Tell me what to do to bring about a change in him? Ans: There're too many folks around—he doesn’t have the pri vacy he usually enjoys and it is upsetting him. Get rid of your guests as soon as you ean and your home life will be happy and normal again. M. R. M.—I met a nice fellow a few months ago. Here for the last couple of weeks he acts very fun ny. He makes dates and doesn’t show up. Will we be like we were or is this a cool brush off? What should I do? Ans: His indiffernce can only be taken one way—he’s losing interest.

B.—I worked for a lady five years ago down in Texas and like her fine. She wants me to come back there to work. I am planning to store my furniture and send my kids to my mother. Will it pay me to make this change ? Ans: No—the salary she has offered you will not compensate for the expense you will have to assume to make this change. You would have to earn much more than that to support your children, yourself and pay the storage fee on your furniture every month. Stay with your family—they need you You’re doing nicely .where you are. I P. S. C—I have a girl friend I would like to marry as I love her very much. But I know that she has other guys slipping around her place, yet she denies it, but I can see for myself that she does Would she stop this foolishness if we were to marry? Ans:—Not likely—if she cheats now, marriage won’t change her. Better give up the idea of marri age since she does not come up to your expectations. F. C. F.—I am a girl of 17, and have a boy friend in the army. I have a baby for him. I know that I love him very much but want to know if I should wait on him as he says he will marry me when he gets home? Ans: Of course you should wait. You two youngsters are (very much in love and should get married as soon as you can and providg a bome for your baby. He’ll only be away a few more months—live true to him.

K. T, By DR. H. W. SCHULTZ, Hvtrlttenitf Many mothers are wondering if It is advisable to take their babies along on vacation trips. Well, if you follow your baby’s usual sched ule, the trips will probably benefit1 him, as well as you and dad. If you’re planning a trip by auto, it's a wise idea to arrange-a bed for the baby right m the ear-ron' the back seat, or ... if you have a coupe a large pillow on the ledge will do nicely. Baby’s feedings are no problem at all ... in addition to milk which you can buy as you travel (If you use whole cow’s milk, be sure it is pasteurized and in a sanitary con tainer), take a good supply of pre pared baby foods with you. Before feeding time, just place a can of strajned meat or vegetable on th« foor at $our feet, apd the heat rom the motpr will warm it tq. just the.right temperature. ■ + Be sure to take along several varieties of baby’s strained canned food . . . infants eajoy a variation of food, too. That's one of the reasons why so many doctors are recommending meat in baby’s diet, earlier now than ever before. Meat introduces baby to an entirely dif ferent flavor—and a different con sistency, too. And ... of course, in addition, meat provides his diet with a food rich in ptateins, iron Bnd niacin—so necessary to hia proper growth and development. For older babies meat is available in diced form. These meats are so tasty even mother and dad may usp them for a quick lunch. 0 1 I Ask your doctor about the new specially prepared canned meats available for babies . . . prepared according to doctor’s specifioations, and approved by the American Medical association. The strained meats have been fed to even pre maturely l>orn babies, but of course, your own doctor will advise you iust when to include them ip ;our isby’s diet.
