Turn Between the Acts.

One night the father Of Kitty Ste

tess of Essex, went on the stage
between the acts, and was standing
close to the drop scene, with his
back TO il, when the stage manager
gave the signal for the raising Of

he began to struggle for freedom.
His efforts were unavailing, how
ever, and when the roller reached
the top there was he in full view Of
the audience, suspended by his coat
tails, his head and feet downward
his figure resembling a half-open
knife. Then the stage hands became
alive to the situation, and the drop-
scene was lowered again amid the
boisterOus merriment of the adui-

tuberculosis in Children

q the number of infections steadily
increases. But with the advent
Of maturity, about the thirteenth
year, there is a big jump in the
deaths. which steadily increase
thereafter. This is believed to be
due to the increased systemic strain
incidental to the changes which
occur at the critical period of ma
turity.
In the very young most Of the
deaths are due to meningitis caused
by the germ tuberculosis. but after
the age Of ten the great majority
are due to disease of the lungs.
The infection of babies by tuber-
culosis usually takes place by rel-
son of the presence in the home OF
other persons having the disease,
either in an obvious or an obscure
form. Very often it is the mother
herself who infects an infant.
There should be reasonable assur-
ance that nobody around a baby
has the disease.
When a child is approaching the
period Of maturity-twelve in girls
and sixteen in boys-the general
nutrition must be carefully looked
after. Milk is the most important
element in the food of our children.
Periods OF long residence in the
country are extremely valuable in
the prevention of tuberculosis.

early childhood. During the five
years, 1913-1917, there were 2.421

OF very young children must have

gray horse, trOtted along
Mother Goose road in New Mother
Goose Land. And how crowded was
the road. Automobiles were thick
as berries in June and Puss had
some difficulty in avoiding a col
lision.
"Dearie me-" he said aloud. 'this
Is terrible. Now in good Old Mother
Goose and one never was bothered
like this. One didn't hear a horn
screech on one side and then on the
other. Nor did one have 70 travel
through clouds OF dust. Oh, dear
me-" And I'm sad to say that our
little traveller began to grow very
discOntented.
And the reason for all this crowd
was tina the County Fair was be-
ing held that day, and so. OF course,
every one was going to it. And 50
was Puss Junior. Yes, sir! He
was going to see the horse races
and the prize pigs and the NAM
moth cabbages and the funny side
shows where the skeleton man sits
next to the fat woman and the
other freaks look as solemn as they
can at the curious country folk who
buy the tickets.
And just then whom should he
meet but Simple Simon. And then
an airship came sailing by and
when the pilot saw Puss Junior he
brought his machine down to earth
close to Simple Simon
And then a little bird began TO

you read in these stories, and some
time I'm going to tell who the little
bird is. Well, anyway, this is the
song she sang:

Said Simple Simon to the fiy-man:
Can you fly anywhere?
Said the fiy-man to Simple Simon:
"T fly high as the skyi''
Said Simple Simon to the hy-man:

the aerOnaut, the man in the Moon
is only making curds and whey, so
I've heard. The Cow that Jumped
Over the Moon is with him now,
and he makes no more green
cheese"
Simple Simon opened his mouth
very wide, but he didn't say any
thing. You see. it took him quite
a while to think, but while he was
thinking he always opened his
mouth so as to be ready when the
idea came to him. and just then

Baby's Meals
RY Loretto Q. Lynch.

TT was influenza Everyone agreed
it was too bad that a man so
young, so ambitious and so
unusually healthy should be taken
off so suddenly. There was much
speculation as to what would be-
come of his wife and child. For
although Mrs. Kane was a charm
ing little woman she belonged to
that class of women who have no
idea of the value of time. She had
no idea of the value of system and
order.
Heretofore, when the household
became hopeIessly entangled. she
phoned the wash woman who dug
her out from in under for two-ffty
a day. But one often excused that
in the little mother, for had she
not the care OF a very delicate
baby?
Now he was two years of age
and fatherless. For the first time
in her life Mrs. Kane began to think
seriously. She was young and
strong, and there were endless op-
portunities for women. She would
seek employment. She would find
someone to keep her tiny apartment
clean and care for little Tom
She finally arranged with old
Kate. Kate was long on love but
short on science, and after a mere
week of "any-old-thing" to eat at
any old time, little Tom was a sick
a-bed youngster.
The family physician plainly bGt
politely told Mrs. Kane that baby's
collapse was due entirely to wrong
things to eat at irregular intervals.
And that If she were going TO leave
her precious child to the care OF an
ignorant woman, she must write
ont lust what the child was to have
to eat, just when he was to have
il and Just how much he was to
have. The doctor left some sample
menus, and with an encouraging
smile left the worried woman. It
was almost two months later that
Mrs. Kane talked to me about her
new life.
She was leading me toward

CHATTER XII.

tCcpgrlght, 1919, Star company,)
TON CHANDLER was as good
as his word. Within . fort
= night after the United States
had declared war he had enlisted.
The morning and evening papers
named Thomas Chandler, tae son
OF the towns popular physician, as
among the first of the Fairlands
young men to offer 20 fight for the
cause and righteousness.
Mildred read the announcement
with mingled feelings.
1t was the noon hour and she had
lunched and returned to Mr.. Hill
tons office in time to look over
the paper before she started to
work again.
The paragraph thrilled her. Tom
seemed suddenly to have acquired
new dignity. She wished that he
had still been her devoted slave
when he took this important step.
II so, she would have shone by re-
flected glory. As il was, he and
she had parted in anger. Sne could
not even have the pleasure Of wish
ing him good luck or of correspond
ing with him.
She regretted that she had quar-
relied with Tom. Since he was
going away so soon she might have
overlooked the scene on the train.
He had been drinking and was not
responsible for what he did. Now
that he was joining the army he
would have no opportunity to drink
The new life would probably re-
form him. He would return a
hero-and he and she were not on
friendly terms! She would never
have the joyous excitement of re-
ceiving attention from him.
Unless she chose TO bury the
hatchet and write to Tom before
he left. Yet, because she was en-
gagged to Arthur, Tom would GER
tainly care little about her. She
had been very foolish to tell him of
her engagement.
She began to muse on how diff
ferentIy she could have behaved
on the night OF Toms last call.
She might have been polite TO him,
accepted his apology for the way
he had spoken over the telephone,
and granted him permission 10
come again soon.
Il would have been an easy thing
TO explain to him that Bruce was
calling that evening. that she had
granted him permission to do so
before receiving Toms message.
This would only have proved to him
that he was not her sole admirer.
It would have committed her to
nothing. Yes, she wished that she
had been sensible and kept her
temper to herself.
MiIly y a Quandary.
The thought Of Arthur was very
tame and unstimulating as she re-
Elected on what might have been.
Arthur was such a humdrUm. safe
kind Of man-content to settle down
and peg away at his fathers busi-
ness. why under the sun could he
not enlist, too?
The question fingered in her
mind all the afternoon, and her re-
