Writing for Publication.

The reason why so many writer's
fail is because they try to write when
they have nothing to say. Or if they
really have ideas. they are unable to
express themselves clearly. The anna

il is much safer. DO not fancy that
one can merely sit down and write.

Giving Infant Medicine.

When baby is sick and cross. 1t
often becomes a serious and dreaded
task to give the medicine. It is sur
prising how expert even a tiny baby
can become in squirming, twisting
and kicking so that the medicine gets
in every place but in the proper
place. The best way to administer
medicine in the powdered form is to
give it dry. Place the powder on the
tip of the spoon and then open the
baby's mouth and drop the medicine
as far back OIL the tongue as is pos
sible. Then give him drink of milk
or water in the bottle.
