Should Children be Spared the Burden of House- workZL-Cania Wife Win Back Her Bachelor- Minded Husband - The Kind of Girl That , Modern Men Like

Dear Miss Dix-I am a poor woman with a large family, and as we can't’ afford to keep any help I do all of the housework. I overwork, and the doctor says that I must not do so much. Now I have a. daughter Just Ell- tering her teens, but I do not want her to have the hard life that I have had, so I don't make her do any of the chores. The hardships of life come soon y enough and I want her to spend her youth in play and pleasure, not in working. What is your idea?‘

MOTHER.

Answer:

I think you are vlwong, and that it will be better for you, and far better for the girl herself, if you will let her help you with your work.

Your spirit of sell-sacriﬁce is beautiful, but it is unwise and like most sacriﬁces, it will be a boomerang that \Vlll return to annihilate you. For if you slave and let your daughter idle; if you do with- out everything to give to' her, you will not only nlakc her selﬁsh, you Will teach her to put you below herself and despise you.

Believe me. it is not the mothers who work themselves to death for their children and who sacrifice everything for their children vmom their children

~ admire and reverence and appreciate. On the contrary, the adored mothers

are those who put themselves up on a pedestal and make their children serve them.

I have known many mothers who have gone shabby in order to dress their daughters like the Queen of Sheba, and the only resizlt was that the girls were ashamed of nlama. I have known mothers to \'.'0'.'k themselves into nervous prostrrltion cooking and scrubbing and dlshwashzng so flint their daughters might kecg) their hands beautifully lilanfcurctl, and ill. ordered mama around Ike n. servant and complained of thc way sh: C...l up their silk lingerie and because she always snlcllcd oi the cooking.

So, if you want to ruin your daughter and teach her to have contempt for you, go on doing all of the vlorl: while she loafs. but ll you want he: to

must help mcthcs and save mother.

That won't curtail th: pleasurcs oi he": youth. it will add to them. She will enjoy helping because it will nlake licr feel important and grown up and of use in the world. And that is cbou: the most satisfying feeling that any of us ever get. Besides this, it is a cunous law of nature that the more we do for people the mire we love them.

I think that parents always make a great izzistake ill not milking part- ners of their children and in not. making them iccl that they are real fac- tors in the happiness and success cf the fanlily, and that just as they are cri- titled to share in the good fortunes they should share in the bad.

People are always trying to keep things from children, especfailyiavhc-n there is ﬁnancial misfortune. I think UliS is wrong, and that if lathe; and

mother would talk it oxlcr with the children and explain why they couldn't‘

have a car or go to u. summer camp or have a flew frock or gratify some other desire, it. would take the sting out of the children's disappointment at bzltfg denied their heart's desire and they would acquiesce cheerfully in the sacriﬁces that father and mother were making.

I think from the time children are little tots they should each have til. "

A nice solution for thwse who do; _

lassltude, constipation, irregular ori constant pain in the abdomen and.‘ ' frequently. pain in the back under‘ time right shoulder. . At this stage, onc of two things may‘

‘ happen. Tho first is an attempt at, scli-treatlncnt, buying and using somej

, remedy which promises relief. This is‘- l a serious mistake. The other choice is, ; to consult a physician. It is plain that. the only proper way to treat a person,

family responsibilities, the little jobs that they are capable of doing and til... they should be held responsible for doing. This would not only teach them habits of efficiency, industry and reliability, but it would breed into ti‘. '.‘m a sense of family loyalty. It would make them feel that they had n (ll‘l_',' to the family and must do their part toward making it. n. success. I ivould have children brought up to feel that they must help beautify the home, they must help keep it orderly an and cheerful.

There is no nced f0. a mother with a houscful of children to work her- self to death unless she is .. poor manager and a worse disclplnarian. Even very small children can be taught to Walt upon themselves and to do little chores about the house, and children like to be usefully employed just as much as grown people do. I often visit in a home where there are three boys in their early teens who can cook and serve a beautiful meal. And why shouldn't they? Arc not. the best cooks and waiters men? And these boys adore their mother and are proud ils punch that she can sit lip and entertain company while they get the dinner.

So, poor, tired mother, divide your burden among your children. The

load that many shoulders bear is light for all. DOROTHY DIX.

Treatment of the stomach itself lmay give relief from the symptoms, ibut uless the cause of the trouble is ‘removed, the condition will persist. and likely become worse. i In all cases, it is much better to ;prevent than to attempt to cure. To I prevent indigestion, the right kinds of ifoods should be eaten slowly in pro- l per amounts, meals should be served on clean plates, in an attractive way. under pleasant conditions. Regular toilet habits should be cultivated.

If any abnormal condition is pres- ent, such as diseased teeth, it should be attended to. If this is done, it will save pain, worry and expense, The person who neglects _to take care of himself may get along for years with. out trouble, but trouble will come and he will suffer for his negligence,
