“The BosWBocy/
Your
Children

AID DAD IN KEEPING CHILD’S
LOVE
If mothers think they have a
rocky row to hoe, how about
fathers? Every once in a while
the spirit moves me to write about
male parents, but a little story
I heard today inspires me to pick
up my pen a bit earlier thin my
custom and appear for the de
fense. I think these poor gentle
men need defending, from a lot
of things.
A little boy had a dollar. He
said speculatively as he eyed his
prize, "I think I’ll give this to you
and Mom.”
“How much would I get?” ask
ed his father.
“Twenty-five cents!” came the
prompt reply.
lie’s ust Dad.
“Well, I like that! Your moth
er would get three times as much
as I would. Is that fair?”
“Sure!” said sonny, “You’re
just my Dad because you live
here, but I’m Mom’s by borna
tion.”
You see, children know in a
vague way a good bit about life.
They know anyway that babies
and mothers are an inseparable
unit. Besides they see all material
comfort and accommodations com
ing from theii; mother, and their
world move about her.
Father has a difficult role. He
Distinctive Ensemble
Here it a stylish Spring ensemble,
which, fashion unions aver, will be
very popular this coming season.

faced wool whir'- permits the gar
ment to be rev.. .:ed, while the hat

may be manipulated to suit the
individual face.
begins first of all with that handi
cap.
Secondly, unless he is a cross
between Sir Galahad, Santa Claus
and Joel Chandler Harris, he is
further handicapped by lack of
appeal.
To be a mere man, who comes
home tired, reads the paper and
after awhile says it’s bed ime,
isn’t what one might call drawing
the masses.
He has one advantage of
course. He never becomes an old
story, and if he lacks the pictur
esque touch or the Barnum in
fluence. the children with that
handy imagination of theirs dress
him with manufactured sentiment
and let it go at» that.
But it is very hard to live up to
a role recreated for one. Just lei
the head of the family show his
feet of clay (and what dad doesn’t)
and down comes the idol, kersmash.
Some Are Discouraged
In so many cases too, the day’s
hangovers are left for him to set
tle Eobby smashed a lamp, and
“just wait till your father comes
home — he’ll fix you” Or Daisy’s
tooth has ached all day and

Dr. Smith isn’t going back to his
office. It would only take a min
ute to pull that tooth and she
(mother; can't stay up another
night.
Probably a thousand mothers
take their children to dentists and
doctors to every single father. But
the fact is that seldom are the
pleasant things saved up for him to
do. Think it over.
I am taking it for granted that
dad is working all day until he is
bone tired and in no stat of mind
to be winsome with any one.
Keep Filial Love Alive
Now today we have the dis
couraged, worried father who is
unable to provide his family with
comforts or even actual necessi
ties.
Never before in all our history
has the family man needed a cham
pion as much as he does today.
Added to his other troubles is the
self abasement that comes with
failure — failure that is not his
fault but that sears his self esteem
nevertheless. And this father must
dread to think how he appears in
the eyes of his offspring.
It is too cruel — too unfair!
Everything in the power of a wife
and mother should be brought to
bear In keeping the love and re
spect of the children for their
father alive.
R. F. C. Funds Used

Tyler. Tex. —(UP)— Part of the
R. P. C.’s relief funds have been

Bureau for work. He was given a
job on a road project financed by
a R. F. C. loan. He worked three
days, earned $3.75.

tire sum had been spent for a
violin.

burglar started working at his
profession in the Guy E. Johnson
home he discovered that the
Johnson family used a lot of close
co-operation.
Mr. and Mrs. Johnson and their
daughter, Myrtle, came home

covered that their home had been
ransacked. Hiding in the closet
they found J. Keith Guild, a pa
roled convict, armed to the teeth.
Johnson grabbed the burglar
and while they were milling about
the bedroom two shots were fired
by the intruder. While Johnson
was wrestling with Guild, Mrs.
Johnson and Myrtle were hustling
around the outskirts of the melee
trying to get in a telling blow.
Mrs. Johnson finally was success
ful when she cracked the burglar
over the head with a butcher
knife- and laid him low.
Neighbors, hearing the sounds
of battle, telephoned police who
arrived after the scrap and tool?
the burglar to jail.

No Santa Claus
for the Grownup
A prominent minister the other dny
deplored the sort of faith that be
lieves in a “wonder-working God”—
that expects miracles. I believe he
meant that It Is a cheap sort of faith
becuuse it makes things ensy for the
one who believes. It lifts the respon
sibility for life right off one's shoul
ders and places It upon one’s faith.
This seems to me a strikingly re
vealing point, which, aside from the
religious reference, Is applicable to
much in our dally lives.
There Is the tremendous faith of
some of us In our friends—which Is
blasted at the first suggestion of dis
appointment or disillusionment.
And the faith In an Idea—In Its
perfection—until It strikes the first
snag in the process of working out.
And the faith of some people In
themselves—until they find the first
Job that is too big, when they lose
all self-confidence.
Thnt sort of faith is like n child's
faith in Santa Claus. He believes be
cause he wants to believe. To get
what he wnnts he needs only to pin
a letter to his stocking the night be
fore Christmas. It's up to Santa to
work the miracle.
But for us grownups there Is no
Santa Claus. And In this day and
age there are no miracles—except
those we work for ourselves. Our
faiths are probably the most Im
portant element In our lives. There
is something revesting about our
selves in where we place them. And
once we do place them there Is some
thing revealing In how we maintain
them. It merits the gift of some
thing In ourselves. It is not an ensy
faith or a cheap faith. The Idea is
not only to have faith, but to KEEP
faith.

English Farmers Defy
Collectors of Tithes
To defend themselves ngainst seiz
tire of stock following nonpayment
of titles, several hundred farmers In
the Kent district of England have or
ganized themselves Into nn nrmy.
They nre working along war lines,
and when three large trucks were
sent recently to collect at ten farms
the representatives of the law were
routed without any of the 89 lots
sought. A body of men Is kept on
farms where seizures may be at
tempted, and a small nrmy is sta
tioned in the village square ready to
hasten to any farm when the signal,
the firing of rockets, Is given.—

Stronger than He Was at Twenty
FIFTY-FIVE years old, and still
going strong!
Do you want the secret of such
vitality? It isn’t what you cat, or
any tonic you take. It’s something
anyone can do—something you can
start today and see results in a
week! All you do is give your vital
organs the right stimulant.
A famous doctor discovered the
way to stimulate a sluggish system
to new energy. It brings fresh vigor
to evtry organ. Being a physician’s
prescription, it’s quite harmless.
Tell your druggist you want a bottle
of Dr. Caldwell's syrup pepsin. Get
the benefit of its fresh laxative
herbs, active senna, and that pure
pepsin. Get that lazy liver to work,
those stagnant bowels into action.
Get rid of waste matter that is slow
poison so long a9 it is permitted to
remain in the system.
The new energy men and women
feel before one bottle of Dr. CaldwelTs
syrup pepsin has been used up is
proof of how much the system needs
this help.
Get a bottle of this delicious
syrup and let it end that constant
worry about the condition of the
bowels. Spare the children those
bilious days that make them miser
able. Save your household from the
use of cathartics which lead to
chronic constipation. And guard
against auto-intoxication as you
grow older.
Dr. Caldwell’s syrup pepsin is
such a well known preparation you
can get it wherever drugs arc sold
and it isn’t expensive.
