No. 28. How Shall We Core the Destructive Child?
(Copyrighted, 1918, by The Parents Association, Inc.)
"Little wild animals" is the ex
pression used by many mothers in
speaking of the neighbors' children.
All too frequently these little so
called wild animals run through
flower beds, climb verandas, make
no end of noise and do various other
things to try a mother's patience.
The question is: How control
them when on your premises?
One mother reports a case, the
treatment ot which may interest
other mothers:
"Two neighbor boys, aged four
and six, were pulling leaves and
twigs off the shrubbery. At the
dining table, the hostess re
• marked that she had been an
noyed the past few days by sev
eral of the neighbors' children.
The moment she caught sight
of the two boys, she hastened to
the window, tapped it loudly
and, with a frown on her face,
motioned for them to leave. But
they didn't leave. Why?"
The frown she wore was one rea
son. Her tapping on the window

Scientists have discovered that

various kinds, that furnish the in- !

practically every ill and ailment of
mankind. Medicines made from
roots, herbs, and barks which Na- j

man, are better than strong mineral j

MONDAY EVENING,
before company was another. Still
another reason, pre-supposed. is that
she never entered their play or
showed them that she was inter
ested in their having a good time.
These are the most important rea
sons.
Instead of going to the window,
she should have gone quietly to the
door, called the older of the boys
to her with a positive smile on her
tace, and after the boy reached her,
said slowly in a low voice, something
like this: "Byron, you and Chester
may play on the lawn out here but
do not touch any of the shrubbery.
This is certainly, a fine day, isn't it?"
The question in the latter part
of the quotation could be omitted
but it helps to show a friendly spirit
and, for this reason, aids in getting
the desired response from the child.
When children do things that an
noy, it is the most natural thing in
the world to tell them to stop in a
way that shows your disgust. But
this causes the children naturally to
take all the advantage they can in
the future.
One mother had trouble with
some neighbor children who like to
annoy her by ringing the door bell
and then hiding. One evening the
father happened to be in the house
when the door bell rang and saw the
boys skip away to their hiding place.
Instead of going out immediately,
this father wisely waited till the
boys came out from behind the
bushes and then he came out of the
house whistling, pretending not to
notice the boys especially. The boys
spoke to him and, on seeing that he
was going to do them no harm, ap
proached him and got him to play
a little game with them.
The father entered the game en
thusiastically and after playing
about a minute, he had all of" the
boys sit down on the grass in a cir
cle around him and announced in a
very low, confidential voice: "The
bell on the front door is attached to
an electric battery which wears out
if the' button is pressed long at a
time. I wanted to announce this
to you boys and if you see anyone
else going to push the button, tell
them I don't want it used unless
tliey are on business. You will all
remember this, I know. All right,
let's finish our game." Those boys
"remembered."
It always is wise in advising chil
dren to leave your premises,
whether there be two or r dozen,
to get their attention and express at
least one thought in a naive way
which shows that you are not un
friendly and then say, "You may all

Many Seek Furloughs
to Work With Farmers;
Must Give Full Data
The United States Employment
Service has been deluged with re
quests by military men for informa
tion regarding the necessary steps
to be taken to secure furloughs from
army duties so that they may do
pressing agricultural service in the
farming areas. The approach of the
planting season for 1919 and tiie gath
ering in ot the fail corn crop are
responsible for the requests. The
War Department has issued general
orders granting furloughs to men
needed in agricultural occupations
tins fall. Commanding officers at tlte
different camps will deckle on all fur
loughs given. Men. en bloc, willing
to work on farms may do so but the
requests for furloughs must come from
larmers. Individual furloughs to do
farm work are granted through the
applicant's local draft board. A spe
cial blank form is used in making out
the request. Whether the tanner or
enlisted man n akes the application,
tiie latter must give complete infor
mation concerning the location of the
farm, necessity for the furlough, acre
age ligures and other data. The mili
tary authorities judge by tliis whether
the soldier should or should not be a
temporary farmer.
Deferred classifications are giver
men now on the farms until after the
seeding and harvesting time has
passea. Application for deferred
classification under tiie circumstances
must be made first to the local draft
board and upon its approval be sent
to the district draft board for final
sanction.
New German Chancellor
Foe to Democracy
Washington, Oct. 7. As casting
an Interesting sidelight oit the views
| of the new German Chancellor, Prince
, -Maximilian of Baden, who has be
j come so suddenly a central figure in
world affairs, the committee on public
i gave out the translation
I of a speech delivered by the Prince
lon August 22 at the one hundredth
, anniversary of the granting of a con
stitution to Baden.
In the address the Prince, who at
the time probably had 110 idea that he
1 was soon to be the spokesman for
i Germany in an attempt to bring
about peace, cast a decided slur upon
; "the western democracies," and said
; he hoped their mob rule, lynch-justice
and 'boycotts would always remain
i foreign to Germany. He referred to
"tlie new heathenism" of Clemenceau
and Lioyd George and "the low and
rude sentiments for our enemies."
He declared that England, France
and America were determined to de
stroy Germany; that their long-shat
tered illusions on this subject were
rising again, 'but shall be shattered
again."
Through the speech runs a vein of
"unchangeable faith" in the ruler of
Germany, und the Prince quotes from
a declaration of the Upper Chamber
ol the Baden Parliament at the time
the constitution was granted, this
sentiment:
"The war i 3 still going on. In Eng
land. France and America the deter
mination to destroy us is becoming
more shamefully apparent than ever.
Their old long-shattered illusions are
again rising. But they shall be shut
tered again. It is not necessary for
us to encourage ourselves to remain
united. Every act, every speech of
the hostile governments, calls out to
us: 'Close your ranks; the storm
which is threatening our national life
is severe and .will last long. Who
doubts that we will victoriously with
stand it? The Upper Chamber of
Baden thanks your Royal Highness
(the Grand Duke of Raden) that it
may here give testimony of the
thought of German freedom, as it has
remained alive throughout our his
tory. With moved heart, it repeats
to-day the vow of unchangeable faith
toward its ruler."
Troops Well Supplied
With Food During Fight
With (he- American Army, \orth- i
west of Verdun, Oct. 6. (Delayed).—
The American troops engaged in to
day's attack were well looked after
by the American Commissariat. The
men in the front trenches in the
early morning shivered under the
penetration of the chill in the misty
air, but the directing force of the
rapidly growing American fighting
machine had not forgotten the con
ditions likely to prevail and almost
every man had been supplied with
worm clothing. To the great ma
jority of the men sleeveless leather
coats had been issued, while trucks
moving from the rear bore ton upon
ton of overcoats.
Moving over every road were the
commissary trucks and movable
witchens. The earlier lessons had
been well learned, the men in the
trenches and in the field were not
going hungry. Comparatively few
of them had occasion to resort to
their iron ration. They were served I
with hot coffee and some sort of
substantial cooked food. These were!
supplemented by wagonloads of choc
olate of the sort that comes in little
rectangular cakes wrapped in paper I
The routes of the Americans, both in
the trenches and the fields over i
which they passed were marked by !
the small paper wrappers the men !
had thrown away. /

