''Why, if she'd have come to me, or sent to me direct" he said, ha1r aloud, 'I'd have shipped out so quick it would have taken her breath away"
 Gradually he became conscious of the power he held in his hands-of the power to blast the hopes and rep utation of the wife of a railroad president And the consciousness gave him an amount of satisfaction that he could not repress. It intoxi- cated him with it's possibilities, and he walked home, his head swimming, his face draawn into a strange grim ace.
 AS he neared the house with the dark hall room that he occupied he fell to specu1ating again on the mo- tive of the police. And he became more firmly convinced of the con nection between Carro1Ps visit and the cIergyman's interest in him.
 stNo, the cops don't want my aid,'' he thought; they want my absence. Lake is the big man-btg enough to protect his wife. Big enough to reach the police; to do business az the top.s

 Puzzled at this unwonted waste or gas before nightfall. he stood breath lessly against the darkened wall. Not a sound did he hear. Cautiously he made his way to the closed door and placed his ear against the crack. Hearing nothing, he opened the door suddenly, and almost stumbled across Captain West, seated in a chair.
 I've been waiting for you." West said.
 It wasn't often that West left head quarters, even on important cases. He preferred to direct his men rom his desk, and Burke, knowing some thing of the habits Of the chief of detectives, became doubIy certain of the conclu fC2s at which he had ar rived after ssisit to the clergyman.

half teaspoon of powdered borax, and two tablespoonsful of coarse salt have been dissolved. Rub dry and wear a comfortable. loose shoe for a while. If there is a tendency to rneu- matism. soak the feet in a hot solu- tion of Epson salts. Alter the foot bath, a refreshing thing is to spray the feet with toilet vinegar or, if this is not on hand, with toilet water. If there is any soreness rub the places with a piece of cut lemon and let the acid dry into the skin.
 Unecided-If you bobbed your hair and wanted to do it up again very soon, you could count upon sufficient growth in about three months. Of course, you would require the assist ance of a switch and would need to arrange the hair so that short ends would be caught in a net.
 A Reader:-Hair that Is growing from a mole should be removed only by a skin specialist. Since yours is on the side of the forehead, so close to the hair line, there should be noth- ing disfiguring about it and would leave it alone.

 it seems. Will you please suggest
 what I should do? I found myself
 becoming quite constipated and got
 the chocolate agar and continued the same to good advantage. I am very
 much puzzled about not losing.-Mrs.
 ""
 There is only one conclusion to be
 drawn and that is that you are not on
 a reducing diet but a maintenance
 diet for you at this time. You did not mention how much chocolate agar
 you are taking; 1t is possible that
 the chocolate in that is running up
 your calories. Chocolate is very hign
 in caloric value account of the oil in it. Chocolate is approximately 1s0 ca1ories to the ounce. Perhaps you are counting some of your foods too low.
 Better go on a 500 or 500 calorie day, best of skinned milk or watery fruit. That will probably take off a pound or so. You may have to do this once a week. Sunday is good day. Som metimes, by over-eating great 1y in one meal you can gain what you have lost by weeks dieting. It's fendish, I know. but nature in fat people is an indefatigable and relent- | less calorie counter.
 Your other thoub1e you mention | may be due to too strenuous exercise. Mrs M.: Why don't you have your little girls hair bobbed? It will grow again rapidly. If you will shampoo her hair with naptha soap, that ought to rid it of the active in 1 truders. IfNthat does not do it, sat- | urate her haid with solution of | kerosene and sweet oil, half and half, and wrap around with a towel over l night, then give it the naptha soap l bath.
 l If you find the eggs do not come l off with combing with a very fine comb after this treatment, try soak | ing her hair in the same manner in a hot solution of vinegar and water, | half and half.

 Sockums Gets Into Trouble Dear Doctor:
 "The adorable Sockums said this morning that all his diapers had to be ironed. Think of that. A dozen diapers a day and never less and often more is what my babies used. and as never under any circunf stances used one twice. would have had nice time ironing seven or eight dozen diapers week. wouldn't I.
 ''I lived among women who had to work but I never knew one who iron ed diapers, unless it was somebody with nothing much to do. I certainly never ironed one, and I never thought 1t made them any better I always soaked them in two tubs, one for wet and the other for soiled ones, and then boiled them thoroughly and hung them in the sun and air and then folded them away. and I nearly always had two babies wearing dia- pers at the same time. And they were 1uChy II they Ildu llS4T CulSlOS clothes ironed.-M."
 Your letter is just filled with prac- tica1 things, M. and I shall use some more of the material you have sent m later.
 Diapers that can be hung in the sun as your babies were. undoubtedly would be all right without ironing. And perhaps even though they could not have this advantage. if they are thoroughly washed, rinsed, boiled and dried they would probably be all right. The ironing makes them a lit tie smoother.
 I wish more of you mothers would write in to me giving me suggestions and telling me of things that have helped you with your -babies-and tell me of things which have been difficult for you with them, too.

SOOTHING FooTBATHs.

I remember hearing a woman tell band came home of an evening so tired that he was easily irritated, she met the situation with a soothing foothbath. She added that it had never failed to bring apology later for his hasty words. There are few of us who have not had this mans we learned to apply the same remedy.
 Shoes, at their best, are far from the ideal covering for the foot. Real- izing the anatomy of the foot and us relation to the rest of the body, it is surprising that more troubles are not traced to abuse of the feet. In the foot are the most active excreting pores. The foot also has nerves that respond more sensitively to the ner- vous system than those from other parts of the body. Yet we cover it most of the time with materials that do not ventilate easily. and give it very little care until we feel wretched because of our habits.
 Since there is no present means or improving our habits, the best thing to do is to relieve the feet as much as is possible. One of the best ways 10 do this is with the hot bath. This will open all the pores and equalize the circulation, which so often is i'm peded by the pressure of the shoes. Since the feet are so delicately allied to the nervous system, there will be complete relaxation following the foot bath.
 If the toes are red or inf1amed, soak them for a time in hot water in which a half a teaspoon of alum. a
