The Child of Today.

Children should always eat with
their parents, for the good effect upon
their manners. There is nothing In
that old rule which said that children
IN the company of their elders should
be seen and not heard On the con-
trary' the conversation at the family
table should be such that the children
may join in it, and It should be gay
and cheerful in tone. Laughter is
good for the digestion. A cheerful.
happy environment is as essential to
the health OF children. even babies. a
sunshine TO flowers. Their nerves
as well as their digestion suffer in an
atmosphere of depression and gloom.
