HEALTH BABIES RECRUIT EXTRA HELPER IN JOB Newcomer, Like Others, Is Life-Size Doll—Some Models Alive. The Indiana heilth babies —Betty, Billy and Dorothy—who have traveled extensively over the State and are cn exhibition at the Indianapolis Public Health Institute at the Hotel Lincoln, now have a little sister, Alice Marie. She is a dainty, little lady dressed in becoming baby clothes. She says “mamma” so distinctly she is the envy of the older members of the family. Betty and Dorothy have new dresses for the institute, but Billy has no clothes, as he is used for bath tub demonstration and must be kept clean, whether te likes it or not. Mrs. Hugh A. Cowing of Muneie, wife of the vice president of the State board of henlth, presented Betty, Billy and Dorothy with their new little sister. Marie, like her sisters and brothers, is a life size doll and she will be used also to demonstrate the proper care of bablos. Dr. Ada Schweitzer, who is director of the division of infant and child hygiene in the State board of health, is enthusiastic over a device for Billy's bath. It consists of a small bath tub and dressing table combined which fits over any regulation bath tub, thus giving tho mother a convenience in bathing the baby that can not be excelled for comfort, both to the mother and the Infant. All of the Indiana health babies, with the devices for their care, are taken over the State in their ' health car” for demonstration field work given by Dr. Schweitzer. During the institute here a group of live babies have been put through examination tests to determine their state of health. Most of the babies have been happy dnring the examinations and they have been rewarded with new picture book for good conduct during tho tests. Dr. Schweizter has been assisted in tho demonstrations by Dr. M. May Allen, her now assistant, who reported for duty this week. SOCIETY WOMAN HAS PET MONKEY Vest Pocket Simian Not Unlike Mary’s Lamb.

Kill or Cure By Ralph Cummins

When Ethel Snlvcly and Carter Ravenai attempt an elopement, their Automobile b rente a down on a lonely road over the mountains and they are unable to proceed. A mountaineer named Snell, who occupies a cabin near tho scene of the accident, I takes the pair in for the night. Snell discovers tho game of young people i And decides to save the girl from ; ltaveuai. The next morning Snell prepares fer a long trip over the mountains on his pack mules and ! forces Ethel to accompany him, after I dismissing Kavennl. Following a long, tiresome ride through the storm Hnell and Ethel arrive at another cabin In Devil’s Hole. Here they find themselves shut In for the winter. Snell promises protection to tho girl and gives hear a revolver with which to defend herself. If necessary. Perplexed over the Situation. Ethel concludes to make the beet of it. She becomes the cabin housekeeper and learns to live the life of the mountains, waiting a chance to notify her father and return to her luxurious home. An accident to Knell opens tho way to a communication with home, but In the meantime an attachment hoe k-own between tha girl and the monntaJneer and the narrative nears the dose. CHAPTER Xlll—Continued With that plaintlT* worry growing in his bard, gray eyes, he tramped up and down until bis call came. Than ha sprang to the instrument. “Sheriff 7 Oh, deputy—Regan? Say, yon ain’t Regan that usta be at Blue Rock? That ao? Well, I'll be—say, this is Jim Sniveler—yon was my shift boss in the Granny Third ” Tha old man clutched the receiver tightly against his ear and hi* voice rumbled eacerly, breaking still more into the clipped and broken speech of the mining camps. “Now, I!ssen‘, off timer—th#y‘s a girl somewhere in yore town—she's my girl—j Ethel. You hunt her up—nol Walt a minute! Ray, is they any way to get Into Devil s Hole? Huh? A wagon road? I Say, that's great! Yon rustle uh car Jest as quick as th’ devllH let yuh, an' beat it into th’ Devii’a Hole-—they's ub man in there—maybe—” Sniveley swallowed with a choking effort, and hia eyes narrowed as with a spasm of pain. Then he poked his lips deeper into the transmitter and hurled directions, sharp and definite, over the miles of wire to Deputy Regan at Walker City. Btu when he had finished and hed returned to the don. the flash of fire had burned out. and he walked with the limping shuffle of a broken man. His eyes, filled with dread, wavered nnseetr.g about the room. He tried to light his pipe, but th# coal burned hia finger*. He attempted to settle into his chair, but in a moment he was up again, restlessly pacing the room. Suden'y be stopped with an exclama-

