Of course, your child has will power. Every normal child has. Even a baby shows strong determi nation to have what he wants. But not all children exercise their willpower in the right direction or in ways desired by their parents. SO the big problem of parents is to create in their children a desire to do those things which they wish them to do. The man who boasts that ho has willpower enough to indulge or let alone certain things just as he pleases deserving of no special compli ment, Any one has that much will power. It s the man who, seeing what is right, desires to do right and does it, that deserves commendation. Let us take a case. One father writes: "Our boy of six has never been given any definite training in will power. Will you suggest some good way to begin?" You might start with simple phys ical exercises. Have the child come to you and with his right side to ward you, take his right fist in your right hand and hold his left arm just above the elbow with your left hand. Band his arm at the elbow All Fat People Should Know This The world owes a debt of gratitude to the author of the now famous Marinola Prescription, and is still more indebted for the reduction of this harmless, effective obesity remedy to tablet form. Marmola Prescription Tablets can now be obtained at all drug stores, or bv writing direct to Marmola Co., BG4 Woodward Ave., De troit Mich., and their reasonable price (75 cents for n large case) leaves no excuse for dieting or violent exercise for the reduction of the over fat body to normal proportions.

The list shows price ranges on nine general classified groups with a spread of $13.85 per cwt. —the lowest at $6.50, and the highest at $20.35. , IB Why this variation in price? Because the meat from different animals varies greatly in quality and weight Although the quotations shown are in nine divisions, Swift & Company grades cattle into 34 general classes, and each class into a variety of weights and qualities. As a result of these differences in cattle prices, (due to differences in weights and meat qualities), there is a range of 15 cents ,HI in Swift & Company's selling prices of beef carcasses. These facts explain: 1 ■up • II— Why retail prices vary in different stores. 2—Why it would be difficult to regulate prices of cattle or beef. | ' 3—Why it requires experts to judge cattle and to sell meat, so as to yield the pro fit of only a fraction of a cent a pound— a profit too small to affect prices. jjj[jl j|.

Covert, Manager || ..a THURSDAY EVENING, jclnt three or four times and squeeze his. arm with your left hand as his muscles contract. Say, "Would you like to make your muscles stronger?" A child, especially a boy between 5 and 10 years old, will not only say "Yes," but will show great delight at the thought of becoming bigger and stronger. As soon as the child says "Yes," say "All right, roll ip your sleeves and X will show you how." After the child rolls up his sleeves, have him stand right in front of roll both of his sleeves as high as you can get them and say, "First, I want to pound the muscles a little to get them loosened up and then we will exercise on the porch with two brooms." As you say these words, tap the child's arm lightly all around from the elbows to the shoulders; then get ttyo brooms; give one to the child and start to sweep the dirt off the porch. Keep talking about how well that develops the muscles of the arm and quit after a few minutes, that is, before the child is ready to quit. Contract the child's arm two or three times again and remark that if he exercises like that very much he will soon have strong muscles. Mention a few things which are es pecially good for developing the mus cles, such as using a hoe, using a hammer, lifting, carrying, throw ing stones, etc. By applying this same idea of ap pealing to the child's ambition, get ting him to assert his interest in be coming like certain admired persons along moral and intellectual lines, you can enlist the child's earnest ef fort to develop along these lines. Then, just as in tl te case of physical development, you should suggest various easy ways in which the child may develop his mind and character.

Resolutions to form little new habits and their ac tual formation are excellent train ing of the will. Give the will some exercise every day. It need not be much, but always have some new and interesting habit, in th>- form ing of which the child's will may get exercise. Commend the child heartily for what he already has done in a given direction, even though it does not amount to mifch, and you will find that this kind of encouragement will go a long way toward enlisting' his will to continue his effort in that line. i 103,541 Returned Soldiers Needed For Road Building Washington, Jan. 9.

