NOT TIE PROPER WIFE
By FAITH BALDWIN
CHAPTER xxIV

OAA2AA A &aAA &A4AA V THE board meeting took place at 4 headquarters. Emily, waiting her turn to speak, looked at her audience in some trepidation. Elsie Edgar smiled at her encouraginIy. But Elsie was thinking. It's too bad .of Frank :. Emily was by no means the sort .of daughter -in-law Elsie wanted She liked to be the social service worker in the family. Nancy amused and rested her. A second Mrs. Edgar who would un- doubtedly have her finger in all sorts of civic pies was not to Mrs. Edgar's liking. M
 Mollie, one of the industrial nurses, was speaking earnestly. Her enthusiasm carried her away and several members looked at one another with yelled arnllse- n1ent when Mollie spoke in blunt terms of the difficulty of proper care of workers under adverse conditions, and placed the blame of the typhoid outbreak at the proper doors which led to the workers houses.
 Mrs. Edgar stirred and reddened painfully.
 Enlily's little speech was a sym pathetic selection of case histories The story of a sick child, saved in time. The story of a child, too often home during school hours, as the visiting nurse could easily see. Yet it was not matter for 9 truant officer. There was no one at home to care for the patient . and the younger children, except this child. Matters were better arranged through the father of the family, through the V. N. A. it. self, and the doctor at the dis pensary. She told them about the Elsters, and eventually about Mrs Reman. The Reman case inter- ested them, they leaned forward and she knew she had their whole attention. She spoke briefly but graphically of the house in which she had found Timrny
 A TIER the meeting Mrs. Edgar A beckoned her. She said, in her dominant, fortnight way,
 You did very well, Emily. I agree with Miss Ansing that direct contact with actual nursing prob lenis through the nurses them selves is invaluable to the board" She patted Emily's shoulder and smiled. Why don't you come up and dine with us sometime, my dear? I hear of you through Frank but I don't see you often enough" she said.
 Emily had a word with Miss Ansing later She said,
 She's furious! Not only about the mill district, but about the Reman case"
 T noticed you mentioned the street, said Miss Ansing. She sighed. Its too bad. Of course 1 don't know Mrs. Edgar well. I didn't get the impression that she was annoyed. If she was; it's a pity: we can't afford to antagonize her.
 Emily said, distressed.
 T didn't mean to = anger her, just point out :"

 Rule One for exhibiting is that vegetables must have table qual- ity, not the day before or the day after. but at the time of judging. Rule Two is uniformity; 1t is better to have them all of very nearly. one size than one enormous specimen and the remainder smaller ones. Rule Three is free- dom from blemishes caused by carelessness, Insect and disease. Naturally. cleaner. vegetables are more appealing.

She stopped as Miss Ansing touched her arm warmingly and turned to speak to the chairman of the board.
 Frank appearing a night or two later, had a word to say. What in the world did you do to my mother?v he inquired. Nothing, said Emily. 'sWhy?"
 She's seriously annoyed" said Frank.
 "1s that why she asked me to dinner?"
 Perhaps she plans to poison you.' He shrugged his shoulders, "Oh, forget it. he said, ""shell get over it."
 But he was uneasy. He wasn't sure. His mother had waited up for him the night of the. board meeting. She had said, marching him into the library. T want you to stop seeing so ndch of Emily Hall" ,ssA < DRANK was aghast.
 But I thought .." he be- gan and she interrupted forcefully,
 You thought Millicent was my closest friend? She is. That has nothing to do with the matter. Has Emily ever spoken to you about the small section houses?"
 Yes" he admitted uneasily, but"
 That's enough. She told the entire board tonight about the conditions in the Elderberry block. You know that we expect to dis pose of that property as soon as the government makes up it's mind where the new defense houses are to go. It would be sheer folly to spend money on half a dozen ramshackle buildings which are bringing next to no rent now. As for the mill houses. the city hasn't complained of them, and the in- spectors are perfectly satisfied. Emilys good girl, no doubt, but she's a meddler and I cannot tol- crate meddlers.'
 Frank had lost his dead. He had said that Emily didn't meddle, that he was seriously in love with her and that he was determined to marry her if she would have him.
 of course she'll have you" said his mother scornfully, "why shouldn't. she?"
 She went on, However, if she does accept you, Frank, you will be marrying her without my con- sent"
 Absurd. He was free, white and well over 21. But if his mother. through Carter, wished to denote him at the mill, if she wished to throw him out altogether, without as much as an allowance, she could.
 She was telling him now just what he might expect if he per- sisted in this silly infatuation.
 But thought you liked Emily"
 T do like her. But she is not the proper wife for you :" She added, And if you have any in- fiuence with her Frank, I'd ad- wise her not to be too carried away by her = job. Otherwise she might not have it very long, in Cranberry"

