What is the angel dcing, moth er2"
 He had picked up an old maga- zine with 6 picture of Dan Cupid on the cover, a very beautiful cherub who may have been ten or twelve years old, but with be- atific wisdom in his eyes.
 "He isn't an angel, dear. He is a little fairy. Those are arrows he has,"
 After the meaning of arrows was explained the next question was Q poser. Small Sam went back to the angel Idea, Why doesn't he have clothes on? An- gels wear dresses. They wear dresses and go to sec Jesus"
 Mother said yes, that was right. But" she added, T guess some angels would rather 90 without clothes. Boy angels maybe"
 "They live in heaven"
 "Yes, dear"
 "Why don't they like 1t herep"
 "They do. Only they like heav- en better"
 Heavens up in the sky. Can we go there? Do airplanes see heaven?"
 "No, 1t is too far away"
 Just . Word to Children
 "Harry's an angel now. Mary said so. But Richard said Harry was dead. What does dead mean?"
 Mother said, You go to sleep for Q long time. And when you wake up you are in heaven"
 If the boy had been older she would have tried to be more defi- nite, but he Is such Q little fel- low.
 "Will I be dead sometime? I want to see heaven"
 "Oh, sometime, but Grandpa's never been dead or seen heaven. People stay here long time usu- ally before they go away"
 Harry went. Where do wings grow, mother?"
 T think you had better get your sled now. dear. You need some sunshine before lunch. Oh. wings grow on shoulders"
 She asked me what to do.
 "The boy so often brings up the subject of angels and death," she said. Possibly because he lost little friend. He isn't old enough to reason it out 50 I never know what to say. About death, I mean"

The person who suffers from sec pndary anemia deficiency of blood resulting from a disease), probably requires iron more than anything else, although 1t now is believed that copper may help make the ef- feet of the iron more certain.
 The exact amount that may be necessary can be prescribed by the doctor, which is the surest method of obtaining tn erequlred iron.
 It is also possible to influence regeneration of the blood by giv- ing foods rich fin iron and in blood building substances.
 Here are the foods known to be most useful in increasing the red coloring matter of the blood. Lambs kidneys. beef kidneys, lambs liver, chicken liver, pig kid neys, bone marrow, apples, april cots, pruneg, peaches. and raisins.
 Among foods rich in copper are. Kidney beans. lima beans, beef juice, fresh cherries, lentils, calves liver, green olives, parsley, sliced pineapple, pistachio nuts, spinach, walnuts, watercress, and wheat bran.
 Investigations also have shown that vitamin A is important in re- generation of the blood. Vitamin A may be prescribed by the physi- clan in the form of cod liver or halibut liver oil, the latter being the natural food known Co be rich est in this vitamin.
 Vitamin A also is found in large amounts in butter, egg yolk, milk, tomatoes. and such leafy yege- tables as lettuce. spinach, cauli- flower, and cabbage.

 If you want to have one of the most attractively groomed heads in the Easter parade, start thinking about your new spring permanent wave right now. Plan the appoint ment sometime during the first week in April. Have your hair shampooed and set again just be- fore Easter. Between now and then get it in good condition.
 If you have split ends, dandruff, excessive oiliness or troublesome dry condition, see 8 reliable hair expert and either arrange for pro- fessional treatments or learn how to treat and care for your hair and scalp at home. A suige, by the way, seldom is recommended for split ends these days. The hair dresser into whose hands you put yourself probably will suggest that you have the broken ends cut of with scissors.
 Increase your nightly brushing routine to ten minutes. Instead of pulling your hair rapidly through the bristles ten or twelve times, place the brush flat against your head with each stroke and pull up- ward and outward, lifting the scalp, pulling the hair slightly, cleaning and polishing each strand. Keep on until your arms are tired. You may not enjoy it now, but you'll be glad when you notice the improve ment in your hair.
 Oily hair needs brushing, mas sage and a special tonic. Brush first, apply tonic to the scalp, then massage 1t in with f1ngertips. Re- peat every night from now until time for your wave. A dry scalp requires different tonic, of course, but it needs the same kind of brushing and massage.
 Go without a hat whenever you possibly can. Your hair, like your skin, needs fresh air and sunshine. If possible, have 1t dried by hand after every shampoo.

T0day's Health Question

Q.-Is there a vitamin Fp If not, why was this letter skipped in naming the vita minsp
 A.-There is such Q vita min; in Europe 1t is called vitamin F; in America 1t is known as B-i, though for merly 1t was called F in America also. When first recognized, It was designated by the next unused letter in the alphabet. Later research has proved that vitamin B consists of two clements, one identical with the element designated as vitamin P. Hence the vitamin F desig- nation has been abandoned in this country in the inter ests of simplicity.
 Vitamin B. then, consists of B-l, or r, destroyed by heat, and concerned in pro lection of the nervous tissues against beriberi and in stim- ulation of the appetite; and B-2, or G, not destroyed by heat, and possibly concerned in prevention of the defi- ciency disease known as pel- lagra.

