CHILDREN'S HABITS

Oh, that I could write with pen as large as Big Bertha and as far reaching in each stroke! How woe ,ful and terribly widespread is the ig- norance on the fundamentals of the diet of children.
 Aside from the infectious diseases, four-fifths of the disorders ok children are traceable directly to Improper foods. insufficient foods and faulty food habits
 How can make my little girl eat, doctor? It is coax and tease her all the time to eat the things she needs She won't eat this, she won't eat that she is finicky, irritable and nervous. She is way underweight but cannot get her interested in eating."
 This is from one of my correspond ents. The following is from another:
 Doctor, am writing this, not to thank you for having given me in structions by which I have reduced my weight, but because you have saved the fife of my little girl.
 "She was slowly, but surely, going to death. had had her examined again and again by a good physician He said there was nothing organically wrong with her but that she must eat more of all nourishing foods. We did not understand anything about food values and we thou ght she was eating a lot. Still she did not gain but was steadily losing. and we were in despair.
 ''Then came your Key to the Calor- ies. God bless youl And God bless the caloriesi She has gained five pounds in weight in ten days and is herself counting her calories and making a little game of it.
 we found she had been taking only one-third of the number of cal ories that she needed and we thought that she was eating a lot! She is a different child already"
 The first mother who wrote can get some very valuable lessons from the second mother. The first lesson is that the child was taken to a physician to find out of there was anything organ icalIy wrong with her The second is that the mother got the chi1d's in terest in it's own welfare, And the third Ia that she studied herself and

Russian Rubles
 Becoming More
 Stable With Time

Moscow. Aug. 2-The Russian State Bank has reduced it's interest rates on short terms loans to two per cent monthly, as a result of the recent trend toward stabilization of the ru- ble. Previously the bank charged from ten percent. monthly upward, and in addition insured its loan against further depreciation in actual purchasing power.
 For more than two months the So- viet ruble has remained practically stationary at about 100000 to the dollar. At the present time the ruble is rising slowly.
 M. Scheinemann, president of the State Bank, has said that this stabiI- zauon process will continue, as pros- poets for 0 fair harvest will mean a continued drop in prices of staple foodstuffs.
 The bank now pays depositors one per cent. monthly on current ac- counts, as compared to three per cent previously.

Girl Stowaways Are
 Found; Treated As Royally As Prlncesse

Aboard the Majestic, Mfd- Ocean-By Radio to Tnterna- tionaI News)-Aug. -HuddIed in a dark closet and cHnging to 8 box of biscuits, Catherine Elem ing, IA, and Anna Mullen, IA, two little New York girls, found slowed away on this vessel 200 miles out of port, are losing some of their fears and regaining their composure.
 .sWe borrowed a visitors pass to get aboard" they told Com modore Sir Bertrand Hayes, com mander of the ship, s'because we wanted to see the ladies' swim ming pool"
 Denying that they had deIiber- ateIy slowed away, the little girls said they had wandered in the labyrinth of corridors on board the huge liner until they were completely confused.
 ''We couldn't find our way out so we hid ourselves in a closet,'' said Anna.
 The fatal evidence, however, in the eyes of the ships officers, was the box of biscuits, which they hinted might" have been laid away as provisions.
 Passengers and the stewardesses on the ship soon put the two young adventureSSeS at ease. They were dined and berthed in the second cabin, and their cotton dresses exchanged for warm gar rnents. They will be turned over to the American consul to be re- turned home when they arrive in Southampton probably Friday.

Favorite Pastirne May Be Watching
 For Girls Picture

Yakima, Wash, Aug. 2.-Watch out for apples with pretty girls pictures on them. The girls in the apple-grow- ing sections of the Northwest are printing with negatives direct on growing apples with pleasing results.
 Selecting large, green apples which a little later will be red, they cover them with black paper to increase the sensitive nature of the skin. A few days later this is removed and @ film negative Is pasted on the apple skin with white of egg. The printing takes only a short time and the result Is a good photograph. Scenery, designs trademarks and lettering are also transferred to apples in this manner
 Some Of these illustrated red ap- pIes bearing pictures of Northwest beauties certainly will get to other parts of the country this fall and win. ter. "Pippins" on pippins.

l "Carril,' rang in his ears. "Senora I Carrill!''
 Billy sat up, yawning piteously. l What's doin'?" he demanded fret
 fully.
 "Senora Carril," repeated Martinez. Billy followed the others gesture, | then scrambled up, blushing pinkly. "Oh, by GeorgeI" he stammered. | At least-I beg pardon!" 1 A girl was standing in the room l a stately, black-haired, magnolia
 skinned incarnation of Spanish love- | liness, her magnificent black-velvet l eyes resting on the American. l She was richly dressed in flowing | black silk, and the small hand she | extended flashed with jewels even at
 that hour and in that place. ''Senor Graeme, I am Lucian CaE- | riPs sister-in-law,' she announced.
 q am Faustina Carril. We should | be friends
 She spoke in English, with an en- | trancing accent. The dazzled Billy | articulated a phrase of acknowledg- | ment, touching her soft fingers. He | was acutely aware of, his rumpled at | tire and that his yellow hair was | tumbled into wild disorder instead of
 its usual sleekly brushed decorum. | T have been with the Senorita Ar 1 den all the afternoon" she went on. we have become friends, she and I | It is because of her that I venture | to disturb you, not only to offer my | thanks for all you have done for Lu- | elan.

