It offten happens that parents
flo not fully agree on all points in
In the management of their child
ren. And most of us remember
the experience in earlier >ears of
going to the more lenient parent
and pleading for some special
prlvlrkge.
They are very ke>n. They soon j
learn. They not only know which |
parent to approach first, and the j
exact manner of approaching each, j
but they make good and frequent !
, use of the methods found to be most;
effective.
Parents ought to know what is
good for a child, and so any differ
ence between their views.- of wheh ,
the child can take advantage, simply i
tends to spoil the child and realty j
works in the long run against the
Interest of each.
• Let us examine a concrete case, i
A mother writes:
"T have wanted our three-year- j
old daughter to sleep in her own bed,
but whenever I attempt it she cries
until I fear she will make herself ill.
Can you suggest the best way to
. proceed? Her father always gives
In to her will and gives her anything
she wants, so she is becoming bossy!
and thinks she can rutin the house- (
hold. It is a problem to know just [
* how ffar a child should have her j
own way."
One thing absolutely essential to j
your success in dealing with your |
little daughter Is ffor you and your,
husband to agree upon a given plan j
of management before you start to;
carry it out. '
A child nearly always will be
found to have the crying habit, if,
one or other of. the parents—it j
makes no difference which one—gen- :

gradually disappear if from this time
on, you and your husband would
maintain an attitude of calmness
and tirmness and both of you stand
together every time.
Place the daughter's small bed
right beside your bed, and use the
, following method: in the morning
j of the day that you want her to be-
I sin sleeping in her own bed, have
; her in the room when you put the
j i>ed at the side of yours and say,
I "Tonight, you are going to sleep
next to me in your own little bed.
Won't that be tine?"
' It would be ell if she would agree
!at once. At any rate, take it for
| granted that she will be pleased. If
i she makes some reemark to the
! effect that she doesn't want to, don't
j make the mistake of trying to argue
! with her or present reasons why she
[should. Just ignore her statement
for a while. Be friendly. But per
j haaps a little later you can suggest
j incidentally that when she is in her
I little bed and you are in yours, she
1 can reach over and kiss you gOOd
j night. In other words, simply take
it for granted from the time you first
announce a thing that it is coming
to pass without question.
I When night time conies, gently
but firmly demand that she is to
! get in the little bed next to you.
i Your husband must demand the
j same thing—not in a threatening
I way—simply in a quiet but expect-
I ant manner.
| After you are all in bed. talk to
| her reassuringly so that she ill not
[be afraid. After the first few nights.
, you can push the little bed away a
| few inches each day until you have
| it where you want it without mak
j ing her fearful.
i Her tendency to be "bossy" and
I' "run the household" is a result of
laxness on the part of one or both
of you. Give her plenty of oppor

" When a Girl Marries"

Problems of a Girl Wife
CHAPTER LIX.
(Copyright 1918, by Kings Features
Syndicate, Inc.)
There was no question of Jim's
going to work next morning. He
couldn't even get out of bed. for
his ankle doubled under him when
he tried to and deprived him of
choice in the matter.
He had been protesting vigor
ously against my sending for a
doctor, and though his face was
gray and twisted with pain, he
kept insisting that he was perfectly
all right If only I'd stop acting like
the tlrst mourner at a funeral.
But when my poor, cross boy
and his ankle collapsed together,
he actually began shouting for a
doctor. And I didn't know of one.
I suddenly felt ashamed of my vul
gar good health all through my four
years in Xew York. But I ran to
the telephone and consulted Vir
ginia. This seemed one of the
times when I must act as if my
sister-in-law and I were really
sisters.
"I'll phone for Dr. Kellogg at
once. He is a wonderful man and
will know just what Jim needs,"
began Virginia with the coldness
to which 1 had become quite ac
customed. Then her voice warmed
to tender anxiety. "Oh, Anne—
you're sure none of Jim's wounds
have opened? Why didn't you
send for a doctor last night—or for
me? I'll be over in five minutes —
just as soon as I've called Dr.
Kellogg."
Then I went in to inform Jim of
the impending visit of Virginia and
the doctor.
"Now, you've gone and frighten
ed Jennie to death!" cried Jim in
irritation that was all for me—as 1
realized when he used his pet name
for Virginia. "Why did you do
that? I won't have her see me in
bed—it'll break her all. up. Help
me out of here."
Of course it hurt to have Jim
ignore the fact that it might break
ma all up to see him in bed, but I'd
always heard that sick men were
irritable, and now it was being
demonstrated for me. So I bit my
lips and summoned any shreds of
humor I might possess.
"Jimmie, I've got you where I
want you. You're helpless and so
you'll just do just as I order," I be
gan In a tone of mock-heroics.
Then I continued more seriously:
"This is your program:
"You'll wash out. of a nice little
bowl Xursey brings you, and eat
your breakfast from a nice little
tray similarly witched to your side.
And then, if his porridge and cream
is all gone, Little Jimmie will be
taken out to the nice comfy couch
In the living room by the lean-on
me-grandpa method. How's that?"
Jim only grunted and turned his
face to the wall, but he let me carry
out my program. And as we
were staggering out to the living

