It looks as if someone- in authority, parents or ;guardians, are much at S0 ;fault. Folly is bound up in the heart of youth, and boys and girls who, - for very youth and foolishness, matte. missteps which' bring- serious results s have reason in later years to re- proach their parents who failed to save them from their own, folly and waywardness. We hear much of the wildness of the yuoth of today but the youth of today has been :hi' the hands of its parents, just as the youth of all ages has, from baby- hood up. Parenthood brings a re- sponsibility which, if one may judge .by the number of children allowed to play about the streets until late hours at night,is being taken very lightly by many, Neglected chil- dren seldom bring happiness or hon- our either to themselves or their parents. 'From now until midsummer ex- aminations are aver will be a some - at' nerve -wrecking wh and strenuous time for the students and mothers will be wise to: see- that they get plenty of nourishing food, regular periods of rest and some diverting recreation daily. Examinations loom up so alarmingly to some boys and girls, especially girls, that they find it difficult to keep their minds upon their studies. Such students should be :encouraged to put aside the thought of the coming ordeal and concentrate on the, work on hand. It is 'the only way to be prepared. Hut parents can assist by. insisting on a general line of conduct and then re- fraining from nagging. It is natural, of course, that moth- ers should be anxious about the sue- cess uecess of their children whose edu- • cation is costing them some sacri- fice, but nagging seldom helps any- one- and it certainly hinders many. Sometimes the very best way to help is. by doing nothing at all. A cheer- ful, normal atmosphere in the home will' help a nervous child to get a I grip on himself more than anything else. And no doubt mothers can assist by seeing that the child is nourished and gets proper rest. One hates to speak of such things but every little while something happens which brings home to all thoughtful minds the fact that many young people, both boys and girls, are not receiving the care and the oversight which young people are entitled to and which they must have if they are to make the best of their lives. The public streets at 'night, even in a town as small and as far removed from the great cen- tres of wickedness as Clinton, are tar front the proper place for youth. In my work I often - have -occasion to be on the streets late at night, and it is seldom when such happens that I do not see young folk, girls and boys of tender years, aimlessly walking about or eongre- 0 dere is a nice hot weather dish for supper 'or luncheon: Tomato Chicken Mousse 1 1-3 tablespoons of gelatine; 1-3 cupful of- cold water; 21-2 cupfuls of tomato juice; 1-4 capful of hot wa- ter; 1 Bay leaf; 1 slice onion; 2 cloves; 4 pepper berries; 1 tablespoon of salt; 2 teaspoons of lemon juice; 1 cupful cream, whipping; 1 cupful diced carrots; 1 cupful diced chicken; 1 cupful diced celery; 2. tablespoons choppedigreen pepper.
