As soon as Elizabeth Wade had
uttered her thoughtless remark, she
knew she had made a mistake. •
Perhaps she felt the form at her
side start slightly. Perhaps iiis si
lence warned her that something was
amiss. *
What had she said? Oh, yes, that
she had no sister!
An awfut thought struck her.
Did the real Lizzie Moore have a
Ulster, and, if so, did Clifford Chapin
know it?
Then she recalled with a throb of
relief that he had spoken several
times of knowing nothing of his
Pennsylvania relatives. Yet he had
also said that he remembered see
ing little Lizzie Moore when she was
"a small girl with pig-tails."
Elizabeth tried to quiet the beat- j
Jng of her heart by the reflection
that no harm could have been done.
She must have imagined that her |
retort had not made any unusual !
impression upon Clifford Chapin. Ifj
It had he would have replied to it. I
To test him she asked idly: "Did j
you ever wish you had a sister?" I
"No," he replied, promptly, and his '
manner was so natural that she felt j
Immediately reassured, "I never i
wished for either a brother or a j
sister. I like the parental spotlight j
to be turned full upon me all the |
time. Don't I, mother?"
Mrs. Chapin leaned forward as he '
repeated his question. As usual she j
smiled at what she considered her!
eon's witticism.
"Now, Clifford, dear." she said, "you I
always talk as if you was selfish. I
But you're not—not a mite." '
Then she began to regale Eliza-1
beth with a description of some of |
her boy's unselfish acts, and the girl, j
pretending to listen. smiled sym- j
pathetically.
The subject of these eulogiums had j

, You cannot overestimate the im

Any slight disorder or impurity
that creeps into the blood is a
source of danger, for every vital

The Letter Drop?*
At the door of the farmhouse
Elizabeth Wade sprang from the
car before Clifford had a chance to
help her. As he began taking out
the parcels by which Mrs. Chapin was
surrounded, Elizabeth came to his as
sistance.
"Here, give me some of those and
help your mother," she ordered.
He did her bidding, and as she
mounted the steps with an armful of
groceries she dropped one of the
parcels. •
Stopping quickly, she picked it up.
As she did so. the letter she had
tucked into her belt slipped to the
ground.
She did rot see it, but went on into
the kitchen with her burden. Return
ing a minute later she found Clifford
standing at the foot of the steps, her
letter in his hand. His mother had
gone into the house by the side door.
"You dropped this," he remarked,
still holding the epistle. "I picked
it up."
"Oh. thank you!" She held out
her hand for her property, and he
gave it to her, looking her full in the
face as he did so.
The address was uppermost, and
she noted with a shock that the num
ber of Douglas Wade's P. O. bos and
"Riverhill. Wyo„ were stamped on
the corner of the envelope.
"Thank you!'' she repeated con
fusedly. "I did not know I had
dropped it."
She was glad that Douglas's name
was not on the envelope. Perhaps
Clifford did not know where the
owner of the farm was living now.
Yet, as she went up to her room
she was acutely uncomfortable.
Could she have heard the conversa
tion that took place a few minutes
; most serious are Rheumatism, with
its torturing pains; Catarrh, often a
forerunner of dread consumptions
Scrofula, Eczema, Tetter, Erysipelas
and other disfiguring skin diseases;
Malaria, which makes the strongest

eases are the direct result of impure

You can easily avoid all of these
diseases, and rid the system of them,

later between Mrs. Amos Chapln and
her son she would have been
Mrs. Chapln was in her room lay
ing oft her hat when Clifford en
tered unceremoniously.
• "Mother," he said without prelim
inary, "how many children has your
cousin, John Moore?"
The Secret Out
Martha Chapin was not in the habit
of practising finesse or diplomacy, and
for the moment was off her guard.
"Three," she replied promptly.
"Two of them are boys, aren't
they%" Clifford asked with assumed
carelessness.
"Why, no—Cousin John never had
a boy— except one that died when it
was an infant. He's got only girls;
and I guess they have a hard time
to get along."
Then she stopped, her face red
dening. She remembered the role
that Elizabeth Wade was playing,
"X mean," she added hastily, "that
when there's only girls, it's hard to
support them. Girls can't work the
way men can."
Her son smiled sarcastically. "Yes,
in spite of all that, one of the daugh
ters has a good education and dresses
in cloths of a different cut and style
from those worn by most poor work
ing girls," he mocked.
"Clifford!" The matron's face was
pale now. "Don't talk in that tone,
dear. I wish I could explain about
It all, but I can't."
"I don't need an explanation, per
haps," he said slowly. "But I do
wonder what kind of a girl you think
this so-called Lizzie Moore is in her
own home town."
"She's a dear, sweet girl, his
mother declared. "And I'm sorry for
her. She is doing just what she's
been told to do—though I don't un
derstand about It. It there's any
fault it's not hers."
Clifford Chapin was watching his
mother curiously.
"You." he pronounced each word
deliberately and sternly, "are the
most gullible, least suspicious person
I ever saw. And father's as bad.
However," with a shrug of his should
ers, "of course it's none of my busi
ness."

