BUDi THOUGHTS FROM THE EDITORIAL PEW.
SKBMOX TOR PABKNT8.
The following sermon that ap
red in one of our exohangea ia
orthy of oareful reading. It said
Ihief Behrendt, of Lanaing, Mich.,
tased aome tongue wagging at the
ii>w-wow of polioe chiefs in Waah
agtnn the other day when he said
hat if the motbera ot the oountry
iaid more attention to their daugh
er* there would be (ewer women in
he underworld.
As the twig ig bent the tree is in
'lined. What is your theory of
wig-bending?
Once on a time there was a par
ent who believed the way to' rear
children wu to rule them by (ear.
.
The pet weapon of discipline in that
home was tbe lath with r nail in it.
When a young one did something
.hat tbe parent didn't like, out oame
the lath and there were tbreata of
awful punishment.
Result:
One ebild, a daughter, ran away
with a good-for-nothing.
One boy became a "souse."
Another son got away from home
as soon as be could and under the
guidinoe of a friendly oaole, beoarae
a fair aort of a man.
The lath and nail policy didn't
score a single victory.
Yon have no doubt met mothers
who are always fibbing to their off
spring. If they're going to spend
an evening out they don't say so
frankly; but they try to make the
little ones believe that their absence
is only for a moment, only while they
go "around the corner."
How does thin policy work? Isn't
it tine that in the majority of cases
the children find one that mother did
not tell the truth and decide that if
mother can fib, they can too.
They again, there is the polioy of
"over fondness, of spoiling indulgence.
You know what that produces, chil
dren selfish and self-willed, nuisanoes
when young and quite likely to be
come rascals and menaces when
grown up.
Just about as bad judged by re
sults, is tbe policy of continual nag
ging; of "don't do this" and "don't
do that" ? don'ts multiplied so habit
ually that noDe ot them have any
meaning and the only oonsequence
is the break down of parental disci
pline. For children, like older folks,
lose respect for eternal naggers and
fault finders. Can you blame them?
Chief Behrendt does a timely ser
vice in putting a whole lot of the
responsibility for girls' wrong doing
on careless and incapable mothers.
The host of flirty young ships on
every city street during the summer
evening, most all of them bedaubed
with paint and powder and reckless
in pursuit of the mythical "good
time," offer living proofs that many
mothers are shirking their jobs.
We don't know that we have a
patent prescription for bringing up
children. It is pretty much an in
dividual problem.
Bat if yon think back to what yon
liked best in your own childhood
and apply its lesson to yonr own
children we ttness you won't be like
ly to go very far wrong. Yon liked
kindness and hopefulness and appeals
to yonr honest best, didn't yon? And
down in your heart you pretty gen.
erally knew that, however much it
hurt, a punishment given sadly but
firmly for a misdeed for which you
had been fully warned was not only
deserved, but also a means of adding
to your respect for the trusted, one
who administered it.
Well, there's a tip.
? ?
? rmr cnra away oou>? hours.
Oyr young people must be taught
that "all is not gold that glitters,"
and "thaffine dregs does not make
the man or woman." We mast be
gin right if we expect to rear our
children up to contentment and hap
piness. Teach them to be industri
ous and not idle away their life.
There are so' many yonng people to
day that are living only in the pres
ent, dancing away golden hours,
when they should be thinking, study
ing and working. Girls should be
taught how to manage and keep
house while with mother. As she
grows older, let the mantle gradual,
ly fall from mother's (boulders on
to hers, and when she is oalleu to a
home of her own she will not feel-M
a loss. She wtf know how and
whereto begin! We know there are
mothera now toiling ta keep grown
gills from work when they are able
and would willingly do it, had they
not been brought up with the idea
instilled into their heads that yoang
ladies must not mar their beauty by
work. A girl can never have a bet.
ter chance to show off her oharms
than by presiding over ihe home. A
mother should teach her daughter
that her place, when not at school,
is at her mother's side, helping her
provide comforts for the family, not
in reading novels and riding bicycles.
When our girls are bi ought up to
be industrious, sensible women we
will hear less complaint ot having to
work hard, and less complaint of
their husbands. If a man is poor he
is obliged to work hard to supply his
family with substantial food and
clothing, and if his wife is a true
woman she will be his helpmate and
the world will hear no complaint.
Who Vzys Taxes
To Keep This
Town Goin??
By HOLLAND.
WHEN a new bridge Is
needed, a road must be
repaired, a courthouse is to
be built, where does the mon
ey come from? Do the mall
order houses pay it? Hardly.
They will uot even send a
contribution to help buy a
bell for the new church or
to help n Fourth of July cele
bration. They pay no taxes
in this town, and they are
not concerned in its prosper
ity.
This town must be support
ed by its residents and those
who live in the immediate
vicinity. If they Insist on
seudlng their money away
then they arc helping to kill
their town, nnd they are mak
ing It harder for them to pay
the tuxes necessary to main
tain local govern rnenr and to
make local Improvements.
You owe something to your
self. :ind you owe something
to your neighl>ors. You can
help yourself by helping your
neighbors. You can't injure
your neighbors without Injur

DON'T TAKE THE
WRONG MEDICINE
If Your Liver Gets Lazy You|
Need a Liver Tonic, Not
Merely a Laxative
For the Bowels
Many people take a simple laxative
when their liver -gets sluggish rather
than take calomel, which they know
to be dangerous. But a mere laxative
will not start a sluggish liver. What is
needed is a tonic that will liven up the
liver without forcing you to stay at
home and lose a day from yoar busi
ness.
Vou have such a tonic in Podson's
Liver Tone. Dodson's Liver Tone must
be all they claim for it because they
guarantee it to take the place of dan
gerous calomel and agree to hand back
the money with a smile to any person
who tries Dodson's Liver Tone and is
not satisfied with the relief it gives.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a harmless
vegetable liquid with a pleasant taste,
and is a prompt .and reliable remedy
for constipation, biliousness, sour stom
ach, and the other troubles that come
from a torpid liver.
Godfrey-Egertan Drug Co., give It
their personal guarantee and if vou will
ask about this guarantee vou will pro
tect yourself against imitations that are
not guaranteed. Large bottle of Dod
son'B Liver Tone is 50 cents.
