should sleep half the time—twelve
' out of twenty-four Imre, Part of
this time may be included in the day-
' time nap.
2. His food should be plontifnl and
nutritious, Each child should have
at least three pints of milk a day.
Part of this may be in some .thele
food, such as euetard or ice create.
IIe should also have limited leu nt.ies
of meat and plenty of wee, cereals,
vegetables and fruite.
3, He should have plenty of opt -of -
door play—not too much work, nor
too long continued.
4. He should have a daily bath or
rub -down and a clean.in g bath with
warm water and mild soap at }east
once a week , oftener if possible.
5. His bowels shnu ld move freely

hit diet and oxei'ices should he so re-
gulated as to bring about that result.
6. He should be interested in life.
Sullen, dull, o • unhappy children are
frequently suffering from the want
of interest in life. Snell a child
should be watched to discover if pos-
sible what he does enjoy and where
his natural interest lies; and it is
then an easy task to stimulate his in-,
terest until his whole attitude' is
changed.
7. He should be taught simple lee -
;ens of personal hygiene; the use of
individual towels, handkerchiefs, toilet
articles; good care of- teeth, nose,.
eyes, hands and feet.
8. He should be taught to believe
that to be healthy is one of the finest
possible achievements in the world,
and most patriotic.

Vegetables and • fruits should be

food can be saved in this way.
Food should be carefully cooked,

as perhaps a German naval officer
may desire. First in the category:
conies the man who placed upon sub-
marine warfare it, crown_of supreme
achievement by the torpedoing of the
Lusitania. Ile was Rnnitan-Leutnant
Sehwie 'or, commending U-20, and
later U-88. Iie had entered the navy
in 1808, and reached, therefore. the]
summit of his career, the greatest;
murder the world has known, before
he was thirty-five; it was only in .
November hast that a mine in the ,
North Sea put an end to his memories ,
and to his purposes.
Deliberate Policy.
It now appears that his supreme'
deed was not of his own initiating; he 1
was selected by his superiors as a I
suitable officer to carry out a plan:
devised and prepared as a part of the
deliberate policy of the German Ad- I
miralty—that is to say, of the German I
Government. Accurding to the evi- 1
dence which is available, his success:
appalled him rather than otherwise;
the world's outcry of horror was •
audible even in Berlin, and upon his;
return there he showed himself little
—possibly by order of his superiors.I
Even his reward was stealthily con- I
ferred; it took the form of the Order
of the House of Hohenzollern, the'
Kaiser's personal decoration. U-20'
finished obscurely; she stranded .in a'
fog on the Danish coast in November,,
1910, and was blown up by her own
crew, A year Inter Schwieger, now •

company with another U -horst. The
crew of the second suhmsrine. sudden-'
17 heard an e.:nlooictn and' felt the jar
of it in their own vesss-1. They tried
vets their speedal siri+aIlina' devisee'
to et into communication with U-88,
but failed, and she never returned to
her been.
The officer who sank the Belgian'
Prince on July- 31, 1917, collected her I
crew on the decd: of hes snhmerine and

his successes had been reemenized by

with Swords; but a swift retribution
was at- hand. ,While returning from
the very eruiee during which he sank
the Belg''an Prince he encountered a
ship which could fight beck. A British;
destroyer saw him on the surface,
headed for him at top speed, and
meanwhile onencd free with every gun

obviously bit at once, for she failed
to submerge in time, and the destroyer
Isucceeded in ramming.
Unenviable Reputation.

