Dear Editor and Sisters: Have mo- tlced quite a bit about child manage ment lately so felt I must put in a vorS. About year ago I was at an auction. A man and woman stood by me talking to friends and the woman said. we foId Frank not to go away but come straight nome tonight He asked if we were gong to bring home anything and we told him we expected to hire a truck 10 bring home the stun and for him to he sure and so straight home from school I'll DSt he's sitting on the wall now, waiting for us." This was late aftAr- noon and they hadn't bought 4 thinr and didn't chow any intention of doing so. Do you suppose Frank gets punish ed for being . liar!
 How many, many times have we seen parents yell at their children to s4on doing this or that and later punish Chem necSuss they holler about the h0uaei How many little mouths have been waAhed win soap and water for saving the naughty words mother and daddv use Little children are inst unir,scs They notice everything and tiny man nertszns of the ones they come in con tact with are impressed on their minds and sooner or later they adopt that manner as their own.

HAS BEEN A sHUr-IN. ALL SUMMER
 Dear sisters of the Social Corner: Donts think for one moment because I have not met with you since last March that do not belong to the Corner any longer
 know It Is two or three months too since I have written to answer to the roi1 call but I've had a good excuse I haven't been well all summer and since the middle of July have not been out anywhere and for the past ain weeks have not been on the ground but once and only out on the piazza but two or three times Have been under the doctors care all that time and still am now. although much better Can eat some and get little sleep now nights. For over three weeks did not get over one-half hour sleep any one night. Many nights did not even try to go to bed at all the pain was so severe. It was neu- r3tis in the sciatic nerve.
 I want to thank Aunty No. 1 and Betsy Trotwood for their nice letters which I received and enjoyed so much dnce I have been shut in.
 Canterbury, Belle: My roots you sent me did n4ceiy--better than you'd thought when they had so little care. I have not been able to pick any of my mas turtiums or dahlias since they began to bloom The Chinese bell flowers were beautiful. Sometimes there would be ak or 30 blooms at a time and now the plant which is under my kitchen win dow Is covered with seed pods Will they grow from the seeds from bulbs, then grow and bloom?
 had planned to have some bulbs, tr- lips and daffodils and hyacinths startsi by now. for winter cheer, but am not able yet to tend to them so guess have to think about them and let them A1 when the dull dark days come.
 Auntys No. l. I haven't any of the Chinese, wall flowers you spoke of in your letter and if | haven't delayed toe long in replying would be very glad tc l accept your offer of some of them. I had two letters from North Dakota In one she wanted to know, if I knew ! Rose of sharon who was a friend ot l hers. don't know what to write her
 surely don't know her by that name
 wish I knew. her real name and per. haps then might write North Dakota that she was a friend of mine too Would Rose of sharon write me at !. Soule street. Jewett City, and make herself known to me?

 feed at 2 inssexd. Then you can go to bed at nine or half past without the thought tilat you must wake in another hour There are go many books on ths care Of infants end all such good ones, I don't think I'd be teIling much tp repeat, but here are . few things not in the books:
 Don't lay baby on his back after feed ing or any other tims unless you ara nearby. He Is liable to vonaR and choke.
 Don't give baby cold water. Give warm boiled water several times day. It he has gas give warm water. My doctor recommended Phillips MIX of Magnesia and I find it very, very ac- ceptable though warm water did the work for long time. Turn him on his stomacfI and rub his back and sides to relieve him.
 Don't expect him to enjoy day'g out ing while an infant He doesn't want to be carried about and handled. He wants food and sleep. Especially if you nurse your baby be careful about tirins yourself and also be sure to have plen- ty of nourishing drink for yourself if you must be out for the day. Eggnog is very good. also grapenlts with hot water poured over them. Drain and add little milk or cream to the water. Don't feed every time the baby cries. Would you eat moro watermelon If you found 1t had given you stomachache !? Why do you think that more food will help an ache caused by that same food If baby has enough for 20 minutes feed ing. and then sucks his fist and cries you may be sure 1t IS gas and nothing eisa, If you haven't been nervous or oyertired, cts.
 Don't nurge when excited CT angry CT overheated good way to cool down Is to let cold water run on your pulse and bathe the back of the neck with nerves drive It away and you have a nervous discontented, fussy baby Don't let baby stick an empty bottle It causes indigestion Don't thinR be- cause your baby Is large he requires more food. If you weigh him every week you can tell whether he Is getting the right amount of food and the right kind.
 Don't toss the baby. It Isn't good fo, him and will cause him to vonrft.
 And, dear friends, don't. no matter don't leave off the little bands tal the bowels are as they should be I've seer babies whose bands were removed to, soon and the little things were 8 con stant flop flop as they were moved about It takes about three months fou the right condition to exist.

wHr ONE SISTER HASN'T WRITTEN

My dear Sisters of the Corner: Did you think l just entered to shout a while, and ask why other sisters did not write etc? Oh mol
 Here's a few reasons. I went into school in March and substituted 77 days,
 and at the same time kept house.
 It surely was pleasure to be with
 the children again. as I always enjoyed the work and they were workers. After
 school was out, company began to arrive and when Labor day came I believe fa- ther and decided we had been alone seven days.
 I did have one weeks vacation the first week in August and did nothing but rest, or you would have had a letter
