“FEED BEANS TO CHILDREN”

Boston Physician Also Thinks Corporal Punishment Good If Necessary. Boston, Mass.—" Feed the children Boston baked beans if they like them." “Administer corporal punishment If necessary.” “Let them go barefoot." These are some of the suggestions given by Dr. Charles Putnam to mothers through an address at the Harvard Medical school. "Baked beans will, not hurt a child, providing they have been properly baked and the child has a real liking for them. They are very nutritious, wholesome and appetizing,’’ said the speaker. "Corporal punishment is the only thing that will successfully curb certain traits In the young child, and I advise it In cases where nothing else will accomplish the same purpose. “All children should go barefoot when young. Don’t tie them up In restricting, uncomfortable clothing."
