The treatment is based on a re-

Kings New Discovery for Coughs.
You simply take n teaspoonful at
night before retiring and hold IT IN

has a double action. 1t not only
soothes and heals soreness ana lrrl-

removes the phlegm and congestion
which are the direct cause OF the
coughing. The result is that you

cough condition goes IN very snort

The prescription is highly recon-

Etiquette
(By FLO)
(By FLO)

Dear Miss Flo
have been reading your column
and wonder if you could give me lit
tie information in regard to children's
etiquette.
% Is it considered good form for
child to use the expressions, eyes
ma'am," and "No, sir" (2) Should a
child be permitted to express his opin-
ions when he is taking part in a con-
versation contradicting his elders?
(O When giving a party for child
who is not old enough to write, should
the mother write the invitations or
have them engraved? (4) Should the
invitation be sent to the child or the
child's mother? (5). Please give me a
form which can be used.
Thank you B. L.
The expressions eyes, ma'am," and
mo, sir" are not considered good form
for any one except servants. The child,
iiO"SFSiD oliOulu DC taught ~ dill
swer, mo, father" or eyes, mother"
or Thank you, Mrsr. Brown" (2)
Contradictions are never becoming in
children. However, the child, if old
enough to take part in a conversation
should be allowed his own opinions.
If he does not agree with something
which is said, he may say, 81 beg
your pardon, but" CD Engraved
invitations are seldom, if ever, used
for child's party. The mother should
write the invitation, which may be
sent to the child or the child's mother.
Below are two forms-one to be sent
to the child, and the other to the
mother.
