Parents
BY Ray c. Beery, ABB, MA
President of the Parents Association

a mother once said to me: ''why
do so many parents ask how to cure
thumb-sucking What's the harm in
letting a young child have his thumb
.if he wants it? He will soon drop
the desire"
But thc fact of the matter is, the
majority of children do not soon
drop the desire on the contrary
they become more and more enslaved
to the habit the longer they prac-
tice it.
This habit if long continued,
causes the upper front teeth to be
pushed outward and gives. the face
a bad appearance. To say the very
least thumb-sucking is a useless
habit and you should not want your
child TO be a slave 10 any habit that
/ is not useful.
Let us discuss a typical case: .
What would you suggest to cure
a youngster of the habit of sucking
his thumb?" writes q father. Harold
1 has sucked his thumb ever since he
was a year old and does it yet at the
/ age of y years"
Your little sons habit is like that in
( breathing, in the sense that it is more
natural TO do it than not.
Perhaps the most hopeful plan
! that you have now Of eradicating the
habit is to make an appeal to the
childs self interest by means of an
! attractive reward

sort of grain sorghum to guard
against his crops burning up from

CLAIM PATRIOTIC SERVICE.
Packers Hold Soldiers Must BE Fed
And Fed With Good Food.

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 14.-American
packers are doing far more than
merely furnishing meat foods to the
soldiers and sailors of the United
States and her allies, according to
G. S. Churchill, Advisory Superin-
tendent for Swift G. Co., who ad-
dressed the American Meat Pack
ers' convention today.
'The general public realizes lit
tie of the work that the packer is
doing to win the war" said Mr..
Churchill. I'VE are furnishing
great deal of material for the manu-
faoture of munitions, including
glycerine, potash, and sulphric ac-
i'd. Our sheep skins are used to
manufacture cold-proof coats.
Every pound of wool that we
have is taken by the Government as
fast as we produce it, and the price
is fixed by the Government.
There is not pound of stock
food manufactured today that is not
being used to help win the war, be-
cause it goes to put weight on live
stock that is badly needed by our
soldiers and sailors.
"The tons of fertilizer which we
crops that will be used later to feed
more soldiers to fight the HUN.
Glue has it's uses. Soap certainly is
big item. Albumen is another
highly important product; it is now
used in the construction of aero
planes.
There are also many other prod
ucts, too numerous to mention, not
one of which, 1 believe, does not
have an important place in the con-
duct of the war.

giving credit where credit is due
and l want to say that our labor has
performed cheerfully the giant tasks
set for us by the Food Administra.
ton. No order has been too big
no job too overwhelming for them
Recognition of this willingness
to serve has resulted in an increase
for male labor totaling more thar
100 per cent since February, 1916
In the case of our female help thu
increase has been even greater, this
help now receiveing 165 per cen
more than in 1916"
To take care of the war business
Mr.. Churchill said that all the pack
ers in the country had been forced
to build new freezers and building
of every description at cost two
to three times greater than pre-wat
cost
He paid tribute to the Govern
ment inspectors of the Bureau o
Animal Industry and of the arm,
who select the meat.