 I've told you, I'm sure, about the pie investigation--how they've saved the pies reputation.
 The point to remember when you a:e going to indulge your family in this delicacy, though, is that the rest of the dinner must not be over- taxing. Keep the meat and vegetab- les simple and take into account the food value of the dessert. Remen- Der, there are about 125 calories in one serving of crust of one-crust pie. The filling adds more calories in pr portion to it's ingredients.
 I mentioned pecan pie in a menu some time ago and I've had SO many requests for the recipe that here it is.
 Make @ rich pie crust, bake, cool and i'll with the following
 Pecan Pie

SMOKE COSTS REAL MONEY

SMOKE COSTS REAL MONEY
 Smoke in the atmoshere over 0 city injures the health of every man, woman and child in the city. It in- creases the cost Of living It imposes a tax of from four to twelve dollars a year on every resident. It dinin- ishes materially the growth of plants and therefore makes food more eX- pensive. Experiments carried on at Leeds, England, showed that lettuce grew four times as fast in a clear district as 1t did in Q smoky dis trict.
 Smoke In the atmosphere absorbs the ultraviolet Of sunlight Balti- more health department found there was 30 per cent more ultraviolet light in the country than in the city. Chicago health department found there was loss of from 43 to 51 per cent of the ultraviolet light in Chi- cago on smoky days.
 Now take Pittsburgh. Famous for smoke and soot. And grime and gra--- well, famous that way. The Mellon Institute studied the pail and made some estimates of the results. For in- stance the proper stoking of furnaces would prevent Q loss of fuel due to imperfect combustion of about $2.80 year for each person in the city. O'Conner who conducted the insti- tute's survey, estimated that the ex- tra expense of cleaning clothes, launder an ddry-clcaning due to the pail in Pittsburgh is $40 year for each person. The expense of repaint- ing, repapering, replacing hangings, repairing residences and other buildings and washing windows soiled by smoke amounts to $226 per annum per person. The loss due to damage of merchandise in stores by smoke in the air is g a year for each person. The pail also diminlshes the amount of daylight and increases lighting bills. OConnor placed the economic loss from smoke in Potts burgh at about s20 year for each person.
 The U. s. public health service found that 296 tons of smoke and dust were deposited in Washington. D. C., a comparatively smokeless place, per squar emile per year, l54 tons of which was carbon and l42 tons of ash. Tn Pittsburgh, the Mel lon Institute investigation indicated. the annual deposit of dust amounts to 103l tons to the square mile. The outloo kis even darker in Baltimore, where 1900 tons of dust is deposited over a square mile in year. Salt Lake City is fairly bright, with only 325 tons Of dust per square mile per annum. If you want to get out from under you should go to Colorado Springs where the insignificant trace Of smoke comes from the cigaret stubs the weaker sex carelessly throw away. Or sojourn in Southern Call ifOrnia or southern Florida where there is no smoke at all tO speak Of, save the seasonal sinudge when they are heating the orange grooves.
 As a question Of economy, com fort and health, would it not be wise to spend, say ten cents a year per person. on a systematic program to eliminate at least the great excess Of smoke pollution. which ig quite unnecessary in any case and int0ler- able in A residential digtrict7

"DEFEND ME FROM MY FRIENDS -

B. F. Patty, making the second speech
of his campaign for the governorship of
Florida here in Key West last night, pre-
faced his remarks with the statement that
none of the local lawyers whom he APP
preached had the temerity to introduce
him to the public because of their ex-
pressed fear of reprisal by Governor
Sholtz. an avowed enemy of the candidate;
so he was compelled to introduce himself
One of them, friend of his, the speaker
stated, unhesitatingly declared that he
feared for his job since it was within the
power of the governor to remove him from
office
1t is patent by their refusal to render
an ordinary courtesy to man seeking the
highest office in the state at the hands of
the people, the friends of the governor
affirmed in the most eloquent manner pos
sible the very charges made by Mr.. Patty
that "despot ruled in Tallahassee"
The apprehension displayed by the
lawyers in question in refusing this act of
civility, whether from fact or fancy, GER
tainly was uncomplimentary to the COVER
nor and played right into the hands of the
gubernatorial candidate, thus defeating
the very purpose they had in mind, and the
objective they desired to attain.
The unpleasant incident brings to
mind the familiar quotation: Defend me
from my friends; can defend myself from
my|enemies."
