There are families who reserve all
their unpleasantness for meal hours
they think it convenient occasion to
discuss things that have gone awry
to thrash out grievances. to dwell on
disagreeable or gloomy subjects. II

dyspepsia more surely than If they in.
dulged In mince pie or terrapin
Haven't you gone to the table ravenous
with hunger to find your appetite leave
you in the face Of family quarrel
Who has not felt their food heavy aft
er a meal hour Of ructions? Yet how
few blame it on Its real cause, which
is the interruption Of digestion by men.
tai agitation. The meal hour should
be the pleasantest hour in the day. 1t
should be looked forward to rather
than dreaded; and 1t will be If parents
insist on each one being agreeable.
Contribute to the family good cheer
and dyspepsia will vanish.
Cheer during meals will do away
with the need of digestive tablets.
Make 1t a rule to come to the table
smiling, and continue to smile, though
the food does not suit you and every
one elsei sdown her luck. Your
smile will prove contagious.
Good manners are desirable, but not
so desirable as good health. If your
child can only learn to eat well through
constant nagging at meal time, better
let 1t slip up in its table manners.
Many children refuse to eat at table
because their hunger is driven away
by reproof. A mother once complained
to her doctor that her small son had
no appetite; no matter how tempting
the food, he could not eat it, though
he seemed hungry between meals. The
physician asked to be Invited to lunch,
which the child ate with the family.
At the close of the meal he said:
ut is not your boys digestion that is
at fault, but his mother Let that boys
manners alone. Stop your incessant,
Willie, your elbows DO not smack
your lips If you think he will not
shine as gentleman without such
coaching take fifteen minutes midway
between meals for lessons in table
breeding, but stop your nagging while
he eats If you would not have chronic
dyspeptic."
Watch your table talk, keep 1t pleas
ant at any cost, learn to digest your
food with laughter and fight dyspepsia
with cheerfulness, and not only will
your home life be happier, but you will
forget that weak stomach.

town contained accommodations for
storing his car, and accordingly he
wrote the postmaster to ask whether
there were any garages there. In a

SIMPLER TRIMMING

There is little question that the simpler

in practically all materials. Even ina the

are used and invariably IN self color. In
the more dressy waists yokes or lace or
net are conspicuous on practically all
models much or the trimming coming
below the edge Of the yoke. Often "a
contrasting note in the trimming is i'm
