Here's how to take the worry out of child care It's not a simple job to raise a healthy, happy baby. When baby is cranky and irritable you fret and worry — and then you can't do a good job.

Here is your opportunity to get expert advice from someone who really knows about babies and small children.

Dr. Dafoe gives you valuable suggestions for preventing diphtheria, infantile paralysis, smallpox, scarlet fever, tuberculosis and other common ailments. He also discusses the nervous child, the shy child as well as jealousy in children. Dr. Dafoe tells you how to care for your children, year-by-year, from the very first year through the fifth year.

POETRY (Continued from page 76) 94 Name Please Print Name and Address Address TO WHISKERS McTAVISH A Scottish gentlemen with a short life but a long personality A touseled head with ears alert for news And curiosity four times your size, A speaking tail which radio'd a world The sentiment of keen appraising eyes. Scotch as your name and canny in your love When once you gave, it was no niggard's share And we who knew you best find memory Poor substitute upon your empty chair. Whiskers McTavish, gentleman and friend. Though all too brief your span of life might be. From that canine Elysium where you frisk. Look back and say, "They still remember me!" — Alice R. McKeon FLOOR WHACKS I'll convince her some day, I expect. Despite her conservative views. That she'll get the same startling effect By waxing the soles of my shoes! — Leonard K. Schiff VINTAGE— AGED Memories Steeped in time ' Become a mellow brew; And so, like thick rich wine Grown ancient, Are a sweet And satisfying liquor To soothe A parched and throbbing palate Grown feverish with Loneliness. — Eugene White THE ORGAN GRINDER 'Is he a brigand? or a movie clown? Bandannaed, mustachios, pomaded hair, Fierce twinkling eyes that squint as he leans down To grind his organ's rusty ballad fare. How do you do, dear Mr. Yesterday; Your chained grimacer, doffing cap for coins Thrown by these shouting boys, cannot unsay The fact that you have stepped from ancient loins: Perhaps the last — the lonely troubador Who once "neath ivied casement tuned the lute"; Perhaps besatined bard who sang before Prince Chivalry in storybooks now mute: Romance, why wander wastes of cynic earth? We sigh or smile: Is that all beauty's worth? — Cullen Jones VERMONT TONGUE Here in our granite hills our words are rocky, Like stones that push up through old pasture sod; A fat man, here, is not obese — he's "stocky," And no one is insane, but merely "odd." We "set" our bread, and "knock" a cake together, We "make it do" by piecing, "eke" it out; To speak of "mares' tails" is to speak of weather, We don't surmise — we "guess" if half in doubt. To us, no one's courageous, he is "gritty," We "purge" and "trudge," we "pinch" and "stomp" and "plunk"; We do not use the pretty term "woods kitty," But call the creature — or the man — a "skunk." Although we do say that our brooks "meander," We rarely use such soft words hereabout . . . Our stony talk should not arouse men's "dander" It's the granite in our blood stream cropping out. — Gertrude Lyon Sylvester "Qlo (niaQe-C^Bekeve QL-d" say thousands of regular listeners to radio's "My True Story".
