Dear Miss Leeds-I am a gih 10
years old and am almost 6 feet tall. I
have good figure, wear my clothes be-
comingly, have a very good disposition,
an attractive face and I am not
clumsy. Everything about me seems

Please tell me how I can overcome this

Answer-You must face the fact
that you are very likely to spend your
life among people who are shorter
than you are, so adjust yourself to
the idea with good sense. You seem
to have plenty of beauty assets. more
than most girls: do the best you can
with these and stop worrying about
your height, which is beyond your

shorter by wearing two-piece effects in

Arthritis
and Causes
AsPrOblenls
BY JAMES w. BARTON, M. D.

1T IS believed that rheumatism is
= the oldest ailment known and yet
it IS responsible for more illness, more
loss of time from employment, than
any other known ailment.
In an effort to relieve the pain,
crippling and loss of employment,
physicians in every country are or
ganizing societies for the prevention
and treatment of rheumatism.
AS with every form of treatment
for any ailment, the importance Of
one method has been exaggerated,
with the pendulum swinging then too
much the other way. so also has it
been with the removal Of infected
teeth in treating rheumatism. So
dramatic were the cures of rheuma-
tism by removal of teeth and tonsils
that for time practically all cases
were advised to have teeth and ton
sils removed. As many of these cases
were not due to infected teeth or ton
sils, and in others too much damage
to joints had already been done, even
when the cause was teeth or tonsils,
the removal Of teeth and tonsils for
rheumatism fell into disfavor.
Now the truth Of the matter is that
infected teeth and tonsils are still
responsible for more cases than any
other single cause, but there are other
parts or organs Of the body that can
cause rheumatism by poisoning the
blood stream and these other organs
are often overlooked.
One of the xvorst offenders Is the
large intestine; it not only holds
poisons from other parts within it,
but also manufactures poisons of its
own, which, absorbed by the blood,
carry trouble to the joints Of the body
and rheumatism results. The gall
bladder is another source Of infection
causing rheumatism.
However, food is now considered q
factor, and the starch foods-potatoes
bread, sugar-are blamed for aggra-
waiting or prolonging rheumatic
symptoms.
The weather is an important factor;
when the atmospheric pressure is low
the rheumatic patients in hospitals
all complain bitterly Of pain and
misery"
That the form of employment Is q
factor is recognized, and 1t has been
said that each trade has its own
brand of rheumatism or arthritis.
When the patient is not overweight
it is believed that more huid-water-
should be taken to help the kidneys
rid the blood of waste products.

OfChildren
WhOAre Ill
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

BECAUSE of the contagious nature
Of such serious illnesses as measles
and scarlet fever, mothers have voiced
their belief that public schools should
protect pupils by sending home any
child who comes to school suffering
from q cold. Most children's diseases
start with what looks like q cold-so
that this procedure would help to pre-
vent the spread Of contagion.
Modern nursery schools and some
elementary schools have adopted .
policy Of this sort. Children are ex-
amined by q nurse when they arrive
and are allowed to remain only II
they show no detectable signs Of i'll
ness. It would mark an advance were
schools everywhere to adopt such
program.
But until such course Is universal,
why need the mother shift this burden
to the school? A mother knows by
the way q child looks, talks and acts
whether he Is on the road to an illness.
There seems no excuse or any defense
for her carelessness in allowing such
child to go to school.
II the illness does not materiahze,
well and good, the child can return to
school at the next session. II he Is on
the verge Of illness, It is unjust to send
him to school, and grave injustice to
force well children into contact With
him.
= There are many ways Of trans
hitting diseases but measles and scar
let fever are spread by the "droplet"
route. Persons harboring the germs
of measles or scarlet fever spread
them by talking, coughing or sneezing
and thus they scamper from person to
person.
Until the nature of q childs illness
is known, it Is just good sense to iso-
late him not only from his associates
but from members Of the family.
There is no longer even the weakest
foundation for that old-time belief
that 1t is better for children to have
the childhood diseases and be through
with than.

