While the indictment given present
-day school children by a welfare
worker recently may not apply to the
;great majority of school children, it
aught at least to have the effect of
turning the milds 'of both parents
and teachers to the task of child -
training which is theirs.
"You always take the part of the
young folk," a mother said to me
once, when the conduct of the young-
..er generation was being discussed. I
always do. Why shouldn't I? The
younger generation is what the older
generation has made it. The youth
and at that time it is believed that
Ithe outline of character has been set.
We• deplore the tendency that would
throw upon the churchor the state
the responsibility of teaching children'
decency and self-control. It is not
the business• of the church or state.
It is the vital business of the par-
ents. If the children are to be blam-
ed •their fathers and mothers stand,

Someone is sure to say that the
children of good and worthy and de-
cent parents sometimes turn out
badly. I am very free to admit that.
But if you look into the matter you
win very likely find that. the -children'
in these eases lacked proper train-
ing. The parents were blameless in
their own lives but they lathed the
firmness necessary in the training of
their children; they allowed them to
"develop in their own way," and they
did, they developed into undisciplined
young savages. Almost any child
will so develop, if left to itself.
There was never a child born into the
world, if . we except the Son of God,
who didn't need training, discipline.
When it is too late, when the boy or
girl is ten, twelve or fourteen years
of age, and the father and mother.
realize that they
are becoming
un-
managable,
they sometimes endea-
vor to exercise some control and find
that it is impossible, they then begin
to wring their hands and say that.
they do not see why they should be
given this great trial, a wayward, un-
grateful son or daughter, The neigh-
bors sometimes say the same thing,
unthinkingly blaming the child for
the lack of wisdom on the part of
the parents. Wise parents begin the
training of the child in babyhood and
continue doing it until it is advanced
into and beyond adolescence. And in
these cases they are usually reward-
ed by seeing their children develop
into wise, self-respecting and worth-
while citizens, into men and women
who rise up and call their parents
blessed. These are the parents, who,
recognizing that tunes have changed
and, while not adhering to the stern
discipline of pioneer parents, still
manage to maintain order and discip-
line in the home, and over their grow-
ing children,
of today is composed of the sons and
daughters of the generation which
was more or iess strictly reared by.
the generation preceding that. These
men and women, whose youthful
years ' were strictly guarded and
whose liberties were curtailed very
severely, when they came to years of
maturity and could manage . their
own lives, in many cases leaped the
traces and began to have what they
thought was a good time doing what-
ever they liked, sometimes thus run-
ning to the extreme of a race after
pleasure and a very sketchy atten-
tion to the things which make for
the building of 'ohmmeter and the
building up of homes. When they
had children of their own to rear they
decided that they had been too strict-
Iy brought up and that if left to
themselves .children would turn out'
all right. So they left them pretty
much to themselves, the result being
that 'many of them may be running
wild. Is that the fault of the child-
ren? A child comes into the world
very much dependant upon its par -
ants. It cannot do anything for it-
self, everything has to be done for it,,
and it is just as helpless mentally
and spiritually as it is physically, • It
needs training just as much as it
needs physical •care. And this train-
ing is up to the parents. If a child
is not trained in the home it is never
trained at all. In the "Short 4th
Column" in the Mail and Empire on
Monday I was taken with the last
paragraph, which read as follows:
"When bays or girls get to be sixteen
or more the difficulty of their par-
ents controlling them increases. But

NATURAL REMEDIES supposedly had come to him, in some
mysterious way, through the Indians,
or from some far -away land, Often
this concoction was called a "tonic"
or a "blood -purifier." These were
the days when blood was described
as being "thin" or "bad," when spring
tonics and the cleansing of the blood
were accepted as necessary, if un-
pleasant, adjuncts to the awakening
of nature after the cold winter sea-
son. Strange to say, these remedies
were supposed to come from peoples
or countries which were not notor-
iously healthy.
There is nothing wrong with plants
and herbs; indeed, there is much
good in them, Nevertheless, there is
no inherent magic curative power In
the products of the earth. In this,
as in other fields, man has learned to
take these products and to improve
them in various ways in order that
some of them might be used effective-
ly in the treatment of disease. Nor
is man limited to plants and herbs In
the preparation of healing substanc-
es. There is no remedy growing out
of the earth for diphtheria or dia-
betes, but man has produced antitoxin
and insulin for their treatment. We
progress through the use of our in-
telligence, not by looking to the ig-
norant far help.

There are two classes of govern-
ment ment graded .dressed poultry—Milk-
fed and Selected --and, again, these
two classes' are divided into grades
according to quality, the latter de-
pending almost entirely upon the
mariner in which the bird has been
fed. •
Milkfed poultry show a white col-
our in the deposits of fat and a fine
soft texture in the skin and flesh, the
outward evidences of spegial feed-
ing. There are three grades of Milk
fed' poultry—A, B, and Special. The
Selected class which shows yellow
colour in the deposits of fat and no
evidence of milk -feeding, has four
grades, namely A;B,C, and. Special.
Thus, it can be seen that the declar-
ation of the kind of grade is a mat-
ter of considerable importance to the
purchaser.
Some folk seen to think that chil-
dren who are controlled and made to
conform to proper rules do not devel-
op properly; do not grow into the
character they would form if left
untrammelled. Look at a cultivated
flower and compare it with the wild
species from which it is developed,
which is the more perfect specimen

I may be very old-fashioned, in
some ways I am, while I am looking
forward to great achievements in the
future and welcome every improve-
ment which adds scope and comfort
And happiness to the lives of the
great mass of common, everyday
people. But this T feel, that if the
parents of the present day had more
reverence in their lives, if they lived
the religion which they profess in
their own homes; if they instituted
family worship in the home, and if
they brought their clnldren up in a
more religious way, not leaving all
their religious training to the Sunday
schools, the present generation of
children would have a better chance
to turn out well than they have, The
funny paper, the radio and the, movie

Bible and the Christian training,.

