MAKING THE MOST OF . ~ OUR CHILDREN V A Series of Plain Talks to By Rmy C. Bewy, A.8., MX President of the Parena AssociaticsL N. One characteristic of a spoiled hild is to be contrary. Sometimes e will inquire as to the parent's rish. apparently so that he can be lire to do the opposite. A vey large percentage of children ire spoiled in babyhood. Here is the ray it generally happens: The par pt wants to do something with the hild which the latter resents. There | a contest and the child wins. That practically the whole story. Just as in any contest we like to in, so in this mother-child contest, is natural for the child to get leasure out of winning. And after inning once he naturally has more mfidence winning again. He holds tit for his way longer each time ad as he wins out on successive tieasions, he gets more and more leasure out of "playing the game." A baby should never be allowed i win these victories over his moth rin the first place. Of course he eed not be defeated in a humiliat ig or harmful* way, but certainly e must not be allowed to gain his ids. Let lis take a typical case. A other writes to nie: "Will you plea/te suggest some ethod by which I can get my 13- oiiths-old baby to take a nap in IO afternoon? Usually he sleeps om 10.30 to 11.30 daily and or narily without any trouble. At ght he goes to bed about 7.30 and placed in his bed without any jjection. But in the afternoon, icre is always trouble. He stands [> in bed before I can get to the tor and refuses to lie down." Put your baby into a well venti ted room, partly darkened. Make A Sure Way to End Dandruff There is one sure way that has :ver failed to remove cfandruff at ice, and that is to dissolve it, then >u destroy it entirely. To do this, ist get about four ounces of plain, immon liquid arvon from any drug ore (this is all you will need), iply it at night when retiring: use lough to moisten the scalp and rub in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most if not all, of )ur dandruff will be gone, and iree or four more applications will mipletely dissolve and entirely de ,roy every single sign and trace of , no matter how much dandruff you lay have. You will find all itching and dig ing of the scalp will stop instantly, nd your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, lossy, silky and sift, and look and ;el a hundred times better.

FOURTH ST. wc y THURSDAY" EVENING, nap time an hour later than usual so that the child naturally will be more sleepy. As you prepare see that he uses his little chair just be fore he is put into his - crib, make all your movements slowly and quiet ly. Talk pleasantly in a very low voice. Stroke the baby's back down arms and legs a few times in a soothing way and then lay him down quietly. After taking all precautions to see that nothing can irritate him, and getting everything ready Tor him to sleep, pin the covers with large safe ty pins on both sides of the bed. Do not make them too tight, but at the same time so tight that he connot get cut. If this method had been used when the child was younger he would not be causing you trouble now; but it will produce results even now, since he is only a little over a year old. Of course, he will cry—perhaps the first time or two very hard in order to give you a big test —but do not re ward him, after three or four cries he will likely be convinced of their uselessness. Put him to bed at exactly the same time each day, and let your pro cedure one day after another, be just as nearly the same as it is pos sible. After pinning the covers loosely but securely over him leave the room quietly and do not return. He will soon adjust himself to your new policy if you do not allow any exceptions to occur..

