"OBSERVER" OFFERS
ADVICE TO BOYS
(By "ObServer.")

Because the boy of twelve to eigh-
teen years is inexperienced, he does
not welcome advice, and if he knew
who am, he probably would form his
opinion OF me at once-that am an old
fossil "butting" into other peoples
business. However, | am going to
give him some advice in this article. If
he accepts it, sometime, perhaps, he
will remember the name of your pap
erl and thank me for it. If he doesn't
accept it, the loss is his.
The boy who is noisy and impolite
on the streets is making mistake in
being so. He may work himself up to
a position of high standing among his
companions-he may become the
"bully of the bunch," but that position
is not worth striving for. In tact, it is
one TO be avoided.
The business men of the town are
watching you, young man, and it is to
your interest, more by far, to court
their esteem than that of your pals.
You are growing into manhood, rapid
ly. Soon you will be wanting employ
ment. Your conduct today determines
your chances of the future.
If we could read their minds, there
are no doubt several business men in
town this very day who are needing a
boy and who are wondering what boy
in town is worthy of his trust. You
may be too young for the position, now
but such opportunities always will be-
open. 1t remains only for you to guard
your character and reputation that
men may have confidence in you when
your time comes. Men like a gentle
manly boy You don't need to be
SISSY" but you must not be rude.
Have all the fun you want, but make
sure that your ideas of fun are not
offensive to someone else. Try to keep
always in mind that you are boy and
that older people really do know what
l.. best Respect their desires, acquire
all the education you can get, and your
opportunity will come.

WILSONIAN CONCEIT.

For concentrated quintessence OF
conceit it would be impossible to find
anything surprising the remark OF
President Wilson in his New York
speech before the Railroad Business
Association, in which he said.
eve must all of us think, from this
time out, in terms of the world, and
must learn what it is that America has
set out to maintain as standard-bear-
er for all those who love liberty and
justice and the Righteousness of politi-
cal action.
= Prom this time out!' Heretofore
we have not thought in terms of the
world. Hitherto we have not known
what it is that America has set out to
maintain We have been drifting in
darkness without captains and without
compasSes. "From this time out, &"
however, we are to be guided by the
latest declaration Of truth from that
man, who, of all men prominent in
American history, has been unrivaled
in changes of mind, vacillation of pur-
pose, and uncertainty of action. "From
this time out" We are to be guided by
new ideals as to liberty and justice.
That is, we shall be so guided until Mr..
Wilson = gain changes his mind and
marks Skt for us new path which we
must f6low .if we would truly know
what it is that America has set out to
maintain.
Poor deluded Washington, short
sighted jefferson, misguided Monroe,
}hpless Lincoln, thoughtless Mckinley!
What pity you lived before it was
possible to ''learn what it is that Amer
lea has set out to maintain as a stand.
ard d-bearer for all those who love liber-
ty and justice and the righteousness oi
political action!"

And Along Came Ruth

"Oh, these drafted stamps!" angrily
exclaimed Ruth's father, as he took a
small lot of them out of his pocket,
"every one of them stuck to another
one! | should have known better than
to fold em up like that"
81 can fix them for you," said Ruth.
And taking hot flat iron from the
stove, she placed the stamps upon an
ironing board, put piece of thin paper
over them and ironed them for a
minute. Then when she lifted the
paper, the stamps were found to be
easy to pull apart, and the gum was not
disturbed in the least.
Ruth's father looked his admiration
at her, but said nothing. But his smile
paid Ruth for her trouble.

Hints Worth Trying

To prevent "runs" in new silk stock
ings stitch with thread around leg of
the new stockings short distance from
the top one can prevent the dropped
thread that so often ruins new pair of
stockings. The stitching should be
done on the sewing machine with a
very fine stitch.
To cut fresh bread-Dip your knife
in boiling water and you can cut the
thinnest slice from a fresh loaf
Hot water plates for invalids for
serving food are now on sale in this
country. The plate is really an orna-
mental pan with handles for lifting
and spout forsfilling with hot. water.
Inside is fitted serving plate for the
food which has the temperature sus-
tanned by the heat from beneath. Pri-
ces vary according to material and size.

