Wo thought this dialogue might do
what the golf pultor failed to do,
but fur from It, through it all the
Hrltish war veteran Black to his

However, it may have boon just

ho might have put on full steam

now where that unfortunate tour

There was another compensa
tion. Having had a fine night's
sleeii tho Mritlsh hero arose early
before wo left Phoenix on the
second lap so your correspondent
fell asleep and didn't, awake until
Jl: ItO. Looking out of tho window
It was still raining, and tho train
had slopped at a station marked
"Hoi. Springs .1 unction." Shade;
of old Doctor K the famous match
box navigalor that was where we
motored one late afternoon three
or four years iago, that on the
Santa Fe about 10 miles north of
Phoenix Instead of west. In the
wash room It was ull explained by
a man in Ills undershirt, his face
covered with lather. The Apache
was being dotoured over the Santa
Fo via Cadiz along with all other
transcontinental S, P. trains, aud
tho company would send wires to
neatest relatives I'ree of charge.

ho had caught a slight cold nnd
blew his noso quite effectively on

asked him casually If ho had ever

It was one of tho many dislllii

tho wise parent will decline tu
have any. 1 speak only tho truth
ami no honest or well Informed
physician will deny It, when 1 say
that thousands of children have
been subject oil to such adenoid
and tonsil operations for no good
reason at all, but Just because
some tin doctor has thought It
neeessMry. Indeed I have seen tho
wholesale operators in such clinics
turn from one operation to tho
next, tho luckless victim being
wheeled In already under anesthe
sia, and tho operator learning
from the nurse who horded the
youngsters In, that the next Is
"another tonsil and adenoid. Doc
tor," A snd state of medical af
fairs, but that's aho way the clinic
game and the tin doctor business
works.
In childhood tho tonsils nnd
adenoid body are normally large.
To the amateur tho tonsils of a
healthy youngster look "enlarged."
What If tonsils and adenoids tiro
large ? No hnrm In that, and no
menace to tho child's health. It Is
only when these structures aro so
large as to cause obstruction
symptoms that any t real men t is
ad visa hie. Moiilh breathing may
he. but usually Is not one of the
ohst ruction symptoms. Adenoids
and enlarged tonsils aro less fre

development of the teeth and jaws

rhinitis.

WTHTK MRS
By Alice tludsou I'cale.
Parents often make tho moral
training of their children unneces
sarily difficult by emphasizing is
sues of abstract right and wrong.
Nothing, for Instance, is more con
fusing to thV child than to be told
repeatedly that lying Is wicked.
lie hears mother give a lying
excuse to the lady who is inviting
her for dinner, lie hoars father
tell his aunt how much he liked
the red necktie she gave him for
Christmas when he known that
father has always disliked that
particular color.
To add to his confusion ho finds
that he Is apt tu be punished for
telling tlie truth at the wrong mo
ment, lie remembers how he was
scolded for innocently saying to the
lady visitor that who must bo very
uld for he hoard father say she
would never see 10 again.
Instead of telling a child that U
is always wicked to lie, it is much
better to let him learn that truth
fulness in desirable generally he
cause it makes it easier for people
to get along if they know that they
can rely upon each other. "Wc
can rely upon the child properly to
evaluate truthfulness if our own
conduct In truth telling Is above
reproach. .
At the jame time that ho learns
that It la generally good 1o tell the
truth, he can learn also that we do
not tell the truth when it will mako
s o in e o n e unnecessarily unhappy,!
that it is often perhaps better to,
evade than to answer a direct quos-l
tion truthfully.
'tiuoh training cultivate the spirit
of truth telling, while It offers an
explanation of those incousisten-;
cies in the conduct of his elders
which must inevitably attract the'
attention of even tho lcat;t observ
ant child.

there should not be an equal dis
tribution of such an enforcement,
whereby all Its employees would
bo treated alike and the burden
not carried by the above men
tioned, who certainly are no more
able to bear It than tho others?
Wc moan, for Instance, tho of
fice employees, many of whom
arc unmarried, and all others who
draw full wages during this pe
riod of depression.
Although they know nothing
about It, evidently, from experi
ence as they are Immune. AVe
believe tu any law or enforce
ment that treats every one alike,
but believe It unfair to Compel
the tailoring man to ride the goat,
while the swivel" chair and high
collar employee rides In the auto.
Why not an -economy budirct
that treats us all alike ami evenly
dislrihut-s a burden we should nil
be willing to share?
Would ll not be more fair?

they said it would

It reminded John and Peggy of
the times when they had asked
their mother If they could have
friends stay for supper.
John and Peggy were eager tu
.-lay and the :l,ittle llilack Clock
thought it would bo fun. too.
They wondered what they would
have for supper. It turned nut to
be a delicious, supper not unlike
tin- kind of meals they had back
in the world.
When John and Peggy were eat
ing the lee cream for dessert one
of the Months said:
"We have food such as you have
In your part of the world, and
i-ometimes such as people have In
other parts' of the world, -but our
food is always like the food r
world iieuple.
"That Is because we aro around
in tho world so much that wc get
into world habits and cat .world
food,
"I'ut now we ' must have a con
cert for you. Wc all want to per
form a little."
John looked at the. T.Ittle Hlack
Clock and so did Peggy, and the
Clock smiled and said: "We'd be
delighted to stay." . '
