He simply goes ahead to do the very best he can the thing he has decided to do. Reddy and Mrs. Reddy were having hard work to get enough to eat. Yes, sir, they were having hard work to find enough food. As for having all they wanted they never did these days.

You know there is a big difference between having enough of anything and having all you want. Enough is Just what is absolutely needed, and all you want almost always very much more than that. The meat eaters of the Green Forest and the Green Meadows usually have a hard time getting enough to eat in winter. Seldom do they get all they want. Reddy Fox and Mrs.

Hard Knocks School Often Better Than College Degree By DOROTHY DIX Dear Miss Dix-We have a son who is 16 years of age, is 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighs 165 pounds. He is a nice boy, good, clean, no bad habits and plenty of good, hard common sense for boy of his age. But apparently he has an abhorrence for school. We have tried every way in the world to make him see the importance of getting an education, but without avail. We have changed schools hoping that he might contact some teacher who would rouse his interest in study, but it was always the same thing.

He showed no desire and made no attempt to learn. Simply wasted time. Even a vocational school made no appeal to him. Last summer to keep him off the streets we secured job for him in one of the chain stores, and, lo! and behold, he seemed to be in his element working. He was happy and contented and interested.

When his vacation was over he begged to continue on with his job with the understanding that he would go to night school, but even this has failed, for he has dropped the night school. He has a good home, care and love for all, but no matter what any one says about school it is too bad. The only thing that appeals to him is work. Is there anything I can do about this school issue? ANXIOUS FATHER. ANSWER Nothing, except to have wisdom enough to accept the situation and let the boy follow the line that nature made out for him.

Quit nagging him about going to school. Don't implant an inferiority complex. in his mind by letting him see that you consider him some sort of a moron because he doesn't want to go to school. Instead of that, encourage him to do the thing that be likes to do and wants to do and that God tntened him to do or else He would not have given him the kind of brain that He did. School of Hard Knocks Just remember that' all education does not come put up in schoolbooks, nor is a college degree any guarantee of success.

Rev. Reba Post will read the service. there was no more pathetic sight than a Phi Beta Kappa key dangling from the pocket of a soda jerker. And it is true. Most of the men in this country who are running things in every community, from New York and Washington to Squedunk and Rabbit Track, got their education in the School of Hard Knocks instead of Harvard or Yale.

Each of us must learn things according to the bent of mind that we have, and it may be that your boy, working in a store, meeting people, learning how to judge men and women and how to handie them, acquiring a trade, hearing every subject under the sun discussed, learning how to keep books, learning the intricacies of business, is learning more psychology and mathematics and history than he could learn in any school. Don't Force Education Anyway, he is acquiring the only education that he will take, and it is an education that he can cash in on and make a living. There are men who are born business men, just as definitely as there are men who are born writers, or artists, or actors, or doctors, or lawyers, and their parents interfere with their following their predestined careers at their peril. The easiest way in the world to turn a boy into a loafer and an idler is by making him go to school when he wants to go to work. Don't do it.

She saw it in his eyes. She guessed that he had decided to stay, but wisely she didn't say so. She had noticed that as he approached he had limped a little. Wisely she said nothing about that, either. Reddy flung himself down on the snow beside her.

"I've made up my mind." said he. "I thought you had." replied Mrs. Reddy softly. Reddy looked surprised. "Well." said he.

"what nave you decided?" "Then you'll stay." said he "To do whatever you do." replied Mrs. Reddy. There is no more perfectly mated couple in all the Green Forest than these two. Reddy grinned. It was a tired, disappointed sort of grin.

"Then you'll stay." said he. "All right, we'll stay," replied Mrs. Reddy, and grinned in her turn. "Tell me why." she added. "It is safer said Reddy.

He put out the foot with which he had limped and began licking it. Mrs. Reddy saw that a toe WAS gone. trap?" she asked. going over and beginning to lick the wound for him.

"A trap," agreed Reddy. "You know there are no traps around here." He meant on Farmer Brown's land. Neither hunting nor trapping is allowed there. "I thought I knew something about traps and where to look for them, but this was set differently from any I had seen before. Finding out about it cost me toe.

Ouch! That place is sore." "You poor dear. You were just unlucky." said Mrs. Reddy softly. and continued to gently lick sore place. Reddy shook his head in a most decided manner.

