ADOPTED CHILDREN
GET EXTRA 100000
Court of Appeals Awards
Heirs of Levi Morton
Additional Sum.

A small boy and girl, now living in
Philadelphia, who were adopted sew
eral years ago by a daughter of the
late Levi P. Morton, Vice President
of the United States under Benjamin
Harrison, will receive an additional
100000 from Mr.. Morton's estate by
a ruling today in the United States
Court of Appeals.
The children are Lewis Peter Nor
ton, 4, and Miriam Morton, Z. Miss
Mary Morton, who adopted them, died
in 1882.
Request for their share in her
estate grew out of the construction OF
the will of her father, who, in addi-
tion to serving as Vice President, also
was Governor of New York.
Gov. Morton left the bulk of his
s11 100000 estate to his wife and four
daughters. The wife, however, died
before him. In the present case, the
court was called on to decide whether
Gov. Morton divided his estate into
five shares or four shares, since the
will stated that his wife and daughters
who survived him were to share
equally.
This affected the bequests which
Miss Morton's adopted children could
receive from her. since the will OF
Gov. Morton restricted to one-half OF
one share the amount each Of his
I. .I.s x..;nl,t r;va ouav of her death
The question, therefore, resolved
itself into whether the two children
should receive one-half of fourth OF
Gov. Morton's estate or one-half OF
a fifth. The difference amounted to
about 100000. The Court of APP
peals ruled they should inherit the
added amount resulting from the
death of Mrs. Morton before the
death of her husband.

oPPOsiNG CONTEMPORARY
 VIEWS OF NUTRITION.
 On the fly-leaf of his book "Ner- vous Indigestion" (Hoeber), which I consider one of the finest acces- sory books in my library, Dr. Wal ter Q. Alvarez quotes Thomas Hux- ley as follows:
 T have not, now, nervous en-
 ergy enough for stomach and
 brain both, and if I work the
 latter, not even the fresh
 breezes of this place will keep
 the former in order"
 Evidently Huxley was an intro- spective person. No doubt a Class B rleurotic.
 I think large proportion of the near -invalids for whom Dr. Alvarez's book was written, are in the B class. 1 bet old HuX could have written a moving chapter on "The importance of Keeping the Bowels Active" Be that as 1t may, Huxley said something of medical education in 1870 which would be even more timely today: T entertain very strong conviction that any one who adds to medical education one iota or title beyond what is absolutely necessary is guilty of a very grave offence" Huxley was an advocate of the introduction of physiology into elementary education, and speaking of that he got off 8 good one: "The saying that a little knowledge is dangerous is, to my mind, very dangerous adage Indeed, if a little knowledge is dangerous, where is the man who has so much as to work as you think they should.
 Not in his book, but elsewhere Dr. Alvarez recently blurted this half baked view: Even the physician with a very large practice will see only a few caess year in which he will suspect that the symptoms are due to too great narrowing

 Your Children
By OIiYe Roberte Barton

Watch your s1nall children, mothers, and observe what they can do best. Then don't forget it. Al- ways bear in mind that early apti- tude is a straw with some wind be- hind 1t; some natural trait that may be lost sight of in the cOmplexity of later education and training.
 Ask Johnny what he wants to be when he grows up. Very likely he will say "a policeman" or "a sol- dier," or to act in a circus.n Dreams are usually made of hero stun in childhood, h.it tc long for q flying trapese ig no indication of fitness for the job. It takes more than that to indicate to the ob- servent mother latent possibilities ip her child.
 While Johnny is taking so big and his thoughts are miles away on the future, quietly observe what those little awkward hands are do- ing. Or his eyes. or ears or feet. Perhaps he takes piece of paper and a pencil, and with 3 few swift lines draws 8 pro- portiQnate outline of his scooter, or bicycle. Or an unTnistakable horse or cat. You could not do 1t. I could not. But here is a five- year-old boy setting down exactly what his eyes see, without any in- struction or teacher to show him how.
 Tn school he may some day learn to dislike drawing and not make an oredltable showing whatsoever. He won't be able to follow, line by line, the directions given. You decide that he is not cut out for an architect or for ad- vertising after all, 50 why not make him into a lawyer or doctor? Entirely forgotten in that period in his almost -babyhuod when he knew form ana line instjnctively without . word from anyone. It should not be 90. Johnny showed then, as clearly as lie could, that he had more than mere aptness for creative work and unusual obser- vation.
 Small Betty loves to sing and carries difficult tunes to the end. She won't stay away from the piano. She picks out easy har- monies by ear and sings to them. She is not interested in the radio except to. initiate. She reacts to
 music constantly and her moods depend on 1t. Later, in school, she loses some of her enthusiasm through the mechanics of iristruc- ton. Then you say, We thought Betty would be 2 musician, but she is more interested in the Girl Scouts"

