Physicians nave long known that who

To Keep
! Yourself Well

Belladonna
Is there any danger in taking bel
ladonna? / have heard it would
cause any one to go blind. But IL
one needs belladonna, how lon
could they take it without hurting
their sight?
No one should ever take bella
donna except on the advice OF a
physician. If your doctor has pre-
scribed this drug for you, he will
also discontinue { when he de-
cides that your condition warrants
its withdrawal. In many instances
the drug must be pushed to the
limit of tolerance by the patient.
Shortness of Breath
I am about 10, and suffer from
lack OF wind. When L walk half
a block, 1 must stop to rest, be-
cause L get out of breath. Then
l stand for a few minutes gasp
ing for air. At night, when / go
to bed, though there is q good
breez through the oom l almost
s~uffocate.
1t is quite impossible to give you
specific advice merely on the basis
OF a description contained in a let
ter. The symptoms are very suggSs-
tive of SINE circulatory disturbance
and under the circumstances. a
physician would think first of the
condition of the heart, and of the
condition of the blood vessels.
On the other hand such symptoms
are sometimes due to abnormal con-
ditions in the respiratory tract. You
say you have already consulted ply
sicians without results. l can only
suggest that you discuss the matter
with your family physician and have
him refer you to some qualified spe-
cialist for further examination and
advice.
Whitening the Skin
Please give me a remedy which
will make my skin whittier.
1 do not think 1t wise for you to
use anything on your skin fol-,
the purpose you mention except on
the advice of your physician. 1t is
more than likely that the color of
your skin harmonizes with your
eyes and hair. and If you have the
warm glow of health, 1t is probably
far prettier than q pale skin.
Be sure you get plenty of outdoor
exercise, if you are able to take 1t:
include a liberal supply OF milk.
green vegetables G.ad fruit in your
diet and pay particular attention
to sleep, rest, and the condition OF
your bowels. The beauty of the skin
does not denend upon whether It
Is dark or fair. but on its smooth,

} I had hardly gotten inside the
apartment when Dot demanded:

| out this mornings"
why, dear, l was fearfully busy:
I wasn't out a minute except to get
a bit of lunch"
We'll, Edith called up and they
told her you were out"
This fairly staggered me. I had
had my own suspicious of that call

myself.

simply couldn't be disturbed" 1 tried
to explain. What did she want
anyway"
"Oh, it's too late now. Things are
always too late with me-. They're
giving a dinner at the Bonnycrest
Country Club tonight. and she want
ed to find out if you could get away

1 tried to apologize. but 1 knew 1t

things owe l couldn't blame Dot for
being angry. 1t certainly looked as
though l had done 1t on purpose, es-
pecially after l had told her in the
morning that l didn't like her new
friend.
Having made such a fool OF myself
I was less inclined than ever to give
Dorothy any hint as to what my sus-
picions had been. They were surely
dead now. AS I washed 1 swore
softly to myself and called myself a
%conceited jackass ever to have had
such ideas.
1t was plain that l had behaved
like a cad to a woman who merely
was fond of my wife and who was
doing everything in her power to
show It. The fact that I had con-
fined myself to my thoughts didn't
excuse me a bit. 7 resolved to be
especially nice to Edith to make UP
for 1t.
After getting into a clean shirt I

there but she paid little attention to
me. Bobbie was standing in his lit
tie bed, holding firmly to the side. He
was just beginning to talk. For a
week I had been trying to teach him
to call Dot Sweetheart" but as yet
my patience had borne no fruit.

baby would come to my rescue.

cleverness.

the residents Of the valley up to q

the Continental army was encamped
at what is now the Ramapo station
on the main line Of the Erie railroad
was uncertain as to the inten'
lions Of Lord Howe, in command OF
the British fleet and army at New
York. He used to climb frequently
to- the high peak Of the Torne, a mile
north Of the v;:,ley, from which he
could see part of New York bay,
and there spy on the fleet. In the up
pei part of the peak is a tiny stream,
hidden in the crevices of the rocks,
and the dropping Of the water sounds
like a watch ticking.

dropped his watch in a fissure of the
