By ELEANOR ROSS Dad is a 'willing and useful|® helper about the house, that is, if mother doesn't mind cleaning up after him. For instance, when the old boy takes a turn at serving baby's evening "'ban- quet,"" Mother had better have a bow! of suds handy. One practical mother boasts that as a result of father feed- ing baby, she has become an expert at cleaning up furniture upholstery. Her husband's' sys- tem of feeding their infant was to transfer his pride and joy from highchair to sofa, hand him a spoon and hold the bowl of pablum under his chin, Naturally, the food was sprayed--what else?--all over the upholstery. In consterna- tion, mama investigated pro- fessional services which quoted ices ranging from $30 to $50 to "do" the sofa and matching two chairs. DID IT HERSELF Those prices didn't jibe with an already overstretched bud- get, so this enterprising home- maker decided to tackle the job herself after: consulting with a more experienced neighbor. That wise lady recommended suds and water--inexpensive in- gredients always at hand in any household, It required Jess than halt a day to suds-shampoo all Story three pieces--at a cost of only a few-nickles for the entire job. To wash your _ upholstered pieces successfully, apply thick suds with a soft brush or sponge. NO TELL-TALE RINGS Use circular motion to sham- poo small sections with overlap- ping strokes that leave no tell- tale water marks when the fab- ric has dried, Use the stiffest, dryest suds imaginable--made| by beating up a big handful of packaged soap, or detergent with a minimum of watér until the suds stand in peaks. Af- ter scraping dirty suds off the surface of the upholstery with a spatula, rinse-wipe each area with a sponge squeezed tightly out of clear water. To hasten drying, direct the breeze of an electric fan or a portable hair dryer on the damp upholstery. CHILD GUIDANCE By GARRY C, MYERS, Ph.D. Most of us don't realize that there are many children who are unhappy because they still wet the bed. Some of them are over 6, 9 or 12, and the older they are the more they suffer because of it and the harder it is for them to recover. Although parents of the child with this problem usually sup- pose they have all the worries over this matter, their concern is rarely comparable to that of the child, Few of us are aware of the heartaches the child endures; and the more he suffers the harder it is for him to recover. An older child may suppose he never will recover, but will al- ways have to live in disgrace. What is more, he is not sure his parents believe he will re- cover or that he really wishes to do s0, Wisely, most parents try to help the child as young as 3 or 4 by taking him to the bath- room when they retire, and this Very Personal Problem Causes Child Distress .jents set the clock to ring at two or three o'clock for a second trip with the child. IS IT WORTH WHILE? However, if these trips unduly keep the parent awake they soon discover this second trip unnecessary leaaiy 'the parents should celebrate the child's successes, praise him (regardless of his age) when he awakened dry but and fervent I might add), ing him to bathroom after he has had a few hours sleep, keep- ing a chart, cutting down on liquids, allowing liquids, check- ups at the doctor are methods) we've tried so far. IN GOOD HEALTH He is in good health but the that eating is secondary to play- ing. He's very imaginative and aggressive. He has no benay- kind of child that is so active ior problem and has a superior rating in school work, tak-,your husband should resolve to assure the boy he needs not feel ashamed; that you understand he is worried and embarrassed over the matter and that you are going to help him find ways to recover. Try to prove to him that your only worry or concern is that he must not worry. Try to free him from the feeling he has that you are ashamed of him. Assure him in scores of ways that you are proud of him, Per-' haps he is over-stimulated and excited. I suggest you map out the following program: Get the boy lan alarm clock. You and the father work out a schedule for getting the boy up often enough to. keep him dry. Begin with shorter periods-- two, three or more a night at] view first and gradually make these| periods fewer and longer, Be on hand for some nights to make sure the clock awakens your "He likes everyone and every- thing, including school.

Of course, the child should have a check-up by the family doctor.
