proved that the loss of the index finger

A wise mother does not allow her
child to make a meal Of any one ar
ticle to the exclusion Of all others,
but insists that along with his eggs
he shall eat bread and butter, or
along with his bread and butter he
shall eat meat or cheese, or that he
drink a sufficient quantity of milk.
In other words, she balances his
ration by seeing that each Of the five
food principles makes fair amount
Of each meal.
Just what these proportions shall
be, how much of the tissue building
food, or how much Of the heat-prO-
ducing foods-Sthe fats and oils-or
how much Of the Work-supplying
food he shah have, viii depend large
ly upon the individual
Correct Combinations
Adults should likewise pay close
attention to the proportion of the va
rious nutrients in their diet. Too
often there is too great consump-
ton of the heterogeneous foods in
comparison with the energy yield
ing substances, and too little atten-
ton is paid to the combined amount
of these two principles needed as
compared with the bulk Of the meal
that is necessary to insure satisfac-
ton.
Because of this many persons are
habituaIly over-fed. To avoid this
the careful housewife will see to it
that each meal contains at least one
dish that is largely made up of
fibrous or bulky material. There is
danger in filing her family with only
highly concentrated food.
Some General Rules
How much food must be taken will
depend largely upon the age, sex and
occupation of each individual, but it

,ONT LET CHILD MAKE MEAL OF ONE FOOD

In old age and in children less food
is necessary than for adults in the
prime of life. For these two ex-
tremes a greater amount Of nitrog-
enous food in proportion to the
starchy food is necessary = in the
one case for tissue-building, in the
other for tissue repair.
For adults in the prime Of life,
when work is light, less food Of any
kind is needed; when work is in
creased, the increase in food should
be in the starchy material foods, or
the oils and fats, rather than in the
heterogeneous foods.
It may be safely said nearly every
body eats too much and a greater de-
gree of health would be enjoyed if
less food were taken.

IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW
knowledge Of How to Keep Alive and
Well, Placed First In the List by
Herbert Spencer.

Herbert Spencer analyzed the differ
ent kinds Of absolutely necessary
knowledge after the following manner,
given In order of their importance:
]. knowledge of how to keep alive
and well.
Q. knowledge of work which gives
you means to live.
3. Knowledge of how to rear chill
dren.
4. knowledge of your proper social
and political position.
5. knowledge of art and music and
amusements, etc.
It is feared there is reverse often
and a disposition, for instance, to
put amusements and fashion ahead
Of the knowledge of how to keep well.
1t is not entirely so, but there is in
fact a great deal Of morality In keep
ing well. If, for instance. young
lady goes thinly clad to midnight
dance and lunch, she has no right to
complain of the weather or the food,
but of her own lack of knowledge
and resolution. But all the knowledge
recorded in the above list doesn't
amount to scum If there is no spirit
behind it to utilize it.-Columbus (O0

An unIooked.Eor Present.

Among little Willie's numerous birth
day presents were toy tomahawk, an
air gun and a lasso-these being sent
by a sport-loving uncle who knew the
youths proclivities.
Shortly after breakfast WillIes
mother heard a crash in the green
house at the foot of the garden, and
went to investigate. On the way she
passed a few uprooted bushes and a
flower-bed trampled out of recognition,
and in the greenhouse itself many las
seed f1ower-pots. Following the trail
she found Willie hiding behing tree
stump.
"What are you doing, Willie?" she
cried in Mortified tones.
Looking for Redskins" replied the
youngster.
With a grim look she took Willie by
the ear and led him indoors.
Looking for red skins" she repeat
ed Ominously, as she took up cane.

came the doctor and cut off that
chance.
"And yet" she leaned suddenly
forward, and the passion that had
been suppressed In her voice till now,
leaped up into flame-"and yet, can
you tell me what l could have done
differently? I've lived the kind of life
they preach abOut-a life of noble
sacrifice 1t hasn't ennobled me. It's
made me petty-mean-sour It's
withered me up. Look at the differ
ence between us Look at you with
your big, free spaciousness-you pow
er of loving and attracting lovei Why,
you even love me, now, in spite of all
I've said this morning. I've envied
you that-Pve almost hated you
for II.
"No, that's lie! I've wanted 20.
The only thing l could ever hate you
for would be for failing. You've got
to make good! You've had my share
as well as yOurs-yOu're living my
life as well as yours. I'm the branch
they cut off so that you could grow.
II you give up and let the big thing
slip out Of your hands the way you
were talking this morning, because
you're too weak to hold it and haven't
pluck enough to fight for 1t :"
Look at me- said Rose. The
words rang like a command upon a
battlefield.
POrtia looked. Roses blue eyes
were blazing. 81 won't do that" she
said very quietly. 81 promise you
that" Then the hard determination
in her face changed to something soft
er, and as If Portals resistance count
ed no more than that of a child, she
pulled her sister up In her arms and
held her tight. And so, at last, Portia
got the relief of tears.

