ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.
My dear Followers:

My dear FOlIOWerS:
 Mrs F. J-You say your baby weighs 12 1-2 pounds and is very thin and has not gained for the last three months. q He is on a formula of IS ounces of milk, oneeounce malt sugar, IA ounces of rice water and one and one-haIf ounces of lime water.
 Your baby is simply not getting enough to eat, Mrs. F. J. That is why he is thin. A normal weight baby should have from one and one-half ounces to two ounces of milk per pound a day, and a thin baby could have even up to two and one-half ounces. You can see that your baby, even on the lowest count, is getting about four ounces less than he should
 You must gradually begin to in crease the milk about one ounce every third day until he is getting up to perhaps 24 ounces of milk or more. You can increase the sugar, too, to one and one-half ounces. Dem nett allows one and one-ha1f ounces of sugar per day after the baby weighs 10 pounds.
 This gives a mixture of six or seven per cent sugar, the same as is in breast milk Four level tablespoon fuIs of malt sugar is one ounce, so he could have two level tabIespoonsfu1 more. But increase 1t very gradually about one level teaspoonfu1 every other day. If you have any difficulty you had better see a baby specialist.
 We do not use lime water in milk now.
 Mrs. S. P.-Fffty-two years of ege is young, woman! Certainly you should not be encountered with so much excess weight. And you will benefit by reducing undoubtedly Our oldest follower, so far, is S3, and he is most enthusiastic. The chief thing to remember is to reduce slowly and to have a balanced diet while reduc- ing. Send for our instructions if you haven't them.
 Mrs. c. J.-If you will send the s. a. e. Stamped, addressed envelope)

CHAPTER II.
A Tall Order.

On the morning of the happenings | just described, was in the grocery on the first floor of the corner build 1 ing in which was Mi1ly Dilly's studio by command of the Burts. I heard the tapping cane of the Burts's blind eyes on the black stair way.
 That you, Whisp?' he asked as he came through the door. ''Yes, MT. Burts.'' "Sit." I sat and he took a chair, hooking the handle of his cane over it's arm. What do you think of things?'
 Just about as bad as they can be-" I answered promptly. 'I think it's ripe" he said finally | I'm going after it. We'll turn them out next fall It's what I've waited five years for, Whisp. It's opportun- ity.''
 'I've bought the Sentinel" contin- ued The Burts. T had to have a newspaper. WhaIen had 'em all and we must get public ity. It isn't known I own the Senti- nel and I don't want it known, but it's mine. It will make my campaign and it's going to tie WhaIen up in a package and lay him aside for keeps I've waited patiently five years Whisp, and now I see silver Things for mayor ''Who?" 'If I knew shouldn't be calling on you for help. I'll describe him.
 "Go ahead"
 Hell be a young man and he won't have any political trademarks on him. No corporation will have brand on him; nobody will be his boss"
 That's what he isn't. Now what is he?"
 "A clean cut. clean living, bright American with brains and muscle. Maybe he paints pictures, maybe he writes poetry"
 What the! A poet for mayor ?''
 I'd rather have him a poet than anything else. but I'll take an ordi- nary writer of fiction or even essays. An artist will do.''
 But what's the idea. boss?"
 This city is sick of business men's administrations I'm going to let the people have a change of diet"
 ''BGt suppose they fall for it what good would such mayor do us you and me?''
 Not much" The Blind Boss frown- ed. I'm after Whalen first
 'fNow it's your job. Whisp, to find our dandidate. No rush about it. Take your lime and when you bring him to me be sure. This is going 70 cost me real money and I don't want any extra weight handicap" I've got you. boss,' I replied, rfs- ing to go. T was at the door when Burts spoke again.
 "MlIicent is home.' he said. Back this morning Run in and see her when you have time. Whisp. You might sort of explain to her a bit. Shel ikes you.''
 I'll taIk\to her. I said and went away

ON BEING A CYNIC.