0 MAKING THE MOST OF - ~
OUR CHILDREN

A Series of Plain Talks to
By R ay c Beery, A.8., M.A.
President of the Parents Association.
THE old adage "Spare the Rod
and Spoil the Child" was easy
to follow. It made child train
ing easy to many parents a genera
tion ago. ■
To-day there is no such simple rule
for bringing up children. Many par
ents are bewildered by the conflict
between several varying theories of
education that are "in the air." I
sometimes hear parents say that they
have employed every method under
the sun and in spite ■*£ Jhis their
children behave in a most undesir
able fashion.
Not all methods are good, and cer
tainly a combination of all methods,
a sort of pot-pourri of educational
methods, is anything but good. |
Imagine, for instance, a mother's ;
saying that in her attempt to cure j
her boy of lying she had tried scold- j
ing the boy, reasoning with him, de- i
nying him privileges, being kind to j
him. threatening him' and even I
whipping him —all to no avail. And
yet, many cases of this sort come to
my attention.
"I have a boy of ten," writes one
mother, "who cannot speak the
truth. He will take things and with
the most innocent look tell you he
knows nothing about it. He was in
the 'Home' for a year and in spite of
all the methods which the govern
ess used, he came out much worse
than when he went in. Please tell
me how to reform this child."
Corporal punishment is used rath
er freely in most of these "Homes."
The boys, who are not always super
vised in the way that they should
be, get into mischief and in order
to avoid the uSual consequences, they
very naturally falsify. And whip
ping a boy for falsifying generally
makes him wprse.
To overcome this habit, it is nec
essary to map out a positive course
Sugar Honor
Sugar and the have combined
forces to put the non-combatant Am
ericans to a big test. They are go)ng
to reveal those who are without hon
or. The family which buys sugar for
canning and then uses it to frost
cakel are not "putting one over on
the government:"
This Is America's war, and Ameri
ca's wars are not won alone by the
soldiers In the field. They are won
by every American standing firmly
and honorably behind the men at the
front. Any mother would hide her
face with shame If her soldier son
were caught in a dishonorable act.
She knows that the country is trust
ing him as she trusts him. The coun
try is now trusting her and her fam
ily to use Just as small an aVnount
of sugar possible; to use every
grain which she aays she wants for
canning, for that purpose; not to run
from store to .store getting more
sugar than is due her. What would
a soldier in France think if he knew
his family back home was betraying
their country's trust?
The grocer does not think you are
dishonest when he asks you to sign
a certificate saying that you will use
your sugar for canning purposes, any
more than the public thinks a gov
| ernment official disloyal when it asks
him Xo sign and oath of office. Do
not have an aversion to signing your
noire in a good cause, and when you
do so, stand by it.
Sugar must be saved, and each one
1 of us is in honor bound to save it to
the utmost.
Advice to the Lovelorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
NO GREAT DIFFERENCE IN AGE
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am married to a man 44 yearß old
and am 24, and he is a Very good man:
but every time I happen to meet any
of my friends they all tell me that I
have made a very bad mistake by
marrying a man so much older.
Now, Fairfax, would you
please tell me if I have made a mis
take, as it is always on my mind.
J. I*
The people you refer to as making
comments on the difference between
your and your husband s ages are not
friends, but meddlesome busybodies
who are, doubtless, jealous that you
are both so happy.
Do not allow any further remarks
on the subject.
The difference you mention ia not
too great. Some of the happiest mar
riages in the world are where there
ia eves a greater difference.
of action which involves some re- !
sponsibility on the boy's part. Let !
the ten-year-old boy in question de
liver some daily paper in his home
his WIU put a daU >' respon
sibility upon his shoulders. His cus
tomers will expect the papers and
he will be obliged to deliver them on
time. He will learn to know the
value of a dollar by earning it. He
will have to do his collecting in a
business-like fashion. This, espe
cially, will be just what he needs.
Do not ask a boy of this sort to
make any promise unless under ex
ceedingly favorable conditions. When
he does promise a thing, see that he
carries it out.
Make it a point, whenever circum
stances permit, to shaw a proper ex
ample in regard to your own hon
esty. If you happen to owe some
orte ever so small an amount, for
the sake of the boy's training, if for
no other reason, go out of your way
if necessary to square it up. Al
ways act quickly in regard to every
obligation.
When eight years old, my father
sent me to a hardware shop a half
mile from home to buy something
which cost five cents more than I
had in my pocket. The clerk said
that it would be all right, simply
take along the purchased article and
pay for it later. When. I reached
home and told father that we still
owed a nickel, he sent me back with
the money at once before he would
allow me to have my dinner. It
seemed a little foolish at the time,
but running back that half mile
with a nickel had the effect of mak
ing an indelible impression on my
;nlnd, and to this day, I have been
influenced by father's strict policy
and example.

Corn on the Cob
"Corn on the cob," is a welcome
phrase to most of us. Yet there are
other delightful ways of preparing
it. "Eat corn this summer," says the
United States Food Administration.
Boiled Green Corn—Remove husks
and silky threads. Cook ten to
twenty minutes in boiling water.
Place on plktter covered with nap
kin; draw corners of napkin over
corn; or cut from cob and season with
butter and salt.
Corn Oysters—Orate raw corn from
cob. To one cup pulp add one well
beaten egg, one-fourth cup corn flour,
and season highly with salt and pep
