JEALOUS CHILD

JEALOUS CHILD
mrs. F. H. T., Washington
For Mrs. w. L. H. Perhaps
the experience we have had
with a similar problem (twice)
will be of help to you.
When our second child was
born, we suffered a great deal
from the first child's jealousy
for about a year and a half! !
have since come to the conclu-
sion that the solution In our
family at least, lies in giving
the older child the mothers
undivided love and affection
for at least part of every day.
When our third daughter. now
six months old, arrived, the
second child went through a
rather violent reaction. even
though we tried all the ac-
cepted methods suggested by
baby books and writing of
child psychologists. She re-
verted to bed-wetting, thumb
sucking and even refused to go
outdoors to play for fear Of
my being "locked" cher own
word) in the house with the
baby. We were at our wits
end until she happened to
break her thumb in a fall. The
get-well cares and extra atten-
ton which she received from
every one in the family and
from her grandparents and
friends did the trick. We are
now completely rid Of that old
bogeyman. Jealousy.
I do think it is a very preva-
lent and important problem
which many parents refuse,
either knowingly or unknow-
ingly, to recognize. I feel it is
a normal reaction for a child
to go through, although ap-
parently if he has experienced
it once, future siblings are
taken in stride.

TO REMOVE STUMPS
mrs. w. S. c.. Washington
In answer to the request
sent in by Mrs. c. w. H..
Hyattsville, here is an article
I cut from The Star at least
i've years ago.
"In autumn, bore a hole l
or 2 inches in diameter. &C
cording to the girth of the
stump, vertically in the center
of the stump, about Is inches
deep. Put in / or 2 ounces of
saltpeter. Fill the hole with
water and plug up to close.
."In the following spring,
spring, take out the plug, pour
In about " gallon of kerosene
and ignite it. The stump will
shoulder away to the very ex-
tremities of the roots, leaving
nothing but ashes"

VEAL SCALLOPINI?
SAUERBRATEN?
mrs. J. p. B., ArltngtonI
Does anyone have a good
recipe for veal scallopini and
for sauerbraten?
A suggestion for the woman
with many family pictures to
display. We rotate three or
four at a time under the glass
top of our desk. A glass COW
cred coffee table would work
just as well. In this way you
can change the pictures fire.
