she replied stiffiy.
DOT is out with a friend. and his
wife has been good enough to stay
here and help me take are of the

That's very nice" But I could

Edith asked me when l came back
into the room.
I explained as we'll as I could, but
I did not think 1t necessary to add
that Mrs. Maynard was one Of the
most virulent gossips In the neigh

Disturbed sleep In children may
be due to a number of causes, among
which are some arrangement of the
digestive organs Frequently chronic
intestinal indigestion), ~obstructed
breathing from adenoids or enlarged
tonsils, malnutrition, anemia. ex-

fresh air in the sleeping room and
certain diseases, some of which may
be serious. The treatment would

of the cause. Have the boy examined
