She Got Rid Of Those
Two Bad Mornings

Menstruation is perfectly natural
process, but the painful part is
NEEDLESS. Long study has abso-
'lutely conquered menstrual pain.
Science now offers women reliable
and complet relief-in a simple, ut
terly harmless tablet called midol.
This newest achievement of the
laboratory has nothing to do with
drastic, habit forming drugs that
kill pain by benumbing the whole
system. Midol acts directly on the
organs affected by menstruation, and
nowhere else. Yet relief and abso-
lutte comfort come in five to seven
minutes!
So, why have a twinge of pain
feel low or even uncomfortable?
Or take anything to depress the
heart or upset the system? All drug
stores have midol in a thin alumni
mum box that tucks in purse or
pocket-for 40 cents.

joying the baby's nap on account Of if

THE GIRL OF SEVENTEEN
BY CLYDE CALLISTER

Catherine and St. Margaret seemed
to be talking to her as we'll as st.
Michael, the chief of angels. 1t was
in fact st. Michael who first told her
to start out in mans attire to the aid
Of King Charles of France. When. as
a simple peasant girl of II, she first
went to the French commander with
her story, they judged her insane.
Later they took her seriously and had
a suit of armor made for her with a
white banner. 1t was the next to the
last day of April when she was II
that Joan of Arc led the French
troops and forced the English to give
up their siege of Orleans.
| Ellen Terry, the populal English ac-
tress, was married at II. She had al
ready made a successful debut on the
stage. The famous Irish actress who
flourished 200 years ago-Peg Wof-
f1ngton-made her debut in adult
parts at the age of II. She had been
making living on the stage for five
years. but until then was considered
too small to take anything but
juvenile parts.
Peg Wellington was an intimate
friend of the great English actor and
manager, David Garrick, and there
were those who tried to prove that
Garrick actually married Peg, but this
was not the fact. Peg had the kind
est heart in the world and was long
remembered for her generous contri-
buttons to London charities.

Your Baby and MiHe
ny MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

1t Is always much easier for the
mother to keep her flock in her own
ward and handle their various diff
ferences than it Is when strange chill
dren are about. and so the busy moth
er. just because it is easier. keeps her
own lamb of lambs out of the common
herd. No doubt it is excellent to teach
children to be satisfied at home, but
it also gives them no chance to exer-
else their social instincts. which in
the end is very bad indeed.
Some children find it hard to stand
the buffets and bumps which come to
all children who play with others.
Children can be hard-hearted and
cruel. and a sensitive child often is
hurt badly by their Indifference. their
snubS or their jibes. But nothing
could be worse than for a mother to
keep her child at home in order to
protect him or her from such treat
ment. One must become thick skinned
for ones own future happiness, and
it is an unhealthy symptom for child
to want constantly to be alone or to be
satisfied to be. for by nature humans
are gfegariouS and want crowds and
companions.
A sensible mother can do much to
teach a child the proper attitude to-
ward his companions. Instead of
commiscrating with him when his
feelings have been hurt. she should
point out that there are small pin
prckin, annoyances which mean
nothing. All children are given to
such habits, and if the child laughs
and refuses tobe hurt, they leave him
alone, but If he runs away and cries
and must be comforted, they continue
to do it. The hurt child is as good as
show, and they encourage the show
as often as they can. 1t is fine
habit to teach child to laugh in the
face Of annoyances, and there is no
weapon as Stanch.
child who plays alone cannot OBJ
viously learn craftsmanship. He can
not learn to be unselfsh when he
always has his own way. He must
learn the truth that greater happi-
ness can be gained by giving in to
others and earning their approval than
can be gained by doing as he pleases.
Being sociable can be overdone. No
one wants to bring up child to be
in constant need of ompanionship.
We must all learn to be satisfied when
alone. Quite as essential is it that
we learn to get along with others, so
the obstacles of their varied tastes
against our own desires will furnish
us necessary lessons in unseltishness
and sociability.

A we'll known 17-year-old girl of the
present day Is Princess Ileana of
Rumania, the youngest daughter of
Queen Marie. In spite Of the fact that
she is more or less closely related to
almost every royal person in Europe
she seems to be very much like any
other good looking, normal girl of the
age.
The only presidential bride Of II

married Andrew Johnson, who became
President after the assassination of
Abraham Lincoln. He was only two
years older than his bride. At this time

FOOD AND HEALTH

Food Specialist.
Melons.

