When is 1t best to eat soup, .
reader wants TO know. at the be-
ginning Of the meal, in the middle
OF the meal. or just before the des-
seft? And is soup nourishing and
what kind is best:
Soup Is an extremely variable ar:
ticle. Sometimes 1t is a food; then

erage. There are soups which are
in themselves good square meals.
And there are soups which might

Clear meat stock soup or broth,
save for the small amount OF fat
floating on the top, has practically
no nutritive value containing very
little if any of the protein sub
stance Of the meat, but merly the
extractives, which certainly have
a pleasant flavor buN no food val

QUESTIONS AND Answers.
Case Of Tenpetftis.
Daddy and L read your corner
every night and like it. l have
question to ask you. I want to
know what temperitis is. Daddy
says I have got it but he won't tell
me what it is, he said that il 1t
wasn't properly controlled 1t might
get serious. Daddy has told me
about other diseases that little girls
don't want to have such as seivilles.
Is it like that? Papa says that II It
was like appendicitis he would
know what to do. My sister has
appendicitis. My name Is
but please don't put my name in
the paper cause Daddy might see
I it, for he reads it every night.
Brother said they would cut out
my tempix II 1t doesn't stop max
ing trouble. Please tell me what
will make it we'll. 1 go to school
and my teachers name is Miss
Morning.
y ,Answer-Temperitis is an acute
inflammation of the tempix sensi-
! tivitus. Some cases require coun-
ter irritation. A serious aspect of
the trouble, if it runs on into a
chronic temperits, is that it spoils
the patients good looks. Tempec-
tony is seldom required nowadays.
What nice name your. teacher
has everybody must call
her good.
! Unbidden Guests.
Kindly tell me what will rid a
place of bedbugs. MRS. S.
Answer-Thorough fumigation
preferably with hydrocyanic gas il
an expert fumigator is available. or
with SULPHUR and steam if you must
do it yourself. The next best thing
is squirting gasoline into every
hole and crews where the bugs may
hide, but of course this calls for
great caution against fire.

Jane Elizabeth Scott trudged
doggedly through the pouring rain,
her dainty, gauZy dress quite
drenched, her satin slippers slosh-
ing miserably in the puddles. Jane
was mad! In fact, Jane was more
than that - she was exceedingly
wroth both with herself and the
world in general. but in particular
with the masculine half of it.
Three hours earlier she had
preened for 80 minutes before her
mirror, and. satisfied with the pic
ture she saw reflected there, she
had joined her handsome escort
and started for the most important
event of her young life.
After much worming and squirm-
ing she had been invited to
the supper-dance at the Fitz-Carl-
ton, the party including the most
socially important members Of the
exclusive South Side set. Her es-
cort had been Jimmy Laheman. a
creature of her own modest class,
and he had been tae cause of James
wrath.
The very first dance! With per-
spring brow and fast-wilting col
lar, he had bravely started the
dance, but alack and alas, he haG
slipped in the center of the floor
sprawling ungracefully, which was
bad enough. but in his mad attempt
to regain his footing he had clutch
! ed at her skirt, which partially
gave way, and reduced her in Z
heap on the floor beside him. with
an undignified expanse of sill
stockings furnishing the last straw
Jane never knew how she lef
the hotel. She had damned on hel
hat, ignoring poor Jimmy's frantic
pleadings for forgiveness, and hat
walked determinedly out into tn,
pouring rain.
Such was James hard luck story
Never again! She was through
with men! Fire fairly popping GU
of her dark blue eyes. Jane trudg
ed on, regardless Of the looks o
passersby. One block from he

street lamp glistening on the badg

pressed on, reached the curb, slip
ped in the mud, and went splash

blocks around. Her satin slippe
went flying off into the darkness
Jane sat perfectly still and cried
This was the limit.
We'll. we'll, this is too bad. Ar
you hurt, MISS" Without waitin
for a reply the policeman attempt
ed to lift Jane from her damp seal
but with fantic, puny fists sh
fought him off.
! Don't touch me-" she cried hys
: terically.

said nothing. She continued to 81