"Wrong, my dear." said he. "I was lucky, not unlucky." "Do you mean you were lucky to lose a toe? The idea!" cried Mrs. Reddy, "Instead of a foot or even my life." replied Reddy. "Yes, my dear, I was lucky. I saw a trap with foot in it." "You mean?" said Mrs.

Burgess) The next story: "Other Things That Reddy Saw." Nicotinic Acid Numerous inquiries recently received indicate there is popular notion that nicotinic acid is a modification of or has some relation to nicotine. Nicotinic acid has no tion with and no resemblance to nicotine. That the name "nicotinic acid" suggests to the uninitiated is not surprising; in the index of 22nd edition (1937) of United States Dispensatory both nicotine and nicotinic acid are mentioned as on p. 1621, but 1621 deals with nicotine and not eevn mention nicotinic acid, an understandable confusion in the mind of the Girl Friday who compiled the index. Nicotinic acid is one tities or components of the natural vitamin complex.

Chemically it is beta beta-pyradine-barboxylis acid. It would be equally misleading to infer that nicotinic acid acts as an acid in the stomach or in the blood or tissues. Everybody needs a certain amount of nicotinic acid every day to maintain functional health. When the daily intake of nicotinic acid is insufficient, there is danger of developing pellagra. Just how much nicotinic acid a child or adult must have daily to prevent manifestation of pellagra or to maintain vigorous health has not as yet been determined, but the average daily less requirement is estimated to be not than 10 milligrams.

An average medicinal dose, for the insufficient nicotinic acid intake, is 50 to 100 milligrams daily. Sometimes 300 to 500 milligrams may be given at a single dose. (A milligram is approximately one-sixtieth of a grain). Besides outspoken pellagra from to treme prolonged deprivation of or exdeficiency in the intake of nicotinic acid, some other condito tions due to nicotinic acid deficiency and preventable and curon able by increased intake of nicotinic acid are blacktongue in dogs, sore tongue and canker sores in the mouth, poor appetite. diarrhea, mental dullness.

and some cases of migrainous headachesingle 100 milligram dose of nicotinic acid by mouth has aborted migraine attack, with no ill after -effects. Nicotinic acid has proved remarkably beneficial in the of many cases of skin which purports to be treatment, chronic eczema and is apparently the typical or a typical skin lesion of pellagra. Progressive physicians are now recognizing the frequency of partial or moderate deficiency disease in the general population. notwithstanding some half-baked utterances of shrewd publicityhunters who sought curb the "vitamin craze" recently--by citing ancient hospital records, which, of course, would give no reliable evidence on the question. Unless or until methods of precise testing of the patient's supply and requirement of the diferent vitamins are developed, the use of vitamins to prevent or cure common ailments must remain matter for the judgment of the physician or for the experimentation of the layman-again I say without fear of contradiction that there is no danger of any one getting too much of any vitamin he or she pleases to take.

(Copyright, John I. Dille Co.) Husband's Love Is First Dear Dorothy Dix-1 am desperately afraid of losing my husband. When my mother died I was pily married and living in another city where my husband was tablished in business. Father her death SO hard I broke housekeeping and came home help him get over it. It has years since then and he refuses let me go back to my husband, who can only come to see me week-ends.

It is a very long and he is tired of taking it. week-end recently he didn't to see me and I know he has going with another woman, makes me worry. My father get married, as he has a couple nice women friends, or he hire some one to keep house him. What should I do? UNEASY. ANSWER You've certainly got to decide which one you care the most for, your husband or your father.

You can't live with your father in order to make him comfortable and leave your husband to shift for himself and expect him to like it. The wonder is that he has stood for your desertion as long as he has. Many a woman loses her husband through her devotion to her family. She spends her time ministering to her father or her mother, or she puts their pleasure and comfort before her husband's. She makes him feel that she belongs to them instead of him.

and it makes him, first, jealous, then hurt by her indifference, and then he goes out and seeks consolation from some other woman who devotes herself to keeping him entertained and amused instead of rubbing her mother's rheumatism Your father must be a singularly selfish man if he is willing to break up your marriage for the sake of keeping you with him. And don't forget that when he takes a notion to marry he won't refrain from doing so because of the sacrifice you have made for him. So you may find yourself without a husband or a job as Papa's housekeeper. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright, Ledger Syndicate) PARTICULAR? Then Dine in HOTEL OLDS DINING ROOM Karl B.
