HELPS FOR MOTHERS
By EMILE HOFFMAN

Children should not be allowed to sit at the table without first wash ing their hands. If the mother washes the face and hands of the baby each time before she places it in the high chair this will become a habit and as the child grows older it will be just natural to wash before a meal. If this has been oNerlG ok ed and the washing is done under pro- test, as is frequently the case, the habit can be readily established by firmness on the part of the mother.
 If the child appears at the table with soled hands gently and pleas antly remind him that he has forgot ten to wash his hands, and face and brush his hair If he does not leave the table voluntarily insist upon his doing so. Impress upon him that this is the initial performance tC each meal and if you never overlook a neglect in this respect the child will soon form the habit.

"One Trick e Day"
THE MYSTIC MIND READER


 The performer asks several people in the audience to write a sentence each on a slip of paper and seal it in an envelope. One of the audience is a confederate, and writes a sen tence agreed upon before hand. When the assistant goes round the room to collect up the envelopes, the confederates contribution is careful ly put where it will be the last one turned Lp.
 The performer picks out an en- velope, and after feeling it with much ceremony, pronounces the sem tencc agreed upon, and the con- federate in the audience admits that he wrote it. To conform this. the rerformer tears open the envelope and repeats the sentence, as though he found it on the enclosed paper. which is, in reality, another mans sentence, which he reads; and then. picking up another envelope and fumblins over it. he calls out the sentence he has just read
 The one who wrote it says that il is right. The performer tears open the envelope, reads what is in it, and proceeds the same way through the lot - 4 s
