A d d re ss D r. R . V . P ie rc e , Buffalo, N . Y . ■--------- } One of the most Interesting. of.tB t' stories of the late administration Is the story of the book and the big stick or— A lale of muck raking aud big stick ing. Upton Siuclalr, a novelist of the so cialistic type, wrote n liook called “The Jungle.” The book told some horrid things about the practices of .he Chicago packing houses. Its nauseating revela tions made many of Its readers—tem porarily, at least—practleers of the vegetarian regime. The Chicago packers had an easy an swer to Sinclair's book—“It Is not true!" Then President Roosevelt got hold of the book aud read It. You can fauey-to yourself what he thought about It. He said out loud, “Either It Is a pack of lies from beginning fo eud or It Is true.” The president thought there was no truth in the charges, hut was very willing to investigate. He sent experts to Chicago. When these Inspectors looked. Into the shambles of South Chicago they discovered that Upton Sinclair had told the truth ubout the filthy methods of the packers and the grave menace to the public health. Out came the big stick. Roosevelt notified the ftlends of the packers In the senate that unless con gress should pass a good meat Inspec tion hill lnstnnter he would tell the whole grewsome story of the revolting conditions 111 the big butcher shops of Paeklugtown. Here was cause for grief. The packers did not wnnt the truth made public. It would give both do mestic and foreign trade a big black eye. The cattlemen didn’t want the story mnde public. And the president assured both these Interests that he' did no want to harm them, but— The president said to them, .“Get busy.” The effect was magical. They got busy. The senate ON THE SAME DAY THE PRESIDENT GAVE OUT HIS ULTIMATUM attached the meat In spection bill as an amendment to the agricultural appropriation, and It went through without a dissenting vote. And the lower house was scarcely less prompt. That is the story of the book and the big stick, a story that will go down In American annals along with Old Hickory’s message to Calhoun. Upton Sinclair, a writer wfth convic tions and a purpose, combined with Theodore Roosevelt, a president with n will of his own, demonstrated that— Beneath the rule of men entirely great the muck rake and the big stick are mightier than the sword. THE OBSTINATE BOY. ,( If your boy Is a determined young chap who wants bis own way,’ Con gratulate yourself. Obstinacy Is a great asset iu the yap- ltal stock of manhood. It Is a force, to be sure, that nCeds proper aim and direction, hut It holds a large place In the makeup of the mental powers. It has to do largely with success or failure. The boy that Is hard to manage Is the boy with the stuff In him—the stuff that stays. The power of a horse is tremen dous, hut It needs to be curbed and directed. Properly harnessed and guided, the liorse Is powerful. So of tlie boy. He also needs curb ing and harnessing. Do not think your boy Is a bad boy because he wauts Ills own way. Those who auiouut to anything always want I heir own way—and get It. The way to manage a boy Who has a will of his own Is to manage him through his resson and Ills affections, not by force. Do not try to “break bis will.” He will need nil Ills surplus will power Inter on. When you break bis will you break Ills manhood. Even should yon succeed 111 coercing him you cannot be sure that he Is “con quered." He may lie deceiving you. And such deception on his part hurts the boy’s character. Oh. It is no easy work, this undertak ing to manage a high strung, forceful, high spirited l>oy! But It Is worth while. Mothers usually succeed better In such matters than fathers. The father may chastise and brow beat the boy. He may get the prom ise of obedience or sullen acquiescence, which will have no lasting effect. B u t- If the mother knows! She can appeal to the best tlmt Is In her son—Ills affection for her and his manliness. It is the only effective way to control a human spirit Utilize the hoy’s obstinacy. It will make a man of him. The world Is just beginning to ap preciate the effective force of the hu man will. It is the will power that does things. And If the will power Is to do things It must hare Its way. It may l i e guided and directed, but co erced- NEVER! Brick Making Commenced. KEEP THE ELIES OUT -À -. W indow and Door Screens. Steel Frame N ew Sliding W indow Screen—Best Ever.

It happens that there are two Mr. Jensen’s at this place. The one that had the runaway is Mr. Nel son Jensen, platiermau for the B. K.
