"
Just one word more about the quar-
reling. Don't you think you confuse
the question by comparing adults and
children? Children are In primitive
stage Of development and quarrel to
learn how to keep peace. BY the time
a person is grown, he should have
learned how to keep peace without
quarreling. II he hasn't, he is still
child.

Running Ear and Mastoiditis.

A woman 80 years old had had a
running ear since an attack of scarlet
fever in childhood. In the last few
years she had had earaches at times
when the sdischarge was suppressed.
The discharge had foul odor and was
very profuse. She kept the ear plugged
with cotton to protect her clothing and
bed clothing from being soiled by the
discharge.
It is always bad to wear a plug of
cotton in q running ear. The mis-
couraged by such coddling; whereas
free ventilation of the ear always dis
courages the harmful germs.
cannot impress this fact too firmly
upon readers who have running ear;
or upon readers who have children with
such trouble. How often We see mis-
guided victim of some chronic ear
trouble wearing a plug of cotton, even
when there Is no external discharge,
protects the ear against taking cold!'
Besides the offensive ear discharge.
which restricted the woman's social
life, and the earscfes, she had been
troubled with buZZing noise in the af-
fected ear for Is years.
Examination of the ear showed
large polyp occluding the canal. The
doctor removed this with snare. Then
he was able to see that the drum
membrane and part of the bones of
the middle ear were missing-had been
destroyed by the years of suppuration.
After this the ear remained dry for
several weeks. then discharged pro-
fusely again for q time, and the pa
tient complained Of q new symptom,
dizziness. Now the doctor advised oper-
alton. but the patient preferred to con-
tinue palliative treatment a while, as
she felt sure she had improved after
removal of the polyp and the medici-
nal applications the doctor made. So
eventually she was cured-that is, the
ear discharge ceased and she had no
further trouble.

Wants to Grow Tall.

Dear Miss Leeds am Is years old
Twill be is SOON and am very small for
my age. I am not yet S feet. I weigh
81 pounds.
At the rate am growing doubt
very much IL I will grow any more. I
get plenty of sleep and rest My par
ents are both short; my mother Is S
feet 2 inches.
Can you please suggest something
that might make me grow? I am con-
sidered nice looking and would give
anything If I could just grow two or
three inches more.-GIGGLES.
Answer-Did you know that there
are many girls Of your age who are no
taller and weigh no more than you do?
And many girls keep on growing until
they are 20 years old so do not give up
hope yet-those extra 2 or inches
may come.
OF course. it Is quite true that one
does inherit physical tendencies and
perhaps nature never intended you to
grow very tall. But 1 rather think she
is planning to give you little more
height. Here's a QUESTIONABLE which
I want you to study. If you can an
swer the questions as they should be
you are doing your paS5 toward grow
ing taller.
l. Do you eat plenty of simple, nour-
AsAilAlB AOOu VI law
fruit and vegetables. and do you drink
a quart Of milk every day?
2. Do you get at least Q hours sleep
every night in a well ventilated room?
3. Do you take regular exercise out
of doors every day? Do you take part
in strenuous athletic contests? Regu-
lar systematic exercise Is necessary, but
sometimes young girls wear themselves
out by taking part in athletics which
are too strenuous.
4. Is your posture always correct,
whether sitting or standing? Carry
ing the body erect with chin up and
chest out gives height to any one.
Stand tall
If you feel sure you are not neglect
ing any of these things and as the
years pass you remain just as short,
the thing to do is to choose clothes
which will make you appear taller.
And remember, too, that few Of us are
satisfied with ourselves. My letters
from readers show very plainly that
the tall girls think it must be glorious
to be tiny. the short girls want to be
tall. the fat ones pine to be thin, and
the thin ones think how much nicer
it would be to add a few pounds until
they could be "pleasingly plump"

A Sermon for Today
Apart From God.
BY REV. JOHN R. GUM.

Surely every man walketh in vain
ow."-Psalms xXXix.6.
The psalmist is speaking here OF
mans life when seen apart from God
I'm a vain show" is more correctly
given in the margin, "in a shadow"
Every man walketh in a shadow"
Shadows in career" as George Herbert
has it.
The word "walketh" is not merely a
synonym for passing through life. Its
Hebrew form represents the action as
being repeated over and over. 1t might
be used to describe the restless motion
of wild beast in cage, raging from
side to side, never still. and never
getting any farther for all the racing
back and forth. So here it implies
hurry and hustle, continuous effort.
habitual unrest.
What a picture this is of the kind
Of lives many people are living. From
they fret and toll, breaking their hearts
and wearing themselves out In "labori-
GUS days" And what comes of all
their hustle and business? They are
but weaving for themselves garments
like the spiders web" They are but
'laboring for the wind" In the end,
for all their agitation, they amount to
no more than shadows in career"
Apart from God mans life passes as
fieeting shadow. His life Is but "a
vain show"-vain because soon over
and when over he discovers that its
delights were but q passing delusion.
No matter how a man may get on
in the world-though he may achieve
wealth and power and the highest
honors the world can give-he will GER
tainly find that without God for his
friend. and heaven for his hope, life.
with all its fullness and glory, is empty
and vain.
