having shot the guard in the 1881
break. The four men sawed the
lower doors of their cells which

west wing. Then they stole down
the corridor and sawed the bars in
the iron door at the end of the cor

 Importance of a diet containing the necessary elements was shown in this experiment, an importance which is more and more being rec ognized by parents and those in charge of groups of children. The building stones for growth and health are supplied by adequate amounts of milk, eggs, butter green or yellow vegetables of al sorts and a small amount of mea or fish. Milk. butter, green vege | tables and fruit make the bes contribution to health since they are rich in vitamins which enable the body to make use of minerals and proteins as building stones.
 Parents may give their children a distinct advantage in starting proper food habits early by CD providing adequate amounts of those foods which meet all the needs of health and growth; CD preparing these foods in such a way as to retain their mineral and vitamin content; (O presenting them in attractive form in well balanced menus at three regular meals a day; (4) establishing con- fidence in healthful foods by pre- senting them in the most accept able form so that the full amounts

YOUNG MOTHERS

YOUNG MOTHERS
 NEGLECTFUL?
 like young parents. When l see a young woman wheeling a baby. looking more like his sister than his mother it warns my heart. Youth is the time to have families. And incidentally this de- pression is running the chances or our next generation of babies 70 have just such young parents, TOT marriage has been next to tmpos- sible for young people.
 Not only that but there has been no money for Mary, 20, welded to John, 23, to have any babies yet. However, not all Marys nor Johns have waited. I see a number or these girl-mothers about.
 Yet it is a quer way nature has sometimes of producing her young. She puts her babies into the arms of mothers so young that they have not yet learned the word eau tion.'
 Babies "Take" Q Lot
 Perhaps it is best so. If mothers worried about everything the way grandmothers do they would bc nervous wrecks. Little children would be even more hampered and inhibited than they are and the race would soon lose its spirit of adventure and enterprise.
 Yet I believe the young mother is too proud to take her ,baby's safety too much for granted. She wants to see 8 movie and off she goes, baby too, to see John Barry more push Lionel under the ice. She wants to shop, so baby goes along to pass on whether 8 blue serge suit or a gray fur-trimmed coat is more becoming to Mama.
 She has the crowd in and baby is up all evening, first on one lap and then another, enjoying the vicarious smokes of hundred cig- arets and rumping the cards in the dummy just when the player is deciding on finesse.
 Treated So Casually!
 The little creature is taken so sfor granted, like a new puppy, or a knitting bag! He Is just part and parcel of life to be trotted along everywhere and treated as casual ly as a basket of groceries.
 It amuses me but it terrifies me. The strange part of it is that ba- bies so treated are as good as gold mostly.
 I believe that most of these It, tie tykes are fed pretty regularly, because one thing that has sunk in of all the baby knowledge spread about, is the importance of right and regular feeding. And the chances are that although they may not sleep until midnight, they will see to it themselves that they get in some twelve to fifteen hours solid slurhber out of the twenty four.
 But Not Neglected
 Please do not mistake me. l do not imply that the average baby of the very young mother is neg lected. He is usually as clean as a daisy and bathed well. His bath may be at any odd hour his moth- CT can squeeze it in, but he's bath ed just the same and kept happy and comfortable. ...-.
 do not mean either that all young mothers are casual. Many lean over backwards to see that their babies are scientifically raised"
 This, after all, ;s merely a com ment without either a suggestion or criticism. We cannot change youth. It Is always asertive, all ways acquisitice. When a baby apears in the picture, much as he is loved, he is not permitted to shut out the world, that is all.

 ''Its not a bad place to work" the chauffeur said lazily. Good pay and the food is all right. Whats your kick?"

Citing an experiment with two dogs in the matter of diet to prove the necessity of including clements vital to health, the state depart ment of health in it's weekly bull letin today declared. that the equipment with which the adult faces the world depends upon the foundation for health laid in the earlier years and strengthened by daily reserves supplied in the diet during the entire period of growth.
 In the experiment referred to, two dogs from the same litter were fed .on food which was exact ly the same with the exception that the diet of one had no source of vitamin A. AS result of this the dog on the latter diet failed to grow and remained stunted in size. As conclusive evidence that the re- suit was entirely due to the missing

 "You mean. you don't know- Before the man had finished speaking, he was gone. Mad red lanterns shone through the black ness of the tropical night. Voices called. Nancy watched two or three men pick their way down the banks.
 "They don't mean that maybe he is still-living?' she asked. A man nodded. There's a chance. Not much of one. Don't bank on it too much. But the river isn't wide. As the canoe went over if he jumped maybe he clear ed the stream and landed on the bank. There's a chance" "Oh-h-h!" She crushed the word back, slim tanned hands against her full red lips. Arnold might come back. The strange nightmare might end hap oily. If on1y-only he would!. Somewhere a wild animal called and the call was low and not fero- cious now, as though he spoke to one of his own kind. A little breeze came up and stirred the trees and the moon swung lower to help on the quest.
 Nancy heard steps after . long time. The rescuing band was re- turning.
 She was afraid to meet them, afraid to hear their news. She turned and went alone to the other side of the camp. But maybe he was alive. Perhaps She came back.

 "You go." Nancy said. "I don't think can walk" You'll be all right!" Perfectly all right" The man hurried away on swift, panther steps. Nancy waited. The small rescuing party was so near. The voices came to her so plainly through the darkness. The world was so still. Were they bringing Arnold with them? Or were they bringing his body? Had he been alive, down thero on the bank where she lay uncon- scious in the tent? Or had he been dead? Had he worried about her, thinking she had perished? Now the little band was almost to her. Someone was flying on ahead.

A permanent wave won't take care of itself. Almost anything worth while needs attention af- ter you get it whether it be plant, new dress or a permanent wave.
 Sometimes permanents dry out the hair. If this should happen to you after you get your new wave, do something about it at once.
 The answer to the drying-out problem is a simple one. Oil your scalp and, if the dryness threat ems to become serious, oil your hair as well.
 There are oily tonics sold in beauty shops. The operator who gave you your permanent wave should advise you which one to choose if she has the faintest idea that your hair is getting dry and lifeless. If she thinks the condi- ton isn't serious and only tenn 1 porary dryness which will cease to exist after q couple of sham poos perhaps she'll want to spray your hair with brilliantine just be- fore she sets the wave after each shampoo.
 Permanents are not guaranteed to stay in the lovely waves you have after you get one. It stands to reason that the waves are going to

TRY MACARONI SALADS FOR A CHANGE IN SPRING MENUS

NEA Service Writer

If you yearn for something rath- CT out of e-ordinary, try a mac aroni salad or two for your late spring meals. These salads are hearty enough to be satisfying as main dish connections or they may be served as dinner salads when starchy foods are lacking in the menu.
 The cooking of macaroni for salads is most important because there must not be the slightest trace of stickiness or muohiness. Drop macaroni into plenty of boil