tion “Why, I Jn*t about forgot Ethie.” He elnmped out to the garage and awoke a sleepy chauffeur, “Go down to the Day and N'ght Bank,” he ordered, pteking at his check book, “and see about wiring tr-oo to Welker Ciry. It's to Ethie,” he added, hia eyes leaping np to the other's face in a hard challenge. After the chauffeur had gone he went to the telephone and dictated a telw gram to Ethel. Then he returned to hia restless paring In the d*n. Once when his eyea fell upon the door of a little safe set lu the wall he walked eagerly aeross to it and twirled the knob with trembling fingers. With n boyish itnpaiienee he Jerked the door open and reached inside. "Nover'll need that last bottle more than right now,” he muttered. Bnt with his fingers twisting at the silvery seal of the long bottle he paused, shook his head uneasily, and replaced the bottle in the snfe. An hour dragged by—an hour that agvd Jim Sniveley ten yeare. His straggly gray hnir was ruffled by a hundred restless pnwings of his nervous fingers Tie had torn off the necktie from the collar of his gray flannel sh'rt. One of hia slippers had dropped off bnt he did not notice the loss IHs face was full of a pitiful agony that further expressed itself in muttered groans, and doubtdriven shakings of his grey head. With a startling suddenness the telephone bell echoed through the silent house. Pnively had to clutch (he table for support. Then slowly as if forced by the power of his will he answered the insistent bell. "Yes -you got him! Well .” is voice was hushed ns he listened lie did not speak again. When the man in the far off mountain town had ceased speaking, it required both of Snlveley’s trembling hands to replace the receivei on the book. In a daze he wnlked into the den. He panged beside the table and leaned weakly upon it. His lips trembled until he eanght the lower one between his teeth. Then ids eyes troubled him. He dashed his hand across them, and blinked down at the wet splashes upon the tabletop. Suddenly the reaction came. He sprang erect and slapped his haud across his winking ayes. “By Joe!" he exclaimed, his voice husky. Ills restless, strangely brilliant eye* fell upon the safe door. ‘‘By .Toe!" he cried and sprang across the room. With sure quick movements

he Jerked out the bottle, tore away the seal and twisted out the cork. ‘By Joe!" he mumbled brokenly, and clumped with stumbling uneven steps back to the table. “By Joe!" He snatched np a flower vase I and dashed it* contents upon the fire. | With a Jerking hard he poured the red- | dish liquor into the vase. “By Joe!” he murmured softly, and lifted the vase as If to toast some vision : in the air. “By—Joe!” The va*e slipped from his trembling hand. Ills twitching lips escaped con- , trol. His rugged face was convulsed [With a terrible emotion. Great tears 1 rolled from his blinded eyea. ‘‘Thank God!” he moaned. “Thank— God I” His head dropped forward upon his arms. His shoulders heaved with mighty choking *obs. When Ethel awoke late the next morni ing her father's reply to her telegram had arrived. Its contents puzzled her until she remembered Ravenai. “Everything forgiven,” ran tie wire. “Come home. Am sending money.— Dad.” “Why!” she exclaimed angrily. “He still thinks I've been with—that Ravenai. He—the little sneak—he never told a word about it." Then she tossed her head. Why worry ever that. By this time Snell would be safe. She would go shopping for some clothes and take the first train for home. But several hours later, as she waited on the station platform for the train, the man whom *he had hired to bring Snell in, cams up to her. “Your man couldn't hare bene bad hurt,” he said. “He had left when I got there.” “Qone? Why, where could he have gone?” ' “Don't know.” He gave an "I-shonld-worry” shrug. “He had animals—he maybe Just naturally rode out." Sniveley met Ethel at the train. He had no complaint to make of a lack of warmth in the .girl’s greeting. She threw her arms about h!s neck. “Oh, dad!” she murmured brokenly. ; “Dad! My dad!” H* patted her head tenderly, hie eyes strangely bright. “Well, by Joe. E?hie—you—you’re almost skinny. Looks like you’d lost twenty pounds." i They were hardly seated in the ear | before Ethel was eagerly busy at explanation. “It wasn't Ravenai," she murmured. “I started to elope with—with him—and I found ont—no, I didn't either. There j waa a man —a-- mountaineer, or a trap- | per. He found out that Ravenai was j —that well this mountaineer took me away from Ravenai.” j “By Jove!" ejaculated Snlreiy. (To Be Continued.)

PUSS IN BOOTS, JR. By DAVID CORT. "

After the story of Jack and the Bean Rt.aik was finished, Puss Junior toasted his toes in front of the fire, and pretty soon the little old man began to snore, and this made Tom Thumb so sleepy that he, too, fell asleep. But th* little yellow hen was wide awake and so was Puss Junior, for they bad become so excited in telling their adventures with the Giant that they dldn t feel the least bit sleepy. And Just then the wind, which was blowing through the forest, came down the chimney and scattered the ashes all over- the floor and some olew in the little old man's face. “Botheration!" he exclaimed, waking up with a start “My oeard nearly caught on fire. But never mind. Tell us another tale, my good Mir Cat” Puss Junior wrinkled his forehead; then he scratched his head, and after that he said, “I will tell you about Cinderella. One evening, as I was walking through a deep forest 1 saw a little light through the trees.

