CHILD PROBLEM,
(ThdnkS to Mrs. w. r. B.,
W0Sh;nnfo,,


To Mrs. H. A. s. of Arlington, re-
earding her child's refusal to play
alone without crying. I had the
same experience with my child
screaming and working himself up
so he seemed near collapse from
sheer fatigue. This happened at
night when he was brought in from
play and put to bed. I tried every
thing to no avail and finally asked
my doctor if it would make the child
sick or injure him in any way to
let him cry it out. He said it would
not and was just what he needed.
The first night it lasted an hour
and half. and when he finally fell
asleep his clothes were soaking
wet, from perspiration and he still
sobbed. I'll admit I had a few
pangs of conscience. But my doctor
had reassured me he would not
hurt himself. That lasted for three
nights and then no more crying.
1t really didn't hurt him either.
In fact I'm sure it hurt me more
having to listen to him. Though
the cause Is not the same, feel
the same thing would solve Mrs.
H. A. SIS problem. If her doctor
approves If her child is badly
spoiled it will take many a cry
ing it out" 7 fear But she is
quite right in seeing the danger of
the child becoming less liked by
people. No one really likes to be
around spoiled children. I make
it rule never to give my child
what he cries for until he has
stopped. For instance. if I put
him in the play pen, and he cries
to get out, in he stays until he
stops, even though it would make
little difference to me If I LOOK
him out. He seldom cries for things
and is perfectly happy, con-
tended child. incidentally, he
plays alone hours at time, even
laughing aloud. 1 think it's very
important children learn to amuse
themselves. 1t makes for happier
adults as we'll as happier children.
HOW TO RETIRE.
(ThdnkS to Mrs. H. W, Washington }
Try wrapping the furniture
wheels with few rounds of black
plumbers tape. l used this to
deaden the very loud noise made
by wheels of some metal compost
ton on a doll carriage. It was ef-
fective and the tape stayed on.

CANARY CARE.

To Mrs. j. w. L., Alexandria, on
canary care: My bird book tells me
that when canary is apparently
healthy but does not sing he Is suf-
fering from one of the most COM
mon ailments of canaries in homes
today. This is caused by feeding
the bird poor foods or an inferior
diet lacking important vitamins and
food elements necessary<to main
tain song vitality This also can
be caused by asthma or mites. or
allowing bird to waste the rape
seeds (small dark round grains). l
hope that this will be Of help.

S. A. M.
Dampness and mildew are likely
to be problem anywhere in Wash
ington A liquid now available, de-
signed to kill mildew and also to
prevent its growth, should prove the
solution. It's very economical zone
bottle may be diluted to make many
gallons of the liquid and it may be
applied by brushing, spraying or dip
ping. The walls, floors and ceiling
curtains, upholstery, home furnish
ings and clothing may be brought
under its protective wing without
any i'll effects on the materials from
the liquid. A little added to sprin-
king water prevents mildew from
appearing on clothes when there is
delay between sprinkling and
ironing.
There are also several other prod
ucts designed to eliminate damp
ness and mildew One in particu-
lar, processed in cake form. is quite
effective. Remove the top from the

solicited in Yuma, to bring his
total up to S9,125. The districts

SALES BOOSTED
While this small district went

School children of Imperial coun-
ty, with a record as the best war
bond and stamp statesmen in the

Enthusiastically into the Fourth War
Loan drive by coordinating their
Schools At War program with the
main campaign.
Mrs. Florence Finney, head of
the Schools AT War program in
Imperial county, Friday was
swamped with plans of the various
schools for putting their names on
bombers. The school or group of
schools selling enough bonds to pay
for a bomber will get a plaque for
their school and one with the
schools name on it will be placed
in the plane.

Many rural schools are prepar-
ing to Join the nationwide Treasure
Hunt for untitled stamp books.
They will work to get these bookI
filled and turned into series E

all in the war effort.
Brawley, Holtville, and Calexico

name-a- bomber drive, Mrs. Finney
said. Holtville schools were the
first to organize for this drive, and
are well on their way toward the
necessary sum for purchase OF a
plane to bear their names. They
are working to purchase a Cornell
training plane. Up to January 26
the Holtville elementary schools
had purchased sl68.30 worth of
stamps and S13,472 worth of bonds.
