 CHILDREN

Gee. Nom, it's as cold as thun- der out there."
 Billy shivered over the fire in his bedroom, one bare foot over the other, his thin little shoulders hunched together and altogether looking like a very cold child.
 "Oh, come on. That sleeping porch is good for you, honey. You need to get hardened up-thats why Dad built it."
 "Oh, gee! Mom-it's like get ting into ice water. It's terrible" You'll soon get warm, dear. Dad and I love it. Of course we're cold, too, at first, but in minute or two we're as warm as bugs in rug. You get warm, too, only you don't know it. You're asleep"
 q don't go to sleep. Honest, Nom, I just freeze"
 What! With all those covers over you. and a good soft mat tress?"
 "Well-the wind blows and it whistles all around-I tell you l just freeze" Come on now, go and hop in again." She opened the door from which Bill had so recently re- treated and a cold blast filled the room. "Scoot"
 She showed the thin little figure out, covered him up, saw that every window on the porch was open and betook her own buxom figure below stairs where she and her husband were finishing game of rummy. Upstairs Billy lay and shook. It was eight o'clock. He didn't IAI Ii, ,A1P iva n hpI III
 he stuffed his head under the pill didn't go to sleep.
 Finally he jumped up, went back to his room dragging comfort after him, rolled up in it and went | to sleep on the floor. At eleven his
 mother found him and both par ents were, of course, cross. Father Is Irritated What was the matter with that crazy kid?" Hadn't the doctor said he needed building up-fresh air night and day?" "Those bed clothes were thick and warm""
 "The boy had some kind of an ob- session." Hes just like a girl, 7" declared his father, who wanted a strong, big son like himself.
 "Never sick day in my life." was his boast, land we kids used to sleep in an attic with the snow
 blowing in on us."
 The next day Billy wasn't very well. He hadn't cold but he was tired and wouldn't eat. So his
 mother called the doctor to see if he would recommend oil, Or just a tonic. And of course he asked about air. Was Billy getting fresh air
 The story of the sleeping porch
 was told.. "Don't let him get into cold | bed" said the doctor emphatical- Iy. "Warm it first with hot-water
 bottles or pads. Let him sleep be- | tween blankets, and put flannel | pajamas on him as well as a warm
 cap to cover his head. Felt slip pers too. And keep screen be- | tween him and the wind or else close the windows on that side. Getting into an icy bed is a shock to his system. He doesn't gener- ate heat as you do, you must re- member" In answer to her repetition of his fathers story about the attic, he said, "He was country boy and there's 8 difference. Besides he was a more rugged type than Billy. On zero nights I'd let that young son of yours sleep in the house. Fresh air Is good but we have to use Judgment. Like med icine it can be a bad thing if used at the wrong time, or If we take too much. Just see that he Is comfortable"
 Wise doctor! Billy never suf- fered again.

There isn't" Arnold Page smiled at Sue, almost indulgently, as he answered her statement con- corning whether or not there was a story back of his philosophy of life. Not any more than the one that every confirmen old bachelor has,"
 He Goes cherish some sort of memory of Nancy" Sue told Jack later that night. And now that he's crippled it's going to grow on him. I wouldn't be surprised but he had almost forgotten all about it before. And Nancy, being all banged up, is going to get senti- mental, too, of she doesn't watch out"
 What do you think of Arnold 2" Jack asked. His voice was little too careless. He was standing at the dresser. untying his tie. Through the mirror Sue could see the stud jed pains he was taking. "Why, he's quite nice. Don't you think so?" She strengthened her lips so they wouldn't smile, but little laugh escaped.
 Jack swung around and caught her by the shoulders. "Listen to me, young lady. Pm the only man you are supposed to think is quite nice. I don't want you to think about any other man at all," he told her, laughing as he talked. Then h.s voice grew more serious as his arms stole around her and held her close. You're still glad about every thing, aren't you. sweetheart?"
 "Glad! Jack, you know I am! Why there never was anyone but you!"
 "Nc. even Dr Rarnea?" Sues arms pressed little tight CT. So Jack had remembered that =. had even recalled the mans name when she herself hadn't thought of him for ever so long. Then he too could know now 1t hurt when you wondered about someone, even when you knew. Jack, if ever there is anything that one or the other of us doesn't understand, lets talk it out she said with a sudden wisdom, and wondered why she had said it.

COME CLEAN!

