Mistakes Some Parents Make: By Dorothy Dix Perhaps there never was a time When there was such a crying need for wise fatlie're and mothers, or when parents seemed so little able to deal intelligently eyith the child-rearing problem as now. When we look, at the young people of to -day it appears that parent are divided into two groups; those who give their children unbridled liberty and life nse and exert no authority. over' them, and those who .give them no freedom whatever and enforce the tyranny of the Middle Ages over them. Under the Parental Thumb. On once side we see boys and girls; still in their teens, going the pace that kills. On the other hand, we se'e par- ent's who are so horrified at what these uncontrolled youngsters do . that they put the screw on their own boys and girls and crush every particle of pleasure out of their lives. They will not let their daughter go to. a party or a dance. They will not let a .young man come to the house, and the consequence is that the girl slips out of the back door and meets him secretly. Itis not strange that neither plan works, for you ruin a child if you are either too hard or too lenient. Par- ents must see parenthood as a job that they have undertaken, and to which they mush give thought and in- telligence, instead of going at it in a haphazard way, doing what is easiest 'to do at the moment and trusting the results' to luck. Parents allow their children to be impudent and disobedient to them. They never make their children do anything because it is their duty to do it. They deny themselves to ° give s everything to their children.' And Hien they wonder,' when -the children grow into Manhood and womanhood, that they are se1flsh and disrresSeeetful and idle and of no account. It would be a miracle -if they were anything else! Wrong Upbringing. The worthlessnees of many rich neen's sons and daughters is a proverb. It is''only occasionally that a self -node man's son is able to step into hie father's shoes and carry on the big business that the father has built up. This Se < not because the boy had not the natural equipment, but because of the way he was brought up I have heard such men say: "I was as poor as a dog when I was a child; I never had any decent clothes. I neveshad a penny of spending money. I had to go to work when I was four- teen, and I don't want my children to go through the hardships that I did." So he lavishes money as if It were Water upon his childlren. Many of them learn nothing but how to be wasteful. He requires nothing of them, and they grow up to be idle, wortnless men, who know no Taw but. th'e'ir own pleasure. But if too -lenient parents ruin their children, so do too -harsh .ones. Par- ents can no longer exercise supreme authority over their children. To a certain extent the bays and girls are going to do what all the other boys and girls are doing, because we roust all live the life of our age. But parents can modify the effect of the times on their children. They can teach them self-control. They can teach them to take their pleasures in moderation. They can give diem standards to live by and ideals to trugl•e to. g up NOTHING TO EQUAL' BABY'S OWN TABLETS Mrs. Georges Lefebvre, St. Zenon, Que,, writes: "I do not think there is any other medicine to equal Baby's Own Tablets for little ones. I have used them for my baby and would use nothing e1s:.e.',1. What Mrs. Lefebvre says thousands of other mothers say. They have found by trial that the Tab- lets always do just what is claimed for them.

The Old English Road. Time was, and that not long distant, when a sojourner in a country vilia,ge could slumber undisturbed through a summer afternoon. To -day, the scene is changed. Heralded by dust and fol- lowed by smell, motorcars and motor- eycl'es thunder past. The spng of birds is drowned by hoot orf here and thud of engine; the fueh- sia bushes at the pottage doors are thick with dust. . . The road, fifty years ago 'well-nigh deserted, has re- Terted to an earlier type and is once more the highway of commerce and of pleasure. But its constituents and its aspect are far different from that of the centuries, when it was at once the piaygr:o.und and: the workshop of Eng- hiid. The road was also the market -place of England, and in-:th'at market -place wrought merchants of every grade, from the wealthy traders of Mandela,' riding beside pack -horses heavily Tad'en With his country's wares, to the ginunble peddler, his stock upon his back, trudging through mud and mire • ,n his daily round or to the nearest fair.

In an age when newspapers were un- known and books were few, these tra- vellers carried the news of other lends to home dwellers, and the unlettered homes of northern Europe were brought into touch with the learning and refinement of ancient civilizations. It satisfied that passion for adventure to which pilgrimage, Elizabethan ex- ploration and modern colonization have all in turn ministered. .

