Thom thinks we will do tnuch towurd making the world bet ter when we discover the reason for social and economic failure and cor t ect them at 5 years of ago instead of 30. Most of the causes of social failure and many of those of economic failure lie in the realm of bad mental hygiene. 'J here are certain fundamentals neces sary to the mental development of every human being that are more in e vidence in children than at nny other period in life. These are plasticity, suggestibility, tmltutlveness, and love of approbation. These qualities. Dr. Thom says. 4 -oust be made use of in childhood if the child is to develop Into a thorough ly sane, poised, happy adult. When the child begins to show un desirable mental and social traits, the wise parent or teacher will use those qualities to overcome the traits. Among such traits are jealousy, tim idity, cruelty, self-consciousness, feel ing of inferiority, suspiciousness, and envy. In Dr. Ilealy’s list are intense dis satisfactions, grudge formations, im pulses, and obsessions, mental con flicts, Jealousies and emotional out breaks. ** Dr. Thom, while not claiming that the children with these behavior pc luliaritles arc the persons who de velop the mental breakdown in adult life, says: "Yet it is not difficult to see how closely these infantile reac tions resemble the psyohoneurotic manifestations In adult life and that a fundamental lack of Inhibitions may be a dominating characteristic in a criminal career." It Is too early to decide what is the relation between the peculiar child end the Insane adult. More data. must. f be accumulated. Except In dementia praecox. Investigation of the antece dents of Insanity have not included in quiry Into the normality or abnor mality of behavior of the person In childhood. To my mind, the value of Dr. Thom's contribution ties In what he says of the way out. Two years ago s committee trying to work out some data on abnormal behavior of school children was able to agree on some recommendations for diagnosis, but when It came to recommending treat ment they came up against a stone wall. Dr. Thom's suggestions relate to patha along which the minds of chil dren naturally flow. Training which makes use of these natural aptitudes and qualities of childhood should lead some of these children Into good men tal hsblts. | Regrowth of Tonsils. R. J. H. writes- "1.

Johnnie Gree^l liked to fish. The fish he didn't catch were always far bigger than any he ever landed. And that's a queer thing about fishing. Almost any fisherman will tell you so. Now, Tommy Fox liked to hunt. And there was this difference between him and Johnnie Green. Lost fish looked big to Johnnie. Lost game looked small to Tommy. For Instance: Tommy Fox spied Plump Mr. Grouse sitting on a log. "My! He's the biggest grouse I ever saw!” he exclaimed under Ills breath. And he began to creep up behind Mr. Grouse. Catch'ng sight of Tommy out of the corner of his eye, Mi'. GrouSe went up with a rush and a loom, as his strong wings beat the air. He perch ed himself in a tree nearby. And Tommy Fox walked beneath it and stared up at him. “You're only a little fellow," Tommy Fox called to him. Mr. Grouse didn't even glance down. However, he called to a friend of his in a neighboring tree: "Did you no tice a little yellowish-reddish dog around her? There was one prowl ing about, only a moment ago. Byt he's so small he’s hard to see." Now, Tommy Fox knew well I enough that Mr. Grouse meant him. He didn't so much mind being called small. But to be mistaken far a dog! Ah! That was enough to dis please anybody. “Pm rot a dog,” he barked in an angry tone. "Bless me!” exclaimed Mr. Grouse. 1 My Marriage Problems Aiiele Garl son's Near Phase of "Revelations of a Wife.”_j \\ hat Madge Overheard When the Reporters Talked. \s Picky hurried away Common Sense Go In Bebt If You Would Be ' Wealthy.

