Lemon juice Is q good anti-scurvy
food and, like other citrus fruits (and
tomatoes), while acid to the taste, is
alkaline in its final reaction. We should
all have a preponderance of the alkali-
ash foods Gin general, fruits, vegeta-
bles. nuts and milk in our diets to
maintain the normal slight alkaline re-
action of the blood and tissue fluids.
So, then, we can say that lemon juice
is good for the "alimentary canal, the
intestines. the lungs, heart and muscles
Of the body and the blood" wouldn't
advise taking it with salt, for you might
be getting too much salt, and excess
salt is harmful.
Vinegar. in the amounts used on SAL
ads, for instance, does no harm to a
healthy person, although 1t is not so
healthful as lemon juice for salads.
Whether you are underweight de-
pends upon your age. From your hand
writing, we judge you are about Is. And
in that case, your normal weight for
your height is given as 108 pounds in
the Wood-Baldwin tables.
From the tone of your letter, It
sounds as though you were thinking Of
reducing, for vinegar and lemon Juice
are commonly believed to help reduce
weight. Vinegar viii. If taken in large
amounts, because it will upset the in
festival tract. But this, Of course, will
bring on disorders worse than over
weight. You shouldn't think OF reduce
ing, Y, for while growing it is better
to be slightly over the average weights
than under.

Two letters opened In succession
(from Mrs. j. D. c. and Mrs. B. M
asked the same question. What can
mother do about the teasing" prob
lem in the household? In one case 1t
was 5-year-old boy who constantly
tormented his 2-year- old sister, and in
the other a boy of z and a girl of
who were unable to play together 5
minutes without fighting and teasing.
Teasing is an all-inclusive word and
Is used somewhat loosely. AL Is not
teasing that the mother may so term.
Suppose the 5-year-old takes away the
2-year-old's toys In order to play
with them himself. That isn't teas
ing. II he takes the toys away just
cause he himself Is the least interested
in them, then that would be teasing.
If the z and year old fight and
nag at each other, that isn't literally
teasing If the 7-year-old says. II
won't walk to school with you because
you're so fat every one makes fun OF
you," then very likely he is making
use Of the one weapon which will most
certainly rifle his 5-year-old sister
whose existence is made miserable by
her chubbiness.
Real teasing is a sport which is
enjoyed by the teaser because his words
or acts get the other fellows goat"
The teaser always singles out the VIC
TINS weaknesses and plays upon them.
The selfish child Is deprived OF his
possessions because his anger and despair
are so amusing to those who are teas
ing him. The greedy child is told there
won't be anything more to eat, that
his mother has given everything away.

is sure to be threatened with scissors
and their immediate loss. If the
mother views teasing with an impartial
eye she may find there are some whole
some lessons in 1t, for the leased child
may make such an effort to hide his
weaknesses that he ultimately brings
about a real reformation.
The best weapon against teasing is
to remain unruff1ed and undisturbed by
it. There is nothing that is more of a
bore than to sneak up and pull the
hair ribbon from a small girl who Is
expected to cry but instead says,
Throw 1t away, I hate ribbons any
way" She can wear one forever after
that with little danger of interference.
The 5-year-old boy is bullying. not
teasing the 2-year-old, and should be
sent outdoors to play with children his
own size. The 8 and year old should
matched. II the mother doesn't take
sides, both will develop sufficient pro-
lection to make the teasing harmless.
After all, the best lesson the children
can learn is to parry these teasing
| thrusts so that they won't make an
| impression. All children meet with
teasing at school and If they are shell
tered too much, are certain to bear even
greater burdens when they go to school.
| Show children how to laugh of teas
ing, or to find a vulnerable spot in the
| opponent and they will have learned q
teaser who needs discipline Is the
| grown-up teaser whose victim is a
child What he needs is social ostra-
cisnl-anything else is too good for him.

The short sleeve, ending just above
the elbow or or inches below the
shoulder. has been accepted for resort
year and will surely prevail this Spring
and Summer. Straight, short cap
sleeves are found on the new sports
dresses. A practical advantage of
sleeves OF this sort is that they protect
the shoulders from sunburn. From the
fashion point Of view, they have the
advantage Of emphasizing the slender
ness of the waistline.
Long sleeves both on dresses and
coats show a tendency to carry the
burden of the trimming below the ell
bow. Always they should be long
enough to cover the wrist.
There are many ways that this new
sleeve trimming may be added to last
seasons frock. Matching georgette may
be applied In gathered panel from
wrist to elbow and finished with bowed
strips Of the material, or the old sleeve
may be cut off below the elbow and its
place taken by a full underSleeve nm
ished with q close-fltting cuff.
Little capes are used instead of short
jackets in some of the new ensembles
for resort wear. If you want to make
an inexpensive little costume, you may
make q pleated skirt of silk and one of
these little capeS to be worn over a
dainty, lightweight blouse. If you
would like q diagram pattern for the
little cape, with directions for making,

