Tn case your curiosity Is aroused I will say hero that Miss Brown was person of extraordinary con'' mon sense. She was not . genius but as Q teacher she was practical. Nor was her education above aver age. Let us say, instoad, that gho was an individual of personality. And so far As l could discern. that personality grew tut of real love of children and an intense loyalty to her Job. Nothing more'
 And I've wondered since If wo shouidn't eliminate stests of learn- ing and tho like, and giyc moro thought to tho person who desires to teach. Certainly Miss Brown was successful beyond words, but not because of skill tn the usual school methods. Although she pos. sessed those skills, she was first of aIl q woman, one who relied upon an inner voice to direct her in lead ing children along the path of nor. rnsI, wholesome everyday living.

If all human beings were to cease taking vitamin F, there eventu. ely would be no human beings. Vitafnin F. iS that important. But don't be alarmedi This vital subs stance is 70 widely distributed in Mature that it b practically never abaent in even an ordinary diet.
 Indeed, there b little evidence ' that anyone ever suffered severely from shortage Of this vitamin. For that reason, an American Medical Association committee has asked lnanufacturcrB not to mention the prerence of vitamin Y on labels Of foods. The public might get the idea that this is m uncommon Feature when, as q matter of fact vitamIn Y is found in almost every Kind of food, including such com mon substances AZ lettuce, wheat, beans, nuts and fruits of every va. ficty, meats. egg yolk, milk, cOc0a, cOttonsecd oil. beef fat, c0c0nut oil, and green, leafy vegetables.
 Vitamin Y K called the anti bterihty vithnin. Experiments made on animals have shown that lt B indispensable for normal re- production of any living animal species.
 If vitamin Y iS completely with held, for any great length Of time, from the diet of any animal. the creature will not be able tO bear y0ung. This explains why Mother Nature has been NO lavish with yitanin Y. A lack of this sub. stance would certainly result In extinction Of life through discon- tinuation of reproduction Of the species.
 Many people have wondered why advantage should not Dc taken of this effect of yitamin Y for the purpose Of birth control. Unfor. tpnately, the effects on general health are go bad when the diet is deficient i1 Utamins that, even lf birth control resulted, the damage tO the body would Dc so great as tO make the experiment menace. M Moreover, studies show that vita- fnIn Y is stored in the body for long periods.
 VlEamln content jn the diets Of children must De watched cafe. fully. The grOwn.up B much more concerned with the relationship of fite yitamln Co iIl health than with the problems of growth. But for fise child, the vitAmin b Iu every sense Of the word really vital, VIbsming do rot provide heat Ur aneFgy or materials f0r building t|B8lie, but they are the sparks which make the machine %,

The Truth About Diet We Couldn't Exist Without Vitamin E.
 So Natures Lavish With It
ToDAY's HEALTH QUESTION

Q,--What can you recom- mend for soft teeth? My dentist gave mo cod liver oil concentrates, although he would not say definitely whether they would do me any good. He believes one should start when 6 child to build strong teeth.
 A.--In the first place there is no assurance that this b & case of "soft" teeth. Tho assumption that teeth are soft just because they decay b erroneous. Mouth condi- tons are more significant factors in decay than quality of the tooth structure itself.
 Teeth nre built only in early childhood, and cod liver oil or any diet will not change them materially in an adult, but simply affect Sur- rounding structures of the teeth. To effect q beneficial change with so intricate a subject aB nutrition, it is bet- ter to consult the family doc. tor, Too much self medlca- ton is likely to Dc per. niciouB.

