The regularity of meals begins when the
child is young. 70 feed a baby something
every time it cries to keep it quiet is lay
INK the foundation Tor a dyspeptic. The
habit of eating between meals is formed,
and the child will think it essential that it
eats between each meal. There is little
appetite for the regular meals and the
stomach is thus ruined by this irregular

There il m inherent longing deep in the
heart Of each woman plodding along this
earth Of ours to be attractive. She thrives
on admiration and grows plump at the
rate Of FIVE pounds Il week If little love
,honld be thrown in her way. But the
great question Of how to gain this affec-
ton. this love and admiration which each
man has it in his power to give is sometimes
Of a rather pu2zling nature to girls, espe-
rially Chose who have no personal charms
TO attract.
In conversation the other day some
charming girls were complaining of their
!acl, OF talent and plain features. 1t was
suggested to them to make a study of the
art Of being pleasant Girls, you don't
know what an effect continued PLEASANT
ness has upon man"
\ woman who makes the man whom
she loves believe that she knows not the
meaning of worry, and who always has for
him Il pleasant smile and word of wei
come, will find that tender thoughts Of her
are creeping down further into his heart
than those of the beauty whom she envies.
The only way always TO be pleasant is to
make u study of the art; convert it into a
science and study it as such. \ pleasant
woman in the home is like a CLEAN Of
Gods brightest sunshine. Her very pres
ence soothes comforts and cheers the heart
