Love’s Awakening The ll:rt Btery [ Steadfast Womas By Adele Garrison Decides to Have Edith Out as & Week-End Guest “Yes, wo can manage the car,” I sald In answer to Harry Under- wood's query. But he must have been able to read between the words, for he suddenly gave me a bluff assurance. “Oh! I'll drive you through city, and over to the Jersey side,” he sald. “And we'll agree now on some village outside Newark where 1 can meet you and pilot you back again.” Madge the “I'm not going to protest or say | ['m sorry to inconvenience you,” 1 told him. “I'm just going to say thank you and accept your offer im mediately.

Peter Rabbit was in high spirits when he reached the Green Forest. A full stomach will put almost any one in high spirits. Peter was most anxious to find his big cousin, Jump- er the Hare, and tell him about the good things he found in Farmer Brown's barn and how that barn could be entered through a little swinging door.

YOUR HEALTH BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hy- geia, the Health Magazine Backache is one of the most com- mon complaints suffered by man- kind today. | Investigations made by special- ists in various fields of medicine indicate that backache may result from many causes involving the body as a whole, the bones of te spine, the bones of the pelvis, or lhe nervous system generally. Some cases of backache are due to poor posture, the pecople suf- | fering having knock-knees, hollow | backs. round shoulders, promi- nent abdomens, and long. narrow |chests. Such people are constant- {1y out of balance and maintain an | upright position only by continu- ous muscular effort. Chronic Cases Dr. Frank D. Dickson sizes the fact that the muscles and |ligaments associated with the bones of the spine are kept con- ! stantly under strain because ©1 |the bad posture, and as a result xthe person develops a chronic | barkache. i In esome cases, inflammation takes place in the joints which | make up the spine as a result of infection carried to the joints by the blood from places of infection elsewhere in the body. Naturally if there is inflammation, there is irritation and pain. There are, of course, many seri- ous conditions which may affect |the spinal cord There are actual tractures of the hones of the spine which may result in serious pains {in the back. | In the majority {however. the X.ray to reveal definitely from the normal in self. Rometimes chrone hackache oc. curs as a result of interference of instances. may be used any changes the spine it- cmpha- ! with drainage of fluld from the kidneys, or because of other dis- turbances of these organs. Sometimes backache follows {n. flammation of glands not infre- quently due in women to the pains in organs assoclated with childbirth. Careful Examination It is obvious that the exact cause then can be determined only by a most careful and syste. matic examination of all of the volved. In a considerable number of cases people develop backaches simply as a result of unwilling- ness to work or to have children; in other words, as a means of avolding something unpleasant in life. Here the condition is not an organic disease but a mental dls- turbance, and attention must be given to changing the habits of life rather than to the application of surgical operation of drugs.

Guiding Your R Child FOOD DISLIKES By Mrs. Agnes Lyne We all know people who are fin- fcky about their food. They don't like salad dressing, they can't bear sca food, their eggs must be just #0, they won't touch spinach, and prunes are out of the question. Any housekeeper can testify what a nuisance these people are either 2s guests or as members of the family group. One woman of my acquaintanee has to cook virtually three differ- ent dinners to suit the likes ane, dlslikes of her hushand and two sons. The elder boy can't endure green vegetables and consents to partake of potatoes only if they are plain boiled. The younger turns up his nose at soup and meat but re- quires large quantities of cake. The father insists on soup, and plenty of fried potatoes. The mother's job as housekeeper is no fun, and that of the women who will one day marry her sons will be no joke either. Children should eat what is set before them, but they will never learn to do this unless they are properly taught. When the child refuses to eat he should not be urged. The plate should be left before him lonw enough for him to empty it. If he has made no attempt to eat or has dawdled over his food, the plate should be removed without com- ment. A much desired dessert should not be given unless the main body of the meal has been eaten. When a new food is introduces into the child's diet only a very small quantity should at first be given so that it it is unpleasant to him he will nether have to go throgh a prolonged ordeal nor have occasion to work up an in- tense dislike. If the amount l# is expected to eat is Increased slowly he is more likely to develop taste for the new flavor. It he absolutely refuses the new food he should be given nothing clse until he has eaten a small por- tion of it. It may be necessary to carry out this harsh measure through a few meal hours, untll hunger forces him to take it.
