Ann Harding and Harry Bannister
are the most doting parents in all the
colony. Their friends are getting
hearty laugh out Of letter received by
the two recently:

with electric light, overstuffed furni-

such makeshift attentions.
And when Harry Langdon looked into
the matter of what was and was not
censorable for comedy use recently he
found out that the barred actions in

attack. It taught me a sound lesson.
Up to that time. had always believed,

my own practice, that it was better to
wait say 48 hours, before deciding to
operate in acute appendicitis. MY own

Tonsils We Have Removed.

One Mother Says
Little Bobby'S mother has an effec-
tive method of making the lad pick
up his toys after he is done with them.
One day he refused to gather up his
blocks and other toys. Mother did not
insist and make q scene. Instead she
quietly gathered them up and placed
them on shelf where Bobby could
see them but not reach them.
When he went for his nap 1t might
have seemed to him that he had gained
the victory. He had not picked up
the toys and mother had. When he
came back from his nap, however, he
found out differently. For several days
he was not allowed to have the TOYS
that he refused to pick up, and all
the while they remained In plain sight
on the shelf. Afterward there was
no trouble In getting him to put his
toys in his own ''ox where he could
get them at will.
