But whatever the correction may be they want it given to them alone and not before even one other person. Trying Task. Reproving children in public is a task that brings difficulties with it to par- ents, for they, too, are aware that their actions will be judged and this makes them self-conscious. Often they, as well as the chiliren, appear to a dis- advantage. Therefore administering re- proof to children before others is de- cldedly unwis It is not difficult to recognize children that are guided wisely by their parents, they mind quickly and have a re- t for authority.

To ridicule children before others is a little short of torture to their sensi- tive natures. I know of one mother who ridiculed one little lad continu- ally. The result was that when he was not more than seven years old he and his mother were no longer chums. He shunned her company when others were around and always acted in a silly and rather disagreeable way when with her at such times. He w fast losing that true respect for parental authority that is built up on understanding coupled with love. Kindly Guidance. Another instance comes to mind of a child who never was reproved be- fore others. He was full of cnergy 1d actlvity, but was at perfect ease with his parents and with others. He seemed to know just when to be quiet and when to be boisterous. He was companionable with adults and a good chum with other children. You in- stinctively realized that his training was a matter of caraful consideration, that the lad was permitted freedom to express his ideas without censure and that his thoughts were being trained by good guidance into the right chan- nels. At first glance this matter of re- proving children before others may not appear of vital importance, but when it means the loss of compan- fonship, the loss of parental respect and the bullding of a barrier between children and parents its avoidance is one of the essentials in the upbring- 18 of childrer BEDTIME STORIE Happy Jack's Thrift.

Of course you caa't under- stand it because you don't know the meaning of thrift. Only those who are truly thrifty understand what real thrift is. It is true that I have plenty of food in my storehouse, but while I can find food outside of that storehouse I don't touch the food that is in it. Then I know that I've always got it. Then I know that if the Winter should be extra long there will be nothing to worry about. ‘When I can’t find anything outside it is time to take food from the store- house. But the truly thrifty never use up what they have when they can find more. It is only the laz and thriftless who would do that.” “Huh!" sniffed Peter. “If I had a storehouse full of food I wouldn't Of course you have admired new, colorful screens the shops showing.

Dively, Kansas Clty orthopedic surgeon, reports that 49 of the 148 cases of anterior polio- myelitis (Infantile paralysis) he studied in the epidemic in Kansas last Summer and Autumn occurred in To- kepu. The remaining 99 cases radi- ated out from Topeka along the main highways. This suggests how infan- tile paralysis is spread. Ninety-three of the 148 cases were in ma 55 were in females. Most of the cases occurred in August. Eleven patlents were under a year were under 2 years old, 22 were 3 years old; 7,,4 vears; 11, 5 years; 9, 6 years, and so on up to the age of 1 patients; between 15 and patients, and be- tween 2 vears of age, 9 patients. The death rate was 8.7 per cent. High fever was noted the first day in 90 per cent of cases; stomach and intestinal upset the first day In 15 per_cent of cases; severe headache in per cent, usually on the first day; pain and stiffness in the back of the neck in 54 per cent of cases, but generally not until the second or third day of {llness; general mus- cular soreness in 58 per cent of cases, but not until the third, fourth or fitth day of flln sore throat in 20 per cent of cases, usually tne first or_second day of illnes The acute illness, the fever stage, lasted from six to 10 days, as a rule; two or three davs in some cases, s long as thres weeks in one nd 40 only one case reported in this epidemic did the paralysis occur with- | out this prelinfinary fever stage.

The legs only were paralyzed in 27 per cent of cases; both legs, 13 per cent, and only one leg in 7 per cent of cases. The upper extremitics alone were paralyzed in 6 per cent of cases. An arm and a leg on the same side were aftected in 11 per cent of cases. After a yvear of treatment the re- sults were: Complete recovery ip 21 per cent of cases, good recovery in 32 per cent, fair recovery in 37 per cent and siight recovery in 10 per cent of the cases treated. Proper treatment was not had in all cases and no treatment at all in 26 per cent. Good treatment was given 26 per cent of the cases and only fair treatment in 48 per cent. Dr. Dively says that there probably exist during an epidemic definite poliomyelitis carriers. He has records of persons in several communities who visited varfous families in which poliomyelitis soon afterward devel- oped, the visitor being the only possi- ble source of infectlon. He believes most persons in the community where poliomyelitis is epidemic have the disease in a light abortive form, for in nearly all records “colds.” snuffles or sore throat were reported in most of the other members of the imme- diate family of the patient. It seems to Dr. Dively that the diseasa is selec- ‘These family names, though found to some extent In Ireland as well, are of Scottish origin, though the glven name from which they were developed came originally from Ire- land.
