Ansther Misguided Neither.
Communication from one Of my
pupils:
Ny Dear DR.. Brady:
I have read your health talks
with much interest, especially
those touching on the subject Of
corsets. l am a girl fourteen years
Of age and in my first year at high
school. Mama insists that l wear .
corset all the time. This il one
thing that l refuse to do. Am I
right? I don't refuse to do most
of the things mama tells me to, but
in this case I think am justified.
Some Of my girl frfenda say
should wear one, others discourage
It. Don't you think 1t ID wrong for
women to encourage such q thing.
especially women who have Z good
education?
Will you please answer this let
ter through the paper?
Yours truly,
(Miss) Janet H. L.
am sorry to learp that your
mother is so very. very old school
on this subject Of splints. But il
she really believes 1t is right that
her daughter should be bound and
restricted by brace or supporting
appliance, there is nothing for you
to do but scowl and wear it. You
might insert in your morning and
evening prayers particularly loud
and fervent appeal for mama's en-
lightenment.
am neither unreasonable nor
impossible in my position on the
corset question. A woman must
have some foundation on which to
pin, button, hang or stretch her
clothes. Well and good. Let her
wear such a waist as is common
by worn by children everywhere.
She doesn't need = surgical contriv-
ance.
The girl who wishes to retain
youthful grace, a pleasing appear
ance, and best Of all, good health
will adapt her clothing to the I'm
combining waist and train her own
muscles to support her as no cor
set possibly can. Speaking of a
good education-surely If q woman
has a good education that educa-
ton will not be limited to the por.
ton of>her that comes above the
eyebrows. When a woman presum-
ably well educated takes q stand
for corset wearing. except for in
valids, she betrays either q very
poor education from the eyebrows
down or, il she received physical

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Tuheronlesis md Adoption.
Would you advise us to adopt q
little girl three years after her par
ents had died Of consumption? We
have one child. MRS. 8. 8. W.
Answer-If the little girl herself
is not suffering with tuberculosis
there would be no risk involved.
There Is NO reason why she should
ever have the disease, II she has
not already contracted It from liv-
ing with her parents while thex
were ill.
Cofeo nd Geitre.
Please give your reason for ad-
vising against the use Of coffee by
those with exophthalmic goitre. l

stefan did not forbid 1t. Oh. j.
Answer said that in certain
cases Of exophthalmic goitre cof-
fee should not be taken, because it

ter than any one else whether COT
fee is advisable:
Milk.
What is the best class of milk
for an adult to drink? My sister
claims that pasteurized or steril-
lied milk is binding or constipat-
ing. 1 understand that milk is rath-
er constipating anyway, but she
contends it is more constipating
when it is pasteurized. (U. E. CO
Answer-Milk is not binding or
neutrality-suspicious. taking exclu-
sive milk diet have free bowel &C
ton, unless this is interfered with.
The notion that milk is binding
arises from the fact that it is a
pretty completely digestible sub
stance, leaving much less residue in
the bowel than vegetable foods, for
instance, and hence there is less
natural stimulus to- bowel move
ment. So far as I know pasteuriz-

degrees F., holding 20 minutes at

five minutes ON three successive

for normal persons. The best class
of milk for infant, child or adult is
pure raw milk. and il possible. ce.-

McAllister stood at the crossing,
gazing up and down the deserted,
snowy streets.
Take the first corner to the
right and it's the house next beyond
the Episcopal church" he muir
INJURED, the richly rolling rs be-
traying him for Scot.
Memory was his only guide. for
his Cousin Richard was on duty at
the dispatcher's Office and his uncle
and Cousin Allana were away. Dick
had met McAlister at the midnight
express, shown him the railway
operator, and given him a house
key with instructions to take the
room at the head of the stairs.
There was none to challenge him
as he turned the key and stepped
into the warm, dark hall.
Still guided by memory, he
climbed the stairs and was fumb-
ling for the electric switch when
memory remarked clearly:
THE pajamas are in the other
suitcase"
He deposited the suitcase in
hand and stole down the stairs. The
silence was oppressive.
Feel like burglar" he NUT
tered, closing the door behind him.
A visit to the baggage rooms pro-
duced the forgotten bag. and
again he turned the key in the
lock OF the house next beyond the
Episcopal church.
At the stealthy closing Of the hall
door Margaret Cameron McCrae
reused from her dreams of thieves
who were stealing her sisters we'd
ding presents. She slipped out of
bed and felt for the shiny revolver
on her bedside table.
McAlister, failing to find the
switch, had tumbled to the door at
the head Of the stairs, when a firm.
feminine voice said:
Don't move. or I'll shoot"
"Cer-r-tainly not, ma'am," an
swered the startled McAlister.
The light flashed on, revealing a
slight girl in a rose-pink bathgown,
a heavy golden braid hanging over
one shoulder. McAlister was keen
ly conscious that neither the gray
eyes nor the glittering weapon
wavered.
Put up your hands," she direct
ed.
He complied, beginning, Pardon
me"
"I'll do the talking" she stated
firmly. you ought to be ashamed
to speak. Scotch. too. How could
you stoop so low"
Il" he began again.
Stop" she commanded. II don't
want to know anything about you.
I could have you put in prison, but
you didn't get away with anything.
You are so young. too. You look
bright enough. Will you promise
never again to steal anything"
YES" said McAlister. meekly.
N"Then march down stairs. No!
Leave those suitcases. I'll take
charge Of them. Open tho door.
Remember you are . fair target
against the snow. Now go!%
McAlister walked very straight
until he turned the corner. At the
office he merely said to his cousin !:
