A mother writes: "Your advice, meticulously followed, cured my son of bed- wetting when one local doc tor, two child specialists and a child psy chiatrist assur ed me he would just have to outgrow it. When I inform ed them of the Br,dT simple method, they all acted as if I'd used an Ouija board and Just happened to get the right answer. Now let's be reasonable about It.

Bed-wetting that persists aft er the child is three years of age or recurs in a child of any age following some acute illness, as it does in many instances, is not a "weakness," nor does' it indi cate kidney or bladder trouble. It is simply a habit and intelli gent management will correct it in most instances. It is not intelligent manage ment to dismiss bed-wetting In a child over three years of age as something the chjld will "out grow." Parents or others who punish a child for wetting the bed ought to be punished for cruelty. Any one who ridicules or shames the bed-wetting child in the presence of another person should be punished too. Usually a child who wets the The Sacramento, Calif., city library has installed a drive-up book return box into which mo torists may return books without leaving their cars.

The auditing agency submitted a formal report to Congress criti cizing the Agriculture Depart ment's Commodity Credit Corp. for its dealings with Cargill Inc., Minneapolis, one of the world's biggest warehouse firms. It said the transactions enabl ed Cargil lto make an extra pro fit of about 10 cents per bushel on from 4,000,000 to 6,000,000 bushels of wheat in 1949. When the accident happens after perhaps a dry night or two, op timism and assurance that we it must always be we shall suc ceed eventually in becoming per manently dry. Many individuals who nor mally sleep until 7 a.m. can wake at 3 or S a.m. on import ant occasions, as to catch an early train. A child, too, may be come similarly responsible for his behavior in sleep. Adults who have not trained themselves to do it are generally incapable of waking at an unusually early time. The bed-wetting child has to acquire the ability to control behavior in sleep by earnest and persevering s e 1 f-discipline or training and can usually do so if the adults who are aware of the child's trouble are not too blank ed ignorant.

De cision on the type of floor, whether concrete or wood, was postponed until next Tuesday when a special meeting will be held to complete the plans and specifications. Robert H. Worrall of West Evans road was a visitor at the meeting and gave a short talk on city improvements, zoning laws and city planning. Council Thanked Fire Chief Gordon Hatch thanked the council for their sup port and told of the advance ment made by the fire depart ment since its reorganization in 1947, and asked if any one knew the whereabouts of either of the old hose carts which were used prior to that time. He stated the firemen would like to have one of the old carts, for display. in discussing the costs of fire equipment, Hatch stated 2V4- inch hose now costs about $2 a foot and life of the hose is five years. He said some of the hose on hand is seven years old and is to be replaced this year. The council voted to pay S1200 for fire protection for the coming year and to purchase 100 feet o hose, a reducer and noz zle, to- be used in washing the streets so it will not be necessary to use equipment from the city fire truck. It was stated the fire men are to move the old fire bell to the new fire hall for use in emergency.
