Most parents do not realize that
children are copycats. If they did
we would have one of the greatest
reformations In all history, for
fathers and mothers would know
that it is not enough to, tell their
youngsters that they must be good,
they would know that they have to
set them an example.
For baby does not arrive In the
world with a manual of correct be-
havior in its hand. It doesn't know
right from wrong, or any OF the
answers. 1t is a plastic little crea-
ture, ready to take any impression
and so, as its father and mother are
the people with whom it is brought
in the most intimate contact, it ma
turrally initiates them.
Strangely enough, this is fact in
1child-rearing that most parents fail
to take into consideration. They
want their children to love and ad-
mire them, to have good principles
and good manners and to be able to
get along amicably with others, and
to this end they are always lecturlng
them about their conduct. But they
do not set themselves up as models
l. for their youngsters to go by.
Now preaching to children is a
waste of breath. Warnings and ad-
monitions go in one ear and out OF
the other. They have to have some
pattern constantly before their eyes,

TRAVEL WITH TR1PLETs.

For Mrs. 3. M. F. The following
suggestions are culled from our ex-
periences during an 1900 mile vaca-
tton trip made last summer Our
children were 21a and 51a at the
time.
Put away some of their toys
about a month before the trip. I
packed some things In box and
discovering" the contents was part
Of the game.
Regardless of the direction of the
trip, knit clothes that require no
ironing are a must. They may be
rinsed out at night and probably be
ready for the next day. It's wonder
full to arrive without a supply of
dirty clothes.
Take rubber sheets. Tourist homes
appreciate it.
A box of arrow cookies, used dis
creetly, will relieve some moments
of tension.
Have a small pillow for each baby
q light blanket for each helps, too.
Take a half gallon jar of soda
water and some cotton Cor cheese
cloth cut into handy lengths) for
any car sickness. Sponging the sick
baby, his clothes, or mattress with
soda water will clean and deodor-
tze.
Keep a thermos full Of drinking
water, paper cups, paper handker-
chiefs, disposable diapers df
needed, and band aids in the front
seat.
Set no time limit If possible and
stop for maps If the babies won't
sleep while the car is moving. We
tried to have meals, ETC., at nearly
the same time as we did at home.
