0 MAKING THE MOST OF.: OUR CHILDREN \) A Series of Plain Talks to Pnsifent of fbe Parma Aasoclatiao. DOES YOUR CHILD TOUCH FOR- Of course, your child wants to get into things and examine them. He wouldn't be a normal child if he didn't. • "Forbidden* or not, they all look alike to him. In fact, he simply doesn t give a thought to the matter of aduH wishes, unless they are im pressed upon his little mind In the Proper way. The trouble with far too much of our teaching is that it is hap hazard. We attack a habit, then let it grow a little, attack it again and so on, instead of mapping out beforehand a definite. workable plan and methodically executing it. o want our children to have ex perience; we want them to examine objects and thus give needed exer cise and training to their senses. But, at tjie same time, we can wise ly insist upon thetr using objects for experimentation which are both harmless and non-destructible. The following case was submitted to us for solution: "Our two-and-a-half-year-old bov has a great fondness for the objects on a certain bureau. Wife has gone with him to that bureau and fol lowed out the idea of letting him handle them, then having him put them back and finally to get his mind away from them by stimulat ing his attention with other objects. But this does not prevent him from going right back to the same objects the next day What would you ad vise doing in this case?" Your wife, as you described it, used a correct method in regard to the attractive objects on the bu reau. , We cannot change the na ture. We cannot avoid the fact &EE(MMS PILLS Constipation is the arch-enemy of health. Conquer this enemy and you rout a whole army of physical foes, includingjndigestion, biliousness, sick headache, sleeplessness and nervous dyspep sia. Beecham's Pills have been a world-favorite laxative for over sixty years. They go' straight to the cause of many ills and remove it. They act promptly, pleasantly and surely. Contain no. habit-forming drug. These time-tested pills strengthen the stomach, stimulate the liver and Relieve Constipation Direction, of Special Value to Women are with Every Box. Sold by drugguta throughout the world. In boxea, 10c., 25c. Mrs. F. writes: "I am informed that I have kidney trouble and that it Is fast approaching a serious stage. What would you prescribe?" Answer: If your symptoms are the usual ones, such as puffs under the eyes, swelling ankles, scant, copious or foul-smelling urine, accompanied by headaches, pains, depression fever, chills, etc., I would advise the imme diate use of Balmwort Tablets, sold in sealed tubes with full directions for self-administration. Boils writes: "Please tell me what to take to get rid of pimples, boils and bad blood. I know I need a con stipation "remedy." . Answer: It is probably neglect of constipation that has made your blood bad. Begin a thorough treatment of Three-Grain Sulpherb Tablets (not sulphur tablets). Continue'for sev eral months. • • • Walter asks: "My hair is too oily and my scalp itches with dandruff, and of late it is combing out too much. What is a good treatment? Answer: Obtain' Plain Yellow Min yol from yQur druggist in 4-oz. Jars and apply as per directions. This cleans, purifies, cools and invigorates the hair and scalp, thus stopping the death of the hair. Dandruff and itch ing at once relieved. Men and women all over the country now use it regu larly. * "Brother" says: "Some time ago I contracted a very severe cold and cough. I have tried many remedies, but they do not seem to help me at all. I wish you would advise me what to do." ~ THURSDAY EVENING, that certain things on the bureau are so attractive to him that he simply wants to get near them all the time and handle them if given a chance. If you have your boy so that he will obey you at the mo ment you give your command, that is nbout all that you can expect of a boy of his age. Of course, if a proper method is used he also can be taught that certain things are forbidden to him altogether. First, use the method of substi tution. This consists not only in supplying material objects, which are permissible, but far more im portant, playing upon his imagina tion and getting him to play con tentedly. Encourage him to imi tate in a playful way tl\e activities of grown folks in your locality which happen" particularly to im press him. Enter enthusiastically into his play-life. Use suggestion freely. Set him doing something like shoveling sand into vessels with a shovel, or anything that has ac tivity connected with it: and tell him you will come back after a while and see how he gets along. Then make it a point to visit him in his play frequently to approve his "ac complishments'' and suggest new things. There are books that might help you, books such as "Home Occupa tions for Little Children," by Kath erine Beebe. If the bureau that has been caus ing so much* trouble happens to be in a room where the mother and boy are obliged to be the most of time, you will tind it a good plan to set a little stand near the forbidden bureau, which the boy can have as his very own. It would be well if this little stand contained one or j two shelves besides the top, so that &i/)r.ZeH'/'sr£aJrGM x}& The questions answered below are general in character, the symptoms or diseases are given and the answers will apply to any case of similar na ture. Those wishing further advice, free, may address Dr. Lewis Baker, College Bldg., College-Elwood streets. Day ton, Ohio, enclosing self-addressed stamped envelope for reply. Full name and address must be given, but only initials or fictitious names will be used in my answers. The prescrip tions can be filled at any well-stocked drug store Any druggist can order of wholesaler. Answer: What you need is a laxa tive cough syrup, one that will drive the cold from your system. The fol lowing prescription will check your cold and cough: Get a 2%-oz. pack age of Concentrated Essence Mentho- Laxene and make according to direc tions on the bottle. Take a teaspoon ful every hour or two or until your cold is better. This will relieve you I in a very few days. j Traveler writes: "Perhaps you can prescribe for me, .as I am at a loss to understand my condition. For the past year I have suffered extreme nervousness, trembling and extreme ties are cold. Have poor appetite, am weak, listless and no ambition to work or seek recreation. Am tired all the time and in no sense the strong, capable man I was a few years ago." Answer: A powerful rejuvenating nejve medicine should revive the dor mant sluggish condition and put new ambition and energy into your blood and nerves. Obtain Three Grain Cadomenc Tablets in sealed tubes take as per directions. NOTE: For many years Dr. Baker has been giving free advice and pre scriptions to millions of people through the press columns, and doubtless has helped in relieving ill ness and distress more than any single individual in the world's his tory. Thousands have written him expressions of gratitude and confi dence similar to the following: Dr. Lewis Baker, Dear Sir:— I hap pened a few days ago to read The Pittsburgh Leader and there I no ticed your column of questions and answers. I also noticed that you ad vised those that are suffering from constipation to use Sulpherb Tablets and have tried. To my amazement it has made a new man out of me. I have been suffering from constipation for the last five years and have tried various remedies without avail. I am so grateful tb you that I don't know how to thank you for.lt Would be very glad to recommend it to any body. Very truly your*. . R.

