MEMPHIS, Tenn, April 5.-A e.
year-old Memphis girl, Willie Mae
Miller, dying, was abandoned by
physicians today so that she might
spend the remaining days Of her
life among her toys and little
friends, as happy as possible.
She is suffering leucocythemia,
perhaps the slowest but most GER
tain form of death known to medi-
cal science. The malady is over
production of white corpuscles,
soldiers of the body" which crowd
out the red, the corpuscles which
carry nourishment through the
blood stream.
For weeks the girl lay in hos
pital here while physicians hoped
for miracle. Physicians all over
the nation wanted to treat her, but
specialists here told ner parents
nothing could be done to save her
Take her home and let her be
happy until she goes away they
told her parents. 1T is the kindest
thing that can be done. 1t is the
only thing"

ITCH ENDED

The itch (scabies) is highly con-
tagious, if not treated it will continue
for life. 1t is not blood disease. but
is caused by the itch-mite, which bur-
rows and forms tOrturOus galleries
within the skin.
The itch-mite spreads rapidly and
is immune to ordinary treatment. The
PsOric institute has perfected a simple
treatment called EXSORA that kills
the itch-mite almost instantly, and rids
you of your trouble in three days.

baby cod liver oil in her orange juice?"
The reason is simple. Baby does like
orange juice and evidently doesn't like
cod liver oil. The first few doses may
go down smoothly-even babies can
be fooled temporarily-but after that
she would react to orange juice as she
now reacts to cod liver oil, and would
dislike and reject both with equal
vehemence.
Dlsagreeable emotional states may
color the child's feeling for foods. The
child who is punished before meal
time may dislike forever the foods
served at the eubsequent meal. .Appe-
tites may be affected at all meals, If
it is the mothers practice to do the
days scoldlng at mealtimes when the
child can't get away. Too much talk
about foods, their goodness, badness,
necessity for eating, and what not, is
enough to affect the emotions of chill
dren toward foods in general. They

obtained by following the directions
at the end of the column Once you
have this you can get to work. You
will notice that no seam allowances
are made in the pattern as given
That means you must allow one-quar-
ter inch on all sides for seams. II you
want to piece the center block you
may cut four pieces as shown in the
sheet or you may cut a five-inch
square instead. There is less work of
course, if you cut the square. But
the small pieces may be better with
the material you have on hand.
This pattern is an all-over one and
Is best carried from end to end and
from side to side of the quilt.
The drawing shows a striped piece
of material for the one part of the
pine burr but this is not advisable
unless the strip is so fine it is almost
lost in the piece A small all-over
patterned print is better. BE sure the
material is color-fast.
Bind the edge of quilt and use the
same kind of material for the back
as Is used for the plain part of the
top. Then the two wear and launder
alike. This is good quilt for a man
or boys ROOM
The actual pattern for Pine Burr quilt
design may be obtained by sending 3 cents
and self-addressed. stamped envelope

Back patterns may be secured by send
ing an additional 3 cents for each pattern

The nice thing about a woman is
that she will not stop telling you
about her troubles long enough for
you to tell about yours. This has the
advantage of making you appear as
an optimist in her eyes.
Under some conditions a man can
make more noise in the world by
keeping his mouth shut than in any
other way.

young man that all the world loves

Weddings
BY EMILY POST.

II IAsAAAA
DEAR MRS. POST: was mar
ried several months ago and We
had planned at that time to keep the
wedding a secret until the Summer.
I am living with my family and my
husband with his in the adjoining
State. Accidentally copy Of the
marriage license appeared in his
town paper, and, of course, every one
there knows about it. So far no one
here has said one word. I want
mother to send out announcements
to his friends now, and then next
Summer to send out the others.
Mother does not think this plan
would do."
Answer-I agree with your mother
that it would not do at all to tell his
friends and not your own. The only
thing to do now IS to make the an
nouncement to every one.
MY dear Mrs. Post: I can sew
very we'll and have lots of spare time
right now. For this reason l would

several of my girl friends tell me
there is a bad-luck omen on the
bride who sews on her own wedding
dress and veil. Is this true?'
Answer-On the contrary. the bride
of long ago always put stitches of
bright hopes" into her bridal raj
ment.
Dear Mrs. Post: Because Of a
death, recently, in the family of my
fiance, we are going to be married
with no one present except the imme-
diate families. I know some of our
friends are going to feel left out,
especially those who don't know of
this sorrow, and for this reason
would like to write notes to those I
care too much about to hurt. Would
such a plan be outside the pale Of
good taste?"
Answer-Such notes are hard to