"Want anything?" asked the oth-

"Er—no," gulped Mr. Tidson: "I
was just watching the dog."
"Oh!" said the big man, on a spec -
tical
note.
"Er—nice dog," Mr. Tidson men-
tioned, somewhat helplessly; "er —

"Sure," said the other, off -handed-

"I see," faltered Mr. Tidson, and
at that moment the dog brought to
light a pebble which looked very like
the hidden packet, "Ere, that's--"
"What's the game?" demanded the
other, suspiciously.
"Matter of fact, 1-1 lost some-

Mr. Tidson, not liking the look in the

There was a rustle of paper as tho

"That isn't yours," said the big
man, staring. "You said ft was a

"I—I meant pre gold watch."
"Your gold watch!" scornfully
commented the other, picking it up.
"Look 'ere, guv'uor," urged Mr.
Tidson, inspired, "at any rate it's
'elves, seeing we, was both 'ere when
the watch was found. There'll be a
big reward for it, you see. You give
me a quid for my share and--•--"
The other examined the watch and
nodded. "All right," he said, "that's
business."
He took a wallet from his pocket
and peeled' off a note from a fat little
wad.
The afternoon train was signalled
when Mr. Tidson panted up to the
booking -office. '
Single to London, please, he re-
quested, blithely, slapping down the
note.
The clerk picked it tin, looked at
it against the light. "You take this
back where you got it," he recom-
mended Mr. Tidson, "It's a bad 'un."
Mr. Tidson made bis way back to
the beach to look for the stout man.
On his way hepassed a large pri-
vate house called "Beauville " From
a lower window of it the acrobatic
old man of the morning was gazing
sourly, Mr. Tidson averted his face
and hurried on.

two authentic one -pound notes.
There was some time to spare be-
fore the evening train to town 'de-
parted from Mundringham, so Mr.
Tidson roved the sea -front, and this
time again saw the stout man.
That worthy was chatting affably
with a couple of plutocratic -looking
visitors. A close beholder might
have thought that he was trying "to
make a good impression on them,"
and the close beholder would have
been right. ,
'Can I 'ave a word with you in
private, please?!" boldly requested
Mr. Tidson.
The stottt man's expression became
a trifle perturbed. But ---"Certain-'

"Excuse me," to his companions, he
retired apart, with Mr. Tidson.

THE MILLER, OF THE DEE -
There dwelt a miller hale and bold
Beside the River Dee;
He worked and sang from morn tilt
night,
No lark more blithe than he.
And this the burden of his song
Forever used to be ---
"I envy nobody, no, not I
And nobody envies me."
"Thou'rt wrong, my friend." said old
King Hal,
"Thou'rt wrong as wrong can be;
For could my heart be light as thine,
I'd gladly change with thee,
And telt me now, what makes the
sing
With voice so loud and free,
While I am sad, though i am King,
Beside the River Dee?"
The miller smiled and doffed his caps
"I earn my bread," gouth he,
"I love my wife, I love my friend,
I love my children three;
I owe no penny 1 cannot pays,
I thank the River Dee,
That turns the dill and grinds till
corn
To feed the babes and mc"
"Good friend," said Hal, and sighed
the while,
"Farewell, and happy be; '
But say no more, if thou'dst be true,
That no man envies thee;
Thy mealy cap is worth my crown,
Thy mill my kingdom's fee;
,Such men as thou are England's`
boast,

Soon as the leaves heard the wind's
loud call,
Down they came fluttering, one and

Over the brown fields they danced
and flew,
Singing the sweet little songs they
knew.

THE DAY IS DONE
The day is done, and the darkness
Falls from the wings of night,
As a feather is wafted downward
From an eagle in his flight,
I see the lights of the village
Gleam through the rain and the
mist,
And a feeling of sadness comes o'ezt
me
That my soul cannot resist.
A feeling of sadness and longing
That is not akin to pain,
And resembles sorrow only
As the mist resmbles the rain.
Come, read to me some poem,
Some simple and heartfelt lay.
That shall soothe this restless feeling,
And banish the thoughts of day,
Not from the grand old =stets,
Not from the bards sublime,
Wbose distant footsteps echo
Through the corridors of Time.
For, like strains of martial music,
Their mighty thoughts suggest `
Life's endless toil and endeavor;
And tonight I long for rest,
Read from some humble poet,
Whose songs gushed from his heard
As showers from the clouds of sums
mer
Or tears from the eyelids start.
Who, through long days of labor,
And nights devoid ,of ease,
Still heard like the benediction
Of wonderful melodies.
Such songs have power to quiet
The restless pulse of care,
And come: like the benediction
That follows after prayer.
Then read from the treasured volumed
The poem of thy choice,
And lend to the. ,rhyme of the poet
The beauty of thy voice.:
A•nd the night shall , be filled witli?
Music,
And the cares that infest the day
Shall fold their tents, like the Arabs(,
And as silently steal away.
