help as you have so many others. My
little girl IL years OF age was taken
sick last Spring. She spent eight
weeks In the hospital. We thought
she had pneumonia, but the doctor
said 1t was tuberculosis. He also said
that with good air and sunshine she
would pull through. She attends

diet of bodybuilding foods for one in

With the intelligent care which you

no doubt, get entirely well, again. You
are right in thinking, however, that.
there should be some special atten-
ton, paid to her food. In the first

girls height, therefore !, cannot tell
you exactly her normal weight. Per.
haps you already know this. She
should weigh approximately so pounds

10 per cent is counted safe by most

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Mrs. w. III. A. is sure her baby IS
developing a temper. She says: do
babies inherit tempers? Our baby
never sees any exhibitions of tempe
around her, but when she wants any
thing she throws her toys in all d.
rections and kicks and screams. How
can l prevent her from growing up
this way? Also, though II months old
she has only two teeth. She used TO
get cod liver oil when younger
Answer.--Babies do not inherit tenn
pers. but all human beings tend to re
act in a specific way toward certain
situations. Also children are tremen-
dously initiative. These facts, taken
in conjunction, make it almost fore
gone conclusion that some time on an
other a child will learn that kicking
and screaming will bring him what he
wants. Also he will have discovered
his father or his mother talking in
loud, sharp tones, and the baby's way
of talking in loud tones is to yell loud
ly. Our conduct is very easily inni
tated by children. and the way to have
nice-tempered children is to be nice
tempered around and with them. II
isn't anything that can be taught
them by being irritable ourselves and
demanding GROSSLY that they shall be
good tempered.
Now, am not accusing you or being
bad tempered. but there is little doubt
that if the baby found his yelling
brought no results and his toys stayed
on the floor where he flung them, SOON
he would hang onto his toys and plead
for what he wanted rather tha n
screech for il. Just good-tempered
indifference to his tantrums will make
him quit having them. What on earth
would even a baby get tantrumy for
if he found ii didn't get him bit of
good? He doesn't have a temper in
order to entertain himself, but be
cause it brings him what he wants.
Not giving him what he wants teaches
him to use different measures to get
results.
Mrs. j. w. M.-Your idea about
keeping the baby in place with a little
homemade harness is very good, II not
used to excess. 1t is good for babies
to sit and stand up when they are Old
enough to. and they should not be held
down for any length of time.
am so sorry, but I found your
lightly penciled writing impossible TO
decipher, so do not know if you asked
me a question or merely stated some
facts about your baby.

Money Value of Gift Unimportant

family combining funds and giving
the present jointly. Parents will de-
light in 1t just as much as il given
by one person alone. for it grants a
wish. If it so happens that small
things are wanted, then do not con.
slider them in terms of money, but
rather in fulfilled desires. Perhaps
you can give two or more such gifts.
This same method can be used when
or to relatives.
Intriguing Gifts.
Gifts that may or may not be in

highly, are the little nothings that
persons never consider buying for
themselves. 1t is amazing what an
assortment these gifts present. There
are accessories for ones self and for
ones home. there are jewelry, rings,
earrings, brooches, necklaces. neck.
wear, dainty boutonnieres, great geor-
gette flowers, now so popular and
which can be home made or bought:
fancy buckles for gowns or shoes,
ETC., not to mention beautifully en-
broidered towels or those with flet
inserts and the long list Of handmade
articles that a homemaker is always
cherishing the hope that she will have
time to do. In many such instances
time and not money Is the barrier to
possession. and you may be able to
grant a long-w1shed-for desire just by
knowing what Is wanted and not con-
sidering it in relation to the money it
costs.

1t seems to me that it would be
advisable for you first of. all to have
a very clear idea Of just what the
little girls normal diet, should be-
that Is. when she Is in perfect health.
Then all you have to do is to make
the necessary changes for the purpose
OF helping her build UP. well child
Of her age should have general daily
diet something like this: For break
tast, a good-sized orange or one-half a
grapefruit with two-thirds Of a cup Of
one OF the dried. ready. prepared cereals
such as rice, wheat, and so on. With
the cereal should go one-quarter OF
cup OF top milk or thin cream with
three-quarters Of cup of milk to
drink with two slices of buttered toast.
Dinner should have small serv.
ing Of freshly broiled round steak
Or small meat cake broiled, with
baked white or sweet potato, two
slices of bread and butter. two-thirds
OF a cup OF a creamed vegetable, such
as spinach or carrots or peas, and a
dessert of three!quarters of a cup of
custard pudding. with either tapioca
rice or bread as the basis, and small
cup Of milk to drink
The evening meal might begin. with
three-quarters Of a cup~o cream of
OF graham bread and butter, about
two.thirds Of a cup of stewed fruit and
two or three good-sized ginger cookies
or a piece of molasses cake or sponge
cake. - 49,,

