The baby who hears constant quar-
relling between his parents is bound
to develop some disability which does
not diminish, but rather increases,
with age.
Standard of Conduct
The least disability he will acquire
will be a quarrelsome, nagging dis-
position. Some children become sub -
neat to permanent nervous disorders
as a direct consequence of living in
the presence of threats and bad tem -
leers.
Such a child will be out at elbows
with some one all his life; his broth-
el% and sisters, his playfellows, his
co-workers, his wife, his own chil-
dren. So the evil goes on, for ever
increasing its sphere of influence
and harmfulness.
The importance of the behavior
of parents towards one another and
towards their children cannot be
over -emphasized.
The home is the first unit of society
with which the child comes in con-
tact, and It le there that he ]earns
ineradicable lessons of behavior.
If he le set an example of dignity,

the sisters of a large convent.

The natural treatment for rheuma-
tism is Kruschen Salts. The six minuet
salts of Kruschen have a direct effect
upon the whole blood stream, neutral-
ising uric acid, which is the recognised!
cause of rheumatism. They also
restpre the eliminating organs to proper
working order and so prevent con-
stipation, thereby checking the further
formation of uric acid and other body
poisons which undermine the health.
