Whatever you do, do it reioicingly.

ing / see i'm this text. 1t corresponds
with motto we hear much talked of
In the modern business world-Service
With a Smile
In recent years good many such
notices as this have come into vogue
in the business world. We think these
notices are very modern, but they can
all be traced back to the Bible-at
least SO far as the business philosophy
they teach is concerned.
What became of that old crab who
used to be conductor on this train?"
1t was a passenger. talking with
supervising agent of the road. who
asked that question. The conductor
referred to was a true and faithful
employe, was zealously attentive TO
his duties. But he failed to realize
that a smile in dealing with the pub
lie is an invaluable asset. and his fail

the impression created.
A star motion picture comedian has

You may not be able to sell your smile

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Mrs. II, +. n. writes:
II read your column daily and 1t
is a great help. / nurse my five-
monthsold boy. l give him cereals,
graham crackers with water, orange
| Juice with water and just plain water.
He doesn't care for these. He likes
to bite at a peeled apple. Is this all
right?
II gave him tomato juice and he
broke out with a rash which the doc.
tor says was eczema. 1t can be
healed with the salve he gave me, but
it breaks out in some other place. If
this goes all over his body will he
! have it every year for seven years?
HE sucks his thumb: when shall
| I break him of this? / haven't
weighed him, but / know that he Is
gaining. He wakes up five and six
| times at night. Is one.half teaspoon
| full of cod liver oil three times a day
too much for him."
| Answer-First of all you need the
| feeding leaf1et. the cod liver oil one.
and the one on thumb-sucking and
eczema. The answers to your dues-
| tions are in those and / shall he
happy to send them to you for self
addressed and stamped envelope.
/ III you knew the baby's present
| weight you would have some better
idea of what is causing him to refuse
new foods; and also to wake up FIVE
and six times at night. The answer
may he overfeeding. Ii you know
that tomato juice caused the eczema,
then to cure 1t omit giving the baby
tomato Juice. Eczema is caused by
something in the diet which is wrong
for particular baby. A child won't
have this il this particular element is
taken out of his diet, and think you
must have confused your ideas about
eczema with something else. There
is no reason why the child should ever
have it again providing you can
straighten out his diet Sometimes it
is difficult to find out what Is causing
the eczema, and in a few cases, 1t is
milk itself. so that feeding the child
becomes an exceedingly difficult
matter
Break the thumb sucking now, or
else adjust his diet so he doesn't need
his thumb. 1t is just possible that
cereal. in too large quantities, just at
| first may be causing the eczema. Start
with tiny amounts of the cod liver oil
and work up to the larger amount.
/ don't think he needs to bite on an
apple. He might possibly bite off
chunk that would choke him. Apple
juice or scraped apple Is good for
constipation.

in the archives of my kingdom.
Now l command, gentlemen, that
you set to work again and write me
a shorter history-abridged, and re.
duced to length more in keeping
with the shortness of a mans life"
So the scholars went to work once
more, and they worked for 90 years
longer. Then they again sought the
presence Of the King, bringing load
of 1.500 volumes carried by three
sturdy camels.
Sire" said the spokesman, I'VE
have brought you our new work. We
feel that we have omitted nothing
that is really essential"
The King again listened gravely.
and when the spokesman had finished
made this reply:
II agree that what you say is prob
ably true-but still have not time to
read what you have written. Again.
/ am score of years older than when
you began work on this shorter his
tory. The labor of condensation
seems to have been as great as that
of compilation in the first place.
Gentlemen, ! am now old. Such
an undertaking as reading 1900 huge
volumes would little suit my age.
Therefore, leave your work for the
archives. Then depart, go to work
once more and write me an even
shorter history-and this time do 1t
as fast as you can, for the years lie
heavy upon me-"
The scholars. indeed, lost no time.
They cut their former period in half
in just 10 years they had completed
the new history. They came to the
palace. followed this time by a. young
elephant carrying only 500 volumes.
Sire, here Is the new history
third as long as the other. We are
proud that we have been so brief"
you are to be commended" said
the King ''but still you have not
been brief enough. l am almost at
the end of my life, gentlemen. There.
fore, you must shorten still more
cut and cut and cuff you wish that
l should learn, ere I die. the story of
human 1ife."
Five years later. exactly. the schol.
ars had their new work ready. One
man took it to the King. leading an
ass carrying one huge tome upon his
back.
Hurry" the man was told. "The
King is dying"
1t was true. The King even then
lay upon his deathbed. He looked at
the scholar and the large book and
sighed. The light in his eyes faded
He moaned and said:
Alas. I shall die without learning
the history of mankind"
But the aged scholar stepped for
ward to speak.
Sire" he said, II shall sum up the
history of mankind for you In only
seven words. 1t is this:
Men are born-they suffer-they
die
Thus 1t was that the aged King OF
Persia. rather late in life, learned the
history of mankind.