If you have tried cleaning a white hat, gloves or even shoes with Fuller's earth and they refuse to come clean, try this method of talk ing their dirt away from them: Sprinkle Fuller's earth over them with lavish hand. Cover every part of them and rub it in thor oughly. Then dip the article, cov- cred with Fuller's earth, into a bowl of cleaning fluid. Take a small brush and go to work scrub ping, but not too hard or you will rough up your shoes, hat or what ever it Is. The cleaning fluid may get a little soiled looking. But when you finish you will discover all of the Fuller's earth at the bot tom of your dish, pot black. Your articles should emerge perfectly clean.

mended, instead, that children of needy families be provided with proper food in their homes.
 In many cities newspapers are carrying on campaigns to provide school lunches for children, par ticularly in the poorer districts. It is important that the school lunch be supplied not only to feed the child but also to educate it as to what are necessary and valuable food substances.
 When food is to be supplied, particularly to needy children, it should be given to them in their homes as well as at school, so that the rest of the family may also be fed. It is realized that the feeding of school children in groups leads to neglect of the pre-school child and to neglect of the mother dur. ing the prenatal and nursing period. No doubt, the first six months of life constitute one of the most important periods for ade. quate feeding.
 For every child, every day, al least one pint of milk, two tea. spoonfuls of cod liver oil (particu. larly if he is less than two years old), one vegetable or fruit, anG plenty of bread, cereals and other emergency food should be pro. vided.
 Such a diet is not perfection-i is an irreducible minimum. Ex. I perts have estimated that the feed ing of family of five with the | irreducible minimum will require from $7.50 to $10 per week. At this time more than ever peo pie require sound education ant good judgment in the selection O. food. It is a service in which every one must cooperate if the future of the country, and particularly ] the prevention of epidemics 0. disease, is to be asurred.
 Every child should have from one pint to one quart of milk eacf day to drink and to be added 1T cooking. It should have one ol more items from list including bread, cereals, rice and macaroni
 It should have generous helping
 of two or three vegetables, includ
 ing lettuce, spinach or other leaf.

''Then neither of us will be unhap- py imagining things"
 Agreed! Jack answered. "But there never will be anything that has to be explained. anything serious, I mean" he added.
 "Of course not!" Even while she said 1t, and believed it, Sue knew that there were misunderstanding at some time or other in every body's life. They would have them, too. But it vas rice to imagine that they wouldn't have any. TO stand for just a second inside of para disc
 Toward morning Sue wakene1 and glanced at the clock. It was nearly five o'clock. Half asleep, she wondered how Ruth had done that evening. If Sally had found some way of hurting her again. She wondered, too, if Corrinne was growing repentant And she also had a haunting feeling of sympathy for Hal Pritchard's wife who had been so deceived Perhaps once upon a time he had been madly in love with her It served Sally right to get in such jam. She mad been mean enough to deserve it. Still, she wouldn't have deliberately hurt anyone. Anyone but Ruth. that is With her thoughts tangled around her Sue finally went to sleep again She didn't waken until Jack stuck his head out of the bath room door, one side of his face stil! white with shaving latler
 "It's morning, Sue, Want to have breakfast with me, or want to sleep?"
 I'm eating with you, of course Then I'm going out to our house We're moving in tonight if it's warm enough. Having our house warming. I mean the housewarm' ing for just. us. Oh, there! the phone. Who would want Ill so early in the morning?"

HEALTHY CHILDREN
How to Provide Proper Food snd Care st Minimum Cost

The safeguarding of nutrition of children is fundamental to the fu- ture of the nation, especially in this era of depression and unem- ployment.
 During the World War when hunger blockade threatened for eign nations. children developed all sorts of disease conditions due to the lack of proper food.
 To-day the United States is not faced with any actual shortage of food, but with the fact that un- employment and the resulting pow erty means that many children will not be able to get the food that they require for proper growth and development. Undernourishment is inevitably associated with disease. The rates for tuberculsis rise rapidly when the amount and the quality of food is insufficient. Pellagra is primarily a food deficiency disease. Children who are undernourish- ed easily develop respiratory dis eases and the acute infections of childhood. Moreover, they are especially threatened with deficien- cies of development that are shown in rickets and in carries of the teeth.
 Most people will feel that the proper way of handling the emer- gency is to begin at once the feed- ing of vast numbers of children from soup kitchens or bread lines such as are provided for the un- employed in our large cities. However, the Presidents Organ- ziation on Unemployment Relief has realized the danger to our so- cial structure that lies in such an

COLOR SCHEMES

There Is nothing so enlivening as to change the color scheme in a bedroom or living room. The cur tains play the biggest part. Dip them another tone, and along With them, change the color of the elec- tric light globes inside your lamps. Don't go beserk. however. Only make changes that are compatible with your rugs, furniture coverings and walls. Usually any room could have accessories in any of two or three colors. Changing the choice changes the appearance or the whole

 It is necessary to economize in purchasing. At such a time 1t is well to bear in mind the thrift sug- gestions contributed by the Amer ican Child Health Association.
