BY Mrs. Wilson Woodrow.

Dear Mrs. Woodrow Please
print in your column your opinion
Of the following circumstances and
what you would do If you were in
my place.
81 was married ten months ago
and my husband and / went to live
in another city. He was very good
to me, but | was lonesome. l am
an only child, and / missed my
mother terribly. We stayed there
four months, but l was so miser-
able that l made my husband give
up his position and come back
home.
"It seemed impossible for him to
get located here. don't know
whether he didn't try hard enough
or whether luck was against him.
He had left a very good position
and he seemed discouraged because
he couldn't get anything like 1t
here. gave him some money, a
few hundred dollars, a part of
which we lived on for three months.
At the end of that time he left me.
"a few days ago he came back.
He told me that he had been in a
hospital suffering from a nervous
breakdown. He had drawn the rest
of the money / haa given him to
pay his doctor bills. He realized
his mistake and begged me on his
knees to take him back.
My mother says that she can
not trust me to him any more, that
If he left me once he would do so
again, that he stole my money, in
other words, he was a thief, and
would do anything. She used to
love him, but now she hates him,
and l don't blame her. He was a
man who was very well thought
Of; every one who met him compli-
mented me on my choice.
He was always very kind and
affectionate to me- ana 1 adored
him. But now I don't know what
to do. There is 4 good position
waiting for him Is soon as he
comes from camp-I forgot to say
that he is in the army.
II am afraid to sisk living with
him again. What ssall doT Shall
forgive him? Dd you think he
deserves it? Would / be risking
my future happiness to live with
him again? Though he is heartily
sorry for his act. h lw can l ever
believe him and trust pim! Thank

Confidence Men Get
$4,000 Liberty Bonds

st. Louis, Mo.,-The timeworn
box trick cost Tony Maccki, of this
city, $4,000 In Liberty bonds. Mac
cki, who runs a lunch stand, said
he became acquainted with a young
man named Hugo" The two had
planned to buy and operate a chain
of candy stores.
Maccki was introduced to an older
man, an al eyed gold mine operator,
who asked Maccki to take care of
$4,000 for him. Maccki, to show
his good faith, drew his money from
the bank. All the money was sup
posed to have been put in n black
box and given to Maccki to keep
until the men returned. When Mac
cki's wife became suspicious, the
box was opened and two 81 bills
and pieces of newspaper were found

MAKING THE MOST OF
OUR CHILDREN
A Series of Plain Talks to
Parents
By Ray c. Beery, ABB, MA.
President Of the Parents Association.

Children very easily fall into hab-
its. And habits once started are al
ways hard to break. 1t is obvious,
then, that we should be continually
on guard against the beginning of
habits that are not desirable.
But even habits already started
can be changed in q compa ratively
short time If we pay special attention
to the matter and use proper
methods.
To illustrate. let US take a very
simple case. A father writes to me:
will you kindly suggest
measures required in the follow
ing case? Boy age two
years. Has habit of throwing
papers and other articles from
chair or table. No amount of
coaXing or punishment will in
duce him to pick them up. He
always puts his toys away where
they belong but takes special
delight in throwing papers on
the floor and refusing to pick
thehm up. There certainly is
remedy, but we have failed to
find it,"
Give your two-year-old son a spe-
cial lesson on the point of picking
up papers. Put a chair near the
table, and before the child comes into
the room scatter papers all over
the floor around the chair. Have
no papers at all on the chair OF
table so that all the child can do is
to pick up the papers off the floor
| II he does anything with them al
all.
| Next, bring the child in and an.
pear to be very happy and enthusi.
astic. Exaggerate your motions az
! you reach down and pick up n pa.
per or twp and lay them neatly or
the chair. Have this chair near
enough to the one on which you are
sitting that in case the child should
make the least move toward the pa.
per on the chair, you could give him
little shock by saying quickly, No
mol" and even taking hold of the
offending hand and putting it dowr
with emphasis If necessary to keer
him from touching the papers which

cast lids staring at them. Then he
looked out on the avenue. His blue
eyes roved everywhere but toward
my face.
Virginia." he said. MRS. Jimmie
what does she say about me?"
gasped. / wanted to soften the
truth. But there was no way.
She has never spoken of you
to me-" l replied.
"Jeanie never mentions me?
Jeanie-well, I might have known
that she wouldn't. Have an ice,
Mrs. Jimmie? Really not? All
right then-check, please"
And my tea with Pat Dalton was
over.
Gravely at the door he put me
into taXicab, and stood with gray
head uncovered until we had rolled
far down the street ,and I couldn't
make out his figure any longer
through the little window at the
back of the cab.
WiiS an air of flnality he went
out of my life. But 1 know that
I've not done with Pat Dalton. And
wonder If Virginia is finished with
him"
ITO BE Continued)
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-12-31

