WHAT'S THE USE

If you dance the jazz and shin1n1y.
 you're a bounder. If you do not jazz and shimny, you're a, rube. If you stay out in the evening. you're
 rounder. If you stick around the house
 you are a. boob. If you spend your money freely. you're 8 sucker. If you guard your money closely you're an egg. If you let the people beat you, you're a mucker. If you get what's coming to you, you're a yegg. If you try to help a cause, you're a four-fiusf1er- If you do not try to help, you are a
 mutt If you talk the highbrow stuff, you are a gusher. If you talk the low-brow stuff you are a nut If you run an automobile. you're a duffer. If you do not run an auto, you're a yap. If you try to make a speech, you are a buffer. If you never trytto make one, you're a sap. If you dress we'll. they will call you cake eater. If you don't regard your clothes. you are a mark. If you lose your wad in Wall street, you're a bleater. If you win out down in Wall street. you're a shark. No matter what you do. they're going to slam you. We all come in for our share of abuse.

 since that law has been passed 1 +F,ousands have been saved from blindness caused by that terrible dis l ease, gonorrheal opthalma. We sell dom see a case of it now, and in a big eye hospital in New York. where they ] used to have a large ward for babies suffering from this cause, now have so few that the ward has been con- verted into a lecture room. That's better, isn't it? And in the homes for blind children. where formerly 30 per cent of the blindness was caused by this terrible thing, now there is very small percent.
 "Of course we know that your pa rents were brought up to know that their sex meant their parenthood and they looked forward to having some time a dear little babe like you, and they did not subject themselves to the possibility of infection of genorr- hea and syphilis-another fearful dis ease which may be passed on to ba- bies- However, we use the preventive drops as a routine, for we take no chances on any baby being blind through our negligence. It didn't hurt so much, did it, little cunnin' ?"
 I screwed up my face in the sem b1ance of a sporting smile and agreed with her. I'm strong for anything that is for such wide good as that. It seems that this genorFhea1 opthalmia is caused by little germ or micro scopic weedplant, the gonococcus that gets in the eyes of babies in their journey to the world, if there is infec- ton by these germs. The drops kill the germs and thus stop their rapid growth, and so prevent the inf1amma= tion which may blind.
 Well, I hoped I would be able to finish my nap now, but gosh, no. I had to have an oil rub and a bath, it seems. I'll tell you of that tomor- row, and also of my diet. I hope that doctor isn't going to feed me calories,

EARLY SPRING TONICS

Have you been taking a tonic this spring? If you haven't it is not too late to take one now. After the starchy diet of the winter some tonic should be taken to thin the blood. Great numbers of girls always write me at this, season and complain of pimples, though they say that their skins are normally clear. The only
 trouble is that the blood has become rich and thick Gas it must to resist the cold of the winter), and now after a few weeks of warmth when the body need not generate so much heat in it. self the skin breaks out with ugly and sometimes rather sore eruptfons.
 Personally, I know of nothing more effective than the simple old fash toned tonic of our gra ndmother's day, which l recommend faithfully every spring. It Is made by mixing one tablespoonful of powdered flour of sulphur with two tablespoonful of
 m classes or syrup. The dose is a ta- b1espoonful a day for three days, then three days when mono is taken, then teaspoonful a day is repeated for another three days and, if the skin is quite bad, after A three days rest three more spoonfuls are taken
 The first effect probably will be to bring out several unexpected erup- tions on the face, but these will go away quickly. I do not know Of any tonic that will give the skin such clear, creamy color as this. It is sup posed to act upon the liver and kid neys as we'll as the bowel system

