Gaining and Losing a Day.

AS the world is round, the point
where West meets East. and where
one day begins and another ends
could arbitrarily be agreed upon as
existing anywhere along some line
between the poles. The degree of
longitude o. in Europe having been
arbitrarily agreed upon, the longitude
18O' on the opposite side of the earth
is the point where an earth day ends
and begins. This lies in mid-Pacific,
and when one travels to Japan from
America and crosses this line, one
instantly gains a day. no matter what
O'Clock it is. On this side of the line
1t may be April 80, but on the other
1t is May /. Coming back. you lose
day out of your life. You pass
from May 1. back into April 80.
Now what do you know about that?

Your Baby and Mine

When a baby of I months begins
new foods it is possible that there
NAV be some trouble unless the fol-
lowing warnings are kept in MIND.
New foods, especially vegetables and
fruits. are laxative in tendency, and II
the child is given full feeding of any
vegetable, there is bound to be un-
usual bowel activity.
All vegetable should be sieved so
finely that there cannot possibly he
large chunks. This is the first essen
tial. Vegetables contain indigestible
cellulose, this very properly being re-
sponsible for their ability to stimulate
bowel action. But babies have diff.
Guilty with this element. and 1t is
better to put all vegetables through a
fine wire sieve. so that the cellulose
will be strained out. Just MASKING a
vegetable does not do this, and so

baby's vegetable before giving 1t to

Very few foods will cause any real

rules and does not rush into feeding

that no such precautions have been

an apology for it.
The mother of two grownup daugh-
ters, both of whom sacrificed their
beautiful hair to the fad some time
ago, shed tears over the thing when
the girls decided on 1t, and finally
succumbed and had her own hair
hobbed. She declares she decided on
, it not for style but merely for the
convenience and comfort of short
! hair. But she makes the point that
girls and women will never return to
long trailing skirts. long troublesome
hair or stiff. uncomfortable corsets,
now that they have learned they can
dispense with such things. And who
except a veritable old fogy could wish

Even a doctor can't bury his mis-
takes when he makes 'em in print.
1t behooves me as much as 1t en-
harnesses me to acknowledge two mis-
takes I have made in nay teachings.
but never hesitate to pounce upon
and false teaching committed by
other health authorities and so it is
only fair to admit that l have made
mistakes.
The first mistake I now acknowl
edge was the idea l endeavored to
promulgate that it Is reprehensibie
for a woman or girl to have her hair
cut. When this fad or fashion came
along confess l took a veritable old
fogy view Of it and said everything
I could to make the cutting or bob
hing Of a womanss hair seem mutila-
tory and depraved. Now that was
wrong: 1t was an unrea SOnable attl-
tude and a narrow point of view.

I fear IL has impaired the confidence
Of some readers in my teachings and
advice.
Although I still hate to see wom-

other hand it never stops or dimin-

The other mistake l wish to ac-
knowledge was the utterance of an
opinion against the playing of public
basket ball contests by schoolgirls.
In reply to a query about that l
strongly disapproved of such con.
tests. although I approved Of basket
ball as a game for girls, and I in
timated that public contests of that
sort tended to make the girl players

! the idea that such a state of things
| can't he helped. The demands of
! growing have eaten the youngsters
strength. They need a tonic. They
! need the advice of a thoroughly com
petent physician. They need nourish-
ing food suited to help nature get

r. D.-I have dinner in early after
noon and go to bed ,sther late and
| cannot sleep unless I eat something
before retiring. But I am told eat
ing bef,re bedtime is had. Answer
I '. IS quite true that an empty stom-
ach may cause sleeplessness. There
is no harm in a light meal before
going to bed. Try a cup of broth, a
glass of warm milk, a cup of cocoa
or a little weak tea combined with a
biscuit or piece of toast.
Workman have had trouble with
my stomach lately. Am in good

pains in my stomach. ! eat cold
lunch daily at noon, which l bring

better? Answer--As you sign your
self "Workman," l assume that you
do mechanical work of some sort and
then eat your lunch from basket or
parcel which you bring from home.
l often see workmen eating lunch
| at noon without having carefully
cleansed their hands. You cannot ex-
pect to handle the food you bring for
lunch with unwashed hands and
escape occasional Infection. Try
thoroughly cleansing the hands be
fore YOU eat. That Is more likely ia

