SIMPLY LEFT IT TO TOM Mother Shrewdly Reasoned That She I Needn't Worry About Time to Give Medicine. There is n Philadelphia mother who j is forgetful and knows it. but who is clever enough to discount this failing, as a rule. Not long ago bin' snuill 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 unhopel'ully upon his return home 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. T just told Tom this morning at what hours he was to take the medicine, and half an hour before each time he began wailing that he didn't want to take it."
