As long as she eats properly, takes

Her diet includes a wise choice

Her household duties and O daily
walk give her all the exercise she
needs. She is snatching all the
sunshine she can, for she knows
how important 1t is In helping to
build healthy bones and teeth. She
takes at least eight hours sleep
every night, in a cool, airy bed
room, and an hours nap during
the day.
She has been coming to me
regularly for examinations. at first
at every month and lately as often
as I thought necessary, just as she
did with her other babies. You
see it is necessary for me to watch
her kidneys closely. Sometimes
kidneys behave very badly at such
times and can even make q moth

sees his patient often enough and
watches carefully, he will recog-

and can almost always relieve the

when one Of my girls was very
small she would say suddenly,

please" she would beg, don't
talk about It."
And 1t wasn't long before we
learned to speak to her very gently
and realized that once was enough.
We stopped haranguing and rub
Since those years have
thought a lot about that express
sion of hers. 1t was natural that
she hated to be reproved, but now
that I have learned so many things
/ see more clearly and there was
more behind her protest than that.
They Lack the Words
Children cannot express them
selves. They cannot tell us why
they do certain things. There Is
always q reason, and to them a
good one, why they jump into
trouble. II they were older they
could defend themselves with
words, tell US what they were
thinking about-say, when they
climb bed a fence and tore a dress,
or stayed out at meal time beyond
call or search. They could say they
forgot, or were too excited to think
in time. or were In search OF some-
thing they had lost. or that some
one else had lured them away.
These examples do not cover the
case, of course, for children 40 a
thousand things from q thousand
motives. All that we parents see
Is the act itself. Besides II they do
attempt to explain we jump to the
conclusion that they are trying to
set I'M an abb or to put the blame
on someone else. We look upon
explanations too often as an I'M
pertinence and don't give them q
fair chance at self-defense. II we
treated grown-ups as arbitrarily
as we do children they wouldn't
stand 1t for aminute.
We give every grown-up q
chance at defense because he can
talk, can tell us reasons and state
his case. Children try to argue,
and we say, "That will do" None

so. Now listen while tell you q

KITCHEN
BY SISTER MARY
NEA Service Writer

We hear 80 many housewives say
that they simply can't cook ba-
con-" that perhaps O few SUCCESS
tons regarding the various ways
and methods OF cooking this popu.
lar breakfast dish may be well
como.
There are three methods Of
cooking bacon on O gas range
pan broiling, broiling under the
flame and oven cookery. IN all the
methods, one essential factor Is
the same--cold bacon and cold
cooking utensil.
To pan broil bacon, put the
slices in q cold iron frying pan
over low heat and keep the fat
below the smoking temperature
during t he whole cooking process.
Turn slices frequently and drain
off the excess fat occasionally.
Keeping the temperature low pre-
vents the kitchen from becoming
filled with smoke and furthermore
gives the cooked bacon q mild,
pleasant flavor. When the slices
are O light even brown, thorough
ly cooked and crisped, remove to .
hot platter. It will take ~ to Is
minutes to cook bacon this way,
depending on the thickness Of the
slices.
Cooking Methods Varied.
Straight broiling under a flame
dispenses with the necessity Of
draining off the excess fat since it
naturally drops into the broiler
and pan. Frequent turning Is id.
visable. Put cold bacon on cold
broiler and place broiler about
four inches below flame. Turn
the flame as II would be needed

As Sue dialed Harry Becker's
telephone number she wondered II
q maid would answer; IL Harry's
own voice would come over the
wire, friendly, comforting again;
or II Corrinne's gypsy fiy-away
tones would speak first. Corrinne
would recognize her voice. She
hadn't thought Of that. She push
cd the phone into Ruth's hands.
"Here, you take 1t. Ask for

It was Corrinne who had an

preston on Ruth's face.

If we lost, l knew that would go
down fighting among those Apure
braves of mine, for l had taught them
to stand and fight until the last man
could stand no longer. OF my little

doubts, but we were only thousand;
the bulk Of Boliyar's forces was COM
posed of llaneros, sambos, and Of other
native troops. Some were good, and
some, / knew from sad experience,
were poor.
The sun glinted on the equipment of
the Spaniards. who were spread out in
battle array. They were possibly
eight thousand strong, which gave
them an advantage over us of two
thousand men; yet they were hireling
fighters, and our men were fighting
for their homes, for their families, for
the right to rule themselves.
General Paez, with fifteen hundred
men, had been sent around to the

The approach to the field was mar
