stubborn coughs and chest colds,

Any druggist can supply you with
21a ounces of Pinex. Pour this into

Robert Ruckman
Presents Organ Recital

THE first of a series of organ
recitals sponsored by the local
branch of the Guild OF Organists
was given last evening in the Ma
tional City Christian Church by
Robert Ruckran, organist. assisted
by Paul Brightenburg, a violinist
from the National Symphony
Orchestra.
The program was planned with
insight both as to the quality of the
pieces and their arrangement to
sustain the greatest interest on the
part of the audience. A joyous
"chorale prelude of Bach, I'm Thee
Is Gladness," began the evenings
program contrastcd with another
chorale. Gene Saviour of the
H"athen." The "Fantasie and Fugue
in G Minor" concluded the Bach
group, with its free opening, stur5y,
virllo fugal subject and sweep into
the final major chord.
Mr. Brightenburg PLAYED Handels
"Sonata in A Major" In the andante
and adagio movements his tone was
so rich and clear that it makes one
suspect that the faulty intonations
in the other two movements and the
fact that the violin seemed ahead of
the organ in these was due entirely
to the acoustics of the church.

regions. His way Of singing, for in
stance, the Schubert "Wohin," the
Beethoven Adelaide" (Which he did
yesterday by request and which be-
gan his program most auspiciously),
the Richard Strauss Die Nacht;
Morgen" and the more brusque
"Heimliche Aufforderung," all prove
him an artist of exceptional merit,
who, but for the fact that he finds
his top notes difficult, makes his
songs a delight to listen to.
His version, too, of the aria C'Rac-
conto di Rodolfo'D from la Bo-
heme" pleased the audience hugely
yesterday. This and the rest Of his
program-except for not too per-
feet rendition Of Songs My Mother
Taught Me"-gave evidence that he
Is one of the favorite sons at these
morning musicales. Each year he
grows in favor-and whether you
are one of his most ardent admirers
or not you have to admit that his
selections are always nicely planned
and nicely executed.
Nine Clare Clairbert was unfor-
tunately not in her best voice yes
terday She has been heard here
before TO better advantage. she is
still, however, what might be called
the perfect flute artist-her vocal
mimicry of the flute in such num-
bers as "Lo, Hear the Gentle Lark"
being extraordinary apt. This un-
usual talent, and the bell-like pre-
cision of her top notes, yesterday
served her well, since much of the
rest of her work was marred by
certain carelessness and inexpres-
sive expressiveness. Her Bell Song"
from 'Lakrne," although mechani-
cal rather than lyrical, is, however,
still one Of the feats Of this singing
age.
The artists on January at these
musicales will be Grace Moore, So
prano. and Myra Hess, pianist.

NANCY PAGE The Good Taste Girls are
 Sc0lded by Nancy
 By Florence La Ganke.

Nancy came into the meeting of the Good Taste girls club trifle late. She. was just in time to hear Sally say to Polly, "WeI! anyone would know that was a made over dress. Ny mother told me I would have to wear my big sisters dress after she had made it over and I told her nothing doing I was not in the market for cast-off and l was just as good as my older sister, Sally had a little air of bragging ss she repeated her impudent remark to her mother. Most of the girls nodded in approval of Sally's speech. Nancy felt sick at heart. Here she was trying to teach the girls to be gentle, considerate, mannerly and what was the result-just speech like the one she had overheard.
 She decided this was no time for half way measures. She had learn- ed that modern youth appreciated or said ir d.d, frank speech, Straight from the shoulder" as they inele- gantly expressed 1t.
 "I am sorry, Sally, that you said what you did just now. In the first place you are making it hard for your mother and father who are feeling the financial stringency. I don't think you are good sport at all. In the second place, think that Polly's outfit is smart. It has all the elements of good style now jacket, short sleeves, blouse of contrasting color.