What are the essentials to bc con- sidered In planning tho dining ro0m2 Ts Q dining room necessary?
 To take the second question first, whether or not c dining room is necessary depends upon the size of tho family, the room available. and the scale of living to which the family has been accustomed. If the family is large and there is Sufh. cient space Of enough money in tho building budget, Q dining room is desirable. If the budget will not stand the strain, then ono end Of c Q living room should be directly accessible to the kitchen and should Do used for dining purposes.
 For c small family, c space in the, living room can easily Do reserved, and breakfast or other informal meals can be eaten in the kitchen.
 The essentials in planning the dining room are: First, sufficient wall space for tho sideboard, at least one serving table, and somo of the chairs; if the contemplated furniture includes . china closet, space for that must Do provided ale 50. Second, there must be enough space to accommodate tho table and surrounding Chairs with room for tho one serving to pass around freely. Third, there should be ade. quate natural light; . southeast cxs posure is the most desirable, aS breakfast and luncheon arc the only meals eaten in the daytime for most of the year, and that OK. posuro gives sunlight for both of these meals.

A Mystifying Stunt To Jolly the Crowd

 Phil was chosen "it". Edna quiot- ly tipped him off that the fireplace would represent i2 on an imaginary clock face.

GIOntying Yourself

 No one but yourself can make flat rule about the num- Der of hours you need to sleep each night. Some can get along happily on six, or even five. Others--.and this applies to the majority of aduItb-- need about eight. Tho problem is indeed an individual ono and only by the time-old trial and error method can you find out.
 However, one general rule wc can make, and this is that each person should figure out what rest she needs nightly, then stick by her rules. If she wants to look pretty and fresh through the years, she MUST do 1t. How can you tell when you're getting adequate and proper rest? Well, just by the way you feel immediately after you've dressed and eaten breakfast. And by the way you feel again about four in the afternoon.
 You may be sleepy when you wake up to turn off tho alarm, but you shouldn't be just plain tired, weary in every muscle. By the time you have bathed, dressed and had breakfast, even tho sleepy feeling should disappear. If it doesn't, and you stumble around duly and hals.heartedly until about eleven o'clock, you'd better try to get c little more sleep each night. If this doesn't help, sec your doctor. Also, check Up oK your bed and the ventila- ton in your room.
 Perhaps your mAttorss is too soft or too hard. Maybe you need . smaller or Q larger pillow or mono at. all. It's possible that you don't got enough fresh air in your room. Perhaps you should drink Q glass Of milk before you go to bed. Maybe you never should eRt or drink immediately before retif. ing.
 Anyway, whatever you do, don't go on sleeping restlesly or too little. It is Important to your health, charm and beauty that you humor and pafnper yourself to tho extent of getting proper rest.

When Q person came in all tired out from slcdding, how could you be expected to think of the side walk you'd promised to clean2 Anyway the snow shovel wasn't in It's place on the back porch. If it had been, you might have grab- bed it and tossed off few loads, just enough to show your will was working even If your efficiency wasn't.

 Rest For the Weary
 No Sir, when you didn't feel just exactly right and every thing was jake, you simply had to get down on your back bone with that pirate story, or go over to FattyS and see the pups.
 Oh, all right---all right He'd 70 and hunt the shovel, but he wanted his mother to understand that he was NO tired he could lie down right where he was and stay forever. No, sir, he wouldn't be tearing around in two minutes with Fatty in the yard and having q snow fight. What did she think he was anyway Humphl Pillows and Q cover and Q nice soft couch. Did he HAVE to stey there? For half an hour before supper? Gee, he wasn't that tired He just felt like doin' something that wasn't going to kill . fel- low, that was ali.

MARCH COTTON
PRICE DOWN

NEW YORK, Feb. IS uN.SJ.
After rallying to cut losses in the
distant months somewhat, cotton
futures eased again.
A feature of the market was the
pressure which developed on the
March contract after relative
strength in early dealings.
The trade, Liverpool, and COM
mission houses continued tn e
principal buyers against Southern,
New Orleans, and Far Eastern
selling.
The decline in March was the
result of a statement by Oscar
Johnston, manager Of the AAA cot
ton pool, that he had no intention
Of demanding deliveries on the con-
tracts for that month, as had been
reported yesterday and earlier to-
day. The Improvement in March
yesterday was largely caused by.
the impression that the pool would
take the actual staple on delivery
date.
Towards noon prices continued
at moderate declines. March was
quoted at 1929. off 8; May 1921,
off s; July 1888, off 10, and Oc-
tober 1925, off 7 points.