Then you can make clear to him in a low voice and in a very im pressive way that he can take things from his own stand but that he must not take things from the bureau table. Always designate the little stand as his own little table. So many persons make the mis take of refusing children in a sharp sort of way or in n way which an tagonizes them. This is not neces sary at all. If a parent refuses re quests in a very calm, quiet way but in a way that suggests he means business, the child very soon will learn to take a refusal as final with out ill-feeling.

Betty had said "Not to-night— soon-, perhaps, Anne," When I beg l( ged for the opportunity of standing j by her as she alwayp did by nje— I and I felt that was almost a prom | ise.

Carlotta | volunteered to try to find what taxi ; company Betty called just before j leaving. "That girl's a brick," said Terry, quietly, as we rode down town in the elevated. Anthony Norreys had used his very words. Our taxi was waiting when we got down to the street. We fairly leap ed into the car and in almost com plete silence drove to my apart ment. When we arrived there I hurried at once to get my mail. There werfe three letters in the Harrison box. 1 jerked them out. I One for me from Neal, a typed en velope for Jim and an announce-' ment from a milliner. That was all —no line from Betty. I tried to ignore the sudden sink ing of my heart. "Come up and wait for Jim. He's fond of Betty, too. and he'll tell* us what a pair of sillies we are to fuss just because she goes off on some affairs of her own and doesn't con sult us." "Yes, I'd like to see old Jim mie," agreed Terry, as he stumbled into the elevator after me. The grinning elevator boy turned to me with an announcement: • "Mistah Harrison, he phone. Yas'm, he do.

He smiled at me wanlv but apolo getically as we left the elevator, and added with a little effort to poke fun at himself: It s been a wretchedly long even ing. even though I've spent part of :. it with you, dear lady." I turned from fumbling to locate I the keyhole and laid my hand on Terry's arm. . "Terry, I know," I said. "I love Betty, too. I only found it out last night, but it's been trying to come through to daylight for a long while." Then I got the door open, switch ed on the lights, set out an ash tray, cigarets and matches and hurried into my bed-room. I took a long time removing my canteen cap and apron and hang ing away my cape. When I felt I'S given Terry time enough to adjust himself to the disappointment of finding nor word from Betty even here at my home, I went out to him. He was striding up and down the room, his hands clasped behind him. his head low, but at the sound of my approach he hurried to me al most sayly. "Anne," he said, accepting the new status my calling him "Terrv" had established. "Anne—you just said—you loved her." He stumbled over the words a bit. I took his hands as if he were a little boy—as, indeed, what man in trouble isn't?—and led him to the big couch. I pushed him down in the very comfiest corner and sank into a little low chair, facing him Then, looking at him with the big sister smile that no one had needed since Neal left me, I said, slowly and quietly: • ..

For a second, a boyish, almost shame faced grim flickered out on his face. It made me like him better than ever, and I held out my hands in pleading. "Oh, Terry! can't you trust me? You've been so loyal to Jim and me. Aren'a we really friends? Betty said friendship has to—go two ways." Again Terry smiled —a man's smile now, a little wan, perhaps, but very real and true, for all that.
