that reason contains element which. weight for weight. furnish more nourishment to the human body than almost any other food.
 The generous use of milk in the diet safeguards the body against many of the deficiency diseases. Its vitamin and mineral content is high. Tn fact, milk is so rich in vitamin A that if child is given full quart day ther els little danger of a shortage of this vitamin no matter what other fods may be lacking. The vitamin B content Is good. The pres ence of vitamin c Is so variable taht 1t should not be depended upon. Fruits and vegetables must be used to supply this vitamins.
 Secret of Good Diet
 The protein, fat and carbohydrate calories of milk are particularly well utilized by the body. The protein Is recognized as "adequate"--of the very best quality for growth. The fat ts in emuIsifi6d form--broken up into tiny globu1es--which makes 1t especially easy to digest. The carbo- hydrate in the form of milk sugar or lactose Is very easily used by the body.
 If milk is supplemented with whole grain cereals, the legumes-- dried peas, beans. lentils and pea nuts-the cheaper vegetables, such ss potatoes, carrots, cabbage, tur- nlps and parsnips, canned tomatoes, dried fruits and fresh fruits in sea- son, varied and complete as well as nourishing and well balanced diet can be maintained at low cast.
 The secret of making an interest- ing dietary for a small amount cs money lies in developing the char- acteristic flavor of the bland foods as much as possible and to include in the day'a menu some of the high. " favored foods.
 Daily Menu
 Breakfast-etewed prunes. cooked whole wheat cereal with top milk, toast, milk, coffee.
 Luncheon--spiit pea soup. crou- tons, carrot and cabbage salads apple sauce, molasses cooAiess milk, tea. Dinner--stuffs6 baked spareriba, scailoped potatoes. buttered parsnipa. jeiIied tomato salad, sliced bananas and oranges. spice sup cakes, mix, coffee.

She worked along quickly, helping when she could. When 1t was finish ed the man gazed at her little knowingly. Well. sister, I held up traffic for you. Do l get reward ?''
 T don't know what you mean, Sue evaded the question.
 "Oh, yes, you do. Girls who drive taxicabs don't take the back streets" !" He pulled her to him, and she saw that his lips were thick and very red, and knew that he was going to press them over her own firm mouth. She slipped and wriggled out of his grasp, and as she did so, she pushed the man. He went over backwards in a mud puddle. Before he could re- cover Sue was in the taxicab and had started 1t.
 "I'il pay you anything you want If you'll hurry up and get there. the voice in the rear of the car said.
 "I'n make it, Sue answered tersely. My job depends on 1t. too. can't let passenger down.. But what was she doing in this disguise? Was she the man who Who is the man she wants to meet ? Or is 1t man? And why Is he leaving? How does 1t all concern us Will Jack meet us there? And will he keep far enough away so she won't suspect?")
 Sue was so lost in her own thoughts that she hadn't been watching the road. Now she became aware that q car was pounding down behind them. The lights fickered across her own windshield, and she asked Sybil to lower the curtain In the back. Dimly she realized that she was being followed. Its that knight of the road who
 wanted to be paid In kisses." she said, and tried to make her voice careless as though experiences with taxicabs that had blow-outs was an everyday occurrance with her. Hes following us, but we'll beat him into town. l see the lights right ahead of us. Where do we turn when we get there ?''
 T don't know. I'm not familiar
 with the town. Somebody else al-
 ways drives" Then the passenger re- alized that she had said too much.
 q don't know much about motors. My chauffeur usually looks after such things"
 Due was beginning to formulate a plan.
 I'll stop at the police station and ask. Isn't 1t funny, that's the only thing I remember about the town?'' And when she got there she would ask for someone to follow them. she had decided. She would catch sybil now. For sure.

Time and again have admired a beautiful head of shining white hair, only to have the owner mourn the loss of color.
 It seems human to admire lovely silver or white hair on others and mourn 1t on ourselves. Therefore many women put off the day of mourning by using dye or tints and
 am all for if. if it makes them feel better.
 The question they bring to me, after they tire of dye. Is how to bleach white hair out in a hurry. We'll, 1t cant be done. that's all. There are certain oil treatments that help to hurry the process but dye has to wear off the hair and you must wait until it does
 The treatment the best specialists advise is to get the hair In perfect condition and let nature take care of itself. By that mean constant scalp treatments while you are let ting your hair go gray. Since there is no tonic or ointment or unguent that blcaches 1t all at once, the next best thing Is to get it healthy look

SISTER WARTS KITCHEN

To provide nourishing food for a family is not simple task, and when the income is small the prob lem becomes more difficult. Knowl- edge both of food values and hu- man needs coupled with ingenuity and much thought makes it possible ito spend the food allowance wisely and well.
 Milk is the ood which stands first on the list of foods essential to health. Comparing it's relative food value and cost with other common food stuffs, it is found to be the l. cheapest source of calcium, 6 fairly economical source of fuel, protein. and phosphorous. And although 1t is an expensive source of iron, since it's iron content Is low, this condi- ton is compensated in part by the fact that the iron is in an especially available form.
 When milk is supplied in adequate amounts, the diet may be very low in meat without sacrificing anything essential to nutrition. Professor Sherman recommends "a quart of milk day for every boy until he is full grown, and a quart of milk a day for every girl baby until she has weaned her last child" It is gener- ally agreed that pint of milk day for each child and one-half pint for each adult is the minimum amount that should be supplied and that no diet should fall below this. A full quart of milk a day for each child and g. pint for each adult is much safer and every effort should be made to supply it.
 To N0urnsh the Young
 There are many reasons why no other food stun gives greater returns for the money expended than milk does. In the first place, milk is one of the foods primarily designed by na- ture to nourish the young and for