Mrs. Bates is s nice sweet-spoken [lady, a widow of four years’ stand [ ing, and 1 do say she's tust the one for Dr. Waring s wife, fete lias dig nity, and yet slie'S 1 nighty human. Emily Bates was human. Not very tall, a little ineltned to plumpness, with fair hair and laughing blue eyes, she was of a cozy, home-loving sort, and her innate good nature and ready tact were unfailing. At Iirst she had resisted John War ing's appeal, but ho persisted, until she found she really liked the big, wholesome man, and without much difficulty learned to love him. Waring was distinguished looking rather than handsome. Tall and well made, he had a decided air of reserve which he harely broke through, but which, Emily Bates discovered, could give way to confidences showing depths of sweetness and charm. The two were happily matched. Waring was 42 and Mrs. Bates half a dozen years younger. Rut both seemed younger than their years, and retained their earlier tastes and enthusiasms. Also both wero hound up, heart and soul, in the welfare of the uni versity. Mrs. Bates' first husband had been one of its prominent professors and its history and traditions were known and loved by the cheery little lady. Perhaps the only t erso.i in Corinth who was not pleased at t o- approach ing nuptials of John Waring and Emily Bates was Mrs. Peyton. War Ings present housekeeper. For it meant the loss of her position, which siie had faithfully filled for 1') years or more. And this meant tlie loss of u. good and satisfactory home, not only for herself, but for her daughter Helen, a girl of IS, who lived there also. Not yet had Waring told ins house keeper that she was to be dethroned, but she knew the notice would come— knew, too. that it was delayed only be cause of John Warring’s disinclination to say or do anything unweicomo to another. It was a very cold lobruary alter noon, and Mrs. Peyton was serving tea fn the cheerful living room. Emily Bates was present; au Indulgence she seldom allowed herself, for she was punctilious regarding conventions, and Corinth people, after all, were critical. The two women were outwardly most courteous, and if there was an underlying hostility it was not obser vable on the part cl either. ‘‘I came today,” Emily Bates said, as she took her tea cup from the Jap anese butler who offered It, "because T want to tell you. John, of some rumors I heard in the town. They say there is trouble brewing for you.” ” 'Trouble brewing’ Is such a pic turesque phrase." Waring said, smil ing idly, as he stirred his tea. "One immediately visions Macbeth’s witches, and their trouble brew’.’’ "You needn't laugh," Emily flashed an affectionate smile toward him. “when the phrase Is used it often means something." "Something vague, and Indefinite,” suggested Gordon Lockwood, who was ] Waring'* secretary, and was as one of the family. "Not necessarily,” Mrs. Bales re turned: "more likely something defi nite, though perhaps not very alarm ing.” "Such as what." asked Waring, and from what direction? Will the fresh men make me au apple pie bed, or will the seniors haze me, do you think? Be serious, John," Mrs. Bates beg ged. "I tell you there is a movement on foot to stir up dissension. I hoard they woulq ci ntest the election." “Ob. they can’t do that," Lock wood stated; "nor would anybody try. Don't be alarmed, Mrs. Bates. I’m sure w-e know all that's going on— and I can’t think there's any ’trou ble brewing’ for Doctor Waring." "I’ve heard it. too,” votichasfed Mrs. Peyton. ‘‘It s not anything defi nite, but there are rumors and hints' and where there’s smoke, there’s bound to be fire. I wish you’d at least look into it, doctor.” . “Yes” agreed Emily Bates, “do look into it, John. Persuade him, Mr. Lockwood. Not of his duty, he never misapprehends that, hut of the neces sity of looking on this matter as a duty.” "Wha* a pleader you are, Emily," ' Daily Prayer Then ehalt ihon rail, and the Lord shall answer.—iaa. 6#;». O Thou Who are so distant that no reach of our thought can compass Thee, and so near that we are apt to overlook Thee, hear our prayer. Our Saviour taught us to address Thee in the endearing names of our homes. We can call ourselves Thy sons, aud we can call Thee our Father and our Friend. And we are not as unim portant as sometimes we seem, for tf we are less than the child, to care for us Thou art more than the moth er.

"Hello folkses," he cried. ‘ Hello, Aunt Emily.” Tie gave Mrs. Elates an audible kisa on the pretty check and bowed with boyish good humor to Mrs. Peyton. "flow do you do, Uncle Doctor?” and "Plow goes it, Lock?" he went on, as he threw htmself, a little sprawUngly, into an easy chair. "And here's the fair 1-lelpn of Troy." He jumped up as Helen Peyton came into the room. "Why Pinky," said she, "when did you come?” ".lust now, tn.v girl, as you notmj from your oriel lattice—and camp running down to bask In the sunshine of my smiles.” "Behave yourself. Pinky,” admon ished his aunt, as she noted Helen's titilek blush and realized the saucy boy had told the truth. Pinckney Payne, college freshman, and nephew of Emily Bates, was very fond of Dr. Waring, his English teaclmi, and as also fond, in Ills boy-' ish way, of his aunt. But he was no i-i. peeler of authority, and now, i tIrat his aunt was to b« the wife of i liis favorite professor, also the presi j dent-elect of tile college, ho assumed i an absolute familiarity w ith the whole I household. His nickname was not only an ab- i brevintion, but was descriptive of bis ! exuberant health and Invariably red | cheeks. For the rest, he was just a | rollicking, care free boy, ringleader 1o college fun, often punished, but. bob-1 tiling up serenely again, ready for; more mischief. Helen Pejtou adored the. irrepressi ble Pinky, and though he liked her. it was no more than he felt for many others and not so much as he had for a few. Tea, Mrs. Peyton? Oh, yes, in deed, thank you. Yes. two lemon and three sugar. And toasts—and cakes— oh, what good ones! What a tuck! Alma Mater doesn't feed us like this! I say. Aunt Emily, after you are married, may I come to tea every day? And bring tlie fellows?” “I’ll answer that—you may,” said John Waring. “And I’ll revise the answer—you may, with reservations.” Mrs. Bates supplemented. “Now, Pinky, you're j a dear and sweet, hut you can’t an- j nex this house and all its affairs, just because it’s going to he my I home.” "Don’t want to, auntie. T only want you to annex me. You'll keep iho same cook we have at present, j won't you?” lie looked solicitously at her, over | a large slice of toast and jam he was . devouring. “Maybe and maybe not,” Mrs. Pey- , ton spoke up. “Cooks are not always anxious to be kept.” “At any rate, we’ll have, a cook,. Pinky, of some sort,” his aunt assured | him. and the boy turned to tease Helen j Peyton, who was quite willing to be I teased. “I saw your beau today, Helen,” he said. “Which one?” she asked placidly. “Is there a crowd? Well, I mean the Tyler person. Hlrn us, hangs out nt Oltl Salt’s. And, by the'way, Uncle President—yes, I am a hit previous on both counts, but you’ll eooii have the honor of being both president and dny uncle—by the way, I say, Bob Tyler says there’s something in the wind.” "A straw to show which way it blows, perhaps," Waring said. “Perhaps, sir. But it’s blowing. Tyler says there’s a moment on foot to make things hot. for you if you take the presidential chair with your pres ent intentions.” “My intentions?” “Yes, sir; about athletics, and sports in general.” "And what are my so-called inten tions?” “They say, you mean to 'cut out. sport-” "Oh, Pinckney, you know better than that!” “Well, Dr. Waring, some seem to think that’s what you have in mind.