Selected Poem
OLD MILL DAM

(Arthur Wallace Peach in The Christian Science MonitoD The green of patient woods crept softly down When man departed hiding strand on strand The scattered refuse of his rest less hand; The dark pond waters at the dams curved crown Join for the plunge by linking fin gers brown And form below a gaily dancing
 band; Then in the towering foam across the sand r Their mirth is stilled beneath the pines grave frown. Above. the velvet waters parting free A leaping trout who scatters jewels far
 In rainbow glearns whose. colors flame and cease; And thensthe nipples moving quietly Search for the shadows where the alders are
 And merge in silence with the evenings peace.

TIREn ALL THE TfME

My niece aged IT has no ambi- tion and feels tired all the time. She can lie down and fall asleep at any time of day. Our doctor gave her iron pills, but she has taken a bottle of them and shows no improvement. What causes such a condition? What is the remedy?
 ;(ATrs. l.. c. aT.)
 Ahl An! Read the Instructions. Ma'arn. pr. Brady, the old meanie, does not answer questions pertain ing to diagonsis or treatment. So you are out of order, and we must pass to the next. letter-but don't go way-just listen. and; you may get a helpful suggestion. f.
 Practically everybody, man, worn- an or child, who is not, under medical treatment needs a wee bit of iodine in one form or another, over and above the amount one is likely to get in food or water, to maintain good nutrition, good health, and particularly the "bub- bling over" spirit which is natural in the healthy young person.
 Now it makes no difference at all, as far as we know, in what form the daily. ration of iodine is taken, organic or inorganic, ,ele- mental idodine or iodine in chem ictl, combination, iodine as it occurs naturallys in fish or she'll fish from the sea, in sea weed. in fruit Or vegetables grown on soil that contains iodine or on soil that has been fertilized with iodides or with fish meal or with sea weed, drinking water that naturally con- tains iodine or to which iodide has been added = only SO one gets the amount of iodine required to main- tain good nutrition and good met abolism. Probably enough in serv- ing of canned salmon or a shrimp cocktail or a fllet of halibut to i'll the body's requirement. for a few days. Nutrition authorities estimate that the daily requirement is from 50 to 200 micrograms of pure elemen- tai iodine, and there are approxi- mately 65,000 micrograms in grain q can't guarantee my arithmetic, but anyway wee bit of iodine goes a long way in nutrition).
 In the "Iodin Ration" pamphlet, available on request if you provide stamped self addressed envelope, instructions have been simplified so that there need be no more con- fusion regarding various strengths of iodine or percentages of alcohol or poison" labels. What I call "Iodin Ration" has only one strength, no alcohol, and of course no poison label,

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS
 Building Blood

am asking If you have any in- structions on how to build blood. have now given five pints of blood to the Red Cross blood bank, and while I enjoy perfect health, suppose I ought to try to keep my blood built up. Mrs. w. L. F0
 Answer - Generally the donors blood is up to full strength within two weeks after donation, with out doing anything about it. How ever, you may find some practical information in booklet Blood and Health" for copy of which send ten cents and stamped self ad- dressed envelope.
 Children Should Have Pets
 Daughter aged 3 very fond of animals, so I got her a kitten. In playing with the kitten she gets fur on face and hands. Friends say 8 cat is likely to communicate var ious diseases to children.
 (Mrs. E. K.) ]. Answer-Every child should have 8 pet-cat. dog, pony, goat, duck. rabbit. whatever the child likes, in- cluding toad, lizard, snake. Teach the child to be gentle and careful in handling the pet and to, wash hands with soap and water imme- diately after handling the pet.
 Ten Visits
 Incidentally l, had my hernia cured by ten visits to the doctors office dnjectionsl. Very little dis comfort or inconvenience. Have been back on my old job working hard for over year since and no more trouble. Thank you, sir, for the ad- vice. I'd never have had an opera tion. c. L. LeE.)
 Answer-Nor would I submit to operation if I had hernia. not un- til I had given the injection treat- ment 8 fair trial. Failure, recur- renee of hernia, is as likely to fol- low the radical operation. as it is to follow the anbulant treatment.

