 Foods containing vitamin D: z

 Originally only vitamin A was recogntzed-later 1t was found that what was first called vitamin A really included also vitamin D. Hence great confusion resulted, and still prevails, in the study of these vitamins and their functions. Only recently have the pure vitamins been available in forms permitting precise study of their actions when one is present without modification by the presence of the other. Times up. We'll continue this session to- morrow.

leaves him smarting under feeling of injustice, it does more damage than good. We must never forget that the human being has to have room to grow, to live and to try. If he is all bound round with rules and threats and forebodings of ex- treme punishments, he may learn utter disrespect of all these meth- ods, and will then proceed to break all the rules he pleases.
 On the other hand. there are many things in the childs experi- ence that require strict handling, such as certain dangers to the life health; honesty: respect for proper ty and other peoples rights.
 But aside from the hot stoves that require heroic warnings. there are dozens of ways of training the child to obedience and gentle behav- for.
 With small children, routine Is the all important matter. Baby learns to expect certain things at certain times. The school child ex- poets to go to school so he goes without protest. And so 1t is all through life. Those things we have been conditioned to expect, or do at given times, become second na- ture.
 But all cannot be routine or dis cipline. That would be 8 dull and confining world for our children. They 20 through daily experiences, too, that lie outside the orbit or rule or regulation. They must depend on their own judgment, their own ideas of goodness and their sense of sportsmanship. This is the most im- portant item in all child training, to make the child so fine at self-gov- ernment, and so little dependent on direct command, that he can be trusted to do the right thing any where.
 No mother makes a mistake who talks seriously to her child about the way nice folks behave. She uses the power of suggestion more than she realizes. The boy who wor- ships a hero i5 learning to admire courage and manliness and honor through the power of suggestion in the stories he reads. He will try to practice them.

o. My hair has a natural wave and I would like a formula for a wave lotion that I. can make at home.
 A. A lotion that does not require cooking may be made by adding two drams of gum tragacanth to eight ounces of water. When 1t Is soft, add one ounce of glycerine into which has been mixed five minims of oil of rose. A boiled lotion is made by gently boiling two drams of quince seed in one pint of water until the water has evaporated to twelve ounces. Strain through muslin cloth and, when it Is nearly cold, add one ounce of grain alcohol, one ounce of cologne water and six drops of oil of cloves. Put either of these mixtures on the hair and arrange 1t in waves while wet.

No wonder the tiny lass above has drawn a fashion figure on her slate instead of her ABC'sl She knows that her dress alone will win her high mark-in style! For Claire Tilden has given Pattern 892 sweet young charm and free-and-easy lines by designing the whole style in a series of panels. The rounded panel tops form an adorable scal- loped-effect where they meet the deep all-around yoke. You might make all the panels on the straight grain, but If you use a striped cot- ton or wool fabric, why not have every other front panel on the cross grain for a more dashing effect2 The neckline is simple and round, or may have a little collar, perhaps of crisp, fresh white pique. The sleeves are either short and scallop- edged or in full, long bishop style, and you can add front or back tying sash if you like. Do notice the grand, rippling fullness of the hemlinel
 Pattern 892 is cut in children's sizes ?, 4. 6, 8 and 10. Size 6, collar less version, requires 2 l-4 yards 35 inch fabric; dress with collar. 2 1-8 yards 35 inch fabric and IA yard contrast.
 Send FIFTEEN CENTS (15c) fin coins for this pattern. WRITE CLEARLY SIZE, NAME, ADDRESS AND STYLE NUMBER.

 PO1LU (the popular name for a French soldleD has, besides the "u." the vowel dipthong "oi.' The rule is to pronounce both voWels rapidly, making a IVA" sound. The word-PWA,LYU.

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS
 Cause of Warts

Have you any information or ad. vice for ridding the hands of warts? Is there anything contagious about crops of warts? My brother first got crop of them on both hands, and month or two later I got them on my hands. Of course we have tried all the magic cures to no avail. co. E. J)
 Answer-No specific organism has been found, although 1t would seem warts may be mildly contagious. They come and go mysteriously, and this fact accounts for popular superstitution about causes or cures. The familiar corn remedy painting daily with Q solution of 30 grains of salicylic acid in half an ounce of flexible collodion-may suffice. Or swab affected area of skin once a week with common tincture of iodin.

WOMAN,S REALM F
Gloritwng Yourself

NEA Service Stan Writer

NEA Service Stan Wr1ter
 Feet which carry Christmas shop perS on nile-long jaunts in aisles thanked by gift-ladden counters must be comfortable. This is the time to begin giving your feet a bit of extra daily care.
 Vigorous brushing will ward off callouses and help to reduce thoee already formed. By all means, always take bath brush into your daily tub and use 1t on feet as well as back, shoulders, elbows and knees.
 Do not cut corns or callouses with a razor or other sharp iil- strument. Especially persistent callouses may be smoothed down gently with a piece of wet puln- ice. There are special pads to be plastered over corns to discourage their growth. Bunions require med- ical attention.
 Nowadays, there are low-heeled shoes which are every bit as smart looking as high-heeled var- ieties. If you just can't walk or stand comfortably in night heels, by all means search for low-heeled shoes with eye or well as comfort appeal.
 SHORT SHOES
 PRODUCE CORNS Be very sure that your shoes are wide enough and long enough. If you have corn on practically every toe, the chances are that your present shoes are too short. Have your foot measured carefully be- fore buying the next pair. And don't, for goodness sake, let pride prompt you to buy them a half size smaller than you know you should should have.
 Put on clean stockings every morning, of course, and, if possi- ble, avoid wearing the same pair of shoes two days in succession. Remember that it's a great mis- take to wear loosely fitted bed- room slippers around the house for hours and hours. Fave regu- lar house shoes which support your arches.
 In other words, pamper your feet. Nothing puts lines around eyes and mouth any more quickly than tired, aching arches, cramped toes or blistered heels.