remind you that the modern way of
feeding Is not to stuff" the patient or
one who Is suspected of having the
disease. This old-time stufflng process
is very apt to result in indigestion.
So ] should advise you to take the
diet which I have given you as the
basis, increasing the portions slightly
and adding perhaps another cup Of
milk with crackers. say. at 10 o'clock,
and another cup Of milk or cocoa in
the middle OF the afternoon.
This modern method Is based on the
theory that indigestion caused by
overfeeding viii do more harm than
good. The idea Is to keep the diet
perfectly balanced and, with this In

The term container is rather broad
| In It's significance. Thought OF in
connection with food, the mind usual

| tanning crackers, boxes Of confec-
tionery, jars of jam and so on. Even
| Nature seems to be interested in
food containers, for she provides for
| fruits and vegetables containers OF
| the most efficiently protective nature
possible. AS DIR. Mendel Of Yale Uni
versity has frequently pointed out.
the container or skin of the banana
is literally germproof. In the case
| OF practically all fruits and vege
tables the skin or outer covering Is a
great help in preserving the whole
someness OF the pulp.
| SO keen has been the interest from
| time to time in artificial containers
| for foods that we have arguments,
pro and con. for packaged foods and
| non-packaged foods. This Is a plea
for the housekeeper to inform her.
| self in the matter Of what is being
done for the protection Of our food
supply.
One illustration Of the activity Of
| experts in the food field along this
| line is found In the work that has
| recently been done at Mellon Insti
tute OF Industrial Research.
\ AZ tIle INSTITUTE tn0y nave WnaI
they call a food container fellowship.
! They have developed some interest

edible substitute for the animal cas-.
! ings which have for so long a time
| been used in making sausages. AS is
generally known, link sausages are
| prepared in castings made from the
| small fntestines Of sheep and hog.
While these castings are treated by
| a number of processes and may be
called approximately clean, there can
be no doubt that most Of US would
prefer a synthetic substitute.
AS one result of the work the ma
terial found most satisfactory was
high-grade type of purified cotton

| joy the cellulose castings, and the
sausage manufacturer himself will find
them practical. There is no doubt, as
pointed out by DR.. William r. Hen.
derson and Harold e. Dietrich OF the
Mellon Institute, that the average
consumer will welcome the castings
because Of their general hygienic
character.
This is but one example of the type
Of work being carried on by devoted

CHAPTER XII.
A Night Message.

That night when John returned
home there was a special delivery let
ter waiting for him. OF course. II was
from Nina. She wanted to know when
he was returning to Denver. She told
him Of the good times they were hav-
ing, and, although she said nothing
particularly definite, there was an un'
dercurrent Of expectancy in the letter.
It was as. If he had pledged himself in
some way, and, after all. he had. He
had kissed her and told her that he
cared. OF course. there were men
who thought nothing of kiss in the
moonlight, but he did. He considered
that it stood for promise, which
meant. OF course, that he would return
to Denver. explain things to Nina and
then he and Helena would talk over
the matter Of the divorce.
He hated the idea of it. Not that
he didn't want to be free Of Helena,
but because of the sordidness of drag
ging ones private affairs through the
courts. OF course, he deserved it in
a way. He shouldn't have married
Helena In the first place. He won-
dered If Mrs. Ford and Natalie and
Dorrie would still be friendly with
him. He doubhted very much il Hell
ena would, although her attitude up
to this time had been charming.
He sent a wire to Nina telling her
that he would return as soon as he
could arrange his affairs, and then for
q few days he was very busy in the
Office. Because he worked so hard all
day his nerves were tense at night
and he wanted to play, but there never
seemed anything for him to do. His
life was comfortable. Minnie attended
meticulously to his needs. When he
returned to the apartment at night
there was a hot dinner waiting for
him. The rooms were cool and those
lowered shades Helena had bought
We're really lovely.
He wondered II Nina would like
this place, because he had grown very
fond OF 1t. OF course, they would
