For many years I have been pointing out the bad effect that comes from using too much starchy food. Apparently, the Orientals have come to realize that their downfall and retrogression are due to the use of too much rice. a Japanese publication has pointed- ly brought out some interesting comparisons between the diet of the Oriental and that of the Occidental world, He said in part: “China was once the forerunner of civilization, but now she has dropped from the first line vf prog- ress. Is this not the result of her rice diet? The people of Java also have retrograded because of this dict. The people of the Orient and of the South Seas feeding on rice cannot keep step in the march of civilization with Europeans and Americans, The retrogression of India, great in the olden days and famous for her culture, is entirely due to the rice diet of her people. Our own ancestors, it would seem, had large physique and superior brain power at one time. But as in Irdia and China, with the intro- duction of Buddhism, they lost the habit of eating meat. And from the lack of needed vitamins they suffered deterioration of body and brain. The reason why the Japan- ese have today brain power so far superior to the Chinese is because of the seas that surround them on all sides. They enjoy the opportun- ity of catching fish and gathering sh’ food.” This writer has the opihion that h of the yellow color in the tal skin is due to the heavy et diet, although the climatic conditions of Jnpan are not so dif- ferent from those of Europe and America. When the fair skinned Furopean or American stays long in Japan his skin gradually acquires a peculiar yellow tinge. White peo- ne turn black under the African sun, but when they return home their in resumes its original white color. Those Orientals living in the larg- er cities where green vegetables and meat may be more easily pro- evred do not have as dark skins as those natives living in the interior where rice is the principal food. There no doubt but taat the white po.ished ri der the proper conditions, and in, ture of green vegetables and meats, but polished white rice alone makes an unbalanced diet and one sadly; lacking in vitamins and organic’ jinerals. Those who wish to use| rice in their diet will do better to use the ‘unpolished or brown ricé which can now be secured in any health food store and in many of the er grocerics.

Old-rain-in-the-face Martin is just the kind he is because he is that kind, and I hope you won't attempt to deny that men got fresh with gi:ls even in your day of so-called med2st fashions. But I suppose someone always found a reason for piacing the blame on the girls. Maybe because they lifted their eyelashes and let the men peep into their souls! But listen, Mom, if men are go- ing to worry about the way girls dress there won’t be much business done. The old tosh about dressing like 2 mummy for the office is as dead as a ¢ do. il When I recall those photos in the old red plush album I groan to think of the faith the little shebas of days gone by placed in a lot of gingham and what-not to protect them against insulting sheiks.’ The way women dress hasn’t any- thing to do with the morals of a| country. I’ve heard of African regions where immorality is prac- tically unknown and the natives wear no clothes at all! ; ~ course, I’ wouldn’t advise any ain street, but I do insist that if she should attempt such a feat in one of her weak moments it would be only a natural-born polygamist who'd try to start something with her. That’s what old Martin is, and if Florence had been dressed like her grandmother he’d have “pawed” her just the same. The millions of men who are hold- ing onto their stenographers spite of scanty attire and short irts should mean something to you. It does to me. It means that men are not losing their heads at the sight of feminine figures re- by modern dress. © I'd hate to think that Alan was svch a* crumb he couldn’t be trust- ed to withstand the “temptation” of an up-to-the-minute girl in his office. I wouldn’t want him to be so unimaginative as to prefer a hhomely stenographer to a swell looker, either. No more than Id want him to lose his taste for any- thing that’s attractive. Goodness knows I still admire a good-look- ing man and I don’t see that it hurts anyone.

G. asks: “Is a blood count of 3,900,000 hemoglobin dangerous? 1 certainly think your articles are helpful.” Answer: You are mistaken in the report of your blood count. as you doubtless refer to the number of red cells, and not to the hemuglobin, which is the color of the blood and measured in percentages. When the number of red cells falls below four and a half million, it must always be 'considered a sign of diseasee. As yours is below four million you should certainly do everything you can to find what is causing such a decrease. The blood examination alone will not tell the cause. You must have a complete diagnosis, with urin-analysis, X-ray examination, (and a thorough body examination 'made by a competent diagnostician. Do not delay this examination. Question: | Mrs. J. writes: “Kindly explain if it is true that the citric acid fruits have an irritating effect on the bladder. I have a blad- der weakness and it seems to be ag- gravated whenever I drink orange juice or lemon juice. Also, how |does a wholewheat product and brown sugar go together?” Answer: Those who have cystitis or any bladder irritation will often notice an added irritation when they take any acid fruits or go on a fast. This is designs of the large amount of toxins being eliminated. This in- creased elimination is due to the stimulation of the eliminative func- tions through the use of the acid fruits, or to fasting. The acid of the fruit course does not reach the blad- der, but is converted and really has an alkaline reaction, Any irrita- tion caused when these fruits are used is because of the added elimina- tion of toxins. It is not advisable to use any kind of sugar with whole wheat or other grains. This means brown sugar, honey, maple syrup, as well as the commercial white sugar. inum, gold anu silver. So poptlar is the extravagant fad, I am told, that a shop recently opened in the upper Fifties for the turning out of or- nate keys. Robert Coleman, a fellow column- ist, advises me that he heard of one such key, made of platinum anc set with diamonds, the cost of which was well over a thousand dollars. | se 8 Such costly toys are generally ‘brought into vogue by those pam- pered girlies of the night club route whose reputations start out by be- ing uncertain but oe certainty as time goes on.

The bejeweled key is nothing par- ticularly new under the sun. It is a cut-back to the Orient when keys were bedazzling and sparklingly or- nate.
