In a large number of reports on the effects of anvlntlmal ration or vitaIMins given as q supplementary measure in the treatment Of var iOus nutrItiOnal disorders, have noticed several striking observations of the patients themselves, who de- clarCd that they had recovered much of the hearing they had lost.

SYNOPSIS

GALE HENDERSON, pretty and g, works in n silk mill. Sine and her fD.ycaF-Old brother, PHIL, support their Invalid father.
 STEVE MEYERS, who also works In the milf, asks Gale to zssaFry him. She promises to give Ehkfm m answer ln Q few days.
 0aIc goes skating, breaks through fine fec and is rescued by BRIAN WESTMOIfE, whose father, now dead, built the mill. Brian has come home after two years ln Paris to enter the mill. Gale disappears before he can learn her name.
 VICKY THATCHER, daugh- ter Of ROBERT THATCHER, general manager of the mill, schemes to cnptivnte Brian.
 Gale and Steve quarrel, later nake up.
 Sunday Brian calls and per- gtIades Gale to go for hike. They stop to rest and suddenly Brian takes the girl in his arms. He tells her nc loves Icr. On the way home they see WALLY | CARTIER, friend of Brlan's. Later that night Brinn encoun- fers Wally again. Vicky is pres ent. Wally says, "Brian, who was that snappy number I saw you with this aftcrnOOn?"
 CHATTER XXxI
 Brian, lighting cigaret, did not answer Wally for n moment. Then he said, T suppose you think I'd give away my secrets to gay dog like you? Not likely"
 A t,,l I wrapped around her head like a the nerve! Maybe Vicky is the prettiest girl in the room but do the rest of us have to hear about 1t ali the time? Give us break, can't you?'
 "Aw. now, Madge--."
 And only last night" put in q contralto voice." "he was telling me about my fawlcss beauty. Wally Wally, you've ruined my faith in men!"

 The Rood-natured pickering went on. Only Vicky said nothing. She sat, very still and white. looking down at the silver bracelet on her wrist, lingering the bracelet me chanically. The voices of the others flowed around her. Vicky did not seem to hear them, to know they were there.
 Brian asked quietly, "why 80 silent. Vicky?"
 She raised her head then, met his eyes. 'Tt's-my head" she said, drowning slightly. It's aching fear fully"
 Shall we lcave?"
 Vicky hesitatcd. Then she said, T believe I'd like to if you don't mind"
 "Pll drive you home" he said Five minutes later they were out side. Brian helped her into the co1pe and she leaned back, brcath- in1 deeply. The fresh, cool air struck her face. Vicky closed her eyes as Brian shifted into first and the car moved down the driveway. Presently she opened them again. She said. "I feel better already. It was so stufYy at the club"
 Brian nodded, "Yes, 1t was" he agreed. Are you sure you're warm enouRh?"
 "Oh. yes" The collar of her fur coat had slipped 10 one side and she drew 1t into place. She said, Let's not go home just yet. This at1 seems to be just what I needed. Let's drive out on the Morley Road"

NEWER KNOWLEDGE OF
 NEUlsITlS

Bcriberi Gin Ceylon this word means extreme weakness) IS a de- fciency disease occurring in trop- | teal countries but occasionally In this country. Another name for 1t Is poly-neuritls or multiple neuri- tls. The cause is lack of vitamin E in diet. The cure is addition or foods rich In vitamin E or admin istration of vltamin E as medicine.
 Multiple neurltis in this country Is more commonly seen In persons who have been hard drinkers. Heretofore the condition has been assumed to be due to alcoholic pol soning. Recently, however, clinical experience, which, after all, Is the best medical authority, has taught us that hypovitaminosis Is an im- portant factor if not the cause Of multiple neuritis Tn inebriates. Heavy drinkers are notoriously poor caters; that is. when on q bout they desire little or no food. so long as they can get plenty or liquor, and not only do they lack appetite for food but they arc likely to vomit if they do try to eat. Thus they fail to get the vita min systemic functions. and nutri- ton fails. So that the consequence Is much the same as in the devel- opment of beriberi in the orient on diet of polished rice.
 A peculiar mental disorder oc- curing in habitual drinkers and in some other kinds of chronic intOx- icatIon Is called korsakow's psy- chosis. This Is not delirium trc- mons, but rather n less violent con- fusion. 1t is often associated with poIyneuritis. This psychosls, to, re- spends to vitamin therapy.
 Much of the so-cnlled "neuritis" of the wiseacre iaity is not ncurltis at all There Is q fashion with half- infofmcd or mislnformed people. calling their vague aches or pains "ncuritis' instead of calling them "rhcumatism." and the fashionable term means no moro than the old term did.
 I cannot speak ns positively about simple neuritis. as yet, but from browsing about l have gained the impression that q partial de- ficiency of one or more vitnmins may be an important factor If not the cause of simple neuritis In many cases of obscure character. offer this suggestion merely as a hint, Take 1t or leave 1t, In any case 1t can do no harm to make the therapeutic tcst-that iB, to take an optimal vitamin ration for n month or two and sec whether improved nutrition will not bring relief to tho neurltis OG course the proper remedies for neuritis due to lead, arsenic or other specific con- | ditions should not be neglected -- vitamln tbcrapy should always be supplementary.
 Several years ago I received q series Of striking reports from readers who declared they had ex- perienccd great benefit from the | liberal use of wheat germ instead Of ordinary flour. Wheat germ or embryo is discarded from flour as

