MOST OF us value our health
AVA too much to purposely neg
lect ourselves when we are
warned Of constipation by bad
breath, feverishness, biliousness,

that weak, helpless feeling. The
continuation of our trouble is
more often due to the things we
do rather than the things we
leave undone.
Some things people do to help
the bowels really weaken these

tenn without harm. That's whv

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

How much clothing 1t takes to keep
a child warm indoors and out and how
many covers to keep him comfortable
at night are questions which no one
but the individual mother can answer.
There is one fairly safe rule which ap-
plies to all climates and all homes:
Let the mother imagine how she would
feel dressed in the same weight gar
mentS or covered with the same weight
covers and she won't go far wrong.
No mother would 60 out in below
zero weather dressed in only a light
weight wooden sweater. How can she
expect that her tiny, inactive baby Is
going to be able to keep warm in such
an inadequate garment?
No mother would dream of trying to
keep warm in a short little coat with
tiny strip of fur at the throat, with
knees bare and thin shoes. It isn't to
be expected that her 3-year-old daugh-
ter will be any warmer than she would.
Use your Imagination. Know the
warmth of the garment you are putting
on your baby or child. Bundle him up
for play outdoors as you would want
to be bundled, and let him wear the
light cotton clothes in the house in
which you habitually dress and are
comfortable. A house heated to Sum-
nner temperature demands that its &C.
cupants dress in Summer-weight gar
ments. while the frigid air outdoors
demands that they wear wool and plenty
of it. There are no rules fit for all
homes, all children and all climates,
and one is foolish to make them. The
mothers common sense and the use Of
her imagination will prevent her load
ing the children down with wool inside
the house and sending them out in thin
little garments through which every
wind can whistle.
This is all the answer have for your
request, Mrs. @. L., though any reader
may have leafiet suggesting the usual
Winter outfits for the pre-school child.
A Self-addreSsed, stamped envelope is
all that is required to get any leafiet
offered by this department. We have
to keep "harping" on that string,
though, because the stamped envelope
Is so necessary.

Ruffles Appear on Evening Gowns

Ruffies are among the old fashions
that have been revived for Spring, and
If you have a suppressed desire to wear
ruf1ies, by all means prepare to wear
them now.
For the home dressmaker rufles
should make a strong appeal, because
they require the sort of careful hand
work that the painstaking home dress
maker can do to advantage Gathered
rufnes, moreover, cost nothing but the
material and the time taken to run the
gathers, while with pleated fiounces

Guaranteed"

You are listening to q ilver-tongued
salesman. He has spoken long and
glowingly of his product and finally he
concludes, I'VE absolutely guarantee
this article, so you can't go wrong!"
just why can't you go wrong because
the article is guaranteed and Of what
value to you is guarantee?
Guarantee means that something Is
warranted to have certain properties
or capacities. A watch, for example,
Is guaranteed to have IA jewels or its
gold filled case is guaranteed to wear
for 20 years. You buy it ordinarily on
the assumption then that both state
ments are true because they are guar
anteed.
What happens If you find that the
watch hasn't IA jewels or the case
wears out in two years? You demand
your money back usually. That Is the
real test of a guarantee, namely
whether or not the individual or COM
pany making the guarantee is of re-
sponSible or honorable nature
Before guarantee is considered for
the paper on which it is printed, look
up the credit and reputation Of the
guarantor. In many auctioneering
establishments all sorts of guarantees
are made. Most of them are oral or
phrased ambiguously so that it would
be hard to hold the auctioneer for any
statement he might make. Even II he
were held he might not be responsible
enough to bring suit against.
Therefore, to know whether or not
a guarantee is worth anything you
must know whether the person making
| the guarantee. or the "guarantor," is
worth anything. For example, your
automobile agent sells you a car and it
/ Is guaranteed to give service for a GER
/ tain period of time without recurring
! repairs You know that your dealer Is
/ backed by a reliable manufacturer.
/ His guarantee Is bona fide.
/ On the other hand. some second hand
dealer who is unknown to you guaran-
/ tees car to run for six months with
out needing repair. You learn that he
has misrepresented his cars to others
and failed to make good his guarantees
which were honeycombed with condi-
tlonS. His guarantee is worthless.
There are many legitimate and trust
worthv guarantees on all sorts of mer-
chandise. But before accepting any
guarantee at its face value ask by whom
is 1t guaranteed and by what Unless
the replies are satisfactory 1t is not
wise TO attach much meaning to the
word. The word itself is meaningless
until some one puts meaning into 1t.

