 mystery 1t was.
 Thus it is the first-born who comes in for experiment and an excess of training. The reasons are obvious. Quite often 1t Is Q disadvantage instead of an ad- vantage. New pink satin cover lets, new books, new toys and everything cannot compensate for too many experiments, extremes of training and what not. think 1t an advantage to be a second or third child, if not the sixth. They are freer to work out their own salvation. There is not only dan- ger of the first getting too much. but of his perpetual place in the sun being embarrassing and bur- den. Too much chance of having his life all "fixed' for him.

When wrote that the elder
 child received most of the ben- efits in the home, the article
 brought more protests from older sisters and brothers than almost
 any other one I have written. Didn't I know, asked the chor- us, that the oldest in any family
 had to shoulder the burdens of the
 younger? First-born sister told how she had to stay in and look after the baby ct night. How she
 was always picked on to do the
 dishes, run the errands and bathe Bobby and Sue before bed time. Brother Who Came Before . the-Rest inquired of me who had to rake the leaves, clean the gar-
 age, scrub the car, haul the gro-
 ceries and even earn penny to help buy the baby shoes? And then these indignant prox- ies for parents told how they help- ed to rear the younger fry, how in many cases they worked to edu- cate them and sacrificed their own hopes and happiness to see Q less- CT light go far, while unsung and
 unthanked they remained in obli- vion.
 Responsibility Beyond Years All of which I knew. It just
 happened that I did not make the
 qualifying paragraph strong
 enough when I wrote. In truth l
 did not mean it so. No one knows
 any better than I the thankless
 job of the too-burdened child who
 by virtue of a year or two has to
 assume responsibility beyond his
 years.
 One of my favorite stories is
 that about the mother of two
 small boys, one five and one two,
 who went away to find better air
 for the sickly baby. Mother wrote home: "I am disappointed in Billy (five) because he won't help
 me and does not seem to be able
 to take any responsibility at all" This, I think, is bit typical of the attitude of some parents toward the older child.
 But to put at the end of this ar ticle what should have come first. I believe that the same taken that puts the older child ahead in the parents mind, places him in a class apart from the others. Not in affection perhaps, because what parent could choose between those born to them? It happens, of course, but that is another sub- feet.
 The first child is . novelty. Par ents thrill over the first doll or train or bicycle: the first horse the baby sees, the first word he speaks and the first step taken. His school life is planned from the cradle and often his career. He, it is, for whom Grandma starts a lltae nest egg.

Now first, I must compliment your good taste, in not forcing his attentions. You see New England men are vastly different In matters of the heart and their method of approaching the girl of their dreams, than are men of the South, New York, or most Afieri- cans. New Englanders, still cling to traditions; the men have not changed their ideals of femininity one Dit, since the days of Priscilla, and John Alden. Of course, this mag seem too quaint: but Sunda- mentally, it is true. I've seen promising yornas1ces land on the rocks, by merely c slight advance by the girl. So, Miss Ropsisss, the wisest course for you to pursue, is to wait till the opportunity pre- sents itself, for an introduction. See if you may not know some lziti- tual friend of both of you.

CHAPTER xxIv


 When Sandy asked her to marry him, Jean looked at him for { long time without replying. Ther she said slowly, Sandy = I'm ar awful coward"

 well" she faltered, then went on. T = I just couldn't become ( mans wife when Q thing like thii this Oklahoma mixup was stil hanging over his head. I couldn't Sandy. Don't you see? A mar riage would be too - too uncertain that way"
 She looked at him anxiously. Ht nodded agreement.
 "Sure, I see," he said. T don't : blame you for feeling that way. But listen; suppose that gets all cleared up, like Mir. Montague says 1t will Will you, then?"
 There was another long pause Jean tried to stand of and get q look at her feeling for Sandy against this new background of Ma plehurst rather than the old one of Dover; she tried to remember that 1t was Bobby she was supposed to be in love with, and not Sandy; but none of 1t was much use. She was only conscious of his com- polling masculine presence beside her, of his arm across her shoul- ders, of his face close to hers, with that old-time, half-mocking curve to the lips and that old-time, care- free glint to the eyes.
 "Yes," she whispered ct last. II was out before she knew that she was going to say 1t; and as she heard herself say 1t she felt @ sud- den pang in her breast, as if she had said something that she had meant not to say, and wished that she could recall 1t. But then San- dy's lips were on hers, and she was pressed against him with that lean muscular arm tight to her and there was no room for any doubts or regrets.
 When he released her, ct last, sh( suddenly remembered that they were sitting in a public place in broad daylight; and she detached herself from his embrace as nervously as Q frightened high school girl.
 'Sandyl" she cried, looking about her anxiously. "The whole town is apt to see usl"
 What of it?" asked Sandy, grim ming broadly. There was a good foot of daylight between them now, and he made no attempt to close the gap. Instead he got out e ciga- ret and lighted 1t.

