OF physical culture for p years. He
believes that children must be strong
to be successful in the battle of life.
He believes also they will never grow
as strong as they ought to unless their
parents take them in hand.
Here is the MCGEE SYSTEM
Start with your children when they
are a month old. Too young, you say?
Nonsense. Put your fingers out and
the child will grab them. Pull him (for
convenience Wen say he's boy,
though it works as we'll with a girD up
from reclining position as far as he
will hold on. Keep this up a few weeks,
trying it few minutes a day, and you
will be able to pull the child up to
sitting posture.
Hold 1t by Its Fingers.
IF the child is healthy and normally
strong, you can hold it in midair by
its fingers by the time it is three months
old.
Gradually teach the child other lit
tie tricks.
For instance:
Roll it around on the floor.
"Plck it up by its feet
Pick it up by its head Don't let its
mother see this going on at first or
she'll call it murder. Do it gently and
there's no danger.
make it play wheelbarrow.'
when my first child was three years
old l bought him a tiny pair of dumb
bells. BY the time he was five he could
swing them well enough to give exhi-
bitions Club swinging is good if you
know enough about it to teach the
child. If you don't, try something else.
Make Play of 1t.
"The idea is to teach the children
whatever you know best.
"Be sure to make play of it. If the
children regard it as work, they will
get neither pleasure nor development
out of it. Don't be too dignified to make
a romp of It, If you can't get down on
the floor and throw somersaults with
the children it is time you learned"
The MCGEE children are impressive
advertisements for the MCGEE physical
culture system. The older ones, boy
and a girl, can do lots of circus stunts;
can box like professionals and are as
hard as nails.
The youngest, a little shaver no big
ger than a pint Of cider, can do more
tricks than the average grown man.
one is to stand on his feet. his hands
and his head, with his little torso,
"tummy' up, forming perfect arch
which is some trick for the average
grown man Another is to stand erect
on his fathers hand, held high in air.
His feature performance is the lifting
of a 50-pound weight. OF course he
doesn't actually lift it. But he seizes
the weight and his father puts his
hands under the baby's arms and locks
them together on his chest. Then the
father lifts, and the baby holding the
weight, comes up. too. Sometimes for
as long as minute he holds the weight
suspended. Then his fingers relax and
it drops That it is 2 real 50-pound
weight the photographer will testify.
He nearly broke his back trying to
lift it.

That the beef trust is promariy res
ponsible for the country wide agita-
ton i'm favor of removing the tax on
clomargarihe and that such action
would be bad thing Tor the people
of this country, is the Interesting con
tention Of e. ~. Vandenboom of Mar
auette city DAIRY. Mr. Vandenboom
further asserts that the beef trust con-
trolls the butter market of the coun-
try, as well as the production and sale
of oleomargarine, and it is on this as
sumption that his argument in favor
of retaining the taX is based
with the sharp rise in the price of
butter about Christmas time n demand
has sprung up in many parts of the
country for the removal of the tax Oh
oleomargarine, those ,fayoring such
action believing 1t would force down
the price of butter. Mr. Vandenboom
bclieves that this sentiment has been
in large measure manufactured by the
beef trust, and that to remove The tax
: would reduce neither the price of but
ter. Mr.. Vandenboom believes that
this sentiment has been in large meas
ure manufactured by the beef trust.

duce neithcrethe price of butter nor

used, which is 1.-The object of the

more profit for all concerned i'm selling

statement he Is borno out by at least
one DEALER who admitted that nc
wculd rather sell zone pound of oleo-
margarine than four pounds of but
ter. This would explain why the beef
trust Is desirous OF increasing the
/ popularity of oleomargarinc.
IN the first place" said Mr., Van
/ derboom. most people have an idea
that the government places a tax of
, ten cents a pound on oleomargal'ine
1t is true that a. tax Of ten cents a
pound is levied on colored oleomarga-
rine but on the uncolored product
which is the only kind sold to any ex-
