my heavens, Janet Look how
you waste time peeling those spuds
why don't you boil them, jackets
and all?"
Janet's brown eyes flashed; then
a hopeless look dragged down the
! corners of normally sweet mouth.
"Oh, Dick, You never think it
matters how 1 do things, and all my
school lessons on making a home
attractive are just wasted on you,
for you don't care, no matter how
hard l try
I'm no softly! Give me plenty OF
grub and a place to sleep. and what
do l care about your fol-de-rols ?
Oilclott. on the tablet Shine up the
tin platesi Posies in a mug"
A sneer twisted his none too
pleasant expression still more, as
the man swung out of the cabin.
Janet let her busy hands hang
idle a moment in utter discourage
ment. She had pulled her chair
into the doorway, where, as she
peeled the potatoes, her eyes could
green mountainside to a valley
threaded with the silver cobwebs of
rivers. The great peaks lowered
again on the farther side, blue,
green and wonderful. The clouds
rested on their crests and cool
winds came drifting over to the
lonely girl; but these brought no
message of comfort today
A happy girlhood in the valley
school had been Janet's. The girls
all worked for their board and she
had delighted to put into practice
the dainty household devices the
school taught.
Was it only a year ago that the
death OF her quiet, hardworking
father had brought her back to the
cabin of the brother who refused to
provide more money for school
ing taught by pack Of tom-fool old
maids?
Dick had never cared to know
anything better than the squalid
mountain ways. A "batch's" round
of biscuits, yellow with soda, meat
cooked to rags and f1at-tasting can
ned goods did not seem to have
sickened him. At least, he sauced
the food Janet prepared most care
fully with his sneers. The year as
his housekeeper seemed like cons
to the poor girl; how long had it
really been since she had heard
words of appreciation and cour-
tesy?
After all, what was the use of try
ing any more? Why mix the bis
cults according to rule, why sweep
and scrub and polish the tinware
until it shone like silver, why put
mountain pinks in tumbler for the
center of the table? She Won only
mockery and scorn, even before the
rough strangers who sometimes
shared bed and board at their cabin.
The blue of the distant peaks
seemed to swim like blue lake
through her bitter tears. There was
a mournful wall in the wind-it was
saying mo use! You are doomed to
become a dull-eyed old slattern be-
fore you are 30 You will be lazily
fat as a meal bag tied in with a
string, and you'll twist up your
greasy hair with one hand while
you shovel out greasy ham and eggs
onto greasy plates for sul1en, food
shoveling men with the otheri No
usei No use."
The discouraged little head was

An Issue In the Cabinet.

The unfortunate cabinet controversy between
Secretary of the Interior Fall and Secretary
OF Agriculture Wallace is attracting country
wide attention. and has reached the stage where
President Harding may be placed in the I'M
happy predicament Of being obliged to deter
mine an acute issue between two members of
his official family. Should the situation de-
velop such a status, the result may naturally
mean the voluntary retirement of the secretary
ruled against Since Secretary Fall, who rep
reseuts the unpopular side, is probably the
nearer Of the two personally to the president,

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Doctors.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Doctors.
Is it true that doctors do not
prescribe the general use of minute
quantities of iodine or io6ides as a
preventive of goitre in goitrous sec
lions of the country, because they
want the cases of goftre to devlop
fully and give them more work?
MRS. L. r. E.
Answer-Whateve course or po-
sition a doctor takes in these mat
tiers, some one is sure to cry mer-
cenary." An excellent way to pre-
vent goitre and other conditions
due to iodine deficiency is by using
for table salt any staple salt to
which sodium iodid has been added
in the proportion of one to five
thousand, about IL grains of So
dunn iddide to the pound. For an
individual who already shows ten
dency toward thyroid enlargement,
much more iodine should be used
about a grain each day for perhaps
six or eight weeks; or drop of
tfncture or iodine twice a day in
water, for six or eight weeks.
You teach that cocoa is not good
for young children. My baby, aged
26 months, has refused to take any
milk for the past year. He will eat
a little on his cereal but that is all.
Recently l tried putting cocoa with
his milk and he takes two OF three
glasses every night and that is all
that he will take for his supper.
use one teaspoonful Of cocoa, two
teaspoonfuIs of sugar, half glass
of boiling water and from two to
two and one-half glasses of milk
1 do not boil it, but just warm it.
Will it hurt him? MRS. H. B. N.
Answer-PerhapS the baby would
take the milk as well if you used
caramel burnt sugar. instead of
raw sugar to flavor the milk. Co
Goa itself has a certain amount of
food value, though this is insignifi-
cant. 1t stimulates the nervous sys-
tenn and the kidneys, and bedtime
isn't a good time to do that in the
case of a child.
Bromide.
Is sodium bromide all right to
take for headache? Is it safer than
aspirin? MRS. K.
Answer-It is safer than aspirin,
though sodium bromide is not a
drug to rifle with. l would suggest
sodium chloride common salt) in
stead.

A liberal run of live poultry has
resnlted in lower prices. With
lighter receipts, the market would,
no doubt, work into better posi-
ton.
Receipts of eggs are increasing,
and practically all producing Sec
tons are now shipping. AS the sea-
SON advances and more liberal vol
ume reaches the market, prices may
be expected to work lower, until they
reach storing basis.
Cream receipts continue light, re-
sulting in higher prices for butter
fat.
Quite little butter is being re-
ceived that is not suitable for the
higher class trade. Better care and
attention to cream on the part of
the producers, and more frequent
deliveries, would enable manufac-
turers to produce butter Of higher
value.
