POWER OF JOY RULES WORLD
Pain, Declares Woman Lecturer,
Shcutd Never Be Resorted to In
Corrocting Unruly Children.
A woman la lecturing in the East
on "The Influence of Joy." It la also
an attack on the Influence of pain,
which parents so much resort to In
the management of children. She de
clares, according to the Ohio State
Journal, that pain should never bo re
sorted to to make children good. nnd.
hence, she advises that all spankings
and whippings should be eliminated.
There Is nothing In pain to recon
struct a child. Joy Is the only medium
that should he used. Make a child
happy. Instead of sad. Is the goapel
of child tsalslag. The power that
lived, moved and ruled the world, the
said, waa the power of Joy; and this
was the Influence the parent shonld
use In Mining the child. This Is not
the way of parents. The rule Is to
whip the child to make him good. It
cannot result that way. A kind word
and n gentle association are far more
powerful than a rod or any other
method for uroducing Morrow or paiu.
The other day we heard a mother
shout to a little hoy: “I'll skin you
alive!" That Is enough to make a
worse boy out of a had one.
The “mild power wins” Is an old
adage and every parent should take
It to heart.

It Can't Be Done.
Few know better than Vlnceiit Tu
bor the utter absurdity of trying to
please the women of today. From evl
deuce presented in the Court of Do

correspondent, it appears that he has
at no time tried it. hut the demands
made by his wife have convinced him
that there would be no hope nnyway.
The matter in consideration was a
means to keep Mr. Tabor at work, a
means to force him to provide $8 a

means to . termluule Ills desperate

To Induce 8leep.
When trying to induce sleep It Is
well, observes an authority, to put
iway all serious thoughts and try to
get the mind into a pleasant, elevated
state. Some people make a habit of
reading before retiring, but too often
one reads on until eyes and head ache.
As a result the following morning the
eyes ass bloodshot and bulging from
the overstrain and the individual has
lost the necessary amount, of rest be
cause of this enforced strain. It Is
roost Important that the ventilation of
the sleeping apartment be attended to;
that there ts clear, fresh air circulat

put on the prohibition. An investiga
