H There is often & very good reason | why a doctor falls to help your child when called in unespectedly for the correction of #oine trouble with the | diet; or for a sudden, but indetermi- | nate, ilness. Morhers are so flustered | at the appearance of a doctor that! they seem incapable of giving him uny facts about the child that will be helpful. They ulso fail to remember | what the doctor telis them to do and | then afterward they assert that they | had & “doctor” and he dldut do u thing for the child. Often a child is 50 spoiled that when i« stranger comes near him he sereams and cries, refuses to he examined. and the doc- tor s helpiess. When vour child becomes ill and | feverish und you feel he needs a doe- tor, tuke some uccount of his condi- tion and write it down. 1If he has a temperature and you can read a clin- ical thermometer, note the tempera- ture us well s the bowel movements, | Put down exactly what the child had to eat that day and the previous day. Don't forget if he overate of any one food. Take note of any unusual things. Did he fall to take his regu- lar naps? Did he cry more than Was he restless and frrita- Did he vomit? Each and every one of these small symptoms will help the doctor {n coming to some definite conclusion. and will help him in treating the child. After all, a doc- tend to | tor is trained to diagnose an {llness by signs which Indicate certain con- ditlons: he is not clairvoyant or a, mirucle worker. Suggest (o the child Lefore the doc- | tor arrives that he is coming to see him: that he is nice: that he, the child, must help the doctor to find out what is wrong with him and make him well. All children should, early in life, be taught to show their throats freely and to submit to ex- amination. Playing that the mother is the doctor and making a game of these things will rid them of any frightening significance, and when the doctor does need to be called in the child will enter into the examl- nation in the spirit of a game, and will greatly aid himself by helping the doctor. WINTER BY D. C. PEATTIE. | | Feeding the Birds. As T write, sitting close to my south window, I can see in a little oak not 4 feet away a handsome little fleld sparrow merrily pecking away at a large chunk of suet. He has been busily breakfasting for 15 minutes without making uny real inroads upon the suet. In the course of a day one may see there juncos, rose-breasted grosbeaks. cardinal birds, bluebirds, bluejays, nuthatches, chipping spar- rows. white-throat = sparrows and many more. There is nothing few like offering a hospitable inducements to the birds to collect the tribe of feath- ered frlends about you. I am go fortunate as to live in the woods. But even when I have lived in a city apartment T have found that a little suet tied to the rafling of the back porch would attract more birds than 1 ever tmagined could be found in the crowded sections of a great city. The suet. which T got weeks ago from the butcher. cost me exactly 5 cents. I have had $25 worth of pleasure wnu‘:hlng the birds that came to feed on ft. It does not have to be explained to anybody that Winter is hard times for bird as well as man. The pickings at this time of year are pretty slim. And now that the snow covers the ground. no dinner for th- birds is to be sought under old |leaves. The least one cun do in common pity is to toss out your stale brexd crumbs on the snow. — .

He is just like all of the other young people I know- thoughtless und careless and selfish to the mothers who would dle for them. What do you think ubout it? MRS, E. F. G. Answer: 1 think that when a mother falls to receive any consideratio: from her children, it is far more her fault than it is the children’s. They are treating her just exuctly as she hay tuught themn to treat ber and it isnt talr to blame them for it. Al children are litUe savages. They ure greedy little animals that jusi naturally grab the hest they can get for themselves and think only of thei own pleasure and comfort and gratifying their own desires. They have to be taught the decencles of life, they have to be taught manners and morals and regard for other people’s rights and to play fah and sprak the truth and keep clean und how to eat properly and all of the other milllon things that turn them Into civilized human beings and make it possible for them to get along with their fellow creutures. Aud while they are being taught all the other amenities of life by thef; mothers, nother could just as well drill it into their youthful minds the they owe some courtesy and duties to her and thal they must make som' return to her for all the sacrifices she makes for then. Occasionally & mother does have Intelligence and backbone enough to de this, and then we are treated to the rare and beautiful spectacle of seeing children treat their mother as If she were a gueen. of chil who hush se durlng mother's rest hour, of half-grown girls and boys who defe; to mother's opinions and think her incarnate wisdon, of grown-up glrls anc Loys who are as proud as Punch to show mother off and introduce her tc their friends. and of married sons and duughters who never forget mother's birthday or fail to write her long and loving letters. Mother writes her own price tag for her children. If she demand respect and wdmiration from them, she gets it. If from their infancy uj they have been taught to consider her and to do things for her, they ne ueglect her. But if she mukes herself a doormat for them to walk on, the; just naturally trample her underfoot-—not because they are callous or unkinu The children who see mother always eating the neck of the chicken anc the tough end of the steak, while they get the good meut, don't realize the she is sacriticing herself for them. They think that she has a morbid appetite for bones and gristle. The children who see mother always shabby, whilc they have fine clothes, don’t appreciate that she is doing without the pretty things mhe loves so that they may he dressed as well as thelr companions They are merely ashamed of her for looking sv dowdy and they would think @ thousand times niore of her and admire and respect her more If she would make & fair divide and force them to make some of the sacrifices instead oi making them all herself. So it is the mother's fault if her children don't treat her with considera Tt is becuuse she hasn't taught ther She has taught them iiness, she his taught them that she didn't count. und she hasn't any ght to complain of the results.

They lack knowledge of the world, knowledge of life, knowledge of their own natures. They do not know what they are going o be them. selves, still less what they will require of a hushand or wife. By far the larger number of divorces are granted to young people or people who married when they were very young and who have grown apart. People who marry later in life. when they are mature and are able to judge the kind of husbands and wives they want and after they have had Their fling and are ready to settle down, are very apt to make a success of marrisge.

They are carried also in sizes | from 4 to 12 years of age, but older boys regard them as “sissy-tike.” They are like the skeleton waist except that they consist of a solild walst in- stead of just the straps. Boys prefer the skeleton waist for another reason. It looks like th> regular suspenders their fathers wear. Among the things to look for in suspenders is a wide web, because of its added comfort, and strength. Some mothers favor suspenders with double | grips; or walsts which are so made that no metal can touch the hody. Some pantie waists are made without metal buttons so that they can be washed without rust stains appearing. The quality of the web is also of Im- portance. There are other features which are attractive to some. If sus- penders fasten with a snap they are easily put on or taken off, while but- tons do come loose, and are lost. Suspenders. 1t you were living in Europe you would soon come to think of the belt as an American contrivance, because few Luropeans, young or old, wear belts. But young boys wear sus- penders for two reasons—they sup- port their trousers and their stock- Ings. OMer'boys wear the kind of sus- penders their fathers wear, and thelr needs are easily attended to. As a matter of fact, few oldet boys In citles llke to ‘wear suspenders be- cause they see them mostly on old men. Still the custom tallors declare that trousers can only hang right when they are supported by sus- pen: S. Younger bove wear suspender braces. These consist of a sort of skeleton walist, which has garters at- tached for the stockings, and a belt to which the trousers can be but- toned. This is & very convenient way of dressing the young boy and it as- sures neatness. The garters should not be drawn too tightly or the boy will tend to slouch In his walk. This_style comes only In sizes for boys, 6, 8 10, 12 and 14 years. Of course, the braces can usually be ad- justed, and the sizes aren't inflexible. The best way to buy them is to try them on the child in the store, and make certain that they are wide and long enough. Sizes vary, and some children are big for their size, too.

He musi meet a certain amount of resistance Jte call out effort enough to make his | attempts register. \Without resist- unce there can be no effort to amount to anything and without effort ther is no real growth.
