list Be Thankful.

The truly marvellous manner in which our troops
have been transported across the Atlantic, added
the fact that things are going so well with the SOL
ders at the battle front unlikely to foster in
many hearts the boastful spirit There is ample evil
dence to believe that this is a real danger. 1t is
WELL therefore, for US TO heed adnonitions British
statesmen and military leaders have in the most
kindly manner made against being over-optimistc
and unduIy proud without in any way wishing
to lessen our Just cause for profound gratitude
These men know more of the enemy than we do and
it is not without good reason they warn to be
prepared for a determined attack upon trans
ports that may result in a severe shock being one
day experienced. Admiral Sims in addressing Ameri-
can soldiers in London on their way to the front,
struck very timely note along the same line. The
admiral after giving his copntrys soldiers unstinted
praise for all they had accomplished on the western
front added: But don't you chaps get to sticking
out your chests and going around thinking America
is doing it all. I want to tell you here and now
that what is being done by this tiny little island is
wonderful The British fleet is protecting and
supporting US and getting US to the front"
The lesson of all Of this is that while glorying in
our achievements and praisfng without stint
boys and their allies we should not brag but just
be thankful.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: Please tell
me how to poach eggs. / am 20
years old and am learning TO cook
l am going with a boy two months
and his birthday is soon. Would il
be all right to send him a card? Is
11:30 too late to be out with fell
low? Are we too young to be mar
ried. We love each other so much.
Thank you. GERALDINE.
Break the egg In boiling water
and cook until the white is con
gealed A little vinegar added to
the water will prevent the egg from
separating. II will be all right to
send the boy a birthday card. A
girl Of your age should be at home
by 10 o'clock unless unayoidably
detained. You probably are too
young to be married, especially
since you do not know how to cook
If your love is sincere it will last
until you reach years Of more ma
ture judgment,
Dear Mrs. Thompson: am a
young married woman Of 20 years.
I was married when nothing but a
girl Of II. I thought l was deeply
in love and now find it was nothing
but a mistake. I have two chill
dren, one three years old and one
10 months old. My husband isn't
home except at meal times and
comes in at all hours of the night,
and sometimes not until morning
He tells me he is at work and | go
and see for myself and find he is
not. Do you think he goes with 9TH
or women? He never goes any
where with me and 1 have all the
care of the children. What would
you advise me to do? BERNICE.
You must get out and mingle
with people so that you will not be
dependent upon your husband for
your pleasure in life. Invite young
women to your home for lunch or
tea and go out with them evenings
to the picture show and other en-
tertainments You can get some
one to stay with the children for the
evening and since your husband is
away every evening he surely can
not object to paying for the help. It
would do him good to come home
occasionally and have to get his
own meal, because you are away

Fasting for TBC.


The vital Importance of complete
rest in bed in the early stage Of
tuberculosis has been repeatedly
mentioned in this column 1t is a
remedial agent which too many
fooIhardy victims of the ICON" fail
to utilize, in their headIong pursuit
of an alleged climatic cure. DR.. G.
ID. SpiYak Of Denver speaks of fast
ing as the only form Of rest avail
able for the digestive tract, in cases
of tuberculosis in which the intes-
tines are affected.
DR.. Spivak first found that brief
fasts were of some value in treat
ing such cases, and later he was
encouraged to prescribe more pro-
longed fasts.
For example, he suggests that a
tuberculous patient who yomits, a
given meal daily should omit that
meal entirely for several consecu-
tive days; that one who has no ap-
petite should omit one or two meals
daily until the appetite returns;
one who suffers pain or distress
after eating should fast for several
meals.
To the utter CONSERVATION of
those ruIe-Of-thumb advisers who
think the treatment of tuberculosis
consists of stufing the patient and
shipping him off to some resort,
DR.. Spivak observes that this Their
apeutic fasting has brought about
distinctive Improvement in nearly
every instance and has never prov
ed harmful in nav case.
It is reasonable to a scientific
mind that when the body functions
are diminished, as in most cases of
ordinary lung tuberculosis. the diet
should be adapted to the individual
capacity sbf the patient, and not
laid down by rule-of-thumb. The
antique custom Of pouring in large
quantities Of raw eggs and milk or
feeding the patient excessive guam
titles Of any food not naturally de
sired, was illogical and generally
harmful in the long run.
There is an inferior type Of
nurses that delights to advise any
one who complains OF being weak
or run down or tired out to take
strychnine, either il tablets or in
the mysterious junk called hypo-
phosphites. The notion is founded
on the positive fact that strychnine
will cause even the pUniest, weak
est baby to throw a fit, if enough
IS given. 1t is about as sound as
the popular notion that because a
victim Of tuberculosis is under
weight or weak the proper thing is
to pour in eggs, and raw eggs at
that, because Mrs. Grundy or some
body once assumed that raw eggs