Sometimes I feel that I should warn my readers not to believe everything they read. I don't mean that they should be absolutely cynical but that they should apply hard common sense to what they read on the sub ject of health and beauty. A fancy name in large type doesn't mean that the article is necessarily a cure-all for blemishes; the contrary, infact, is more likely to be the case.
 Your best guide when you don't know is to purchase only the best known preparations. These are usual tised ones. Even this is not an ab- the quality of the advertising as well as the amount. This is a statement that needs further explanation, and that is why advised you to be cyn- ica1. Your common sense will tell you that no grand cure all for beauty ills has yet been discovered. Had it been we would all have known of it long since and 1t would need no ex- pensive advertising. Therefore, be- ware of the preparation which says it will make you beautiful overnight, or grow you a thick head of hair by morning. It takes years of neglect or the wrong sort of treatments to give a bad skin or a partly bald head. Your common sense must tell you, then, that it will take months at least to make such a condition right.
 But nobody can lay down hard and fast rules in a matter like this. I can tell you not to buy a cream or face powder because of it's gaudy jar, or an eyebrow tonic because of it's delicate perfume. Another warning
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1922-10-28

is don't purchase certain preparations simply because the shop assistant re- comments them. Every shop handles on commission a certain line of pre- parations and naturally will wish to sell that special sort
 Francis-BIeach the sunburn from your arms by rubbing into the skin each night either the juice of cucum- bers or lenon
 Prfncess-A cream to be nourish- ing should contain vegetable oil, such as almond or olive oil As fine grades in those are expensive, mineral oil is often used instead, but this oil does not nourish-which may account for your disappointment in using some creams. Excellent cream formulas are printed in this column from time to time, but there is not space to re- peat one just now. If you send a. S. a. e. I shall be glad to mail you di- rections for making both cleansing and building creams
 Catherine-A piece of channels rub bed over the skin when it appears shiny, will be all that most complex ions need.
 Pauline-As you are only 16, you cannot expect to be evenly developed. A few more years will be all that you need to perfect your proportions.
 All inquiries addressed to Miss Forbes in care of the Beauty Chats department will be answered in these columns in their turn. This requires considerable time. however, owing to the great number received. So if a personal or quicker reply is desired, stamped and self addressed en- ve1ope must be enclosed with the questton.-The Editor.

CHAPTER I. The WiHoW-Ware Man.

The Willow Ware Man. l After three months absence Milly billy Burts gave her father an af- fectfonate squeeze, hugged the Persian cat, tossed her outer wraps at a maid bound an old, yellow veil turbanwise about her head, found a broom and went directly to her studio. There she threw open a window, and push ed wide it's shutters. Good morning!" exclaimed a young man who sat the railing Of a porch a few feet away. Milly D1lly had never seen the young man, the railing nor the porch before in her life.
 The studio had always in Milly Dil- ly's experience, faced to a rocy hill- side cut by the hand of man to a | street departments idea of what should be grade. But never before had it's rugged crest shown her a shingled bungalow with a porch, a rail and a young man clinging to it. q didn't know there was a house so near!'' gasped Milly billy. q didn't know heaven was so near!' exclaimed the young man promptly.
 Tt was just barren hill," contin- ued Mi1ly billy Just barren hill until a minute ago." he admitted. But the nOuSe-Cne DuuSdlOW Built on a barren hill beside dingy tenement, not knowing it was paradise
 Milly billy, still in amaze, glanced at the sea beyond the little bungalow, then looked down at the street far below.
 She noted that from the porch-raiI- ing to the alleyway was a sheer drop of many feet. It made Milly billy shudder.
 The bungalow did not look unduly solid; the ba1ustrade on which the young man sat bowed beneath his weight.
 "Is it safe?" asked Mi1Iy billy ap- prehensively.
 Perfectly safe. I made it with my own hands. The house is quite strong. I built it from my own plans."
 Ut is a strange site.''
 Reminds one of the Alps, does mt it? I have named it the tAerie'. am rather proud of it-'
 "It doesn't appear exactly square"
 "You have a, quick eye. Are you an artist?''
 Not very much of one. I do some applied arts, Jewelry-making, carving, -binding."
 "Wonderfu1 work. That is your shop-studio, I mean?'',
 ''YeS. l am giving it cleaning
 You are going to remain at home now?"
 "I expect to be home certainly. I must finish cleaning my studio ready for work" she said, but she did not hurry away from the window.
 She stirred as though to go, giv- ing him opportunity to make his own ending to this conversation.
 ''We are neighbors now. I shall see you often, I trust" he said.
 tI shall use the only window at intervals she replied
 'I am bound for the trout streams across the bay. If fortunate, may I bring you a mess of trout %
 tsNo-you couldn't. There isn't any way to cook them," temporized MiIly billy,
 ''You do not keep house then?"
 "'No"
 Milly billy had housekeeper. cook and three maids, so she spoke the truth. She could not explain every thing to the young man, though. He went down the zigzagging steps that led from his porch to the street grade carrying his rod and reel and a mis- conception of MiIIy billy based upon her remarks, her turban and broom and her position in the window of a rather raggity-jaggity tenement build ing at the base of a big hill.