ties agree 1t must be if the needs of the body are to be met.
 Referring to Sherman's view, if bread is the mainstay in the diet, and white bread is used from habit, choice or availability, then artif. cially refined food supplies tho greater proportion of the calories in the diet, and Q vitamin B short- age is inevitable.
 In ordinary cooking where the water in which the vegetables, cereals or fruits is cooked is drained off and thrown away, Q consider able part of the vitamin B in these foods is discarded.
 It Is my own belief that Q large part of the population, irrespec- tive of economic status, suffers from 6 partial deficiency of vita

The Council ad- vises that the use of this powder should be limited to persons who are under the close supervision of Q physician or dentist.
 Immunity from trench mouth is best assured by keeping the mouth meticulcusiy clean, by obtaining constant advice and treatment from Q reliable dentist, and watching the diet.

incide with our own and reject as without such foundation any new ideas which we do not get or ideas which we reluct to acknowledge for one reason or another.
 The elders conceived their opinions and ortnulated them long before the role oi vitamins was known. It is true that white bread is practically equivalent to bread made of whole wheat meal in cal. ories or fuel value, in the balanced proportions of fat, protein and car. bohydrate material in taste (at least for many persons). As Q white bread eater I agree 1t is wholesome and nutritious. But frankly we must admit that 1t Is inferior to whole wheat bread in nutrition. One authority who has definitely proved this by tests on men under control in Hindhede. No physiologist or nutrition chemist or expert in American can success. fully controvert his observations. Indeed, no one here has made any actual tests to substantiate the as- sumption that white bread is as adequate as whole wheat meal bread.
 Prof. H. 0. Sherman, one of the foremost nutrition authorities ii, this country, makes this remark in his book Chemistry of Food and Nutrition" (Macmillan, New York)
 "In general it is only when
 too large a proportion of the
 needed calories are taken in the
 form of artificiaily refined
 foods that there is danger of 6
 deficiency of vitamin B; but,
 since artificially refined foods
 are SO commonly and abund-
 antly used by people of all
 economic conditions in nearly
 all countries, the vitamin B
 value of a food may be of prac-
 tical interest, though probably
 less important than is the vita-
 bin A, vitamin 0 or vitamin c
 value."
 In many homes these days bread is the mainstay and too often 1t is not properly supplemented with milk, butter, eggs or cheese, as all physiologists and nutrition authori-

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 Damp

 Does sleeping in room full of damp clothes have any effect on health? (K. J. E.)
 Answer-The dampness is rather beneficial to health. Most sleeping rooms which are artificially heated are too dry for health.
 Exercise for Arches
 Can you suggest an exercise to strengthen weak archesf I have what our doctor calls "pronated" feet. He says my arches are weak, but not fiat. (Miss LID
 Answer stand with bare feet touching ct great toes and heels an inch apart. Roll ankles slowly orit- ward so that soles face each other, and ct same time curl toes down and under with vigorous pull. Then relax, extend toes or spread and pull them back in the opposite way with an equally vigorous pull. Repeat this from ten to fifty times, night and morning. Walking bare- foot or in stocking feet on tip toes, always toeing in, is fine exercise for weak ankles (''pronated feet'D-- which is the functional or potential stage of flat feet. Generally the young person with pronated feet (the ankles turn In too inuch) needs general physical up-building and usually advice or treatment by the family physician.