They drink• continuously or not at all. Thus they live and grow as extremists and are'either destroyed or die of old age unreformed. In fact the older they are the harder they drink and the greater their thirst., But no tree was ever found the worse for drinking. When they sleep in winter they go to the other extreme and are teetotalers, but with the first sunshine and thaw of spring they resume their bibulous habits. When a tree once takes its piece at Nature's great fountain "the earth's sweet flowing breast," 'it. demands a steady supply of food, and if it doesn't get it it goes into a huff, throws off its handsome headdress, withers, and dies and turns up its heels to the sky. - The liquid food of the tree is brewed in the ground. Water is the important ingredient. Billions of bacteria work to make solvable many substances so they may be dissolved by water and taken into,, the circulatory system of the tree. The tiny roots of the tree drink this lifeis fluid which Is lifted hundreds of feet as if by a miracle defying the laws of gravity without any moving machinery. This fluid .is distributed to the branches, thence to the leaves, the stomach of the tree, where another miracle is performed when the, liquid is digested and made ready to be formed into wood.. The tree grows .year by year like a person in height and girth. If the tree falls in the forest billions of bacteria will get hold of it and with the help of air and sun and moisture its substance will eventually be transformed into the liquid food for other trees. Codliver Oil. Many of us have distinctly unpleas ant recollections of the days a genera tion ago, when the three chief con stituents of the family medicine chest were Castor Oil, Balearic Oil and Cod- liver oil. These three were individual- ly or coITeetively administered on in- numerable occasions. One feature common to all stands out in our mem- ory, namely, their disagreeable taste. The liret two of the time-honored remedies have been gradually sup- planted by preparations equally effica- cious and infinitely more palatable. Codliver Oil, however, is more firmly established to -day than ever. Codliver Oil in its pure form is still considered to exert some rather de- finite .influents in the prevention of diseases of the respiratory tract;._ to be an 'excellent tonic for younger child- ren taken alone or combined with other medical agents. It is, however, as a preventa'tiv'e and 'cure for rickets that it is now most widely used. In the temperate zones, owing to the lack of sufficient sunshine in the autumn and winter months, it has been found necessary to give all bottle -Sed and most breast-fed infants Codliver Cil, in order to avoid' the possibility of their developing this extremely common complaint. Codliver 011 may be safely adminis- tered in email tioees to all children without fear of digestive disiturbanoe, and is readily taken by infants.

EFFICIENCY IMPAIRED Why MMany;Men and Women Are Badly Handicapped. When you are so run down in health that it impairs the efficiency of your work as well as your power to enjoy. your leisure hours, or obtain rest, it is time you looked to the cause. If you do not, a salmis breakdown Is almost sure to result sooner or later. In nearly all cases this condition, which doctors usually describe as general debility, is due to poor blood—blood that is deficient in red corpuscles. When the blood Is thin and weak your whole system suffers. You lose ap- petite, have no energy, your nerves trouble you and you feel restless. What you need is help to build up your blood and you should begin at once to make your blood rich and red by taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. You will s000tice the difference in your health 'By a better appetite -and Increased vigor. The reason is that the new blood created by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills stimulates all the organs of the body to healthy activity, and so the system gains nourishment and strength. If you are weak or out of sorts begin gaining new strength to- day by taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. You can get these pills from your druggist or by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams" Medicine Co.,. Brockville, Ont. • Emperor Hirohito Interesting Character The personality and interests of the new Japanese Emperor, Hirohito, were described recently by General Charles H. Sherrill, who met the ruler when ` he was heir to the throne in Paris in - 1921, through Count Chinda, former - Japanese Ambassador in Washington, and old friend of General Sherrill. The Prince had made an extensive tour of Europe and despite: his youth had left behind an impression of an extraordin- ary grasp -of Western ideas of govern - meet, economics and social institu- tions, said General Sherrill. "Prince Hirohito was not only an in- teresting personality, he -said, "but above all an "interested" personality. When he learned form Count Chinda that I ha.d spent several months in Japan in 1919 he questioned me at length on my impressions of his coun- try, and displayed the keenest: interest M every phase of Western politics and government. It was at a large recep- tion given by the French in his Honor that I mst him, and in the midst of a brilliant assemblage of Occidentals he was a figure of outstanding interest. Simple and dignified in his bearing, ho had the fncc of a student, representing all the traditions of his ancient coun- try, yet showing an eager desire to learn everything possible of the civili- zation o fa different world. No finer compliment could have ben paid to the peoples of Europe than the interest he .evinced in their life and institu- tions: "With his accession to the throne Japan has her grst ruler who is inti- mately acquainted with the Western world: It is a significant fact that the greatest world power i tithe Far East is a man who thus appreciates, the aims and aspirations of the Occident. Reore'senting as he does the unbroken traditions of 2,500 years, it is evident that there 'ei come no, radical changes of a political nature under his rule.

The child should be 'examined every six months at least, in order that 'any existing foci of disease in nose, mouth or throat may be detected early and removed as completely as possible. An antiseptic mouth wash, gargle and noee sprayshould be used morning and evening, and the bowels should function normally. Attention to diet is important. Dur- ing an attack only milk, butter, cream or cottage cheese, toast, zwieback and cereals should be given, but after con- valescence eggs and meat in great moderation that is to say, at one meai.oniy two or three times a we•ek— mp,y be added. The child should drink plenty of water and milk both during and after an attack; lemonade and orange juice are excellent drinks.