from the inner part of the bone, and
some of the bone tissue will be con-
verted into gelatin. The meat on
the bone will give up fat. minerals
and vitamin q. but retains most of
its protein values. Therefore. the
more meat that you have with the
bone, and serve with the stock, the
more food value there Is to the dish.
Also, naturally. the more concen-
trated the stock Is, the more health
full it is. A "wishy-washy" soup does
no good to any one, and Is only
waste Of the ingredients and fuel con-
sumed in its preparation. I can re-
member, years ago, when I was at
boarding school, we used to have q
soup which the girls christened
chicken steeplechase"-it was so
thin and watery that we maintained
chicken had simply passed through
the kettle of water in a big hurry.
That soup has always stayed in my
mind as being everything that q
soup should not.
When counting food values, you
must also consider the nutritive con-
tent of each vegetable that you add
to the soup, in addition to thinking
of its favoring qualities. A so-called
soup bunch" for instance, Is a good
idea for flavor, but is not big enough
to add much real substance Rice,
tomatoes. potatoes and cabbage are
all useful as good source of vitamin
values, and, when added in quantity
to the meat stock, produce a really
nourishing liquid.
REANS, lentils and peas add many
valuable elements to the stock. be-
cause they are concentrated foods,
and contain proteins and minerals.
A trick to vary the flavor of the
soup is to brown the vegetables in
fat before adding them to the liquid.
Rice is good, when treated In this
way, also barley.
The following basic recipe for max
ing a good stock is relatively inex-
pensive; when properly done and
cooled 1t will be a clear amber jelly
which can be kept in jars in the
refrigerator and melted down as
required. To this base may be added

the mainstay of the people of the Old
World-in the homes Of rich and poor
alike, a great soup kettle could be
found simmering quietly away on the
back of the stove.
The only difference really lay in the
quality of the ingredients from which
the strength of the stock was derived
in the great houses meat and vege-
tables, bought just for the soup pot,
were used; in the peasant kitchens
usually the left-overs-boneS. scraps
OF meat, vegetable parings and
greens, few dried beans, etc., were
tossed into the big kettle, to emerge
as a savory and delicious broth. This
soup, although Of coarser fundamen-
tails than the other, probably held
Just as much nourishment and vitamin
value, for the skins of the vegetables
and the green tops. as well as the
other bits, usually contain most of the
food value Of the plant.
X X X
HERE in this country, especially
"a in late years, when much of our
cooking had to be considered in terms
of fuel consumption. the soup pot
simmering all day has become almost
extinct. However. homemade stock,
cooked in modern manner, is indeed
an investment in food value. The
stock may be put to SO many uses,
for sauces, for aspic, for cream soups
and, if some one in the household is
suddenly taken Ill, clear amber soup,
either in jelly or piping hot, is a
wonderful help to have on hand.
To make sure that our soup is really
worth all the time and money ex-
pended upon it We should choose the
ingredients with care. AS our soup,
because Of fuel cost, cannot cook "a
hours or more, we must put into its
construction the things which will
give the greatest amount of nutritive
value for the least amount of money.
It Is for this reason that you have

that you may get the full value of

GOVERNOR USES
 VETO POWER ON HOUSE BILL 139
Chief Executive Explains Position in. Letter to
 Alaska Secretary

Gov John w. Troy today vetoed House bill 139, the pauper's oath measure, the only executive veto in the session just ended. In send ing the bill to the Secretary of Alaska without his signature, the Governor said:
 T did not sign this bill for two reasons: First, I do not believe it would be advantageous to those who invoke it's provisions to avoid the payment of fines. There is no doubt that courts would take into account in imposing sentence the circumstance that prisoners would be able to avoid the payment of a fine. They would naturally make larger jail sentences.
 Second, a peculiar setup which we have in Alaska provides that most of the costs of the courts is paid from Fund c which is eom- posed of fines and forfeitures. I do not believe in the principle of Fund c. think the Federal Government ought to appropriate enough mon- ey to run the courts in Alaska. However, it is condition and not theory that confronts us. Under the law as it exists, Fund c is an important source of necessary in come for the United States courts in the Territory. Under the circum- stances, good policy seems to in- dicate that we should encourage fines rather than jail sentences. House Bill Number 139 would en- courage jail sentences rather than fines"
 The bill would have allowed per- sons without means who had been sentenced to fine and imprisonment to be released from serving out their fine by taking pauper's oath.
