It only takes two or three
times doing a thing and. 10 and
behold, your child seems to
have securely tied into his be-
havior pattern a habit which
must be broken.
It is easy to say, Don't let
a child form bad habits" but
I know as we'll as any one that
it isn't an easy axiom to carry
out. For little habits seem to
crop up over night. Then all
we can do is to patiently and
diligently try to substitute
GOOD habit, a happy habit,
for the bad one.
Many babies take to thumb
sucking and I know Of no sub
stitute which I would feel right
in suggesting for the thumb
sucking habit. That Is just one
of the things which must be
patiently worked at until baby
has forgotten it. It takes time
and watchful care, but Is q
habit which must be broken.
My own baby suddenly formed
a habit which bothered me
considerably. Upon sight OF q
certain relative baby would
hold her breath until she was
blue. } 1t developed that the
j relative in playing with her
had held his breath, puffed out
her cheeks, and "a good time
was had by all"
Presently, however, it became
serious and something had to
be done. So the relative upon
a visit brought two squawkers
of bright red. Putting one to
her lips she blew OUT. nay
2-year-old grasped hers and did
likewise. They had a good
laugh, and the breath-holding
was forgotten. The woman
then suggested something dif-
ferent and funny. and though
the baby did not always blow
OUT on sight of the woman,
she never again held her
breath. That habit was gone.
Habits of personal cleanll-
ness can be taught at a much
earlier age than most people
suppose. Carefully watching
for baby's awakening and Inn

Young George walked quickly

Mike disappeared through an

George strolled over to the

Presently Young George was
startled to see Mike reappear
in the doorway escorting two
young ladies. One, a tall and
stately brunette, was resting a
gloved hand on Mikes arm. 'She

Mr.. A. Matera, Jr., is a druggist

good expectorant, loosens the

of REM is partly due to a special

Children s Bad Habits

more through your tone than
the actual words-by even a
very young baby.
Il never works to harp on a
bad habit, either with young
or older people. The more
you concentrate on something
you wish to stop doing, the
more you long to do it. Put
SOMETHING ELSE in your
mind or your child's mind to
take the place Of the habit you
are trying to abandon.
Bad eating habits can be
slipped into readily with young
children and 1t is especially
hard to correct them. One
hates to say mo" when a little
fellow is hungry. But it is bet
ter for small stomachs to be
filled at regular time. A friend
Of mine has q 4-year-old daugh-
ter who was eating on schedule
until a few weeks ago, when at
4 o'clock each day she begged
for her dinner.
Now her bedtime was at 6,
and the mother knew that a
feeding at 4 would result in
an abnormally early awak .ning
due to hunger, and she was de-
termined to keep the child on
her regular routine. So at filst
she refused food at 4 but Of

she had trouble with bronchial
coughs from time to time. Her
mother tried various things to
relieve her, but didn't get on the
right track until she asked q clerk
in Gaus' Drug Store at Pearl and
Westerlo about REM. He said
it was good for children as well
as grown-ups, and Mrs. Mullins
bought a bottle. REM relieved
Mary's cough at once and she
got a good nights s sleep-the first
for several nights. Mrs. Mullins

Her face with those extra
ordinary emerald eyes, glowed
in the moonlight. She had her
hair parted on the side and it
went rippling in shiny waves
that left her small ears half
exposed. She looked almost
pitifully young with that round
smooth forehead, the small
tilted nose and those curved
half-parted lips.

Mike rubbed the back Of q

bewilderment.
"All right, boss" he said after
some deliberation. "I'll do it as
a favor. But we'll have to use
the old car. I can't get the

"Kayo," said young George.
Now get washed up and well

Mike disappeared through the
door of the garage with young

Presently the large doors OF

What Is more, young George

was attired according to the
latest dictates OF masculine
fashion-"What the young man

And strange as it may sound

intrigued Pat, was already
openly in love.
"Oh," said he one night to
Pat, II wish I'd never done any

you're white like these. Pat,

Pat didn't mind the platitude.
She lifted the flowers and
pinned them with tender delight
on her shoulder. The soft petals
touched her throat; perfume
came in a little drift about her
face. The lilies were so deli
cate; the gardenias so thrill
lingly white.
She stood looking at their
fragile beauty. And at herself.
They lent a touch of ethereal
loveliness to her face; gave her
skin a kind of .Waxy radiance.
Her eyes shone; they were
green glowing stars. Pat ran
her hand dreamily over the
wave of her soft, shiny brown
hair. She thought, almost
with pain:
