It Makes a Nicer Cool Drink "SALADA ^TEA h • SERIAL STORY INTERNE TROUBLE By Ehnore Cowan Stone â- y NCA SKRVICC. INC. I CHAPTER 1 Tran Dearborn entered Saint .Vincent's as a student nurse with, out any one's having taken the trouble to warn her that, in a big hospital, the lowest form of hu- man life is a probationer .... Lower than the callowest of the in- ternes â€" althoug-h even Tran could see that their a.ssumption of jaun- ty sophistication was often but a thin cloak to hide panic and a devastating sense of bewilderment. When Tran's mother had chris- tened her "Tranquility," her hus- band had warned her that she was iniviting disastei. "And anyhow," ht- had said, "you don't suppose any one is go- ing to call her that, do you?" And, of course, no one did. "Tranquilily" seemed so prepos- terously out of keeping with ev- erything that was Tran Dearborn. Perhaps that was because her slight body, with its restless danc- ing feet, and hands that would dart intv; quick gestures unle.ss she held them tightly clasped, seemed to be driven by a nervous dynamo too powerful for its size. . . . More likely it was because of her eyes. Those wide, dark eye.s of Tran's â-  â€" .so out of proportion to her small pale face, with the dusting of golden freckles over a high-bridg- ed nose that might have been haughty if it had not been faintly funny^oftcn gave her a resemb- lance to a startled fawn on the verge of flight . . . That is, unless you sa'/ them at one of those times when her sense of humor got the best of her most painstaking endeavors to look gravely re- spectful â€" v.hile the head nurse vras explaining the house rules governing probationers, for in- stance. At such times Tran managed to keep her other features composed in an earnestly resi)ectful look by biting her cheeks hard â€" but her ayes .she n -ver could control, even by opening them very wide. Of course people had not really called her "TruiU|Liility" even in her early school days at Mi.ss Brand's of Virginia, or later, af- ter her mother and father had died and Aunt Clara had taken her from one Continental school to an- other . . . All that was befo"-e Tran knew that she would have a living to earn with her own hands. But it WIS not until she entered the training school at Saint Vin- cent's that people really began to canvass the delightful possibilities for parody presented by her given name. Emergency One day, during her first few weeks at the hospital, sht was tak- en with a group of other student nurses on u demonstration tour of some of th;' less exciting ward.s.

The rest of Tran's group passed demurely on, herded by an older nurse . . . {Jut not Tran. This that was happening in Ena- ergency was the kind of thing she had hoped she wac comjng to the hospital to learn about. Yet up bo date she had not had an opportun- ity to learn about much of any- thing e.xcept unexciting matters like the anatomy of the circulatory system, and how to make beds â€" and above all, how not to address one's superiors . . . Among other things â€" as Tran had dis- covered after several dishearten- ing experiences â€" "probes," as the probationers were vulgarly called, did not make brash suggestions to their betters unless asked for them. Now, a< Tran stood entranced with curiosity, some one else came along the coiTidor and halted out- side the door of Emergency. Glancing over her shoulder, Tran saw a tali, handsome man whose spotless white linen emphasized his look of glowing cleanliness and vitality a^id self-confidence; and whose arrogant nose and deep-set blue eyes suggested a native im- patience not too firmly leashed. Tran's heart missed a beat as she recognized him. Only the day before some one had pointed Dr. Sargent out to her as the most brilliant sugrcon â€" and the most gosh-awful ir.an to work under â€" in the whole hospital. It was his "gosh-awfulncss that had won for him the nickname of "Top Sergeant," clipped for convenience to "Top Sarge." To make a mistake vbeii you were helping him was as much as your uniform was worth .... To be personally requested to^sist him at an operation was the equivalent of a royal command. That was the mark Tran had set herself to shoot at. Now the dark, friendly young interne on duty in Emergency glanced uj) from the figure the ofliccrs had placed on the table and called, "Oh, Dr. Sargent, please! If you have a minute, I'd appreciate some advice, sir." Wouldn't I Do.' The tall white-clad figure went into the room. After a hasty glance up and down the corridor, Tran recklessly slid in after him. The two men bent over, study- ing the angry red hole in the bare patch the interne had e.\-posod on the patient's right shoulder. Tran, fascinated beyond thought of cau- tion, eased herself closer, until her breath was almost upoi\ the backs of their necks. "Pretty deep, shouldn't you say, sir?" the interne suggested defer- entially. "[ think I'll need a probe." "\ probe, !)y all means," Dr. Sargent agreed. Tran could hardly believe her ears. "Probes," she had been told, never got within a mile of operationsâ€" much |e.s.s to help with them. Yet the iMnergency'iiiterne had undoubtedly said that a "probe" was needed; and the ter- rifying "Top Sarge" had agreed with him. It seemed providential tiiat she was on the spot. Tran cleared her throat .so sharply that they both jumped and turned, frowning at her. "Perhaps," she said breathless- ly, "perhap.s- -wouldn't 1 do? I'm one- a 'probe', I mean, she hur- lied on â€" as if her gray dress and voluminous apron were not sufii- eient advertisement of her low c-j-late. The young interne's face under- went a Hort of convulsion; he turned his buck and made a dis- I oncerting noise that sounded like a cross between a sneeze, a .sob, and a smothered prayer. The terrible "Top Sarge" just stood, looking. Hut something in the way he looked gave the effect « * nn amazed Olympian surveying from the heights a particularly in- â- ignificant worm. â- Tran's heart began to sink. She I ouldti'i be mistaken, lie had de- finitely said, "A probe, by all mean.'!." . . Later, of course, she was to learn that when a surgeon asks [or a "probe" the chances are at least one to a billion billion that be (loes not mean a student nurse, but a surgical Instrument used for extracting embedded solids . . . . Now she only understood that something was terribly wrong. Jutt Looking Nevertheless, she persisted, "I â- mean â€" well, you did say you needed a 'pfobe', didn't you?" "And even so," Top Sarge spoka with a chilling politencfs, "may I I'-sk what you happen to be doing in here?" Tran put her hands into the jmckets of her uniform to keep them from shaking. "I was â€" well â€" looking," she managed to get out. "I" â€" desper- ately she strove for a more chatty note â€" "a hospital is such an inter- esting place â€" don't you think?" Then â€" because the more fright- ened she was, the more irresist- ibly she wanted to laugh â€" she took her cheeks hard between her teeth; but her traitor eyes got big- ger and darker and shinier in her pale little face. "So interesting," he said, his own eyes like remote blue ice, "that if you're quite through sight-seeing here, I should appre- ciate your going to do your look- ing elsewhere." By Name Of "Tranquility" .â- \ftej- a quivering instant, Tran went, with what dignity she could muster. ".\nd who, Benchley," Dr. Sar- gent demanded, "would that feath- er-brain be?" "Her given name â€" believe it or not â€" is Tranquility â€" Tranquility Dearborn," ho said. "But she's more popularly known as 'Util- ity'." ".And what, in heaven's name, i.s .she doing in this hospital â€" or any other, for that matter?" "Well â€" as her nickname rather neatly implies â€" just about any- thing that nobody else wants bo do â€" heaven help her!" Whether Heaven heard his prayer or not, not many minutes had elapsed before Tran was to need the benefit of prayer. (To Be Continued) Proper Care of Mouth and The Teeth Should Be Taught In Childhood So much has been publisheii and so much has been said over the radio and in other ways about the ciire of the mouth and teeth that it would seem hardly likely that anyone could have missed the nec- essary Information. Nevertheless, It Is still important, it we can Judge by what we sen around lis, lo em- phasize that the mouth and the teeth are Important for health and that their proper care means that I hey will ri^mnln useful longer than tliey would otherwise.

