WHY do children even BROTH
and sisters, quarrel so anon
themselves? For the same reason that
grown people do. The children have
not acquired the art of covering their
wish to dispute with their neighbors,
and the grown-ups, for the most part,
have acquired it.
Children quarrel because they think
differently about things. One wants
to make bridge and the other says,
no. a house. One likes a playmate
and the other dislikes him and each
defends his side. That is all there is to
it. Differences make occasions for
quarrels. When children think about
alike they seldom quarrel. They may
disagree, but usually without violence.
1t is when the difference is wide and
deep that the span cannot be bridged
and they fight.
The span of difference between
ages is one reason for quarrels among
children. A 3-year-old child and a
5-year-old differ widely in social ex-
periences. The 5-year-old child usually
has a maturer outlook, broader fields
Of interest, deals with more complex
ideas than the 3-year-old. In conse-
quence, the two cannot bridge the
span of their differences. They ir-
ritate each other. The stronger one
tries to force the weaker one to his
way and the quarrel is on once more.
Girls and boys of the early teens.
the 12-year-old and the l3s, are
often at loggers ends. They have
little in common They irritate each
other because of the difference IN
interests. The boys are all for noise,
action, rough play, the rough-and-
ready swagger of the playground.
while the girls are missish and nice
and superior. War is inevitable be-
tween them
The best we can do to keep the
peace is to frown upon the rows and
the minute the trouble starts separate
them. Keep them apart long enough
to allow the isolation to impress itself
to their inconvenience. Half an hour
is no use. A half day, week. is
better.
When you find that brother
and sister cannot meet without a
fight, try to arrange things SO that
each has friends closer to his own
social age. Let the boy have his
group and the girl hers, and avoid
the mistake of making brother and
sister play together because "he is
your brother" or "she is your sister"
Let the boy go his way and the girl
hers for the time. They will return
to each other when this stage has
been passed. 1t is not fair to force
a brother to escort his sister when
there is antagonism between them
Let it pass and provide other associa-
tions for both.

was a tenant in chief of Hertfordshire.
The name signified "son of Doda."
Dodsons who came to Pennsylva-
mia, New Jersey and Maryland were
from Yorkshire, England.
Perhaps the earliest settlement OF
Dodsons, which was given the name
of "Dodson's Plantation" in America
was in 1881 in Virginia. During the
latter part of the Revolution and at its
close Dodsons began their penetration
further inland, and many of the Vir-
ginia family settled in the Carolinas,
Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, Indiana
and Missouri. Among those settling
in Kentucky were Jesse, Jethro, Leon
ard, William and Rollo Dodson.
Maryland Colonial records mention
the name of John Dodson, who, in
1856. settled in Charles County, and
later in Calvert County. In 1877 Dod-
sons appeared in the New Quaker set
tlement in New Jersey.
In New England the Dodson family
was represented by Anthony, who set
tied in 1850 in Scituate, Mass.

tured a few steps. He took them
slowly, carefully Nothing happened.
Black Pussy appeared to have for
gotten all about him. He took some
more and still nothing happened
Il do believe she really is going to
let him go this time" whispered
Nanny excitedly.
1t did seem so. That young Mouse
was almost near enough to the next
schock of corn TO reach it with a
quick short run. He darted straight
for it. He was almost to it.
Hes going to make it!" squeaked
Nanny.
And then Black Pussy whirled
about and sprang. A paw came
down on the tail of that Mouse just
as his nose touched the dry leaves at
the base of the shock.
Then Black Pussy seized him and
gave him little toss to one side, in
stantly springing after him. He lay
quiet, too frightened to move Black
Pussy poked him to make him move.
First with one paw and then with
another she poked him. She stretched
out on her side and played with him
between her paws. You would have
thought she meant him no harm
But he knew and those watching
knew that in the end she would kill
him. She was tormenting him. She
would have said that she was having
fun with him.
Isn't there anything We can do?"
whispered Nanny.
Not thing" replied Mrs. Short
TAIL This sort of thing happens
over here every day. 1t is bad enough
to be caught and killed at once, but to
be tormented that way is just awful.
And nobody around here does it but

1t Started
Magazine.
BY JEAN NEWTON.

"THE English nation" wrote Ten
nyson. lis Saxon and Norman
and Dane" but the English language,
which has gorged upon the lingual
delicacies of every quarter of the
globe, is not only these, but Egyptian,
Hebrew, Persian, Indian, Greek and
among many others, Arabian.
This brings us to our word "maga-
zine" which we have from the Arabic
markham" meaning "a storehouse."
This was the meaning it enjoyed for
a long period after its adoption by
various languages from its source,
particularly in military usage, where
a magazine was known as a depot for
army material.
AS time passed the word ''maga-
zine" became enriched in meaning,
and from its original sense of "a
storehouse" as for grain, military
needs and the like, it acquired its
modern meaning in addition, of a
storehouse of information, knowledge,
papers and literary compositions Of
various sorts.

Long sidecombs may be inserted be-
hind the ears to hold the short hair
in place, This is distinctive coiffure,
and is becoming to one with rather
sharp features, pointed chin and high
cheekbones.
The girl with a long, thin neck
should avoid short hair. Her hair
should be drawn down over her ears
and coiled at the nape of the neck
or worn in a long bob, with curled
ends. On the other hand, the girl
with short, thick neck may wear a
bob, if it is nodded rather close to
the sides of her head. If her hair is
long, it would be attractive arranged
in French twist or turned up in a
fiat bun at the back
If ones face is thin, it can be made
to appear fuller by choosing a coiffure
which shows the ears Other points
to keep in mind when selecting a be-
coming coiffure are that the face
which is inclined to be wide appears
wider and fatter when the hair is
brought too low over the forehead.
When the forehead is low, the hair
should be brushed well back from it.
The woman with a large nose should
arrange waves and curlS around her
brow and temples.

didn't hurt him. She took care not
to do that. But she frightened him
terribly.

short. blunt-pointed buds. They are
usually hairy and covered with many
reddish-brown scales. There is also
a cluster of four to eight buds. to be
found at the tip of each stout twig
When these develop, they are fan
shaped.
The acorns Of this tree are smaller
than those found on most of the oaks
They are not over half an inch long,
and one-third of this length is seated
in a shallow cup that is made up OF
light woolly scales. The acorns are
sweet and edible.
In the early days of our country
when the woods were filled with hand
some wild turkeys, they fattened on
these nuts So in time this tree be-
came known, in parts, as the turkey
oak.
You will hear the post oak spoken
of as a Southern tree. The largest
ones are to be found in this part OF
the United States. In Texas it is the
better-known oak in the forest, and
in the lower Mississippi Valley it
reaches fine proportions. AS far north
as Massachusetts, and through Penn
sylvania, Kansas mad Iowa. the post
oaks are very happy in the sandy soil
and limestone hillsideS.
There is a close relative of this tree
in some of the Southern States. 1t is
known as the swamp post oak and
over oak. There is little difference
between them. except that the acorns
are stalked and their cups almost
cover the nuts.
Where this tree reaches large size
it is always an important timber tree
and its wod is sold as white oak Be-
cause the wood is so durable, when
placed in contact with soil, it has
been referred to as Iron oak" 1t is
used for railroad ties. fence posts
boat timbers, casks and fuel. The
knees" of the post oak always bring
good price.

force, and we must not lose sight OF
the fact that every organ and every
function of the entire body depends
on its nerve force for performance.
Atomic states of the body are ex-
pressing very directly and very plainly
a deficiency of some sort in the food,
and without the restoration of this
deficiency we do not think OF getting
we'll and strong again, for this is i'm
possible.
1t is safe to say that no case of
nerve breakdown ever occurred in the
face of full and complete nourish-
ment, and as safe to say that back OF
every such case is a long history OF
deficient feeding. This does not
mean that not enough food has been
taken for need, but that no matter
how much food has been used this
did not contain enough of certain ele-
ments or salts of some specific kind
for the body's every need.
With atomic dyspepsia the appetite
is very tickle, though the persistent
weakness and digestive discomfort are
taken to mean that not enough food
is used, and the victim is urged to
eat more. usually still more of the
very foods that had failed so far to
supply the deficiency.
Frequent eating, forced eating. con-
centrated foods. tickling the palate
with Sapid foods, usually makes up
the day of the atomic case, and with
every effort to eat more foods of more
concentrated character, the gas in
creases, the digestive discomfort grows
worse, the flesh declines and weak
ness is more and more apparent, till
it is not at all infrequent that the
sufferer takes to his or her bed for a
long time, suffering from what is gen.
orally called nervous prostration.
1t is always a simple matter for
such case to stop eating entirely, in
spite of the urging, for the appetite
has for long time been unreliable,
and is not very positive at any time,
but more mental than physical.
If all food is barred for a time. till
there is keen hunger and great relish
for food. the atomic state will largely
vanish, and such case is often far
stronger after two weeks of absolute
fasting than formerly when conSum-
ing far more food than could be
properly digested even in a state of
health.
When hunger returns, it is then i'm
portant to eat the foods most desired,
making sure they are not refined or
processed in any way. and combining
them with due regard to their chem
ical necessities. If treated so, it is a
simple matter to recover in a few
weeks to such state of health as will
make the suffering seem like a bad
dream.
Nervous prostration and atomic dys-
pepsia are both the same thing Both
are a creation of civilized habits OF
living, habits far too civilized to have
embraced the really good natural
foods that mother nature is contin-
ually preparing for her children in
every land, and without which it is
not possible to be as we'll as she in
tended us to be.

Post Oak.
Quercus Stellata.

Quercus Stellata.
Y you will have little difficulty In
" recognizing this tree from a
distance. It is so scantily clad
i in Winter, and looks rather
tattered and torn. Its leaves
have sticking quality, that defies
the most blustery winds, and when
you inspect one Of them, you can see
what a really determined leaf 1t is,
through and through.
Post OAKS are not evergreens, Just
because their leaves are loath to
desert their mother. 1t Is just one
of the little quirks this tree indulges
in.
If you try to crumple one of the
brown, dry leaves in the Winter, you
get distinct shock. as they are so
coarse. hairy and tough. In the Sum-
mer. when they are new, they form
black, mass-like cover over the tree,
that is very pretty.
AS for the figure, this oak Is not
what you would call striking. The
trunk is straight or continuous, the
branches are heavy and crooked, and
project almost at right angles with
the trunk. Add this to the lonely
leaves, and see what you have.
The flowers appear in May, when
the new leaves are half-grown. The
male flowers are in catkins, and are
yellow and hairy. The female flowers
are almost sessile, and have bright
red stigmas.
When the leaf Is fully grown, the
upper surface is dark, glossy green.
The under surface is coated with
rusty-brown hairs. Under a magni-
flying glass, they are star-shaped,
hence the second part of the trees
name, stellata.
Each leaf is from to inches long,
and with the arrangement of the
lobes, gives you the suggestion of
Maltese cross.
Should it happen that you see the
tree for the first time. and it has for
once got rid of its leaves, look for the