CHAPTER XVI.
The Homecoming.

jeans heart was beating fast as
Mertons car drew up before the
house. The lights downstairs were
out. not even the one in the hall had
been left burning. But upstairs in
her room there was a light. and she
had an idea that Mira. Morgan was
still up, although her windows were
at the back of the house.
Merton helped her out and together
| they walked up the path to the house.
They stood for a moment in the
shadow of the veranda, and Jean
| held out her hand.
I'm afraid it wouldn't be ethical to
ask you to come in. every ones gone
to bed. But it's been like old times
to see you tonight. Merton. I've had
| such a good time"
| Merton held her fingers for a mo-
ment. There was something wistful
| in the words she had spoken. and he
had sudden impulse to ask her II
she were happy. He changed his
! mind, however, as he stood there
looking at her. Jean was proud. she
would resent any interference. Prob
| ably she and Con had quarreled over
some fancied grievance. and it was no
wonder, with that awful old woman
| poking her fingers into their affairs.
No man had a right to ask his wife
| to live with his mother; it wasn't fair
to either woman.
Its been great to see you" he said
heartily. squeezing her fingers in a
| tight grip. Then he was stridinC
down the path toward his car, and
Jean was unlocking the, front door
with fingers that were not quite
steady.
She closed the door softly, and at
the same moment the light went on
| in the hall. Con stood there staring
! at her. and as lean gazed up into his
| face she saw resemblance to his
mother that she had never noticed
| before His mouth was drawn into
straight line, there was no slightest
vestiye of tenderness in his eyes.
| "You were waiting for me?' Jean
suggested. But why was it neces-
| sary TO turn out the lights?"
"Where have you been?" he re-
! torted. ignoring her question. His
voice was harsh. grating. Con had
never before spoken to her like this,
and the fact cut across her conscious
ness like a whip. In a flash her small
| head went back on her shoulders, her

Jean said very evenly. II can draw
only one deduction from that, Con-
, rad"
II suppose you don't deny IT,"
There was no reason why should.
even if you hadn't spied on me-" Her
| voice was very cold and that strange
hardness was once more settling
it seemed to her that this simply
couldn't be real. She and Con could't
be actually quarreling, hurting each
other with remarks that never should
have been spoken.
Where have you been?" Con
! asked the question once more, and
this time his tone was less belligerent.
AT the Oranges" Jean returned.
Merton brought me home"
AS she spoke she turned away from
! him and began to climb the stairs.
She had almost reached the top when
she heard q movement in the upper
| hall, followed by the almost noiseless
| closing of a door. jeans sense of
| hearing was very acute or she
wouldn't have heard the sound at all.
In the darkness her lips curved into
Il bitter smile.
SO Mrs. Morgan had been listening
over the banisters. Perhaps it had
been at her suggestion that Con had
spied on her. for certainly it wasn't
| like him to do thing like that. To
have him doubt her hurt Jean more
than anything he could have done to
her. In that moment she felt as If
the foundations of their happiness
were crumbling.

TEMPLE OF OSIRIS
TO BE EXCAVATED

NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-The work
undertaken for the winters season by
the Egypt Exploration Society differs
IN object from that of the two proceed
ing years, but is, IL possible, of wider
interest. IT has been decided to con-
tinue the operations Of 1911-12 and to
to complete, if means allow, the ex-
ploration of the great Osireion at
Abydos. This is, so far, an unique
monument and it is impossible to say
what additions to our knowledge may
be made by its complete uncovering,
knowledge not only Of historic matters,
but, what is of greater interest to
many, Of the development of funda-
mental religious rites. For it is gener-
ally held that this building, partly if
not wholly subterranean, was designed
for the cult of Crisis, most probably
for his mystery rites on which many
scholars believe the Eleusinian rites to
have been founded, while others see in
their later forms direct influence of
certain Christian ceremonies.
