Prevent Rancid Lard: 'hu>* JThe prevention of lard from turning rancid has been announced by the University of Minnesota chemists. By using a concentration of .01 per cent nordihydroguaiaretic acid, derived from creosote bush, no harmful^ results were found. By using the treated lard in ready mixes for biscuits, pastries, ^tc., the storage life of these, products is greatly increased. Under accelerated aging tests, treated lard stood up 30 times longer than the untreated lard. This is the, equivalent of 50 weeks of the treated lard at kitchen temperatures. The new method' will aid the pork producers ^in retaining their lard markets. Pig Food Consumption . ' Pies, when fed efficiently and •' marketed at the usual weight, will show a gain of 100 pounds for a food consumption of 400 pounds. PEEVE "E LEAVES WITHOUT. GROCERIES WHO COMES WITHOUT R0INT5 married there as soon as he was free. A happy month followed, then Lynn, who is a doctor, was sentto Criina, and Junior and I .canlrhome to Syracuse, where my hister-in-law and hor baby jomed us for tho duration. "Junior is an eager, normal, affectionate little follow, and I know he loves tne. But the trouble began when<be came home one day to report that 'Mammy' had come ta school and had taken him to lunch; She had promised him trips to the circus and the movies and given him a penknife. This mother of his "wen^ to San Diego upon her second marriage, and has shown no interest in Junior until now. ,He asked me if^X minded him seeing his mother. Of cotfrse l said no, hoping that this exhibition of interest was just a flash in the pan. t "I wrote to Lynn about it and he answered with much feeling that •AdeTe was an unbalanced and hysterical pei san, bound to excite and hurt Junior, that she had shown no affection for him in his babyhood and that the understanding was that she was to; have no responsibility for hivn whatsoever. He writes that she agreed a year ago to this arrangement. Mother-in-Law Interferes. "But a complication is that my husband's mother, old Mrs. Bates, has always sympathized with Adele, who evidently flatters and amuses her, and while I am" working--for J still keep my hours as. office nurse at the clinic--they often pick him up after school, and carry him off for ice-cream, cookies, stories, spoiling him generally. His mother does his homework for him, and he comes home tired", unmanageable, and with no appetite for supper. He wants it debated continually: 'I have to love my own mother most, don't 1, Aunt Mollie? My Granny says that If Daddy gets killed I'll go live fiirith my real mother.' "I went tu see my mother-in-law,, ti ied to explain how dij^fiqult all this makes things for me. Her answer was that if Lynn were home it would be different; as it is, the child's mother comes first. She lives in a small apartment; Adele also has a very small place but visits and goes about continually. . Here we have a spacious backyard and a windmill, and Junior's friends live all about. I went to see our lawyer. He tells me that short of court proceedings I cannot do anything while rLynn is awayr-. Adele says that she wants her Child, and in any court, he says, that hA:; tremendous appeal. 1 don't wat;t to admit myself beaten, but I do want your advice." • • • „ My advice, Molly, is that. y<iusurrender the child at once to his mother When Lynn gets1 home he can LET HER HAVE JUNIOR Molly finds herself in a tangled situation, She is the second wife of a doctori now in service. Her husband, Lynn, left his eightyear- old son in her care. All went well until Lynn's first wife, Adele% began to take a renewed interest in her son. Junior. She now takes hint to sthe show, gives him presents and, in general, "spoils him" Lately Adele has been demanding possession of her child, and htnting at legal action. Lynn, writing from far-off China, is entirely opposed to this-. It all places Molly in a difficult and annoying position. Miss Norris counsels Molly to give in gracefully to A dele's wishes. When Adele hai had the care and worry that an eight-yearold entails, she will- probably be glad enough to relinquish him after a little while. 7 hen, says Miss Norris, Molly can make her own terms about taking him back.

Adele's action^ smack just a little of nrialice; sheets evidently try»: ing to annoy, you. This will completely reverse the situation, and call the bluff of both these women.' An eight-jear-old boy is a great care and responsibility; he is noisy, de-. manding, destructive, he cannot be left alone in an apartment, and yet he can't be taken to week-end ^parties and dances. The care of hi* clothes and meals is a real burden, and to be away frotn his friends will~mtfke him all the. more restless and dissatisfied. Let them try it awhile, and get a good rest yourself before, upon some pretext or another, they send him back to you. Andwhen they do, make your own terms. Gain Lynn's Sympathy, If Lynn .rages About this, rise above it. Merely aji*wer him a§ amiably as you can th you talked to your lawyers/ who assured you that you have no authority, and that you will not make a legal battle of it until Lynn comes home. Go on after that with the usual chatty, affectionate letters, as if the question was closed once and for all. If you treat it in this spirit, with no ugliness or argument, Lynn's sympathy Will inevitably go to you. his young wife Jbeing harassed by these older women. And very shortly you will begin to receive messages that Junior would like to »ome home for the week-end^ that perhaps it would be better for him to finish the school year under your guidance, since it is so much nearer. Then!you can say "yes" or "no," just as <you feel inclined. If it is yes, be sure to stipulate that only occasional visits are to be permitted, for the child's own sake, to his mother and his grandmother.
