WOAMAN'S Dessert is the name given in Amer- lca Lo the course at which something sweet is served near the finish of a dinner. In Europe such a course is A STEAMING HOT DESSERT SOME: ’I‘XL:\I%:S COMPLETES A MENU BEST. called after the sort of food that is served, namely, sweets. Since fruit follows this course, that is called des- sert by our neighbors across the sea, while we call this merely fruit. But whether we call the course dessert or sweets, there is no country that serves # better variety than does the United States. The dishes may be hot or cold. Which is preferable depends not only on the season of the year, as, for in- stance, hot desserts in Winter and cold in Summer, but upon the sort of courses that have gone hefore. Temperature Values. When the dinner has consisted of a hot soup, hot meat and hot vegetabl # cold dessert provides more variety than does & hot one. On the other hand, when the soup has been omitted, or when cold meat has been served as the main dish, then a hot dessert is particularly felicitous. If the three- course meal consists of the main course, a salad and a dessert, then a hot dessert is as welcome as a cold one, since it follows & coid course. If a fruit cup is served in place of the soup, making the meal start with a cold course and not a hot one, then a How Desserts May Offer Variety BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. PAGE. will follow a hot one. Let temperature add its element to provide variety to meals. Balancing the Meal. Hot desserts are, as a rule, heartier than cold ones, so this point must be well considered when planning menus. If a dinner is substantial, the final course of the three may well be light. If, on the other hand. the meal is light @ substantial dessert will add the right balance to the meal. Accent Contrast. A dessert should be as different as possible to anything that has come before it. For example, let us suppose that vou have had apple sauce to go vith the meat course of roast pork or goose. Then avoid any dish with ap- ples in it for dessert, such asapple ple, brown Betty, apple taploca, ete. Or if you have served rice as a vegetable do not serve it in another guise for dessert, nor anything resembling it in any way, such as tapioca. If you have had dates in the salad do not allow this fruit to appear in any guise for dessert. Tt is a well recognized fact today that a varied diet is conducive to good health. There is an opportunity to have this varfety accented by making lesserts, whether hot or cold, in de- cided contrast to the rest of the meal. MENU FOR A DAY.

Every one requires a little iodin, just how little it is not yet possible to specify, but roughly a minimum of & grain a month, according to the hest students of the subject. just to keep well and fit to fight—fit to fight anything from the willies to strepto coccicosis or yvour in-laws if necessary. 'There is approximately a grain of fodin in 10 drops of tincture of fodin, %0 even though you are badly in need of ijodin and, therefore, somewhat stupid in calculating, you can see that the habit or practice of taking a drop or two of tincture of fodin once a. week xives just about the right ration, pro- vided there is no iodin in the food, water or salt you use. Of course, if you are getting some iodin in your food, water or salt, vou should go easy with the iodin bottle, unless vour «octor advises you to take a nip every so often anvhow. Some sick people need jodin as medicine. We consider here only the use of iodin as a food. T have had ample reason to regret the publication in this column quite a while ago of n recipe or formula for an fodin solution for medicinal use. It was a formula given by a Dr. Quinby, and when I printed it here I offered with it, free of charge, a fine assortment of symptoms, such as that tired feeling, staleness, premature I live my life with self- respect, Take credit for my lveky chances, And wl\‘;r\ 1 fail 1 simm; say I Lk:n it all on circumstances. et PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE BRADY, M. D. graying of the hair, cold feet, inability to keep warm, poor circulation, the willies, and all that—you know, the very symptoms we all have or can | readily adopt when we get to ponder- ing the problem of staying voung. I still think Dr. Quinby’'s iodin recipe was a good one, and that it will do no harm in case one feels a little stale, run down, unduly weary and just a bit gray occasfonally. But, after all, that is medicine, and when it comes to the medicinal use of fodin, ask your physician. My province {s strictly health, and, despite such lapses, I in- tend to stick to it. I confess I com- mitted an error in heralding the Quinby recipe to the public. ‘I found the svmptoms Dr. Quinby provided with his recipe so attractive and di- verting that I just felt certain they would please everybody else as well as they had pleased me, and so I passed ‘em along. I apologize for that mistake. I meant well—had a vague notion the iodin solution would relieve a lot of my readers of what- ever ailed them. But I did wrongly and I am sorry and ashamed of such a lapse. Contrition for that mistake deters me from carryving out a plan I had concelved to set down here the—as I now fear—very intriguing signs of iodin shortage in the body, or, in other words, sketches of fodin defi- ciency disorders. But, as it happens, every one knows the classical sign of jodin shortage—simple or endemic goiter in young persons. It seems only fair to add to this popular knowledge an idea of the effect of fodin deficiency In grownups. An actual jodin shortage in the case of 2 child is pretty certain to give rise to goiter, but if the shortage does not occur until after adult age and growth are attained, then there is fari less likelihood of the development of golter, but rather general manifes. tations of a diminished thyrotd func- tion, a state which doctors call hypo- :hn;oidi:nm (hypo meaning below or ess).

He had made up his mind that he would shoot Puma the first chance he got, and he hoped he would soon get a chance. | He tried to make himself believe that he wanted to shoot Puma so as to protect Lightfoot and the other people of the Green Forest, but right down inside he knew that this wasn't | wholly true.

Lightfoot the Deer and his famil; could ieave their yard and move about freely, so Farmer Brown's Boy no longer worried about them.

In business the habit of putting rourself in the spotlight is sometimes a useful one. The go-getter, the hustling, self-con- fident, business man or woman often accomplishes a good deal. But it's a | fatal mistake to try to carry that “pushing” act into social life. | Of all generally avoided pests the pusher is the worst. You know the | type. Doubtless vou've met it often. Florence is a regular pusher from | start to finish. She wanted to get in with Jean'’s crowd, but since Jean didn't appear aware of her existence. she determined to take matters into | her own hands. | Meating one of Jean's friends, Gail, | at a tea one day, she exclaimed. rap: turously: “Oh, my dear, I've been so anxious to meet vou. You're such u | dear friend of Jean's and I'm so fond | of her.” Gail was surprised, but she accepted Florence’s attentions in good enough Florence blithely went her way, call- ing Gail up every other day and in- forming the world that she was a per- manent member of Jean's set. She might easily have made 'the grade if she hadn't pushed herself into | the circle aspired to. . Kunice is another type of pusher. She feels she has.genuine ability in dancing and singing—that it would be a darn shame if the rest of the world were deprived of the chance to see her talent displayed. So one day, when she and a group of friends were planning a party, she announced, calmly: ‘About the mid- dle of the evening I'll do some enter- taining—a dance and one or two Songs, vou know."’ ivery one looked faintly surprised. ! Eunice had done nothing wrong. but | somehow it rubbed the wrong way— her unsought-for offer to display her talents, Nothing is more delightful than the girl who doesn’t have to be coaxed to | entertain others, i But it'’s much safer to wait till | you're asked to entertain than to take | it for granted that everybody is just | dying to see you perform. And in the same way, it is much better to wait for a friendship to form naturally than to attempt to hurry it | by flattery and insistent invitations. | | ‘The littie pusher very seldom accom- | plishes what she sets out to do. Very | often she defeats her own object—re- ‘es a thorough snubbing where she | had hoped to gain friendship. | Let others put you in the spotlight.
