MORE TROUBLE.
Now we have the flu in hand.
| there's another calamity coming. 1t
| will sweep the states from north to
south and keep all you mothers a-run-
to grip every kiddie from Maine to
Seattle. You mothers had better pre-
pare to fight; it's. going to be some
battle. Your kiddie will start to have
woebegone looks. and behave like
dear little saint; they'll agree with
YOU and mind you well. it's a sure
'Iwanta" faint. They'll go to bed at
| the proper time, and even scrub the
floors. they'll rake the yard and carry
wood, and do a million chores. Twill
be "yes-mayn" and "al right NAV"
and never show complaint. But don't
let all that fool you; it's the "Iwanta"
faint. Then round about December
first the disease gets awfully bad. its
terrific complications are sure to
worry dad. 1t will be 'Iwanta" horse.
'Iwanta" sled: "Iwant" candy in a jar.
'Iwanta" hook and ladder. with the
wheels all painted white. "Iwanta"
| ball, baseball bat, "Iwanta" great big
kite, "Iwanta" pair of roller. skates.
and a box of pretty paints its ter
rible epidemic. it's the plain "Iwanta"
faint. 1t strikes the girls as well as
boys; and they set up a scream:
"Iwanta" doll. "Iwanta" dress, and
some candy and ice cream, "Iwanta"
set of dishes, and some paper dolls to
cut. 'Iwanta" dog, a NANCY one. a
plain old simple NUT; ''Iwanta'' doll
crib for Jane, 'Iwant" some doll
| clothes too; "Iwanta" lot of dresses
like my older sister Sue. So parents,
you had better lay your plans and be
prepared. the "Iwanta" germs are
floating, ever floating, in the air.