THRIFT IN THE HOME

iHht 10 SOOu management, anu HO-
where is good management more mani
fest than in the home. You can soon
tell what manner of housekeeper the
wife is, for the impress of her ideals
and ideas is on every hand. She can
waste all the husband earns, or she can
save the major part.
Housekeeping is the most complicated
work in the world, and she who can
keep house well is a good business
woman. She can make her work drudg-
cry or she can make it pleasure. Men
fail in business and the world knows it;
but how many home failures there are
of which the world never hears!
1t is easy to'detect the woman who
fails as houskeeper. If you see the
dishes unwashed, the children unkept,
clothes strung all over the house, the
bath Uttered, the corners dirty and a
general air of neglect, you may depend
upon it she has failed as a business
housekeeper. She does not know how.
Writing in the Ladies Home Journal,
one woman tells how she succeeds as a
homemaker and as a business woman
in the home. She aims at simplicity.
She has simple furnishings, but good.
She has no "parlor abomination
of olden time, but living room, where
they really live. Most parlors are
merely to look at, not to use. She has
simple meals-things they are all stuck
on, as her little boy puts it, but lots of
them. Baked beans only, but lots of
them and good. And who couldn't
make meal on the beans mother used
to bake?
She has no curtains at the windows;
her windows are for light and air, not
to display curtains and catch the dust
and keep out the sunlight. She wastes
no food. She allows the children to
take only as much as they can eat and
no more. If they leave any food on
the plate, the next meal begins with
that cold plate! Her garbage pail is for
waste, not food. "Swell swill" costs
money, and "pigs is pigs" and relish
potato peelings as much as ice cream.
She doesn't make her attic a junk
shop. She makes it storeroom; cleans
it once a year, but that is all. She has
order in the kitchen. She saves time
by having things in order. She doesn't
dry her dishes, but "scalds" them and
lets them dry themselves-and they can
do it better than she.
She uses ''letter press" to 'iron"
socks and towels and coarse articles
that other women break their backs
over to no useful purpose.
A fireless cooker saves gas and time
and food. She keeps biscuit flour
mixed with the proper proportion of
salt and baking powder and biscuits
for her oven in five minutes! She has
all her kitchen utensils handy, cans
and receptacles labeled, and thus she
saves ateps. Some women walk too
much on their jobs. She always has
change in the house, runs no accounts,
pays cash on delivery, weighs her pur-
chases and takes nothing for granted.
She keeps account of all of her expendi-
lures and knows where her money
goes and what it buys. She doesn't
hire much help, because she doesn't
need it. She studies her job and sue
ceeds because she knows how.

TUBERCULOSIS WEEK
Schools of Michigan to Take
Active Part in the Campaign.

