Mrs. A. r. X. writes: II am worried
about my 6-year-old boy. He Is very
restless nights ard talks and shouts

during the day. He weighs nearly 45
pounds and is very thin. but he has
no appetite. What would YOU sug'

should pay a lot Of attention to
what he is getting to eat, and would
see that he ate three good meals a
day which are something like this in
content: Toast, cereal. stewed fruit. or
orange or grapefruit. and cocoa for
breakfast II he comes home from
school at noon give him one hot dish

school in the afternoon give him an

bread and jelly and make him lie

dinner. A hot dinner Of potato. meat,
one green vegetable, bread and butter

half hour after his dinner he should
go to bed. II you find this heavy meal
at night still makes for restlessness.

the child more to eat at the noon

These rest periods seem trivial. but
they act like magic in making q child

his food
Mrs. G.. L.: The kernel back Of the
baby's ear is an enlarged lymph
gland. Do nothing about 1t unless 1t
becomes swollen and sore. Then take
the child to a doctor and follow his
advice
Mrs. G. F. D.: The child should be
examined by a physician. Perhaps
more water daily will do away with
the puffiness, but this is hardly mat.

On this evening in particular she
and Lucien were going on to the
theater. Natalie felt exhilarated, in
high spirits. as though something gor.
geous were about to happen to her,
and the gayety of her youthful enthu-
siasm drew Lucien Bartlett like a
magnet.
He was already more than half in
love with her. but something. some in
herent fineness In his nature, had
kept him this far from attempting
any loev making. There were times
when in spite of her fiippancy, her
pert naughtiness. she seemed very
young, hardly more than a little girl.
Tonight, however, there was some
thing different about her, there was
a challenge in her manner. 1t was
almost as If she had suddenly grown
up and wanted to make him aware
of the fact.
OF course Natalie had flirted before.
and she had been kissed, too. many
times. But she had never before felt
quite as she did tonight, possessed as
she was by a restlessness, a feverish
excitement that she could not under
stand. Was 1t because she cared too
much for Lucien Bartlett? Was that
the reason? And at that thought she
turned to look at him.
His rather strong features were out.

She loved his face. 1t was so power

How to Get the Bile Out.

A cholagogue, according to Webster,
is an agent which promotes the dis
charge of bile from the system.
There 1t is again-the system.
What the Internal region is the sys-
tenn? Theodore Roosevelt felt great
contempt for weasel words, words
which he said suck the meaning out
of what a man Is saying. Now sys.
tenn in itself Is an honest, straight
forward word. but in the context Web
ster gives 1t the word means anything
you like. 1t implies, IL you like. that
bile Is rather bad thing which must
be gotten out of the body somehow.
In truth. bile is u secretion which
serves good use In digestion.
1t is highly improbable that the
liver ever produces too much bile, an
excess Of the quantity required for
normal intestinal digestion. The
quaint popular fancy, which some
that when ones liver forms too much
bile one suffers a bilious attack"
is not to be seriously considered. 1t
may have been a good general work.
ing principle in the good old days Of
Spring tonics and blood purifiers.
On the other hand, II you insist
biliousness does happen, and that cal
omel and other sovereign remedies do
make the liver produce more bile, how
do you reconcile the condition with
the treatment? If you have too much
bile already isn't 1t unwise to mako
the liver produce still more?
Well, alright then, have IL the
other way Your bilious condition is
due to insufficient production of bile.
Such functional deficiency on the
part of the liver is conceivable and
probably does happen sometimes.

called 'biliousness." Still. as physi-
ology teaches. neither calomel nor any
other old reliable "cholagogue" really
does stimulate the liver or induce an

1t Is second nature" The implication
is. of course, that it is an attribute

John G.. B.--When you use the hair

the tonic into the scalp along the

1t also means a great deai Of massage.
Most men soak their heads with a
tonic and then ruflle up their hair with
their fingers and think they have
given their scalps all the attention
that they need. Aim to set the blood
circulating vigorously over your
scalp and keep at the massage until
you feel a warm glow. and grasp

CHAPTER XVI.
Natalie and Lucien.

