CHILD RESPONSIBILITY
By Alice Judson PeaIe

The thoughtful young mother of today realizes that in trying to cure her child of enuresis when the doc tors examination has already estah- lished the fact that this is a habit, she must be careful to use only posi- tive suggestions.
 She must be conscientious in full filling her part of the routine meas ures and she must, above every thing else, avoid making the child feel discouraged over his lapses. In her anxiety to avoid unpleas- ant associations with the problem, she frequently forgets that the child must be made to do his share. courage him when he fails, she per mits him to feel that it is perhaps quite all right to fail. Indeed, he learns that failure has it's advan- tages, since it makes mother pay him so muchc attention and speak to him so kindly.
 One little girl was not cured of her difficulty until her mother real ized the importance of this factor of the child's own feeling of respon- sibility. The change in the moth CTS attitude was only one of an in- creased firmness, but it made all the difference between success and failure.
 In curing a child of enuresis, 1t Is necessary not only to perform all the routine measures, but also to enlist the childs wholehearted CO., operation. We,mus make him feel no doubt in his mind that he will and must succeed.
 He must understand that, al- though we are willing to help him, he himself is fully responsible for hus success.
 Our attitude must be d nice mix ture of helpfulness and the kind of firmness that lets him feel no doubt | as to where the responsibility lies. We may encourage him with re- wards and praise. but always he must feel that the responsibility is his, not ours.

 T know 1t was," I told him, but there was no use in telling you so then. We both might have been mistaken. Now that we find we are not there is but one thing to do."
 And that is? Noel asked eager ly as I hesitated.
 "Mr. UunderWood has a slogan which fits right here," I returned, smiling. Hold everything!" That's the only request I have to make of you. You've been perfectly splen- did this evening, registering ap- proval of Mary and pride in her. and dancing with the other girls only enought to keep you from the suspicion of being angry at young Cameron.

 Walk with me into the other room.' I made the words Q con- mand, rather than request, and he obeyed with the docility of a well-trained child. When we were beyond the sight of the other danc- CTS I took my hands from his arm.
 Look here. Noel" I said with emphasis. T did not realize how much this thing has taken out of you. Now I shall be able to man. age Mary much better if you aren't in evidence for 9 little while.

 You know better than that" l said sternly. And I want your promise to go to your room and lie down until MT.

Will that do?"

upon the condition of the inner ear canals.
 The main precaution to be recom- mended is that whatever method of blowing the nose is employed, there should be no violence. One should not blow with enough force to cause the ear drums to bulge.
 If the nasal passages are fairly clear, one may with safety compress one side and blow through the other. If both nasal passages are closed, some method other than that of blowing must be employed to clear the nose.
 The use of saline solution (dis- solving a heaping teaspoon of salt ir a glass of warm water) will help clear the stuffed nose. This solu- tion may be used in a spray or may be snuffed in through the nose.

Mothers Hand Guides La Toilette Clan

Madison, Wis, Oct. 10 R@Belle Case La Toilette has pointed the way of political success to her sec ond son as she did for his elder brother and their father.
 The judgment and wisdom of the widow of Robert M. La Toilette, the senior, is credited with import ance in the republican primary campaign which started Philip F. La Toilette on the pathway to the Wisconsin governorship. Mrs. La Follettes husband called her his counselor" and freely ad- mitted the aid her faith and fore sight gave.
 Philip, 3s, defeated Gov. Walter J. Kohler in the primary. Two years ago Kohler attained promi- hence by splitting the La Toilette delegation to the national conven-
 tion, and then defeating the pro- gressiye candidate for the governor ship.
 The elder son, appointed to fill | the unexpired term of his father | when he died, in 1925, was elected
 to the office two years later. He l now is 35. Mrs. La Toilette was
 urged to seek the office her hus-
 band left but she preferred to see | Robert M., Jr., occupy it. Mrs. La Toilette and her husband were sweethearts at the University of Wisconsin in the early sos. Both were graduated from the law | school, she the first woman in the state. She was an adviser in all his political campaigns, for district attorneyship of Dane county, for congress, for governor, for the senate and finally for the presi-
 dency in 1924.
 There is much like both mother and father in the two sons. Robert M. resembles the father. He is a strategist. Philip, resembling the
 mother, is a politician of the old school. an orator with magnetism and personality. He remembers names. he gives his hearers a
 "homey" feeling.
 You're chip off the old block" :" one admrer remarked. No, just splinter" he came | back.
 Philip is frail; he weighs but 13o pounds, but during the rigor- ous primary campaign he travelled thousands of miles and made six
 or seven speeches a day He has his fathers habit of rip- ping off his coat. and collar during a speech. "Reactionaries" and "spe- cial interests" punctuate his lan- guage as they did that of Fight ing Bob."
 His hair Is the same unmanage- able plume. The father ran hts fingers through it; so does the son. Philip was Dane county attorney as was his father. If, however, he is elected governor in November
 he will reach an office at 33 that his father did not attain until he
 was 45. The elder La Toilette was in the house of representatives from 1885 to 1891, before serving IS governor from 1900 to 1906. The La Toilette clan is a friendly one. When Robert M, senior, ran for the presidency as an indepen- dent in 1924 both the boys stumped l for him. During the junior Bob's campaign, Philip was on the fight
 ing line, Bob returned the aid in Philips campaign.
 And behind all of them moves the quiet, unseen hand of woman.

Noel, Fearing That His Fathers
 Scheme May Succeed in Breaking
 Up His Romance, Begins to Show i. tho Strain.
 Noel was silent for a long minute after I told him that he must rec ognize and accept Mary's love of dancing and of the limelight. And his movements through the dance for which he had asked me were mechanical as those of a robot. l vas as silent as he. for l did not wish to limit the force Of what l had said by exploitation, but l felt as if I must cry out in sheer sus- pense of his decision.
 Finally. with an explosive sigh, he seemed to come to life again, and he broke into rapid speech, guiding me into a corner farthest away from tho other dancers and standing still while he spoke.
 Noel Sees Love in New Light
 T knew all that long ago. he said, "and I thought l was pre- pared-not to like it-I can never do that--but to endure it because of my love for Mary"
 Noel! Noel!" I shook my head at him. Did you never hear what a delightful old English essayist once said. I'm not sure that I have every comma, but the quotation run something like this: Heaven I, Al hi1c n does not love you because of your foibles instead of in spite of them.' |"
 He looked at me puzzled for an instant, his "one-track mind" evil dently finding difficulty in switch ing to what I was saying. Then his eyes flashed in comprehension, and a tender-amused smile softened the rigid lines of his mouth.
 II see what he meant" he said, "and-I think-I follow his precepts for the most part. Butt can't deny that this performance tonight has upset me. Can't you see, Mrs. Graham, what it means-what my father is"
 Trying to do?" I snatched the words from him. for I wished to end the colloquy before some stray pair Of dancers could circle near us. "Of course, Noel, we all see that. He has brought Colin Cameron here to- night in the hope, first, that his per- sonality would attract Mary and win her from you. Failing that-and l think your father Lr"u, there was no chance of that happening-he has planned to have young Gamer on play upon Mary's love of danc- ing and of the limelight-call it her vanity If you wish-until she will be receptive to some theaterical offer which young Cameron-backed, of course, by your father-will make her"
 "Oh, you see that, too." he
