i, knock them unconscious and then let nature takes it's course. AS soon as you get that interpretive mind off from the colon or the liver or | whatever it may be, recovery sets in, provided you keep careful watch and prevent any further interfer- ence with nostrums, funny diets or morbid intestinal baths. In any case where a patient has selected his own diet or long avoid ed this and that type of food which he considered difficult to digest'' or "full of gas' or "acid" or likely to cause "autointoxication," more | or less avitaminosis is bound to de- velop, and so it is exceedingly help full for such persons to take a mod crate vitamin ration from time to time, especially when they are rest. ing from other treatment.
 One can mix one's own vitamin ration, with a dash of this and that vitamin concentrate. but this is rather troublesome and expen- sive. tI is simpler and satisfactory to choose one of the vitamin com binations for the purpose. | McCarrison observed striking absence of gastric and duodenal ul- cer and appendicitis among the natives in the Himalayas and as- cribed it to their vitamin-rich food milk, eggs, fresh vegetables and greens.
 There are now many observa- tions from clinical practice to sup port the belief that an adequate vitamin ration is valuable if not essential for the cure of peptic ul- cer and perhaps for the prevention of other common digestive dis eases.

PARIS STYLES
By MARY KNIGHT

Paris. (UP)-Canel, Schiaparelli and vionent all have shown . great likeness for satin in black. pink, eggshell and white.
 The Princess Carla Boncom- pagni wears gowns on the slen- der draped line in. satins of these shades and preferably with boat shaped neckllnes held in place by cyisp. Princess Pic has some Chanel things with tight-fitting bodices and peplum effects at the hops. Dora and Eva Khayatt of Alexandria, who are coming to New York this winter, wear white and pink satin, epidemis-fitting la Chanel, while the Countess de Fon- tanar, who is very young and very slim and very blond, wears the same but a la Schiaparelli. Mrs Dorland Doyle swerves to vionnet satins, well-draped and biased.
 One of the prettiest lace dresses of the moment belong to Lady Burton--an American by the way, who is the wife of Sir Pomeroy Burton-and is incrusted black lace on black julie with bodets on the skirt and others floating from the shoulders, of plain julie. A large black lace handkerchief com pletes the outfit.

S52 YOUR CHILDREN
By Clws Robsets BsrsoN
4lsSt kZNZH sE6EIEz lllE


 children have an uncenny sense, or sensitiveness' aDou'
 believe we can do more harm Ito d child by making him wear fine wrong things than we can lcompensate for in lifetime. He does not crave finery or the latest style. Almost the opposite. He is even complacent In tears
 His two vulnerable points are .conspicious and unusual clothes or having things noticeably too large for him. He likes to be one of the crowd. lff all the children wear sweaters, he will feel first rate in 9 sweater. He won't want 1t down to his knees and finger-nails and ne won't want 1t any color the other children will make fun of. But he won't suffer if 1t gets old or even ragged.
 If he wears 1t day in and out, il won't bother him much. He Is pretty well satisfied to bear the | brunt of his own usage. Patches Only Hurt If COnspiciOus Patch those elbows with a too contrasting shade and he won't want to put it on. Patch it or darn it with something he con- siders right; and he will be utterly unconcerned.
 Children are funny. They like | to be in it. Sometimes this urge is stronger than the one to be in- conspicious. They like to follow fads. If there is a dash of red tams, for instance, a girl will rummage for a family cast-off and wear 1t even though it is sizes too big.
 As a rule they hate to wear clothes not bought or made for them. That first day or two of explaining the source is just too much. In this day of flat purses it is almost compulsory to dress the youngsters as best we may and the box from Aunt Sue is about the most welcome sight or earth.
 But children dread those boxes. If there is a snug little blue coat that fits-well, that isn't so bad. But let it be gawky, through trim med in sable and lined with satin, and watch the next heir edge away to the door. Better strip 1t bit and turn up hems and take in seams.
 What to Tell Them to Say?
 What shall we tell children to say when asked where they got such and such dress or suit? The truth is better. Yet, 1t hurts. But if he fibs about 1t he will always feel more -uncomforta- ble than if he Cor she) spills out the facts at once. As it happens, every one is passing around clothes to each other these days. Two men swapped suits not long ago, as each was tired of his own and it made a change for both.
 However, is children are so sensitive, it is better to pay some heed to their wishes.
 They dislike buttons off. They don't mind darns but perfer tears to startling patches. They don't mind things too tight or too short but hate them too long. They prefer a ten-cent eye-cup of a hat to a ten dollar beaver if it looks too much. They like to be in the swim. Each has preference of color. If none of the children at school wear certain colors, don't think yours will pioneer for you. They just won't.

