your party slippers beautifully

50 long ago. The little red

him about the fairies, that
danced under the old apple tree
every night and how he sat up
all night to watch for them and
you wouldn't let anybody laugh
at him and how he Rugged you
and hid his apple cheeks in your
neck-dear little brother-ah,
well, he never lived to lose his
faith in you, did he?
And the big sister who was
your idol-how beautiful she

to every mother on the face Of tina earth.
Perhaps the most Encouraging Of the many
experiences mothers have. is the failure Of their
babies to develop. In spite Of what the mother
thinks is proper feeding and in spite of all the
love lowered upon the infant, it does not grow.
Doctors speak of undevelopment loss of
weight and low vitality as being evidences Of
'malnutrition." The word Is applied to those
thin, pale, delicate children with dark rings
round their eyes, rough hair and flat chests
They are apt to be nervous, restless, disturbed
In sleep and fussy about their food.
The most common cause of malnutrition Is q
faulty diet. BY this / mean that the food is in
sufficient in amount or improper in kind Be-
aides, the habits in eating may be bad.

This mechanical age OF ours has
II last assumed human form in the

Frederick Stone, who claims that
his body Is overcharged with cleo
tricity, He has passed 20 Of his ~
years In hospitals, where his case
lsas been diagnosed as st. Vttus'
mSnce. but never cured. It is Stone
0ho advances the electrical theory.
His symptoms are curious, Tor
elDe only way he can avoid disconl-
S6rt is to keep himself thoroughly
Insulated. Only when his shoes are
atted with soles an inch thick made
OF old motor car tires can he walk
a comfort, and when he practices
his profession Of driving motor
rsr he has to wear vulcandte insu"
nators In his heels to avoid q chok-
ing sensation when he applies his
foot to the brake or clutch.
But life also holds for him Ger.
tain agreeable aspects denied to the
rest Of mankind. Thanks to his high
~ charged body he has made . suc-
cessfuI side line Of divining water
and has lately discovered that he is
also able to detect various metals.
Under the supervision of the cu-
gator Of the Plymouth Museum he
mas located. gold rings, watches,
bracelets and silver spoons buried
at q depth of six feet. His only
equipment, is a steel clock spring
which he winds about his hand and
which writhes when precious metals
are near.