Cerlough Application Ignored;
Supervisor Middle Unclarified

termine gas pressures and oil-gas
producing ratios, survey well sites,
determine well site elevations, and
so on.
Gerlough was also the only ap-
plicant entitled to preference under
the veterans preference employ
ment laws of Montana. On April 25,
r. P. Jackson, secretary of the Mon
tana Oil Conservation Board, noti-
fled the board of rail commissioners,
by telegram, that the board had
picked Gerlough for the Shelby
post.
Members of the oil industry here
this week were hopeful that Com
missioners Smith and Casey would
review their decision with regard
to Gerlough, in order that the oil
conservation board might be justi-
fled in continuing to meet part of
the expense of maintaining two in
Spectors.
The regulatory laws of Montana
applicable to drilling wells and oil
and gas producing industries give
the board of railroad commissioners
exclusive authority to regulate the
location, drilling, casing and plug
BlhS u webs, ct10 tncfC1O1E tAAC
sole right to employ field men to
supervise such activities.
The Oil Conservation Board has
authority to appoint field men to
perform any service that 1t may re-
quire.
If the members of the two boards
cannot agree on appointees to serve
in any field or district, at joint ex-
pense, the only alternative appar-
emily will be for each board to select
its own appointees.
Such procedure would be gen
orally wasteful, uneconomic, and
not in the best interests of the
state, the oil industry, or the public.
In making clear the oil board
stand with regard to applicants, r.
P. Jackson, board secretary, said.
The Oil Boards selection of Mr.
Gerlough TO succeed Mr.. Platt at
Shelby was no reflection on the
abilities and merits of other appli
cants considered. Many of them
are known to be high class work
men of unblemished reputation ir
the oil fields for skill and industry
in drilling wells and most of then
are personal friends of one or more
of the Oil Board members. If the

cient service, the Montana Oil Con-
servation Board, using a portion
of the 4 of a cent a barrel pro-
duction tax collected from all OPP
orators in the state, has in the past
aided Che commission in paying the
expenses of the inspectors. The
board was not obligated to do so,
but has done so only in the best in
terests of the industry,
It was an experiment in co-opera-
tive regulation by state govern
mental agencies that operated eff
GENTLY and satisfactorily under the
supervision of Plat, and L. G. Hink-
ley, the Billings supervisor. There
were no complaints and numerous
favorable comments from operators
who recognize and appreciate good
field supervisory service.
At the original meeting held in
Great Falls to name successor to
Platt. a Joint session attended by
oil board members and the three
commission members, the oil board
members voted unanimously to
name Gerlough to the post vacated
by Plat. Gerlough applied for the
Shelby post only, hence action by
the two board members in appoint
ing him to the Billings post came
this week as a shock to the board
members, who had felt the commits
sioners would be willing to cooper
ate in obtaining efficient and quail
fled supervision of an important
state industry.
Gerlough was favored and named
by the oil board because his applica-
ton, plus investigation, showed him
to be the only applicant profess
sionally qualified. Gerlough is a
geologist and mining engineer and
has had about 20 years experience
in Montana fields as manager of
oil and gas field well drilling and
producing operations. He was there
fore named, as the only applicant
fully qualified.
Because of the demands made up
on it by governmental agencies, and
private industry, the oil conserva-
ton board must employ the services
of geologist or engineer, qualified
to handle oil and gas production,
storage and conservation problems,
to estimate oil and gas reserves, de
