Quicksands of Love
 Adele GarrisOn's New Phase of -ReueLdfions fQ Me-

over to Katherine's care for a year. or her performance. Both were per- feet and my small son was thriving mentally and physically under her wise and kindly regime. But except for the hour of cuddling and story telling at his bedtime, which I reli- giously kept for him. and which he appeared to prize above all things, I rarely saw him and then only for the briefest of intervals.
 I had felt in the days before the opportunity of work with Philip Veritzen came to me that I was in a state of mental stagnation, and that remunerative work of some kind outside my home was my only salvation. Lillian had bolstered my determination with her declaration that Dicky was regarding me as he might a comfortable old pair of shoes, and her advice to find place for myself in the economic world which should open his eyes. Philip Veritzen's offer had seemed like a Heaven-sent opportunity. and when I found that Katherine was available for Juniors care. l gladly had rushed into my new found work with enthusiasm and success. But was it success too dearly bought? Was I sacrificing to it precious hours with my son that never, never, never, could be re- turned to me?
 With a strenuous effort, aided by the practical reflection that as l had committed myself to my work for a year. there was nothing to do now but to make the best of it. I ban ished my troublesome thought, and I lay down by his side, and gave myself up to the delight of cuddling his small body close to me while I told him the story for which he had asked. I saw that he was sleepy from the outdoor air. and followed the tale with crooning song which soon sent him into slumber. My heart was light with the thought that I had been able to grant his request after all, and I returned to the living room with the determina- tion that somehow, someway. I would see more of my idolized little son.

 Dinner-Cream of celery soup, broiled lamb chops. twice baked po- tatoes, brussels sprouts in cheese sauce, grapefruit-cherry and Brazil nut salad. baked date and nut pud- ding, graham rolls, milk. coffee.
 A fruit salad is always delicious served with a French dressing and if it's a dinner salad after heavy meat course the French dressing is imperative. However, if the meat couse is light as in the menu sug- gested, or if a fruit salad is chosen for luncheon, the dressing may be reay mayonnaise or a rich boiled dressing made tart with lemon juice in place of vinegar.
 Spaghetti en Casserole
 One cup spaghetti. 1 tablespoons chopped fat salt pork, 1 medium sized carrot. 1 medium-sized onion, large blades celery. 1 sweet pepper, 1-4 pound or about mushrooms, IA pound round steak. 1 cup canned tomato rubbed through a sieve, 2 teaspoons salt, IA teaspoon pepper, l teaspoon sugar. 2 tablespoons grated cheese. ? tablespoons sifted dried bread crumbs

Put chopped salt pork into a hot frying pan and cook. stirring with a fork, until the fat cooks out and bits of meat begin to brown. Do not let the pork cook too fast.

 Black Pussy remained up there on the woodpile until long after Jimmy and his family had retired. When she did venture down. her hair was standing on end and she was all ready to run at the least little noise. You should have seen how very, very carefully she peeked out the door. No Skunks were in sight. Black Pussy raced over to the barn. She felt safe there.
 The next evening just at dusk Black Pussy was sitting on the doorstep. She saw Jimmy and /his family coming across the dooryard, heading straight toward where she was sitting. Without thinking, Black Pussy turned and ran in Goors. Just as happened the night before Jimmy and his family walk ed right in in the most unconcern- ed manner. and once more Black Pussy had great fright. After that nothing would induce Black Pussy to eat in that shed. or to stay there at all, She didn't intend to take any chances. All her life she had been accustomed to eating there and to spending considerable time there. But now she was driven out. Yes. sir, she was driven out by Jimmy Skunk. Do you wonder that Black Pussy's nose was out of joint ? Copyright. 192I( by T. ". Burgess)

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN

| B1 DR. NORRIS FlSHBEIN
 Editor Journal of the American 1 Medical Association and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine.
 Many factors are involved in de-
 cay of the teeth.
 When the child is young, the food that it takes is absorbed by the in. l testinal tract and sent through the blood to take care of the deficiencies
 in various tissues.
 The enamel of the human tooth is a finished product and 1t is not
 possible to affect it greatly by the diet after 1t is once completed. Foods do, however, exert a consid- erable influence on tooth decay. If
 some of the lower animals are fed on foods that require little or no chewing, the teeth decay rapidly. Sugar Causes Decay When emigrants come to this country their teeth seem to decay
 more rapidly than they do abroad. and dietitians are inclined to trace decay to a change of diet, particu- larly to the fact that the American diet contains a far greater amount of sugar than do the diets of for-
 eigners.
 Many of our foods are overprc- pared and predigested. When eaten, much of the starchy material re- mains about the teeth and is chang ed by the action of the ferment in the saliva to sugar. Fermentation
 take place rapidly and decay ac. companies it.
 Citrus Fruits Help Those who have studied the diet in the relation to the teeth are in-
 clined to recommend that persons eat coarse foods which require chewing. The use of the citrus fruits, such as oranges. lemons and grapfruit, seems to help in bringing about a proper condition in the mouth, through the action of the citric acid. Brushing of the teeth thoroughly morning and evening and after each meal is desirable if the teeth are not properly spaced to that food tends to remain in the crevices. Cavities should, of course, be filled and the deposits of tartar should be removed at least twice each year by com- potent dentist.

