To tell the truth, few children have any “company manners,” if such an expression is allowable. They act away from home very much as they are in the habit of acting at home. They have not reached that stage of development where they can smile and bow and say they are having a lovely time when they are bored to death and want to go home. Children are usual- ly honest and outspoken, and it is hard to make them anything else. Also, if they are in the habit of reach- ing across the table for things at home they are going to do it away from home and howl when their moth- We suppose there never was a mother who was not at some time or other embarrassed by the actions of one of her children away from home. Yet some mothers are continually em- barrassed in -this manner and will say to the children after taking them home from a visit to relatives or friends, “What made you act that way? Have you no company man- ners?” the means for the solution of the problem. If this home-work is care- fully supervised by one or the other of the parents, they are given the opportunity to study the child when he is working, and to discover, if pos- sible, the cause of the trouble. Because no member of the family has ever worn glasses is no reason to cover up the needs of the children. We would then urge every parent to con- sider their children’s eyes. If there is any reason to suspect that they are having trouble with them. it is a great injustice to fail to have them attended to immediately. Neglect in this, as‘ .u uua, an well as in othevl: cage; 15 sure to bring disappointment and regret. Inatbention will be the first impres- sion the teacher will receive of him, and his fellow pupils will soon con- sider him stupid, dull or lazy. As the child continues to be outclassed in his schoolroom and his playground activi- ties, a reaction detrimental to his pro- gress is evident. He becomes discourâ€" aged, sullen and ofttimes rebellious. On the teacher’s list he is placed as a stupid child. His parents, if they do not place the blame of .his lack of progress with 'the teacher, try to make amends for this condition by de-‘ manding that he do more home study.‘ This second course may cause even more trouble by creating a greater-l strain on the child. But in it also liesl to see the work at the board clea‘rly, and in his reading the words become jumbled. By his extra effort to see more plainly, he soon becomes tired, bogh mentally a( :l physically. When the child first enters school, this interest in his development na- turally follows. But, if the child enters this new period of his life handicapped by defective vision, dis- astrous consequences are sure to fol- low. In his class work he is unable Every parent follows with great interest each step of development in their children. Baby’s first smile, his first step, the first time he lisps “ma‘mma” or “papa” are memories in every mother’s and father's life which time cannot efl‘ace.

Children always like to know the why of things and they learn little daily habits of courtesy better if they are told why they are asked to do them. Then little stories are made up or games which help drill the little habits into their consciousness. But above everything else, the example of courtesy and kindness set by mother and father will help. ers grab them and pull them back into their chairs none too gently. If they say “please” and “thank you” at home they will say it away from home, un- less overcome with stage fright; or they will run in front of people with- out even saying “excuse me," because they have not had this little act of courtesy trained into them.

I was constantly taking doctor's medicine, but as It did not seem to help me. my mother advised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I got a couple of boxes to start on. When these were done I seemed to feel an improvement and I got a furâ€" ther supply to continue the treatment.
