LEAVE CHILD TO
MOTHER NATURE
Certain Amount of “Shaping*
Will Do the Rest
He inis a rougn-atid-ready young
man and a father. He wasn’t one
to whom you could mention child
training. He knew all about it The
^cranks” who were turning the world
upside down trying to make ninnies
of children simply disgusted him.
When the baby was born he rum
pled him to make him tough.
One wouldn’t have dared to tell
blm that burled deep in the baby’s
nature was its own alloy hardening
that nature would bring out in time,
making a far better mixture than a
top layer that wasn’t the real thing
at all and would probably slough off
In the wear and tear of life.
Gradually the child ceased to be
an object for experiment with his
father. He became a person. He
could think and act and originate
thought, and smart thought, too.
Without realizing what had hap*
pened, this man fell in lore with
his child. He became gentler with
each month. He began to co-operate
and encourage his son In his little
hobbies and play. He ceased making
fun of him and repeated the words
«f baby wisdom.
- And then- the miracle happenedr
It was the first time I had ever heard
a man say It, much less an opinion
ated man.
He said, “You know, I believe that
the more you let children alone and
allow them to work out their own
little plans the better off they are.
I don’t have any patience with all
this new-fangled stuff about guid
ing and molding and so on. Just
let them do things they want in their
awn way, unless It’s something that
they Just have to be told.’’
Then for the first time I said,
^That Is all we want ft is all we
are working for. You have just stat
ad the sum total of all the new train
ing, as you call it We Just want to
give nature a chance. Nature is
smarter than we are. We ask that
and the examples of a good home,
love and- sensible parents. Not an
other thing.
“Don’t lean backward and think
Hilly doesn’t need a bit of shaping.
Too bad, but he has to live in a
world of people, not the woods, and
hs has to make some adjustments.
But you’re right, even here. En
courage his best qualities and keep
him busy. There won’t be much time
or room then for the other."
T HIS is the “mechanical brain” be

Schuck to facilitate the solving of all
problems in higher mathematics In Jig

ferential analyser” and is able to com

nicians four months to do.
Huckleberry Pie
By ANW1-CAMPBKLL
IT’S just a huckleberry pie
4 Set on the window ledge to cooL
Outside the summer sun is high.
The sky a blue inverted pool.
>4nd once again a barefoot child
Sets out to find, tin pall in hand.
The berries hiding in the wild
Far off upon that pleasant land.
It was in huckleberry time
The farm was loveliest to see • • •
1 saw the morning-glories cUmb
Upon my window happily;
And glancing backward, as I walked
With cheerful footsteps down the lane.
It seemed to me the brown wrens
mocked
That little girl so tanned and plain.
But nothing changed that sense of
peace
That was my heart’s blest quality.
The woodland path' was a release
From Irksome household tasks to me.
But now upon small things intent,
I view with an approving eye -
The sweetness of home’s sacrament.
Caught in a huckleberry pie.

There were five of the Waxwings,

a branch of the cherry tree. One of
them had a plump cherry which he
passed to the next one. This one
passed it on to the next, 90 It
went to the end of the row and half
way back before it was finally eaten.
Peter laughed right out “Never In my

he.
“Huh!” exclaimed Jenny Wren. “I
don’t believe It was politeness at all.
I guess if you got at the truth of the
matter you would find each one was
stuffed so full that he thought he didn’t
have room for that cherry, and so
passed it along.”
“Well, I think that was politeness
just the same,'’ retorted Peter. “The

DOING NOTHING USEFUL!
«T HAD two hundred letters wilting,
f a few days ago, and I deliberately
went out for the afternoon and spent
two hours reading poetry. This was
entirely outside my schedule, and you
will probably raise your hands In hor

well-budgeted day, but I believe In the.
end ft makes for better quality of

Mr*. Franklin D. Roosevelt wrote
that not long ago In a meeeage on the
necessity of every person occasionally
to learn to loaf.
“Sometimes it Is extremely good for
you to forget that there Is snything
In the world that needs to be done,
and to do some particular thing that
you want to do," she remarked.
“Every human being needs a certain
amount of time in which he can be

of exercise, or reading, or any con
genial occupation, but one thing which
must not be connected with It is n
sense of obligation to do some particu

reprinted and sent to .every^ woman,

they can’t stop their engines, so they

The 1884 meeting of the Indiana
State Medical association offered ta
Indiana doctors a wealth of techni
cal information on the latest devel
opments In the treatment of human
ailments, bnt Its most significant
phase from the standpoint of laymen
was the emphasis placed on the Im
portance of diagnosis and treatment
of disease In Its early stages. When
an ailing patient goes to a doctor
for treatment, the responsibility for
using all that science knows in com
bating the aliment lies with the doc
tor. The primary responsibility of
seeking competent medical advice at
the first suggestion of trouble, how
ever, rests with the patient
The emphaslq In medicine In re- v
cent years has graduated from at*
tempted cure of dlseasd after it has
developed, to disease prevention.
While treatment of disease In Ita
early stages is not true prevention.
It virtually la next to prevention.
The medical profession has shown
that many of the dread Illnesses of
the body often are curable If the
treatment begins In the early stages
when symptoms first appear. If a
person values his health, he first
will observe simple precautions In.
living that will prevent disease and '
at the same time will act quickly If
symptoms of an ailment appear.
Speakers on the subject of cancer,
at the doctors’ meeting, were au
thority for the statement that most
of the toll of life claimed by the
ease would be prevented If victims
recognized potentialities of danger
in small akin growths, irritating

the body. In Its struggle against the
ravages of cancer, science has

disease still Is In Its Infancy, but la

The public is fast returning to tha ass
of liquid laxatives. People have
learned that the right dose of a
properly prepared liquid laxative will
bring a more natural movement with
out any discomfort at the time, er
after. t
The dose of a liquid laxative can ba
varied to suit the needs of the in
dividual. The action can thus ba
regulated. A child is easily given tha *
right dose. And mild liquid laxatives
do not irritate the kidneys.
Doctors are generally agreed that
senna is a natural laxative. It docs
not drain the system like tha cathar
tics that leave you so thirsty. Dr.
Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is a liquid
laxative which relies on senna for Ha
laxative action. It gently helpe tha
average person’s constipated Dowels

You can always get Dr. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin at any drug store, ready
