LITTLE BENNY
BY LEE PAPE.

Last mite my sister Gla dis wasent
home for suppir, and we had apple
pudding for dizZert, and had helps
and then there was ony one help left,
me saying. Hay ma, If you wunt the
dish empty so it can be washed Ill eat
the last of the pudding for you.
It's very sweet and publick spirited
of you to offer your services, I'm sure,
but your sister Gladdis is very partial
to apple pudding and 1 think the leest
/ can do is to save her this little bit,
ma sed.
Well can I have 1t If Gladdis says
can? sed. and ma sed, Well In that
case yes, certeny, but that's remote
possibility.
Meening there wasent mulch chance
of it, and after suppir l was doing my
homework and l herd Gladdis opening
the frunt door coming in. and l ran
down, saying, Hello Gladdis, bet you

Balanced Meals.

A balanced meal provides elements
which balance" each other. The old
see-saw worked we'll when the weight
was properly balanced on both ends.
1t went up in the air and down again
with a nice swinging rhythm. II
Heavy Bill got on one end and Skinny
Jimmy on the other, the seesaw
wouldn't work.
Certain elements in food tend to
have an acid reaction in the body.
Other elements have an alkaline re-
action in the body, and may be said
to neutralize the acid elements and
have a sweetening effect in the body.
Many foods as nature grew them
are balanced. They contain the acid
and alkali elements in right proper
ton. The white Of an egg has an acid
reaction. The yolk has an alkali re-
action. The whole egg Is balanced
food. Whole grains are balanced.
The outer coverings of the grain are
alkali in reaction and balance the ef-
feet of the starch center. Meat with
the bones and blood as well as the
f1eshy part would be a balanced food,
but man only eats the fieshy part of
meat, and hence meat has a tendency
to cause an acid condition in the body.
A raw potato Is "a balanced IOOu.
1t has protein, starch or carbohydrate,
and mineral salts. A baked potato or
a potato cooked in it's jacket retains
the mineral salts which balance the
protein and the starch. A potato
peeled and then boiled loses it's min
eral salts in the cooking water and
becomes a food with a tendency to
cause an acid reaction.
Milk is balanced food. 1t has pro.
tein, carbohydrate, fat. the lime min
eral in large quantity and vitamins.

EAT AND BE HEALTHY
Dinah Days Daily Talks on Diet
The Right Food Is the Best Medicine

If the diet is made up Of too much
protein food tmeat, eggs, cheese, f1sh),
| or too starchy foods (macaroni, white
bread. pastry, fried potatoes. potatoes
peeled and then boiled, polished rice
and so on), without sufficient mineral
salts furnished in fresh fruits and
vegetables to balance the acid-forming
protein and starch foods, an acid con-
dition will take possession of the body.
A dinner consisting of meat. white
bread, fried potatoes. custard pie
would be an unbalanced meal. En-
tirely too much starch, with not
enough mineral salts. OF course, the
breakfast and lunch of that day might
help to counteract this dinner to some
extent, but more minerals in this meal
and more laxative elements added to
it would be safer. A dinner of baked
ham, sweet potatoes. spinach, plain
lettuce salad. whole wheat bread and
butter and baked apple would have
all the elements in it. Or a dinner of
broiled hamburger steak, baked white
potato, green peas. shredded cabbage,
whole wheat bread and butter and
prune whip would balance. Well made
pie. with "a fiaky and not a soggy
crust and a good fruit filing, could
be INDUCED in occasionally by adults
uTuer weight OF normal III weight, II
the rest of the dinner was not too
Starchy.
Many relish soup with their dinner
particularly in the Winter. In addi-
ton to a plain vegetable soup or a
vegetable consomme, the dinner could
consist of roast lamb, potatoes steamed
in their skins and then mashed, string
beans, apple and celery salad, whole
wheat bread and butter and stewed
figs.

