MOTHERS YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE
FOR YOUR CHILD'S TRAINING.
.Mothers you are of two classes, thoBe
o have preconveived Ideas as to how
to bring up their children and won't
; irn, and those who have no ideas, and
can't learn. Mothers will probably not
all agree to this sweeping statement.

several who are true mothers
in every sense of the word, but look
fact squarely In the face, we must
admit there are few such examples.
The majority of mothers are ignorant of
the important subject of child training.
The most characteristic thing about
children is their power of imitation, and
this- power can be made to serve both a
desirable and undesirable end. Few of
us realize the extent to which this practice
is carried by the average child.
There are undefined promptings which
urge him to imitate the acts committed
by those around him, and even the
words they speak. Iln case of the tiny
baby thiB imitation is unconscious, but,
linally it is performed consciously. The
importance of children's surroundings
will at once be seen, since they must imitate
it is important that they should see
and hear only things worthy of imitation;
herein lies a great difficulty. Few
people can comprehend that what they
say and do in the presence of their children
can have any effect on the charPoor,

acter of their children. "The child 1$
too young to take It in," they say.
Mothers, are you not startled and em.
barrassed when your youngsters repeat
your very words in the presence
of strangers? The truth Is children
comprehend more than we know. Your
sayings may lie dormant for sometime
before they are able to give them out.
We should study our children and
what Is best for them, and the moulding
of their characters. How often do we
hear mothers say, "HI be glad when
school begins and the children sr. in
ouuuui. Motners is this your feeling
towards your child (Glad to get rid
of it). Children arc the direct means of
u>?: highest happiness to parents. They
are also a mean-* ot Improvement. The
question is often asked, "How soon
should the education of the child begin?"
We realize that the education
of the human being begins at birth, and
continues through life. The real teaching
begins as soon as they lisp "Daddy."
Children should be taught that no
amount of cryng and misbehaving will
bring the coveted object.
A child who has been indulged once
by a thoughtless mother will try the
same at another time. Children learn
quickly to connect cause and effect.
They soon learn crying will bring the
coveted object. Never say no and then
say yes. Few mothers realize the harm
done their child by the unwise lowering
of parental authority. There are no
two children in a family alike, so let us
Btudy them that our decision may be
juBt. An unjust decision often does
much harm to the child. One of the sadest
things for parent is the loss of faith.
This only comes through the child's
knowledge that our decisions are unjust.
Mothers, we should be the standard
of right in the eyes of our children.
1 have seen mothers prepare food for
their little ones and when they would
refuse to partako of it, would make
them eat It or do without. We should
bave respect for our children's desires,
they have their like and dislikes as well
as adults and should not be compelled
Lo uBe food they dislike. We frequently
hear mothers scold their children for
asking questions. All questions put by
children should bo clearly answered,
and the nature of surrounding objects
explained to them correctly. Much
knowledge may be communicated to the
child by an Intelligent mother. Children
Bhould be treated with kindness, and all
corporal chastlsment avoided until
reason is developed. "Spare the rod
and spoil the child" is now an obsolete
maxim. "Moral management is preferred
by all enlightened individuals.
When correction is necessary it should
bo Inflicted with regret and gentleness,
and never with a display of anger.

It is impossible to be well, simply impossible, if the bowels are constipated.
Waste products poisonous substances, must be removed
from the body at least once each day, or there will be trouble.
Ask your doctor about Ayer's Pills, gently laxative, all vegetable.
