Cornie Wieberg. “Does she drink
milk before she goes to sleep?”
asked Cornie.
“Yes,” said Bill.
“Then, that’s your trouble," re-
plied Cornie. ‘‘If you feed the
child milk before bedtime, she goes
to sleep and tosses from side to
side. Milk chums to butter, but-

sugar turns to alcohol, and the first
