/ know a woman who, the mo-
ment her small son awakes from
his nightly sleep or his afternoon
nap, abandons every task, and
every diversion she might enjoy,
to play with him. Anything she
wants to do has to be accomplished
while the child sleeps. Sonny re-
fuses fatty to play unless mother
plays with him. 1t is a wise thing
for a mother to take some small
portion of her day to play with her
child, thus gently mOlding his
thoughts and aims and ambitions
along the right lines, but 1 feel
that it is not only mist ke for
the mother, but for the child as
we'll, when he becomes so condi-
toned to playing with mother that
he cannot amuse himself any
longer.
1t all began with a handicap
which is not unsuaI to many
mothers of the present day, that
of living in cramped quarters and
of having very few playmates of
Sonny's age available as compan-
ions. From the moment Sonny
hurled spoon on the floor and en-
joyed its bang upon landing. until
he acquired kiddie car, he had
to consider the neighbors. Every

Thousands Of statements have
been received from reliablB people
testifying to the merits OF MillerS
Herb Extract. formerly called Herb
Juice. The one printed here was
given by Mr.. T. A. Holman. OF 60T
New Jersey Ave. N. W., who has
resided in. Washington for the past
three years. In giving his state
inent, he said: 81 think the Herb
Extract Is one Of the greatest medi.
cines I ever used and advise every
one in q run down condition TO give
this remedy trial. Before used
it was. so to speak, all out Of
shape and in rundown condition.
I was very nervous, could not sleep
or rest properly at night and when
morning came I felt all tagged out.
l was always constipated, had to
take a strong laxative and food
ate would not digest properly,
seemed to lay in my stomach to
sour and ferment, gas formed and
I had a great deal of indigestion
pains. / saw so much in the papers
about this remedy that / made up
my mind to try one bottle and il
sure proved to be just as advertised.
I never had anything to help me
like it did and before had used
all of the first bottle I could feel
myself improving in every way
Bowels now move regularly. food no
longer causes gas or Indigestion
pains. rest well at night and feel
greatly improved in every way. II
any Of my friends want further
information regarding Millers Herb
Extract will be glad to give il to
them. You don't need any pills
with this medicine: it's q real medi-
cine within itself--guaranteed to
give results. A medicine you can
take three or four bottles without
seeing any results Is not much medi-

Courtesy Hath Its Charm

and never have I encountered
youngsters with not only such
manners but such a manner! Not
that they were in the least prig-
gish; indeed their exquisite natural
ness was their charm, but it was
a graceful naturalness. Actually
those children seemed to possess
an instinct of tact far beyond
any 1 have found excepting upon
the earest of occasions among
grownups.
OF course their mother was
proud of them. though much too
: wise to let them see it. And
when I insisted upon knowing
something about her method of
training she finally agreed to
demonstrate at least a part of it
for me.
You understand that it's
private process, really" she ex-
planned. You'll be the first guest
to watch it in operation"
Accordingly I was much more
than politely interested when we
sat down to- dinner-the mother
and father and myse1f-to see. a
small table, carefully laid out in
exact imitation of the family
table. in one corner of the room.
1t was at this smaller table that
Jack at Betty dined, served ex.
actly as we were and with as
much dignity as attended our
meal.
And / soon saw that for them
dinner was quite as much as so.
cial occasion as 1t was for us.
Jack carefully helped Betty in a
way which showed the most thor.
ough training, and Betty received
his help like a little society
queen.
Also they kept up a dinner
table chatter which was far from
uninteresting. And If this con-.
versation languished for too long
a period a single word from
mother set it going again, cover
ing all sorts of current events
having to do with their school,
young affairs of the rneighborhood
and their interests about the.
house.
Thy have been going through
this training since they were four
and six" the mother told me
later. TT is the biggest part of
their social education, too. for
believe the table manner is the
basis for all manners
