Dear Mrs. Thompsona am a young married woman of twenty years and have two children, and must work hard to make a living for of twenty-one months with me and I live with my parents. My little boy is in an infants home and I pay his board. I put him out for adoption. Do you think it is the proper thing to do? I don't like to do it. But I think it is better to let some one give him a good home because it is worse to neglect .him when I go out and work.
 My husband is ordered by court to pay for the children. but he does not. He is down south I>had a beautiful home only he would not provide for me He would rather give girls flew CTS and candy than give me anything to eat Another girl caused my home breaking She called him on the phone and made dates with him. lie would never take me out and ne would always be with this girl
 I asked for a divorce and l got it quickly. Do you think it was the rigsht thing to give my baby for adop- ton.
 To leave your husband was the only course open to you since he was so faithless and did not provide for you. The fact that he is willing to disap- pear and leave you with the support of the children shows the kind of man he is. To pay toward the sup

MANICURE HINTS

No hand can be pretty unless the nails are well cared for. Every wo- man, therefore, should know eaetly how to look after her nails. Those who can afford personal maid to do this for them are fortunate in this respect at least, for their nails will be perfectly cared for, but other wo- men must either go to manicure parIor or learn to do this work for themselves.
 I would advise every woman who can afford it to have her nails pro fessionaIly manicured once a month or once in six weeks, and take care of them herself in the meantime. This is because it is almost impossi- ble to do the nails at home as well as the girl who makes this her pro- fession. In spite of every precaution the sensitive skin around the edge of the nails, particularly at each corner, will become rough and hard and form ugly little hang nails. The professional n1anicurist can correct this without any trouble because she can use. both hands for her work while the woman herself can only use one
 Here are a few hints which think you will find va1ua b1e. After shaping the nails with file soak the finger tips for a few moments in a bowl of warm soapy water containing a little lemon juice, this is to bleach stains from the nails Do not cut the cuticle if you can possibly help it. After the hands have been soaked rub them with vaseline or cold cream and push back the cut;cle Or scarf

TRUDA'S NEWS

Roger chuckIed inwardly at Mrs. Cameron's discomfiture at her daugh- ter's confession of open friendship with the family cook. This was truly the naive girl he had fallen so hard for now that her mask was off. Why, he decided quickly, she gave a fel- low more surprises in one little hour than most girls did in a hftime and that was a whole lot.
 ''P1ease, mother, don't let Dad get all fused up about this, If not a bit, so, why should he be? After all they are my things that are missing. and I can be my own detective, too, if it comes to that" she said with a laugh. "I always have wanted to be a sleuth so just let me tend to it like a dear mummy"
 As soon as the two girls arrived home, they slipped up to uona's room to straighten themselves for lunch. Grace confessed that her talk with uona had helped her a, lot, and when she had done her hair and powder cred her nose a bit confessed to feel ing like a new woman.
 Now can almost face the truth p she said, as-together they tripped down to the dining room. Anything rather than uncertainty for me-

 Now as she sat rosy-clad at the head of the table, she looked every inch the proud and peaceful hostess, and mother of a promising family. These were indeed wonderful days for her. With Truda on the verge of

the body. As this is very importane, I shall give you a list of the different foods with their protein cintent-for, as I have said, it is the protein that has this vital element, nitrogen.
 There has been a good deal of con- troversy regarding the amount of pro- tein needed. The standards we used to go by were the standards worked out by physiologists in Vienna and America, and were based on statistical studies of the eating habits of large groups of people in different walks of life.
 These investigators thought that the appetite of man would instinctively select such amounts of food as were best suited to his needs. It was found that the average amount taken was about four ounces O. protein, reckon ing water free, a day. This is ap- proximately the equivalent of a pound of lean meat.
 Chittenden was the first to question the idea that instinctive selection was a good guide, and he began a series of experiments, lasting over nine months, on himself, some of his col 1egeaues at Yale University, some of the students, and a group of United States soldiers who volunteered.
 They were all given free choice of food, but conscientiously took a low protein intake and not too abundant diet. They were in excellent physi- cal condition at the end of the period and the conclusion was drawn that the body was better nourished when the amount of food eaten corresponds more closely to the minimum the sys- tenn needs, and that faults in the or dinary diet were due to the excess of food and especially of protein.
 The standards which they adopted and which now have been adopted by the majority of dietitians. provide less than half the amount of protein that had been advocated before. Fifty grams, or 1 2-3 ounces of dry pro tein is enough; Chittenden decided.
 At present his conclusions are be- ing questioned, for it is thought that ninsf months was too short a pe- riod to base any radical conclusions upon. Rose says from two to three ounces will give a safe range. This means water free. It would be equiv a1ent to about five to seven ounces of lean meat or about 240-360 ca1or- ies. CYou should not take all of this protein in one fornn).

