SHARPNESS
 IS CHILD'S
 RIGHT, TOO
-RARENTS----
 Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

One time in school, I thought lessly said to a boy, James, want you to sharpen the pencils after school" Maybe I said Please" anc maybe I didn't, I forget, but being busy and taking it for granted that James would be delighted to stay and help, as all the children were did not couch my words very softly.
 James went in with the rest and got his wraps, then into line, his head towering over the others, fol he was a tall eleven-year-old, ano went home.
 Puzzled, I said nothing at the time, but at the first opportunity I brought it up.
 "What was wrong about the pen- cils that day?" asked. He colored and replied seriously q just got a cranky streak, because you told me to do it, and didn't ask me-"
 I guess said something like Dear, oh dear," and we both laughed.
 He is newspaper man today and for many years we have been fast friends. He is one of the finest men know, as he was one of the most splendid of boys.
 What lesson 1t taught me.
 There are times to give orders and times to make requests. Orders Fail
 Not long ago, another, fine little fellow who, like Egbert, can be driv- en took so far and not a bit more took on a muliSh look and stood balkily, when his mother said, "GC out, Dickie, and pick up the papers in the yard. The wind will scatter them all Ser the street." This little fellow never moved al all. Usually he was quite tractable and his mother had no trouble, but these unaccountable stubborn spells did happen.
 To tell all the different ways she tried to wheedle him into going af- ter those papers would fill this column. Then she threatened anc then she spanked. She didn't want to spank him, but she couldn't lose the battle, she said. And he cried and went to his room and never did pick up the papers at all.
 What was in his mind he was toe little to tell, because the young chile has no gift of words to explain are inarticulate. But something in his small bosom evidently was whisper ing, "Unfair," or "Too much" ol I'm very tired and I've been boss ed around all day"
 Different Approach
 In spite of that, had his mother suspected some grievance and said T put all those papers in the wrong place and now just see what's hap pened. Dickie, will you please helr me gather them up?"-maybe tht clouds would have melted. Mood at the moment causes mucE stubborness. We oldsters live by moods. We are tired or out oi sorts by spells, and during of mo- ments we aren't going to do ons thing we don't have to. and we arr not nice about it, either. And w demand soft words to soothe us.
 Children are expected to bt amiable ALL the time; obedient ant serviceable All the time. But theI have their little spells and grie' vances and we should sense thes' times.
 The command put in the form O Q question is always less irritating mood or no mood. Children mus get weary hearing. Do this. d that" all day long, without an, option on their part whatsoever. Copyright. 1887, NEA Service, Inc.

 Typhus fever is confused with Typhoid fever by many people, al- though the condition is entirely diff . ferent. The former ailment has at various times been called jail fever, spotted fever, and other names. AL most invariably it is associated with wars, poverty, and famine. It doubtless is one of the diseases mentioned in the Bible as a pesti- lence or plague.
 ' Today typhus fever seldom occurs in the United States, but cases still appear throughout the world, par ticularly in Russia and Poland, in northern Africa and South Amer ica.
 An important fact about this disease is that it is spread by the 1ouse. It is not carried by other insects such as f1eas, bugs, or mos quitoes, nor by materials passing from the body of an infected per- son.
 Usually fortnight, or even as many as 20 days, passes after per- son has been bitten by an infected 3ouse before he suddenly becomes ill with chills and fever; then com- plains of headache, pains in the as.Is v1Ntrcn1nc nF1d di00iVncc EYic fever may rise rapidly, reaching 104 degrees in "A hours, and if he is to recover, will probably drop grad ially at the end of the second or third week.
 Once the infection is established, there may be symptoms affecting the heart, bowels, and nervous sys- tenn. On the fourth or fifth day of the disease spotted eruption usu- ally breaks out on the body. At this stage the patient frequently be- comes so sick as to be delirious. After the delirium passes, he may lapse into unconsciousness.
 There now are available blood tests which make is possible for a doctor to distinguish between this disease. typhoid fever, and various nervous diseases.
 In some epidemics typhus fever is so severe that it kills from 30 to 70 per cent of those infected. Tn the Siberia epidemic of 1915, 450 doctors were infected. Of these, 100 fied and 200 became unfit for fur &ller work.
 Since it now is definitely known that this disease is transmitted by lice. prevention of typhus fever in epy community necessitates a com-

NURSING TUBERCULOSIS

NURSING TUBERCULOSIS
 In the Journal of the Outdoor Life, monthly magazine pub lished by the National Tuberculosis Association, 50 w. 50th St., New York city, there appeared, years ago, an article by MT. J. E. Stocker of Detroit, entitled How I Won the Battle With Tuberculosis in My Own Home" believe the Detroit Tuberculosis association for some years furnished reprints of that document to anybody who asked for copies. I have recommended it to thousands of folk with tubercu- losis and I know MT. Seekers fine story of his experience has been of the greatest help for many who had to fight the same battle. One thing the casual reader should un- derstand clearly-Mr. Stocker nev- CT tried to be his own doctor. He followed faithfully the advice of his physician at every step. Had he not done so, he probably would not have won the battle.

rough, tell-tale places. The cream
is called "Shaperone, and is

it leaves the hands free and pro-
