You cannot make a suc- cess as an artist or writer or in any other capacity for that matter unless you right-about-face in your habits. First, have your eyes examined by an oculist. Sleep nine hours or more each night if you are under 18 years of age. | Be asleep at 10 p.m. and get up at 7a.m. | Boric acid solution or the salt solution is a good eye wash, but I advise you not to use anything on your eyes until you have been examined.

As the entire weight of the body is on your feet when you are walking or | standing, you naturally think your feet |are weak or tired from this weight, and | you buy supports for them. As you know, the usual cause of tarthritis or rheumatism in the joints is infection from teeth, tonsils, gall | bladder or large intestine. Therefore, | the first thought should be a thorough examination by the family doctor and | dentist. As it may take a lttle time to re- move the infection entirely from the | system, there is no reason why arch | supports, strapping of the feet or other methods of relieving pain should not be used in the meantime. The mistake is to use these supports to re- lieve pain, without removing the cause | of the pain. A quick method of getting some of the poison out of the system and thus relieving the pain to some extent is by the use of Epsom or Rochelle salts. | Use of high enemas is another valuable | method.

D I began to have spats, then little fights, then big ones. For the last three years we have meant nothing to each other except we both realize that we have a separate and distinct duty to our children. We have our individual rooms and seldom meet except af supper. If I go out for the evening she stays in. If I stay with the children she goes out. ,She never asks me where I go, with whom or what 1 do. I never ask her. In short, we have nothing to do with each other and both are wasting the best part of our lives. Should we continue to live together “for the sake of our children” and let them see us loathing each other or should we part and let them see at least one of their parents in a contented frame of mind? BEWILDERED. ANSWER: Why is it that a man as intelligent as you are has been unable to find the root of your trouble? Have you tried looking for that and honestly seeking the reason why you and your wife cannot get along together in peace and harmony? EAR MISS DIX—I am a man of 32. My wife is 31. We have been married more than 10 years and have four beautiful children. After about three years of married life my wife and Apparently neither of you has committed any crime against the other. Nor are you in love with some other woman or man. It seems to be just a case of incompatibility of temper. Everything you say or do gets on each other's nerves. Every word is a fighting word. T has always scemed to me that any husband and wife can keep from quarreling if they want to. It is just a matter of self-control and determination. Of biting back a bitter retort. Of giving the soft answer that turns away wrath, Of using a little diplomacy and sidestepping the topics on which they know they disagree. Of paying a few judiclous compliments. I have never known a man or woman who could not be managed if approached in the right way. Especially are women easily controlled by those who will take the trouble to handle them with gloves. A little flattery, a few attentions, a little jollying are a sure recipe for working a wife. You can shut any virago's lips tight with a kiss. 7OU use finesse in dealing with those with whom you come in contact in business. Why not try the same tactics on your wife? You don't tell your boss or your customers or your clients just what you think of them. You don't deride their opinions, no matter how silly they are. You don’t call them down when they make mistakes nor throw up their previous blunders to them. And you don’t make disparaging remarks about their relatives. 5 But if you have tried out all of these things and none of them worked and if you and your wife are so fundamentally antagonistic that you can never agree on anything, I certainly think that at your age you will be wise to part. You have many years of life before you and it is not right that they should be embittered by an enforced companionship that brings out all that is worst in you and that will warp your very soul. F course, you have your duty to your children and when you half- orphan them you do them & wrong that can never be repaired. But you have to choase between two evils and you will do them a worse Wrong if you bring them up in an atmosphere of hate that will poison their voung lives. Tt is better for them to have one parent or no parent at all, than two parents who are at enmity with each other and who live in a perpetual state of strife. Children who grow up in homes such as yours have their nerves wrecked as much as any shell-shocked soldier did. They have their whole outlook on life distorted. So the husbands and wives who hate each other, but who continue to live together for the sake of the children, make their sacrifice in vain. They do their children harm instead of good and unless you have enough strength and self-control to keep the peace and make & home for your children that will be full of kindness and good will instead of hatred, you and your wife had better part. DOROTHY DIX. e e I)EAR DOROTHY DIX—What is bothering me and a lot of other busi- ness girls is that we see so many men cheating on their wives, and they are wives who are everything that a wife should be, good looking and cheerful and not naggers. Why is this? What makes men who are honest and honorable in other things turn out to be sneaks and liars to their wives? And how are girls, who see this every day and who have to telephone wives that their husbands are in conference or called out of town on business or are meeting country customers, when they are really stepping out with some doll, to keep from becoming too disillusioned to consider marrying any man? JUST A STENOGRAPHER. Answer: Why men who are married to beautiful and charming women can't be satisfied to stay within the fold, but must jump the bars nobody can explain. Perhaps it is just the nature of the beast. Perhaps, as Mr. Howells once said, after 2,000 years of Christianity men are still imper- fectly monogamous. BU Unless a man is born of the domestic type no one women can hold him, no matter if she is as beautiful as Venus, and a howsekeeper. Always he will see the flutter of a petticoat up the street and start chasing it. T there seems no remedy for it. Nor is there any way in which the business girl can retain her illusions about men when she works with them every day. She is like Eve after she ate the apple, knowing good and evil and all the tricks and manners DO of men. ROTHY DIX. (Copyright, 1932.) GOOD TASTE TODAY. BY EMILY POST. Famous Authority on Etiquette.

