Raquet's Fear

Listen, angel. That old dodo'S
got a mama on the ship. And
he was with me. You don't

you can take home to the fam
lily, do you?"
What did you do?"

dug. He asked me how much it
was worth, and I said / didn't
know, but the jeweler said sev-

me these few little tokens, and

tell, but go and have the ermer-

Unfair Treatment
Unfair? Sure it's unfair! But
it's a habit most families have.
And how does it come about?
It comes about because we let
it come about. Alice.
If you sit around and ex-
pect fairness to be handed to
you, gratis, sister, you're just
out Of luck. You'll have to
fight for your rights, with any
bunch Of humans. And families
are no exception.
I'll admit that your brother-in-
law and his wife are getting by
with murder. But you're letting
them. And you're getting ex-
actly the sort of treatment that
SpineleSs people always get.
It's very noble of you to take
in this old man, but there's no
reason why others shouldn't
share that nobility, and it's your
business to see that they do.
Ten years ago, when the prob
lem first started, the whole
family should have come to a
friendly but firm agreement as
to his care. That care should
have been distributed between
all of you. But you didn't come
to that agreement. It seemed
easier to drift than to make
definite rules. And now you're
paying for your drifting. And
you'll continue to pay until you
snap yourself out of it and stage
a little constructive action, in
stead of a lot Of tears and poutS.
People will step on you as
long as you let 'em. And that
goes for a million other families,
as well as your Alice.

They do that to Alice.

Brushing the teeth does more

gums, keeping them red and
healthy. It removes chemical
deposits left by sweets and

Never fail to brush the teeth at