The grinning pickaninny who has
come to be a standardized illustration
of any story that has to do with
watermelon knows what he is about.
When he sets his white, shining teeth
into the pink and juicy flesh, he is,
of course, not bothering his kinky
head about it, but that same water.
melon is doing a lot for him. 1t is
giving him phosphorus so that he can
clamor and play and study without
any thought of the intricate goings
on inside of his little black body. 1t
gives him lime, so that those afore-
mentioned teeth will remain hard and
white. 1t even gives him some body
building food, although, as in other
fruits, this is furnished in compare
lively small portions.
Not being a student of dietetics, our
little pickaninny does not use the very
best judgment in his choice of melons.
Were he to transfer his allegiance to
cantaloupe, let us say, he would be
getting more for his money. First of
all, cantaloupe would go almost twice
as far in keeping his blood alkaline,
although it will probably be many
years before he is conscious Of acido-
sis. Even SO, however, there is moth
ing like prevention!
This is the CHIEF advantage or can
taloupe over watermelon. for the two
are practically the same SO far as lime
and phosphorus are concerned.
The other advantage that the can
taloupe has over the watermelon Is
the fact that it contains a decided
trace Of food and iron which water
melon lacks.
Then there are other varieties of
melon. In the Spring we have honey
dew and later the delicately favored
CaSSaVa.
One should give honor where honor
is due, and these melons, like their
sisters, are all generally alkaline
With reservations. however. it is fair
to say that these lighter-fleshed and
more delicately favored melons lack
the richness of mineral ash that
gives to cantaloupe, especially, such
power in repairing damage brought
about by overindulgence in acid
forming foods.
1t is much more interesting to think
Of delicious fruits than it is of dire
diseases. Teachers who tell us that
we must not stress the negative would
like this way of teaching diet and
preventing disorder. In fact, all
through the work Of planning proper
diets this principle of sticking to the
| positive might be taken as a guiding
star. When. for any reason, illness
| has been brought about, there is plen-
| ty Of time to thing of the remedial

Exterior decorating is a problem
that is given as careful thought as
interior decorating these days. The
appearance of the outside Of a house
is considered fully as important as
that of the inside.
For the porch and terrace and gar
den the shops offer almost as many
intriguing novelties in the way of
furniture and decorative accessories
as for the interior.
Typical of the new thought in de-
signing interesting and quaint pieces
to fit into the outdoor setting are the
two pieces shown. The chair is an
old English type. with straight,
slightly rounded legs, a low, ample
seat and delightfully."- curved back. 1t

having quantity scalloped shelves and
graceful legs. 1t is painted shining

port with his trump honor, doubleton
Spade and Ace Of Diamonds. To pass
the hand might discourage an other
wise good rebid by South. Therefore
North bids two Diamonds to show a
certain amount of strength, fully
realizing that the bid is not wholly
justifiable.
Without support of Hearts by his
partner, South cannot rebid the suit
and therefore denies the Diamonds
with No Trump, though holding but
one Club stopper.
North, lacking No Trump strength,
carries the declaration back to Hearts,
thus showing average expectancy"
in the suit, realizing that South may
have failed to rebid a playable Heart
suit because his partner had seem
ingly denied the suit.
Salient Points of the Play.
Trick 1. East. on the assumption
that West has bid a five-card suit,
plays an encouraging card to assure
his partner that the Clubs can be
continued. A continuance with the
Ace must drop the Queen. If Vests
lead is from KingQueen and he fol
lows with a low card in recognition
of the encouraging discard, East's
Jack will draw the Ace.
Trick 3. Declarer sees that If he
can make a successful Spade finesse
he can ruff two Spades and make
game by allowing the adversaries te
make Diamond trick. Club trick
and trump trick; therefore. he plays
the hand accordingly.

The multiplicity of ideas for shawls
that are handmade and that come
from abroad gives us some notion of
the tremendous vogue of such shoulder
wraps. In England one titled woman
has shawl making for a hobby and
orochets the most amazing kinds.
Sometimes she uses Shetland wool for
the work. sometimes silk knitting
thread. 1 have seen French crocheted
shawls of artificial silk thread of a
high grade.
The shawls are modernistic in type
as far as the designs are concerned,
for they are merely conventional
motifs Joined with chain stitch in
black These motifs are made sepa-
rately and then laid on triangular
piece of paper on which places have
been indicated for the different motifs.
The motifs are basted in place and
then joined by chain stitches. When
one chain crosses another stitch
through the chain beneath is taken
in the crocheting, thus giving extra
strength in the very open network.
Variety i'm Styles.
Shawls that have the motifs done in
bright colors are daring and varied.
These are just the things for young
women, especially those with dark
hair and flashing eyes-women Of the
Spanish or Italian type. If the shawl
is developed in pastel tones of orchid
soft mulberries. lichen greens, old
blues, French grays, canary yellow,
etc, the effect is more conservative
without losing any charm. Or if the
color scheme is just black and white
the result is smart, somewhat con-
sentative, and yet striking.
How to Make the Shawls.
From the shawl pictured a design
that is quickly made and distinctive
can be copied. Centers Of circles
should be of contrasting color to outer
rings or petal forms. The outlines
should all be in black with black chain
stitching to join motifs. In the lily
shaped motif near the center the inner