The Laplander and the Finlan@er depend upon this animal far more than we ever did upon the ox or the horse, or the Arab upon his camel or his goat. Not only does the animal provide flesh and milk but clothing and transportation. It must have been the sight of a loaded sled, piled high with household goods, which gave the artist his idea of Santa and | his reindeer. ‘The unusual about the reindeer is that both sexes have antlers. The | branched horns are uneven, and one | hangs over the face. They are not so | haughty in their bearing as the stags. | 1t is a clever hunter who can outwit a | wild reindeer. They have a keen sene | of hearing. Their large, beautiful eyes can detect you from a long distance, “REINDEER and even though you travel against the wind they are aware of your presence. Nature has provided them with large, broad, padded feet for traveling over the great snow deserts. They are swift runners, with a jerky movement that has a little clicky sound. Under the snow the lichens, seaweed and grasses | are tender and sweet, and the reindeer, knowing this, will use his horns and | feet to dig deep for this food. | Young fawns are easily tamed and become fond of their owners, but you are tempting fate to try to break an old on- into harness. Once they have a chance to return to freedom they soon forget the past. In the Summer the coat is dark and the hair close, but in the Winter it is much longer and almost 2 inches thick. As they move in great herds, their ant- lers appear to be moving leafless trees, so_inconspicuous is their Winter coats. The mother brings forth her fawn in and such a beautiful, with the most lovable ways and willing to be played with and fearless! The mother watches tenderly over it until she is satisfied she is no longer needed. Man is the most feared enemy the reindeer has. The wolf is another en- emy, followed by the lynx and bear. Insects torment one during the Sum- mer, but the animal soon is looking strong and happy after he has reached the high slopes. Swimming is another way they have of getting away from their enemies, and when followed by boats they will stam- pede. The males are vicious biters and the females expert kickers. ‘To the Laplander wealth means a herd of reindeer, and one who owns a hundred of them is considered rich. Not one ounce of the reindeer is wasted. The antlers and bones are made into hooks and fish spears. The shin bones are split and used to scrape the flesh and fat from the hide. The leather is rubbed with the animal’s brains and tanned over the smoke of decayed wood. It is then hung over a pole. The hides of the fawns are used for clothing, and the tendons from the back of the deer are split into fine threads for sewing the skins together. Nets and bow strings are made from the raw hides. In 1887 the natives of Northwestern Alaska were in dire need. It was de- cided that the United States Govern- ment should introduce reindeer into this territory. Young natives were given a reindeer and food for it and made to serve four years learning how to care for_these animals. In 1892 172 ani- mals were imported. and by 1913 there ‘were 62 herds and 47,266 animals. Five thousand were killed that year for food | and skins. Alaska has 400,000 square miles, on which 10,000,000 may be fed. (Copyright. 1832.) Your Baby and Mine BY HYK‘I:'ME\'!I ELDRED. Overfed Baby. T is very easy to judge when a young mother is reading some of \ the older literature on baby care and feeding. Three-hour intervals and the term, “modified milk,” are strongly reminiscent of an era that has passed. The modern infant has a “formula” and is fed once every four hours by the clock. Mrs. R. seems to have embraced some of these outmoded ideas. Her letter follows: “I am a very young mother and am having considerable trouble with my baby’s diet. He is 612 months old, was a premature of 7 months and welghs 5 pounds. “I feed him modified milk, which he doesn’t seem to care for. I feed him every three hours by the clock and sometimes he will take two ounces and then push the bottle away and some- times he will take it all. When he does he keeps it all down, showing that it does not disagree with him. “I give him oatmeal, which he loves, and carrots and some other vegetables, all_of which he keeps down. He also takes prune and orange juice. He isn't getting enough to satisfy him. I have given him a cracker softened in his milk and he loves it. The fact is he loves to eat and I am afraid he will wean himself of the bottle. He weaned himself of night feeding be- fore he was 2 months old. He goes to bed at 8 and sleeps until 7 the next morning. He sits up beautifully, but has no sign of a tooth. I shall be grateful for help through your column.” I am sorry you dido't ., tell me of what your milk formula consists. The whole picture here is one of overfeed- ing and the baby’s actions confirm that diagnosis. A premature of 7 months would not be exvected to weigh more than five pounds, at most, and the present weight would be excessive for a 4%a- month-old child. You must subtract his prematurity from his present age to arrive at the child’s correct age. His resent weight would indicate over- eeding. I would change to the four-hour schedule, beginning the day at 7 a.m. and feeding at 7, 11, 3 and 7. With only four (ecd!n% the formula may be 25 ounces of bolled milk, 3 ounces of boiled water and 4}, tablespoonfuls of sugar. Give the bottle at 7 am., cereal and bottle at 11 a.m., vegetable and bottle at 3 p.m. and cereal and bottle at 7 p.m. Orange juice may be offered at 10 am. He may enjoy milk by cup and ac- cept it more readily from that utensil. But the chances are very good that it he is given food at longer intervals he will be eager for every meal instead of indifferent to some of them. Nut Biscuits.

