/ am sure this will appeal to the tax
payer as no other plan would.
The right man can make play
ground such a pleasant and interest
ing place to boys that, to maintain dis
cipline, he need have recourse to no
other means than the withdrawal of
the privilege of playing for a limited
time.
But to do so he must be able to en-
thuse and share the feeling of the boys
he must organize the baseball nine
and the football eleven and make the
boys interest his own.
In this way he may win the friend
ship of the boys and become their ideal.
When he has reached that point his
influence over them is unbounded and
there is no measuring the good he may
do. He can instill right ideas frown
down all that is unmanly, profane or
impure and mold their characters.
Let us have the Fairgrounds at once,
and let us have the right kind of men
in charge, and the results will justify

TO PRESERVE
A HUSBAND

Fer this purpose select a nice, kind,
amiable, industrious, generous man.
The American variety is far better
than the foreign kind. Prepare him
by having him go through a long en-
gagement. which effectually renders
man soft thing and makes him easy
to handle. Gently detach him from all
of his old friends and acquaintance
and remove any habits he may have.
He is then ready to can, preserve or
make jam, as you choose.
To can, merely deprive him of his
latchkey and throw a handful OF
mother-in-law in the house Men
corked up like this have been known
to keep for years without spelling,
though when they are opened up, if
kept too long, they are apt to be sour.
To make jam, prepare as before, but
shred all of his finer feelings by nag
ging and pound them into a pulp by
complaints. To preserve a husband
put as much love into the heart as it
will hold, add an ocean of sympathy
a world OF tenderness, pound of for
bearance, a dram of patience and drop
him into it until he is thoroughly
coated over with sugar. Husbands
should always be crystallized one at a
time. Never in pairs. Neither should
they ever be stood in hot water. This
is where many women make mistakes.
