Word to Parenta

A child's nature should be allowed
to unfold In the sunny atmosphere of
love and trust. BY studying his needs,
parents can help to bring out the best
in him, thus forestalling that coldness
and lack of sympathy which we regret
to see between parents and those
adult children whose attitude toward
life is emblttered because. when they
were young and affectionate. they
were subjected to the chilling effect Of
the consciousness that little sister
or brother always stood first In their
parents affection.-Exchange.

NEW LOCK IS KEYLEss
10 50 Simple in Operation That
Small Child Can Easily
Open Doors.

A keyless lock, recently placed
upon the market, resembles in ap-
pearance almost any other door
Jock in a general way, having q
handsome door plate and knob, but
at the right side and little below
the knob is q series of four small
levers. These operate in various
combinations known only to those
who are permitted free access to
the house, and can be changed to
a different combination when neces-
sity demands. The lock can be
adjusted so that it will lock on
closing or by turning the small
button beneath the knob. It il
opened by pulling upward one or
more times on one or more of the
levers at the side.
So simple is the operation that
a child too small to unlock a door
by means of a key can readily gain
admittance with q keyless lock.
This keyless mechanism can be at
tached to any standard lock, so that
the purchase of an entire new lock
is not necessary in order to have
the advantages of the keyless lock.
A keyless paddock is also manu-
featured with 38,O05 different com.
binatiOns.