That silent army of unconquered • 1917, Schneider' was washed overboard
from the device cif his craft and
drowned, and upon her next cruise
the submarine met a British patrol
boat in the Irish Sea. it was Christ-
n.las Day; she saw her enemy in time
and submerged to escape. The patrol
boat dropped depth charges where the
U-boat had vanished; their terrific ex-
` plosions tore her delicate mechanism
to pieces and forced her -to the sur-
' face, The patrol boat rammed her
• amidships and cut her in half. She
' sank, gushing oil and air; no survivors
came to the surface,
But Four of Many.
The officer who torpedoed the Sus-
sex in March of191('1 was Oberleut-
nant-zur-See Herbert Pustkuchen,
commanding UB -20. Ile was younger
than the others mentioned above,lrav-
ing entered the navy only in 1008,
but he had had time in hie brief
service to earn for himself the Iron
Cross of the First Class and the Order
of the House of Hohenzollern of the
. Third Class. He afterward was given
veivrnond of the UB -(iii and was lost to
his country in June of last year, when
a trawler sighted the jumping wires
of a partiy submerged submarine
which was proceeding at roar to five
knots. 'Phe trawler immediately heart-

Communing With the Dead. •
That is a pretty picture of simple
faith that lldrs. Nina L. Duryea gives
in her article on The Soul of Fighting
France. Among the sand dunes of
Brittany, she says, superstition finds
fertile sail. Bretons are less French
than any other class in France, having
retained their own language, customs
and beliefs. They have little fear of
death, and they are deeply religious.
A. cemetery is a place where children
play, and on fete days it is the meet-
ing place for gossips and swains.
Relatives go always once a week with
flowers to deck the graves and tidy
the wee shrines above them as they
do their own homes.
A Breton apparently le not entirely
convinced that the dead has really de.
parted to another world; he hshaves
as if the lost one were still near, hear-
ing, seeing, and interested in his
former associates. A discreet watcher
will hear a widow say in a pleasant,
conversational tone, while she tends
th.. grave;
"Was the rads cold on thee last
night? I thought of thee when I lay

pee have clearly '.e cn that there is ilo 1
rational evident,. foe the thing be-
lieved, the superstition lin,.ers.
The thirteen-al'tubin superstition,,
which has spread to thirteen of any- ,
thing, is an example. The origin of
the prejudice against this number is 1
usually supposed to be the t fact that
thirteen persons sat down et the Last
Supper, after which necurr'ed the Most
tragic event of the Christian cra. Bat
the superstition is older than Christ
ianity. Heeled says it is unlucky to'
sow corn on the thirteenth of the first I
month; and an old Norse legend says ,
that the twelve great divinities were]
dining at Valhalla wisest Loki. the god
of discord, appeared, and a nuarrel
with Balder occurred in which Balder,
the god of peace, was killed.
The Friday superstition arose lie -
cause the crucifixion is supposed to
have taken place on that day. Some
persons think that it is unlucky to
spill salt because Judas Iscariot seems '1
'to be spilling it in Da Vinci's pocture
of the Last Supper. Others think that i
it is because salt is a symbol of in- '
eorruptihility, and spilling it is there -1
fore a sign of broken friendships and
general upsets.
There ale some curious and very I
widespread customs of a superstitious
nature about sneezing. People some-;
times say "God bless you!" to the
sneezer. In similar circumstances the
Ronrnn% used to say, "Juniter preserve
you!" The Greeks did the same, and
the cestom was ancient even in the
time of Aristotle, who endeavor:: to
account for the custom in his Prob-
lems; but he evidently knew nothing
of its origin.
When a Ilindu sn"esee the hystand-
cry out, "Lire!" and the sneezer re-
plies, "With you." The Zulu thinks
that sneezing is a Sinn that the good
spirits are with him; other peoples
believe that it means that evil. spirits ,
are being expelled.
The prejudices about the danger of

of our prehistoric ancestors' attitude 1

Nora brimming with sweet emotions,
joyous trust, and happy hopes. If,
there was sometimes another Nora,
what did it matter? This was the

