NEW FATHER BY R. F. DICKSON, Wednesday night. ‘Josn has a diet bodk which the doctor gave her for the baby, and her grandmother got hold of it this evening and read part of it. said, “This is a fine sample of Your mew-fangled notions: ‘Diet list from one to three months’ ‘from three to six months,’ ‘from six to eight month.’'” 1 said, “What's wrong with that?” and she sald, “When I was raising my bables—and you never saw a healthier bunch in your whle life, either, young man— I fed them what I knew they needed. They were the fattest children I ever came across They ate mostly what they wanted to eat, and not one of them was ever sick a day. But now you feed bables according to the calendar. If food didn't spoil you could stock up vour pantry a year ahead, because you know exactly how much of what you are going to give your baby w.ll be used at any hour on any day for months in the future. It maces me tired.” 1 said, “The doctors who figured that diet list out probably knew what they were doing.” She sald, “Nature gave mothers sense and babies appet.ties before civilization gave us doctors,” and 1 sald, “Nature gave us teeth before civilization gave us tooth brushes. te0.” and she said, “Now you're on a tender subject. I'm going to take mine out and go to bed.” Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLL MEYER ELDRED. The latest developments in finfant feeding offer more food the first year than has formerly been thought essen- tial. Children who weigh less than 15 pounds at 6 months will take less than the generally prescribed amount of milk, which {8 22 ounces at 6 months. From 6 to 9 months the schedule is: 6 a.m. -Breast feeding or a bottle feeding of 8 ounces. The formula will consist from 22 to 28 ounces of whole milk, 1% ounces of sugar, yolk of one raw egg and sufficient water to make five 8-ounce feedings. 8 a.m.- Two to three tablespoons of sweet orange juice. # 'Cod liver oil, one or two teaspoon uls. 10 a.m.—Breast or bottle feeding. the same as at 6 a.m. Also one or two tablespoons of well cooked cereal (run through strainer) This may be given In the bottle feed ing or with part of bottle formuln oured over it and the rest to drink reast-fed babies will get the cereal feeding from a spoon. 2 p.m.—Vegetable soup. Part bot- tle feeding or short breast feeding. Start with 1 ounce of soup and gradually Increase until child can take 8 ounces at a feeding. This soup feeding can thus gradually take the place of the milk or breast feeding. p.m.—Breast or bottle feeding, 8 ounces.

John Henderson marries Helena Ford without telling her that he has tired of her. When they return from their honeymoon Nalalie, Helena's vounger sister, is married. On their trip to Havuna Helena and John meet @ charming widow, Nina Price. John shows wvery evident interest in her. Helena admits to Natalie the fa- that she is sure Johm doesn’t love her, and Natalie adeises her to fight for him if she cares enough. In an effort ‘o hold him she begins to weave a wed about him, but it seems to do no good. In the Spring after their marriage he depdrts on a business trip for the coast. and plans to stop in Denver, where Mrs. Price lives On his arrival he calls her up and she invites him to her home for din- ner. CHAPTER XXVIIL A Widow'’s Wiles. Nina entered the room accompanied by another woman, a rather impres- sive blond, whom she introduced as Mrs. Paymond. “It's so good to see you,” she said, holding out both her hands to him. “Strange about these steamer ac- quaintances, one never forgets. I do hope you're going to like Denver, Mr. JOHN'S PRESENT MOOD WAS A ____VERY ROMANTIC ONE Henderson. We have rather a good crowd, haven't we, Phyllis, and man- age to have some good times.” It was a charming dinner. There were ten of them, and Nina had placed John at her right. As she said, the crowd was jolly and not at all formal. Before the meal was half over John felt as if he had known them for a long time.

Dr. answer inquiries that appear 1o be repre- sentative of the (rends of thought in the many letters Jhich he receives, Compton, TI. What proofs have we of the resur- rection of Jesus from the dead? Answer—Fiist, there is the docu- mentary evidence. The New Testa- ment records of Christ's appearances after His crucifixion and burial are not wholly consistent with each other. But thelr disparities show absence of collusion and strengthen the case for truth of the assertion was seen again after His death. Any judge In court who hears the same story told in exactly the same way by different witnesses has good grounds for suspecting their in- tegrity. Second, there is the institutional evidence. The Christian Church and many of her institutions can be traced with certainty to the belief of His first disciples that their Lord had risen from the dead. Nothing less than this bellef accounts for the transforming change in their attitude Nothing less explains the origin and growth of the organization which bears Christ's name. The very early observance of the day of His resur- rection as the Christian’s holy day corroborates these statements. In that observance is the unbroken week ly witness of nea 2.000 years to the validity of Christ's triumph over the tomb. Last, there is the evidence of ex perience. Bellevers in Christ of every creed and sect have always claimed the reality of their fellowship with Him as with One who still lives and works with power and demonstration in their souls. Of course, this expe- rience is convincing only for those who enjoy it. The question as to how He com- quered death is independent of the precise manner in which He convinced His first disciples of His victory. After that event death's bondage was broken for them and for all who ac- cepted the fruits of His victory. Rome, N. Y. Don’t you agree that there is some- thing very attractive about slang? T use it, although I am aware of its weaknesses and confess that I am pleased to hear it. Answer—Slang is occasionally serv- iceable to the language. But there is no emotion, sentiment or phase of thought that cannot be better ex- pressed In correct speech than in the dialects which either indicate appall- ing Intellectual poverty or the cheap and _shabby cleverness that passes muster with the moronic mind.

