SANE HEALTH CHANCE
FOR ALL CHILDERN
Dr. Copeland Sees No Reason Why President
Hoover's Suggested "Child's Bill of Rights"

.What does it mean to be born under proper conditions? What
are these conditions? Healthy parents is the first essential. A home
founded on right livine, right thinkine. respect for society this is
unporiani.
To live in hygienic surroundings
this la not an unfair demand, no
matter what the wealth of the fam
ily, may be. A home can be clean,
the children clean this should be
the - rule anyhow. Sunshine and
fresh air are important.
In order not to suffer from under
nourishment the food may be plain,
but It must be nourishing. Today
o cMId need be without those es
sentials . of food which make for
sturdy growth and a strong body.
This should be the heritage of every
youngster.
To haye prompt and efficient med
ical ears snd medical inspection la
the next requirement. There was a
time when complete examinations
and treatment were only within the
reach of the fa-rored few. Today,
fortunately, this is not the case.
For those who have no means to
employ physicians the endowment of
great funds for child welfare.' the
child health clinics, under the super
vision of the health departments of
all the big cities and the local hos
pital clinics, insure proper care for
err man. woman and child.
There Is no reason why the bin of
rights should not be enforced for
very child. W are happy It is so.

But Marx's reflections were dis
turbed. The mirror swung to be
fore his eyes, and Major Preston
emerged into the room. The Major
started as he saw Marx. The de
tective smiled.
"Hello, Major," he said. "Your
expected visitor has gone."
"What what visitor?"
"The young lady."
"I don't know what you're talk
ing about."
"The young fady your niece
came here but I sent her away.
Does that mean anything to you?"
"My piece?" The Major seemed
bewildered. He flushed uncom
fortably. "What was my niece do
ing here?"
"What are you doing here?"
The Major paused.
"I don't have to answer that if
I don't want to."
"No," said the Inspector. "But
if I were you, I would. Now listen
how did you know about this
trick door? Why did you come up
heer? Now come on with it, be
cause if you don't, I can make
things pretty uncomfortable for
you. Now. how about it?"
The Major seemed to squirm.
Finally he sat down . and ran a
finger over the edge of his un
comfortable collar.
"All right." he said. "What do
you want to know?"
"Well, to bgin with what are
you doing here?"
The Major's finger once more I
traveled over his collar.
"Oh I just came up to investi
gate. I can do that, can't 1?"
"And you were such a good in-
vestigator that you immediately
discovered the trick door? I'll tell
you something you're a lot bet
ter investigator than I am."
"Thanks.", The Major seemed
scornful.
"Of course," amended .Marx,
"you had the. advantage over us.
You knew about the apartment
that adjoins h?re. You knew how
to get in here through it. But
what I've got to say to you is this
come clean!" Marx bit at his
cigar, as if to give emphasis to
this warning, and regarded the
Major with frowning eyes.
"Well, there really isnt much
I an tell " said the Major.
"All right," said Marx. "Mayb3
I t an heip you. There was this
Shah diamond"

involuntarily,

"That has not been born under proper condi
tions; "That does not live in hygienic surroundings:
"That ever suffers from undernourishment;
"That does not have prompt and efficient
medical attention and inspection ; '
"That does not receive primary instruction In
the elements of hygiene and good health;
"That has not the complete birthright of s
sound mind in a sound body;
"That has not the encouragement to express
tn fullest measure the spirit within which is the
final endowment of every human being."
Let us for a moment think about this "biQ
of rights." It asks nothing that should not be
the aim of all parents and expectant parents
for their children. It insures for the child
fortunate enough to be so endowed, an equal
or- more than equal chance to meet the prob
lems of life.
A. Premature grayness may be
due to serious illness, heredity or a
sudden shock. There is really noth
ing that can be done other than keep
ing the acalp and balr tn perfect con
dition all the time. A stimulating
ointment is recommended.
M. F. Q. What do you advise

gases?
S. What will clear up head noises
snd buzzing In the ears? .
A. A properly fitted abdominal
support together with careful diet
and general care should bring about
improvement. -
S. This may bs due to nasal catarrh,
to nervousness or to abnormal blood
pressure. Examination should locate
the exact causo and then propei

meantime keep the nose and throat

z. Ton may bs troubled with nasal
catarrh. For details send a self -ad
dressed, stamped envelope and repeat

I- This Is due to nerve stimula
tion. After ba thine- dm a solution of

said Marx. "We know a lot of
things. 'Now, listen. Major, I'm
not saying this again.. You come
through with the whole story, or
I'M be compelled to arrest you."
"For what?"
"Material witness. It doesn't
make any difference -for what. I
don't imagine you'd like going to
jail, now would you?
The Major seemed to consider
very thoughtfully.
"All right," he said finally. "I ll
come through. I'll tell you every
thing." He took a handkerchief
nervously from his breast pocket
and mopped his brow. "I might as
well. It's been preying on my
mind. Listen "
I first met Sewell twenty years
ago. Never mind how. I guesj
you'd call him a racetrack tout.
And I guess you could eall me
that, too. With this difference I
come of a pretty good family. Ho
doesn't. Low carat, and he was
low in every way. We became
partners, ran a book together.
This was in Lexington. Then we
came North.
Well, Sewell married. Married
a woman who knew bridge. She J
taught him everything. Not only
bridge, but manners, and how to
use the right fork. And Sewell
blossomed out. You know how
crazy everybody is about bridge.
It opened everything for him.
Then Sewell went to Europe. I
got a few notes from him." Noth
ing much. For some reason he
went to Russia. Sewell was always
an adventurer and he thought he
could put his hands on some rich
concessions. I heard about this
later.
But to come to the point when
Sewell came back from Russia he
telephoned for me to meet him
I did. I'd never seen him 'so ex
cited before. He says to me:
"Major, we've beed doing busi

