Built-In Bathtub.

In building a new house, there is
little saving in installing a bathtub
on legs instead of the more sanitary
and better looking built-in tub. The
additional cost of the tub itself will be
offset in some degree by the saving
on finished flooring and walls where
the tub sets.

In the living room the two angry

where large bump was beginning to
show.

the bed.

Obediently, the blue-veined eyelids
closed. Lowering the shades. Jean tip
toed out. With sigh, she went into
her own room, shut the door.
JIMMY was awakened by a soft
touch on his cheek, soft and rather
damp. He opened his astonished
eyes to meet the smiling ones of his
| father; the wistful ones of the ragged
little pup, no longer dirty, but quite
respectable in a huge red bow, tail
wagging furiously.
Unable to restrain himself, Jimmy
let out a huge howl Of delight which
the dog was not long in joining.
"Why, what on earth?" Jean was
at the door. Her eyes Travelled over
the grinning males, rested finally on
those Of Jim, ST.
In just minute she was in his arms,
struggling between laughter and tears.
Both were apologizing profusely.
Jimmy and the dog looked on, ap-
provingly.
"Oh, Jim, how could I? Look at
that dog!" Her voice was like April,
radiant. 'Oh, Jim. you nitwit, that's
my best red bowl"

BY JAMES w. BARTON, M. d.
T SOMETIMES wonder whether the
new methods Of treatment for pain
and stiffness in muscles and joints
have not made us forget some Of the
methods used hundreds, yet thousands
of years ago. There are more pain
killers" available now than ever before,
many Of which do excellent work IN
emergencies or when other methods
are not suitable, and all Of which get
away to great extent from the neces-
sity OF using opium.
When we think of the hot baths used
so many years ago to ease pain and
prevent stiffness as compared with the
modern method of using pain-killing
drugs, the hot baths may seem crude
and clumsy. However, the big point
about easing pain and getting stiff
joints loosened up Is that the hot
water allows movement without caus-
ing too much pain and increasing the
blood circulation in the part.
AS you know, objects are Fighter"
under the water and so the raising or
movement of crippled or sore arm or
leg under water Is done with less
effort and pain than when out Of the
water.
In Europe there are many bath"
sanitoriums in charge Of physicians Of
high standing. These physicians are

Button, Button.

There are probably so or go billion
buttons on clothes in American ward
robes and on American people, men
averaging around $50 buttons each,
women less than that. A mans busi-
ness clothes are held on by about 80
buttons. A woman may have as few as
ncne at all. And yet a good button Is
not nearly as common as one might
think. 1t should have certain definite
characteristics. The back, Just behind
the holes, should be reinforced or built
out little; the holes should have
rounded edges SO as not to fray the
thread; and the bridge between the
holes should be not too thin. These
points any woman can detect for her
self when she buys buttons; unfor-
tunately, she cannot tell how the but
ton will launder. Buttons today are
made of many substances - wood,
leather, bone, plaskon in gay colors,
vegetable" ivory, metals and cloth.

and one that size"
'I tell you I won't have any dirty

Jimmy gazed, incredulous. His
father never spoke to his mother like
that! And his FACET was all dark,
as if storm cloud were over it.
You seem to forget that the house
is mine, too. Aren't you forgetting
that it was my father who paid for
it?"
"Forget!" The word was like a
bolt of thunder. LAS if I get a

Jimmy was frightened now. He'd
never seen his parents like this.
Why, it might be two strangers!
