With such freedom there comes re- sponsibility also.

It sounds 80 simple, but where, except for the few women who live in their own homes, can one. get one-half pound of green leaf vegetables, or one-half pound of spinach, or raw carrots? I have visions of asking for them at any of the so- called popular places for the business ‘woman. Just how would you go abdut it?

D. you are afraid you might overeat; this would take the edge off your appetite. Restaurants, as & rule, cook their vegetables so there is not much taste to them—they use too much water and cook them too long, so I don't blame you for not liking the vegetable plate. Usually the meat orders in a restaurant are large enough for two, and frequent); when I am di with a friend, suggest that one of us order a meat dish and the other several vegetables, and then we divide. In this way we do have a larger amount of the vegetables and enough meat or fish for each. I hope you will get something from these suggestions, Miss S. Mrs. C.—I rather imagine you have an irritation of the bladder, rather than betes, but only a physician in per- sonal charge of your case could de- termine this. If it is simply an irrita- tion of the bladder, caused by acid, drinking liberal amounts of water and having a diet composed mostly of the non-acid foods would help. Foods that have been especially helpful are apples, beans, toes, muskmelon and milk. Have your check-up, Mrs. C.

Now that Joan was 4 years pld she ‘was learning to be a help to her ‘Aunt Nancy. ~Many times Nancy was tempted toW¥tell Joan to run along and not bother her, but she knew that small children liked to imitate the actions of their elders, and she also knew that “e: " children to household activities was a worth-while process. It made it easler for them to take their share in home life later on. She planned to let wee Peter do all sorts of things like wiping dishes, dusting, setting table and clearing up rooms. Then when he had a home of his own he could help intelligently. She was doing just that sort of thing with Joan, too. When she swept, Joan used her little broom. When she mopj the floor with the dust mop, Joan did likewise. With the warmer days of Spring came a lowering in the price of eggs and Nancy felt she could use them more frequently. She had omelets for the grown-ups and coddled eggs for Joan. After a hard morning’s work Joan was ready to eat an egg with gusto. Aunt Nancy used to fix the egg in this fash- fon because the white was not rubbery nor the yolk hard. She chose a sauce- pan which would hold two cupfuls of water for one egg. Then she brought the water to boiling, removed it from the fire, put the egg in a covered pan and allowed the pan to stand in a warm lace for eight minutes. She never gmled an egg for little Joan. 1¢ you are interested in using eges in cake making, write’to Nancy Page, care of this Daper. ng_ & stamped: . seli- B eliper aind ok Yor et leusiet on - Band: ard Cakes.” More Lettuce Used. ‘The use of lettuce has grown enor- mously in the last few years as we Tmboriance of saind fnecns in- the diet. im] ce o greens X 1t is said that the production and sale of the iceberg lettuce that is raised on the Pacific Coast has increased with greater rapidity than any crop in his- tory.

AUNT HET a Man’s in’ Love She Has Her Man When He Guards Her Health and Conduct and Wants Her All to Him- self—Proof in Bona Fide Proposal. GIRL asks me how she can tell when a boy is in love with her. You can’t dear. There is no infallible, blown-in-the-bottle test that you 's Jovemaking that will tell you whether you have e & in his heart or merely scratched the surface, whether he is in or you are merely & passing we . According to the 1d song, “men were deceivers ever,” and they still are, and no girl can tell from their sales talk how genuine is the line of affection they carry, A girl can’t tell whether a boy loves her or not by what he says, for, as a general thing, the glibber a man is in lovemaking the less he means it. Real feeling sort of mu up his technique and makes it go bloocey. So long as a man quotes poetry to you and makes romantic speeches it isn’t love. It is applesauce, sweetened to taste. So, when a man teu:“y&xu ‘hmv m:w\;x ‘and wa:ldegul m'ne n.nd‘ thnt an nothing u and tefers vaguely to some glorious future you wil ahase youne ear and out of the other. It listens well, party at the nnm.o A OR is it an indication that a boy cherishes.an undying passion for you when he monmum your soclety and gets pea green with jealousy every time you have another date. 3 ‘There are plenty of men who have to have some woman to tell their troubles to or to strut before and, having found one that likes to do the things that they do and who is a good listener and sympathetic, they fasten themselves on her like the old man of the sea, but far be it from them to assume her board bill and shopping ticket, That is'not on their program at all. ‘There are plenty of other men who camp on a girl's doorstep because they like her mother's cooking and to ride in her papa's automobile while papa pays for the gas, and there are still other men who are dogs in the manager and who have no idea of marrying a girl themselves, but who keep other men away by always hanging around the premises and growling and snapping when any eligible suitor appears on the scene. So you can't judge how much a boy thinks of you by his always being Johnny-on-the-spot. Lots of girls write me that they can tell by the look in a boy’s eyes that he loves them. No woman on earth ever possessed such occult powers as that. A man’s eyes do not reveal his soul. They are just a mirror that reflécts the woman who is looking into them and she sees there what she wants to see. Besides, she generally gets her interpretation wrong. The deep, dark, yearning look she sees is not a hopeless yearning for her. 1t is a longing for his dinner or a cigarette or wondering about how he is going to get the money to pay. the next installment on his flivver. Therefore, don't put any faith in the look that lies in a man’s eyes. It lles. And lies. And lies. Nor need you begin planning whether you will have a church wedding or Just be married at home before an altar made of calla lillies because a boy takes you out and gives you a good time and begs you to kiss him. Stag parties have just as little pep to them as hen parties, and if a boy must have a sweetie to go out with it might as well be you. Besides, many boys have an insatiable appetite for lipstick and one of them may like your flavor better than that some other girl uses. DR '|~1m"u re.'l"l;;wever, four indications of love which a boy gives and which entitle a to sit up and take notice. The first sign that a boy gives of becoming serious is when he begins to want to make it a twosome lnste?d of a crowd and when he desires to stay at home of an evening and talk instead of going out to dance or to some place of amusement. As long as he wants to run with the gang there is nothing doing and one girl with a pretty face and a pair of nimble heels is as good as another, but when he begins to cut a girl out of the herd, to be with her alone, he is marking her for his own. The next sign a boy gives that he is in love is when he be; to try to take care of & girl. So long as he will let her combine lobster ul‘l‘dfulnd ice cream for supper and go out in the rain in satin slippers, so long as 'he takes her on :;!ed parties he is just amusing himself with her and he should worry about what When he orders rare roast beef and mashed potatoes when he takes her out to lunch and makes her go back for her rubbers and a thick coat, however, it 1s because he has begun to think of her as a possible wife and her doctors’ bills have taken on a personal significance.

