Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

All students of psychology are
familiar with the type of woman, who
becomes chronic invalid in order to
snare the waning attentions of her
husband. II he is Indifferent, she
develops a violent headache and in his
solicitude she finds nourishment for
her love. Later it takes more than
headache to win his attention, so
she develops strange and indetermin-
ate aches and pains. She goes to bed
and becomes q mysterious figure of
suffering. This goes on for years,
until she becomes a confirmed hypo-
chondriac. If she has no maid she
becomes ill., If her husband displeases
her in any way she becomes i'll. Ill
ness is her weapon against a world
want to fight.
In every household of more than
one child, there will be almost in
evitibly a child of this type. Per-
haps not so exaggerated a type in
CHILDHOOD but certain to develop. He
or she may be a stepchild, second
child who gets less attention than
the first-born; a first-born, whose
nose is out of joint because of the
loving attention lavished on a younger
brother or sister, while he is supposed
to take care of himself.
"Only" children who are treated in
differently by busy parents develop
illnesses in order to lure a mothers
care, instead of a maids. Babies or
older children find that vomiting after
meals gives them attention and solici.
tude denied them when they eat their
meals without fuss or trouble. One
must know ones children. One must
look beloW the surface in such cases
to determine what misguided but
natural motive is actuating unusual
behavior other than real illness.
A bullying child undoubtedly gets
from his playmates attention of which
he would otherwise be deprived. He
may be inwardly very harmless per,
son, but when he sees an audience
created for him when he DULLES other
children, he swaggers in this lime
light and gets a heap of satisfaction.
At home this child may be bullied by
an older parent, and in retaliation he
makes the lives of younger children
with whom he comes into contact
miserable, as he IS miserable at home.
What children of these types need
is love. Just notice and love and at
tention they crave in order to be
happy. Given these they cease to
make use of illness, bad tempers, and
the whole long list of attention get
terS.

FOOD AND HEALTH
BY WINIFRED STUART GIBBS.
Food Specialist.
Food Specialist.

If various members of the fish fam
lily were to get up an oparetta based
on Gilbert and Sullivan technique
there might be a lot of chanting about
sisters and cousins and aunts' For
even little delVing into the family
trees of well known fish may result in
surprising information. Take the well
known mackerel, for example. How
many of US remember that one of it's
relatives is the tuna fish? In fact, it
is the largest member of the mackerel
family. Sometimes, according to
one writer, growing to the length of
10 feet"
No longer do we need to turn to
Russia for the tOothSome tuna fish
True, that country has for years fur
nished a very delectable brand of
tuna, preserved in oil and canned.
But the waters of our own California
afford habitation to this husky mem
Der of the mackerel family, and one of
California's largest industries is that
Of packing and shipping this delicious
fish.
Next time you nibble your tuna and
hot chocolate at your favorite sand
wich fountain. give a thought to the
food value represented by this much
Travelled fish. Probably the fish is
canned, because practically 80 per
cent of the tuna we know is distrib-
uted in this form. SO any thoughts
along this line should take this into
account.
Canned tuna, then, being SO rich in
fat, gives much energy, and a word Of
caution in passing-because of the
mixture Of fat with the lean fibers, it
Is not for tiny tots.
Like other preserved fish and meat
there is an acid reaction when tuna
fish is digested, but this may be bal
anced by an addition Of the proper
vegetables. When it finally arrives
from California tuna is ready to en-.
rich our blood with iron. 1t has Il
really extraordinary quantity of phos-
phorus to make our hearts tick and
our kidneys function and our blood
circulate. True, it does not do well
when it comes to furnishing lime, al
though it has rs much phosphorus as
the average fish, nor does it have as
much as some Of the other fish. But
after all, no one food can be expected
to perform the work of all others.
Each has it's own work to do and it's
own relation to other foods that go to
make up we'll balanced diet Emer-
| son was not thinking about food when
he wrote his poem "all are Needed by
each one" but the principle does
apply.

Galleries You Need.

Perhaps 7 should head this, Galleries
you don't need. If you're reducing,
you don't need many. You'll have to
emulate the Well-knoWn desert camel
and consume some of the humps of
flesh you've stored up on various
parts of yourself the last few months
or years.
We said a little while ago that a
woman who did very little work-that
is, very little physical Work-a stenog-
rapher, for instance, or some one
whose work was mostly sitting down,
needed from 1000 to 1900 Galleries OF
food day to keep up normal
weight. A woman who does siren
uous housework can increase this
amount and take up to $500 tall this
depends on her height and age, for a
woman built naturally needs more)
But homework these days Is not
hard, SO you can count out the
$500 and make it $500, unless you
live in a place almost without con-
veniences. You know also that you
must cut out 1000 calories day to
reduce two pounds a week.
Here are some caloric values for
you to remember: The amount Of

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Wednesday July ~.

Benefic aspects dominate tomorrow,
according to astrology, which finds
adverse influences weak.
The morning should be a most
suspicious time for women to push
plans FOR business or social enter
prises.
The rule appears to presage for
women new respect for traditions of
religious and home life.
While this sway prevails there may
be good luck for women who invest
IL real estate or engage in agriculture.
= Interest in gardens and gardening
will engross many families while this
configuration prevails.
The seers prophesy for American
homes that they are to be more beau
tiful than those of any other country.
Again banks and bankers are sub
ject to the best possible direction Of
the stars, making for expansion and
development.
France Is to suffer disaster from
an explosion that may have a far
reaching effect, it is forecast.
Egypt is still subject to planetary
government that indicates startling
events.
Reforms tending to combat organ
tied crime probably will gain impetus
as the Autumn opens, the seers prog
nostcate.
Movements of armed forces abroad
will be of sensational interest in the
United States, readers of the stars
prophesy.
Supreme progress in the arts as
! well as in commercial interest is
, prophesied for this country.
Persons whose birth date anniver-
sary it is should have much joy in
| the coming year, which may awaken
| interest in children and domesticity.
Children born on that day probably
! will have literary talent. Subjects
of this sign usually are fond of sea
tales.

Salient Points Of the Play.

Trick .. Before attempting to de-
velop the Diamonds South must, IL
possible, meet the menace of the
adverse Spades. If West holds both
the Ace of Hearts and the Ace of
Clubs the Spades are bound to make.
But If he holds only one OF these
Aces and it can be forced out before
Declarer's second Spade stopper IS
played. then West may be prevented
from making his long Spades through
lack of re-entry. Declarer's Hearts
being stronger than his Clubs, though
shorter 10 length, Declarer opens
Hearts, hoping that if West holds an
Ace it may be Of Hearts rather than
of Clubs. West, holding but two
Hearts, covers the King so as at least

So far, according to the magazine,

''The new passenger car line
