For hours, Jacqueline had been
tossing sleeplessly on the bed In a

time, instead OF soothing her
nerves and bringing resignation,
had served only to increase the
tension that had frightened her
nerves almost to the breaking
point since Lupino's death threat
for Tom. Sleep, in the accepted
sense of the word, was impossible
for her aching, burning eyes:

When Outsiders Interfere

MOTHER. Daddy and Uncle
NA John sat listening while
Bunny proudly recited his latest
escapade at kindergarten. Then
they all laughed.
His name is really Bernard. but
they Just call him Bunny.
Uncle John laughs the loudest
and the oftenest at Bunny's bad
ness, and he looks around the
table at the others in a way that
almost commands their laughter,
too.
Uncle John Is running Bunny"
his mother sometimes says, but
neither of the young parents have
the nerve to tell the generous
uncle SO.
One evening Bunny ovardid his
act and Uncle John was displeased.
That boy needs discipline" he
stated emphatically. That was the
mothers chance, but she lacked
the courage to tell Uncle John
that he was largely responsible
for Bunny's pertness and his dar-
ing.
Most parents have some friend
or relative who feels the urge to
help manage the children. The

Jefferies ignored the proffsred

went crimson with anger. then he
relaxed into an unpleasant smile.

the sunlight hours in winter, five

Sunlight and fresh air are as
necessary as bread and every

public health service depends on
the appreciation Of the simple
rules Of hygiene by the ordinary
person.
The physique OF many rural
children is highly unsatisfactory
and for this, inadequate feeding
is very largely responsible. Many
of the children have to walk one
