was more than little angry, in

old danes meaning was only too
plain. When Joan was alone, she
became pensive, and her lip quiv-

bigger than mans hand in the
sky of her otherwise perfect hap
piness, seemed to darken. The
tinge OF pain that always lurked
In her heart grcG keener.
Philip loved her: yet she could
not but feel that his love was of
another quality than hers. There
was\a brooding doubt: the everre-
curing question: Would he have
asked her to be his wife. IL she had
remained obscure and pennlless?
Daily. and always. too, in the
watches of the night, that query
came to her lips.
And the answer was-no. Joan
felt it so; no reasoning could argue
1t away. She knew he would have
done nothing of the kind He
would have stifled whatever love
he felt. and gone on his way. A
small, fluttering sigh escaped
Joan.

she said This miracle that I
prayed for: the wealth and the
position. that would leave him free
to speak-hasn't Il come to me?
What right had I to expect that
he should give up so much for

Yet the little pain and the little
doubt remained.
After all, what did It matter,
now that she was secure?
The superb car that had been
sent up from Clievemead stood at
the curb in Charles street. Joan,
pink with excitement and expecta-
ton, came out in a fine motoring
coat and veil, bearing with her a
wicker cage.
What on earth have you got
there?" asked Lady Dunluce.
It's a p!geon--a great pet OF

Induce your young oil consumer
to get UP each morning five
minutes earlier than has been his
custom and to put in the extra
time combing his hair without
grease and scraping the teeth Of a.
good comb over every inch Of his
scalp. After a week of this he will
have two very interesting results:
First, a beautiful head of hair
made soft and glossy by the
natural oil from the scalp; second,
a ruddy. healthy scalp condition.
This scalp massage rightly done
not only gives a pleasant tone to
the skin under the hair, but 1t is
a mild tonic for the brain and the
mind. The friction tends to draw
an increased amount of good fresh
blood in the direction of the head,
and the brain gets a portion Of
this. Indeed, a very effective way
for a youth to drive away that

while trying to study, is to mas

warmth.

LIME IN OUR
DIET
BY Brice Belden, M. D.

"HE average adult requires
about one gram, or fifteen
l. grains, of lime a day.
otherwise his bones and teeth
will suffer.
This amount Of lime is contain.
ed in twenty ounces of milk.
Right here we see the immense
importance of milk in the diet.
other foods containing lime are
nuts, turnip tops, spinach, let
luce, cabbage, cottage cheese,
bran, and the yolks of eggs
Foods almost wholly lacking in
lime are fine flour bread, pota-
toes, most Of the fruits, new
process corn meal, polished rice,
rice flakes. corn flakes, cream OF
wheat, hominy, farina and corn
starch. But the fact that most Of
these foods are eaten with milk
Is fortunate, since II makes good
their deficiency in lime.
or course, apart from this de-
ficiency In lime, the foods men,
toned possess great nutritive
value and should be eaten by
everyone, provided their defici-
ency is made up by the use Of
milk and other substances rich
In lime.
So much for adults. Children,
on the other hand, require two or
three times as much lime as adults,
in order to grow. Even two-year.
old baby needs as much lime as an
adult, while a child seventy-five
pounds in weight requires three
times as much. Growth and bone
production depend essentially upon
lime.
On this account children should
be given much milk oatmeal and
whole wheat products. Cane sugar,
glucose and corn syrup are not so
good for children as molasses.
maple sugar and malt syrup, as
the former are wholly lacking In
lime and the latter are rich in lime.
Dates, figs and raisins will sat
isfy the craving of children for
sweets, and are all rich In both
lime and iron.
The foods which have been men,
toned as rich in lime are also rich
in vitamines.
If the facts outlined are borne in
mind in the feeding Of children,
good teeth and strong bones will
surely result. Neglect or ignor-
ance OF these facts accounts for the
prevalence of bad teeth and ricketts,,
