CHILDREN GROW SLOWLY, COM
PARED WITH FARM ANIMALS

Kansas City, MO.-Charts cOmpaT-
ing the growth of children with that
of farmyard animals have been work
ed out by DIR. Samuel Brody of the
Missouri Agricultural Experiment
Station.
DIR. Brody shows that a child be-
tween four and fourteen years grows
at the rate of only 1879 a year, where
as young farm animals grow at the
rate of 10000 in a pear. This means
that in less than four days the young
animals gain as much as the child
gains in a year.

A BROKEN ENGAGEMENT

Dear Miss Vera:

much in love with a fellow who is a
few month younger than l. | met him
two years agO-after going together
for three months we became secretly
engaged. Later we decided that since
we should hav to wait such a long
time to get married, we would break
our engagement-but it was with the
understanding that some day we would
marry. After that decision he seemed
to be Indifferent and finally ceased
writing.

Dear Jack, your letter is one of tn

GETTING RID OF THE CHEW

The tobacco chewer is a Slave-an
abject slave to one of the most relent-
less habits. l believe the habit is wan
ing in many localities; the filthy Gus
pidor is under the ban-and still
thousands of men chew. The sales of
chewing tobacco will justify the con-
clusion.
Let Inc assume that you would like
to be rid of this zoe of harmony in
the household. Very few men would
kiss a wife that had a chewer's lips
and teeth-yes, and breath. How a
wife can endure, and love a maxwell
the tobacco chewer must have more
re-deeming traits than | possess if ne
still claims his wife's undying devO-
ton.
The best way to rid ones self of a
drug habit is gradual withdrawal of
the drug; this plan of mine makes it
comparatively easy. The habit of
having something in the mouth-the
psychological impulse is perhaps the
hardest feature to overcome. Some
people chew toothpicks, tips of lead
pencils, bits of wood-habitually from
a nervous state of which they are un-
conscious.
The best way to quit chewing to-
bacco is to bug yourself a supply OF
chewing gum; chew couple of cakes
until the sugar is all extracted and the
''wax" is tasteless. Then add to this
nip" from your favorite plug-it
will chew very nicely. You will, il
time, become accustomed to the
smooth, pliable mass, which has the
tobacco flavor-it does not crumble, o.
force so much expectoration. In time
you will find a ''chew" of this kline
will last half day, and can be carried
mnoticed. AS time goes on-maybe ;
month-lessen the tobacco, and you
will find you can do on the meres
taste of tobacco flavor. This way on
is very easy. Try it. l will guarante,
your success, if you follow directions
and really want to quit.