[ room together, Virginia arrived,
| with Phoebe bringing up the rear
| laden with fruits and jellies and a
I regular market supply of dainties.
, The little sister was only allowed to
stay for a kiss and she was ordered
olt to see to the day's work in Vir
ginia's apartment. In the doorway
she sadly whispered to me:
"Vee doesn't think any one can do
as much for Jim as she can. And
she doesn't think I matter to him at
all. 1 didn't tell her about the neck
lace."
She squeezed my hand, blew a kiss
to Jint and drifted away like a mass
of spring blossoms on a breeze. For
a moment a flicker of pity for Vir
ginia passed across my mind —how
! much she missed when she froze
Phoebe to immobility. And after
this thought I found it more natural
to pity myself, for Virginia was
taking possession of Jim, rearrang
ing his pillows, undoing all my
plans for his comfort and—yes, I
confess it —doing everything twice
as skillfully as 1 had.
And for her, Jim was conquering
the ill temper from which 1 hadn't
been able to win him. He seemed
to feel at home with Virginia, and
everything I had done for him had
the effect of making him act surly
and sheepish. I comforted myself
with the thought that he wanted to
serve me, and so having me wait on
him humiliated him had brought on
sulks which ere used to disguise
feelings he might have thought
babyish." Satisfied with my own
explanation of Jim's attitude toward
his sister, I manage not to let one
atom of jealousy creep into my
manner toward her. And I tried
not to let it upset me when she
turned on me with an angry ex
clamation:
"Anne Harrison, you ought to be
ashamed. You haven't even an ice
bag on this poor boy's ankle.
Haven't you any idea what to do
for a sick man?"
"Oh, my poor Jim! Were you
suffering without the ice-bag? We
haven't one, but I'll run right
down to he corner and get the best
they have and—anything else you
say, Virginia," I replied meekly—
for me.
By the time I returned from the
errand on which even Jim's pro
tests couldn't prevent my going. Dr.
Kellogg had arrived. He was a
splendid big, gray-bearded man in
the kindly zone of the late fifties.
Strength and love and understand
ing Seemed to fill the room, and his
keen eyes and firm manner fore
told knowledge and skill. Rest, a
tonic and the ice-bag were a large
part of his prescription, and to
these he added a sedative for the
pain in Jim's ribs, and an injunc
tion that "the lad" mustn't be per
mitted to worry.
Immediately on his departure
Virginia went firmly to the 'phone,
called up the cap factory, asked for
the manager and announced that
Mr. Harrison would not return to
work there and would like his check
mailed to him. Then she advanced
upon me almost scornfully.
"You might have saved Jim all
this suffering, Anne, if you'd just
taken the trouble to realize that
if he had been fit for such work he
might have had a Government in
j spectorship instead of working in
| this —picayune cap factory.
"Virginia!" I cried defensively,
"I tried to get him to resign last
| night."
"And I resigned for him this
j morning!" she replied, • coldly.
IThe Best Cough Syrup |

you ever tried. 3
You've probably heard of this well
known plan of making cough syrup at
i home. But have you ever used it?
; When you do, you will understand
why thousands of families, the world
I over, feel that they could hardly keep
: house without it. It's simple and
cheap, but the way it takes hold of
! a cough will quickly earn it a per
manent place in your home.
Into a pint bottle, pour 2Vj ounces
of Pinex; tben add plain granulated
sugar syrup to fill up the pint. Or, if
desired, use clarified molasses, honey,
or corn syrup, instead of sugar syrup.
Either way, it tastes good, never
spoils, and gives you a full pint of
better cough remedy than you could
buy ready-made for three times its
, cost.
' It is really wonderful how quickly
this home-made remedy conquers a
cough—usually in 24 hours or less. It
seems to penetrate through every air
passage, loosens a dry, hoarse or tight
I cough, lifts the phlegm, heals the mem
branes, and gives almost immediate
1 relief. Splendid for throat tickle,
hoarseness, croup, bronchitis and bron
chial asthma.
Pinex is a highly concentrated com
pound of genuine Norway pine extract,
and has been nsed for generations for
throat and chest ailments.
To avoid disappointment ask your
druggist for "2Mj ounces of Pinex"
with directions, and don't accept any-

woman can justify herself for let

"Virginia—be silent!" It was
Jim's voice that broke in so harsh

taking this position. How dare you
accuse her of letting me slave for
her! Why, that little, girl would
face poverty—and worse for me."

Virginia's eyes flashed as she
turned on him:
"Are you insinuating that—l
wouldn't face things? Are you at
tacking me—to gloss over her wan
ton blunder —the blunder that has
brought you to this sickness?"
"Virginia!" thundered Jim, "we
will not discuss my life —please—
she happens to he the dearest thing
to me in all the world."

"Oh, indeed!" cried Virginia, and,
sweeping her hat from the table
she tied before 1 could move to stop
