Declares ‘Woman' Lecturer, ‘@hould: Never iBe Resorted to in (Garrecting, Unruly; Children. A woman is lecturing in the Bast: on “The Influence of Joy.” It is-alsol tack on;the jinfluence of pain, ‘which .parents so fauch resort to in 6. management ot children.. She de- ‘Clares, according’ to the Ohio State Journal, that pain should never be re- sorted to to make children good, and, hence, she adyises that all spankings and whippings should be _eliminated. There is nothing in pain to recond struct a child. Joy is the only medlumn that should be used. Make a child} happy, instead of sad, 18 the gospel of child training.

The famillar condition in which.one 'wakes up in the morning, efter a good night's rest, with a dry mouth, spirits depressed, feeling tired, aching all over, was explained by Dr. Nathan Rosqaterot Cleveland In the course of &, discussion at -a recent meeting of the Amvrican Medical assocjation. He:sald such a person will go ahead and o a hard-day's ‘work and feel betten as the hours pass, until in the evenlug all signs of trouble have gone. Such a person often had severe pains t|in the abdomen, -the muscles of which were: extremely sensitive; but the || more: they were pressed the less sensi- tive they became. This condition is not, as otten be- lieved, due.to-intestinal toxaemia, or poisoning of the blood by the products {|ot impertectly digested food, but to the pressure of too much purin in the system. Wlun the foods -that are rich in purins are given up the sufferers rap- idly improve. They were never really fatigued, their symptoms being merely . slmulatlon of fatigue. 3 i § Auguste Rodin. 4 A keener Interest in more and more aspects of humanity, a readiness’ to find more and more kinds of men and women worthy of plastic representa-| tion,: 8 preference for expressiveness ‘to traditional beauty, a love of life becanse it is life—by these tokens wel may know Rodin for a modern of the: imoderns in his day, who made the, splrit of his time incarnate in marblej and bronze. Like every artist who be- gins by outraging our love of the fam!| he ended by forcing some of us t vise our definition of beauty, says New ‘Republle. Even those who mt passionately deny that his beauty* ‘is beauty can never see quite as they would have seen if Rodin had’ not lived.

Those Wrappings of nobleness hid something from us. Was it truth? It Can't Be Done. Few know better than Vincent Tas oor the utter absurdity of trying to please the women of today. From evi- dence presented in the Court of' Do- !|mestic Relations, writes. a:New York correspondent, it appears that he has’ at no time tried it, but the demands made by his wife have convinced him that there would be no-hope anyway. The matter in conslderation was a means to keep Mr. Tabor at work, a means to force him to provide $8 a weelk;or his wife's support and a to terminate his desperate to drink a harried world dry. ‘3udge, nothin’ can be done,” ad- mitted’ the somewhat tearful defend- ant, “as long as yuh can’t make money enough to satisfy-all the hightalutin’ ideas’of the women.
