When you have an old clock that refuses to run any more, it can be used in a sick room to tell when it is time for the next dose of medicine by moving the hands to the time it is to be taken. This makes it easy to remember. RKE KRISHIES Tfafrfet&ff' Rice Krispies equal the grain in nearly all the food elements declared human nutrition.

Other boys are in the position of Walt Baker, who writes me a blue and disgusted letter from one of the South Sea islands. "I am Just back from leave," says Waifs letter, "and up against all the discomforts and loneliness of this place. We get enough to eat; we're not in any immediate danger; we have movies and cigarettes but we're all so homesick that we can't talk of anything else but what we'll do when we get back! "But as far as I'm concerned I'd Just as soon go anywhere else than home, when the war is over," the letter goes on.

"From what I saw I don't believe my girl's going to wait for me," this despondent letter goes on. "There doesn't seem to be any place for me in any of their lives. I'd go in and sit on my mother's bed to talk to her at night, and pretty soon she'd say, 'Darling, I'm terribly tired. That old alarm is set for six o'clock. Trot off to a movie.' "With my sisters it would be, We're on night duty, Walt Can't help it shorthanded.' And with Eleanor it was apt to be, Tve got to get to bed early, Walt We've promised a shipment before the first and we're all working overtime.' "Can't you pep up some of these women," finishes Walt, "and tell them a man likes a little fuss to be made over him when he come back from the Marshalls?" Well, yes, I can, Walt, and I do.

Nobody has much time for him. His mother, his sisters, his girl are all so busy at their war plant jobs that they can spend only a little time talking to him, and they are too tired to go anywhere with him. Walter doesn't think his girl is going to wait for him, either. She is making three hundred dollars a month and running around with a lot of greasy mechanics.