 the only seat in the room for the l lady, his senses in a whirl. Carrils s l siSter-in-law she was married, | then!"
 "If it ain't easy. can't save you | from sayin' it?" he proposed. An j-I can take care of Trix, my f1ancee;
 I think it was all nonsense for Carril | to propose getttn' himself shot that l way, instead of speakin'." l She shook her head with a, mel | ancholy smile.
 | "It is useless to feign, ,Senor Gaeme | You would have done the same in his | place. No, we must think-it is our duty to think of your brave and gen. l erous betrothed. I have seen Lucian
 and he agrees with me, however, re- luctantly. Senor. when the story of | that night and the trial is told all | through Mexico and your United l States-as it will be-it must be told
 of Lucian Carrils widow, not of a
 young girl"
 l 'what?" gasped Billy IT,
 "It is hard for you,'' she sympa-
 thized, her superb eyes soft with pity
 "But, after all, it only means brief
 delay. Tonight, after this marriage
 in mere name, you and ] will take her back to her parents. At the end ot a few months she can marry you, as you had planned. She is so white g | flower, you cannot let scandal breathe upon her" l "But-Carril is Twin, not lyin'!" he exclaimed. How could she be his | widow, anyhow?"
 The girl regarded him wonderingly then put her handkerchief across her eyes.
 ''Senor Graeme, have you forgotten &that Lucians. desertion of his post Hcost Mexico a battle, loss of property and loss of life? Can that pass ig-

CHAPTER VI. (Continued) The Girl Who Remembered.

It was necessary to wait an hour for the train, an hour which Bhiy found well filled. He had swallow ed some luncheon, donned conven- tional riding costume this time, m stead of the chauffeur's leggings, and Being neither a soldier nor an In- dian. he frankly yawned as he waited the last five minutes on the sta ton platform.

 The Indian had touched his sleeve. Mos siguen," he informed his em- p1oyer.
 "Followin' us ?" Billy turned. A trim American apparition flash ed up to the station; a girl in the costume appropriate for a Long ls- land hunt or a morning gallop in the park was off her horse and beside the traveller. Behind her came more slowly a native maid from the hotel also mounted and dressed for riding The cigarette suddenly fell from Billy Graeme's lips: "Trix!" he identified. 'T am coming she declared reso' lutely. They will believe me il not you. Billy. if you will not take me with you I will follow along" "You know there will be a rotten row when you get back he expostu- lated.
 Billy, I am coming. I am safe with you. I cannot bear it-that any one should die for helping me. And Tiff what mama says is true, ii does not matter much what I do now anyhow" Her eyes filled impetuous- ly.
 Billy took off his hat and gripped her little gloved hand, his dimpleo chin set grimly: 'If anyone gossiups about you, Fl do some shootin' myself" he prom ised. "But i will be rough trip Trix; the train don't go near the place. an we'll have to do some ridin'."
 She nodded courageously: "I am ready, Billy. They think at home. that I am asleep in my room. I left a note explaining" Your maids goin' to stand it?" "Rafaela is your guides wife, she laughed hysterica1ly. without her ] could not have managed this" "All right! I'll go see about gettin your horses put on board, this towr is awfully like America, Trix-you | can get most anythin' done if you'v, got enough money"

BEAUTY CHATS
EXERCISES TO REDUCE
By EDNA KENT TORRES

It is almost hopeless to tell the
 stout woman to exercise in order to reduce. She hasn't the exercising temperament, if she had she prob ably wouldn't be stout, besides as she has indulged her own comfort to a great exaent while she has been put ting on flesh. Her will power or her ably too much weakened for her to stick at any strenuous regime. However some women so value their youthful good looks that they will make these trif1ing sacrifices, Eventually, of course, they like the strenuous exercising, it's only the be- ginning of it that is hard. They like I the feeling of being fit and vogorous. | But it takes an enormous amount | of exercise to reduce flesh, while the | more strenuous the exercise the larg-
 CT the appetite it produces. A wom- an who Is reducing can eat more if she exercises a great deal than if she i lives g sedenbary life. but she will | never be able to eat enough to satisfy
 her appetite and she must make up | her mind to that.
 l The easiest and pleaSantest way to reduce is to join a gymnasium. If there are no gymnasiums several
 stout women should join together and l start one. It's perfectly simple be- cause the only thing needed is a large | empty room and several sets of Indi- | an clubs or dumb-bells. Broomsticks l are an inexpensive substitute for gymnasium wands. The best part of
 a club or gymnasium of this sort is | the element of competition it intro duces. Taking exercises all by one 1 self in an empty attic room is dreary work and easy to avoid, but taking exercises with other people keeps one
 up to the mark, makes one afraid to | cut classes and anxious to excel 1 L. Mt is possible if you have | a small amount of salicylic acid add | ed to your powder, it will help this excessive precipitation of your feet. | Your druggist will arrange the pro- | portions for you, so 1t will act as a
