Reddy knew It before he ssid a word. She saw it tp his eyes. She guessed that he had decided to stay, but wisely she didn't say so. She had noticed that as he approached he had limped a little. Wisely she said nothing about that, either.

Reddy flung himself down on the snow beside her. "I've made up my mind," said he. "I thought you had," replied Mrs. Reddy softly. Reddy looked surprised.

"Well." aid he. "what have you decided?" "Then you'll stay." said he "To do whatever you do." replied Mrs. Reddy. There Is no more perfectly mated couple in all the Green Forest than these two. Reddy grinned.

It was a tired, disappointed sort of grin. "Then you'll stay." said he. -All right, well stay." replied Mrs. Reddy, and grinned in her turn. "Tell me why." she added.

"I thought I knew something about traps and where to look for them, but this was set differently from any I had seen before.

Finding out about It cost me a toe. Ouch! That place Is sore." "You poor dear. You were Just unlucky." said Mrs. Reddy softly, and continued to gently lick the sore place. Reddy shook his head In a most decided manner.

"Wrong, my dear." said he. "I was lucky, not unlucky." "Do you mean you were luckv to lose a toe? The Ideal" cried Mrs. Reddy. "Instead of a foot or even my life." replied Reddy. "Yes.

my dear, I was lucky. I saw a trap with a foot in it." "You mean?" said Mrs. Reddy questlonlngly. "I mean that some one Is going around on three legs If he or ahe Is stiU alive. That might have happened to me.

Lambert, pastor of Lansing Gospel temple, at his home, 217 Leslie avenue. Husband's Love Is First Dear Dorothy Dix I am desperately afraid of losing my husband. When my mother died I was haD- pily married and living in another city where my husband was established in business. Father took her death so hard I broke up housekeeping and came home to help him get over it. It has been years since then and he refuses to let me go back to my husband, -who can only come to see me on week-ends.

It Is a very long trip and he is tired of taking it. One week-end recently he didnt come to see me and I know he has been going with another woman, which makes me worry. My father could get married, as he has a couple of nice women friends, or he could hire some one to keep house for him. What should I do? UNEASY. ANSWER You've certainly got to decide which one you care the mast for.

your husband or your father. You can't live with your father in order to make him comfortable and leave your husband to shift for himself and expect him to like it. The wonder is that he has stood for your desertion as long as he has. Many a woman loses her husband through her devotion to her family. She spends her time ministering to her father or her mother, or she puts their pleasure and comfort before her husband's.

She makes him feel that she belongs to them instead of him. and it makes him. first, jealous, then hurt by her indifference, and then he goes out and seeks consolation from some other woman who devotes herself to keeping him entertained and amused instead of rubbing" her mother's rheumatism Your father must be a singularly selfish man if he is willing to break up your marriage for the sake of keeping you with him And don't forget that when he takes a notion to marry he won't refrain from doing so because of the sacrifice you have made for him So you may find yourself without a husband or a job as Papa's housekeeper.

Syncllcssey Nicotinic Acid Numerous inquiries recently received indicate that there is a popular notion that nicotinic acid is a modification of or has aome relation to nicotine. Nicotinic acid has no connection with and no resemblance to nicotine. That the name "nicotinic acid" suggests nicotine to the uninitiated is not surprising; in the index of 22nd edition (1937) of United States Dispensatory both nicotine and nicotinic acid are mentioned as on p. 1621, but p. 1621 deals with nicotine and doea not eevn mention nicotinic acid, an understandable confusion in the mind of the Girl Friday who compiled the index.

Nicotinic acid is one of the entities or components of the natural vitamin complex. Chemically it is beta-pyradine-barbox-ylis acid. It would be equally misleading to infer that nicotinic acid acts as an acid in the stomach or in the blood or tissues. Everybody needs a certain amount of nicotinio acid every dav to maintain good functional health. When the daily intake of nicotinic acid is insufficient, there is danger of developing pellagra.

Just how much nicotinic acid a child or adult must have daily to prevent manifestation of pellagra or to maintain vigorous health has not as yet been determined, but the average daily requirement is estimated to be not less than 10 milligrams. An average medicinal dose, for the insufficient nicotinic acid intake, is 50 to 100 milligrams daily. Sometimes 300 to 500 milligrams may be given at a single dose. (A milligram is approximately one-sixtieth of a grain). Besides outspoken pellagra from prolonged deprivation of or extreme deficiency in the intake of nicotinic acid, some other tions due to nicotinic acid deficiency and preventable and curable by increased intake of nicotinic acid are blacktongue in dogs.

Y. Write plainly PATTERN NUMBER, your NAME and ADDRESS. By DOROTHY DEC Dear Miss Dix We have a son who is 16 years of age. is 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighs 165 pounds. He is a nice boy, good, clean, no bad habits and plenty of good, hard common sense for a 1 boy of his age.

But apparently he has an abhorrence for school. We have tried every way in the world to make him see the importance of getting an education, but without avail We have changed schools hoping that he might contact aome teacher who would rouse his interetst In study, but It was alwavs the same thing. He showed no desire and made no attempt to learn. Simply wasted time. Even a vocational school made no appeal to him.

Last summer to keep him off the streets we secured a job for him in one of the chain stores, and, lo! and behold, he seemed to be In his element working. He was happy and contented and interested. When his vacation was over he begged to continue on with his job with the understanding that lie would go to night school, but even this has failed, for he has dropped the night school. He has a good home, care and love for all, but no matter what any one says about school it Is too bad. The only thing that appeals to him Is work.

Is there anything I can do about this school issue? ANXIOUS FATHER. ANSWER Nothing, except to have wisdom enough to accept the situation and let the boy follow the line that nature made out for him. Quit nagging him about going to school. Don't implant an inferiority complex in his mind by letting him see that you consider him some sort of a moron because he doesn't want to go to school. Instead of that, encourage him to do the thing that be tikes to do and wants to do and that Ood bite ned him to do or else He would not have given him the kind of brain that He did.