Household Pests: Their Control Ants, Cockroaches, Moths, Houseflies Are Near the Top of the List of Home En- emies â€" Different Treatment / For Each Amoug the enquiries for inform, ation on household insects receiv- ed by the Division of Entomology, of the Science Service. Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, probably the most numerous relate to such common pests as auts. cockroaches, silverfisli. clothes moths, carpet beetles, ho'ise flies, and bedbugs. Ants, cockroaches anil silverfish can be controlled by the same in- secticides: namely, by a mixture of (Hiual parts of sodium fluoride and pyrethrum powder, or b.v the first- named insecticide alone. The pow- der, which is a poison and should be used with caution on that ac- count, may be applied with a small dust gun or Insecticide |)uffer, blowing It into the cracks and crev- ices where the insects occur and In other places which they fre- quent. The prevention of damaRe by clothes moths and carpet beetles Is less simple and requires spocial care and forethought.

Too often is this choice food listed for Fridays aud Lenten dishes only. In warm weather as the family loses their appetite for your ordinary meat course, try your tactics on fish dishes. This of course Is the best season for fresh fish. Fresh fish is divided into two classifica- tions "white" and "oily". In white fish the oil is In the liver, but In salmon it is all in the body. The flesh or gooa fish should be firm and elastic, eyes bright, full, round aud bulging. The tail should not be drooping aud the gills should be red and full of blood. A Simple Dressing Baked fish or steamed is much better for the digestion than the fried, aud serving this way calls for a dresslug. Here is a simple dressing: 1 cup cracker or bread crumbs 1 tablespoon salt 1 teaspoon chopped onion 1 teaspoon chopped parsley 1/8 teaspoon pepper 2 tablespoons butter Clean, wipe and dry tisii. Rub with salt. Fill cavity with stuffing, then sew cavity, rub all over with butter and salt and pepper, aud a little flour. Place in hot oven to bake. If steaming, prepare lu the same manner. For those who find it difficult to obtain fresh fish, do not think un- kindly of canned fish. Canned goods to-day are under very rigid supervision aud are thus prepared lu a very scientific manner, lusist upon a gooM brand â€" it does not pay to buy chci.p ones, and in so doing you will bo protected. Any pautry lacking thcso valuable cauued goods in summer is only running on throe cylinders. We have two special favorites, salmon and luua. There are two valuable points to remember about canned salmon. Firstly the liquid in the tin should be retained, for it is rich lu iodiue. Secondly, ^vhile we discard the bones of home cooked salmon the canned should be kept and crush- mi. These bones contain valuable minerals. Tuna, the "chicken of the sea" is the fish we should auto- matically turn to as an alternative to the faithful bird from the poul- try farm. There are few things we do with chicken serving cither hot or cold, which are not eqi-illy good when marie with tuna. â€" o â€" Baked Salmon Loaf Put one cup milk Into a double boiler and add enough bread crumbs lo make a smooth paste. ('ook until thick, stirring constant- ly, add a can of salmon chopped, cup of cream, salt and pepper to season, 3 eggs beaten separately, folding In the stiffly beaten whites last. Mix thoroughly, pour into a buttered mold. Set into a pan of hot water and bake until lirm in a moder.ilo oven. - o Jellied Tuna 9)4 nz. tin of cream of spinach soup H cup thick boiled salad dressing 1 package (pint) plain golatloe >4 cup boilin; water \ 1 cup naked tuna fish % teaspoon salt 1|8 teaspoon pepper 2 tablespoons chopiped pimento Heat the soup.
