Newspaper men are true to
their unwritten ethics. Far more
so than the public is to the
written laws.
Three reporters Of the Wash
ington Times were sentenced to
As days in jail for contempt Of
court in refusing to reveal the
sources of confidential informa-
ton. Here is an anomaly.
These journalists performed q
public service In published articles
by listing scores of SpeakeaSieS be-
ing operated in the Capital City.
They furnished the addresses Of
these illegal places to the grand
Jury.
"But because they declined to
give the names Of friends who
had assisted them in their survey,
the court Furnishes them.
"The law must have known
that the Speakeasies existed but
did nothing. But when the press
turns on the light, It ID impriS-
Oned instead Of rewarded. Why?"

serve out their sentence, but they

toms that are really due to the infected
gall bladder)
8: Do you think that in time the gas
spells would affect my heart and leave
me physically unable to have an opera
ton?
Answer-It wouldn't be the gas that
would be so apt to affect your neart
as it would be the lowered resistance
from being unable to eat correctly, plus
the poisons from the infection. These
would eventually affect all your organs.
9. If the bladder were taken out, how
long would it take the average person
to be able to work again?
Answer-It depends entirely upon the
severity of the case. should say prob
ably two or three months, at least.
If you have skillful surgeon, Mr.. s.,
YOU must have confidence in him and
abide by his decision. If you think
there Is any doubt as to his competence,
you should ask for a consultation Win
another specialist.
els it true that. G. liquid taken with
food causes it to have no caloric value?
If so, how soon after eating will 1t have
s,,ch effect GA"
No, A., it is not true. In fact, if the
liquid taken has food value, such as tea
or coffee, with sugar and cream, y
ce tainly adds to the caloric value. II
it is plain water, which has no calorie
value, there is no difference made III
the caloric value of the food.
You should avoid eating salty or con-
centrated foods, for these make your
tissues hold water to dilute the tissue
fluids. The thing. to remember about
drinking water at meals is that II
should not be taken to wash the food
down. You can have all you want while

Nutrition NUGGETS.

Remember that meals must be
planned with four points in mind-frst,
to furnish sufficient nourishment to
keep the body in normal weight, and in
the case of children to provide Tor
growth; second, to provide sufficient
building foods Of the proper kind;
third, to provide plenty Of mineral salts,
and, fourth, sufficient vitamins. A gen.
eral varied diet, such as has been so
often described here, will take care OF
all these requirements. Lack of any
one Of them is almost sure to result in
harm so far as nutrition is concerned.
The child who won't drink milk "as
is" can usually be tempted by some OF
the many delicious and somewhat dis
guised milk drinks that can be so easily
prepared. Combination of rUit juice
and milk are particularly good for their
refreshing and nourishing qualities.
Combinations of milk and some of the
carbonated beverages; of matted milk
mixtures, homemade SodaS; of plain
iced cocoa made with milk, are other
possibilities.
DR.. w. r. Davis, director of the bu-
reau of mouth hygiene, Michigan De-
partment Of Health, in recent address
made before joint session of the
AOoAA SAlA40 x1Cc4OAA <1ooOS4uOAOAA AL
Chicago, said that the two greatest fac
tors In mouth hygiene are diet and
early dental attention. 1t has been
proven quite conclusively that wrong
diet promotes decay and correct diet
retards decay. IF we could have early
attention to small defects and correct
diet. believe we could almost wipe
tooth troubles off the map"
Foods that contain plenty Of minerals.
such as vegetables, fruits, whole grain
cereals and an abundance of milk go
long way toward providing for this cor
rect diet Plenty Of foods requiring
considerable chewing should also be
used-crusty bread, whole-grain ce-
reals again, some raw vegetables, such
as celery, carrots, shredded cabbage and
raw fruits, all help in providing proper
exercise and stimulation for the teeth
One of the troubles Of the present-day
American diet is the fact that 1t Is
made up so largely Of soft foods that
require so little chewing.

More Light.

more Light.
What the child who is afraid of the
dark needs most is more light. When
the sun dies down, all the familiar
things take on unfamiliar shapes. That
which was straight is now crooked, for
the shadows play queer pranks with
things Memories of half-seen, half
forgotten things rise up to trouble the
child. In the vague world Of childhood
all outlines are dim, and much of what
is clear to dizziness for an adult is
darby dim and mysterious to child
hood. The darkness is peopled with
these vague impressions that seem to
take on new life with the setting Of
the sun.
There is little use in talking about it.
The child sees things with his Child
mind that you no longer see. In fact,
YOU have forgotten that you ever did
see them. And strange noises rise to
alarm him. The creaking- OF the loose
hinge. the bump of falling apple, the
crack-crick- crack of the branches OF
the old apple tree call up weird fancies
that you have long forgotten, though
once they were real In your ears.
Saw no more about it. Fix the lights.
At every dark turn place button that
can be pressed for illumination or q
lamp that can be lighted easily. At the
foot of the long stairs, at the turn OF
the hall, at the head of the cellar stairs
and at the foot have buttons or lights
that the child can turn on as he needs
them.
Teach him to turn them of as he
passes. If he learns to turn on light
when he needs it and to turn 1t OF
again when the need is past, he will
have travelled long way toward con-
uuering his fear of the dark. Dark
ness that Is at the back Of q button or
in the turn of screw soon loses its
terrorS.
A night light on the head OF q child's
bed soon helps him charm away his
night terrors. Nobody knows, SEEM
ingly, what frightens the child, but it
is soon evident that food Of light re-
heves him.
Take care not to frighten timid chill
dren. Loud noises strike fear into the
souls of children. Especially is it i'm
portant not to let any loud noises
occur In the night. Sleeping children
are shocked by sudden loud noises, and
it is that kind of shock that brings on
night fears. Strange voices calling,
