This explains why 50 many persons afflicted
with one or another of the speech difficulties are
not cured or, if cured, do not remain so. when
only speech exercises have been employed.
In suffering the sufferer has difficulty in
pronouncing syllables and there is a h~esitancy
and hating Of speech Many varieties of speech
difficulty come under this heading.
Sometimes the person finds suddenly that he
cannot speak at all, that he cannot begin the
flow of speech, or he hesitates in the course of a
sentence and is unable to 60 on. Often, after q
then his words gush out all at once in quick

Let no otner DaDy meet sucn a 1aIe! IL Is
needless disaster. No baby should sleep in the
bed of the mother. 1t is cruelty of the first
degree to permit such a thing.
Just because a baby is such a tiny thing you
may overlook the importance of air space. You
may imagine it is all right to tuck it away in
the corner of the bed.
But because it is so tiny and frail you must
take the greatest pains to guard it from harm.
You must make sure it gets all the pure air it
must have if it is to be well and strong.
"A baby born into a home of six rooms has
three times the chances to live that a baby has
born into a lone of two rooms. This is a state
ment founded on studies made a few years ago.
The larger home has more air space. The
baby isn't tucked away in a corner. There is
room for all the other members Of the family