questions should send selfaddressed. stamped

clothes may know a lot about style
but sometimes not very much about
child hygiene, and the glib young
woman who waits upon you at the
store probably has no children of her
own.
Every little girl should, if possible,
have some sort of best" outdoor en-
semble. And just at present for little
girls there is nothing smarter than
the hat, coat and leggings set made
of broadcloth trimmed with some one
of the furS that are suitable for chill
dren. The color may be fairly light
French blue. a darker, greener blue
that is most becoming to the little
girl with deep blue eyes, green, rose,
a soft brown or navy blue. You may
find it a little difficult to get a navy
blue coat this year. but they are un-
doubtedly smart.
Hats for little girls are very at
tractive. The little French berets,
though quite inexpensive, may be
worn even with the best coat, and
they are light in weight and warm.
There are little fiat tams made of fine
beaver fur-to go with beavertrim
med coats-and demure little round
cloth caps, fur edged and trimmed
with fur pompon, like the one shown.

To take out iron-rust marks
place the discolored part over

of salt in a dessertspoon OF
lemon juice, then dip the
feather end of a quill in this

To remove tar or grease
marks from the most delicate

it on the affected part until
the latter is quite clean.

to get away from him. She, had good
taste. She wouldn't think of enter
tanning Mark Sands in the apartment
that was paid for by her husband.
Not that there was anything particu-
larly wrong in it now that they had
both put their cards on the table, but
Helena wasn't that kind of woman.
He went out to lunch and returned
early with the idea of writing a long
letter to Nina. He started it, but after
few sentences, tore it up and aban-
doned the idea of writing to her.
Somehow that evening in the Garden
of the Gods seemed very remote from
him. He could look out of his window
and see the busy traffic of the boats
in the harbor. The roar of the city
drifted to him from the streets far be-
low. No, he wouldn't write. He
would wait a while until ne had his
affairs in hand. and then he would go
out to her. That would be best. It
would take some time to get the di.

wondered how they would manage il

He returned to the apartment that
night tired out with the work of the
day. In addition to that, his brain
had been turning the problem over
and over. He hadn't been able to get
away from 1t for more than a few
minutes at a time and he had slept
very poorly last night.
He opened the door with his key.

apartment was very cool.
During his absence Helena had had
f1owered chintz shades hung at the
windows of the living room These
were lowered, and the light coming
through them gave a porchlike effect
that was very soothing.
Everything was in perfect order and
very quiet, and as he hesitated, won
dering whether to call Helenas name,
Minnie appeared.
"Oh, Mr.. Henderson, it's you. Mrs.
Henderson left note for you. Just
moment, and I'll get It,"
She disappeared into the kitchenette
and returned with a square envelope.
AS John took it in his hand, the faint
perfume Helena used drifted up to
him, 1t was like mute reproach.
He went into the living room and
sat down in a comfortable chair to
read 1t. The message it contained
was very brief.

CHAPTER XXXVII.
Back to Work.

At the Office, trying to get things
adjusted once more after his trip,
John kept remembering Helena's last
words at the breakfast table that
morning and found himself resenting
them.
She had said, Neither of us could
help It,"

was concerned. He had tired of

Helena before their marriage. Of
course, he had done wrong in marry
ing her. 1t was certainly worse to
tell her after they had been married
for some time that he was in love
with another woman than 1t would
have been to tell her before any one
else had come into his life.
But Helena had loved him. She had
loved him at the time of their mar
riage. Had she fallen out of love
because of his Indifference? 1t had
been an effort to play the game, and
then, of course. she had the contrast
of Natalie's and Fred's marriage con-
stantly before her. Fred was absurd
w in love with Natalie. 1t wasn't
surprising that she had noticed the
difference.
He wondered when she would leave
the apartment. He felt that she was
forcing things in a very foolish way.
She kept talking about keeping every
Thing friendly, and yet she wanted to
rush off to Natalie's as though it were
dangerous to be in the same house
with him. She needn't worry. He had
no idea of forcing his attentions upon
her.
And then he remembered the fact
that she was in love with another
man, which somehow irritated him
