As the horse and rider are mounted on such 2 high pedestal that they extend 65 feet into the air, their true size is not always appreciated. en the Jargest equestrian monument, that of Victor Emmanuel, in Italy, is & few inches higher. The horse on which the general rides is two and a half times its natural size. A man can walk be- tween the legs of the big bronze an- 1 figure of Gen. Grant sits sternly in the saddle. As he looks out from under his straight, broad-brimmed hat, for which he had such a lfking, he appears to be re- viewing his troops. His likeness, made from his life mask and from efully studied photographs, is con ered accurate. The detalls of his uniform and his equipment. even to n of his which has en comne upon, have ed historically correct, not accustomed to carrying his sword when geviewing his troops. On both ends of the spacious platform, which waited 15 years for its monu ment of Grant, there is a colossal MENU FOR A DAY. 03 al, Top Milk. h Cakes, Sauce n Muffi Coffee. Chill LUNCHEON.

The commander, with upraised sword, is shouting his order with violent force, for the horse and rider at his side have fallen and another comrade drops forward in his saddle. The color bearer stoically holds the flag aloft as the bugler at his left put his whole strength into his efforts to press forward and to rally support from the rear by his bugle call. The group breathes the atmosphere of the battlefield and shows the courage and sacrifice of the soldier. On the south end of the platform an_artillery group strives to wheel a field battery through deep mud into an advantageous position. Each horse strains every muscle in its effort to obey the urging commands of the tired-out drivers. One of the men on_horsel turns and calls back to his comrades, as if to cheer them on. The three men on the box have reached the stage of exhaustion where all they can do is to keep their places in their seats between, the two big wheels The whole group holder with the all that bronze mpresses the be- truth that war was herman said it was. The group is a page in history tells the graphic details of warfare. The experience of the artist as an artillery captain en- d him to express the reality and of war in terms of sculpture. Each of the four bronze lions at the corners of the central platform defends an Amerfcan flag symbol- izing the great strength which the United States can use to protect its wational banner and to maintain the “iples of its Government. 8 artist, Henry Merwin Shrader, who designed and modeled the Grant made the $240,000 memorial monument was unveiled. lity and skill of his work, as shown in the plan submitted with oth contestants, so _impressed Augustus Saint Gaudens that they in- fluenced the jury of artists to award the contract for the monument to this sculptor, then almost unknown, but since made famous by this work? The Grant Monument was dedi- cated on the 100th birthday anni- versary of the general, April 27, 1922, 20 vears after Congress passed the act providing for it. (Copyright. 1925.)

Diet for Rickets. There is a good practical reason for thinking about the, disease known as rickets during the coming weeks, for it is known among physiclans as a “seasonal disease.” In other words, there are more cases of rickets in the Autumn and Winter than in Summer. The reason has been definitely estab- lished for only a comparatively ghort tithe, and that reason is this: The rays of the sun, ultra-violet rays! as they are called, in some mysterious manner produce the same effect, as certain foods. The rickets-preventing element is now known to be present in the sun's rays. Children suffering from rickets are first of all given sun baths, the bare skin being exposed directly to the sun for a short time at first, the period to be increased gradually, un- der the physiclan’s guidance. It should be remembered that the ultra-violet rays lose their curative properties if they are allowed to filter. through ordinary window glass. The treatment must be carried on’ by means of first-hand contact. The first article of diet on the rickety child’s bill of fare, then, is sunshine. One can easily picture our foremothers’ smiles of derision at “such hifalutin’ notions.” In fact, they might even have ejaculated “Moonshine!” But the moon has no such gifts to offer mortals as has Old Sol! The next most important item is the first of the vitamins, the one common- ly known as “fat soluble A.” This may be obtained in milk, cod liver ofl, spinach, egg yolk, butter, liver and kidneys. When planning the dlets fér chil- dren, care must be taken to prepare the food in very digestible form. For example, liver and kidneys, while good food for older persons, are too hearty for voung children. They should be given their anti-rachitic vitamin in the form of mlilk, of egg yolk, cod liver ofl and strained spinach. i Third on the diet list we find ‘the mineral salts, particularly phosphorus. The list of phosphorus-containing foods includes whole wheat bread, lean beef, barley, farina, raisins, peas, figs, prunes, rice, cheese, cornmeal and several other items. Beef served to young children should be first scraped and then made into tiny cakes and broiled over a quick fire. Not more than two tablespoonfuls should be given to youngsters under the school age. The very best possible dlet for rickets is a preventive one. Children who have a normal mixed diet, in- cluding milk, butter, cereals, bread (white or brown), leafy vegetables, oranges and other suitable fruits, will rarely have rickets, provided they get plenty of sunshine besides. Isn't it easier and pleasanter for both child and mother, to see to it that the child gets his sunshine while frisking around on roller skates or scooters and romping in the school yard, instead of waiting until the dis case Is established? In the latter case he must have the annoyance of especially planned sun baths, and even these will lack the health-promoting element of play in a sunshiny place. If it is a question of paying a few extra dollars’ rent for a sunshiny flat or house, add these dollars to your food allowance. They will be “well spent, even if one or two somewhat worn Winter coats must be made to do duty for another season, in order to save the added rent. I cod liver oil is to be used for a baby at least 6 months old, the dose is onehalf to one teaspoonful dally. Younger bables are not to have the ofl unless on direct order from the phy- sician. Like sunlight, cod liver ofl is to be ranked as a food, not as & medicine.