TRUDA REPENTS

Within the next few days, how ever the two sisters patched up their differences, and seemed to be good friends as ever again, much to Mrs. Cameron'S satiSfa ction. Things would no doubt improve from now on. and with Truda's cooperation it would be much simpler to train Ilona in the paths she must walk in the future for Truda would coach her new sister every inch of the way.
 The hint concerning Jimmie War burton dropped to Ilona was brooded over at first by her, then accepted From that moment she determined newer to talk to him alone, again, if she. could possibly avoid doing so without hurting his feelings, at least not until he had been safely landed by Trnda. There was no man worth the bAckering over. That was sure and finer riding or enjoying Jimmie's society for itself alone was going to cause rows in the family she intend ed to keep away from him.
 Its too bad that I had to be cross to Lona, mother Truda ventured, repeatedly, shortly after the incident. '-But I reckon you were right. She's too good hearted to really try to step in between us I'm sure" well, I should just.say so. True Cameron The very idea made me too mad for words" and, Mrs. Cameron looked re- proachfully at her daughter. A@what on earth do you all suppose that Lona would want to make trouble for anyhow? And why on earth should she have any intentions as far as Jimmie is concerned is

more than I can see. Ilona's two whole years younger than you and a mere child. She's got heaps of time to jus play round yet and get ac- quainted with the people in the world, honey. and I'm convinced she's not dreaming of any special beauX yet.''
 We must fix her up for the dance at the country club next week, sure enough, mother. Maybe Jim will pop the question that night. He's been awfully sweet lately, jus can't do enough for me. If he does, we'll there'n be a weddin' to tend to fore long, you know" Truda finished with a charming blush.
 Bless yo' little heart I do hope so, there's nothin' would please yo' mother mo. Nothin','' said Mrs Cameron slurring her words as she was wont when excited. "It would be grand if you and Jimmie were to help me when I bring out IIona later on. An if you all had a home of your own it would come perfectly nat uraI wouldn't 1t now?''
 Don't every worry, mother, if I get Jimmie there isn't anything I won't no real tellin' though bout men, is there?' with sigh. And two more girls in this town are carryin' on scanda1ous over J. Warburton right now. It's too bad he's so popular, I think"
 Run along now honey and buy me that silk I asked you to, and don't forget to offer to help Ilona dress the night of the ball. She's still all at sea bout such things

mato with relation to this particular vftamine is that it still seems to be efficient in preventing scurvy after the tomato has been heated or dried, which iS not true of all foods wn1cn possess 1t in the raw state, This is probably due to the fact that the to- mato contains such large amounts of vitamine c that part of 1t survives the heating process.
 So valuable is the tomato as a course of this mysterious and import ant ingredient of the diet that physi- clans now recommend it for babies fed on pasteurized milk, just as they have for some time prescribed orange juice.
 If tomato juice is to be given to g. child it should be carefully strained in order to eliminate any seed. One half tablespoon of fresh tomato juice or one tablespoon of canned tomato juice daily is a safe allowance.

Dear Mrs, Thompson: have been going withsboys ever since I was four teen years old. I have seemed to like all ofethem, but none well enough to marry. Lately, however, a young man has come to town who is just my ideal He is good looking, a good dancer, and4a very good dresser He has nice face and I am sure his character is good as his appear . ance. I have been introduced to him, but he did not seem to notice me any more than he did the other girls who met him at the same time. He has cousins here and he always takes one of his cousins to a dance

 Fruit Sa1ad-One orange. one ba- mana, three-quarters cup of shredded pineapple. Cut orange and banana in sweeten to taste. Now add four marshmallows. cut in pieces. Let stand a short time before serving and the 1narshma1lows absorb the juice of the fruit. Serve on individual plates topped with whipped cream. This granished with canned sweet cherries is very attractive.
 Ham Patties-Mix one part cold boiled ham, put through food chop per, with two parts bread crumbs wet with milk. Put in individual baking dishes, hollow out center. break one egg in each, season with salt and pepper, cover with crumbs Bake until brown.
 Baked Apple Dumpling-Make a pie crust, divide it into six parts and roll each part thin; have ready six good sized tart apples, pared and cored, fill up the. cores with sugar and butter Close the dough neatly around the apples and turn the closed side down in a deep dish. Sprinkle some sugar over them, also 8 little ground cinnamon or other spice and set them in the oven to bake. Spread a little butter over each of the dump hngs as they go to the oven. Put in plenty of spices, nutmegs, cinnamon and mace. Throw a little water in the dish and bake three-quarters Of an hour. Sugar and butter sauce Is a great improvement, but it is very good without it.
