SIMPLY LEFT IT TO TOM Mother Shrewdly Reasoned That She Needn't Worry About Time to Give Medicine. There is a Philadelphia mother who Is forgetful and knows it, but wiio is clever enough to discount this failing, as a rule. Not long ago 'her small son was rather indisposed, and the doctor ordered a medicine to be given at three-hour intervals. "Did you give Tom his medicine ---' """regularly?" the husband and father asked unhopefully upon his return borne in the evening. "Didn't miss a time," the mother responded re-sponded with satisfaction. "How In the world did you ever think of it?" the man asked. "I didn't ; but it was easy. I just told Tom this morning at what hours he was to take the medicine, and half an hour tefore each time he began wailing that he didn't want to take It."