Garments of Quality Bringing Up Father Copyright, 1918, International News Service -*- -*- By McMarms ooC I —-1 "When a Girl " By AJiTf LISLE A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing Problems of a Girl Wife "I am going over to Washington on the next train Anne," Terry's voice came over the telephone with a manifest effort to be calm. "I'll get a list of the towns wherq Betty was before, she came home, and see if I can trace any happenings that will account for l\er disappearance." I turned from the telephone to smile a greeting at my husband. "Here's Jim. Want to speak to him?" I asked. "Haven't time —have to make a dash for the train. So long!" came from Terfy, and hard on it Jim's tense: "Here —hold on! I want to speak to him." "He's hung up. Any news from Betty?" I asked eagerly, Impelled by Jim's strange manner to believe that something most important must he in the wind, heti I added. "You've spoken to Miss Sturges, dear?" "Yes, we've spoken," replied Jim curtly, scarcely heeding. A trifle uneasily Carlotta gathered up her belongings—extravagant furs, elaborate gold monogrammed patent leather purse, gauntlet gloves green bordered handkerchief—and rose to depart. "I wanted to do something," she said, with scarcely a trace of her usual flambou.vant assurance. "Yes, I know," I replied—and found adding the declaration Terry and Anthony Xorreys had made, "You're a brfck!" Quick good bye and assurances HXRRJBBURCF TEEEGTCXPEE that she still wanted to help—But was sure there Wasn't anything to worry about and Carlotta was gone, hej very perfume and presence eliminated, and Jim and I stood fac ing each other with that queer tense ness I had felt lying almost tangibly between us. "Did you tell Mr. Norreys about Betty? Did he send you home to help hunt her?" I asked. "Dike fun I did. Like fun I did!" sneered Jim. "No! I'm through that's what. Out of the Norreys game for good." In Jim's uneasy ejaculation I thought I detected the bravado of the man who has lost his Job and don't propose to whimper about it. That accounted for his tenseness—for his starfng, glaring eyes, set lips. I sank down on the couch and held out my hands invitingly. "Come, put your head down on my shoulder, dear, and tell me all about it. Maybe it can be fixed up," I said tenderly—in a tone reminiscent of the old love we had found anew only the evening before. Jim did not meet my mood; instead he came and stood in front of me, belligerently balancing so that his weight should not fall on his lame anlfle. "I've a darn sight less to tell you than you have to tell me, Anne. I knew from the beginning that there was something wrong about this Norreys job—a screw loose some where. That's why I wanted to talk to Terry just now. I wanted the truth" "The truth?" I repeated, wonder ingly. "What do you mean?" "No wonder you ask!" Jim rasped out. "I want to k,now the truth and I mean to have it, Anne. Tou'd better make up your mind to that for a change." "But, Jim, I don't know what this is all about. .1 don't know what you mean." "Quit playing innocent. I suppose you don't remember how I took the Job because of Norrey's chief assist ant wanting to get oft into the fight ing of the late war. I suppose you don't." "Yes, I remember," I wh'spered, fumbling around in my mind for the thing I must do, and wondering if Jim had actually unearthed our friendly conspiracy to find him work he could do—work that wouldn't strain his crippled ankle that would still'yield him a good living. "Oh, you do! Well, then you also remember who told me all that high falutin' truck about taking this job to help a friend Terry's and to re lease a man for war—for fight ing. A fine yarn you told me, Anne. I can't understand your lying to me like that!" Across my mind swept the memory of how I had pleaded with Terry for the truth—and of his reply: T was afraid Jim wofiW take a stand and refuse to accept the post Just because friends had found it for him. There's only on e thing he isn't brave enough to face. He's fair hip- Daily Dot Puzzle : f\ 1 I , • 27.

Will you break Jim's heart in idle ness or hav e me torture his pride with assistance the dear old chap would almost die swallowing—just to save yourself a little white lie? I'd lie myself blue in the face to save Jim from being hurt. Aren't you a pal and a helpmate and a good sport as well as a wife?" I remembered in a flash how Terry had convinced me against my will— how he -had forced from Anthony Norreys his promise to help put that story plausibly before Jim. He had staged his little play by phoning to plead with Neal to take the job so Norrey's assistant could be released for fighting. Then there came the thbuglit of how Jim had worked at uncongenial accounting, how h e had forced himself back to health so he could "help Terry." And now he was struggling with the humilkatnig truth that It had all been a hoax, staged to force him to accept assist ance from his friend. Could I tell him the, whole truth now? Could I exonerate myself at Terry's expense just when Terry stood most in need of Jim's loyalty and friendship? (To Be Continued.) DAILY HINT ON FASHIONS I j zrsi If .

Advice to the Lovelorn j SAYS HE IS FASCIXATED DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I was recently introduced to a young girl who fascinated mo very much. I was invited to her house and was treated most cordially. Eater we went out and spent a most enjoyable evening. By her actions and words I felt certain that she cared for me. As I said good night to her in front of her house 1 made a ges ture to kiss her. It was purely a spontaneous outburst of love. She, however, turned, away. Do you think I assumed the right attitude? I love this girl dearly and would like to know what attitude to assume in the future. F. A. C. Try to let your acquaintance de velop naturally, even though you are in a state of fascination. And by all means drop kissing for the present. You endanger your chances by forcing matters. HER RIVAL WEARS CURLS DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I am a girl of sixteen, and I know a boy of seventeen who is consider ed very pretty. I also have a girl friend who I have noted is paying strict attention to my boy. Now this annoys me, Miss Fairfax, and I wish your advice.