'I'm Sorry, Corrinne. I believe you now. That girl was too convinc- ing to be staging an act. She didn't have you arrested as part of a scene. She meant it. Corrinne :" He hesitated. Gan you forget every thing now?"
 Corrinne glanced up quickly. Perhaps he would tell her how sorry he was. He might rebuild her air castles and make them shine with rose and gold and ame- thyst again. She had meant to hold out against him, forever and ever and ever. But life was hard and youth was fleet as lilac time. If he wanted her really wanted her she was so tired of strug- gling alone, alone
 But Harry's next words dimmed her ecstasy as though a cold gray wind swept down from some alien land.
 Ut would be much wiser for us to be living together, just now, don't you think, Corrinne?'
 So he wanted her to come back so he could save appearances! So the people of the town needn't know that he and his wife were separated! He didn't miss her! He didn't care for her. And he would probably be relieved if she didn't come!
 She didn't let him see the tears that were gathering far down in the dark pools that were her eyes. She smiled instead as she shook her head.
 "No, Harry, I've made some other plans!"
 Maybe he would coax . If he wanted her he would plead with her!
 But he didn't. He merely smiled and asked her if he could give her a lift where she was going.
 I'm not going far. Thank you anyway, Harry"
 She heard the soft humming of his car as the engine started. Then she saw it pass her and go swing ing down the street, into grove of shadows at the far, far end. She stood and watched it, not minding the people around her.
 Harry trusted her now but he no longer loved her. It would have been better that he should love her and no longer trust her. The last hope, deep in her, seemed. to crumble while she watched, and she had a sense of wanting to take it out and throw it into the street where all tho wheels of the passing cars would grind it until it was too dead for any more pain.
 Then as suddenly another thought came. She and Sybil Lester were cousins, by marriage!
 But she didn't have a chance to think of that very long. A girls voice interrupted.
 "You and your husband aren't so keen about each other. are your"
 Corrinne turned quickly to find Madeline watching her.
 "Of course we are!"
 All right then, you are if you say so. But I've had my own sus- picions this afternoon. And thought maybe you could be in- terested in scheme I've been flirting with. 1 wanted to get even

So many people are saying there
 dren's eating.
 There is, decidedly. Not that I think they can go ahead and eat
 everything their elders eat-perish the thought. For as far as that goes, even the rest of us are loading
 up with truck that cannibal
 couldn't digest. But there is too
 much talk, too much fussing about general lists of good, palatable,
 nourishing foods for little children, and those lists continue to be good. But I am wondering if any of them were tackled up on the kitchen wall for the children to read, discussed with aunts and grandmas for the children to hear. ding-donged into the children's ears till they began
 to feel that they were different, pe-
 culiar people who were in the class
 with the canary in his cage to be
 fed on bird-seed only, or Sambo in
 his basket, living on dog biscuits
 and water.
 If anyone told me that I simply
 had to eat spinach and coddled egg and vegetable juices, fruit juices
 without sugar, and ceeeal with just a certain kind of milk and cream, l should reason like this: "I won't be queer. I won't be different. I'm go-
 ing to be like the rest of the fam fly and break into the pantry the | first chance l get and fill up on cold
 ham and chocolate layer cake and
 thousand island dressing and what's
 left of the macaroni and cheese" Digestive Trouble in Store I'd have such complex about
 that canary seed of mine and those g-biscuits that it would stay with me all my life and every time l took decent bite to eat I would think, "Oh, I shouldn't" And that
 unhappy thought would send it's
 radio to my mouth and stomach and the result would be real digestive trouble-not a mere mental inhibt- tion.
 Should little children have the above diet of. spinach, etc? Yes in- deed-absolutely!

 One glance had told him that Ginger was the apple of the older woman's eye. Mrs Tolliver's slight air of annoyance at the advent of the three Italians had melted into an amused tolerance when Ginger ad- mitted it was of her doing. The money that lay behind the we'll kept establishment plainly belonged to the woman.

The Bidding. The contract bidding would be South one no trump. North two no trump. The contract is a little too high for East to put in his heart bid. south takes the declaration to three no trump. Tho Play.
 Vests long suit is diamonds, and as it is headed by the jack. ten. nine, the pjack is opened. dummy plays small. East knows that tn lead of pack shows either the jack, ten, nine of king, jack. ten. 1 either case it would not pay for East to put up his ace, therefore he should pay the eight spot, and de- clarer wins with the king. The eignt immidlately warns the declarer that East may hold the singleton ace of diamonds. &tgs
 If the declarer were to start either his heart or spade suits, both of which are solid for three tricks each, game could not be made. Clubs arc his long suit and they should be started at once. East wins the first club trick with the king. Not wanting to lead his ace of dia- monds and establish the queen for the declarer, he prefers to lead his 1hCdAS anu PAnyo thO JOShs DC- clarer allows this to ride to the ace Of hearts in dummy. A small club is returned from dummy. East win ming with the ace. and another heart is returned which the declarer wins the king.
 Still determined to set club trick. the -declarer continues with the nine of clubs which West wins with the queen. West returns the ten of diamonds hoping to trap the declarer into covering with the queen but the declarer plays small from dummy. forcing the lone ace of diamonds rom the East hand. Re- gardless ct what East returns, the declarer is assured of the last tricks.
 But cornnually leading clubs, t..e declarer has succeeded in making his contract Cf three no trump. It was rather unfortunate for the oppon- ents that East did not start his spade suit, as this play would have defeated ,fe declarer's contract one trick. East would have finally es- tablished :. spade trick before his ace of, diamonds entry was taken out.
