Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are two
girls of 16.
a. Are we too young to go walking
with boys in the evening?
(2) Is it wrong to speak to a boy
you have not been formally introduced
TO. but have met frequently on the
street during the past year?
CD II this boy should ask to dance,
should we refuse.
"a Is it wrong to go buggy riding
:. It'll boy in the evening?
90 What should we do If boy
kisses us by surprise? Would it serve
him right to slap him?
CHUMs.
"a If you stay near home and your
parents know that you are with re-
spectacle boys, it might be all right.
OF course / understand that you are
not going to act silly with the boys,
my dears, or allow any Stiffness from
them.
(2) If you know who he is and that
he is all right, it might do no harm
to bow to him when you meet him.
However, If he wants to know you let
him understand that he should be prop
erly introduced.
CD Tell him you think he ought to
hustle around for mutual friend who
can introduce him. You can say it in
a laughing way so he won't feel offend
ed, and, if he's any good, he'll hustle. :
(4) l don't think it's best.
80 He deserves a good solid slap
But does a boy ever really kiss you
by surprise? Aren't you kind of ex-
pecting it and sort of encouraging
it? Well, slap him, anyway. and tell
him that if he has any respect at all
fer you he won't do it again.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: "a Would
it be proper to come right out to
boy friend and tell him my mother
didn't care for me to go with him. or
to make some excuse each time?

HOT WEATHER.
What is pasteurized milk?

| 1--What Is paSteur1zed milk!
Pasteurized milk is fresh cows milk
| heated to 155 degrees OF 160 degrees
FIR and kept at that temperature
/ 80 minutes. 1t is prescribed wher
the mother is not sure of the source
of milk fed her baby. 1t will make
fresh milk safer. 1t will not fresher
stale, old milk. 1t should not be KEPT
more than "a hours.
2.-How can 1 pasteurize milk al
home?
Fill bottles with milk, cork with
sterile absorbent cotton, set in a pal
with boiling water up to the top OF
the bottles, cover tightly and stand
aside for 80 or As minutes. Cool the
bottles rapidly and stand on ice.
3.-Should milk be boiled in sum
mer.
Not unless your doctor orders it
Clean milk does not require boiling.
Regular feelings of boiled milk may
cause scurvy. If your baby is subject
to attacks of diarrhoea, the doctor will
order boiled milk, with a teaspoonful
or two of strained orange juice be-
tween feelings.
4-What shall feed my baby while
travelling?
If possible, avoid travelling with a
bottle-fed baby. But if it is necessary
and the journey is short, buy wicker.
covered ice box made for travelling
purposes. Prepare and pack the milk
as in your refrigerator at home. For
a long journey, supply unsweetened
condensed milk in small cans. Re
member that condensed milk spoils
when open; also that it is twice as
strong as plain or whole milk, and
must be diluted accordingly. If con-
densed milk is fed the baby for any
length of time, give strained orange
juice between feelings, to supply
fresh element.
5.-If the mothers milk does not
agree with the baby in summer, how
shall the change be made to artificial
food?
Consult physician as to the moth
er's condition If she is anaemic she
must be built up with more nourish-
ing food and a tonic. She must not
take the advice of her neighbors nor
patent medicine, nor alcoholic drinks.
If the baby has diarrhoea, the mother
is probably eating food which does
not agree with her. She must cor
rect her own diet. And she must not
nurse the baby when excited or over
heated If this treatment does not
carrect the baby's condition, then he
must be placed on modified cows milk
as described in article No. III.
6.-What is the proper diet for
baby in his second summer. from
IL months on?
Breakfast to tablespoons of
sweet orange or pineapple Juice. strain
ed. or pulp of 6 prunes, Half an hour
earlier or later, never at the same
time. 16 TABLESPOONS of whole milk
with stale bread. toasted. or zwie-
back.
Mid-morning-Sam amount OF milk.
with or without zwieback or toasted
biscuit.

robins don't think SO. No, indeed!

And just as soon as his mother ap-
peared on the edge of the nest with
a fat, juicy worm dangling down
from her bill, Mr.. Greedy Robin
opened his mouth just little wider
and stretched his neck just a little
higher than any of the four other
robins possibly could, for you see
the four little robins were nice, po-
lite, orderly little robin children
who behaved just as their mother
taught them.
Mrs. Robin was very patient with
her greedy child for a little while,
bat finally she saw that the other
babies were actually hungry and tina;
Greedy was getting three or four
times more than his share. She
pecked MIN gently on the neck. Get

THINGS WORTH KNOWING

After boiling salt beef leave two or
three cooked carrots in the liquor until
cold. The carrots will absorb the salt
and the liquor can be used for soup
Sometimes boot polish becomes quite
dry with keeping. MOisten it with a
little turpentine. II softens the polish,
making il disable at once and also gives
a good gloss TO the leather.
Pack glass or china in hay which is
slightly damp. This will prevent the
articles ffrom slipping about.
Boil the corks before bottling pickles,
preserves, etc. While hot they can be
pressed into the bottles and when cold
they seal them tightly