of a diet" (This refers to vitamin deficiency.
 Dr. Henry 0. sherman's books contain much that Dr. Walter o. Alvarez does not yet know about vitamins and nutrition. Dr. Sher- man says on p. 400, 4th edition, Chemistry of Food and Nutrition, G.. it should perhaps be ct this point that when Golbefger conclud- ed that latent pellagra' is common among children he may have been referring to g condition in which the children receive diets adequate to prevent the development of any specific symptom of nutritional de- ficiency disease, but containing less than optiMal amount of vitamifl G. Such a condition of affairs probably does occur often: partly because the importance of vitarnin c in nutrition and its very uneven distri- button among staple articles of food are not yet matters of common knowledge; and partly because some of those who do know about vita min c may not fully appreciate the fact that Gas in the case of vitamin Al its Optlmal amount means Q far more liberal intake (perhaps many fold more liberaD than the min- imum requirement fo rthe preven- ton of obvious or manifest nutri. tional deficiency"
 The trouble with too many physi- clans with very large practice" is they are not interested in health, but only in the manifestations of disease.
 Chicken Jelly.
 Kindly advise food value of juice or jelly made by boiling chickens feet and bones in water. (Mrs. !. O.
 Answer-From the bones, the jelly or juice so made is chiefly gelatin. which is of questionable nutrttive value, though 1t, properly serves as 8 protein sparer to a limited degree that is. the gelatin is utilized as fuel by the body in place of pro- tein. Chicken jelly made by chop- ping Q chicken, bones and all, and slowly coking, is both nourishing and palatable. Gelatin is an incorli. plete protein, lacks certain amino acids which are essential for assiEni- lation by the body. Pure gelatin, as marketed for food, Is valuable for bulk and an ingredient for various dishes, especially where 1t is de- sired to keep the diet low in calor. les.
 Cataract.
 :. Is there any cure for cataract except operation? (C. E. Al. ..
 Ariswer-No. In animals cataract may be produced by Q diet deficient in vitamin c, but restoration of vitamin c to the diet does not clear up the cataract.

 For a nose which gets 50 red that green powder does no good at all, Q makeup film can be used. With grease paint foundations and put up in all shades to match all skins, one of these Is to go on the nose in place of foundation lotion. Powder sticks to it, Of course.
 Incidentally, . makeup film is e fine thing to include in your list of New York beauty preparations. Use 1t to cover Q blefnigh which appears just as you are ready to go to an important party or, if you like, to make dark circles under your eyes less conspicuous.

What is there about this time of which finds expression in gayety optimistic speculation? It is the my and uncertainty of the hopeful ft As the new year Is born, all the dis- appointments and sorrows of the closing year, suddenly become as little cloudlets rolling out to sea, and we cluster about the crystal ball to gaze into the future, with the shining eyes of youth. For youth never looks backward; the past has lost It's meaning, and 1t Is with tense curiosity that we try Ln pierce the veil of tomorrow and tomorrow. We all have 8 right to happiness, and so let's hope for a moderate degree of success in our undertakings. I say moderate, be- cause to be really successful in life, 1t requires patience, tolerance, charity and understanding. We do not acquire nor cultivate these vir- tues suddenly; hence Q moderate degree of success is all we may hope for in one year. Let's hope for happiness not only in the carefree joys of casual entertain- ment, but in the realization of roc sa1ance and through appreciation of the beautiful things of life.

 A bit of green powder will make a red nose look as white as the rest of your face. And this should be cheering news to skiers and skat- CTS as well as to the woman whose nose starts to get vivid pink when- ever she goes out in cold weather.
 Simply fill a small loose-powder compact with green powder, gen. erally recommended for evening makeup, and use 1t on your red thing she wants. But don't be misled. Her early love and apti- tude for music is still there, lat eint. Why educate her to be 8 mechanical worker when her whole nature asserted itself in those first free years and divulged the rhythm ahd melody of her be- ing?
 During intermediate years chil- dren often are discouraged by the work attached to training. They also become discouraged by being held back in classes moving at q deliberate gait. Such matters have to be worked out as best they may. My point Is that early childhood often indicates genius that is lost because 1t is forgotten.
