He loves his ! bath, but it is just war every time I dress him. He.was 11 months old the 15th of September and weighs 20%; pounds. He has six teeth and is start- ing to walk. “I have trouble also getting him to sit still in his high chair at feeding | time. He wants to stand up and eat. I have tried to curb this by refusing to feed him, but he gets so tired and sleepy and he doesn't want to eat at all. We adopted our baby when he was 7 months old and perhaps we are too lenient with him. He is so beautiful and we love him so. Il be very grateful i’ yow'll tell me how to handle this problem, Mrs. Ele > When dressing the baby it is helpful to give him some small -object in his hands to keep him occupied so he for- gets that he is being forcibly held in one position. His own little shoes, a ball or a large piece of paper to rattle, a chain of stout safety pins linked or large, wooden buttons strung on a stout cord are all interest- ing to the small child. If you keep any one of these for use just at the time you are dressing or charging him and its appeal will remain constant. Self-feeding is the kind of activity which will prevent the child’s desire to stand up in the high chair when being fed.

It was quite dark in the back shed as Mother Brown opened the door from the kitchen and came out with a sau- cer of milkk and a te of food for Black Pussy. Black followed her as far as the doorway. There she stopped. , Mother Brown put the two dishes on the floor and then turned to discover that Black Pussy had not fol- lowed her out into the shed. “I thought you were hungry,” said Mother Browy. “You've given me no peace with your mln& for something to eat. Now come out here and get it. I've given you enough for two cats.” “Meow!” said Black Pussy and, arch- ing her back, she rubbed against the doorpost. But she did not come out into the shed. Mother Brown lost pa- tience. She gave Black Pussy a push out into the shed and shut the door. For a moment Black Pussy stood listen- ing. There was no sound. She reached forward for a mouthful of that good supper and, as she did so, Jimmy Skunk suddenly stepped up. Bl Pussy gave one look, turned and shot out through the little round doorway that led out of doors. Jimmy calmly walked over and began eating. It was & good supper. It was a vely good lnm and there was plenty of it. Jimmy 't hurry. He took his time. He ate and ate until there was npthing left. He even licked the plate clean. Then he turned to the saucer of milk and drank and drank until there was none left. He licked out the saucer. He smacked his lips. He looked up at the door to the kitchen. “I'm much obliged for my supper,” said he, as if Mother Brown could hear him. Then, instead of trying Black Pussy's hed again, he went out through the little round doorway and ambled back home. Such a big meal made him feel sleepy.

Not long ago, in a discussion of the small borrower with an official of a per- sonal finance company, we were some- what surprised at a statement he made. It was to the effect that people had to borrow because few of them can save money for emergency purposes. The fact that surprised us was that it would cost 36 per cent a year in interest to borrow from tbis particular finance company. In order to borrow $200 you would have to pay $72 & year. If you could find ‘the $72 for the privilege of bor- rowing $200, isn't it fair to assume that you can put away that same $72 for your own uses? It is even fair to assume that you could put away more than $72. You could put away exactly $272. If you could not, then neither this finance company not any other would lend you money. It should be easy for any woman to I.L:.ny argument company alone lends money to over 100,000 families in a year, and that in the past year many finance companies loaned out their entire capital, we took rt. Under sensible guidance and unbiased counsel the American housewife and family can save. If they can save by dint of necessity they can save because it will contribute many factors of hap- piness to the home. Any. wife or husband who can pay 36 per cent on a loan and repay the loan at the same time can save money. And, having saved money, she or he will never be forced to borrow again at such disadvantageous terms. Au Gratin Potatoes.