"Evening, • Fair I.ady Tenant," cried Tom Mason advancing from the room wherb he had evidently been hiding, with a complacent, sick ening, crooked smile deepening on his flushed face . "Good evening," I managed to say steadily through lips that wanted to tremble. "Was there feomething wrong with the —plumbing?" That elaborate tenant-to-landlord tono marked two thoughts that were grinning at me like ugly gnomes from seared corners of my brain. The first was a memory of Jim's note—"Don't propose to sit home and wait for you any longer. Don't know when I'll be back." But even more terrifying than' t the consciousness that my husband I wasn't there to help me and that I I didn't know when he would return, was the other realizaion. The strange aroma that had assailed me when I came into the apartment was ex plained now. It was the fumes of stale liquor. My visitor had been drinking. "There's nothing wrong with the apartment," snickered Tom Mason, continuing to advance toward the couch where I sat feeling as if the floor of the room had turned to hot pitch and was rising ready to drag me into its swampy ooze. "There's nothing wrong with the apartment. And there's a whole lot—Just right about its pretty tenant." I contrived a smile. And at the same time I pulled myself up from I the couch in spite of the hot, sag- j ging weight that seemed to be ] dragging me down. Then I crossed j to the door, saying in a tone I tried j to make as calm and as indifferent j as if this were ten in morning in- I stead of ten at night: "I'm glad you've found the apart ment in good shape. Thanks for looking it over. Good night." My hand was on the door knob | and I gave it a matter-of-course opening twist. Then Tom Mason's hand closed down over mine—wet, clammy fingers pressing against my wrist. Try as I might, I couldn't , shake them free. My breath seemed to be pounding up from my and then catching with a rasp. 1 j could hear it struggle to tear out past my dry lips. And then all in a moment I realized that it wasn't' my breathing I heard —but Tom j Mason's. "Take your hand away!" I gasped. I "Take it away. Leave my apart- i ment this instant!" But his hand closed over mine and he drew me away from the door.—drew me irresistibly across i the room and over to the high- i backed Venetian chair. Then with | a laugh and a sweeping bow, he ' fairly shoved me into the chair. "Dear Donna Anne, in another moment you'll make me think I'm not welcome," said he, chuckling. I stormed to my feet and con fronted him in wild fury. "I tried to lyigh this off —to avoid Daily Dot Puzzle ' \l? * * I 28 . -18 *>• ~b 31* ., 5 J ' as.

What are you doing in my apart ment? r demand to know. My hus band—" '.'Oh, yes your husband!" he smiled wisely. "I was downstairs when the operator called the Can teen and reported that it didn't an swer. I had supper with Pat to night. Dined not wisely, but too well. Pat told me you were work ing at the Canteen. Where friend Carlotta works. When friend hus band calls a number of his own and then hurries out a little while after he can't get the Canteen I put two and two together. And I came up to keep you from getting lonesome or being afraid. Now, aren't you ashamed of your ingratitude?" ".You've been drinking!" I cried. '/So I don't, suppose you realize how disgusting you are—or how insult ing. Now will you go—or shall 1 call the operator?" "Call the operator? That's good. She's gone home. Want to take that roughneck elevator boy into your confidence about —my calling on you? Don't be so silly." Tom Mason's voice steadied now and took on a deeper tone, more alarming than his maunderings had been. He laid his hands on my shoulders and brought his face close to mine. I could feel his hot, dry breath on my cheek as he spoke: "Don't be cruel to me, dear. There's nothing to fear. Naturally as landlord here, 1 have duplicate keys. If any one came in they'd It's worth a lot to every family to know it is getting the best bread—because bread is so essential—forms practically the most part of a meal.

"Take your hands off my—dress," I said tensely, through jaws that wanted to quiver. He laughed and slid his hands down'slowly from shoulder to el bows. The intimacy of that touch Beared into my flesh. All in a min ute I knew dangerously much about the impulse to kill. And while I quivered with rage and distate at his touch, he tightened his vise-like clutch on my arms and drew me still closer. I struggled to be free. I lifted my hands and pounded on his chest, I fought and snarled in inglorious, impotent rage. Then Tom Mason's voice burned triumphantly against my cheek. "And where do you think Jim is? Have' you any idea whose number the boy called —when he found that you weren't coming home? Shall X tell you, or will it hurt too much to know?" "Let me go!" I cried. "Let me go!" "Let you go—you little iceberg? Aren't you glad you have me—now that Jim's getting tired?" I felt myself go limp.