Advice To The LOVelOrn

Foolish Pride

EOOllSn IT1uG
 Dear Miss Fairfax:
 What do you think of this? Vi and B love each other; they both work and make the same salaries. B will not marry Vi until he makes twice as much as he makes now-but- there is no prospect of his doing this for years vi is willing to marry and keep her position but B won't have this. Wants her to wait until she can remain at home. Don't you think if B really loved her he would adopt her plan? She is thinking of giving him up What is your opinion?
 WONDERING.
 B is making the blunder of putting his masculine pride before all else. If Vi can persuade him to a real partner ship-which is what the right marri- age truly is, their love will be finer and bigger A woman cannot help working proudly and happily side by side with her husband-proyided he realizes that they are both struggling ambitious individuals and that he can give his wife more by offering devotion and understanding than by hanging her with jewels. Luxury and ease are not what a fine woman eraves1 but unless Vi can make her sweet heart see this, they will never be peaceful and happy together.

IMPORTANCE OF PROTEIN IN
 THE DIET
Part J


 Do you remember the elements which go to make up the body? In case you have forgotten, here they are again: Oxygen, 65 per cent: car bon, IS per cent; hydrogen, 10 per cent; nitrogen, 3 per cent; calcium, 2 per cent; phosphorus, 1 per cent. 1; potassium. 0-35 per cent; sulphur, OPS per cent; sodium, O.15 per cent; {; chloride, 0.15 per cent; magnesium, 0.05 per cent; iron, O.OOO4 per cent; Iodine, ffurione, silicon, very minute quantities.
 No better nemonic having come in yet, I shall repeat the one gave you to remember them by which is form ed by their initials: "O!C.Here New Come Petei Please Stop Such Chaf. Many Indignant Indians Firget. 'Sdeathi'' This is silly, but effective.
 I have brought these up again for I want to talk of one of them and that is nitrogen.
 Nitrogen is absolutely necessary to build up muscle and to repair tissues. It is contained only in the foods which have protein in them and that is why the protein part of the meal is so inn portant-
 If you do. not get enough protein you will not have proper growth nor repair. And if you get too much there is apt to be an irritation of the glandular organs and the circulatory system.
 In the reducing by the Eat-and- Grow-Thin menus written by laymen. in which there are no carbohydrates (starches and sugars) and no fats al- lowed, there is a great danger of. too much protein With it's resultant irri- tation and degeneration. These diets are unbalanced and one cannot live on an unbalanced diet very long without also becoming unbalanced.
 Many individuals have lost their health through following these un- balanced diets over long period.
 In the system of reducing by count ing calorieS some who are extra fond of sweets, fats, breads, and so on, think that it is all right to eat as much of them as they like, so long as they count their calories. But there is danger or them in going to the other extreme and not getting enough protein. They will also have trouble sooner or later if they persist in this error, for they will not get enough nitrogen.
 You must have sufficient of the pro- teins to supply the nitrogen needs of

 Mrs. M. M The tonic has not increased the tendency to grey hair- Consult the doctor about your condi- ton as there may be some physical reason for this sudden loss of color
 Rosebud - There is no reason why you should not use water on your completion everey day even though you also use cleansing cream. The reason for the cream is to dissolve the soil in the pores which it will do more effectively than soap. The re- mova1 of the soiled cream can be done then with warm water but since this has opened the pores, they should be closed again by dashes of very cold water.
