ago he gave me an expensive
bracelet and, after that, never
showed up again until just a
few days ago, when he took
me out for luncheon.
He has expressed his love
for me many times and has
even suggested marrying me in
q year or two, but never has
he become too serious. Do you
think it is the difference in
our ages that accounts for his
late action? Is he just giving
me a chance to taste the world
and wanting me to be sure Of
myself? I am only 10, but very
settled for my age. Have you
any idea as to why he should
act like this? If I don't hear
from him again, will it be all
right to send him a greeting
card? If I do, will he probably
think I am chasing him? If
I ever go out with him again,
would it be out Of place for me
to ask him why he had acted
the way he did? Thank you for
any advice you will give. I have
come to you because I have no
one dear to me to advise me.
ALONE, BUT TRYING.
A good many men act in the
unaccountable way you de-
scribe this mans behavior -
and get away with it, too. He
tells you he loves you, suggests
marrying you in a year or two,
but conveys the impression that
he's not entirely Serious-giveS
you an expensive bracelet, then
plays dead" for two months.
It seems to me that it was up
to him to make some explana-
ton, when he took you to lunch,
Of his long absence. If you see
him again, I'd ask him why he
dropped out of the picture for
so long a period.

Silence >.
No one, at first, had the
power, the desire to speak. Gar
sons face was a mask; Comics
eyes were black with incredul-
ity. The skin, the features Of
Mary Smith were deathly pal
lid, the lips tightly drawn; but
for the blazing eyes she was as
harshly expressionless as a dried
mummy. Her only movement,
as she stepped forward, with
her hands hanging at her side.

of her chest.
The whole significance was
momentarily lost upon Connie.

clared in a startled voice. II
don't see how you could
breathe!"
Mary Smith seemed to smile,
but it was no smile at all. Her
teeth showed in a grimace and
one clenched hand pressed
sharply to her breast.
"Oh, God-that's all she
knows!" Her tone was shrill.
"All she can say is that I might
have suffocated! She doesn't
see how 1 could breathe! You
you idiot" Her voice
sharpened until it cut like a
knife. Cant you understand
that I would just as soon not
breathe at all?"
The Brutal Truth

THE YEAR AHEAD
For Those Whose Birthday is

February I
If February 7 is your birth
day, during the coming year you
should gain through business
and may receive favors or bene-
fits from those in higher posi-
tions. Refrain from disputes
with relatives or older people or
misunderstanding concerning
property.
Important dates: Avoid er-
cesses Of all kinds, take no risks
and maintain routine from May
13 to 18, June to 4, July 18
to 20, August Is to II, October
2 to Is, 26 to %. Good for gen.
eral affairs, make efforts to ad-
vance your interests from Feb
ruary 81 to %, March 10 to %,
April 18 to May 26, June 81 to

A child born February 7 should
succeed best in business through
persistent and concentrated eff.

Household Hints

Use kalsomine brush and
warm water as in previous jobs.
Wet the paper in the entire
room and keep brushing it with
wet brush until the paper will
Scrape off by the thumb-nail
test. If there are many layers
of paper, it is best to thoroughly
wet the entire wall surface and
scrape off the top layers with
the broad knife. Time will be
saved, less effort exerted and
less injury caused to the walls
by doing a thorough job with
the kalsomine brush and warm
water. The broad knife should
be kept about two-thirds under
the paper and not try to Scrap0
the full width Of the blade.
This will help keep the blade
from digging into the wall.

