Do You Worry

Your Children?

AMONG every group of children

there are some who do not smile as readily as they should. Apparent- ly they are in good health and are well fod, but their faces in repose bear a hard and worried look which will become fixed unless we find p reason and a remedy,

The real reason of this harassed

Let Him Help You

A child soon shows a desire for helping his mother, who will if she is wise, encourage him, even though at first his efforts are more of a hindrance than actual assistance, for It is really the psychological moment when the helping instinct should be formed.