A Sermon for Today
Perspective View.
BY REV. JOHN R. GUM


"Come We yourselves apart. Mark,
vi31.
The word perspective" is defined as
''the appearance of objects to the eye
as affected by distance"
There are some things which we can
never see in their true relationships ana
meaning until we get away from them.
In other words. we must get far enough
away from them to get the perspective
view in order really to see them, under
stand them and appreciate them.
There is nothing more hideous and
confusing than great painting when
viewed at close range. To see 1t we
must get away from it.
Things seen within narrow walls as
sumo an appalling bulk We are often
deceived as to the true size OF q thing
when seen near at hand.
How true this is of our troubles and
misfcrtunes. In the immediate mo-
ment our trials and SorrowS always seem
larger and more appalling than they
really are. When we get away from
them and see them in their true per-
spective they dwindle into much smaller
proportions.
The same thing is true Of our work.
Any common daily job is apt to assume
before our eyes a bewildering aspect,
unless we occasionally take time to look
at It in calm detachment.
This principle applies to life In gen.
eral. In the midst of life's moving af-
fairs we see life fragmentarily. We
see this thing and that thing, but we
do not mark their relationships and
far-reaching issue. The result is we
become perplexed and disconnected,
often feverish and vexed. The cure for
this is to come to some point where we
can get bird's-eye view Of the white
field OF life and duty.

January %. lS6S.-Preliminary work
in pulling down the old penitentiary
buildings was inaugurated today. About
one hundred men assembled at the
Arsenal at o'clock this morning and
we're assigned to duty. They went joy
fully to work, many of them with
lighter hearts than they have had for
some time, at the prospect OF earning
enough money to supply the necessi-
ties Of life for their families.
The job Of pulling down these build
Fall, and it will be the aim OF the
superintendent in charge to continue
operations without interruption.
While the employment OF 80 many
needy persons Is a source OF much con-
graduation, yet the fact that there are
so many hundreds of others unable to
procure employment casts q feeling Of
sadness over the city. 1t is hoped that
all persons who have it in their power
will put forth energy to help the unem-
ployed in Washington this Winter.
It is estimated that from 1900 to
1000 laborers have made application
for 100 situations to be filled in pulling
down these penitentiary buildings
since the announcement was mace four
or five days ago that the work was
about to commence.
A public meeting unuer the auspices
Of the Union War Prisoners Associa-
ton was held tonight in Metzerott Hall.
The attendance was large and many

for the sake of reading Niebuhr in the
original. James Watt, at about the
same age, while working at his trade
of instrument maker in Glasgow, made
himself acquainted with French, Ger
man and Italian, in order to peruse the
valuable works in those languages on
mechanical philosophy. Handel was 48

works. Sir Isaac Newton, when at
school, stood at the bottom Of the low

English divine and mathematician,

Many illustrious Americans are repre-
sented by descendants and yet many
well-known names have died with their
owners. Shakespeare's eldest daughter,
Susanna, was married at Stratford
June 6, 1907. to John Hall. There was
only one child. The youngest daughter
was married to Thomas Quincy. At
Shakespeare's death, 1915, the family
consisted Of his wife, his daughter
Susanna and her husband, Dr. Hall;
Judith and Thomas Quincy, and Eliza
beth Hall, a granddaughter. Judith
Quincy had several children, who were
all dead in 1889. The poets grand
daughter, Elizabeth Hall, was married
in 1926 to Thomas Nash, who died in
1647 without children; and secondly,
in 1649, to John Barnard, by whom she
had no family. She died in 1910.
Thus in 81 years, ShakespeareS line,
both male and female, came to an end.
Milton, the poet. left female descendants
only, and his family is believed long
since to have ceased to exist. A woman
named Clarke some years ago claimed
to be the last descendant of John
Milton. Sir Joshua Reynolds, Cowper,
the poet: Pope, Locke, Seldom, Thomas
Campbell, Oliver Goldsmith, Wilkie,
Turner, the landscape painter; Edmund
Burke, Pitt left no descendants. Not
withstanding the anxiety of Sir Walter
Scott to establish a family inheritance.
his direct race has persisted and those
of but slight relationship inherited his
lands and money. 1t is said that the
family Of Robert Burns, the poet, finally
expired.
