was not quite so tall as he. She
looked exactly like all the rest. When
they returned to their table, she
asked if he had brought anything to
drink. And to his amazement. for the
first time in his life, he realized that
he had forgotten to fill his flask and
put it in his pocket.
He beckoned the head waiter and
ordered whisky. Eleanor's face, that
had worn frown dimpled once more.
When at o'clock he finally called
for his check. the bill was $28. Not
that he minded the money, but he
hadn't enjoyed the evening.
1t wasn't that he didn't like the
night life of New York-once in a
while, but every night-every night
it was stupid.
And then, anonymously, he thought
of Jill. He couldn't imagine her face
wearing the half-bored, half-sensuous
look that most of the women wore in
place of this kind.
He remembered the steady look of
her eyes, the firm little mouth that
curled up at the corners. Her skin
had freshness, too, certain velvety
look. Funny that he should think OF
these things now.
I1c paul Ills CIltCh anu was wait
ing for the change. Eleanor had
drawn her cloak about her. She looked
SNUG, self-satisfied. A good-looking
man passed and caught her eye. She
didn't exactly respond, but Tony
fancied he saw her lashes CULVER,
and a moment later she laughed self
consciously.
On the way home she taxed him
with being changed.
you used to be so amusing, Tony.
He didn't deny the accusation.

What a pity" Eleanor returned
You'll, be getting married and settling

II hope I didn't bore you tonight

PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE
BY WILLIAM BRADY, M. ID.

I One practical point is not covered
by the tourists first aid kit instruc
tions, The best method of disinfect
| ing questionable water for drinking
purpose is the hypochlorite Of lime
method. Another method that has
the approval Of the Medical Corps OF
the Army consists in placing one
drop Of tincture Of iodine (now spelled
iodin) in a quart bottle of the water,
shaking it up and letting it stand Is
minutes. This is sufficient to kill
any typhoid or dysentery germs that
may be in the water. This amount
of iodin is insufficient to spoil the
taste of the water, and for emergen
cies there can be no objection to TAX
ing a drop of iodin.
This year. perhaps more than ever
| before, it is of real importance fol
travellers and tourists to be i'm
munized against typhoid fever before
starting off. The recent floods. ant
| the disorganization of home life
caused by such disaster make the
chance of typhoid fever greater. Many
residents of flooded districts will seek
employment far from home in vaca
| ton resorts, and this will necessarily
mean the uncovering Of not a few
| typhoid carriers.
The Canadian department Of health
gives these directions for disinfect
ing water with hypochlorite of lime
Make stock solution Of three Level
teaspoonfuls Of hypochlorite of lime
in a quart of water. Add one tea
spoonful of this stock solution to a
gallon Of the drinking water and lei
stand for 20 minutes before drinking
Hypochlorite of lime (calcium) Is
more familiar under the name OF
Chloride of lime" 1t must be fresh
If the chlorinated lime gives off a
| very pungent odor Of chlorin it is
| probably stale and useless for disin
| fection; the chlorin odor should be
mild. It should be kept in air tight
receptacles, and used soon after open
| ing the can.

Your Baby and Mine
Ry MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
Child Discipline.