In spite of the current superstition that Friday s an unlucky day, the planetary aspects of tomorrow are very favorable, and the omens are encouraging, mnot only for success, but for happiness. It is a propitious occasion for travel, change or for mar- riage. It also promises to accelerate your perceptions and to sharpen your judgments. All commerclal _enter- prises that start tomorrow can be rea- sonably expected to be crowned wifh success. All changes in connection with the home and family will be, ac- cording to the indications, beneficial to all concerned. Risk and speculation must, however, be avoided, unless dis- aster 1s courted. Those who wed under the auspices of tomorrow are prom- ised lives of happiness and content ment. Children born tomorrow are des- tined, according to the signs, to en- joy good health during their infancy. In their teens, however, much care and vigilance will be needed, if they are to attain a normally physical m: Jority. Their disposition and cha acter will be erratic. At times they will, by their conduct, charm and at- tract, and lead every one to £uppose that their actions are animated only by love, kindness and gentleness. At other times they will show a tend- ency to be cruel, selfish and self- centered. They will prove to be studious and ambitious, althopgh, on occasion, they will show apathy and indifference. ~These contrary moods will not, however, last long, and, on the whole, they seem assured of suc- cess. If tomorrow is your birthday you possess a great deal of initlative, and are both original and aggressive Your persistency is very marked, and you are never disposed to take “no” for an answer. In your anxlety to attain what you may have in view, you are never discouraged, nor do you allow disappointment to weigh You down. On the contrary, reverses and comparative failure serve only to make you redouble your efforts. ~ You have a marked personalily, and are undoubtedly endowed With the attributes of a leader—both com- mercially and socially. There is no task that you attempt or undertake that does not feel the impression of vour endeavor, and you can never do anything in the expected or conven- tional way. You are humorous and affable, an omnivorous reader, a very careful student and a lucid thinker. Nothing, sickness, can ever deter Yo from achieving -success, if you only bend vour efforts to work of construc- tion and individuality. Well known persons born on that date are: BEdwin Booth, tragedian; Peter A. B. Widener, capitalist; Al fred M. Mayer, physicist: George W. Chadwick, composer; ~John Drew, actor; Thomas W.

Measure a cupful of flour in a mixing bowl and add two-thirds of a cupful of water, stirring to prevent lumping. Add the codfish. Beat whites of three eggs stiff and mix up the yolks of two. Fold into the fish mixture and add a half teaspoonful melted butter. Have ready dish of bolling fat and drop this batter into fat in small tablespoons. When the balls are browned drain on paper and serve with white or tomato sauce. Shirred Eggs The nicest way to make shirred eggs for Friday’s breakfast is to cook them in individual baking dishes. But ter the dishes and in each one break a fresh egg with unbroken yolk. ,Add a tiny bit of butter and set the dishes in a shallow dish of boiling water and let them cook in the oven for about 10 minutes or until the eggs are set, but not hard.

Lay out on your dressing table a long, flex ible steel file, an orange wood stick, a pointed file or a cuticle knife, cuticle scissors, a little cold cream or vase line, an emery board and a bottle of lemon juice or some other good nail bleach.” Roll a wisp of cotton around the orange wood stick. Now quickly file your nails to a nice point, not too sharp or too long. Hold one hand in the bowl of warm water until the cuticle around the nails has softened, about three minutes. Dry, dip the orange wood stick in the lem on juice, go under and around each nall, working back the s Wash this off in the water, clip off with the scissors any bits of skin around the nails their corners. Use the emery board to give a smooth finish. The steel file never wears the nail off clean, so the emery board must al ish the job.
