This is perfect nonsense" said
my aunt from her chair on the porch.

In answer to this I had a sort of
grunt-a polite grunt. but neverthe-
less a sound that completely showed
my distilg uished aunt's disapproval
of my house.

Better have Jane in to help, and fix
things particularly nice tonight"
Father did not come in half an
hour as my aunt said, but Ella did.
She was up the path towards the
porch before she saw aunt Harriet.
Then she hesitated and flushed, but
came on. Her eyes took in my guest
with frank uriosity-aunt Harriet's
silver color dress. her white woody
coat with its black embroidery flung
over a chair. her Partisan hat. her
rings and her white g.oves-all the
details that went with the stunning
car that stood before the house.

looking awkward. and went away.

: married the millionaire banker, Joel
Wolfe Thorne.
And she is having her uphill fight.
Though she sued her millionaire
husband for separation, his counter
suit for divorce was heard first. A
referee in divorce recommended that
a divorce be granted Thorne, that
alimony be denied the wife and that
custody of si~x-year-old Joel Wolfe
Thorne, Jr., be given to the father.
Mrs. Thorne Is fighting in the
supreme court to have the referees
report set aside.
Child Spirited Away
Her child, whom she has not seer
since he was spirited away while
out with his nurse, is the chief stake
in the mothers fight. She has not
seen him for three years. She thinks
he is In Denver.
While doing war work Mrs
Thorne met Raymond B. Wilson. 6
sailor from California. Thornt
named Wilson as correspondent.
Mrs. Thorne absolutely denies
these charges.

Teeth
Have you ever stopped to think
how great an influence diet has on
the development of the teeth?
When baby comes into the world
1t is apparently toothless. Never
theless at this time the first teeth
are practically completely formed,
lying beneath the gums. Under these
first teeth are already the begin
nings of the permanent teeth.
These teeth annot develop as
they should if the body is not sup
piled with a sufficient amount of the
necessary building material. Hence
in the food for your child make sure
that especially those elements which
build bony structure of which the
tooth is a type, are supplied in suf-
ficient quantities. Nursing at the
breast Is the best way to start the
proper development of the child's
teeth.
The most important elements
needed for building sound teeth are
lime and phosphoric acid, and for
the growing child there is not a bet
ter source of these than milk. After
infancy the diet of every child
should include a glass of milk with
each meal, and in addition to this
there should be other sources of
mineral salts. such as fruits, green
vegetables and pure water.
Another important thing is exer-
else. The diet should include q GER
tain amount Of coarse material de-
signed to exercise the teeth. Coarse.
whole-grain breads, hard tack,
baked potatoes eaten with their
Jackets, fresh apples-these and
similar foods will help to make good
teeth.
Much can be done to prevent de-
cay by brushing and cleaning the
teeth regularly. Each child should
be taught the proper use Of the
tooth brush.

From her own bitter experiences,