DORMITORY EVENING CLOTHES COMBINE STYLE AND WARMTH
 
BY MARIAN YOUNG

fNEA Service Stan COrkpea0nQF4<I New Filmy negligees and nightgowns that are mere WieNr of silk aEd satin are all very well for girls who live I'm city houses or steam -heated apartments. How ever, the gay young miss who goes to boarding school or sleepD tn G college dormitorY (they'ro notor- iously coolish), simply must have bedtime outfits that keep her warm when winter winds rush In through open windows.
 Time was when the mere mem tion of warm pajamas and uight- gowns conjured up vivid mental pictures of those practical but ugly little numbers that your mother put on you when you were seven. Nowadays, all that i1 changed. Any smart young wonn- an can find warm pajamas that are just as chic as they are com fortable.
 There are lovely knitted wool en pajamas--soft as silk, easy fo
 wash and fiattering to the figure.
 They come in heavenly pastel
 shades and often are shown with tailored bathrobes to match. Bath ed too. If you're tired of the | ubiquitous double-breasted, man. ubiquitous d etaoinntinu tailored varieties, look for one with a round neckline and an Ascot tie. Have it's pocket mono grammed with fancy initials i'm
 stead of plain, conservative ones. Then, too, there are nice mod- els of knitted cotton that retain their shape, require no ironing and really have debonair look about them that's sure to please
 slim young things. One particu-
 larly becoming creation of this ! type Is sketched here at the left. Made of washable ribbed cotton
 in an all-over tuck stitch, these | beautiful one-piece pajamas in a soft shell pink color have no but tons to come off in the laundry and no elastic to stretch out of shape. The drop seat is held up by a decorative sash of self ma- | terial. The neckline is finished with a frilly Ascot and the trOsi- sers are fastened tightly about the ankles by means of knitted bands. | There's a knee-length, swagger breakfast coat to wear with them. It has a high collar and two con- venient patch pockets.
 The other youthful pajamas
 (right) are two-piece, extremely l tailored and made of fiat, close interlocked knit cotton. The blouse
 is blue and white striped - the
 sleeve bands, collar, belt and trou-
 sers are plain white.

Sister Marys Kitchen
BY MARY E. DAGUE NEA Service Staff Writer

There's not Former country girl among, us, likely, who hasn't happy memories of nutting parties in sweet-smelling autumn woods, with leaves turning into glory or
 russet and yellow all around and the air crisp with promise of frosts. Nuts were a, treat in those days and they still are, even though they may be bought by the box,
 salted, unsalted, spiced or how. ever. Good as these are, still like to do my own sometimes, es- pecially when I'm having a party of people who don't get much
 home-cooking.
 There are three ways to salt nuts you may roast them in the oven, pan-fry or fry them in deep fat. For all except peanuts the roast ing produces a crisper, tenderer nut than the other methods. Nuts with tough outer skins, al-
 monds, for instance, must be blanched after shelling and before salting.
 Blanching Nuts To blanch nuts, pour boiling wa ter to more than cover them and let let stand five or ten minutes or until the skins slip off easily. Drain and cover with cold water. Rub or pinch off the skins, Drain
 as thoroughly as possible in col ander and then spread on a dry linen towel; place another over several hours.
 Peanuts for salting should be bought unroasted.
 r,sI h..ffnr ertunS tho delicate flavor to the nuts, al- though any good cooking Oil usual | ly is used for deep-fat frying. But ter or a butter substitute is excel
 lent for roasting. To prepare nuts for roasting. paint the inside of a bowl with oil or Melted butter. Put few nuts in the bowl and shake
 until each nut Is lightly coated with fat. Continue adding fat as necessary until all the nuts are coated. but use as little fat as pos sible.
 Spread prepared nuts on bak- ing pan and roast in a moderately
 slow oven. $50 degrees FL until
 a delicate brown. It will take about twenty minutes. The dry
 ness of the nuts before coating de- termines the length of time 1t will take to roast them.
 Sprinkle evenly but sparingly
 with salt. stirring with fork. There should be a distinct salt flavor, but no vestige of a crust of
 salt on the nut. Try 1-2 teaspoon
 salt to one cup of nuts and add
 more if individual taste demands it..
 Instead of fat. egg white can be used Beat the white slightly and
 paint the bowl with it. Add nuts