A present came to the door via the pogtman recently, a little book on birds sent to me by the author Mrs. Claire Harris Macintosh who lives far away in the land Oi Evangeline.
 "Attune With Spring in Aca- die" is it's title and 1t comes at . time when I long 50 for birds Gas always in waning February) that it's merry little verses arc d0ubly welcome.
 The birds had a party:
 And in the center, on the ground
 was luscious, tempting food Upon which many of them gazed
 In most impatient mood. Nice juicy worms and grain and
 Fine beetles large and fat. Which pewees and the kingbirds ate
 Nighthawks preferred the gnat. The martins loved the dragon flies,
 The redwings ate the snails, The cheery robins spiders had,
 Marsh-weeds were there for
 rails.
 cannot mention all the birds
 Nor all they ate that day; You'd want the same, tho served,
 perhaps,
 In quite a different way"
 Cold Pcrils Early Birds
 Outside my window l have al- ready heard the robin and the red bird, my beloved cardinal. The cardinals, l suspected, stayed ali winter, as these "Kentucky'' birds have gradually worked up fro n, their southern haunts with the years. When we have a very cold day in winter I wonder what the birds are doing. throw out Leed on the porch roofs and the spar rows come in swarms.
 Who would save a sparrow ? We'll, would. And sometimes chickadees come too. Other birds will find the granary soon. T h e only birds do not love are the starlings. Perhaps if we had cuckoos here I would not love them either. But to mo bird is q bird.
 There Is still some winter ahead. Many venturesome birds come too soon from the gu n n y south encouraged by mild wealth CT. They need our help. a little bread or suet or seed. Please don't let them starve.
 The best way to get the chil- dren interested - and make boys with air rifles and shotguns bird conscious and therefore humane lis to begin a little homo course on birds. Ance children study them they love them. Every child should have ono bird to his self.
 No ono could ever hear an or- iole or meadow-lark sing and then kill 1t, or any other bird, 1 believe. Records of bird songs in schools arc the best propaganda l know. But all birds are not musicians. As Mrs. Macintosh sayf there are carpenters, acrobats, aeronauts, beauty-contestants and musicians.
 Spring Is coming. Now is the best time of the year to look up their habits and songs. And l want to thank all the boys and girls who have made birdhouses this last year. No doubt millions of tiny livese have been saved by such thoughtfu1ness

f.--It is one cause, but scientists arc debating whether or not It is the chief cause. Dr. Leta Holliny- worth has submitted evidence that 1t is chiefly because the par ents Of gifted children are them selves usually of high intelligence and therefore usually able to sup port their children in school. No q o u bt this, is a frequent cause. DTS. stuart M. Stoke and Harvey c. Lehman, phsych0iogists of Ohio university, submit strong evi. dence that the z reat majority Cf gifted children come from mod est, even poor homes. They show in one large university over onc- half of the gifted seniors cpTfie from homes with less than s2,O0O income before tBle depression. On their evidence we can hardly as- sume that anything like aIl tlle briIllant children in the country have parents wealthy enough to sepa them without aezistsnns.

To dye or not to dye is n prob lem that every woman faces the minute she notices her first gray hair. Her wish to remain young looking urges her to have the white locks touched up to match the strands that haven't turned. At the same time, her dcbire to look na- tural holds her back.
 Sooner or later. however. she has to make decision and. gem erally speaking. it's pest to make 1t at once. If she is going to dye her hair at all, it's much more sensible to do 1t right away so that no one will be conscious of a sudden change.
 Not that using dye on your hair is anything to be ashamed of. l think you should view this par ticular beauty routine in the same light as rouge on the cheeks to supply color nature didn't put there. polish on the nails or any other artince that improves your appearance. The only thing you should worry about is whether or not you are covering up the gray locks in thorough and haterinE manner.
 The best way, of course. is to have the job done by profession al beauty operator. Select a reli- able shop and insist that only the very best dye Is used on your hair. Don't try to change the color fo the hair that hasn't turned. Mere ly see that the white strands are dyed to match 1t.
 Make your appointments at reg ular intervals. Nothing is worse than hair that fig touched up only once every two months. You should have 1t done at least every two weeks-oftcncr If your hair grows rapidly,
