Home Lessons on Fear and Self-Confidence in Family Life
Two professors from Columbia and Yale tested over 10 000 children ages eight to sixteen to study home and school influences on character. They found the home overwhelmingly shapes attitudes, with three key home phases forming how children face life: spousal harmony, sibling relations, and parent–child dynamics. They argue that parental behavior teaches fear or confidence, and that responsible parenting builds courage and self worth, reducing life fear.

Scientists Sample Arctic Sea Bottom
A radiogram from Captain Sir Hubert Wilkins aboard the Nautilus reports Arctic Ocean bottom sampling at 5 220 feet. The mud column measured 17 inches long and one inch thick, brown to pale blue, indicating polar deposits aged in the hundreds of thousands to millions of years. Worms in children work havoc. These pests attack the tender lining of the intestines and, if left to pursue their ravages undisturbed, will ultimately perforate the wall. Miller's Worm Powders will exterminate these worms and repair the injury they have done.