A reader says: II was much In
terested in the letter of Mrs. b. l.. H.
the English mother. I Thoroughly
agree with her letter in every way
and with her methods of child train
ing, I also fully realize the truth or
her statement that her child is light
hearted, happy and contented. for the
wisely disciplined child is always so.
1t Is the child who thinks ne can
gain something and get his own way
by so doing who is always winning
and crying and going into tantrums
and who is unsatisfied, unhappy ana
making every one else miserable.
II have trained in kindergarten
and taught in private school in Eng
land and had kindergarten of my
own in California, and for the last
~ wears I have taken care of dozens
of children. ranging in ages from
weeks to Is years, meeting with every
type of child of various dispositions
and temperaments. l have wonder
full success with seemingly unman.
ageable children. My mo- also
means no and yes-yest, unless 1
know I was mistaken, and then / al
ways explain to the child that / was
mistaken. never let child think
that he gets his way because he has
fused or cried or argued. and it is
not long before a child realizes that
it is quite useless and a waste of
time.
II once had charge of two children
whose mother had not disciplined
them, and one kept asking for some
thing to which 1 had already said no.
I paid no attention, but the little girl
stamped her foot on the floor and said:
Brother don't you know when auntie
says no she means no, what are you
asking again for?'
"a child will forget the 90 times you
| make him obey and remember the
once you didn't, always hoping and
taking chance that it will happen
again. 1t is well to realize that one
must govern oneself before one can
govern. I think well before saying
yes or no, and If l am not sure 1 say
so and make no promises"
Answer-All the ideas expressed in
this letter are held by the best discip-
Librarians, but I still wish some one
would, from personal experience, tell
what she does when the child dis
obeys. These are splendid ideas, but
not methods. 1t is all right to say
when l say no I mean no." but what
is done when the child goes ahead and
does what has been forbidden? That
problem takes discipline and all the
writer's who have expressed their ideas
have merely said what their methods
Of child training were, but never men.
toned what they did when these
methods didn't work. This is the i'm
portant matter, as all persons agree on
what is right to do. I should be in
terested to hear what these writer's do
about disobedience. incidentally, the
English mother who was invited to
write again and explain her methods
more specifically has never answered
the invitation.

Perils of Vacation.

Vacation is attended with good
many perils that scarcely concern
those who remain at their usual work
or play at home. First there is the
chance of accidents in travelling.
Next there is the possibility of infec-
ton with disease to which one may
be exposed in strange contacts; for
instance, the known or unknown ty-
phoid carrier who handles food. Then
there is the chance of getting sun
burned, drowned, poisoned by ivy.
bitten by venomous snake or
speared by vicious mosquitoes. FL
nally, lot Of poor goofs return from
their annual vacation veritable wrecks
and less fit for work than they were
before they threw down the job. They
have plunged into the most strenuous
physical activities-or activities which
are at least too strenuous for f1abby
foik-and by attempting too much
have only succeeded in straining the
heart. A sedentary man or woman
about to have a vacation thrust upon
him or her should go at the unwonted
life gently and get into the stride by
easy stages; in fact, such a person
should begin few weeks before va
cation to train for it, and there is no
better training than daily walking
or evening walking.
For vacationists planning long
tours by automobile or afoot or by
train or boat, it is well to provide a
simple first aid or emergency outfit,
something that will not require more
than half a baggage car to carry it.
I have the complete description and
directions for the use of such kit,
which any one may arrange for him.

Tourists or campers who want to

they send with the request a stamped
addressed envelope for my conven.-

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Thursday, July z.

| Until late in the day. the planetary
| aspects are not favorable for jewellers
on the earth, astrologers announce.
| There will be much criticism of states
men and diplomats, under this rule of
the stars, which indicates bitterness of
opinion regarding public affairs.
Seers foretell trouble in the Orient
| for the United States, which comes
under a sway making for big prob
lens involving finance and commerce.
Women should not make any at
| tempt at initiative under this direction
of the stars. Much agitation in which
militarism will be concerned is pres
aged for organizations of women in all
parts of the country.
There is a benefic aspect for both
Army and Naval officers who are to
| have an active Summer.
Colleges and universities are to gain
greatly in national influence at this
time when the value of higher educa-
ton is to be demonstrated in uneX-
pected ways.
Travel on the ocean is subject to the
best influences tomorrow, which should
be most fortunate for commerce as
we'll as recreation.
Great rise in the cost of oil and by
products is prophesied because of eX-
traordinary demands.
Cheaper fuel for automobiles is to
become a big issue before the end of
the year, it is foretold.
Conservation of food as well as oil
may arouse much anxiety and cause
great dissatisfaction on the part of
the people.
Astrologers prognosticate events of
far-reaching interest in the coming
Summer, which is to add thrilling
pages to history.
Persons whose birth date it is may
be greatly tempted to speculate and
early success may cause ultimate
losses.
Children born on that day probably
will win success by Independent ven
lures.
