FOR TIP. TOP DADS

Boys go where you go, not where you tell
them to go. That's why the devil is so
everlastingly busy.
A boy is like an iceberg, only a little of him
shows the real boy is out of sight wait
ing for some explorer.
Every boy needs plenty of Dos. Dont's are
the frost that nips many a promising crop
in the bud.
All a boys heroes aren't necessarily saints,
but action must be their middle name in
every case if he is to worship ardently.
Sermons that hike and play ball and go fish
ing and eat three real meals a day are the
sort boys most enjoy.
A little real eomradeship is worth library
full of exbortations to most boys. There
may be sermons in stones; that's likely
why boys insist on throwing them at
every passing cat.
The things boys need most must be caught :
the same as measles and chicken pox.
The SOFT of goodness that counts is in
variably contagious. The innoculation is
a herman.
One Dad was too busy TO give his boy any
time, so the boy gave his Dad "a "time"
instead. Queer, isn't it?
A Dad is an admirable party to be a parent,
but it can't be done by proxy, no matter
how thick the check book.

This musical comedy Of the side
