Cutting Children's Ears.
d It Is a senseless practice to cut
h children's ears, and arises from a foolish
superstition. Many years ago It
was thought that backward children
, couia be cured by muxtng mi launnni
In i certuln part of their ears. The
s belief exists In some parts of the country
today, the operation being perg
formed usually by a woman at the
change of the moon. Needles* to say.
It results only in pnin and misery for
the child.?London Tit-Bits.
