 WILL BE PERFECTED

Washington, Dec. 31.-Chairman Lever of the house agriculture com
 mittee announced today after a con- ference with Secretary Houston, that legislation to insure the maintenance Iof the government wheat guaranteed price for the 1919 crop was being drafted by the department of agricul- ture and that he would introduce it in congress within few days Mr. Lever said the legislation would , authorize the President to continue operation of the food administrations
 grain corporation or create new agency for buying, selling and storing the 1919 crop. A revolving fund of
 0,000,000 for the use of the cor pOration also would be provided. "The government" MT. Lever said, will buy all of the 1919 crop and sell | it at the world price, whatever that
 may be- He added that the govern
 ment might lose large sum by main- , taining the price, but that. it Was
 necessary to keep faith with the farm CTS.
 While the world wheat reserve soon to be released was not now known, MT. Lever said, Australia has supply of 3O0,O00,000 bushels, and Argentina, India, and other countries probably have large stocks, the sale of which might affect the export demand and
 reduce prices.

possible for us to fill these prompt ly, and instead of distributing our goods more quickly, they are really slowing up the process.
 We believe that we can serve you better now by reverting to our form CT policy of shipping exclusively thru the jobber, and effective immediate ly, no more drop shipments will be made.
 While we have put on a night shift and have, thereby, about doubled our production, we are still unable to fill our back orders and won't' be able to give each jobber all the VapoRub he wants. Hence, it will be neces- sary for the jobbers to continue dis tributing VapoRub in small lots only. But we will be able to furnish each jobber at least twice the quantity of VapoRub that he purchased for the corresponding month last year, 50 there should not be any difficulty in your getting your pro rata share.
 We feel that the public appre- ciates the service that the retail and wholesale drug trade have rendered the country in this time of stress. We wish to cypress to both branches of the trade our thanks for the kind cooperation extended us in our ef- fort to meet this emergency.

Secretary of Navy Asks Congress To Increase Pay of Men ,o That Paid During War.

Washington, Dec. .-Secretary Daniels in appearing today before the House naval committee to explain the navy's needs as regards personnel until a permanent establishment can ion of the peace conference, urged that hereafter naval officers be pro- noted on merit.
 The secretary recommended an amendment that would withdraw all application of seniority in making pro motions and also suggested that ofr1- cers in each grade be permitted to sel- ect men for promotion to successive grades instead of continuing the pres ent system of having all selections made by single board.
 Increased pay fO rthe men of the navy was recommended by MT. Daniels who asker the committee to write into the new naval bill a provision making permanent the war time pay increases of from $6 to $15 for enlisted men. This would make the pay range from $36 to $51 d month. The secretary also asked that one months pay be given navy men as a gratuity when they are discharged from the service
 In explaining to the committee fthat the department would not now ask for any increase in the permanent enlist ed strength of the navy, secretary Daniesl said temporary, increase should be authorized to include 60,oo0 temporary regulars and 53,OO0 of the reserves for operating transports, as a total of 250,000 men would be needed for naval ships and transports.
 To give the 2,000 additional officers necessary for the permanent estab- lishment by July 1920, Mir. Daniels said it was proposed to transfer 1000 reserve officers to the regular estab- lishment to rang as ensigns and Lieu tenants. These, with 460 ensigns from the naval academy next June and 6OO in June 1920, would make up the need ed number.

ed in the love of little girls for their
dolls and in the devotion of boys to
their pets If this quality Of nurture,

it withers; for affections must be ex-
ercised if they are to develop. We
often see spoiled children in Ameri-
lean families, where all their desires
are gratified without effort on their
own part and they are given no OPP
portunity to serve. Many mother
virtually makes a slave of herself for
her children, humoring every whim,
and relieving them OF all care, trou-
BILE and responsibility, only to be
find when they are grown that they
are utterly selfish and incOnsiderate.
Unfortunate, too, is the only child
or the youngest member of the family
who is overindulged with no more
dependent member of the household
to call forth his tender feelings.
For the child without companions
in the home the parent should pro-
vide occasions that require service or
sacrifice for others. Arrange to have
his friends come frequently to play
with your little one, and share his
toys, suggesting that the little guests
must have the best.
Adaptabllity is gaining through
companionship with ones equals.
From association with boys, little
girls learn something of fair play,
and become acquainted with the
the sturdier virtues; while, from
girls, the boys learn to have a Chi
yalrous attitude toward womankind.
The instinct of nurture is develop
ed through the care of garden or
! pets for child must exercise
thought and put it into practice, in
order to obtain results. Then, too,
generosity and respect are stimu-
lated by sharing the fruits of his
care, little bouquet for mother, a
head of lettuce for a neighbor, an
extra kitten for "a playmate.
If pets have young, the child's
mother should call attention to the
care of the mother for her little ones
whenever the young are endangered
A child should be taught to take en-
tire care for his garden, if he is to re
ceiye the full benefit in character
development and achieve the self
respect which comes from RESPONSE
bilities accepted.
Then, too, good pNnners wh'ch

essential to the happiness of the