The week beginning March 9th has
peeh designated tuberculosis Week in
the schools OF Michigan by the Super
intendent of Public Instruction. Teach
ers of both public and parochial schools
are asked to cooperate in carrying out
the work. This is an anti-tuberculosis
year in Michigan. An appropriation
of 100000 is being expended in cam
paign against the disease. 2500 peo-
pie die every year in Michigan, and
$50, 600 in the United States, from tu-
berculosis alone. Physicians estimate
that from Is to 80 per cent of all peo-
pie become infected with it at some
time in their lives. The disease is re-
sisted or overcome through correct liv-
ing habits. The schools part in eradi-
eating the disease is mainly along the
line of prevention-to train the boys
and girls in health habits. The twenty
thousand school teachers in Michigan
are in a great measure responsible for
the health and habits OF the half a
million boys and girls enrolled in the
schools. The teacher must in many
cases do what the homes fail to do.
Boys and girls should come from the
schools good strong physical beings be-
cause OF the knowledge gained and the
health habits formed The five hun
dred thousand school children in Mich
igan will do much in educating the
homes and bringing about proper con-
ditions. The State superintendent has
outlined a series of lessons for the
week beginning March and has pub
Iished a bulletin for the use of teachers
in presenting the work. These bulle-
tins have been forwarded to commits
sioners and superintendent for distri-
button to teachers. Lessons are given
on the following subjects;
Fresh Air and How to Get it, Food
and Proper Eating Habits, Rest and
Exercise, Cleanliness and What it Will
do for You, Clothing and Dress.
Health is emphasized in the bulletin
rather than disease. Round shoulders
and sunllen chests and incorrect sitting
and standing habits are to receive
attention. Corrective exercises are to
be made a part of the school work.
Such vital questions as how to breathe
the necessity for fresh air and sunlight,
what to eat and how to eat, the need Of
sufficient sleep and rest, the relation
of cleanliness to health, sensible cloth
ing, are to be made the basis of the
weeks work. Teachers can make this
series of five lessons the most impor-
tant series of lessons of the years work.
The subject is live one. Practice is
the only thing that counts. Rules
alone will never preserve health nor
assist in regaining it. School boards
can do more in the prevention of tuber-
culosis along the line of providing pro-
per physical conditions regarding heat
ing, ventilation, sunlight seating, etc,
than can be accomplished by the same
amount of money expended in other
ways. The friends of tuberculosis are:
dampness, dirt, darkness, intemper-
ance, mouth breathing. The enemies
of tuberculosis are: sunlight. fresh air,
good food, cleanliness, full breathing.
The bulletin includes message from
Governor w. N. Ferris to the schools.

COMMISSIONERS HELME
EXPOSES"CURE-A
"TanIac'> Proves to be ConcOc.
ton of Tonics and Alcohol.

A new panacea for the cure of call
ailments of the stomach kidneys and
liver, catarrhal affections of the mucous
membranes, rheumatism, nervous dis
orders and the like" is offered to the
public under the name of Tanlac. The
label on the bottle neatly avoids
the pure drugs act by claiming to be
only 'tonic and system purifier.
An analysis of Tanlac in the labora-
tory of this Department shows the fol-
lowing
Alcohol 1914 per cent
Glycerine 20 per cent
Licorice Present
Aloes or Cascara Present
Gentian Present
Alkaloids 'Berberine' Trace
The presence of a trace of tartaric
acid shows that wine is the base OF this
medicine. The l6 percent alcohol gives
it the "kick" that makes a fellow feel
good and ought to fill long felt want
in ''Dry Counties Aloes is a laxative.
Gentian is bitter drug, a so-calied
tonic. Ii the reader wants to be cured
by the Tanlac route at 'one-fourth the
expense, let him get quart bottle OF
good sherry wine. Then go to the local
druggist and get IA drahms of Gly-
cerine and two drahmS each of Aloes,
Gentian, Licorice and Cascara. Mix
Gf you wish and you will have Tanlac
so near that neither you nor the manu-
facturer can tell the difference. This
formula will give four times the quanti-
ty found in an ordinary 81 bottle OF Tan
lac. We say, mix if you wish" For
our part we dislike to spoil a good bot
tie of wine by miXing it with bitter
drugs like Aloes and Gentian. Our
personal advice to all desiring to try
this panacea would be to drink the
bottle of wine and give the drugs to the
hired girl.

Yet it is probable that in the current week new business has receded somewhat by contrast with the preceding supera- bundance of activity, and it is evident that while buyers of esential staples are still concerned about probable fu- ture supplies, they are purchasing more slowly, first to guard against loading up to heavily with stocks, and secondly they are hoping that prices will recede. This streak of conser- Vatism, running. as it does, like a thin line through an otherwise exception ally active situation. is also due to growing discussions regarding prices having reached zenith point. to per sistent talk of peace in Europe to the desirability of predicating further moves on crop promises in some re- spects to the failure of retail trade to move freely, an incident of cold, rainy weather and to indications of lifting the strain of supplies of semi finished steel.