CHAPTER -X:XXIV.
It was not long before Jerry realiz-
ed that his prospects for an early
marriage had been improved by
Dave's release from prison. Before
that had taken place, Jerry had fell'
that marriage, no matter how much
he and Nora might desire it, must re
main a remote possibility. IIe could
not niarl'y her and leave his mother
to live alone; Nora could not merry
hint and leave leer mother to live
alone; and to starry and have both
mothers live with them—well,. that
would not he a promising experi-
ment, oven if his mother were will-
ing to make it, which she never
would be. .
But Dave's release had siMplified
the situation. Dave would be able
now to take care of Mrs. Scanlan;
and after Kate and Peter and' Betty
had started ei,)on their independent
career, there would be absolutely no-
thing to prevent Jerry and Nora
from getting married and taking
Mrs. Donohue to live with them. It
was clear enough to Jerry; and in
discovering that marriage, instead
of being a thought to play with, had
been suddenly brought forward into
the realm of immediate actualities,
he felt a tremor of dismay. He
would have liked not to consider it
at ail until he had passed his bar ex-
aminations anti got some kind of a
start towards the practice 'of his
new profession. It was the most in-
convenient time to have to be both-
ered by plans of mairiage and ar-
rangericnte for an entire read,iu_te
men!, of life,
Even more disturbing to Jerry
was the ominously,eletermined pre-
paration on Rate's part for the
withdrawal of her little family from
the roof that had sheltered them.
Although their departure was not
and could not be imminent, there
was a dispiriting feeling of Immin-
ence and inevitability in the air, Kate
told Jerry with unconcealed satis-
faction that the Commercial School
practically guaranteed to find ,you a
place if you had taken the full course
in stenography and had shown pro-
ficiency. And after one month at
it she reported that the instructor
was most encouraging. Jerry won-
dered jealously how she could be so
enthusiastic and so happy; it was al-
most: ungrateful of her, at certainly
was selfish. Of course young'
things were always excited by any
prospect of change; but still, if her,
affections had gone out to him and;
his mother as hie had to Peter and
Betty and even her selfish little self,;
she couldn't be so gay and sanguipe1
over the prospect.
He hardly ever had any converse -
"I tried, but I geese they didh t
went it."
Site opened the eat1elime an:f crew
out a slip that she glanced at and
then mimed over to .Jerry.
"Of Course I didn't real'y expect
hoanything mere -abut I couldn't help
'They might have written yott a
letter anyway:" Jerry exclaimed in-
dignantly. "I'll het it was good too.
Let me read it, will you, Kate?"
"No, I don't think I could. I
know Dolt' that it's poor. I would'n't
want you to 11.0 it.'
"Anyway you must keep on trying,
That's what you ought to be doing.
Much better than grubbing along in
some business office."
"But it doesn't loop as if 1• could
even grub 'olottg by writing, Jerry.
I clic} hope I could get something ac-
cepted once in a while; it wotul<I help.
But of course I don't intend to lot
writing interfere with my stain
work."
"How are you getting on with
that?"
"Pretty well now. Typewriting 1
don't have much trouble with, and I'rn
able to take simple dictation if it
isn't to fast. "They feel quite sure
I'll get a position as soon as I've
finished' the course.
"Whatever the position is, don't be
in a hurry to leave us, Kate. Don't
leave until, what with your writing
and your regular work, you can count
on at least eight hundred a year."
"No; I think that the only 'e'ey to
do is to start 0112 and be independent
when you mean to be independent.
It won't do me a bit of harm to feel
the spur of necessity."
"It won't do you a bit of good eith-
er," grumbled' Jerry.
It made him the more unhappy
the more he thought about it. He
had become so attached to Peter sncl
Betty and they to hien that he felt
it woe positively cruel to compel a
separation. Kate was a crealeore of
steel to treat thele all so. IThy did
she insist? Merely to ask himself
the question tensed him to have un-
comfortable thoughts. What else
w•a'tld the proud, hieelmseirited girl
do after receiving- such an intim :tion
of his d'csiens apse desires its Itis
mother had given Bate?
And why had his mother convey-
ed that intimation? She was not
ordinarily addieted 10 the 'Perham -
mice of gretvi 1.;s mid o.,dMoue nets.
She was not in the habit of indulging-
in idle gossip. The ironical truth
Penetrated to Jerry's mind. His
mother had eigen with deliberate in-
tent, foreseen s the presenre that rhe
would be putting upon Kate; .Terry
suspected that one p_urpnee and only
one had t c tteitcd her—to p110911 e,
so for as ate was able, that nothing
and to 0000 r-hotn'.d stand in the way
of her son': happiness.

