What if baby won't listen
to "No"?

Heard about
Heinz Instant Cereals?
Next time your little rascal laughs
at or hist plain ignores your No,
ask yourself: Was that No necessary?
Even a "little annul" needs guidance
and protection to make him feel secure
and happy. But many a lovable baby
can be turned into an uilovable, spoiled
child by too much discipline, as well aa
too little! A few simple tips:
Arrange your baby's life and living
quarters to cut down the need for so
many No's. The fewer he hears, the
more he'll pay attention to. Don't you
find distracting is easier and works
better than scolding?
Onco you've said No, stick with it.
You'd be surprised how soon baby
knows whether you mean business!
Make sure your rules fit your
child's capabilities. A curious little ex
plorer can't stay clean; a baby learning
to feed himself can't learn table man
ners, too. Prediction: the older your
baby gets, the more often he'll try to
please by copying .you. Self-discipline
develops best through loving imitation!

The wealthy man wheeled
"his huge, chrome-heavy sedan
into a parking space only to
discover he had no change for
the parking meter. But farther
up the block he spotted a va
cant spot with a few minutes
still left on the meter, so he '
quickly pulled into it.
As he stepped out, he heard
a boy behind him say to his
little brother: "See. That's how
you get to own big cars."

It's a Mystery to Me
Our house key burglars could not find,
1 hide it so astutely.
I checked on snots of every kind
Before I cached it cutely.
I scorned as commonplace the mat,
The window sill, the shelf.
No burglar knows where it is at,
And I'm not sure myself.

Wives who have trouble opening cartons,
Unscrewing bottle caps and all,

Given a team and a bowling ball.

"How do you turn it on?"
One of the most popular attrac
tions at the church bazaar was
the fortuneteller, a local matron
dressed up in a gypsy costume.
The more outlandish the things
she predicted, the more neighbors
flocked to her tent. When a stran
ger sat opposite her, she was a
little confused but tried to bluff it
through.
"I see a . buried treasure," she
said mysteriously.
"Oh, yes, I know about that," the
stranger replied, "that would be
my wife's first husband."
The patient claimed he was al
lergic to just about everything in
modern life, and the doctor put him
through a series of tests. They

proved only that the patient was
probably a hypochondriac, but the
doctor gave him some pills just the
same.
Several weeks later, the patient
returned in high spirits. "Those
pills were wonderful," he said.
"Cleared up all my trouble."
"Those pills," the doctor replied
sarcastically, "were nothing but lit
tle balls of bread."
"Good heavens," yelled the pa
tient, turning pale. "White or
whole-wheat?"