All other signs fail in dry weather, but not this.

Perhaps you would not call it faith, for faith, I suppose, implies belief in some- thing you do not and cannot know to be true. Perhaps it is confidence rather forgetful and hence unconcerned, indif- ferent, unworried, I believe this univer- sal condition would disappear from our ken and the pill business would suffer a sudden collapse.

One. of these involuntary and unconscious functions is the control and regulation of the digestive processes, and particularly the motor activities or propulsive movements of the alimentary canal. So long as an individual is alive and not stricken by any grave organic disease or mortal injury, nature will take care of this function, all right, until and unless interfered with. ‘The kind of interference that most readily upsets the nice adjustments, the wonderful co-ordination of nature in the control and regulation of this func- tion, is the crude habit of resorting to cathartics, enemas or other artificial aids, so called. And now I want to dispose of the final obstacle in the way of the liberation of millions of slaves of the physic habit. I do hope that you will find what I say about this not only , but feasible for adoption into your own philosophy of life.

Iam well aware of the many difficulties that confront the old physic habitue who would follow the course I suggest. But, nevertheless, I know from ample experience that it is absolutely , and therefore I do not hesitate to it myself in this way. The essential thing, the idea I am striving to get over to the listener, is not faith, but something more—confi: dence, assurance, the certainty that na- | ture is capable of handling the matter in any and all circumstances if not in- terfered with. And, unfortunately, you can interfere with nature very disas- trously by the mere exercise of intro- spective thought, anxiety, worry, fear or concern. So you see, don't you, how indis- pensable it is for the success of your effort to gain freedom from the thrall- dom of Fms and more injurious prac- tices that one must first have confidence .

SPROWLS. Some people are noted for their tend- ency to praise any one and every one who does something, be that something worthy of praise or otherwise. These praise dispensers often go to extremes. In so doing they reveal a weakness—a weakness . for popularity and recogni- tion. You might call this sort of prais- ing patronizing praise. Contrasted with these “gushers” there are other people who never have a word of praise for any one under any circum- stances.. They also reveal a weakness. Suffering from a general feeling of in- feriority, they take no chances of ag- gravating that feeling by finding any- thing good to say of another. They just cannot be reminded of their own weakness by hearing about the virtues of ‘another, much Jess admitting such virtues themselves. Such lack of praise smounts to an open admission of in- feriority. It is a curious fact, but none the less a fact, that practically every one does most of his praising in behalf of those who have the same defects. No one is perfect. No one is_entirely unconscious of his own imperfections. Noticing the same imperfections in another, he is likely to say something nice about him, in order to assume a perfection he does not himself possess. ‘The inmates of prisons display in their choice of meaning of the psychology of praise. Like recognizes like. The 10-year servers somehow look down upon the five-year servers. They behave as if the five-year men were weaklings, to have committed so small a crime. To sum up the psychology of praise one needs first to consider but "two things—weakness and compensation for it; in other words, inferiority and its opposite, superiority. In this sense praising is a defense mechanism. ‘There is, of course, a sort of praise giving standing altogether outside the question of inferlority and the compen- sation for it. Such praise is offered only when the praiser is reminded that he lives in a world of other people, all of whom possess egos quite as impor- | tant as his own. Then praise turns out to _be something more enduring. We call it honor, and set up enduring mon- uments in order to perpetuate our deci- MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN.

Once I wrote a very flattering letter for the son of a friend of mine. He deserved the sentiments I expressed at the time, but a year later he got into serious trouble. " He still retaned my letter, though, and presented it to a prospective employer. By that time he didn’t measure up to my estimate of him. So I'm through writing letters of introduction.” This recalls a letter written by Benjamin Franklin while he was living in Paris. It follows: “Sir: The bearer of this, who is going to America, presses me to give him a letter of A/ recommendation, though I know noth- ing of him, not even his name. This may seem extraordinary, but I assure you it is not uncommon here.
