mothers and sons who have not been
devoted to each other. Mother is a
heroine; father is not a hero - except
to his daughters. But fathers and
daughters are another story, and one
that is too long to be told in this brief
article.
Recently l was talking with an
elderly man who is devoted to his two
daughters. He spoke of them with
tender admiration. Knowing that he
had a son who is making a name for
himself in his chosen profession,
mentioned him.

very well. He is fine chap"
HE must be a great companion to

The parent looked embarrassed.

''but we are not intimate. The fault is
probably mine. may have slipped up
somewhere - although meant to do
my best. Do not think" he added
hastily, that Dick is not all that is

He smiled wistfully. Il used to think

But, as say, the fault may be mine.
Perhaps l did not understand boys.
Yet, of course, Dick and are on excel

Excellent terms! remembered hear
ing this man say, years ago, that on
the night of his sons birth he had
thanked the Lord that a son had been
given him.
And l am not praying man." he
had said, flushing. But know that
as long as we both live l shall have
this wonderful companion. a part of
myself, to stand shoulder to shoulder
with ME, and that when l must lay
down the torch of life, he will take it
up and 60 on where leave off"
Very old-fashioned and sentimental,
do you say? But the father believed it
all.
And then. in modern phrase, he
woke up.
The wakening was, of course, gradual.

happiness, as she was to his happiness
in childhood. She loves him deeply
and, usually, much less critically than
the father does. Chivalry, tenderness,
sometimes compassion for her weak
ness, if she be weak - admiration for
her gallantry if she be strong - are
components of lads and mems senti-
ments for their mothers.
Whether the women deserve it or
not, they are reverenced as their hus-
bands never are If one doubts it, let
him consider Mothers Day 1t has
been made a special occasion by old

D'D LIKE to call this article PITY
Poor Par But the title is, fear.
= too undignified.
Yet it conveys the idea | have in
mind. For. looking at fathers of sons
dspassionately, | find them tremen-
dously pathetic.
OF course they do not know they are
pathetic. In fact, when man has be-
come the father of a son, he feels that
wonderful thing has happened to
him.
He may remain feeling like that for
some years, while the child is young
enough to regard him as a marvel of
strength, of wisdom, of prowess. For
perhaps a dozen blissful years, the
sentence MY father says SOL! is often
on the lips of the small boy. And, if the
father happens to overhear the words,
they are the sweetest kind of music to
his ears.
He would be wise - ii he only knew
it - to make the most of this period.
For it will not last With adolescence,
the average boy ceases to ldolize his
father and becomes his critic. AS the
years pass, criticism changes to CEN
sorship or. worse still, to boredom.
Many people will challenge that
statement. Yet there are men who are
fair enough to cast aside sentimentality
and conventional patter and speak
honestly on this subject.
A sons attitude toward his mother
is entirely different from that toward
his father In infancy he clings to his
mother with all the love of which he is
capable As he grows up, and clings no
longer. he mentally makes her the one
who clings to him He knows she be-
licves that he is necessity to her

MYTHS or MODERN MEDICINE
 A reader sends q clipping in which . doctor. as the reporter puts 1t said that "in many of the 1000 eases of deafness which he studied the cause could be attributed directly to Quinine." The reader asks whether have an alibi, and says, "You can- not both be right"
 Before I 60 into the ring against the doctor. let us see what he real- ly said about quinine deafness.
 He said the percentage of patients who had Q history of having taken quinine was four times greater among 294 cases of nerve deafness than among eS2 cases of other than nerve deafness,
 Perhaps one individual in Q thou sand has what is known as an idiosyncraey and should never take quinine at all. I have never on. countered such person except once, and had to foreeo the opportunity to test the validity of the ladys claim because she was quite firm about 1t and besides she was high strung and had extremely sensitive nerves-and you know how I am about that.
 Millions of malaria, in1luenza, grip, cri, myotonia, heart, enuresis, chorea, whooping cough and ex. ophthalmic goitre patients and their doctors can't be wrong. believe this doctor who discovered that 0 good many deaf patients had taken quinine is wrong. Every doctor knows that overdose of quinine, taken intentionally or by mistake, may cause temporary deafness.
 I reassure all readers who follow my teachings that quinine Is stili an excellent remedy for number of common ailments and in my judg. ment 1t Is far safer than many other little discrimination and against medicines which the public uses with which few doctors have the courage to warn the public.
 The latest edition of my mono- graph, "Quinine in Modern Medi- cine" tells how to use quinine as c home remedy. Ask for 1t next time you write me, including c stamped envelope bearing your address. Let me quote two sentences from tho Quinine monograph:

hearts over 1t. To think that Tom my, who always thought the sun rose and set in his mother, could prefer to be with outsiders now is almost incredible.
 She is likely to take 1t hard, She makes the mistake of begging Tommy for more love and more attention. And Tommy won't know what she Is talking about. He still loves his mother and dad so dearly, and why all the fuss?
 Once the boy reaches this stage, the old days won't come back ex- actly as before. If they did, 1t would mean that Tommy was not develop ing along the lines laid out for boys. He would be immature and dependent. Who wants that? No mother that I know of, really.
 What we lose in baby-love we gain in boy-love. And boy-love is just one of those things we must ponder about. It is sincere It is loyal and fine, and in most ways 1t is deeper than the infant love and devotion he gave us. He needs our love more than ever, too. He simply has more capacity to live and so enlarge his circle to include other people.
 FOSTER HIS
 ENTHUSIASM
 When Tom gets ali worked up about teams and hobbies and can't talk about anything else. this is the time for us to change our tactics. Instead of wanting him to give up these things and pay more atten- ton to US. we should begin to take an interest in his interests, and thus be staunch allies.
 It is the time for dad to get busy, too. for if he can join in his sons enthusiasms. he will cre- ate such proud gratitude in this ciiId's heart 1t is sure to last tor- ever.
 Sometimes a boy goes through tlais stage of detachment with no noticeable symptoms. He is still untwardly the same child. How ever depressed we may feel about ''loslng~ this boy to the bigger world. we must not let him see
