play nicely with Donnie?"
"But he spoiled my elevator I was

he always have to bother me?"
There are bound to be problems

Ralph has reached stage when his
construction is very meaningful tc
him, while Donnie is as yet almost
as much interested in knocking dowr

hardly a reason for letting him con-

Too many parents are oblivious o.
the fact that by taking sides with
the younger child they are doing hin

A decline of rs percent in the
alcoholism rate in the United
States Army since its last peak in
1922, was recorded in 1910, accord
ing to the annual report of Major
General James c. Magee, Surgeon
General, which he's just been pub
lished by the U. S. Government
Printing Office.
A graph charting the rate of hos
publications for alcoholism shows
that its last upsurge in the Army
was exactly coincidental with the
prohibition period between 1920
and 1882, and that there has been
a constant and gratifying decline
in alcoholism and a corresponding
increase in moderation since re-
peal of the Eighteenth Amend
ment.
From a low Of 23 per 1000 men
in 1919, the alcoholism rate in the
Army jumped to 11.5 in 1922, and
was over per 1000 in every year
of the DRY" era. 1t has been drop
ping since 1888.
Annual rates of Army hospital
admissions for alcoholism follow:

Ans.-Treatment for worms invoices

have not been faithful in following
out his instructions. Or perhaps you
are continuing to expose yourself to
worms from some outside source such
as infested fish, etc. 1t is unlikely
