When a child or an adult has a cold he should be treated as if he were sick and net be allowed to run about, infecting other children and keeping himself ill much longer than is necessary. If a cold is taken in the beginning it should be very easy to cure, but if one disregards the slight fever which accompanies it, and the chilling and discomfort and persists in stay ing at one’s regular dutles it will be much harder to get rid of. When a child has a cold give him a hot bath and put him to bed. Feed him nourishing but easily digested foods. Give him a mild laxative and keep him in bed until his cold is better. 1t is harder to entertain child in bed than it’is to let him run around and entertain himself, but a day or two of this treatment will kill a cold, while it may hang on for weeks the other way. Greasing the nose will relieve the irritation and one grease is just about as good as another. Keep the child warm in bed, but keep the air in the room fresh. Breathing stale air is no way to get rid of ary ail ment. Frults and fruit juices; lots of water to drink; milk or buttermilk: vegetable purees, juices and broths; cereal gruels; soft eggs or an egg beaten into milk or into the cereal, will supply the child with plenty of food of the right kind. For the first day it may be better to give fruit juices every two hours and vegetable broths once or twice daily. If the feyer goes down and the child feels better one can start the cereal and ege in addition to the fruits There is a loss of minerals when there ix fever and that is one reason that fruit juices and vegetable soups seem to fill the bill so well. They ally do make up this loss and the ystem is grateful. The main thing in a cold is to keep the child quiet, feed him lightly on foods that will stay his appetite without being any burden to his sys- tem. Keep his bowels functioning well and his body temperature even, not chilled one moment and over- heated the nexi, as may well be the e if the child isn't in bed. This answers the question often Shall I take my baby out of when he has a cold.” 1f the her is very cold, no, becausesit is harder to keep him warm and com- fortable. Give him plenty of fresh ail all day in the house, but keep this fresh air warmed. Mrs. M. I hope you do mot miss (or did not) the article on acidity. It is quite possible that this condition would be aggravated when the child a cold. Your girl of nearly 2 vears, welghing only 21 pounds, which is an average weight for a yvear, is evidently not being given as good a diet as she needs. This would be one reason for the acidity, accen- tuated by the fact that she probably does not take even that much food when she has a cold: 1 think you made a mistake not to train her to the stool. This should not have a con- stipating effect, unless you are forc- ing more stools than are natural.

Dear Lois Leeds: (1) T have been troubled with pimples and blackheads for a year and a half and would lke to get rid of them. Most of the pim- the blackheads. (2) How can I get rid of puffs under the eyes? If 1 make a “long face” they disappear, but 1 cannot go around with a long face all the time. (3) Does water harm the hair? (4) How can I overcome shyness? THE SHEIK. Answer—(1) Give your face the fol- lowing treatment every night for at least two weeks: Wring out a clean fage cloth in hot water and hold it against_your face until it begins to cool. Next wash with tincture of green soap and rinse well in clear water. Now bathe the pimples and blackheads with hot boric acid solu- tion and gently press out the ‘‘ripe” ones. Be careful not to bruise the skin. You may use a comedo ex- pressor for removing the blackheads. Prick the pimples with a sterilized needle and gently press out the secre- tion. Now rinse the skin in a basin- ful of water to which a few drops of tincture of benzoin have been added. Dry the face with a soft, clean cloth and put on some of the following acne lotion: Two drams sulphate of zinc, one and one-half ounces rose water, one-half dram sublimated sulphur. Leave this lotion on over night. Next morning wash and dry your face and pat,on some more lotion. Please send a stamped, self-addressed envelope for my “Complexion Ills,” that gives other treatments for your skin condi- tion. (2) The puffs under vour eves may be due to lack of sufficient sleep LEEDS or to eye strain. Ascertain the cause and remove it. (3) The daily use of water on the hair is considered large- ly responsible for the almost universal baldness of men in middle life It is better to use brilliantine to keep your hair in place. Shampoo your hair no oftener than once a week if it Is very oily, and twice a month if it is not_especially oily, but just average. (4) The only cure for shyness is to learn to be more interested in others than in your own feelings. Take time to give yourhelf a well groomed ap- pearance and then forget it. Mingle with others soclally ad much as you can and gradually you will become used to meeting people easily. LOIS LEEDS. Reducing Methods. Dear Miss Leeds: I would like to lose about 15 pounds. As dieting and exercise do not seem to help me. I am thinking of trying reducing tab- lets. Are them harmful? DISCOURAGED ANNETTA. Answer—Do not take any reducing drugs, my dear, If you value your health and good looks. Such drugs should not he taken except under a physiclan’s direction. Dieting and ex- ercise are the only healthful means of reducing excess weight. It may be that your bones are larger and heavier than the average, so that you really should weigh more than the figure given in height-weight tables. If you are in vour teens, do not worry about your supposed overweight. If you are older, please send a stamped, self-ad- ressed envelope for my leaflet on ‘How to Lose Weight. LOIS LEEDS.

