One of the chief points of friction in families is the difference of opinion on the subject of discipline for misbehavior. We feel that for the matter to be handled consistently it should be left to one individual, either the father or the mother. If the other members of' the family disagree, they should aif their criticisms outside the hearing of the child. How can any child feel he is getting fair treatment When the various adults of the family can’t decide themselves what is wrong and what is right? In homes where there is more than one adult in charge, any adult assumes the opposite position to the parent. It the parent is severe, the opposing adult is lenient, and vice versa. In the end this is probably better for the child than too much severity or too much leniency, but it isn’t consistent treat- ment. side is going to be uppermost, so that instead of being reasonable his behavior is just playing one side against the other, doing as he pleases and hoping for the best. - In this mixed-up household, where three adults reign, there is an‘even worse situation. In fact a worse one, from the standpoint of the child, could hardly be concocted if it were arranged purposely. Here is & 2%%-year-old child with a all differing as to the treatment. The special grievance is the aunt, who ad- ministers punishment when the mother is out of sight. Mrs. T. M. says in part: “I live with my mother-in-law and another son's wife lives there! too. I do hot believe in spanking, but as soon as my back is turned she takes advantage of my absence to spank my little girl. When- ever I come home from down town the child tells me she has been spanked for something or other.” Possibly the aunt feels that if she has the care and responsibility of the child when you are gone she also has the right of managing the discipline. To give your child the kind of treat- ment you consider fair, there are three courses open to you: Take care of her yourself all the time and don't ask others to be responsible for her. Hire some one else to look after her when you are away. Maqve into your own home. The last is by far the most de- sirable of all. Then you can manage the child your own way. Children need to learn that older persons are in smuthotity over them, but _there are all kinds of pline— spanking is_just one of them, and un- desirable. Perhaps you lndm_fle)f aunt might both see this subject more clearly if you read wmeminml;aut it. You are probably pretty si yourself on methods of discipline.

Lols weighed her and found that she was just a little under weight. That was not to be won- dered at, since she had beeh a diffi- cult feeding case from the start. She had started out by being breast fed, but on doctor’s orders this had had to be changed. She was now getting six feedings a day, one at 6 In the morning, the next at 9:30, then at 1, 4:30, 8 and at 11:30. She had a teaspoon of orange julce | daily. Sometimes Lois gave her strained prune juice or tomato juice in place of the orange juice. She attempted to make her small daughter accustomed to various kinds of liquids so that she would not make a great fuss when one had to be substituted for another. The prune juice was made by cooking | prunes in unsweetened water until they were soft and then putting them through a puree sieve. All of the liquids were served at the same temperature as the bottle of milk. In this way she found that baby Ann Winter days were coming and the sun was staying out of sight for longer the baby’s diet. Her doctor told he: to get the cod liver oil put up by re liable firms, Much of that which is on the market has lost its ability to take the place of sunshine. Frequently Lois gave Ann the cod liver oil when she was having her bath. In this way any drops which were spill- ed found their way into the tub. It was much easier to clean this than it was wear and . (Copyright, 1930.)

The doubling feature of bridge has been adapted to modern backgammon. In backgammon the first double raises the value of a game from 1 to 2, the second makes it 4, the third 8, and 50 on. Doubles are either automatic or op- tional. ‘The automatic double occurs in cast- ing for the lead. If the players throw a tie, the score for that game auto- matically doubles. Successive ties continue to double the score, and since ties may be thrown repeatedly, automatic doubles are usu- ally limited to three in one game. Some prefer to omit them entirely. The optional double occurs during play. Either player may propose the first double at any time by saying be- fore casting the dice, “I double” It his opponent accepts, the game pro- ceeds with the score doubled. If he declines, the game is immedi- ately forfeited to the doubles and scored as it stands. The player who doubled first may not_double again until after a double by his opponent. The privilege of dou- bling alternates thus throughout the game. Doubles may be proposed at any point, but always just before casting. Any number of doubles may be made, ‘They mount up rapidly, the fifth dou- ble making the game worth 32 and the tenth 1,024. More than four or five in a game are rare. A gammon automatically doubles and a backgammon triples the final score. Chouette. ‘When three persons play, each throws one die at the start. On a tle they throw again, but auto- matic doubles do not begin until actual play starts. 7 ‘The cne throwing the highest nuim- ber plays “in the box,” or la chouette, against the other two and either wins the amount of the game from each of the others or losses it to each. ‘The one throwing second high plays against him at the board as “active partner,” and low becomes “Inactive partner.” The inactive partner takes no physi- cal part, but may advise the active partner freely as to playing, doubling, accepting or declining doubles, and so on. The active partner must himself make or decline doubles, however, In case of disagreement as to either dou- ble or play, the active partner's deci- | sion is final. The inactive partner may decline a double, even though the active partner accepts it. In such case he forfeits to the active partner. the score at the mo- | | ment and retires. The active partner | DAILY DIET RECIPE BALMON WITH ORANGE.