Madge Determines to Devote More
 Time to Her Son

katherine's acquieScence to my little signal concerning Juniors re. quest was prompt. Indeed. I knew that it was one which she readily would have granted save for her fear that doing so might interfere with my work.
 "Of course. you may take your nap on Mothers bed. if you wish sweetheart" she said. and my small son scrambled down from my arms and seizing me by the hand started eagerly in the direction of my room.
 And a story" he demanded with the unsuitable tyranny Of a child granted one request.
 "A very short one" I conceded. Then added firmly, But you must not expect me to stay with you until you are asleep. I will lie down with you, cuddle you close and tell you the story. and then you must be a good boy and go to sleep by your self, for mother is very busy. Will you promise?"
 He looked at me, cannily, estimat- ing the strength of my determina- tion, then surrendered.
 "Yes. I'll promise.' he said do- cilely. then gave q deep sigh.
 When won't you be so busyo' he asked.
 Unaccountably. I felt my cheeks burning, and was glad that We had reached my own room with a closed door between us and the others, dear as they all were to me. I realized, of course. that the query was one com mon to children one which if heed ed literally would make slaves Of all mothers. with no resultant good to the children.

Hut I knew that I did not belong in their ranks that my problem was an entirely different one. and that my little lads query might well represent real need.
 Not for the first time there rushed over me the old doubt, the bitter self questioning which had been mine when I first planned the ar rangement which would turn Junior

 Old Mother Nature
 The visits of the Skunk family to Farmer Browns house were not enjoyed by all who lived up there. No. indeed. BoWser the Hound didn't approve at all; but Bowser took great care to voice his disapproval tt a distance. This Jimmy Skunk and his family didn't mind at all. they were quite willing that Bowser should bark himself sick if he want cd to, so long as he didn't venture loo near. There was another who didn't approve at all. This was Black Pussy the Cat. Black Pussy's nose was quite out O. joint, as the saying is.
 These visits to Farmer Browns house had begun in the summer when Jimmy was wandering about. Mother Brown had begun feeding him at the doorstep. There is noth- inS stupid about Jimmy. It didn't lake him any time at all to learn that just about dusk he was pretty sure to find plate of food waiting for him beside the doorstep. So he formed the habit of coming regu- larly.
 Later he brought Mrs. Jimmy and the children Up there. One night just to see what Jimmy and his fam fly would do, Mother Brown set the food inside the back shed. leaving the outer door open. She wondered if they would venture inside and she kept watch from the window She saw Jimmy lead the family up 10 the doorstep. There was no food there for them. Apparently they didn't know what to make Of it.. They put their heads together Mrs. Brown, watching them, guessed that Jimmy told the others to wait while he looked around. She saw him stretch his head toward the open door and sniff. Then. calmly, anc as if he were accustomed 10 it, Jimmy walked right into the shed. In a moment he came iack ing out. Not until he reached tho threshold did he turn around. In his mouth vas q chicken bone.
 At sight of this Mrs. Jimmy promptly went into the shed. Ot course, this was enough for the children. If father and mother were not afraid there could be no reason for them to be afraid. So each went in 10 get bite, and each backed out in just the same way as Jimmy and Mrs. Jimmy had. It was very fun ny to sec them.
 Now all this time Black Pussy had been in that shed and had seen what was going on. Black Pussy didn't approve at all. She thought that food had been put there for her, for in that shed she was ac- Gustomed to being fed. So she had lcen helping herself when Jimmy Skunk walked inside. At first glance Black Pussy thought 1t was another cat. Other people have made that mistake when unexpect. edly meeting Jimmy or one of his family. Black Pussy pulled back her lips and growled deep in her throat. She lashed her tail. |, was about to spring on this stranger who was seemingly paying no at. tention to her. when for the firs time she noticed the big plumy tail No cat ever had tail like that The growl died in Black PusSy's throat A wild look Of fright chased the anger out Of her eyes.