not stirred; had sat there as rigidly
still as figure carved In ivory.
Becoming aware Of that, she raised
her head. POrtla wasn't looking at
her, but down at her own clenched
hands.
''It needed just that, suppose"
she heard her older sister say between
almost motionless lips. II thought 1t
was pretty complete before, but 1t
took that to make 1t perfect--that you
think I'm the lucky one-lucky never
to have had husband, or anyone
else, for that matter to love me. And
lucky now, to have to give up the only
substitute l had for that"
"POrtla" !" Rose cried out, for the
mordant, alkaline bitterness In her sis
ter's voice, and the tragic irony in her
face, was almost terrifying. But the
outcry might never have been uttered
for any effect 1t had.
II hoped this wouldn't happen" the
words came steadily on, one at a time.
Il hoped l could get this over and
get away out of your life altogether
without letting 1t happen. But l
can't. Perhaps it's just as well-per-
haps 1t may do you some good. But
that's not why I'm doing 1t. I'm do
ing 1t for myself. Just for once, I'm
going to let go! You won't like 1t.
You're going to get hurt"

what happened at all. Instead, she
just went limp in his arms, and the
sobs that shook her seemed to be
meeting no resistance whatever.
At last she controlled, rather sudden
ly her sobs, sat up, wiped her eyes,
and, after a fashion, smiled. Not at
him, though; resolutely away from
him, he might almost have thought
as If she didn't want him to see.
"That's right" he said, craning
round to make sure that the smile
was there. "Have look at the funny
side of It,"
She WINGED at that as from blow
and pulled herself away from him.
Then she controlled herself and, In
answer to his look of troubled amaze
ment, sad: "It's all right. Only 1t
happens that you're the one who
d-dOesn't know how awfully funny it
really is" Her voice shook, but she
got 1t in hand again. mo, 1 don't
mean anything by that. Here! Give
me kiss and then let me wash my
face"
And for the whole evening, and
again next morning until he left the
house, she managed to keep him in the
only half-questioning belief that moth
ing was the matter.
1t was about an hour after that,
that her maid came into her bedroom,
where she had had her breakfast, and
said that Miss Stanton wanted to see
her.

He saw her when she reached the
lower landing, ard came to meet her.
"OhP he said II thought you were
going to be off somewhere with Fred
erica this afternoon. It's been great
day. hope you haven't spent the
whole of 1t indoors. You're looking
great, anyway. Come here and give
me a kiss"
She hesitated, a little perplexed.
Did he mean not to tell her-to
''spare" her, as he'd have said? The
kiss she gave him had different
quality from those that ordinarily con-
stituted her greetings, and the arms
that went round his neck didn't give
him their customary hug. But they
stayed there.
"You poor, dear old boy!" she said.
and then, Don't you care, Roddy"
He returned the caress with inter-
est, before he seemed to realize the
different Significance Of 1t. Then he
pushed her away by the shoulders and
held her where he could look into her
face. "What do you mean he asked.
Don't care about what?" 1t didn't
seem like bravadO-like an acted out
pretense, and yet, of course, it must be.
Don't" she said. Because know.
I've known all day. l read it in the
paper this morning"
From puzzled concern the look in
his face took on a deeper intensity.
"Tell me what it is," he said very
quietly. II don't know. / didn't read
the paper this morning. Is it Harri-
et?" Harriet was his other sister
married, and not very happily, it was
beginning to appear, to an Italian
count.
A revolution "a sort of sick mis-
giving-took the color out of Roses
cheeks. ''It isn't anyone" she said.
"It's nothing like that. Its-it's that
case" Her lips stumbled over the
title of 1t. "It's been decided against
Tou. Didn't you knOw?"
For moment his expression was
simply the absence of all expression
whatever. But how the dickens did
you know anything about 1t? How
did you happen to see it in the paper?
How did you know the title of itT
II was in the court the day you
argued it," she said unevenly. "And

In the paper, l kept watch. And to-
day :"
"Why, you dear child" he said. And
the queer, ragged quality of his voice
drew her eyes back to his, so that
she saw, wonderingly, that they were
bright with tears. "And you never
said word, and you've been bother
ing your dear little head about it all
the time. Why, you darling!"
He sat down on the edge of the
table, and pulled her up tight into
his arms again. She was glad to put
her head down-didn't want to look
at his face; she knew that there was
a smile there along with the tears.
"And you thought / was worrying
about it," he persisted, "and that I'd |

seanIanea Fold Their wlnna.

Owing to the large number of sea-
planes employed by the entente naval
forces in the present war, especially in
the waters of the near East, the Brit
ish and French aircraft designers
have developed special type Of hy-
droplane provided with folding wings,
notes the Scientific American. This
feature results II great saving Of
space on board warship or special
mother ship when large number Of
seaplanes are carried. The wings are
hinged to the fuselage so that they can
be swung back when the craft is to be
stored away, yet the seaplane can be
made ready and equipped for sustained
service in the space of few minutes
by the aviator and his corps of as.

HOW Different SHIPS SINK
Nearly Every Glass or Design of Yes.
sci Has Particular Way of
Going Down.

Nearly every class or design of ves-
sci sinks in a particular way, For in
stance, the old type ct single-bottom
steamers, with few or NJ bulkheads-
that is, in the modern sense of the
term-almOst invariably founders ON
more or less of an even keel, which
means that they sink level, and not
with their bow or stern up In the air,
London Tit-Bits says.
This is accounted for by the fact
that at whatever point the water may
enter it practically finds 1t own level,
as there are no subdivisions to OBJ
struct 1t.
Now, In the case Of a modern ves-
sci, which is built with numerous SUBJ
divisions, it invariably happens that
she founders with her bow or stern high
out of the water; or else she sinks
with a heavy list, or cant, to one side
or the other. The reason for this is
that the bulkheads prevent the water
which enters the vessel from finding
its level; consequently, when one par
ticular portion of the ship is full of
water, while the remainder is prac-
tically watertight, that part which is
water laden sinks first, owing to It's
greater weight.
1t is for this reason that such terri
BILE loss Of life frequently occurs in
modern Shipwrecks. Owing to the un-
even sinking, 1t is often found impOs-
sible to lower the majority of the life
boats, as they would fail to reach the
water.
