Snatching a meal in a few minutes

that makes many Individuals prema

to establish the arbitrary rule that
every one shall remain at table at
least twenty minute whether he
needs that much time to eat or not
This rules Is an excellent one In the
health training of children. . Every
member of the family must not only
remain at table twenty minutes, but
of course must be clean and properly
dressed and use good manners while
eating.
