BRINGING UP THE BOY Some Suggestions the Education and Develop.
 naent of Your Son

\ T fifteen, eighteen. or twenty,
 A boy may wish to decide on his future career, and should
 have intelligent sympathy from his parents. His father should not insist that his son should take up a business which he himself carries on, If the boy has opposite tastes. As far as possible boy should have liberty of choice in seeking an occupation or a profession. If he has his own definite tastes he should be helped to carry them out. If he prefers to have decisions made for him he may be guided toward a useful career
 This IS often time of trial or dis appointment to parents who may have other wishes for their boy from those he prefers to follow. It takes love, wisdom, unselfshness to help a boy to decide. He has to live his own life, and to decide under what conditions he will live 1t. He needs help, encour- agement in choosing what he has bent for. Then he must do his best. If he is of the material that makes man of character he is on the way to success. Good Son
 A thoughtful son realizes and appre- ciates that his parents have given their best efforts, their best years in making a home and in providing for him, edu- eating him, training him in character and habits, and fitting him for life It may h- fhat It IS necessary for boy to

treasury IS a problem that confronts more than one housewife this year
 The price of turkeys has scared higher and higher, until what was considered a necessity to the Thanksgiving or Christ mas table has become a positive luxury. In many homes turkeys at any time of the year are out of the question, and chickens are frequently substituted. But even these in many places are so high priced or poor that one would prefer to do without than to spend much money and receive little return.
 Substitute for Turkey
 Those who are fortunate enough to have farmer friends who raise their own porkers can purchase a sdckling pig, which, roasted, will make a delicious substitute for the turkey.
 A ham, smoked of fresh, will also prove satisfactory, and is especially attractive when boncd, stuffed and roasted.

~O many women are silly about > their appearance in one way or another that many have come to
 regard the subject of Good Looks" as frivolous, and anyone consid- ering them as given over to a foolish and senseless vanity. The proper con- alteration of good looks means several things which are the foundation stones of success m life.
 In the first place they mean health, for seldom can one who Is sickly be sood-looiZing. In the next place they mean attainment of better place in society, for good looks are pleasing to everybody and the possessor of them is pleasureable sight and more eagerly sought for eompanionship.

wrong things are made to seem right. The rush for pleasure and wealth makes people careless about higher things. The fauft of the times Is in irresponsible self viii.
 A boy who has been trained by good parents knows the value of good con- science, and that in times of trial or responsibility 1t win solve problems and deliver him from temptation. He re- members the simple but clear teaching of little verse on character:
 Build 1t we'll, whate'er you do;
 Build 1t straight and strong and true;
 Build 1t clean and high and broad;
 Build 1t for the eye of God"
 In a good home a boy learns that everyone IS under law, and that on his good conduct depends the welfare of all. When he enters the larger duties of life he will find that the same laws that he was taught as boy make for happiness and helpfuincss in the. world. Thus he is equipped to be a law-abiding citizen.
 He loves his country, looks forward with pride to the rights and privileges he will have as voter, understands that 1t is . duty to have moral courage in time of peace as in time of war. He Is true patriot, and realizes that national holi- days are days not merely for parade or fun or excitement, but days to remember the heroic men who helped to make the country. and who gave their lives for it, and SO he determines to help to keep the nation pure in laws and noble in its aims. The Coming Generation
 Boys are to be the fathers and home makers of another generation. They are to be the iaw-makers, the citizens who are to uphold the great principles for which our country stands. They need to be inspired with thoughts of their high destinies, duties and responsibilities.
