Almost every woman who cooks three meals day finds her fam ily's likes and diSlikes in food in- teresting enough to want to talk about. But she doesn't dare, once she's hear it's a boring subject to everyone but her.
 Then there is Junior" Every body who has a junior or his fem mine equivalent knows he is 8 re- markable child and would love to cite incident after incident to prove it. But it's no longer con- sidered good form to talk about your children.
 Then there is the topic "my job" That's one that both men and women like to hold forth on. But talking about his job is supposed to make a man a bore and a woman something far worse-a creature completely without glamor.
 Then there's my trip. Every body who travels really wants to tell his friends just how many miles he made each day; that the best meal he had on his whole trip was in such-and-such a town, and that if the friends ever find them selves in Q certain ci.y, they must without fail stop at a certain his- torically famous hotel. But the sophisticated talker is afraid to let himself go on talking about his trlp--and thereby forfefiS most of the fun of travelling.
 And SO it goes. We all OUGHT to be good listeners--Eince 1t has become co lli1tle fun Co talk.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 Insanity in the Family

If as you say Mongolian idiocy occurs now and then in any family and no one is immune from losing their mind, just what is inherited insanity and how can two persons marrying escape this problem?
 co. c. R.)
 Answer-No reason to believe 1t is hereditary, CT that 1t indicates any hereditary defect or taint. Actually the cause is unknown. Talk on "In- sanity in the Family" will appear in this column presently.
 Lighter and Happier
 On my 29th birthday I weighed 175 pounds (64 inches tall), had two fine children three and six, and husband and was unhappy. I sent for your booklet Rules for Reduc- ing" Followed the advice therein. Now, eight months later, I weigh l35 have two fine children, @ loving hus- band, and am the happiest woman in the world. (Mrs. Fl. N. K.)
 Answer-Thank you. Any adult who is overweight may reduce safely, sanely and with benefit to health by following a physiological regimen. For copy of the booklet Rules for Reducing" send twenty-five cents and stamped envelope bearing your address.
 Graft i'm Licensing
 Politicians control the state board and the examinations given qualified physician or dentist who desires to cross the state line to practice forty miles from his present place are a schoolboy test--a trick by which the politicians keep registration and an- nual renewal fees rolling into their pockets. L. J. H., D. D. s.
 Answer-You said it, Doctor. Of course 1t is graft and nothing else that keeps up the racket of licensing physicians, dentists, etc., not once for all. but separately in each and every little state of province where the grafters hold the reins of gov- ernment.
 Dermatitis Disappears
 After taking the potassium tablets less than week my dermatitis be- gan to disappear. Knees and elbows were thick and scaly from childhood, swim now perfectly normal. I take about three doses weekly now, haven't had c headache in a year.

. MeKENNEY'S BRIDGE QUIZ

BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY Amerlca's Card Authority

With Earl Alderman of San Fran cisco, vice-president of the Pacific Bridge League, and I. r, (Nate) Gaffney, president of the Cleveland Whist Club, went to Newark, N. J., where the New Jersey Bridge League was holding it's mixed team-of-four contest.
 This contest brought out many outstanding players, especially among the women. Mrs, A. M. Sebel played with Waldemar von Zedtwitz on one team, and Mrs. R. c. Young of Philadelphia was member of another team.
 Here is an interesting hand l saw Mrs. Young play during the match. Sitting South, she won the opening lead with the ace of hearts. She led the three of spades and played the nine from dummy. West won and returned hearts, South ruffing the third round.
 A low trump to the queen put dummy in, and also revealed the bad trump split. North led dia- mond sor South to win by e tinesse of the jack.
 Now 1t was useless to set up the diamonds by third round ruff in dummy, for then Easts trump length would kill the suit. So Mrs. Young boldly cashed her last two trumps, then led the club to the king.
 As she had hoped, East held the ace and did not have the last

 Recently you mentioned Rocky Mountain spotted fever and vae- cine that protects against 1t. In New Jersey there have been a few deaths due to bite of Q tick infested with Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and the state has issued educational notices about care in avoiding tick bites. When bitten by 0 tick Q year ago ! asked my doctor about vac. cine and he said he knew of none, He referred to his medical reference book and found nothing about vac- cine. He said he had always unders stood there was no preventive serum. A few years ago the newspapers told of seven deaths in New Jersey from Rocky Mountain soptted fever. So I'd like to know more about the vac. cine you mentioned, just in case.

 Now is the time to make up your mind to do all you possibly can to avoid getting . cold this winter.
 For the sake of continued good health and therefore of beauty, re- member that you cannot look pretty when eyes and nose arc red and you're coughing or snee8lng every minute. Furthermore, it doesn't take more than one severe cold to dee stroy the bright, blooming look you acquired during the summer months in the sunshine.
 so take precautions now. Don't lot the air. in your steamsheated apartment or house become too hot or dry, especially during the hrse days 1t is turned on. Keep the radl- ator pans filled with water, and # that equipment Is lacking, place pans of water in conspicious places In your rooms, to humidity the air. TAKE EXERCISE
 ON GOOD DAYS
 Get some outdoor exercise every single good day. Eat quantities of green vegetables, crisp salads, fresh fruits (the good apple crop this year is Q real beauty news) and see 10 1t that your diet includes plenty of milk, All of those foods contain vItamins, which are coid-gerni- cides.
 Resolve now, too, that if precau- tons fail you'll attack Q cold in" stantly.
 If you wake up some morning with Q sore throat, aching head or tlrobbing eyes-dont walt 'till you start sneeZing. Get back into bed at once and stay there all day. You don't like doing that, but doctors agree the colds whynich finger are the ones which are disregarded by would-be toughies, with utterly mis: taken ideas about economy and fortltude.
 nrink quantities of orange and other fruit juices and cat only foods which wou know are rich In vita. rnins. If, after staying in bed Q day Or two, you feel no better get . doctor, Without being on alarmist, I can tell you it's both cheaper and aaner to be extra cautious than to riak letting your seemingly light cold progress to influenza or pleu- TnoEla,

 Rocky Mountain spotted fever was first recognized as occurring in the Bitter Root Valley in Montana and the Snake River Valley in idoha west of Yellowstone park in the nlneties and the cause was found by Drs. Wolbach, Rlcketts, Prick and other investigators in 1906. Tn the past few years it has been shown to be widely dispersed, cases having been found in more than half of the states, on the Atlantic seaboard, in the Mediterranean littoral, around Sac paulo, Brazil.
 Mortality rate varles-ln Idaho about five per cent of cases termi- nate fatally, In the eastern part of the United States about 25 per cent, andw in Montana and Brazil the death rato is much higher, 50 per cent or more.
 A vaccine, administered in two hypodermic injections ct intervals of five days, gives full protection against the milder type of Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and partial protection. enough to insure recov- cry from the more virulent type. This vacine is procurable from the Rocky Mountain Laboratory, Na- tional Institute of Health, Hamil- ton, Montana, of course only by physicians or health officers. The National Institute of Health is pa { of the Public Health Service of the federal government. The vaccine must be repeated each year.
