The young lady was celebrating her 13th birth
day and received many wonderful presents. One
that bewildered her, however, was a diary from
her grandmother.
"Gee, Gram," she said, "it's a wonderful diary,
but it's kind of late for me to start one now.
Everything has happened already."

That the grass is so much greener on our
next-door neighbor's yard
Isn't due to extra work and gardening powers;
The reason that his lawn is quite the
show place of the block
Is because his kids play over here on ours.
" Stephen Schlitzer

Chargo
Behold, with her brood, the mother of three
Afoot in the park on a jamboree.
First she must carry Susan's coat;
And then it is Johnny's dripping boat.
Next it is apples in a sack,
A red balloon and some Crackerjack.
And surely before the end of the trip,
She'll trundle the baby on ber hip.
Which all adds up, in the feminine code,
To what we label the "Mother Load."
Georgie Starbuck Galbraith
"Remember, you can't all be first," the high
school teacher told her class. "Even great men
have to be second sometimes."
"What about George Washington?" a smart
aleck student asked. "He was the first President,
first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts
of his countrymen."
"Yes, that's true," the quick-thinking teacher'"
replied, "but he married a widow."
Giles H. Runyon
The older generation used to struggle to keep

Nothing delights a mother more than
when her baby peacefully slips into the
land of nod. But as babies grow older
even natural sleepyheads have some
periods when they balk at sleep. If your
baby goes on a night-owl spree
occasionally, you might try these
tried-and-true tips:
If baby is kept reasonably active with
a few games plus mild exercise during
waking hours, he may succumb to
the sandman more quickly. Peace and
quiet and a lazy pre-bedtime bath
have a lulling effect. .
A split-supper feeding may encourage
drowsiness. Serve the main part of
baby's meal a bit before the regular
time. Save his bottle and a bit of fruit
for a pre-crib snack.
Rockabye rebels or self-styled
sleepyheads, both are partial to the
pleasures of Gerber Strained Fruit
Juices. That's because their delicate,
true-fruit flavors make sipping
something extra-special. Nutritionally
speaking, all Gerber Juices are equally
rich in vitamin C, needed for sound
gums and body tissues. Nine varieties
make up the luscious list, including
two new Gerber greats: Mixed Fruit
Juice and Prune-Orange . . . both
flavor delights.
Delicious afterthought to cure post-nap
blues: cooling sips of any Gerber Juice.
Words on waking hours. Just as every
baby works out his own particular
sleeping schedule, so he develops his
individual pattern of wakefulness.
As you become familiar with his waking
hours (usually about the same times
each day) your own schedule can be
rearranged to spend part of these times
encouraging him to try new things.
When he must be alone, try to provide
self-amusement which will keep
him occupied.
On the grow from head to toe. Rapidly
growing and increasingly active babies
need protein to help the development
of all body structures. Gerber Strained
Meats are just the thing to provide
that protein in the smoothest forms -imaginable.
Made from special cuts,
selected by Armour, they're
processed by an exclusive
method which protects precious food
values and insures that wonderfully
smooth, moist texture.
For your baby's well-being: Gerber
prepares over 100 baby foods-infant
formulas, cereals, strained and Junior
foods -to meet your baby's nutritional
needs. We're proud to say:
"Babies are our business
... our only business!"