“So I hurried on, and p -etty toon I -•anie to a small house, and when I looked 1 through the window I saw Cinderella sitting alone by the fireside. She seeme.? very sad, for every now and then she wiped her eyes with her apron. Suddenly a queer little old woman, with a high peeked bat, bounced in through the door. And the next minute Cinderella's old dress changed into a magnificent gown. Then the queer little old woman waved her wand, and in pranced six little mice drawing a coach.” “What do you suppose would have happened to you, Mr. Puss Junior, if you had dashed in and eat'n one of those little mice?" said Tom 1 humb. “I'm sure I don't now.” replied Pnss, "but I didn't. I J st hung on to the window-sill and If >ked in. Suddenly the little mice drev the coach out of the room, and when tb y were outside of the house the old wot. an waved her wand, and, lo and behold, .here stood six beautiful white horses and a coach big enough for Cinderella to ride in. “In another moment she ran out of the house, her little glass slippers going clinkerty-klink on the stone walk. Then the footman helped her in and closed the j door, and after that he blew his beautiful j silver horn and away rattled the coach ; to the ball. “And just as it disappeared in the I darkness the fairy godmother saw me. j •Come inside, my dear Puss Junior,’ she ' said. So I walked in and sat down by j the fire, and next time you shall hear ! what happened after that.”—Copyright, 1922. (To be eontinned.)

The Hoopers Tell How Five Live on a Limited Income Problems of Home Solved by Practical Budget Given Daily in Times. [The Hoopers, an average America® family of five, living in a suburban town, on a limited It-come, will tell the readers of the Daily Times how the many present-day problems of the home are solved by working on the budget that Mrs. Hooper has evolved and found practical. Follow them daily in an interesting review of their borne life and learn-to meet the conditions of the high cost of living with them.] THURSDAY. “I’ve had all the things sent over to the new house from storage today,” said Henry as he was leaving the house after breakfast,” and the furniture you bars bought can go out there today, toy. Then Roger and I will stay all night and unpack as much as possible before we leave there in the morning.” “That will be fine,” said Mrs. Hooper. “They promised to send those beds up the first thing this morning and I’m going right over there now to meet the woman I have engaged to clean up and see that she !h there when the things arrive.” “Can't you be there yourself?" in. quired Mr. Hooper. ‘‘Gracious no!" exclaimed Mrs. Hoop, er. “I have to go right back downtown and finish my shopping. I didn't get as much done yesterday as I expected. In these stores where I am strange it takea me such a long time to locate the things I want, though T must say the people in the shops In Indianapolis are the most helpful and courteous I have ever met anywhere.” “What are you going te do with Betty?" asked Mr. Hooper as he lifted his small daughter down from her chair, “Do you intend to leave her out at the new house when you go in town?” “sh, I don’t think so,” answered Mr®. Hooper, “althocgh I suppose it would be perfectly safe. Our friend downstairs said the would be glad to keep her for me again today, and I think I'd worry less abont If she were here rather than playing about in that empty house,” “Betty doesn't want to stay downstairs,” whimpered tha child. “Betty don't like that lady i” “Oh, you mustn't say that, dear,” said Mrs. Hooper. “That is a very kind lady and you had a nice time yesterday, I know. There is a bird and a pussy cat and a nice big couch to sleep on.” “Betty wants to go with mother and not stay with the lady,” she whined as her father smoothed back her curls. “Derhaps you had better take her out to the new house and leave ter there,” remarked Henry, “nothing can possibly happen to her end there 1* no need of giving her an unhappy day.” “Oh, there is no sense in indulging her like that, nor any reason why she should have an unhappy day," declared ths pra.-tical Mrs. Hooper. “But when I finish my shopping I'll stop here on the way out and take her with me.” “You won't be here at lunch time then will you mother?” asked Roger as he started for his room to gather up his school books. “No, I’ll leave your lunch prepared and you can all get it when you come home.” sa'.d Mrs. Hooper. “You can stop and bring Betty up for lunch and take her back and leave her when you go back to school." So it was settled and Mrs. Hooper after putting the woman to work at the new hc/use spent the afternoon buying table* and chairs for the kitchen and dining room and assembling just enough furniture so they could sleep and eat comfortably when they moved in on Saturday, After that she planned to make her purchases more leisurely end get exactly what she wanted from any source that might present Itself be it auction or second-hand places or department stores.