The Good Taste Girls had been promised discussion of the wisdom of expressing opinions freely, but by common consent they agreed to postpone that question for another one. Frances brought the question --"can you tell me, Mrs Page what I should do about unacknowledged gifts?"
 Mrs Page, here is my question I sent three gifts to a friend. one present was for her, another for her baby daughter. She acknowledged all the gifts but the one for the baby. Each gift was mailed separ- ately and the packages were not in- sured. I don't want her to think forgot the baby, but hate to prod her to find out whether all the pack ages arrived. Of course, if they did not, want to take 1t up with the postoffice."
 "The answer to any question like that is easy if you put yourself in the place of the other person. Sne may have meant to mention the gift but have been interrupted while she was writing the letter so that her line or thought was DTOkeH. V write to her saying that you were glad she liked the present but that her letter to you makes you fear that she thinks you have shown partiality to the older child, Say that you did not insure. the parcel and in the rush of Christmas map its loss would be quite understand. able. Put the stress upon your de. sire to right seeming wrong rather than upon her negligence in ac' knowledging the gift.

ing and the color doesn't make so much difference.
 As a matter of fact, the reason most women decide to give up dyeing their hair K that the texture has be- come so inferior. They speak of the brittleness. the way their hair no longer takes decent curl and so on. That is a natural result of using certain dyes upon the scalp. But I maintain that if you are as careful in treating your scalp as you should be your hair texture won't change so much.
 Especially, if you have used henna dyes, and now want to let your hair grow into it's natural silveryness. by all means go in heavily for scalp treatment. The same brushing, tofi- ic, application, massage that am always recommending. But after all, scalp care is scalp care whether 1t is to get your head into the right condition after illness, after dyeing your hair, or just to keep 1t lovely.
 It takes as a rule about seven monthg after you make up your mind to let your hair go silver for 1t to become uniformly gray. after

 Then the banks can be opened" she said firmly. 1T must have that money by midnight, without fail.'
 Mir Reynolds sighed but agreed to arrange it.
 Having taken this initial move they were in complete quandry as to what should be done next. Their inclination to return to Doorndee---the note having stated that the money would be demanded from "the other house"--was mega tived by the fact that since Ginger had disappeared from Mill Rush. she was very likely somewhere in that vicinity. and in event of her release or escape would be most likely to return there.
 An additional objection to their immediate return to town was Jenky, who. at the mere suggestion.

The rain was coming harder now, falling into pools in the holes in the road. Sue stepped into one of them and went down over her ankles
 She wished someone would come. Anyone who knew how to put on tires. A light appeared far down the road. It came nearer, and the car stopped.
 Sorry I can't help change tires. Too much of hurry. But I'll take this passenger along with me-" a cheerful voice said. will that help any?"
 If sybil left the car Sue knew that she would lose her trail. She had to keep her with her. She was aware that Sybil, on the inside of the car, hadn't heard the mans offer.
 No, it won't help. have to get her him, there in this car" she answered.

OWL ENDS SIX.YEAR
 EXCEPTIONALLY AN EGG

Harrisburg, Pa tUP) A re-christening ceremony became necessary at the State Museum re- gently, because Jerry" pet owl of the museum, ended q deception of six years and laid an egg.
 Having accomplished that en- tirely unexpected feat, for Jerry was named for the comic strip char acter of that name and was always considered the most masculine Of birds, the owl proceeded to dupli- cate the performance and to pro- vide further consternation.
 The re-christening was a simple ceremony in which Jerry became Geraldine but retained the original name, bestowed upon 1t by Mrs Boyd Rothrock. wife of the museum curator.
 A similar occurrence was reported recently by the family of Governor Clifford Pinchot, whose pet macaw, "Oscar," added 10 teh egg produc- ton of the state. Oscars name re- mains unchanged. despite the inci- dent,

CHAPTER xxxIII

The girls and Jenky stoutly agreed with Phil that the best pos- sible procedure was to withhold all knowledge of 1t from the police, comply with all demands promptly and when Ginger was safe with them once more give the state an oppor- tuaity to track down the crimin- als.
 The men, however, with great deal of reluctance, contended that everything possible must lie done 10 apprehend those who had ab- di,cted her and due punishment msted out for their offense. There ware some conventions of law and 0r.ier that must be maintained, and the safe return of Ginger--while the most vital consideration at the moment--was not the only one.
 But my dears." protested Phil, half weeping. don't you realize they are goiNg to be caught in the act they will first of all get rid of ---the evidence? And the evidence is--Ginger."
 "But we have only their word for it," said Bard slowly, that she will be returned safely in any event. It is getting her off their hands that constitutes their greatest danger, you know"

 This seemed fair compromise between their duty to the state and their personal desires in re- gard to Ginger.

They must hurry out to Red Thrush on the first train there was one leaving Chicago around six which would get them on tine ground by midnight.