HARRISBUHG TELEGRAPH,
The Plotters
A New Serial of
East and West
By Virginia Terhune
Van de Water
CHAPTER XJ, VIII.
(Copyright, 1918, Star Company)
The "short cut" through the
woods was so rough that John But
ler and Elizabeth Wade had to go
slowly.
Y'et they made few comments on
the unevenness of the trail. For
the past hour they had been talk
ing steadily. Now that all ques
tions had been—for the present at
least—asked and answered, a si
lence fell upon them.
But it was a happy silence, for
each was busy with thoughts too
deep for words.
Elizabeth was reviewing men
tally all that she had been through
this summer—the fears, her sink
ings of heart, above all her dread
of John Butler's anger with her for
the plot in which she had played
so large a part.
For it might have turned out
very differently. John might not
have recovered his health. Or he
might have been angry with Doug
las and herself.
She had not told her companion
of how little money Douglas had,
of how hard a fight he had to
make. That was something that
concerned her and her brother. She
was not so foolish as to fancy that
I all her brother's secrets must be
confided to the man whom she was
io marry.
She felt almost guilty as she re
flected on how much smoother her
own path would probably be than
Douglas's path had been. She had
no idea as to how much money her
betrothed had. She did not care.
She knew that he could support her.
and it did not matter how simply
they must live.
Of course John's mother had
money, but John would not touch
that. The probability was that he
must work just as hard for his liv
ing now that he was restored to
health as must any other young
man who is not actually poor.
Perhaps he might carry on his
| profession as scientific farmer. He
had proved what he could do with
j this farm that had been sadly
neglected for years.
'Her Spirits Drop
I And now that she remembered
i the farm she recalled her anxiety
! with regard to it. and her spirits
| dropped suddenly. In her new
i found happiness she had forgotten
| that she must part with the place
I that was so dear to her. Yet she
| was glad that there was a chance
that would not own it, that
I John had a friend who might buy
| the property. She wanted to know
! something about this possible pur
| chaser.

laughed at his question. "I was

! "What friend?" he questioned,
puzzled.
"The man you thought might

John Butler put his arm about
her and drew her to him.
"Why do you ask, little girl?"
"I was just wondering," she con
fessed, "if you could communicate
with him soon—for I do not want
Amos to own the place."
"He won't," with a confident
smile. "The man I spoke ot has
decided to buy it at your brother's
own price."

fraught with astonishment that her
companion smiled. "But how do
you know? Surely you have not
had time to confer with him? Who

"Guess!" he teased.

eyes, the truth burst upon her. 1

"Oh. John," she breathed, "you
do not mean—oh, my dear—you
can't afford that is, do you
mean—" She stopped, words fail
ing her.
"Yes," he declared, "I do mean
just that. I want the farm as a
present to the dearest girl that ever
lived. Darling if your brother will
part with it I am going to buy it.
Then it will be yours absolutely.
Why. Elizabeth, darling—you are
crying!"
Tears of Joy
"Oh, John," she murmured, cling
ing to him. "There is not such an
other man in all the world!"
"Perhaps it is well for the world
that there is not!" he mocked, "But
we must get on home, dear girl, for
we have quite a rough path ahead
of us."
He was right. The path proved
so rough that, when they reached
the edge of the wood, Elizabeth's
shoes wore mud-stained, and her
thin dress torn by snags and roots.
"What a fright I look!" she ex
claimed, surveying her muddy skirt.
"I am ashamed of my appearance."
"You need not be." he assured
her. "In my estimation you look
lovelier with each minute that
pgsses."
She laughed at his tender words.

dry leaves ahead of them, "who is
that coming?"

into view.
OLD AGE STARTS

Science says that old age begins
with weakened kidneys and diges

This being true, it is easy to be

be deferred and life prolonged far
beyond that enjoyed by the average
person.
