She hurt Priscilla's feelings 10 such an extent that the brown bread was not & success. We could not eat it, and the beans were burned. Pris- cilla said it was all on account of the cook making her so unhappy that she could not think of anything except the servants impotence.
 When all this happened l called up John at his office, and he told me he woud not return to the apart ment until Priscilla had Left, Of course this put me in terrible po- sition. as l could not pointedly ask her to go, and she had said nothing about it.
 Miss Anderson, too, has been act ing very strangely lately. She is not her sunny self at all. In fact, she told me yesterday that she was worn out, and would probably have to take a vacation as soon as you re- turn.
 You can see you are needed here much more than in your fathers house, where you have probably every luxury.
 Your loving mother,

Breakfast--Baked apples, rolled oats. top milk or cream. crisp whole wheat toast, poached eggs, coffee. milk or cocoa.
 Luncheon--Cream of pea soup, graham bread and butter sand wiches, peace tapioca pudding with cream.
 Dinner-Broiled porterhouse or sirloin steak, boiled potato, wax beans in cream, shredded cabbage, baked pears, plain cup cakes, milk and tea.
 Every child needs a substantial breakfast, but the foods must be easily digested. While cream is de- sirable for it's butterfat and, vita mins, many children fall to assiriS ate cream and thrive on rich milk with cereals rather than the heavier cream. Use little or no sugar over cereals, Long cooking brings out the natural sweetness of grain products.
 The noon meal is perhaps the most difficult to plan. Salads and elaborate sandwiches that mean so much to grownups are not for youngsters. But cream, soup is liked by everybody and ideal for children. When school begins, the necessity for a nourishing but light luncheon increases. Growing brains and bodies need plenty of tissue

Letter from Mrs. Mary Alden Pres scott to Mrs. John Alden Prescott.

Eetter from Mrs. Mary Alden Pres scott to Mrs. John Alden Prescott. My Dear Leslie:
 I'm greatly surprised that you have not come home before this. ] thought of course the moment your father was out of danger you would hurry back to your husband and son
 Surely you know that wheS a woman marries her place is with her husband, especially when her ehild is also there.
 l cannot hold with these new fashioned ideas which allow a moth CT to leave and go gallivanting all over the country. Of course I know when you are with your father you have no responsibilities whatever; but you certainly have already had a good rest, and think you shoRld be here.
 John is evidently very much over worked. He looks worried. He has not been home 10 dinner for at least a week. He tells me he works every evening, and 1t would be foolish ESr him to come home just to eat. He told me this over the phone from .his office where I called him up yes terday. I had not seen him for over . week, and he had no time to talk to me from his office.
 Sarah, too, seems very peculiar about little Jack. She will not let him come to my apartment unless she comes with him. insist that he shall come here at least once a day, but Sarah is very arbitrary. She hangs around all the time. She will not even let him have q cooky when he comes to Grandma's. l told her when Jacks father was little there was cooly jar just behind the door, and all the children in the neighborhood were privileged 10 go ii it whenever they felt like eating, We made cookies every day in the week.
 By the way, your cook has left. Dear Priscilla Bradford is making ng coffee for me in the morning and we are going out to our lunches and dinners. Just because dear Priscilla offered to make some CBos- ton baked beans and brown bread which I have not had since came to be with you, your cook got very angry. She said she was not goiSs so have anyone poking around hel kitchen.
 Priscilla said she thought it was g good thing the cook left, as she never had seen such disorder and extravagance in her life. Why, she said you had three different pack. ages of sugar in your store closet She spoke of this to the cook, and she was very impudent to dear Prls- cllla--toid her that she had no busi- ness to come poking around youl place.

FABLES ON HEALTH
AVOIDING COLDS

Obey the ordinary rules of hygiene if you would avoid cold" recommended the Mann family doctor.
 Except where nasal defects exist there should be no trouble with re- curing colds if a person is living hygienically."
 Here are few points that might be written down and remembered in this connection:
 Most people realize that exposure and chilling arc likely to produce colds. This is due to a disturbance of circulation brought about through the nerve centers controlling skin circulation which are over-sensitive and feel an immediate reaction.

Manchester, N, H.. Sept. 4-Three Rhode Island cities-Woonsocket, Newport and Proyidence-were ob- jectives ahead today in the New England campaign tour of Senator Burton K. Wheeler of Montana, vice presidential nominee on the third ticket. A single address in Manchester last night concluded the New Hampshire bookings, and only one more day will be given to New England points when on Friday Senator Wheeler goes to Connecti- cut. Saturday he reaches New York city.
 Factory workers around d speak, CTS stand in park here listened to Senator Wheeler's Wednesday night discussion. For them he called the roll of his associates in the senate who have voted with the La Toilette forces, naming senators Brookhart Republican, IowaG Dill democrat, Washington, Shipstead (farmer- labor. Minn.). Johnson (farmer-labor. Minn.), Couzens Republican, Mich.), and ending with La Toilette. All of them owed their seats to the support of the farmers and the workers, who l,got them nominated and then got them elected" Senator Wheeler said. He called upon his New Hampshire listeners to follow the example set. incidentally telling them that he had not "seen any body in Washington or congress representing the farmers and work CTS of New Hampshire, but that he had "seen some representation Of the mill interests"

Now if the skin is put in good shape there is good chance of overcoming this. Bathing in cool water, with it's accompanying reac- tion, will help build up skin resist ance. Getting gradually accus- toned to gentle drafts also will help.

Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy and Mr. Tunky laughed when the selfish old man ran away through the woods, for you se2, the selfish old man had taken a lot Of Invislble things from Mir. Tunky's store and when MT. Tunky wrestlad him, inc invnsibe things broke iN his pockets and the selfish old mans clothes were spoiled, for the invisible things had been eggs.
 My! The selfish old man was an- gry, but it really and truly was all his own fault authough he tried to blame kind MT. Tunky for the trouble.
 Mir. Tunky though only laughed and asked the Raggedys inside his store to have an invisible bottle of soda and after they had that, he gave them some invisible ginger snaps and animal crackers,
 Anyone would think that the in visible things would not have any taste" Raggedy Ann said as she slipped the invisible straw. But this invisible soda is as good as any nave ever tasted!"
 "Oh! Yes, Mir. Tunky laughed. You sec Raggedy Ann. just as soon as ii touches your mouth, the in- visible soda is just the same as any other soda, and as it really and truly IS magic soda of course it is very, very nice"
 Two little girls came in the store while the Raggedys were eating the invisible cookies aud drinking the invisible soda.
 Their mother had sent them for three cents worth of bread and a penny's worth Of ham, so Mir, Tunky gave them three leaves of bread and a lot of ham and then gave them each large stick of candy. The candy is for you, because you arc such nice little girls and always help your mama"
 Mir. Tunky told them as he put the pennies in a piece of paper and ! handed it to one little girl, Tell your mama 10 save the pennies until ths next time" MT. Tunky said as he winked at Raggedy Ann and Rag ] gedy Andy,
 1 So the two nice little girls who liked to help their mamas thanked Mir.

Tunky and the Raggedys ran a, fast as they could to where the little girls were and got there just In time 10 see the selfish old man taking tho bread and ham away from them.

veneer of rigid training often had kept me from an exhibition Of rage similar to the one my little maid was staging. The same savage im- pulses had been mine, but my self control had been better.
 Katie had found her voice now, but luckily she was so chohed with anger that 1t did not carry to the little group upon she hillside. But what she lacked m volume she made up in vehemence,

 Either the shake CT my voice filled with the aE;hor.ty to which she always has yielded willing obe- dience, quieted her for the second.
 She stopped her twisting but there was something dlsquieting in the steady gaze she gave me. Then she spoke, not in the childish, half impish manner to which she has long accustomed me, but with a queer little air of sage authority, which evidently was the result of long thought.
 "Missis Graham" she said. you mighty smart lady about everything except letting your man know were he gets off. l don't know, mavbe dots vot ladies have to do. smile md look sweet und pretend dey dort see tings.

The Astonishing "Advice" Katie
 Gave Madge

Familiar with every vagary of my, temperamental little maid, l needed but one glance at Katie's advancing figure to tell me that something far more obsessing than one of her ordinary tantrums was aecelerating her hurrying footsteps. Fury, jealous, primitive, dangerous, was in every line of her.
 >/ Katherine touched my arm in warning even as l turned to her,
 That means hair pulling and face scratching" she said.
 T know it." I answered uneasily, starting preciptately down the path toward my little maid. Send Jim to me at once, please"
 As l turned my head to utter the request. l saw that 1t was superllu- ous. ranm katie's throat came an ear-splittinG scream of 'Jeem: You, ter to the little cayalcade above us.
 Mollie Fawcctt, unusued to rid ing, started at the scream, dropped her reins, and would have fallen had not Jim caught her swaying figure and assisted her to an up- right position again. Jerry Ticer swung around toward the sound, and gazed with mouth wide open at Katie's rushing progress, while Mar ion and Junior, hand in hand, stood as motionless as two little wooden images.
 But Jim evidently knew better than to finger At his pleasant task longer than was reCessary to re- store his fair charge to equilibrium. ] saw him touch Jerry Ticer upon the shoulder, and the next second, without a backward look toward Miss Fawcett, he was hurrying down the path toward us, not run hing, but in q loping walk that was very near the swifter pace.
 The whole episode had taken only h few seconds, but though I had paused to see the effect of Katie's scream, my little maid had not, and T had advanced only few steps to- |, ward her when she met me, and !with dodging motion attempted to pass me.

 h I knew better, however, than to Yet her go on in her irresponsible condition, and stepping directly in ther path, I took her firmly by the shoulders.
 What is the matter, Katie?" l asked coolly. Has anything hap pened at the house?"
 Without a word in answer, she attempted to twist cut of my grasp, and thankful indeed was I to have Katherine's slender but muscular arms reenforce mine, for my little maids face was white and contorted with fury, while her eyes were gilt tering wildly.
