Just how this can be done recently was revealed by a protective bureau. The stock of a concern was recom- mended by telegraph to all subscribers to the tipster sheet. Selling at 13 on the stock exchange, it was advised that price of $40 a share would be attained this year. Readers of the sheet were’advised to switch from their “inactive securities” at_once and place orders at market. Subsequently the stock sold down to $10 a share, and it is doubtful if it will sell at a much higher price this year. ‘This should receive the attention of woman investors, The fact that a “tipped” or recommended stock is sold on the New York Stock Exchange does not mean it is safe from manipulation.

Mothers undecided about the variety of food which may be given the baby of one year will find some valuable sug- gestions in the outline of this healthy baby’s day. “May I have your advice?” asks Mrs. H. J. W. “San is a year old and welghs 25 pounds. At 5 months he had four teeth and weighed 19 pounds. The doctor put him on a three-meal-a-day diet and he has had that ever since. “Breakfast—Two to three ounces of orange juice. Six tablespoons of oat- meal or cream of wheat. Six ounces of dried milk. “Lunch—Two to three ounces of beef broth. Six tablespoons of sieved vege- tables—carrots, cabbage, peas or string beans, Six ounces of dried milk for- mula. “Night tablespoons _ of stewed fruit such as peaches, pears, ap- ples or apricots, his six ounces of dried milk formula and some dessert such as jello, junket or cup custard. His hours are 7:30, 12:30 and 5:30 o'clock, a1 - he gets no food at any other times. He sleeps from 7 to 6 o'clock and takes two naps daily of about an hour each. “I would like to change to fresh milk. He doesn’t care for the beef broth and I wonder if I could discard this, and can I stop sieving the vegetables? Also must I continue to boil his drinking water? Shall I give cod liver ofl this Winter? How? How about eggs, ba- con and chopped meat? I read your column daily and find your answers to other readers have many times solved my own problems.” Baby is being beautifully fed, Mrs. H. J. W. You need not worry about the difficulty of changing from dried to fresh milk.” Give one cup feeding of fresh cows' milk (grade A pasteurized milk from an ordinary cow, and not one giving too rich a milk), and in a week give another cup feeding in place of another bottle feeding. Yoy may discard the plain soup (to me this is valueless unless it contains vegetables) since baby gets plenty of the vegetables in his diet. them unsieved and if they are not too laxi- tive for him, you may continye just mashing them finely. If your water supply is the usual good one in cities, you need not boil the water any longer. Cod liver oil is in ordsr this Winter, or one of the irradiated ergosterols. Do not overdose, and don't forget that sunshine is neces- sary too. Our feeding leaflet gives di- rections for giving cod liver oil. Ir- radiated ergosterols must be advised and doses suggested by a doctor. and finely chopped meats are both quite all right in the menu of the year-old child. We offer also a leaflet called, meal—Six “Week’'s Menu for the Child From One to Two Years,” which is very helpful in balancing the diet properly. A self-addressed, stamped envelope will bring one or both of these leaflets to any interested reader. THE STAR’S .

Answer: Why, my dear Mrs. L. E. M, “there ain’t no sich a animal” as a model husband; and if there were no woman would be able to abide one as a household pet. He would get on her nerves so that she would take the and chase out of the front door. Fancy just an ordinary human woman with a and a tongue and fussy little ways and prejudices and disagreeable little bits and a tendency to nagging and saying “I told you so” being married to a perfect man who was always right, who neven made mistakes, who was always serene and calm and superior! What a humiliating contrast he would be to her! What a living re- proof he would be to her! What a shining example he would always be ting her! What a worm of dust he would always make her feel! No woman's vanity could stand that, and it would be the divorce court for her. If I were trying to construct a model husband I shouldn't give him too many perfections. On the contrary, I should endow him with enough faults to put him in my own class and keep him minding his fences and to give me a good talking point in any little family argument. There isn’t anything like having a snappy comeback handy when any one calls attention to your defects. So I wouldn't make my model husband a mush-and-milk creature with no more backbone than a jellyfish, nor would I make him a doormat that I could walk over and kick about as I chose. I would give him plenty of temper, but he would have it under control. He would be strong, but gentle and tender. He would be determined, but just and reasonable. " T would have my model husband a domestic man, but he would not be r henpecked creature who dared not call his soul his own and who meekly followed in the woman's wake, nor would he permit her to ruin her career or run him into debt with her extravagance. In & word, my model husband would be the head of his house, not because he was arbitrary of tyrannical, but because his wisdom, his strength and his fitness for the made him the natural ruler of it. My model husband would have a good ition. He would be amiable and good-natured and cheerful, one who met inevitable trials and tribuls- tions of life with philosophy. He would be a ray of sunshine in the home and the turning of his key in the lock when he returned of an evening would make the whole family brighten up. My model husband would be both just and generous to his wife. He would not think that because his wife worked in a kitchen instead of in an office she was not entitled to any return for her labors. He would know that a woman hates financial dependence just as much as a man does and that it galls her just as much to have to ask him for every J*'m’ as it would humiliate him to have to beg money from even the most indulgent father, so he would ve his wife as large an allowance as he could afford and make her feel that was her right and not a favor that he was bestowing upon her. Finally, the model husband would never take his wife for granted. He wouldn't expect her to be a mind reader who would know that he still loved and admired her though he never told her so, or paid her a compliment, or gave her a kiss that wasn't a peck of duty on the cheek. And if a man will do these things, if he will be amiable and pleasant to get along with, if he will be free-handed, if he will' jolly his wife along and make love to her, he may have all the other faults in the calendar and she DOROTHY DIX. will still think he is a model husband.

Now he well off and seems to have no more use for me. He never stays home nights if he can get away. He's always of the good looks and good clothes of other women. He never asks me to dinner or a show, and I'm 29 and like a good time.

Include at least one frilly feminine neglige. anything that might be classed “durable.” Select only the sheer, the lacy, the perishable, for they are the things men like. Before dressing up in your new clothes, make an appointment at the best available beauty or for a com- plete treatment—hair, facial, nails. Seek advice as to how to overcome your points,and accentuate your good one Last on the list, engage a thoroughly competent cook and maid. Then home, dress yourself up—and give friend husband the shock of his life! Of course, these suggestions are for superficial improvement. But they are, none the less, important. Gradually you will recapture the mood to match your new exterior. Read, see plays, hear music. Get something to talk about besides the high cost of eggs and what the neighbor next door sald that morning. Make a study of charm. A man may be homely, minus taste, and without any of the social graces, but so long as he is clean, kind and generous his wife will not complain. A man, however, wants his wife to be attractive, a “credit” to him. She is a sort of walking advertisement of his success, and he likes to parade her for the edification of his fellows. Prom your letter I judge you have lost sight of this male eccentricity. You've devoted yourself to his cre-u}re comforts, forgetting the necessity for the wiles and blandishments that would hold him in spite of the sirens’ <ong.