Thanksgiving Decorations BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. {2 T LA ECORATING the house for Thanksgiving has grown in favor, Once it was enough to have the table the sole object of such decoration, but now the gay trimmings are featured else- where. Some interesting decorations are given today. Especial attention has been paid to having little expenditure made on them. ‘The Thanksgiving atmosphere can be apparent the moment the front doorway is espied. A wreath of vegetables and fruit fastened to the door does this. To a ring formed of twisted wire, heavy enough to hold the various things, fas- ten bright red apples, red and green peppers, ~carrots, oranges, lemons, bunches of grapes, bananas, ears of yellow corn, etc. Do not for- get the picturesque carrot tops, gay Autumn leaves, crisp parsley and other greenery to supply background for the fruits and vegetables and to fill in spaces between them in the wreaths. Some of these wreaths are handsome decorations, indeed. Since the things are inexpensive, and the work is done at home, the cost is insignificant. Re- | member "also that some of the edibles can be used in cooking when the wreath has done its decorative duty. A pumpkin each side the dorway can fulfill the ornamental needs, either alone or against a stack of corn stalks. One pumpkin each side of an open fireplace in the living room is cheery.

They knew, too, that the time for work, d work from day- light to dark, had also arrived, and they were glad. There isn’t a lazy bone in any of these Squirrel folk when there is work to be done. Even in years of plenty they work hard and steadily until their storehouses are fiiled, often stor- ing away more than they will use. “It is better to have too much than not enough,” says wise little Striped Chipmunk, and he is quite right. This year the work would be harder than usual, for many of the nut trees bore no nuts, and on the others there were but few. This meant that each would have to work hard and fast to get his share, and at best that share was likely to be a small one. They “IT IS BETTER TO HAVE MUCH THAN NOT ENOUGH,” SAYS WISE LITTLE STRIPED CHIP- MUNK. knew this. That is, Striped Chipmunk and Rusty and Happy Jack did, and they were worried, although Striped Chipmunk didn’t need to be, for al- ready he had several little storerooms packed with seeds.

But he was in just as much of a hurry as the others, for they wanted to make sure of those nuts before any one else should chance to find them. So the instant the Squirrel folk poked their noses outside eary that morning and had them pmmgtly pinched by Jack Frost, they scrambled out and started for the nut trees as fast as their legs could take them, for they knew that now the burrs must be open, and each wanted to get there first. Even Chatterer started for the nearby familiar trees, for he meant to have his share of the nuts there as well as those others he had found. He was just that selfish. They all reached the trees at about the same time and they saw at once that Jack Frost had been busy, for the few burrs were open. Striped Chipmunk at ance began to hunt among the leaves for the nuts that had fallen, for he does not like to climb, but the otherg were up in the trees in a jiffy for the nuts that had not yet drop) 1 the open burrs. Striped Chipmu having pockets in his cheeks, would wait until he couldn't cram another nut into them. Then, yith one in his teeth, he would scamper home as fast as his little legs could take him, empty" his pockets and scurry back again. ‘The others, having no handy pocl hid theirs in secret places near at han to be taken home to their storehouses later. How they did work! There was more or less quarreling when two would start after the same nuts. Chatterer had a little the best of it, for he is so small and light and nimble that he could get out on the tips of branches more easily than his big cousins. As jolly, round, bright Mr. Sun began to climb up in the blue, blue sky, the Merry Little Breezes of Old Mother West Wind came dancing along and began shaking the nuts out of the burrs, so tbat they rattled down and rolled n'%l under the leaves or.the ground. en such a strambling as there was to find them! Such a pull- ing over of leaves! Such quarreling! So all day long they worked and worked and when the Black Shadows came creeping out from the Purple Hills the Squirrel folk dragged them- selves home, tired, and all but one dis- couraged, for with all their work they | had each got but a handful of nuts. Chatterer alone was not worrled. (Copyright, 1932 Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Learning. I am continually receiving letters from parents who are anxious about the progress of their children in school. One recurrent question concerns learning. It is generally supg:ed, 1 believe, that children learn t when they learn a part of the lesson at a time. “Little by little” seems to be the method adopted by most parents in helping their children “get their lessons.” Many experiments in learning have been carried out. Suppose you want to learn & poem of five stanzas. You will learn it more rapidly and will remember it longer if you learn the poem 8s & whole rather than a stanza a tims. The proper method, then, would be to read the poem through several times and try to recite it from beginning to end. Keep this up until the desired perfection is attsined. ‘This method, while the best on gen- eral principles, has its limitations. The human mind, varying with age and ex- periences, has & certain 'fi of atten- tion beyond which the “ le” method is ective. (Copyright. 1933.) Veal Cutlet.
