I* Wren a Woman is Nervous—Worried The lives of most women are full of worry. Men’s troubles are bad enough, but women’s are worse. Worry makes women sick. It pulls them dowii, and in their weakened condition they are sub ject to pains, aches, weakness, back aches, neaddclfes and dizzy spells.

One day recently an aunt, one of those family institution aunts to whom everybody takes his troubles, said to me: “Why is it that our chil dren are still being told stories and given story .books which are full of pernicious rubbish? I’ve just re turned from visitrng my nieces who are ^usually so thoughtful about the welfare of their children that I ex pected something better in their nur series, but, instead X found their little ones immersed in the old tales of fear, cruelly and wicked step mothers. Moreover, these stories were in the most wonderfully illustrated books! In choosing the books a great Interest had been shown in the artists who made the pictures, but open indifference toward the stories.” “That answers the ‘Why,’ I ven tured. As yet, few of the beet story books are wonderfully illustrtUed” and consequently lose th& opportunity to capture the indifferent purchasers. Of course this indifference is not in tentional. Devoted mothers would shudder at the thought ‘of bringing harmful playmates into the lives'of tiieir children and yet through the careless purchase of books they often introduce their little ones to vicious conupany! The advertising power of the illus tration is the cause of much of the trouble. “Here am I,“Series the pret ties picture book on the shop counter, and the purchaser looks no further. It is quite likely that this same book is the usual version pf Cinderella, en cumbered with the odious step mother, not at all necessary to the plot, but contributing frem one gen eration to^another to an unwhole some prejudice. Tlje charming Irish version, which ^ntirely omits this character, is- noT^so easily*found by the casual buyer? If, however, that casual buyer wishes to become more purposeful, thesp is a long list of bemks full of helpful directions which may be consulted. For the sake of brevity only four are mentioned. These books are sug gestive and contain many delightful stories. It is almost certain that one or more of them can be found in any public library, and „a study of the suggestions and lists which they con tain will be 'of great assistance.

From the Weekly Telegraph, London. “In your sermon this morning you . spoke of a baby as a new wave on the ocean of life,” remarked the father of an overgrown family to the vicar after SOME BABY TRAINING. *'l wonder If ray experience might 1* helpful," Mrs. L. writes to the woman who recently wrote about her boy who holds hls breath aRd faints. "My boy Is 3 years old. Until the last three months ho held hls breath and fainted at every little hurt. "He never liked anything but meat and sweets and would vomit when I tried to make him eat food he should. The doctor told me Just to let him get hun gry until he would eat. He would not eat oatmeal. So when he gets up In the morning I give him a drink of warm water, let him see that I have his oat meal ready for him when he gets hungry for it, but do not force him to eat it, as he would only throw It up. "I am firm about It, so that he knows If he waits until almost noon that oat meal Is the next thing he eats. At first he would not eat It until ID o'clock or after, J»ut now he wants It about 8 and I do not hare much trouble about It. “He did not like oranges, so I sweet ened the Juice of an orange,'held my arm tight around hls shoulders, and poured the Juice In hls mouth. Most of It went down the outside of hls neck, the first few times, but after that he took It all right. "It was very hard to get him to take as much milk as he needed, so when he came In and wanted a drink I filled the glass first with milk and afterwards water. He would drink more milk when thirsty, but also has it with hls meals. I-also have him oat potatoes, which he does not like, before I let him have meat or dessert.,,^. ****&*>««* - - "Manyumes he left the table at noon rather than eat potatoes. I always put hls plate away just as he left- It until he came In about 1:30 or 2 o’clock and asked for It. "I thought an egg would be good. As he would not eat it I heat an egg, added a ctfb of milk with melted chocolate and sugar and warmed It. He now has that mixture for supper. So he has four cups of milk, one egg, an orange, oatmeal, bread and butter, potatoes each day. He has had some carrot but not as much yet as I woukUllke him to hava "When he was hurt and first started to cry we called loudly for some one to bring cold water to sprinkle on hls face.