EXPLOIT OF A
SEAFARING MAN
TORPEDOED OFF THE Coe Sr OI'

Tranptd Over the liur1Ung trends of
Nubian Desert, 111-Preatevi by
Turkish Capture.
When old salts meet and spin their
yarns of the sea the lacllubbor listens
where'er he may 1)c. Thier was time be -
time the war, and now, as the seafar-
Mg men are seiturn!ng from adven-
tures which eclipse the thrilling tales
of the past, their stories gala added
nest, tea their exploits are corlenl.)od
with service in the. war for democracy.
The tale of Captain C. W. tiwaticin-
Williants, of the. Jlritislt Navy, com-
mander of the.. Edinburgh Castle, now
lying in New York harbor, is 0000 of
the most intpressiy° of its kind re-
e-ently brought, to these shore:, as the
skipper bells it.
Fairly in the war Captain Gwatkin-
Williatns was in command'ofa small
steamship, the Tatra, which was
taken over by the British Navy and
assigned to scout duty off tete coast of
• Ireland. After fifteen months the
Taura was ordered to the Mediterran-
ean and finally reached the coast of
Egypt.
"We had been cruising for a fort-
night in that locality," said the cap-
tain, "when on Guy Fawkes' Day,
November 5, 1915, as we were cele-
brating on board ship, a torpedo
struck us and wrecked the engine
room, killing some of our men and
wounding others. It looked like
Blighty for all of us. The gun crews
took their places and began firing et
spots where they figured the submar-
Ine might be lurking. The ship was
sinking rapidly and some of the crew
managed to launch the boats. We
were making away from the sinking
ship when the submarine appeared,
formed us in line and towed us
ashore."
The captain said that he and his
crew were turned over to Turkish offi-
cers, who kicked then abort tt 0001
deal and at first refused to give them
food and wader. Finally a goat was
turned over to them for food, and the
hungry men killed it and ate it. Later,
as they travelled acrina the N ni lrtn
Desert, they were glad to eat i1). meat
of a cannel which hod been dim,ued
in a desert well, the captain sent.
"That march throueh the ilk'sort Wft3
hoerille;" continued the eldimer. •'i1),'

when night came it grew Ecol. Some
of the men couldn't stand the sudden
change from the intense heat and
went mad, Others began to rive way
from the effects of starvation, When
we diel get foot}, after a long while, it
was not lit to eat. It made us all
sic,:.
"One day, after we had marched n.
great distance, we missed a camel
from the car^iv;,,l and were ordered
by our guards to search for it. We
found it after two days in one of the
bottle shaped wells where it had fallen
and drowned. We cooked the mea4
and ata it ravenously,.

The Freedom of the Seas? The sons
are free '
While England guards them with
her nighty fleet;
England, too proudly fearless for
deceit,
Whose rule, to all alike, gives liberty!
Never WAS mariner on any sea,
• Drifting forlorn, untimely death to
meet, -
That diel not thankfully her emblem
greet,
Who rests on justice her supremacy.
Shall
We not trust who has been true
so long—
Whose fairness Freedom's banner
first unfurled—
Whose.honor saved her conquered foes
from wren,
And from their powerful thrones
oppressors hurled?
Ail, thrice has man's ambition grown
too strong—
And thrice has England's Navy
saved the world.

Still Going Strong.
After a night of frequently inter-
rupted sleep, a certain young interne
had to' come down, still sleepy, to his
hospital ward. The first patient was
a j stout old Iris}nnan.
"How goes it?" inquired the young
doctor,
"Faith, it's me hreathin', doctor. Oi
can't get me breath at all,. at all."
"Why, your pulse is normal Let me
examine the lung action," replier} the
interne, kneeling beside the cot and
laying his head on the ample chest.
"Now, let's hear you talk," he contin-
ued. closing; his oyes and listening.
"What'll Od be sayin', doctor?"
"017, say anything! Coluit one, two,
three and up," murmured the interne
drowsily.
"Wan, two, three, four, foive, six,"
beeen the patient.
When the young doctor, with a start
opened his eyes, the Irishman was
