Household Hints
-YARENTS--
 Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

A mother called on the school principal. She was in @ quandary over her daughter.
 "What can I do?" she asked, "to teach Betty @ sense of responsi- bility?"
 The principal kept her eyes of the soft mink of her visitors coat politely. The answer, she thought, was there. Too much money. Too many things done for the child at home. Too soft living-too much everything. But instantly she re- jected the idea.
 Here was @ woman seriously dis turbed about her twelve-year- daughter. And she looked sensible, too, and very, very human. The person under that expensive coat who bothered now to call on her would have bothered before this to see that her girl had some train ing.
 We can talk it over," she said kindly. Has Betty ever had any responsibility at all?"
 Daughters Training Neglected
 I'm afraid not. You see, well, my mother -in-law and husband couldn't conceive of raising Q child without 8 couple of nurses. We have travelled good bit, too, and she had to be left. From babyhood everyone has rushed to do the things for her. But recently I sent the upstairs maid away and ex- plained to Betty that she must keep her own room in order. wish you could see 1t. But the worst of 1t is that, accustomer to order all her life, she doesn't seem to notice. Either that or else she'll suffer tor- lures rather than hang up a dress or make her bed herself"
 "So it's money after all," said Miss Knox to herself.
 T have taken her out of pri- vate school and sent here here to see If you could do anything. I have heard of your success with girls. Besides, I want her to see how other girlts have to do."
 Thank you. But I'll have to be honest. Not all other girls know the meaning of responsibility. There are many mothers who never allow their daughters to do anything at all,' who are mere hand-maidens to their girls. Sometimes they come from the poorest families. It is a common expression, I want Mary to be lady and never have to work as I have.'"
 Work and Responsibility Related
 "1s 1t too late at twelve to show girl what it's all about?"
 No, I don't think so. But a sense of responsibility is closely allied to the work habit. mean the habit of doing things because they should be done, whether one likes 1t or not; being incon- venienced, and all that. Looking away from self"
 "Is there any way to bring it about?"
 well, yes. But Is it a slow pro- cess. You cannot suddenly descend on the untrained child and saddle her with 8 dozen jobs she hates.

HAVE YOU EVER TRIED
 EATING WHEAT?

Any variety of wheat used to make four or other cereal food or any wheat used as feed for animal or fowl is wholesome, healthful food as 1t comes from the thresher. In my opinion, popular prejudices such are cultivated by commercial against the use of plain wheat as interests and have no sound foun- dation. Qualms about the "life," the insect eggs, the possible larvae, the webbiness of plain wheat which one has had on hand for some time, entire or cracker or ground in the home, are rather silly, I think. 1f one feels flnical about that, 1t is simple matter to wash the wheat with water. Tn any event, cooking would destroy any life" or any in- sect or insect eggs or larvae there may be present in the food. But undoubtedly you and I have con- sumed plenty of such life" or in- sects or their larvae or eggs in one cereal product or another which came in an imposing package and purported to be mysteriously "puri- fled" by the manufacturer. So why be squeamish about 1t? As for the "dirt" the manufacturer of trick cereal product SCOUTS" or removes from the wheat in order to make the food fit for gullible customers to eat, that is really an insult to the customers intelligence. Nature does not grow dirt" or filth or any thing unwholesome or harmful to man or animal in the wheat ker- mel.
 While older physicians and nutri- tion authorities still seem to regard the deficiency of mineral elements and vitamins in refined white flour as of minor importance, there is growing scientific conviction that a great many ill-defined faults of health, functional disturbances, vague complaints such as Hack of ''pepp," flow resistance" weak nerves" are really due to partial vitamin deficiencies which were not recognized at all by the older phy- sicians and nutrition authorities. They based their opinion on the rarity of the nutritional diseases due to total deprivation of one Or another vitamin xerophthalmia, beriberi, scurvy, rickets, pellagra. Our newer knowledge of the role of the vitamins in nutrition physi- oiogy, metabolism, though still far from complete, has taught us that a moderate shortage of one or more vitamins for a sufficient period may result in impairment of the vigor of the body, lowering of the degree of health, a diminution of functional efficiency, whether we have Q specific name for the con- dition in question or not.
 Further, the scientific knowledge which is now accommodating, through animal experimentation and actual tests in pxactice makes 1t more and more evident that the utilization of the mineral clements in food is con- trolled by the vitamins. So that if

