sIDEWIsE OR BACK TO TEMPTATION

For instance, if one has been in the
habit Of getting up a half hour late IN the
morning, instead OF breaking the bad
habit of getting up n little earlier every
morning. 1 think it is easier to get up
the half hour earlier at once and at least
make a gallant attempt to keep TO that
every day.
There's a dnflnitcncSS about such thor
ouEh measures that makes 1t easier to
my way Of thinking. 10 get out OF the
old rut.
The thing is put absolutely out Of
your mind and before you know IT you
have forgotten that there is any other
way to do but the right way
Good Habits Aren't So Dimcu1t, Really.
And. really. il is remarkable how easy
II is to form a good habit il you can get
your mind set in tho right direction.
When was in college. some Of us who
wcr" Interested in Athletics went into
training before our athlctir meet. One
feature Of this training was n limita-
tion of our sweets. We were allowed
just so much candy n day. and on. how
hard il was never to 20 beyond that
limit,
II was also our custom to give up
candy altogether during Lent and after
the first Gay or two I found il very
easy l didn't think about wanting
sweets because / didn't think anything
about them.

CITY GIVES $500
ApprOpriates Money To Present
Medals for Soldiers.
Couay To Furnish Similar Sum
&c. of c. VIII Help.

The city commissioners voted this
morning to subscribe $500 to the fund
being raised by the city commission
ers, the county commissioners and a
committee from the Chamber of
Commerce. to buy decorations to be
given to each soldier, marine and sail
or from Shawnee county, when he re-
turns from the service.
The fund will require about $1,000.
The county commissioners have
agreed to furnish $500 provided the
claim gets past the auditor. Accord
ing to members of the commission
they have no doubt but that the claim
will go thru.
w. H. Wasson, city commissioner of
finance. said this morning, following
the meeting in which the measure was
voted thru, that he did not know just
where the money would come from.
All the money the city has to spend
is each year portioned off in the
budgets of the various city. depart
ments and the expenditure of prac-
tically every penny is accounted for.
Wasson said, however. that every
member of the city commission was
strongly in favor of seeing that the
men were given some sort of decor
alton in recognition of their services
and that each commissioner would be
perfectly willing to cut into the bud
get of his own department in order
to raise the $500 or more, if it should
prove necessary.

SLOW HOME COMING
British Ships for CoIonists Is Reason
Baker Says.

Washington, March 3.-Secretary
Baker before the business conference
here today said one reason why the
return of troops has been slowed up
is that Great Britain withdrew troop
ships to carry home New Zealand.
Canadian and Australian soldiers who
had been in service longer than Amer
leans. which, he said, was a perfectly
proper procedure. He reiterated that
by April 100000 American troops
would be returning monthly.
The war department, the secretary
said, is much interested in meg
to provide jobs for returning soldiers.
Tribute to Labor.
Speaking of the fear of period of
unemployment entertained by some,
Secretary Daniels said:
Il am not one of those who believes
there will be general Unemployment.
The demand of the world for what
America makes will be so great there
will be a job for every man who wants
to work"
He paid this tribute to labor:
Labor heard the call as truly as
the men who wore the uniform"
