A. AS a rule constipation can
be treated by adjusting the
formula, by giving such articles
of diet as prune pulp, whole
grain cereal and green vegeta-
bles and by establishing regular
habits of elimination. The
doctor should be consulted for
advice on diet regulation. Until
dietary treatment can be estab-
lished temporary measures, such
as a soap stick or enema, may
be used. Strong cathartics
should never be given except on
the doctors advice.

"Oodles" of Joy
in Birthday Cake

A birthday cake is one of the good
things to eat which children always
expect at a birthday party. 1t is the
main feature of refreshments. There
is something so gala about it, sur
rounded as it is with lighted can
0les, few. but full of significance
When one is young, there is a proud
feeling of Importance when candles
are many, which is entirely lost in
later years.
Sponge and Angel Cake.
Simple sponge cake is just the
kind to have for a youngsters birth
day. 1t is easily digested, and nour-
ishing. Angel cake is another good
kind. Avoid layer cakes. A top
frosting supplies enough sugary
sweetness. and this frosting should
not be too thick. But let it be gay
with name and dates.
Layer Cake.
For a child about twelve years old
or in the teens, rich cake can be
used and it can have layers. The
name and dates are not so important,
but the candles continue to be. Fun
is instilled into the party refresh
ments If tiny favOrs are baked in
the cake, the sort of favors that come
just for such purposes. Be sure to
tell the young folk that there are
favors so that they will be on the
lookout for them and not bite hard
on them. Each favor is supposed to
have meaning. A wee boat or train
signifies a trip, ring means mar.
riage, a thimble indicates an old
maid, dime means riches, etc.

CHAPTER ~
A Duel That Led TO Unexpected
Difficulties.

OiHicuItIeS.
THE venerable General Ward. in
command of the right wing at
Roxbury, had lately met his former
friend. General Gage, on the Neck
for a conference regarding a pro-
posed exchange Of prisoners. There
he had issued passes good for twen-
ty-four hours to young Harry Gage
and three of his friends to come
through the lines on the day of the
Dorset wedding. The rash young
man had abused the privilege thus
accorded him. With the conniyance
of Philip Dorset, three sturdy young
loyalists in Roxbury were hired TO
aid him In the wild adventure he had
planned.
Impatiently Colin waited. The
dusk was turning into darkness. He
hlled his pipe and opened his box
or flint and tinder. While striking
the flint suspicion fell into his idle
mind. 1t was like a pebble Drop
ping on the still surface of a pond.
Suddenly the quiet water was stir

road, like that of some drunken rev.

had caught a note that alarmed
him. He checked his effort to light
the pipe. He put 1t and the box
in his pocket. Again that long. ring
ing cry. He recognized the piercing
triumphant yell of Amos Farms
worth. He had heard it at the end
of the wrestling bouts. What was
the meaning of it? Was Amos in
trouble? Colin answered with a
long shout that slashed through the
silence like a trumpet blast.
He decided to mount his mare and
hasten TO the Dorsets'. He went to
her side. The saddle girth was
hanging loose. 1t had been cut. A
man stepped toward him, sword in
hand. saying. You are my prison

He found by experiment, for in

A reduction Of daylight also

In conclusion, DR.. Bessey de-
