Dear Virginia Vane: I really think something ought to be writ 9 ten in the papers against the policy of making the mother-in-law a figure of dread and lothlng to her Try a Renfro Drug Store First 8 PUTTING BABY TO BED IN THE DARK There Is only one really convincing way of preventing a child from being afraid of the dark and that is to make it, from the very beginning, a natural and familiar accompaniment of going to sleep. From the day the baby la born he should be put In his bassinet, or crib and put to bed in a dark room. daughter-in-law.

Why must we go on believing In this old superstition, simply because It's been written about In books and plays and funny pages? I want my son and daughter-in-law to live with me for six months out of the year. I love them both I want to help them with their children.

But look here. You say yourself that for centuries books and plays have been written on this subject Well, figure it out. A theme which has survived the centuries can not be merely a comic idea. It must have for Its basis something very real and poignant to have concerned great authors and playwrights through hundreds of years. The mother-in-law superstition is vital and real, because it Is based on the greatest, most profound emotion In the world, mother-love.

You may love your daughter-in-law tenderly and devotedly. But you love your son with that Intensity and fierce protectlveness which Is known to mothers all the world over. To save him you would sacrifice yourself a thousand times and you would cheerfully let his wife sacrifice herself. You may be the most Intelligent, well-balanced woman In the world, but the old primitive mother Instinct Is tucked away inside you somewhere and you will fight to the death for your son's happiness and your son's rights. Well, look what that does to the family picture.

At present your son and his wife have their little bickerings, misunderstandings, grievances, rights and wrongs. Each of them has probably at some time labored under a sense of Injustice. He has said to himself, "Well, after all, she doesn't work herself to death taking oare of me." Or she has soliloquized, "He might at least do a little work when he comes home in the evenings. He's not killing himself at his work." Because they're equally matched, these arguments and complaints never come to very much. Their differences are matched up.

They learn to compromise, because there is no other way for two hot-headed, spirited, obstinate and self-willed young things. And now what happens when you coma into the family circle? It is the safest policy to maintain points upon which I have scored for following your advice, is putting the children to bed in the dark, I onriu bathe them before putting them In bed and tonight sonny was finished at least ten minutes before sister. wyfjjlF A varied assortment of Candv in Christmas cack- A asres which will delizht ptf 't MJh- JfafJ the receiver. a New Improved Gillette Razor It has many new improvements that you will Regularly $5.
