"Yes, I remember he said that he would not forget Amos either. It sounded like a threat," she added, her voice trembling.

StAJUUSBURG TELEGRAPEC ©MAKING THE MOST OF r\ OUR CHILDREN U __ A Series of Plain Talks to iQTCIItS I IP Ray C Beery, A.8., M.A.MET J j President of the Parents Association, (Copyrighted, 1918, by The Parents Association, Inc.) "I never saw anyone so careless in 1 my life," a mother said to her child. The thought apparently never en jtered her mind that the child could Ibe taught in a positive way to be | careful. When you realize that there is a I natural tendency, even on the part of adults as well as children, to grow | careless, and that children as a rule | are not taught properly how to be i careful in the first place, you can j easily understand why this trait of i carelessness is so common among 1 our children. A father presented the following case; "Our little daughter is very care less with her dolls and toys. We have tried to have her feel that she must be careful or she cannot have the toy. Upon taking the tqy away we have told her that since she has abused it she will have to go with out it for a while. What bothers us is that she does not seem to mind it, we have taken the toy she seem ed the most fond of but she goes right along cheerfully and does not let it bother her in the least. Is there no way we can reach her?" I advise approaching your little daughter from a different angle. With this child you will find it better to abandon the idea of cor rection in the usual sense of the term. Avoid telling her that she must be careful or the toy will have to be taken away from her. Do not even try taking the doll away from her. since you have found that meth od ineffective. The mother of this little girl should make it a point to spend five-minute periods with her several times a day for three or four days. During these play periods, the mother must co operate with the daughter and see that she has such a good time that she will love to have her mother come and play. Now we will suppose that the mother is with the daughter near Trawlers in Brave Fight With U-Boats | London.—Three British trawlers. ! although outraged by the enemy guns, recently fought four German submarines until put out of action by! the U-boats. According to an account! ,of th. engagement thp trawl ers Onward, Era and Nellie Nutten, were patroling near the North sea fishing ground, when a submarine came in sight. The trawlers opened fire on the submarine and the sub marine replied. Soon three more sub marines appeared out ot fhe haze, and all joined in the attack on the trawl j ers. who kept up the unequal fight, despite the fact that the Germans I : Daily Dot Puzzle s . 15 £.u-i 22. * i| 4 * • 23t 3 // 24 * W • *5 // #|o j -9 a'w'* * 4 * Vh Ig= so Draw from one to two and so on to tlie end. the little doll's bed and the dolls. (It is advisable, if you have "not already done so. to furnish the lit tle girl with at least one doll's bed, one large "mother doll" and at least two or three smaller dolls, supposed ly little daughters of the mother doll.) Your wife should handle the various dolls and talk to them in such a way as to captivate the atten tion of the daugmer. She should i exaggerate her movements so as to | emphasize her careful handling of I them. Note this important point. ! Her attention must be altogether on ! the dolls —she must not appear to ! have her own daughter in her I thoughts at all. If she shows great enthusiasm and interest in what she is doing with the dolls —not giving the daughter the idea that she is trying to show her how—the daughter will be mucjt more likely to imitate her after the mother leaves. After a minute or two of such play, the mother might say with raised eyebrows and a finger pointed to her lips: "Yes —see'.' The little baby-doll is almost asleep; now you have the mother doll crawl into bed so quietly that she will not disturb the baby. Very gently." Next, use the principle of appro val. Make yourself practically blind to her awkwardness or carelessness. The trait that you want to draw out is carelessness and the way to ac complish this is to tnlk about it and approve it. There is always some little detail at least which can be approved. Approve that detail. If she should even break a doll, don't scold her; don't take it, or any other doll, away. Let her get along with the broken one as best she can. But don't "rub it on." Either talk to her in a friendly way about it or say nothing. Any child consistently treated in the manner described will learn to be careful. (Copyrighted, 1918, The Parents Association, Inc.) excelled them In gunpower and speed.

If there are any green tomatoes or Inst tiny cucumbers that have been overtaken by the cold weather, they may bo made a delicious addition to the winter stores by being pickled or used in chow-chow and other pickle combinations. The last of the eggplant, peppers and okra are also worth canning and the last planting ofspinach should not be allowed to go to waste. Gather it to the last half and dry before storing. Perhaps you have left a few odd ears of corn that were late in tilling out. Do you know how delicious these arc roasted in the corn popper on the top of a hot stove? Corn of this kind doesn't pop to be sure, but the grains puff out and roast to a beautiful mouth-watering brown. Eaten as popcorn with butter and salt, or as a cereal with milk, it is a treat not only enjoyed by the children but the older members of the family as well. And how ahout the lima beans you have left on the vines to be burned as rubbish.

Advice to the Lovelorn BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX 1 WHAT SHALI, SHE GIVE HIM ? j DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: Some time ago 1 met a young man I whom I regard as a very desirable I friend. After about a month, during which time 1 saw him almost every day. he joined the Army and is now in camp. Would it be proper for me to remember him with a little gift on his birthday, and if so, what might I give him? RUTH. It would be quite proper for you to remember the young soldier on his birthday. It is always a question, however, to know what to give a man 9 in service, as the amount of space at the disposal is so limited. Why not give him one of those useful little kits, either toilet, medicine or amuse- , holding cards, checkers, etc., that are especially designed for soldiers? ; Read This About: Influenza A Slight Chest Cold Often Leads to Deadly Pneumonia t When you catch cold l< • nc this epidemic don't take any '.
