Who heeds my warnings never will Through unpreparedness sufer ill —O0ld Bother Peter Rabbit reached the Smiling Pool without mishap and looked ea- gerly for Jerry Muskrat Jerry wasn't to be seen. Peter looked over at Jer- ry's house, near where the Laughing Brook entered the Smiling Pool. Was his imagination, or was Jerry's house bigger than it had been the last time he had seen it? Peter couldn’t be sure. It was some time since he had visited the Smiling Pool, and then he hadn't taken any special notice of Jerry's house. But now he looked at It very hard, and the more he looked the more the feeling grow that it was bigger than it had been. Certainly, Jerry had been at work on it. But that might The School Shoe Shop Featuring Extended Soles to Save the Toes Sizes 2 50 not mean anything more than that o Jerry was getting it ready for win- 8% to 1l........ ter. " He did this every fail. Still he couldn't get rid of the feeling that ! Sizes it was bigger than it ever had been 3.25 before. Presently he saw something mov- ing out from among the rushes on the further side of the Smiling Pool. At first it looked as if some fallen rushes were floating out of their own accord. Then he made out a litile brown head in the middle of them. 1402, .uun..n. Arthur Burt Co. 1343 F What is “A Blessing on Your Head” ? ED. PINAUD'S HAIR TONIC HELLO JERRY!" CALLED PETER. Peter knew instantly that it was Jerry Muskrat bringing more rushes for that house. “Hello, Jerry!" called Peter. Jerry didn't reply. He couldn't. You see, his mouth was rull of those rushe: He knew better than to try to talk with his mouth full. When he reached his house he climbed out of the water and dragged the rushes up on the roof. Then, without suying a | i word, he carefully worked them in place where he wanted them. When he had fixed them to suit himself he sat down to re: “Hello, Peter,” said he, his eyes twinkling. “What is new in th : Great World?" i “Nothing much that I know of,” re- ipled Peter. “Isn't your house bigger than it was?" “1 hope so,” replied Jerry. “If { isn’t I have wasted a lot of time and Yougetalargetube i tinursing THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTO! Another Chat on Calories. If you have aetermined, according to the chat on food values last week, that you require a certain number of calories of food a day, the next step is to find out the caloric value of the foods you are eating. We will take, for Instance, the case of a grown woman leading an ordinary active life. She requires 2,500 caiories of food dally to keep her fit. If she weighs more than she should, she has been eating more than this amount, and to reduce she must eat less. Shec | must eat, instead of 2,600, about 1,600 to reduce at the rate of two pounds a week, which is the safest rate. Without knowing anything about calories you will see from this that to reduce you must eat only three-fifths the amount of food you have been accustomed to. But If you wish to be accurate about your diet save thls table of caloric values. The caloric valuo stated,is for an average serv- ing: Meats—Lean beefsteak, 185 calo- {ries; tenderloin, 285; roast beef, 150: |roast chicken, 180:" lamb or mutton chops, 150-300; pork chops, each, 200- 1300; boiled ham, 250; fried ham, 400; ans, 160; string beans, 15; cabbage, ; carrots, 20; cauliflower, 20; canned corn, 100; green corn, one ear, 100; green peas, 100: spinach or squash, 25; Tomatoes, 50. Worrled.—The best way to reduce Is through the natur.il processes, such as dieting and exercise. You may weigh almost anything you wish by regulating the dlet, which s sure to be the healthiest method, even though it Is not the quick way of taking off flesh. If you need information about this, send a stamped addressed en- velope and I will be pleased to mail vou full directions on food values. You should be sure to read the week- ly_chats on reducing in this column.

There are plenty of vitamins in the ordinary American dietary to supply every need of the body. To be sure we have stirred up considerable fuss| about vitamins lately. No dletetic advice is complete without allusion to these newly discovered food acces- sories. No tonic, beverage or pre- masticated food Is up-to-date without some claim of vitamin content. There are plenty of vitamins in the ordinary American dietary, I say. {That fs, a fairly balanced and varied dietary. One thing the average ! American will not endure, unless he {is some kind of crank or the victlm of some plausible food “spectalist, is a restriction of his bill of fare. The greater the variety of foods he | Jcan have at one meal the happier the is—and the healthier, provided he | goes in for variety, but not for quantity. Perhaps certain classes of individ- uals aside from mere food or diet!| |cranks do suffer from an inadequats jamount of vitamins in their diet.

But I don’t care; I'll be ready for it.” With this Jerry dived into the wa- ter and started for more rushes. (Copyright, 1921, by T. W.

Some of the elders may recall when calories were first dragged forth to abash and.confuse mere laymen who ventured to assume exact knowledge of which foods contalned starches and which contained proteins For a time calories kept us doctors one good jump ahead of these dabblers In die- tetics. But alas, calories are common knowledge nowadays! Nearly every one eats ‘em. and many a layman can pronounce them correctly. Nay, there are restaurants where they serve cal- orfes In definite quantities, If you be- lieve all you read in the menu. 8o we just had to invent vitamins. Can vou blame a doctor for wishing to seem to know a little more than the laity? Formerly when the doctor had only to look wise and say nothing o a little hog Latin it was simple enough. It is barely possible the reader i anxlous to know just what vitamine are. So am I. Next time T'll tell all which won't take long. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Canker Sores. Please tell me the cause of canker sores and what can be done to relieve the paln when they appear. (S. A.) Answer.—Focal infections about the testh, gums, tonsils or nasal sinuses seem ' to be responsible, and injury of the delicate mucous membrane lining the mouth by irritants such as highly flavored tooth soaps, tobacco, exces- sively hot foods, and the mechanical injury done by toothpicks and the tooth brush. Touch each spot once daily with a mixture of glycerin and tincture of iodine, equal pai inse the mouth many times a day with a tepid solution of a teaspoonful of boric acid in half pint of boiled water.
