Medicine Is
Thirty-five children out of
thirty-six recently poisoned
by aspirin thought the aspirin
was candy. During the same
month, a magazine ad t o 1 d
about children "taste-testing"'
drugs. They were helping
drug manufacturers decide
whether to flavor medicine
with custard or with chocolate
mint.
Is it wrong to make medicine
taste like candy?
No. There is nothing wrong
\v i t h making medicine easy
to take. And there is no question
that sweet-tasting medicine
is easier for a child to
swallow.
What is wrong is permitting
a child to think that
medicine is candy.
Make sure your children
don't. Teach them that those
sweet pink pills are medicine
and why they have to take
them.
Calling medicine candy is
not only dangerous. It is also
a way of concealing the fact
that life can be unpleasant.
Don't prevent your child
from learning how to take
life's medicine?if necessary,

One mother complained to
her baby's doctor that she
couldn't yet her four-year-old
to swallow a large pill, no
matter how hard she coaxed.

Not Candy
The doctor told h e r firmly
that the child would either
take his medicine or go to
the hospital.
Mother tried again. This
time, the pill went down.
What made the difference?
Candy-coating? N o t at all.
The child had learned that his
mother meant business. That
this was something he had to
swallow.
Children need to learn
there is a time for medicine
and a time for candy. Just as
much as thcv nr?r?H ln\*o -Mirl
parents they can trust to tell
them the truth.
The wise parent will try to
judge when sugar coating is
right and when it is wrong.
That way he will be helping
his child prepare for life.
Helping him get ready to take
the bitter with the sweet.

Rubbish On The Run
w
Beauty is only skin deep, w
the old saying goes. cj
Sometimes clean-up around
the house is only skin deep,
too. Out where the family
does most of its living, everything
is neat and orderly.
But how about the attic or
storage closet, the basement
and that garage corner?
These are apt to be the forgotten
spots, where clutter
accumulates.
This can make them hazardous
trouble spots, too.
These four areas are where
18 percent of all destructive
home fires start. National
Fire Protection Association
research shows.
Put rubbish on the run a
everywhere in your home. A
Clear out those stacks of a<
newspapers and magazines, a
discarded clothing and mat- y<
tresses, o 1 d draperies, rags, hi
paint cans?every bit of combustible
clutter. oi
It's one of the smartest yj
things you can do to keep la
your home and family safe ci
from fire. ti

A hillbilly was making his

his teen-age son was about
to have an operation. Watching
the doctor's every move,
he asked:
"What's that you're doing?"
The doctor explained:
"This is what we call an
anesthetic. After he gets it
he won't know a thing."
"Save yore time. Doc," the
man said, "he don't know