EEPER THE HYLA had spent
most of his time singing ever
since he had wakened from his
Winter sleep and that had
been very soon after the ice
had left the Smiling Pool. On some
days it had been too cold to do more
than pipe a few notes, but as day by
day it had grown warmer, his happi-
ness had increased, and from happi-
ness comes the desire to sing. So
pepper and his relatives in the Smil-
ing Pool had kept up a joyous chorus
for several weeks, especially at night.
And then late one afternoon a new
voice had been added, a trill that
caused Pepper to cock his head and
listen.
1T is Cousin Stickytoes" exclaimed
pepper. THE lazy fellow Is awake at
last"
His bright eyes caught a movement
in the water not far away. He eyed
it suspiciously, for any movement in
the water was to be regarded with
suspicion by sucn tiny fellow as
pepper. Then he saw with relief an
other Frog, also little fellow. but
twice his own size. 1t was Stickytoes
the Tree Frog, who is commonly
called Tree Toad, just why I don't
know, for he is not Toad at all. He
stopped close by pepper and trilled.
Hello, Cousin Stickytoes," cried
pepper. II had begun to think that
you were never going to wake up"
Hello, Cousin Pepper" replied
Stickytoes. II don't like cold water
as well as you do. I've been waiting
for it to warm up 1t is just right
now. 1t makes fellow feel like sing
ing" He swelled out his throat and
trilled.
pepper nodded approvingly Doesn't
it?" said he, and swelled out his own
music bag.
II suppose you have been awake for
some time" said Stickytoes.
pepper nodded. "Of course" he re-
piled. THE fact is we Peppers will be
leaving the Smiling Pool before long.
That is. We groWn-upS will. OF course.
it will be little later when the chill
dren are big enough to leave, but they
don't sing. So if you had waited much
longer we wouldn't have had your
voice in the chorus and we needed it. !"
Thank you," said Stickytoes. 1T

Speaking of being wanted" replied
pepper, Il have an idea that fellow
over there wants both of U.s." He
nodded toward the edge of the shore.

direction.

Chi|d's Food
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

ONE unnecessary problem Of the
" mothers own making is to arouse
the childs dislike for certain foods.
One of my childish experiences was
the infrequent consumption of castor
oil, served in cold coffee. because it
supposedly killed the taste of the oil.
What it did kill was my ability to
drink coffee that is in the least COOL
ish. To this day, it tastes to me ex-
actly like castor oil.
My own children, when i'll, were
given mild laxatives carefully con-
cealed in spoonfuls of oatmeal. My
daughter remarked the other day that
It had taken her years to live down
the associated taste of oatmeal and a
rather nicely favored laxative tablet
which used to be enormously popular
for children.

n famed in the records Of the
II conquest Of the air. He was
1 ahead of his time," but he
served as sturdy pioneer.
His name was Walter Wellman, and
he was born In Mentor, Ohio, in 1858.
For 81 years of his life he was a re-
porter for a Chicago newspaper, much
of the time acting as Washington cor
respondent.
The dream of reaching the North
Pole was in his mind, and in 1894 he
went into the Arctic and reached a
point farther north than Spitzbergen.
Four years later, he led a party to
Franz Josef Land and went to 81 de-
grees north latitude.
Those were good journeys for that
period; but Wellman was not content.
Instead of struggling on foot, or
using dog teams. why not fly to the
North Pole?" he asked.
Being a man of action, as we'll as
man of thought, he laid plans for
an air journey, and by 1907 was the
happy master of a great airship, the
America. With a length of l85 feet,
with bag which would hold $4,000
cubic feet of gas, and with a TO
horsepower engine, the America
seemed ready to brave the polar
wastes; but when launched at SpitZ-
bergen 1t met with strong winds and
snowstormS, and only good work by
the pilot kept it from being destroyed.
During a later trial the America
flew IL miles beyond Spitzhergen
with Wellman and three others on
board, but the breaking Of the guide
rope made the adventures decide to
turn back.
When Wellman learned that Ad-
miral Peary had reached the North
Pole, he gave up his attempts to fly
far to the north; bat he caused his
airship to be rebuilt, SO that it would
have a length of 22S feet and would
hold more gas.
With the larger craft, Wellman and
five comrades set forth on an October
morning in 1910 with the purpose of
! crossing the Atlantic. Leaving At
lantic City. they few $50 miles north
east until they were above Marthas
Vineyard. Soon afterward they were

! Two days later the steamer Trent
received wireless call for aid. Rush
ing to the scene, the steamer found
the airship helpless over the waves,
375 miles out at sea. Engine trouble
and the cooling of the gas at night
had led to disaster. The men were

fact that you are merely being mar
