 Your Children
By Olive ROberts BartOA

The other day a mother told me that her children "just adore going to their fathers office because everyone who works for him is so lovely to them."
 Well, that's the mothers story. But there is different side. The side of the poor employees who are nice to the children-or else! Of course they praise the boss young ones-whether they see anything to praise or not. It is only good business to be all admiring ex- clamationS.
 What does this do to the chil- dren? Well, 1t gives them a false sense of their own importance and will make even the incest children conceited.
 Handicap for Child
 They are put at 8 great disad- vantage-"made over" by those who feel compelled to excuse them and approve openly of everything they say or do.
 If 8 child grows up with very much of this kind of spelling, he is handicapped from the start. For he comes to count on unearned adulation as his natural right-and he soon has misconceived idea of his own importance.
 The other day I heard 8 mother say, I'm not going to take Bobby anywhere again. It takes me a week to get him back to normal after he has gone on a shopping trip with me" She wasn't exag- gerating the case very much, either.
 Given Wrong Perspective
 And Bobby is just an ordinary little boy. Probably very like your own small son.
 It is up to every mother to guard her child from too much attention too much 1imelight. His chances of growing up to amount to some thing depend on his getting early the right ideas about himself. Copyright, 1888, NEA Service, Incl

SEASON FOR PORK

Pork, being Q fatty meat produc- tive of bodily heat and energy, Is an excellent cold weather food. Good quality pork is firm, fresh colored, with solid white fat and 8 tender rind. It should always be cooked well done. For roast pork allow about half hours cooking to the pound. Some like the flavor of a bay leaf put in the pan with the roast. Leafy vegetables, green peas or beans, sweet potatoes and turnips are particularly good with pork; also apple sauce. fried apple rings or baked apples.

USE MORE BUTTER" PROGRAM

An extra ten ounces of butter is
on hand for every man, woman and
child in the United States. The 81
900, 900 dairymen Of the nation are
combining their efforts in order to
get each of us to eat our share of
that extra butter during the next
two months. If we do so it will
be a real help to our dairymen and
to the prosperity of every commun-
ity where dairying is practiced.
A nationwide campaign is now
under way to move this butter. Win
dow and counter advertising display
material is being supplied to retail
food stores and attractive Newspaper
advertising material is also availble
to them. These sales aids are being
supplied through funds appropriated
by butter and dairy interests all
over the country.
The week of December STA has
been set aside for special selling ef-
forts in retail stores, at which times
customers will be met with the sug-
gestion that they buy and use extra
butter. This will be followed by a
similar week of extra merchandising
effort, from January 1918.
Back of this campaign are found
dairy marketing cooperatives rep
resented by the National Cooperative
Milk Producers Federation, with
headquarters at Washington, large
butter manufacturers and dealers,
hundreds of local creameries, the
National Association of Food Chains,
and numerous groups of privately
owned and independent food stores.
Government reports show that on
November 1, 1898, there were 1884,
751, 1000 pounds of butter in storage
in this country. The five-year 1888
1887 inclusive) average storage sup
ply on November / was 119,14S
pounds, difference of 74,603,00O
pounds of butter, which amounts to
an excess supply of just about ten
ounces per person.
Experts in butter merchandising
express the opinion that in order to
maintain sound butter price struc-
ture next season, the present large
supply must be reduced to an ap-
proximately normal level within the
next two weeks. The price received
by all dairymen is dependent large
ly upon butter prices. With one
quarter of the national farm income
coming from dairy products, the re-
lation of butter prices to farm pros
perity, and in turn to national
prosperity, is obvious.

NEWEST OF HUDSON SAFETY
FIRST WINS FEMININE


Women drivers of the new 1899
Hudsons are enthusiastically COM
menting upon the feeling of driving
safety brought about by the intro
duction of Auto-Poise Control, Hud-
sons new contribution to stability
and car control, according to Mr..
Arthur A. Armour, Hudson distri-
butor of this section.
''The action of Auto-Poise Con-
troll in holding front wheels on their
true course automatically despite
cross winds and road shock is re-
sponsible for this new feeling of
security at the wheel, but little do
the ladies realize that Auto-P Disc
Control is more than a feeling of
security, it is an actual guardian of
their safety in emergencies such as
tire punctures or blow-outs.
Citing the absence of car swerve
in a recent blowout test in which
the left front tire and tube ON a
Hudson 112 Sedan were blown out
while the car was travelling at 60
miles an hour as conclusive proof of
how Auto-Poise Control operates to
safeguard all drivers, particularly
women, Mr.. Armour said: "All cars
today built with certain amount of
self-steering based on ground-to-
wheel contract, but when travelling
at high speed over anything but the
smoothest roads, the front tires of
"a car repeatedly leave the ground,
momentarily multiplying this self
steering effect.
At such times the driver has to
supply all the steering by turning
the wheel himself. When compile
ated by gusts of wind from the side
or by a puncture or blowout, this
manual control of direction is some
times not fast enough to prevent a
swerve which might be dangerous.
An exclusive Hudson development
never before utilized in the indus
ty, Auto-Poise Control consists of q
spring steel leverage device with the
ends angled back to form shock
cusioned mechanical arms, connect
ed directly to the wheel spindle
forging. These mechanical arms
tend to resist forces which turn the
wheels from their ture course
whether it is wind, road shock,
puncture or blowout.
