ROAMING THE AIR WAVES

Does your child like to play hop scotch on the living room rug, beat drum while you're relaxing over the evening paper and put frogs in your bed at night?
 If so, you've got a Baby Snooks in your family! Assuming that, here are some rules on raising the little darling" laid down for any such un- fortunate father, by the worlds most harassed parents - Baby Snooks' Daddy (Hanley Stafford of the Good News of 1889" program, heard over the NBC-Red Network each Thursday.
 1. Always let the child have her own way. It may cost few broken dishes or cause vicious headache, but it'll save lots of wear and tear on the hair brush. You'll need that to eep your gray hair in place.
 2. Take her down to the office once in a while Y. that is, if you don't care much about your job. She'll be big help in filing your papers Gall over the foor). It may increase her sense of responsibil- ity," even if it may decrease yours.
 3. If you want her to grow up to be loving housewife" someday, let her wash the dishes if you're planning to get new set soon.
 4. Sociability, you know, must be instilled into her, too. So, take her to movie where she can meet other people. She won't watch the pie ture, and you won't watch the pie ture, and you won't get a chance to, but she'll focus her mischievous attentions on someone else for change. Nine times out of ten, it'll be a tough guy and it'll give you chance to practice up on your box ing lessons.

 for Marvellous Relief.
 "There is hardly anything I eat now that disagrees with my stomach since took your splendid medi- cine" declared Mrs. Anni Heilman of 102 Locust St., Waterbury, whose husband is employed as Machinist at the Waterbury Brass Foundry, in recent conversation with the Ven- dol Man in Apothecaries Hall Go.
 Before I took Vendol, nearly everything I ate seemed to disagree with me and hardly knew what it was to eat a meal but that in about two hours my stomach would begin to churn and grumble with gas, which caused terrible pains all through it. Hot. acid risings would rise up and felt as though it burned my throat raw. The gas was often SO bad it made me short of breath and caused a full, heavy, bloated feeling after eating.
 T was troubled with constipation all the time and this was the cause of all my ailments. Many times felt so dizzy, nervous and weak I would just have to sit down and let my housework go. I hardly knew what it was to get 8 restful nights sleep, and I most always awakened with a headache and feeling tired out.
 "Vendol was so highly recom- mended for these troubles that I got some and also a box of the Vendol laxative tablets, and I've never had such splendid relief from any medi-