SYNOPSIS

When DAN BLiEHWEU, uub- Msler of Inc Blade, learns that
 CHARLES MOHDHN. police re-. :. porter, has been n1Ysferfously killed he determines to employ SIDNEY GRIEF, famous crinaz in0logist, 10 so1ye the murder.
 MOrden had been assigned to learn nlI he could about FRANK B. QATHAX, wealthy ana prom inenty who had threatened to sue The Blade because the newspa- per reported CatFlay had been arrested. Later ft was proven that the man hrested, givii1w fine name of UathaY and accom-. panied by girl called MARY BRIGGS, was an impOstor. The Aade published q retractfOn.
 Then MOEdem is found dend and q few hours later comes news that Cathay is dead--pos- sibly poisoned.
 sidney Grin undertakes the case. He calls on Cafl1ay's d0c- tors and his lawyer CHARLES EISHER. Later Grin goes to see MRS CATHAY. When he telIs her of M0rden's death she faints, Grin leaves, saying to the taxi driver, "Get me to . public tele- mmnUH-
 CHAPTER XIV
 The cab driver drove at high speed down the winding road which led from the big Cathay home to the nearest through bou- levard. He pulled in before drug store and held the door of the car open.
 . Sidney Grin entered the drug store, put through a long distance call to Dan Blocker of The Blade.
 The woman in the case" he said, "has employed Carl Racine of the Racine Detective Bureaii. She ordered up her car for him. to take him to the city. She is ob. viously very much frightened. 1t would probably be advisable for you to have two of your best men waiting along the boulevard. I believe that you are familiar with her car and can give the men d description of 1t. Doubtless some of your reporters know Racine per- sonally. When he passes have them drop in behind and see if they can follow him. I think he has been sent upon Q mission of the great est importance--a mission which requires some skill and daring to handle. Racine was hostile when met him."

 Approximately 15 minutes ago"
 The road will be covered" I" Blocker said. '.We. have just re- ceived assurances from the author ities at Riverview that an autopsy will be ordered"
 Griff gave a low whistle.
 You must" he said, "have ex- erted considerable pressure"
 We did," said Blocker, but we received unexpected reinforce ments from a confidential com- munication made to the author ities by one of the physicians iE. the case. It represented a complete change of attitude on his part since an earlier interview. was wondering if, perhaps your pres ence in Riverview had been re- sponsible for the physicians change of attitude"
 Sidney Grin laughed.
 My presence in Riverview," he said "has been responsible for a lot of things. I'm playing human checkers. I'll see you this evening"" Smiling, he slid the receiver gently back on the hook. His face was alert, the eyes narrowed, wary and watchful.
 There were two parchment shaded lamps burning in the room but the glow they gave was sub- dued. Sidney Grin, attired in loung ing suit and long wooden bathrobe, stared into the spiraling smoke

If there's any doubt in your mind as to the value of limberinE and stretching as we'll as reducing exercises, you have only to look at the figures of professional dancers The girls who entertain you on stage and screen, whether they are in a large chorus or out front do-' ing speciality routines, always prac-E tice not only their actual dancing steps but various exercises that keep figures trim, muscles supple.
 For instance, one exercise that members of the famous Albertina| Rasch ballet do consistently strengthens the muscles of the ab-s domen, makes the back Timber and graceful and actually reduces tho legs. You can practice 1t in your own home. Here are the directions:
 Stand erect with heels together and arms at your sides. RaisluG the arms 10 shoulder level in front of you and keeping the legs togeth-' CT, bend the knees.

 Said Dotty, ''My, but that was quick. As loaders, you are pretty slick. All of your work is done, now, so it's time for you to stop."
 One baker answered, That suits me! The loading tired me out, you see. Now Dobbin's set to pull the wagon into town. He's strong.
 "You'll see him go right down the road, cen though he has a heavy load. Before he goes, what say we sing merry little song.
 "Say, would you Tinies like to hear the baker quartet? Never fear, we will not rive you all away. In fact. we're pretty good"
 "You bet we would" cried Cop py. "Go ahead and stage your little show" So, in group four of the little bakers promptly stood.
 Soon, through the air their voices rang. Here is the clever song they sang: "Now, hark, you

 From morn till night we work away. Then, when we're through it's time for play. The best play that we know of is to sing. It's really fun!
 "Now, we have had our little song. We've let our voices ring out strong. It's time for you to clap, now. cause our little song is done."
 The Tinies clapped like every thing, and Goldy said, You sure can sing!" A baker then cried, "Now I'll drive to town, if you don't mind"
 He hopped aboard the little cart and, as the bunch saw him depart, they were surprised to see wee Duncy hanging on behind. Copyright 1884 NEA Service, Incl