(2) How can I bleach my complexion and get rid of pimples, ~ blackheads and ~enlarged pores? I am 13 years old. ANXIOUS. Answer—(1) Better leave your eye- brows as they are. You can train them into a pretty curve simply by brushing them every day with a small evebrow brush. If you pluck them or have them plucked they will grow in rapidly and be a nuisance to you.

'Tis as easy to be right as wrong—and to one's glory A reader has written us to inquire concerning seating arrangements while motoring. Here is her letter: “Anne Arden, “Dear Madam: In your very help- n will you kindly state the proper seating of guests in an auto, also on which side does a lady sit when riding with a gentleman?

How strange it would seem for the guest to bolt from the house in an absent- minded manner after, let us say. Iuncheon, and pile into the motor car, taking any seat that suited her fancy. If host and guest approach the wait- ing car together, there should be an apparent hesitancy on the part of the guest ahout entering. The host will step to the open door and assist the guest up the atep and into the car. At this point, there must be an indi- cation if the guest is to occupy other than just any available seat. If the trip is a scenic one and the host or hostess wishes the guest to have the advantageous seat, as far as view is pncerned, the host will probably say, with a nod: “The seat in the far corner, please.” \o ensuing explanations are to take place about the corner heing the best seat because of the view.

If the car is to have four or more persons seated in it and a member of the party is to drive, the front seat may be considered the choice seat as it is obvious that much may be seen there that ix not seen from the tonneau.

It is custom that a lady usually sits at the right of a gentleman, but this, too, may depend on conditions. It is safe to say definitely, however, that a lady always enters a car first, but leaves it after, a gentleman, that he may assist her in and out of the vehicle. that her host is very Macedoine Salad.

Mary Smith and Roberts were engaged. A date had been set for the wed- ding, and Mary had already pur- chased her trousseau. No wedding, however, took place, for Robert suddenly stopped visiting Mary. Henry Perplexed, she investigated cause of the sudden absence and learned that Olga Blackwell, a wealthy divores had atracted the attention and alienated the affection of her former flance. She filed suit against her successful rival and charged in her complaint that Mrs. Blackwell had “maliciously, wrong- fully, unlawfully and without justi- fication, induced Henry Roberts to break the engagement with her.” By reason of this wrongful act, Mary Smith claimed that “she had sustained the loss of an advantageous matrimonial opportunity: that her affections had been blighted, and that as a result she suffered great mental distress and humiliation.” She claimed $200,000 damages. The case was heard; Mary came out of it without a finance and with- out the prospective $200,000, for the court said: “There Is no liability on the part of a third person for inducing the breach of a marriage contract, even though the act was done maliciously and wrongfully. To hold a third party subject to damages in a case of this kind might result in a suit by every disappointed lover -against 1 sucéessful rival.” (Cooyright. 1927.) KITTY McKAY BY NINA WILCOX PUTNAM.
