, By the tfiuo I'.vvy and 1 brought in
the tea and toast she had suggested
making, my Jim and bather Xndrew
were talking away liko vast friends.
At another time that would have
, made nn absolutely hippy
how could I be happy with F.vvy
lingering nround and insinuating her - ;
self Into tho good graces of my men j
folks and spoiling all tJie cozy inti- •
inacy of Father's first hours in my
home?
As I handed Jim liis tea, I mur- j
mured:
• Tired, dear? Or did the day go
off with a tine bang?" 1
"Of course, I'm uot tired. ihiuk
I'm an invalid? ' Jim b. gan irri
tably, and then added xvitii hoy-h J
grin at Father Andrew: "This girl,
of yours had the courage to marrv a
down-and-out, wounded soldier, but
sometimes she thinks he s
going to stay down-and-out forever,:
which isn t In hls'pians at oil, sir. 1
"No, by < rickety!" retorted itathor :
Andrew with uonvicMon. I'll just
put in my whiti chip.- that lit tin t.' ;
Jim's eyes lighted, "bo you play the

any gambling proposition whatso
ever as long as I lived. And 1 j
ain't." i
Something caught nt my heart, and
I looked at Jim. pleadingly, but be
fore he could reply, ICvvy elbowed i
lier way back into tins center of the
stage again.
"Isn't he wonderful? I'll wager
you were the most devoted husband!

Curel His RUPTURE
I was badly ruptured while lift'.n ,
a trunk .several years ago. Doctors
■aid my only hope of cure was an
operation. Trusses did me no good. 1
Finally i got hcitd of something that ,
quickly and completely cured me.
Years have passed and the rupture
has n'ever returned, although I am
doing hard work as a carpenter. j
There was no operation, no lost tune, 1 1
no trouble. I have nothing to sell, j 1
but will give full Information about •
how you may find a complete cure;
without operation, if vou write to me,
Eugene M. Pullen, Carpenter. 2CJK ;

Better cut out tins notice and show it j
to nnv others who are ruptured—you
may save a life or at least stop tho
misery of rupture and- the worry und ,
aunger of an operation.

0 MAKING THE RIOST OF 1
OUR CHILDREN Q
A Series of Plain Talks to ;
Parents/' \
v J Ray c * m.A. V
?rci;dcat of the Parents Associauooe \ S '
f
j A mother once sakl to me: "Why i
do so many parents ask how to cure; 1
thumb-sucking? What's tlio harm in |
lotting a young child have his thumb jp
]if ho wants it? Ho will soon drop j
the desire."
j But tho fact o? tlie matter is, the
majority of hlldren do not soon .
[drop tlie desire. On the contrary :
i they become more and more enslaved '
to tlie habit the longer they prac-,
tice it.
This habit if long continued,: j
causes the upper front teetli to bo ( ;
ptfshi d outward arid gives- the face
a bad appearance. To say the \ery!'
[least, thumb-sucking is a useless '
liahit and you should not'want jour'
[child to be a slave to any habit that
] is not useful. '
Let us discuss a typical case: I
"What would you suggest to cure
I a youngster of the habit of sucking,'
his thumb?" writes n father. "Harold 1
[has sucked his thumb ever since he;
was a j car old and does it yet at the ;
age of 3 years."
I Your little son's habit is like that in
breathing, in tlie sense that it is more
natural to do it than not.
Perhaps the most hopeful plan •
! that you have now of eradicating the
| habit is to make an appeal to tlie)
j child's self interest by means of an i
I attractive reward.
I will suggest for your benefit, a.
| possible conversation. '.'Oh! Harold.-
: come here, 1 have something awfully
! good to (i ll you—That's right, sic
right up'here on father's iap. I've I
been thinking about getting you a'
fine, new tricycle—one on which you
can ride and go very fast. Sav. th'at
would •ho ' just line, wouldn't it?
Would you like for mo to buy it when '
I go down town next-week?"'
Your son will say yes, or nod his
head at this point. Then say, all
right, there is onlj- one tiling I want
to speak to you about before getting
this tricycle and that is this: Starting
with to-morrow morning you will
keep jour hands away from your
mouth just like father and everyone !
else. The tricycle will help you to
remember, ,won't it? Of course, if
your thumb should hop into your
| mouth, when you were not thinking
about it, why I would not keep the
tricycle away from you then, be- j
i cause you took it out as soon as you I
could, after you thought about it. I
So, we'll leave it that way. Starting

JUST A MINUTE!
j I was standing
On the Square, to-day.

I '('hat I had the opportunity.
To see a man.
I Of this class.
So I thought I would ntovo.
Around in front.
And Bet an eyo full.
Of his front view.
Which I did.
And then I rubbed my eyes.
And looked ngain.
I couldn't believe It.
But It was true.
Po I remarked,
i Brother.
! Them are fine words.
I You have Just spoken.

j of Ills success in his presence.
The idea in the method suggested
,is to make tlie child want some par-!

!| Cattle Buying For
| Swift Sc Company'
Swift & Company buys mora than 9000 head of cattle
on an average, every market day.
Each one of them is "sized up" by experts.
Both the packer's buyer and the commission salesman must
judge what amou * meat each animal will yield, and how fine it
. will be, tlie grading of the hi de, and the quantity and quality of the fat.
Both must know market conditions for live stock and meat
throughout tlie coun'ay. The buyer must know where the different
qualities, weights# a:id kinds of cattle can be best marketed as beef.
If the buyer pays more than the animal is worth, the packer loses
money on it. If he c hers less, another packer, or a shipper or feeder,
gets.it away from him.
• - J
If the seller accepts too little, the live-stock raiser gets less than
he is entitled to. If he holds out for more than it is worth, he fails
to make a sale.
H
A variation of a few cents in the price per hundred pounds is a
matter of'vital importance to the packer, because it means the
difference between profit and loss.
