Psychology Professor Is Flayed By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON Dr. Watson, eminent behaviorist and what have you, is one of our greatest modern advisers. His latest outburst is to declare that the woman who can't or won't have a child should be allowed to hire another woman to have one for her. Heredity, he argues, has nothing whatever to do with the child, and only environment counts. Smarter persons than I have disagreed w'ith this theory. From his psychological experiences, Dr. Watson now gives us the information that a child would be far better off if it could be borne by one woman and reared by another. He says, in fact, that parents are children's greatest handicaps. That mr.y be true. Acquire Bad Traits. But just how is the doctor going to get around the fact that practically all foster parents gradually acquire the bad traits of regular ones, as for instance the tendency to coddle and to kiss little hands when they are cut, and all such foolishness, with which Dr. Watson professes to have so little patience? Could the woman who went into the professional motherhood business be quite sure that the child "ruld be . pared all such drawbacks? Could the woman who purchased it vouch for herself and her backbone? if not. where would the advantage to the child come in? Here is the great flaw in such an argument. Most folks are alike where babies are concerned. Sooner or later everybody who has daily dealings with a baby is certain to grow sentimental. Only a person steeped to the ears in psychology, like Dr. Watson could ever live in I lie same house with an infant without. becoming contaminated with a desire to coddle and kiss it. Not Like Rabbits. Dr. Watson’s second mistake is the inference that women are on the same plane with rabbits and guinea pigs and cows. Docs he imagine that a woman would enjoy her time having babies for somebody else? Why go through all that physical misery when there are so many easier ways of making money? Selling one's body has generally been counted rather a low thing. Selling one’s children, it seems to me. would be far lower. But. then. I have not enjoyed the educational advantages of Dr. Watson. I am only a woman who has had several children, and therefore rannot speak with the same authority that emanates from a former Professor of Psychology. Celebrdtc Anniversary Mr. and Mrs. J. L.

Teamwork Is Necessary in Rearing of Your Family

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON "Joint, Buddy ran off again today. What shall I do with him?” “I don’t know. He’s your child. Train him,” says John, deep in the stock new's. It is unfair for one parent to put all the moral responsibility of bring--1 ing up the children on the other. Team work in pulling the family }oad is necessary. It is a rare thing, 'however, and that is very' much to be deplored, as probably there isn’t another vocation in the world that demands as much co-operation as this matter of parentage. In getting a family of little children through life to a stage of selfdependence, there is always more or less “dirty” work to be done. Oh no, I don’t mean washing and cleaning and all that! But denying them when they want things, disciplining them when they need it, prodding them to do tasks they don’t like, making them study and last, but not at all least, instilling into them the thousand and one character traits that will make tl\em desirable human beings. Now it’s a tremendous task at best and needs two people working together to do it. Two people who agree beforehand and know what they are doing. It isn’t fair for Buddy’s father to expect his wife to do all the worrying, and disciplining. However, John’s attitude is more

He lets things get to a crisis and waits until she declares herself one way or the other and then he knows exactly what to ‘do. He contradicts her flatly and then there is open warfare with the child an interested spectator. Tell me, please, what a mother can do in the way of training with such persistent interference? It isn’t always the mother, though. A mother often will humor and spoil a child, and then when the father steps in to object she flies up like a cheetah to defend her young. ‘He’s my child!

LADY, 71, ILL 25 YEARS IS MADE WELL BY KONJOLA Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble Quickly Yield to Merits of New and Different Medicine. Konjola, the new medicine, has become the most talked of medicine lin Indianapolis simply because it 1 makes good. Konjola has won . . . | and kept ... a host of friends in ! this city simply because it scores its | triumphs in those cases that have defied and resisted everything else | MRS. BELLE WECKERMAN. —Photo by National Studio. Illinois Bid?. tried. Age is no, barrier to the splendid merits of this medicine. Konjola works its wonders for those in the seventies and eighties as well as for young men and women and also may be given to the infant with amazing results. But get all the facts about Konjola. Call on the Konjola Man, who is at Hook’s Dependable Drug Store, Illinois and Washington streets, Indianapolis, and have him tell you the wonderful story of this wonderful medicine. He will tell you of case after case wherein Konjola brought the first and only relief. And is it not wise to profit by the experiences of others. Take, as a typical example of Konjola at work, the case of Mrs. Belle Weckerman, 3621 Kenwood avenue, Indianapolis, who said to the Konjola Man a few days ago: “Although I am seventy-one years old, and had suffered for the last twenty-five years, Konjola won another of its splendid victories in my case. I praise this medicine publicly in the hope that others will profit from the lesson my experience teaches. “When I say I suffered for twentyfive years I mean that I was in misery day and night. Rheumatism and kidney trouble made life miserable and because of my age I felt that I would never see another Well day. My legs and feet wwfe so swollen, stiff and painful that I could not walk. Whenever I wanted to get around I had to have someone help me. I never left the house. During the night the weakness of my kidneys disturbed my sleep three or four times. Finally my food began to disagree with me and I felt that I was just about done for. Medicines were of no avail and this made me feel all the more certain that my case was hopeless. “But Konjola was so sincerely recommended that I decided to take one more cnance for tsettermefit. But I was taking no chance with Konjola. It was exactly what I always needed. It went right to work; I could almost feel it. The surge of returning health became more noticeable every day. I realized that, at last, health was just around the comer in spite of my age and the length of suffering. It was several months before Konjola completely ended all my ailments, but it did that thoroughly. Twenty-five years of suffering is at an end. No more rheumatism and my kidr-; yr, are strong and functioning r Nature intends. I walk any distruce and sleep soundly every night. Ail this glorious health I owe to Some ’ 'tnd I praise it with every breath ' Konjola contains no alrobc’ io nerve-deadening drugs, ro h-ar -depressing chemicals. It is r’.l medicine, every drop and every drop works. The Konjola Man is at Hoojk’s Dependable Drug Store, Illinois and Washington streets, Indianapolis, is meeting the public dailyf introducing and explaining the merits of this new and different medicine—Advertisement.
