In these days of many-ciphered movie contracts, and of de luxe com- muting between Broadway and Holly- ‘wood, it is an interesting contrast to read in an old theatrical magazine that Sarah Bernhardt, the Divine Sarah, leading tragedienne of the world, commanded—and received— the fabulous sum of $600 a perform- ance on one of her American tours and living expenses of $20 a day. That was top notch 50 years ago, when she was in the height of her power, and it was front page news. s* & MODISH CO-EDS Those earnest ink-stained college girls of half a century ago, too, who took their educations so seriously, dressed so sensibly, and wore such; practical clothes—and under clothes |—would probably have been scandal- ized to receive a circular issued by one of Fifth Avenue's smart shops de- voted to chic under things for smart college women, including: A dance pantie of chiffon mi- lanese with side inserts of ruffled net—shell, nude or black— A dainty evening slenderette that is entirely backless, made of milanese trimmed with lace and net footing— Sleeping or lounging pajamas, made especially for school, in blue, green, peach or egg-shell with contrasting applique— Low-backed vest and shorts in stripped silk for athletic or cam- pus wear—and little brief breeches for sport or campus wear— Popular petal-petticoat bloomer for the dance—very short, in shell, blue or nude—and numerous other pieces of engaging lingerie.

Johnson in the American Medical association. According to him there is no found- ation for the popular belief that smoking decreases the weight of an individual. Nor does he find scien- tific backing for the theory that to- bacco plays such a major part in the history of heart disease as has been ascribed to it. Being a smoker him- self, Dr. Johnson approached the matter with an unbiased mind. He, conducted his experiments and made observations on smokers and non- smokers alike. His conclusion was| that the ill effects of. smoking were | chiefly local, exerted principally on the larynx. i He concluded that the average! highly nervous individual smokes to excess because he is nervous rather than that he is nervous because he smokes to excess. In the average in- dividual, the effect of a smoke was soothing rather than stimulating, he found. So don't be too hopeful when you reach for and shun the cigarette and the chocolate respectively. It won't excuse you from the 18-day diet or from counting your calories. It isn't that simple. {BARBS | e °@ President Hoover expresses pleasure that no nickname has been fastened upon him since he entered the white house. He'd better be careful with his talk.

I made her nose bleed,” Nancy’s voice repeated the last words over and over again in a shrill, tri- umphant chant. It doesn’t sound nice, but as a mat- ter of fact it was splendid. For Nancy was a shy morsel of humanity who until now had been entirely at the mercy of any brave, bad child who crossed her path. Children had taken her toys and knocked her over with impunity. Janey was an especially sturdy offender. To Janey the affeir was just a bloody nose, to be washed and for- gotten, but to Nancy, it was an eman- cipation. No longer does she call for help and wail miserably when at- tacked. Instead she strikes out for herself. The children who have dominated her in the past begin to treat her with new respect.

It is certainly true that the use of canned foods is increasing at a very rapid rate each year. It is | Tight that this should be so, for with our new improved methods of canning it is possible to get almost any kind of food at any time in the year. | Prices have been gradually reduced, and “eating out of cans” is often even j cheaper that buying fresh foods. The foods canned by the large can- neries are well preserved, excellent in | taste, and perfectly wholesome. Of course, it is impossible for these foods to have exactly the same flavor as would be found when the same foods were freshly prepared, cooked only a short time, and served immediately at the table. But the food value is changed very little, if at all, with most of the canned food products. The one canned product which leads all others is milk. It is esti- mated that each American family uses $15.00 worth of canned milk per year. The leader among canned fruits is the peach, and the “Big 3” among the vegetables are tomatoes, then peas, and then corn. A hundred years ago there was not a tin can in the world. The tin can is really a steel can. The stecl is used for strength and then coated with the tin to prevent rusting. The word “can” comes from “canister” which is from the Greek word “reed.” The early baskets were woven from reed, and were used to hold teas and coffees. When an Englishman made the first can he called it a “canister,” which we shorten to “can. Most of the commercial canners use the tin cans in place of the glass jars which are used more by the house- wife in home canning. Foods preserved in tin cans are just as wholesome, providing there has been no injury to the can and no leakage of air. The commom method used in the canneries is to seal the food in the can and then cook it while in the can can are killed, and fermentation or putrefaction cannot develop. If the housewife learns how to use a simi- lar “cold pack” method, she can can almost any kind of food, and it will keep in excellent condition. (More about canning tomorrow.)

Mod- ern dentistry hds progressed very rap- idly in the last ten years, and dentists using the newer methods are able to do wonderful things that they could not accomplish before. Until your friend finds a dentist who can fit him properly he should live on an exclus- ive milk diet, supplemented with minced non-starchy vegetables. Three quarts of milk daily will give him enough nourishment if the vegetables are used. Question: Mrs. 8. W.G. asks: “Is it safe to rub ice on the neck and face to tighten the muscles? Is there any chance of causing paralysis of the neck muscles? Answer: The ice treatment to the neck and face is excellent for strengthening the muscles. The cold makes the muscles contract, and in this way they are developed and brought back to a normal tone. I have never heard of any injury being caused by this treatment, and it cer- tainly cannot produce paralysis, Baby’s Diet Question: Mrs. H. J. L. asks: “Will you please tell me what foods should en @ baby eighteen months old?” Answer: Pure cow's milk provides all the nourishment necessary for the eighteen months old baby. The quan- tity must be foned to suit the type and temperament. If any other foods besides the milk are used, they should be fruits and the non-starchy vegetables. Trouble With Elbow Question: T.