Straig hit Talks to Women About Money
BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN.

ing may be reasonably priced-fre-
Quently it Is so.
The rich mans wife may not paw
high prices to Speculator for her seats
at the theater. She may even be sat-
isfled to take seats that are not the
best. After all, one goes to the theatcr
for enjoyment, not to be imposed upon
by ticket spectators, nor to enjoy ones
seat rather than the show.
Not infrequently the woman that
does not appear rich has reasons for
conceallng the fact She knows that
certain tradesmen would raise their
prices at her approach. She also knows
that the sight of her expensive car has
its economic effect. When she walks
she is walking because riding would be
a high-priced convenience.
When charities announce their do
norS and benefactors in drives and so
forth. you may not find the rich wom-
ans name on the list. Often she gives
anonymously or she does her charitable
work In person. Many wealthy women
set aside 6 portion of their incomes
yearly and they give in bulk according
70 the way the reserved sum has been
allotted.
1t will be found generally that rich
women live more simple lives than Wom-
EN- in more modest circumstances.
After securing the essentials there are
not many things in life that money
can buy. Even the rich tire of travel,
leisure and such.
BY learning what the rich woman
does without we may learn how vain
and unnecessary are some of our de-
sires. Feeling the want of money is
commonly q condition Of mind, and
often the best cure for it is to observe
how the wealthy live modestly despite
their means.

DECISION ON WENR
CONFUSING TO BOARD
BY MARTIN CODEL.

Several more moot points in the
highly involved jurisprudence being
built up around radio are settled, but
the powers of the Federal Radio Com
mission are left in a somewhat con-
fused state by the decision of the Court
of Appeals of the District of Columbia,
handed down yesterday, ordering the
commission to allot more time on the
air to station WENR, Chicago.
The effect of the decision is to give
WENR, one of the country's few $4,000
watt stations, half time on the cleared
channel 1t now shares with WIS, also
of Chicago Under the commission
to the court, WENR secured only two
seventies time. the remaining five-sev-
enths being allotted WIS.
The courts opinion holds no brief
for arguments against the ownership
and operation of a broadcasting station
by power company.
Although wENR is owned and man
aged by an association of public utility
corporations, primarily the insult in
terests, it is described by the court as a
general service public station"
When the commission heard the
three-cornered argument for wave
length privileges, in which WENR, WIS
and WCBD (the latter station operated
at Zion City, H., by Wilbur Glenn Vo-
liva), all sought more time on the air.
Several United States Senators ap-
peared to urge against granting in
creased radio facilities to what they
described as power trust
The courts action, in effect, repudi-
ates the senatorial arguments. How
ever the court also pays tribute to the
programs Of WIS as being of thigh
character and general interest"
2cognizing also the high charac-
t, of the programs broadcast from Mr..
Voliva's radio station, the court holds in
the same opinion that its present day
light assignment on another channel Is
SUFFICIENT, and upholds the commissions
decision to that effect.
In reversing the commissions decision
in the WENR-WLS situation the Court
of Appeals plainly decided the case on
the facts of the respective public serv-
ice merits of the stations involved.
This has led members Of the COM
missions legal staff to question whether
the court should be confined to legal
reviews or be constituted as a sort of
super administrative body over radio.
