something snapped in Rosalind that
Night, something that changed her
forever from the bright, daring girl
she had been to rather disilluSioned
woman. She felt that as long as she
lived she would never forget the things
Ntcky had said to her. the things he
had implied, his coarseness, his sug-
gestive insolence. But the thing that
would make her remember was the
Rart she had played in her relation
ship with him. It was true that she
had contemplated marrying him for
Ills money. but she had truly believed
that he cared for her, that he re-
spected her. Tonight she had learned
differently.
Nicky Blake wanted her. but he did
not respect her because il wasn't in
his nature to respect any woman. She
knew him now for what he really
was, and she shivered when she
thought that if he had been kind, If
he had treated her considerably, if
he had asked her to be his wife in a
Ahurnble way, she might have con-
scented.

Food and the Arteries.

Physicians still entertain the theory
that high protein diet places an ex-
traordinary strain on the kidneys,
which organs eliminate the greater
part of the by-products of protein
metabolism. There may be some
ground for this theory; it remains to
be proved. There Is little or no evt-
dence to support the theory that an
excess of protein food-such as meat.
egges or cheese-causes or predisposes
to hardening of the arteries, high
blood pressure or other cardiovascular
disturbances There is better ground
to assume that an excess of carbohy-
drates tstarChes and Sugars) favorS
the development of heart and artery
disease.
Particularly derogatory TO meat,
most of the arguments of medical and
near-medical authorities seem inspired
by that vein of vegetarianisIn which
is In all of us and which stands out
prominently in the faddists or fanat-
les who look upon vegetarianism as
a panacea Unfortunately, the pro-
tagonists and followers Of this fad
have received considerable moral sup
port from bacteriologists, physiolo-
gists and professedly educated dieti-
tians, who, having cleaned few
crumbs of knowledge of germ life, dt-
gestive functions or foods, develop
delusions of omniscience and presume
to tell the world about pathology.
Some one sent me clipping of a
newspaper contribution on colds
whatever they may be-by univer-
sity professor who has the degrees of
A NJ. and Phi. D. The professor
blithely told the world that the exces-
sive protein diet of the American
people is factor in the great preva-
lence of what the professor calls
common colds" and he clinched the
matter by explaining that the meat
and other protein food material putre-
fies in the intestines, from the action
of the germs of putrefaction, and the
poisonous substances formed by the
putrefaction are absorbed into the
blood, causing fatigue and so on, and
the fatigue or malaise or mean feeling,
or whatever it may be that the hypo-
thetical 'poisons" produce, just natur-
ally lowers the victims resistance ~

or was it that / was In a great hurry?
1T doesn't matter-I bought a pair of
cheap shears.
They worked all right for a little
while, but then became dull. and |
sent them out to be sharpened
Imagine my Chagrin when the bill
came in. 1t had cost me as much to
have those shears resharpened as |
had paid for them in the first place.
OF course, 1t costs just as much to
get good shears resharpened as poor
ones, but it isn't required nearly so
often. When they are in shape they
give immensely more satisfaction
Although there are literally hun
dreds of different makes OF shears and
scissors, they all group themselves
rather naturally into four classes or
grades. These are cast iron, cast
steel, forged steel, and steel laid.
The cast iron and cast steel are
"molded" shears. That is, the iron
or steel from which they are made is
poured when hot into 81 pattern for
each of the blades, and when cool they
are riVited together. Neither one of
these can be called good quality. They
are suitable for paper cutting, and
for very small children, but that is
about all. The steel is somewhat
better than the iron, but either one
breaks easily when dropped or If
heated or cooled very suddenly.

Your Baby and Mine

Temporary Trouble.

Mrs. Z. 3. O'G. writes: Il have
been following your column with
interest and would now like informa
ton about my baby of II months OF
age. He weighs % pounds and has
been walking since he was nine
months old. His legs are very thin
and somewhat bowed and they dc
not seem to be strengthening. He
gets three meals a day; eight ounces
Of milk at o'clock; fruit juices
eight ounces of milk and three table
spoons Of cereal at 10 O'Clock; -four
ounces of beef soup; bread crumbs
and coddled egg at 2; and oatmea

He is very wakeful from $50 until II
and keeps crying out and is restless
moving constantly. Is good during
the day, but restless at night. He has
always been constipated, necessitating
a suppository practically every day de
spite plenty of fruit juice. What car
be done to help his bowed legs? Is
this a form of ricketS?'

Bowed legs are almost always in

right diet are the aids for this condi.
ton. Give the child cod liver oil
three times a day, beginning with
five drops and increasing one drop a

the only friend she had. Then she
had treated Jack Armstrong scorn-
fully. Instead OF being kind, she had
laughed at him for presuming to make
love to her. Fate had retaliated by
giving Jack to Madeline, and not only
that, but giving him money as well.
But her biggest mistake had been
her job at the Club Tivoli. That, of
course, had led to all the rest. She
had thought it would be wonderful to
have press notices in the papers, to
have song act Of her own, to be
the petted darling Of one of the most
exclusive night clubs in the city. And
what had it brought her?
Because of her very success people
judged her. They did not believe that
she had landed where she was on tai
ent alone. They believed that she
must have sacrificed ideals to have
achieved success. They thought be-
cause she worked in a carabet that
she was light, a woman not to be
taken seriously. 1t wasn't enough
that she had been careful, that she
had never taken too much to drink,
in fact had rarely touched anything
1t wasn't enough that she had always
tried to be dignified- She belonged to
the Broadway night life and was
judged accordingly. She had played
with pitch and, although her hands
We're clean, she was contaminated
The thought Of Alvin flashed across
her mind. but the feeling she had en-
tertained for him was dead in her
breast. He had always been kind, con
siderate, charming, but he. too, had
probably thought of her as some one
not TO be taken seriously. He had
played with her, amused himself with
her. but that was ALL
And then, strangely enough, she
thought of Allen Norris. She remem.
bered the night she had first seen
him, and had disliked him thoroughly
She remembered his dark face, his
piercing eyes under the heavy brows
the strong almost cruel lines of his
mouth and jaw. She remembered her
resentment toward him when he had
lectured her. She had been piaued
because he had not seemed interested
in her as women. Tonight he loomed
up as the only real men she had ever
met, save, perhaps, Jack Armstrong
And yet she knew in her heart OF
hearts that Allen Norris despised her