CHAPTER III.
"T Swear


 Unfortunately there isn't a direct ory of poets. There was a woeful lack of poets in the city
 I began on the novelists and short story writers with better hopes and a larger list. I started to give them the systematic once-over.
 Meanwhile Mi11y billy and the will 1ow-ware architect were making pro- 'g-ress in acquaintanceship. He had been fortunate on his fishing excur- sion and cooked them all at his kitchen range. When they were ready he called her to the window.
 Milly billy answered and found the young man holding out for her in- spection a platter of smoking fried trout. !.
 "Have sone?" he proffered.
 How can I?'' she asked
 "FH shoot, them across the chasm''
 ''I could eat about three - the smallest three"
 Wait"
 He stepped within. taking the plat ter. He returned in a moment car rying his fishing rod.

 Now what do I do?" asked MfIIy billy ''Tie your end to something - tnas window latch"
 As she obeyed, he pulled the line taut, fastened his end, cut it and prepared to cast again.
 We'll have a double line across in a second,' he said
 Again he cast and the line wf1isked into the window. '"Ttfe the two to- gether now, put 'em over the Iatch- that's rightl Now we need car" "A basket-I have one that will be f1ne,' cried MiIly billy. running to empty her work basket.
 "Fasten it to the lower line, then send it across
 The young man brought out the fish wrapped in Chinese napkin and ferried them across. To Mil1y Di1ly's Thank you.' he returned a gracious reply and disappeared behind a croses door.
 Milly ate the young mans trour, which were still piping hot, and ap- proved his ability as cook and his

PICKENS AND THE SENTINEL

If you lived in a. town that had a
newspaper and your home paper had
larger circulation than any paper
published in any town the same size
IN the state, you would feel right
proud of the fact, wouldn't YOU? Of
| course You would; we would too And
If your home paper could ;,luW
this record you would support it, too.
wouldn't YOU?
Well why don't YOU?
| The Pickcns Sentinel. published
right here in Pickcns, has a larger
circulation than any paper published
In q town Of the same size in South
Carolina.
| This fact shows that the paper is
getting the support Of .hc rao;lc
thruout the county.
A glance at tho ADVERTISING col
umrs Of the PAPER, however, show:
that Tho Sentinel is not getting muci
support from tho business men OF
Pickcns, Out of Approximately thir
ty business houses which should use
the columns of the paper there are
only four regular alvcrtiscrs-F
ger, Hendricks & Co, Edwards &
DaTscy, Kcowcc Pharmacy and II. p
Sitton, Jr.
The Sentinel is not getting the sup
port it deserves from the business
men of Pickens, but this fact is no
lnlurn" TIC paper as much as it is
iniuring the town.
, Notwithstanding lack Of support
from the town The Sentinel will con
tinuc tc boost Pickcns for it is a place
: worth boosting, When we can't
praise the town where we live wei
move to one we can praise.
The Sentinel is the oldest business
institution in Pickens. For more thar
half century it has increasingly
served PicHens county and it will con
tinuc to do so.
