Dear Interested Mother,
Too many mothers have too
much interest in their children, in

this, the better will be the rela-

she is not you'd choice but after
all,he is the one that has to live
with her. If she is not of the right
caliber he will eventually break
his own neck: ii has been done
too many times. When he serves
the relationship of his own accord
then he will have no one to blame.
otherwise he will fault the one
that was instrumental in pointing

some of them brought home less

They have asked the Packers to
grant them a Is cent hour raise
so that they will not face the flu

the employers have failed to make

The Packing workers did their

costs in the meat packing indus

To give labor a decent wage is
not only in the workers interest,

Yes, by golly, there's one thing
that all Chicago knows about: the

yards may be one of the reasons
why the yards wages and work

awaken refreshed, feeling tip top
If she doesn't, she should remain
in bed for a while, lie flat on her
back, breathe deeply. lifting the
chest high drawing in the muscles
of the abdomen. The dull, heavy
feeling may be due to a lack of
oxygen. Deep breathing will some
times give relief from headache.
Deep-breathing stirs up tagging
blood streams, increases body heat
And don't start the day with too
many projects in mind. Do each
task as it comes. Don't think
about the others that are on the
calendar. Thinking about work is
often as fatiguing as doing it.
When you are feeling raggedly,
the last thing you want to do is
to exercise. Do it, anyway. Alert
your muscles as well as the circu-

high above your head, lift up your
toes, take a deep breath. Exhale,
relax, and repeat. Extend the arms
