BY OLl‘)'E ROBERTS BARTON. “« 'HERE is Vike?” “He was around a few minutes ago. Lang, go down and tell the movers that everything with light green on it goes in the kitchen. There's your father | calling you. See what he wants.” | “Did you see Vike?” Lang asked his father. ~ “I can't find him.” “‘Here, help me get these baskets into the house and watch you don't let one fall. They're filled with your mother's best china.” Mr. Gruver surveyed the contents of the jammed car parked insig- nificantly behind the titanic moving vans. Lang'’s eyes, darting here and there, | plerced every recess of the suburban street. But no long-legged, limber- tailed Vike was to be seen. The furniture was all in and so were the family, the maid and the bird. But the muddy marks on the porch bore only the prints of shoes. No circular clusters were anywhere in evidence. Vike had not been there and it did not | look as though he was coming. “I'll have to go back to the old " announced the boy. “He’s gone back there.” “It's getting dark and you haven’t had your supper. It's half an hour’s trip in the street car and your father’s too dead tired to take the car out again.” Lang couldn't eat any supper. All evening he wandered up an down call- ing and whistling until the neighbors decided that the other family with the radio was better than the new one that possessed & boy and a dog. Vike did not come back the next day and after school Lang hurried over to the old house. But no one in the neighborhood had seen him recently. The week following several things happened, among them the event of Gruver being sent to the prin- cipal's office for perpetual inattention, failure to get lessons, and being tardy four times in three days. But this time the tragic story was poured into sympathetic ears. Prof. Price was & voung man with red hair. He had sharp, blue eyes and wore a terribly rough suit. lost his dog,” he declared. “I couldn’ work if I'd lost my child. A dog’s like your child, isn’t he! going to get my hat and we’ll go on/| a regular lion hunt, you and I. We'll| comb this town with a dog comb and we'll hook every pup over three inches | high and ask his name.” The boy and the man strode down street, and took a car at the corner to| the dog pound: Vike was standing near | the wire fence, sad and aloof from the| milling crowd in the center. It was| his last day of grace. | ‘The keeper went in and got him out. ‘There is a wonderful portrait waiting to be done, entitled, “The Picture of a ‘Boy Who Has Found His Dog.” There is no other expression like it on a boy's face—or %a dog's. Lang was radiant. Vike licked him all over, yelping his to thank you for helping Lang find Vike,” said Mrs. Gruver's voice over the telephone next day. “Mr. Gruver is 50 busy he couldn’t do much, and we’'ve just moved so I couldn’t go “Sure!

In scrubbing wooden floors with a brush, care should be taken to use the brush’ with the grain of the wood and not_crosswise or in a circular motion, as this wears up the wood. A good way to take spots from waxed floors 18 to rub the spot with a very little alcohol and then cover over with a little fresh wax. A way to bleach and clean un- finished wood that has become discol- ored is to apply with a brush a solution made from one teaspoonful of oxalic acld and a cupful of hot water. This should be allowed to dry on the wood and then the surface should be scrubbed well with soap and water. Stale Bread. Bread that is stale may be cut very thin and placed each piece separately in a flat baking tin. Bake in a very slow oven until the bread is a rich gol- | den brown. It is then delicious to serve hot or cold with plenty of but- | ter.

Nancy was having the best time helping Susan choose some clothes for her honeymoon and first Summer in her own home. Susan’s pocketbook was not as plump as she would like to have had it, so Nancy advised her to buy materials by the yard and then make up & few clothes. “You have that good dressmaker who knows enough to stop before her clothes get that ‘homemade’ look, you have time and good taste and you can get better results for the same amount of money. Of course, there are certain parts of your outfit that you will buy ready made. But at any rate let's look at_yardage materials.” Nancy and Susan preceded their shop- | ping trip with a careful perusal of good | style magazines. They read the cur- | rent style news, then they spent same time window shopping and walking through the ready-to-wear departments. As a result, thoy decided they would | be safe in buying some linen -for wash | dresses. Much of it is being used in sports and morning dresses. ‘These are usually made with sleeves | just long enough t6 act as arm caps. They bought some eyelet batiste, which is increasingly popular, but when it ceme to a dinner dress they went to | the ready-to-wear department. They chose one of chiffon, with large flowers rather mistily and vaguely printed on it. With this they chose a short taffeta jacket, and then they became extrava- gant and purchased a longer taffeta coat which seemed just made for cool evenings of a Summer honeymoon.

Farmer Browns Boy was taking him for a walk and it was the first good chance Flip had to really stretch his legs, and they needed stretching. Anyway, that is the way he felt.

Now they were to spend some time on & ranch and Farmer Brown's Boy was as eager as Flip to get acquainted with this new and. g It was on the edge of the descrt and Farmer Brown's Boy, used to the cool, green carpet of grass on the Green Meadows at home, spreading shade of many trees, and the many shades of green of bushes and vines and young trees, could see little of beauty in this 1and of sand and heat.

Aura of Migraine. ‘The neurosis commonly known as periodic one-sided sick headaches is medically called migraine. An old- fashioned way of saying migraine was megrim. That physicians classify the trouble as a neurosis does not mean that it is “just nerves.” Doctors call any ailment that manifests itself mainly through disturbance of functions of the nervous system and has no definite pathology & neurosis. Primarily a person having such an ailment is a nerotic, but this term has been loosely and unintelligently used by the laity until it ‘has lost its original meaning and now means anything or nut.’hlnl. preferably something cowardly or low. ‘When I say & neurosis has no definite pathology, I mean we know of no par- ticular organic change or damage or lesion which accounts for the trouble. For instance, epllepsy is a neurosis; no doctor can tell by examination of the patient or by examination of the body Engr death, that the individual has or a lepsy. Ey?egaflu been called a motor neu- rosis and m! € & Sensory neurosis. There is considerable similarity between the two. Either condition is likely to occur in certain members of the family of an alcoholic forbcar or a feeble- minded forbear or a drug addict or one who was “queer” or frankly subject to one or another form of insanity. But migraine, like epilepsy, may occur here and there in a family where no such neurotic ancestry can be traced. truth is we know nothing whatever about the cause of either ailment. An aura or warning precedes the seizure of ;Ruepsy or the seizure of migraine. thout such aura we can scarcely make a positive diagnosis of migraine. Sometimes the migraine vic- tim has the aura yet escapes the head- ache or the nausea and vomi alto- ine is “fortification scoto- mata.” That means a flickering or flashing of zig-zag lights, a vision the victim has for several minutes before the headache begins. The scotomata are usually limited to one-half of the visual fleld, the side on which the head- ache is felt. There is just one kind of headache which I think is worse than figraine— I have never had either kind, but I what doctors cal - i . ‘|m[)vms-s ALV calls for a ‘"doudw constipation; so any suggestion of bad breath. Whenever older children don’t eat well, don't rest well, or have any little upset, a more liberal dose of this pure vegetable preparation is usually all that’s needed. Genuine Castoria has Chas. H.