After dinner Nina organized two tables of bridge. She asked John if he wanted to play, and he tmmedi- ately @aped to the conclusion that she ~anted him to say no. she had no intention of .playing her- self, Inasmuch as there were two over | and she was the hostess, and besides he wanted to talk to her. They wandered out.on the porch and there was a moon. They sat in the swing and once more John wished vaguely that he lived in the suburbs. There was something so lazily com- fortable about a porch and a swing and waving trees and the like. “How is everything in New York?" Nina asked sweetly. “Is Mrs. Hen- derson well? Oh, asked you that over the telephone, didn't I? Well, how’s that charming little sister-in- law of yours? What a darling child she is.” “Natalie is a nice kid,” John said carelessly. “I'm very fond of her.” Nina laughed. “I rather thought so from certain observations made on the last evening we were together.” In the darkness John flushed. He had been wondering if she would re member that evening. What had pos- sessed him to flirt with Na‘alie course, that night she had been ador- able and very provocative, He had simply been infected by her mood and responded to her, but it hadn't meant a thing. “Nonsense,” he said with a short laugh. Natalie and I alwavs play the clown when we are together.” “She has quite a dancerous line.’ Nina said smoothly. “It rather playe: havoc with her ‘husband, It wa amusing to notice how jealous hc was.” “‘As a matter of fact, she is mad about him. I never saw two peop! who were more in love,” returnec John. Silence for a moment while the: swung back and forth. And the Nina spoke again, this time dreamily “Do you believe in love?” “Of course.” “Really?” “Yes, I do.” “I don’t know very much about it You see, Mr. Price was so mu h olde: than I. He was my father's friend and T was just a child when we wer | married. Of course I thought I loved him, but I was full of romance and very ignorant. He was really morc like a father to me than a husband and when he died I cried for days.” John's present mood was a very romantic one. He could imagine Nina, slim and childish, in sombe: black, weeping over her husband's death. “You poor little girl,” he said fee: I asked you if you be lieve in love,” Nina said wistfully “After all, I've never experienced the real thing. I mean the kind that sweeps vou off your feet and puts you in a state of mind where nothing mat ters. Men so seldom attract me.” John wondered if he attracted her, and was suddenly curious. She wa: certainly interesting woman and doubly attractive to him now that he knew the history of her mar riage. Fancy a girl hardly more than a child married to a man old enough to be her father! It was really tragic. He hated to think of it. (Covyright, 5.) (Continued in tomorrow’s Star.) QUESTIONS PARKES CADMAN vinelng their arguments, unsparing their invectives or moving their ex- hortations the style they employ is pure. It avolds the superfluous or- namentation which reminds one of a bedizened woman, and repudiates the ‘anguage of the gutter or of certain groups. , Our common speech is the Nation’s richest heritage, compared with which its gold is trash. Its genius has nourished our people in law, litera- ture, art and religion. Why should vulgarisms and dialectical jargons of every conceivable form sully its luster or_lower its dignity? Milton, per! the greatest master of mighty and beautiful English prose, says: For let the words of a country be in part unhandsome and offensive in themselves; in part de- based by wear or wrongly uttered, and what do they declare but that the inhabitants of that country are an indolent, idly yawning race, with minds already g prepared for any amount of servility? On the other hand, we have never heard of any empire or state that did not flourish as long as its care for its language lasted.” ‘Wilmington, Del. Are not the viclous results of gambling due to the weakness of a man’s morals? Answer—Herbert Spencer was the nhilosopher of agnosticism and there- fore cannot be accused of a decided leaning toward Christian teaching in the formation of his prnciples of con- duct. Yet he condemned gambling as unsoclal—that is, militating against the welfare of society. If all men were, presumably, like yourself, de- voted to the Aristotelian maxim— nothing In excess—there might have been no outcry against gambling. But excess is the rule rather than the ex- ception with many who gamble. For this reason lotteries were condemned in England and many of our States, restrictions placed on betting, and there is a hot remonstrance now being made against Winston Church- ill's proposal to tax certain forms of racetrack gambling to swell the Je- pleted British exchequer. The gambler is a type, and not a high tvpe at that. He succumbs to the attractiveness of chance, ignor- ing the fact that in the end the hank will beat him if he plays long en.mgh, No. the vicious resnlts of gambling are not due to the inherent weaknsss of men's morals so much as the fas- cinations ot easy money. For this reason wise men and women do not gamble, (Copsright 1928.)

My way with Patsy, who feared animals, was ' take the an.mal's part. “Oh, Patsy,” I would say, “you're frighten- < that poor little cat.” Then I would pet the Kkitty and tell the animal not . be afraid, that Patsy did not mean ) scare her. Patsy would come closer, trigued by the idea that she terror- =d this wild animal. In the course »f time she, too, would assure the tty there was nothing to be afrald finally even patting the cat’s head. She may never really like cats or &5 but at least she does not go into panic now when she passes one. (Copvright. 1926.) “Puzzlicks” ~——Puzzle-Limericks.