He had taken up an old tin pail
standing under the rain spout. In
a jiffy he had his outfit beside it..
Then Elsie started as, half hidden
by the rear hedge, she made out
three lI-favored-looking providers.
At once the thought came TO her
mind that the tinker was a decoy,
and all four bent on plundering the
house. Quickly she slammed down
the window, closed and locked the
outside door and went to the front,
ready to rush out and alarm the
neighbors if the men tried to break
in the rear way. She could hear
the tinker using his tools. Then
the hammering ceased. Elsie ven
tured to the kitchen. The tin pail
sat in its old place, the man was
just disappearing beyond the hedge.
AS he fadded from view a curdling
scream froze Elsie with terror. She
dimly made out struggling. scurry-
ing figures beyond the leafy screen.
She saw the husband and son of a
neighbor pass along the street, and
she ran ont to them.
A man. a tinker, mended a pail"
she exclaimed incoherently. Then
three other men seemed to spring
upon him as he reached the hedge.
Won't you see if anything has hap
pened there?"
Elsie ventured to accompany the
twain. Just beyond the hedge,

Elsie Bowen was in tears. Her
husband kissed her tenderly and
tried to act brave, but there was a
lump in his throat, and as he gave
her a parting caress he said:

BILE. of course. dear, but love and

In a dismal sort of way Elsie
went back to the kitchen to wash
up the dishes. but there was little
zest in q duty usually performed
with bright spirits and sweet song.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Early Winter and Late Spring.

Would you advise a strong,
healthy bachelor girl of IS TO mar
~ a wealthy man of 81? Would
such a marriage be at all likely to
prove fruitful and would children
born from such union be vigor-
Gus? NJ A
Answer do not advise a girl Of
any age to marry man of any
financial condition this side Of
heaven, but if the attachment is
deeper than figures the adventure
might prove a happy one, at that.
Children born of parents whose
ages are widely separated are not
so likely to be strong and vigorous
az are children Of parents who are
nearly of the same age.
Cleft Palate.
What causes cleft palate? Our
baby has it and it seems very diff
cult for her to nurse either breast
or bottle. Is the operation consid-
cred dangerous? Baby is six months
old and weighs only II pounds, due
TO the difficulty of feeding her at
first She is gaining rapidly now.
When could the operation be done?
S.
Answer-Cleft palate is due to
failure OF the two palatial process
es or projections which grow to-
ward each other from the sides in
the development of the face, and of
the palate, in prenatal life, to
unite. Hare lip is another such
failure, with or without the cleft
in the palate. The cause of these
failures of complete development
is unknown The earlier the OPP
Grafton is done the better the re-
suit is likely to be. Between the
18th month and the oath month is
generally the ideal time for opera
ton, if the child weighs at least
"A pounds. If operation is for any
reason postponed, it is well to have
a skillful dentist fit a rubber plate
(as soon as there are double teeth
to which the plate can be fastened
generally at two years.. Such a
plate is a great help in feeding the
child and in the development of
