Determines which naturally follow

Prevention is more important
than cure, because even after rcCov-
cry from the disease the child is
often afflicted with doformities
which should never have been al
lowed to develop.
In order 10 prevent q disease You
must know It's cause. and the cause
Of ricketts, is n combination Of de-
fcctive diet and unhygicnic sur

Lillian Proceeds 10 forcstall
n Scandal

The eyes OF the little rector Of
Tyndan and those of Lee Chow
looked helpleSsly at me, following
Hugh Grantland's question, But It
was not lust then in my power to
speak. Just how much Hugh had
heard or understood Of his step
mothers cruel insinuations con-
corning our friendship, did not
know, but the uncertainty made il
impossible for me to face him with
an answer TO his question, and |
remained misprably silent white
Hugh's teNersh eyes Travelled
swiftly from one face to another Of
the group gathered around him.
II was Lillian who finally came
to the rescue. She had kept in the
background after preparing his I'M
provised couch, but she now came
forward and laid her hand upon
his arm.
Listen to me, Hugh Granrland."
she said authoritatively. Your
stepmother has said a number Of
things, drawing on her Imagination
wildly in the process. What her
game is we don't know yet, but
we're going to find out. More than
anything else, however, YOU wish
to guard Madgc from any harm.
don't you?"
He looked at her steadily. You
"Then will you believe me when
! say that the best way you can
help Is for you to go TO sleep now.
You have had too much OF a shock
to be helpful until you have rested.
Lee Chow will stay here with you
and later today we will have a long
talk. Will you leave your questions
until them"
Yes" he said simply and closed