And he shows me the diamond.
I still get excited when I think of
It.
"We've got to sell this," he
says. "I'd rather remain in the
background, if we're to do it weH.
Now what ideas have yon got?"
To tell the truth, I didn't have
an idea in the world. But I saw a
chance to make some money, and
I pretended to be thinking "heavi

"Let me consider this. I'll be

"Who is Ready's brother?" Yam

"That's very queer,." said Yam.
"This morning as my mistress was
getting ready for school. her
brother asked: "Aren't you ready

"Humph,- said Knarf, "then
your mistress is ready's brother.
She said"shi was."
"How canhe be? A girl can't
be anybody's brother!"
"That's so," said Knarf. "I
didn't think of tha'h"
The more the fehadow children
thought about ready's brother,
the more mysterious he became.
Where did he keep himself? Why
did they never see him?
"Perhaps the name is in the
telephone book." said Flor.
Mij. being the thinnest and t
smallest, crept into the thick
book. He emerged a few moments
later. "It's not there," he said.
"May-be it's in this book." said
Knarf, pointing to the cook-book
which was lying on the kitehen
table. Mij crawled in again.
"Is it?" the all a?ked him
when he came out again.
He shook his head. "I found ;
ready," he said, "but not ready's'
brother. On the very first page it
said 'Let boil till ready.' I look

wasn't there." .

How To Dress Up the Root
Vegetables
Most vegetables are all the bet
ter for cooking simply, so as to
preserve their own flavor.' Cer
tainly this is true of all the green
vegetables. But root vegetables
are an exception in the estima
tion of many finicky diners. Ad
mitting ail the wholesome quali
ties of carrots and beets ' and
turnips and parsnips, the individ
ual flavor of each of these root
vegetables Isn't universally pop
ular. However, there are all sorts of
good reasons why they, should ap
pear in the diet they are excel
lent "roughage" and furnish
starch and sugar in moderate
amounts.
.When buying root vegetables,
choose those that are smooth,
hard and of medium sixe. Beets
with fresh green leaves and, dirty
roofs are usually fresh if the
root' aro !.-au is may be due to
the fact that the vegetable is old
and wilted and has been ;ivi n a
bath to freshen it up a bit. And,
of course, never throw away the
green tops of heels or turnips.
Trey should be cleaned and cook
ed separately in a little water,
thn served as you would spinach.
'. ! plain boiled carrots don't ap
o ihe family, try it this
way:
Browned Carrots
Scraps r''.e carrot -5 under run
ning water, then cut into thin,
long strips. Cook In a little boil
ing water, over a moderate flame
for about 20 minutes, or a little
longer if they are not tender by
that time. Use very little water
there should be almost none left
in the saucepan when the carrots
are finished. Melt a tablespoonful
of butter in a saucepan, add one
tablespoon of brown sugar, a dash
of salt and pepper and reheat the
carrots in this. They taste almost
children. "There's ready's broth
er. We've seen him at last!" And
they were all very happy.
like sweet potstoes and should be
served very hot.
Why beets prepared in the fol
lowing way are generally known
as Harvard beets is a mystery.
However, It's one way of serving
this, vegetable ' that msny pebple
prefer;
Harvard Beet
Two hunches small beets, one
tablespoon butter, one tablespoca
cornstarch, two tablespoons vin-'
egar, two tablespoons.lemon juice,
four tablespoons sugar, one-quarter
teaspoon salt. "
Cook the beets without their
green fops in boiling water uniil
tender. Then peel and cut into lit
tle rubes. Melt the butter in a
saucepan. Mix together the corn
starch, vinegar, lemon juice aod
salt and add to the melted but
ter. Let it boil a few minute?,
then heat the beets in this ma
ture, stirring to cover them thor
oughly. Here is a simple luncheon di:-h
which can be prepared with eithtr
carrots or turnips:
Cook in a little boiling wattr
until tender. Then niusii, addin
salt and some thick sweet Cream.
Hat and pile on slices of crisp
m .-. ,. rnisl; v.-uh a few capers.
Parsnips may be cooked
tliis v?f, fcui are not quite d 1:
cate enough to be served on toast.
Parsnips, it must bo remembered,
must always b 3erved very hot.
In fact, this applies to all the root
vegetables but there is nothing
quite as hopeless as lukewarm
parsnips.
To make a tasty cream soup of
the root vegetables, cook them un
til tenderthen mash thoroughly.
Make a white sauce of one table
spoon of melted butter, two table
spoons of flour, two cups of milk
and two cups of some bouillon.
Cook until smooth, stirring con
stantly, then add the mashed veg
etables. Heat thoroughly, season
with salt and pepper and just 1; -fore
removing from the stove mi 1
a well-beaten egg, stirring con
! stantly.
