Nettle rash and prickly heat are

You can put the baby on the toilet
every day at a regular time and use
a suppository to establish regular
habits of evacuation. But If the baby
is we'll and healthy why try to urge
her to have a movement every day,
which might result in constipation.
Evidently every other day is natural
to her.

Ripe Beans Make
Pleasing Dishes,
Says Sister Mary

II you havs overlooked some
string beans in your garden you need
not let them be wasted. If the pods
nave become really stringy and I'M
eatable let them stay on the vines
until they are dry. Then shell the
Deans and You have really delicious
ripe beans disable in many ways.
A substantial dish can be made
with beans of thij sort, taking the
place of meat. Or the beans are
sometimes combined with a little
meat merely for the flavor.
These vegetables are not worth
while canning or drying for winter
use, SO eat them while the eating is
good. They will of course keep sew
eral days as green beans would not.
By clever planning the produce from
the kitchen garden can be used late
INTO the fall.

Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-10-11

My guess is that in your particular case, Mr.. +. c. NJ,
you think too highly of yourself. and that you are one of
the many thousands of young men who would accept a high
salaried, mahogany-desk situation, but who are not out
looking for an eight or ten hour job. You want to begin at
the top. You haven't the patience and energy to work your
wav up. Yet all of those inferior young men, whom you
behold filling responsible positions and getting good sal

business teeth on the very lowest rung of the ladder and
have climbed up slowly, and with toll and sweat through
many years of grueling labor.

MISERABLE HUSBAND.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-10-11

Alas, Miserable Husband, who can minister to a mind
diseased by jealousy? OF all possible rivals, surely the one
least dangerous to a wife is the poor, dear, dead lady lying
in the cemetery under a ton of marble. Yet women can get
more green eyes over their husbands frst-wives than they
can over any living vamp. 1t takes more brains and heart
than the average woman possesses to bear with fortitude the
sure knowledge that her husband loved and married another
before he did her.

SO the question at last resolves itself into how much you
care for the man. Do you 1ove him well enough to take him.
and live with his mother? DO you prefer his happiness to
your own? Then take him, or leave him. But If you take
him, make up your mind to play the game. If you agree to
go and live with his family, live with them peaceably. Try
to make them like you. Just remember that you are a guest
in your in-laws house and that they are making sacrifices,
too, to try to help you and your husband get a start in the
world. You can make any situation endurable If you will
bring a little common sense and philosophy to bear n it.
