1t Is not true that beauty una

Waking Babies.

gets ready. He doesn't need any les
sons. Let him alone. See that his falls

but don't teach him to be tramp. Urg-
Ing child to stand alone Is an ex-
cellent way to cripple him for life.

the baby's legs are strong enough to
support him he, too, will stand up and
walk off. Give him a chance.