In spite of the fact that Natalie
was very modern girl, with all the
modern tendencies, she was. for all
that. Young and immature. Like most
girls. she employed fiippancy and
pertness TO disguise her real lack OF
self-a ssurance. She had discovered
that a lack of knowledge could be
hidden by assuming that she knew
everything. 1t worked best of all
with older people. who retaliated by
calling modern girls callous and hard.
boiled, lacking i'll emotion, and with
words on their lips that no nice girl
should use.
In reality, Natalie was just a very
young girl. She did not understand
half the things she prattled about in
her worldly little way, bur she talked
that way because the other girls did.
and not to be one of the crowd would
OStra iZe her.
And so she swallowed her compunc-
tions at things she saw and didn't
like, as she had for instance, at the
Banning house party.
She had come upon Mabel Banning
held tightly in a mans arms, and that
man was not her husband. Mabel had
been married only six months, and
Natalie was genuinely shocked.
OF course she had pretended to take
it all as a matter of course, but in
reality the thing had gone deep into
her subconscious mind. That was why
she had almost burted it out to Mar
tha, and had stopped herself just In
time.
But things like that made their i'm.
preston on Natalie, and such things
we're happening all the while. Small
wonder. then. that she thought moth
ing Of encouraging Lucien Bartlett.
He amused her, she liked him very
much. Then why not be friends with
him? The fact that he was married
made no difference. Even her own
mother had men friends, and certain
ly no one could be more circumspect
than Martha.
1t was strangely enough the same
kind of reasoning that Martha had

will really induce an increased secre
ton or flow of bile for little while.
and that Is bile itself or the acids or
salts obtained from OK bile.
The discharge of bile from the liver
into the intestine is hindered by any
thing which narrows or obstructs the
bile ducts or tends to render the bile
thicker. The flow is increased OF
facilitated by vigorous muscular exer-
else, increased circulation and any
thing which tends to make the bile
thinner or more watery. These fac
tors are of no practical Importance
except perhaps in their relation TO

This is a new flag, established by
article of tho constitution of the
Republic of Austria. October 81, 1921,
but the story which fixed the stripes
as Austria's emblem dates from the
third crusade in 1893. During bat
tie with the Saracens that year Duke
Leopold ii of Austria and his brother
lost all their banners. Leopold took
his white scarf or sash and holding its
center tightly in his hand, dipped the
cloth in the blood of the battlefield.
The part he held SO closely in his
hand remained white. He then used
the sash as q banner inscribed, Aus
tria is the servant of Jesus Christ"
The courage Of his followers was re.
newed and the Saracens routed. AS
a token of this victory, the council OF
mobiles gave Leopold for coat Of arms
n red shield divided by 4 ''fess" or
sash Of white.
This was the same Leopold who put
King Richard the Lion Hearted in
prison in retaliation for a previous in.
suit to the Austrian's banner. Rich
ard would not share the honor Of TAX
ing the fortress of Acre with any Of
The crusaders except Philip Of France,
and tore Leopold's banner from the
walls, trampling it under foot.

Flag of the Republic of Austria.

In modern times the red and white
stripes formed the field Of the Austro-
Hungarian ensign, and of Austria's
half Of the dual monarchy's merchant
flag. After the separation Of the two
kingdoms the Austrian republic re-
tanned the red and white stripes of
TIE merchant flag The yellow and
black of the old imperial flags were
discarded, as we'll as the double headed
eagle OF the coat.ofarmS. This eagle
wore an imperial crown and carried
In one claw a sword and scepter and
in the other the orb which denoted
sovereignty.
The present coat-of arms of the Re-
public of Austria, which may be seen
over the doorway of the legation, 1851
Wyoming avenue, also displays an
eagle, but 1t has only one head. It's
crown is called mural" crown,
which symbolizes civic institutions
rather than monarchical. and its claws
hold the emblems Of industry. golden
hammer and q sickle. Upon the
eagles breast is small shield charged
with the colors of the flag.
It was upon November ~, 1918, that
the Provisional National Assembly de-
clared a republic of Austria. This is
ono of the days upon which the flag
Is displayed, and in common with the
flags Of other nations, it is also dis
played upon the principal holidays OF
the United States.