ALMA RUBENS' OWN TRAGIC STORY OF HER LII
HEALTH AND
DIET
BY Logan Clendening-

Gallstones once formed in the
gall bladder cannot be dissolved
by any drug or treatment yet
known. The widely held belief
that olive oil will dissolve them
or aid in their passage out of
the gall bladder is without any
foundation. People will tell you
that, after taking olive oil, gall
stones were passed in the stool.
What actually happened was
that the olive oil was saponified
in the inteStines and what were
thought to be gallstones were
actually Jumps of soap in the
stool.
Must Be Small Stones
Sometimes small gallStones
will pass out of the gall bladder
and work their way down the
bile passages into the intestine.
But these must be very small
stones. because the openings Of
even the largest bile ducts are
not much larger than a good
sized match. The only way to
get rid of the ordinary sized gall
stones is by surgical operation.
Gall bladder inflammation Of
the mild catarrhal form is uSu-
ally amenable to medical care.
The arrangement Of the diet is
based on known facts in physi-
ology-that bile is used in the
digestion Of fat. A fat-free diet
Is therefore indicated. Expert
mental studies have shown that
sugar protects the liver from
necrosis due to phosphorus pois-
oning, so in the liver and gall
bladder disease a good deal Of
sugar is added to the diet.
Fat-Free Diets
Such fat-free diets are as fol-
lows:
Breakfast - Stewed Prunes,
oatmeal with milk, weak coffee
with milk, dry toast.
Dinner Vegetable soup,
crackers, roast lamb very lean),
small serving boiled potatoes,
junket, weak tea with milk.
toast.
Supper - Poached egg, rice
with milk, stewed apricotss
weak tea with milk, toast.
Lunches-1O a. M, orange gel
attn; 3 p. M, six ounces Of but
termilk; 8 p. M, weak tea with
crackers.
TWO
Breakfast-AppleSauce cream
Of wheat and milk, soft-boiled
egg, weak coffee With milk,
toast.
Dinner-Cream of corn soup
(made with milk, lean roast
beef, mashed potatoes, fresh
spinach, tapioca pudding, weak
tea with milk, toast.
Supper-Soft-boiled egg, rice
with milk, stewed pineapple,
weak tea with milk, toast.
Lunches-10 q. M. broth with
crackers; 3 p. M, custard.
Plenty Of sugar in the coffee
and tea and on the oatmeal.
etc.
Besides diet, medical drain
age of the gall bladder and
the use Of hillary antisepticS
are used in medical treatment.
They will be described tomor-
row.

CORRECT
MANNERS
Mrs. Cornelius Beeckman-l

Divorces Correct Signature
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
Will you kindly advise me as
to the correct signature for a
divorcee2 I have no children.
M. e.
There are two forms of
names used most often by
women who are divorced. The
first is the use Of the last
name of the maiden name as
the first name Of the formal
name. Let me illustrate:
Suppose MILDRED EDMING-
TON marries, and later d.
vorces, JOHN BYRON. The
name that she would adopt, If
she abided by the custom Of
the society world that makes
our forms, is MRS. EDMING-
TON BYRON. This is the form
that I enthusiastically recon-
mend, for it has dignity; it
registers her maiden surname,
and her marriage surname; and
it avoids the use Of the first
name. which is the best form
for the formal name Of a mar.
ried woman, a widow, or di.
vorcee. To those who know
what's what, this form of name
registers at once that the
woman knows the best form.
The second form-and one
which I do not at all recon-
mend, and which I do not
think at all dignified-is the
use of first name and last name
of her maiden name, and the
last name Of the married name:
Mrs. Mildred Edmington
Byron. This includes the first
name of the maiden name, the
thing to be avoided in the
FORMAL name Of a woman,
who is, or has been, married.

FADs IN NUTRITION.

There is probably no science which
has made greater progress in the last
decade than nutrition, also no science
has so suffered In the hands OF the
faddists and those who market COM
merc.al food and vitamin prepara-
tons, the claims Of which SAVIOR a
repetition OF the old-time patent
medicine propaganda, warns the Pub
lie Health League Of Washington.
There are many fads in nutrition.
Among the most prominent are:
The reducing fad
The bread fad,
The sour milk fad.
The vegetarian fad.
The no meat fad
The vitamin fad.
The bran Of roughage fad.
The reducing Fad is much more
prominent among women than among
men. No one should try to reduce
without the advice Of competent
physician. Serious results often follow
ill-advised dieting. 1t is simple
matter by faulty diets to devitalize
the body, but it is a difficult and slow
process to rebuild 1t.
1t is true that there are cases which
require special medical treatment, but
these are in the minority. In most
cases, reduction can be brought abou,
by dieting which will include the i'm
portant protective foods, afford variety
and tend to maintain health, activity
and ability to work, but at the same
time accomplish the purpose intended
