A lot of moral mentors tell us theso days that you can't mould a people's character by legislation, or something like that.' Stophen Douglas used some nil eh argument with equal effect before you and : :t were born. T h o great state of Ne braska make an ambitious attempt to establish health education in the public schools by act of legislature. See. t!4lli; School Laws of Nebraska: "Provision shall be made by the proper local school authorities foil Instructing the pupils in all schools supported by public money, or under state control. In physiology and hygiene with special reference to the effects of alcoholic drinks and other stimulants and narcotics upon the human system." That specific mention of alcohol Htiagcsts the strong hand of the W. I. T. t'., and i, for one, wish 'em iirji'o power. My mother wan a member of the W. C. T. U. and It wit s a m i g h t y good thing for us kids. 111 tell the world. Still, some of the methods of education em ployed by the organisation then and now. seem questionable. One i vivid lesson the good women taught us kids somehow failed to impress the youngsters who were destined to be whipped by booze, I'luiy poured out some alcohol in a dish and touched a match to It, ami as It burned they told us beer and whiskey and wine burned the drinker's stomach just like that. Fortunately for us kids at home. Mother never tried to feed us such fairy I ales, but il was not so for tunate for other kids w ho didn't Kct the right Instruction at home. A Nebraska friend sends me tho Physiology and Hygiene syllabus of' the Normal Training Hih Schools. The outlines therein laid down for the guidance of teachers are Indeed Imposing; to my mind they nre forbidding. I'd say the courses of study for birth school teachers In Nebraska would do well enough for Professors In the to Aunt Sophie WORD PUZZLE1 lb. Mm r naii'-"! i II. Noruvglun 1.1.

Altho this Nebraska Bulletin K purports to deal with Physiology and Hygiene there is n lot of the usual filler in the syllabus, stuff about histology, psychology, path ology, bacteriology, and probably phrenology, astrology and theology j I fell asleep somewhere deep in j the chapter on Tobacco. Here and j there In the syllabus Anatomy bobs up. It would seem that the high j school normal teachers in Nebras 1 ka arc born with a sufficient j knowledge of Anatomy, just' as Tom, Dick and Harry are horn i with a clear comprehension of I what "the common cold" is. The SyllabiiH includes the famil iar old tables of average heights and weights for men and women at all ages, and a curious table giv ing tho "average normal systolic blood pressure for persons at vari ous ages. Silly-tllly business, but we must remember iho.se outlines of Inst met Ion are pre pa red by educational authorities who are generally a bit shy on health edu cation themselves. If the Nebras ka authorities are at all different from such million ties .in other other states, their official health educa- tion syllabus does not betray the ! porno n who has evaded his ques dit'ference.

Dr. , call on her weekly or oft oner for more than throe years. She feels well enough . . m. r-i : 1 1 . . . . i T moat of the time and she thinks i it unueceuuiry fur him to come every week unless she calls him. i But he insists if He can't comg l regularly tpry week he will not come at all, and that a telepbone call will not bring him If mother once refuties to receive his visit. This worries her . . . (Mrs. S. 33.) Answer, You give no hint as .to Wiut, if anything,-aila mother. If the doctor Ik unwilling- to explain to you why he. should attend your mother regularly,. why not firo him and employ a physician who Is lens mysterious? There are still too many old quacks in our profession who work the changes on trusting patients, "visiting chronics," as some of them call it. Softening of the lirniu Please explain what Is softening of the brain? What causes it? Is it hereditary? Do any except elderly people ever have It? (M. I. H.) Antswer. "Softening of the brain" in a term commonly applied to paresis, general paralysis of the Insane, which is in most cases a late effect of syphillis. This devel ops in middle life, sometimes In early adult life, it is not heredlt tary. Then there is a different condition which doctors formerly called "softening of the brain." namely, clotting of blood in the brain substance, a condition akin to a stroke of paralysis from apo plexy .(cerebral hemorrhage). This most commonly occurs in elderly persons and is an accidental result of ordinary arteriosclerosis ( har dening. qf tlio apterloH). This cere bral thrombosis (clotting) is not hereditary, unless you assume that premature hardening of the arter ies runs in families. I do not be lieve HO. Child Manifests Psychotic or Neurotic Trait My son nged H years, eats the excretion from his nose. Ve have to keep stockings on his hands at l night . . . (Mrs. c. K. 11.) Answer. -Better p-ut his arms in cuffs such as nre used to keejv children from biting their nails ot' sucking their thumbs. The habit is rather a manifestation of pre disposition to mental or nervouw abnormality. Why not consult :t good psychiatrist whom your fam ily doctor recommends, about tho re and tniining of the child? Silver Stains Lately my silverware turns brown whenever my skin touches it . . . T. O. A.) Answer. Normal sweat and sebum rontains sulphur com pounds which react with silver to form a brown or black sulphide of silver. This explains the stain ing of the skin by good gold jew elry (either silver or other matal in good alloys). I know of no remedy, except to change to othei ware. SANTA CLACS ,By Alice JuoSoii IVale AloriV Tvith fairies, witches and giants poor Santa , Claus is )y,W storhTly ruled out "of -the-lives of many modern children. ,Tho Idea Is that children should be told nothing but the truth. ' . There is, of course, much to b said in favor of telling children only the truth. It helps them to learn early the distinction between fact and fancy, between truth and falsehood. These are sound arguments foii telling the truth about even so pleasant a fancy as that of Santa and his toy shop located vaguely either In heaven or at the north pole. Hut is the literal truth always necessary ? Must the distinction between fact and fancy be made mercilessly clear to every child about everything whether ho likes it or not? Certainly when a child quite definitely asks for the truth on any subject, it cannot be withheld ! without shaking his faith in the They enjoy animal stories and fairy tales without for one moment trout) ing themselves as to their truthfulness. Onlv thnui fintiniid nro hnrmfnl which later cause feelings of guilt should have the nleasure of he 1 lev- ilng in Santa liaus until such 'a llQ WHl unucrsianu mat men ne- eeption was all part of a scheme for giving him pleasure while he was yet a small child a year or more ago.
