Why Children Don't Obey

OBEDIENCE is the foundation of character. Yet how

many parents discover constantly that their instructions to their children carry no farther than around the corner. And wilfulness, selfishness, jealousy, disrespect, untruthfulness, ill-temper and many other unpleasant qualities are directly related to that first great fault of disobedience.

New Methods for Old

Until now, scolding and whipping seem to have been about the parents' only methods. But new methods have been discovered which make it easy to train children to obey promptly, pleasantly and surely without breaking

[merged small][merged small][ocr errors][merged small][merged small][merged small]

the child's will, without creating fear, resentment or revenge in the child's heart, as whipping does. This new method Is based on confidence. When perfect understanding and sympathy exist, obedi ence comes naturally and all the bad traits that children pick up so easily are not given a chance to develop.

Highest Endorsements

This new system, which has been put into the form of an Illustrated Course, prepared especial y for the busy parent, is producing remarkable and immediate resul's for thousands of parents in all parts of the world, and is endorsed by leading educators. It covers all ages from cradle to eighteen years.

Free Book

"New Methods in Child Training" Is the title of a startling book which describes this new system and outlines the work of the Parents Association. Send letter or postal today and the book will be sent free-but do it now as this announcement may never come to your notice again. THE PARENTS ASSOCIATION, Dept. 111 Pleasant Hill, Ohio.

Five New Ways

To whiter, cleaner, safer teeth-all late discoveries

Dental science has been seeking ways to better tooth protection.

All old methods proved inadequate. Tooth troubles were constantly increasing. Very few escaped them. Beautiful teeth were seen less often than now.

Dental research found the causes, then evolved five new ways to correct them.

The chief enemy

The chief tooth enemy was found to be film-that viscous film you feel. It clings to teeth, enters crevices and stays.

Food stains, etc., discolor it. Then it forms dingy coats. Tartar is based on film. Most teeth are thus clouded more or less.

Film also holds food substance which ferments and forms acids. It holds the acids in contact with the teeth to cause decay. Germs breed by millions in it. They, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea.

[blocks in formation]

They were embodied in a tooth paste called Pepsodent, and dentists the world over began to urge its use.

Other essentials

Other effects were found necessary, and ways were discovered to bring them. All are now embodied in Pepsodent.

Pepsodent stimulates the salivary flowNature's great tooth-protector.

It multiplies the alkalinity of the saliva. That is there to neutralize mouth acids, the cause of tooth decay.

It multiplies the starch digestant in the saliva. That is there to digest starch deposits on teeth which may otherwise ferment and form acids.

It polishes teeth so film less easily adheres. Prettier teeth came to millions

One result is prettier teeth. You see them everywhere-teeth you envy, maybe. But that is only a sign of cleaner, safer teeth. Film-coats, acids and deposits are effectively combated.

Send the coupon for a 10-Day Tube. Note how clean the teeth feel after using. Mark the absence of the viscous film. See how teeth whiten as the film-coats disappear. Cut out the coupon now.

THOUSAND people killed by vehi

cles in the streets of New York in a year!" a subscriber exclaims. "The remedy is simple. Let every driver of a vehicle-street car, truck, or automobile-be compelled to slow down to three miles an hour at every near crossing and keep that speed till he passes the far crossing of every street, no matter what the traffic conditions-and the thing is half done. Let pedestrians strictly avoid jay-walking-and it is complete. As it is now, automobiles whizz across every side street at any speed they please, whether people are crossing or not. Let a few offenders, of either class, auto-drivers or walkers, get jail sentences for violating these provisions and you will have a great diminution of accidents." Cops who have the job of keeping the traffic moving might not wholly approve of this three-mile idea.

"When it comes to the corruptions of a baseball umpire," says Uncle Henry in "Colliers," "there's where the splendid rage of an oppressed people breaks forth. I've seen the air so full of pop bottles that they looked like a glass roof. Lots of people think baseball an easy game, but I don't know of anything that's got a more subtle technique. Unless you catch the bottle by the neck, an' put a quick wrist snap into the throw, it won't go any distance at all. . . . I don't know any other sport where 50,000 can take part, an' a leadin' part at that:

Mr. Shaw followed up this compliment by complaining of the great difficulty of getting actors to speak as he wanted them to speak, and said it should be possible for an author to write a scrip in English that conveys to the actor as much as a scrip by Wagner conveys to a musician.