seemed to be the gangs mouth- piece; this sudden inexplicable ab- sence from town; these woman's fingerprints on the silver - well, he'd know for sure, soon enough.
 He waited in rising impatience until, at last, the girl at the outer switchboard announced the arrival of Bobby Wallace. Larry asked her to send him in at once, and when the young man arrived Larry barely paused to shake hands with him before saying, Let's see 1t, Bob-quick!"
 Bobby handed him the sheet of note paper on which, for after dinner jest, Larry had made an impression of Jean Dunn's finger prints. Larry lasd 1t on the desk beside the unidentified prints Tony had copied from the table knife. As he bent over them, com. pairing them with cold exactness, his face became gray and hard; when, at last, he stood erect and looked at Bobby his eyes were very tired.
 "What's 1t all aboutp" asked Bobby.
 "Just this," said Larry. "Jean Dunn is = or was, six hours ago. in the company of Red Jackson and his gangstersl"
 The hired sedan from the county seat sped swiftly over the road to Midlothian, bearing Larry Glenn, Tony LaRocco, and Al Peters; be- hind it came another car with the county sheriff and three of his dep- uties, their aid hastily enlisted by Larry on the theory that local COG operation never comes amiss. The two cars covered the 10 miles to the Engle farm in just II minutes, and spun into the driveway with 8 crunching of tires on gravel and Q whining of brakes.
 Mrs. Engle was standing in the back yard. She let out one yell "a frightened squawk for her husband = and then froze into inc mobility as a bulky deputy sherin swaggered over and told her that. since she was under arrest, she would do well to keep quiet.
 Engle came out the back door just in time to encounter the fed- eral men. Larry thrust Q search warrant under his nose; the farmer blinked at 1t. read 1t, and

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS.
Superstition.

0uPCEbthSsOus
 An expectant mother was frying corn meal mush, and some hot grease spattered on her neck. She clapped her hand on her neck. Some friends tell her she surely marked the baby when she did that |. Mrs. F. D.
 Answer-All superstitions about marking" the unborn baby are silly. How silly, only one who studies em- bryology can know. Embryology is the study of the development of the baby from conception to birth. To bad this study is not an essen- tial part of every girls high school course.
 Soap and Water Antiseptic.
 Please give information as to the kind and amount of soap to use for dOuche .. Mrs. R. L.)
 Answer - Teaspoonful of tincture of green soap to the pint of water, makes a safe antiseptic douche. Or standard soft soap may be used in- stead of the tincture of green soap or liniment of soft soap, as 1t is variously called. Or about one-half teaspoonful of any plain toilet soap may be dissolved in the pint of water.
 Galvanic Sore Mouth.
 Some months ago you had an article describing sore mouth due tO silver amalgam f1llin0s acting like 8 battery Miss E. W.
 Answer-No, it is the electric bat tery effect of two dissimilar metals in the mouth, say gold and silver. that sometimes gives rise to constant metallic taste and to sore spots which may be mistaken for Vincent's angina (trench mouth) or smokers patches or infection. The best course is to have the silver filings replaced with gold.

French Pete's. Got it?"
 Larry tried to give his voice the sullen, Respondent tone that Engle always seemed to use.
 "If Jack Floyd comes, you're at French Pete's he said. Then, on @ venture, he said, How does he get there, from here?"
 "What the hell's 1t to you how he gets here?" snarled the voice suspiciously. "You, give'm the mess age and keep your lips buttoned, y hear?"
 "All right" said Larry. There was @ click as the man hung up. Larry replaced the receiver and called loudly for Al Peters, When that agent came down the stairs Larry ordered him to go to the telephone company offices in Mid- lothian at once and try to trace the call that had just been made, Then he summoned LaRocco, and the sheriff and told them of the call.
 "Portsmouth's about 120 miles north of here," said the sheriff reflectively. That's & long way out of my bailiwick. I never heard of any French Pete's. Maybe we can sweat 1t out of the Engles, though"
 "We'll try it." said Larry. "Only listen, Mister Sheriff if they won't tell us, we can't"
 The sheriff looked at him and nodded, grinning.
 Sure" he said, you mean no third degree. I don't go for 1t myself. but they say sometimes 1t does help"
 So they questioned the Engles learning precisely nothing and getting no replies but glum shakes of the head to all their questions; and at last Larry told the sheriff to take them of to jail and lock them Up on charges of harboring criminals in violation of federal law.
 "IIl leave Al Peters here with you," he said. "It'd be fins thing if you'd let some of your boys wait here at the house with Al to pick up this man Floyd when he shows up. Book him as a suspicious person and we'll shoot his fingerprints off to Washington and see who he really is. and meanwhile I'll head for Portsmouth and sec what I can get there"
 The sheriff agreed and detailed two deputies to wait at the farm house. Then, with his prisoners and the remaining deputy, he set of for the county seat.
 Larry and Tony discussed the situation on the farm house veran- da.
 "WeIl fly up to Portsmouth >and then dismiss our plane," said Larry. "Portsmouth's not far from Dover, and If we need any help some of the boys can get over there in no time l wish"
 He broke of suddenly, went te the telephone, and put in cal for Mike Hagan of the Dover police. Two minutes later he had Mike on the wire.
 Briefly and incisively he out- lined the situation to Mike, wind. ing up by saying: Mike, you seem to know a little something about everything - have you got even the foggiest kind of notion where or what this French Pete's might be?"