you have put on the chair. Simply
prohibit that action altogether.
But encourage the least little move
he makes toward picking up n pa
per from the floor. Smile and say
Good! Ghat's right" If he slams
1t down on the floor again, do not
pay the slightest attention to that
act. If he puts the paper on the
chair or table. say very loudly
Fine"
After he does this the first time,
call his mother in from the other
room and say to her enthusiastically
when she enters, Mother, Harold
put the paper on the chair, YES,
sir. Isn't that fine?" This will en-
courage him to pick up other pa
pers and place them on the chair or
table and when he does. each time,
smile, show great enthusiasm and
make him think he is having a won
derful time.
For a few days while you are just
teaching him the new habit to take
the place of the old, do not allow
papers to be on the edge of the table
when you are very far away which
naturally would serve as too great
a temptation for him. You can give
! him special drill by having your
chair near the paper on the table
so that If he starts to reach for It,
you can aoid it, firmly lodging the
! suggestion that he is not to take
papers from the table. But when he
! isn't looking. put some papers down
/ on the floor again and suggest that
you are anxious to see him pick them
| up. Then approve him lavishly.
In this way you substitute a good
| habit for the bad.
| The common tendency on the part
! of most parents in dealing with q
similar case is. to continually put
papers and other things out of the
child's reach. This method has the
effect of driving deeper in the child's
mind the suggestion that he is bad
about throwing things and as a result
he naturally wilt row worse instead
of better.

When I arrived at the Clinsarge
restaurant and found Pat Dalton
waiting in the tiny foyer, 1 discov-
cred that we had the place almost

Handsome Pat" laughed:
Everyone comes to this little
restaurant for dinner - but the
world wants jazz bands to put q
kick in it's tea. So you see, I've put
you wise to a wonderful place to
come, Mrs. Jimmie-after the hon.
eymoon glamour wears off.

disgust, and then 1 remembered n
recent sermon on fact that Father
Andrew had delivered to me-"I'm
pretty sure that I'm at least ster-
ling, and I know my boy is pure
gold"
Gold wears better with a little
alloy, Mrs. Harrison" laughed Pat
Dalton cynically.
IT came to you because ! honestly
thought you needed help. Do you?"
asked stifily.

fashion-"and I'm needing a sup of

IT'S NOT YOUR HEART;
IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS

Kidney disease is no respecter of
persons. A majority Of the ills af-
flicting people today can be traced
back to the kidney trouble.
The kidneys are the most import
ant organs of the body. They are
the filterers of your blood. If the
poisons which are swept from the
tissues by the blood are not elimi-
mated through the kidneys, disease
of one form or another will claim
you as a victim.
Kidney disease is usually indicated
by weariness. sleeplessness. nervous
ness, dependency, backache, stom-
ach trouble. pain in loins and lower
abdomen, gall stones. gravel, rheu-
matism, sciatica and lumbago.

All these arrangements are ma

help. You should use GOLD MED

ately. The soothing, healing oil
stimulates the kidneys, relieves in
IIammation and destroys the germs
which have caused it. Go to your
druggist today and get a box of

GERMANS SEEK TO
 STIR UP NEGROES
EVIDENCE OF MONEY SPENT IN MISSISSIPPI, AMONG BLACKS, TO CAUSE TROUBLE IN EN- FORCING DRAFT LAW.

Jackson, Miss, April 1.-Evidence indicating German money is being used in Mississippi to encourage neg. roes to evade the selective draft law, is contained in a report filed by F. K. Ethridge, state inspector of local exemption boards. The report deals with conditions in Holmes county. where difficulty was experienced in getting negro registrants to report.
 Charges are made that in negro church known as the Church of God in Christ" pro-Cerman sermons were preached; that the sect. the head quarters of which are said to be in Los Angeles, several months ago erected a $100O0 church in the town of Lexington and that the pastor, hitherto an obscure negro preacher, recently built $25,00o home in Mem phis.

SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY MAKES STRONG APPEAL TO PATRiOTS-THoSE AT HOME MUST DO FULL DUTY.

One million eight hundred thousand serving in the army and navy of the United States Thousands of them are already on the battle fields of France. fighting and dying to save the liberties and rights of those who stay at home and to secure democ- brutality and military despotism. Their blood already consecrates the soil of noble France.
 Who can think of their heroic sac rifice without emotion?
 Who can contemplate their trials and sufferings, their dangers and struggles, without setting ablaze the fires of patriotism in his soul?
 Who can look on the blue jacket of the sailor or the khaki jacket of the soldier without admiration for the indOmitable hearts that beat beneath hearts that may soon be stilled in death as the price they pay to save civilization?
 We must support our gallant sol diers and sailors. We must make them swift victors in their fight with the kaiser. We can do it if we at home do our duty with the same quality of patriotism that annimates our men in the trenches. The least duty we can perfOrm-and we should be eager and happy to perform it. is to lend our money, every avail able dollar we have or can save, to our government in order that our gallant sons may be supplied with all they need to save America.
