WOMA Comfort Is Now N’S PAGx. Sought in Shoes BY MARY MARSHALL. Women's shoes have not become any more sensible. but' the women Whe wear them have.

The mincing little step that betokened tight shoex has gone en- tirely out of fashion. Very short akirts make it practically impossible for a girl to hide this mincing step assumed to soften the agony of walk- ing in tight shoes, The fact is that women wear larger ghoes and they are more insistent on having shoes that suit their feet. They have learned that a different Jast i needed for the woman with Jong toes, with short toes, high in- step, small heels, etc., and thnl"lhel'n EM- PINK | are smart, dainty shoes for all types of foot not positively deformed. Shoe dealers tell you that American women’s feet are getting larger. Prob: | ably there is very little change in | actual size, only the girls and women of today are willing, even eager, to have their shoes large enough to | make sure of perfect comfort. ~And. of course, the foot looks smaller in a shoe that fits than in one that pinches and gives the foot a bulging contour. Silver and gold and metallic bro- | cade are still in good fashion, but newer than these and truly charming are the shoes made from iridescent leather or kid. It is of a whitish cast that gives reflections of blue, pink and other soft tints. Heels still carry |'much of the trimming and jeweled | heels are no longer a cause for com- | ment.

EAT AND BE HEALTHY Dinah Day’s Da Talks on Diet The Right Food Is the Best Medicine Growing Children, Boils, Food. “Why be solicitous as to what you wear and as to what you eat and Arink?" ask the divines, urging their fiocks to a spiritual awakening. Rut If you do not eat and drink properly you can't be so spiritual minded. A boil has a terrible way of chaining your mind to your body. Perhaps Job, of the Bible account, | needed to watch his diet. He was probably much undernourished. And mawbe that's why his boils staved with him for seven years. @&asv infection means low vitality A hoil, contrary to the old idea of too rich blood, means deficient blood— and generally a diet containing too much starch and sugar. Jim Brown cats freely of candi pastry, ice cream and all sorts of starchy foods. If a small boil ap- pears he applies some local remedy. suffers and goes on eating starches and sweets. If the boil is ver vere the victim goes to a doctor. And the doctor gives him a list of forbid- den food: ““No sugars—no starches.” Skilled doctors look upon boils and | carbuncles as a diabetic warning and make a test to find out the sugar con- tent of the patient’s urine. Folls are spread by infection and even a small one which is not severe enough to lay the victim up had bet- ter be dressed by a competent doc- tor, who will use sterilized bandages. Two may grow where one was before unless careful dressing and careful diet are used on the first boil. Sometimes Lovs and girls of the adolescent age are troubled with a meries of boile, *The poor youngsters se- | | should not be allowed to suffer until “boils have run their course.” under the idea that such a state of things {can't be helped. The demands of ;&rowing have eaten the voungster: | strength. They need a tonic. They need the advice of a thoroughly com petent physician. They need nourish- ing food suited to help nature get rid of the boils. R. D.—T have dinner in early after- noon and go to bed 1wther late and cannot sleep unless T eat sometHing hefore retiring. But 1 am told eat- ing befare hedtime is bad. Answer— is quite true that an empty stom- ach may cause sleeplessness. There is no harm in a light meal before going to bed. Try a cup of broth, a glass of warm milk, a cup of cocoa or a little weak tea combined with a biscuit or piece of toast. Workman—I have had trouble with | my stomach lately. Am in good health. but almost every week I get stomach. 1 eat cold lunch @aily at noon, which I bring from home. Would a hot lunch be better? Answer—A® vou sign your- self “Workman,” 1 assume that vou do mechanical work of some sort and then eat your lunch from a basket or parcel which you bring from home. 1 often see workmen eating lunch at noon without having carefully cleansed their hands. You cannot ex- pect to handle the food you bring for lunch with unwashed hands and escape occasional infection. Try thoroughly cleansing the hands be- fore you eat. That ix more likely to he the cause of vour trouble than the cold lunch. | palns in my PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE BY WILLIAM Bigger and Better. Even a doctor can't bury his mis- takes when he makes 'em in print. It_behooves me as much as it em- barrasses me to acknowledge two mis- takes I have made in my teachings, but I never hesitate to pounce upon and false teaching committed by other health authorities and so it is only fair to admit that I have made mistakes. The first mistake I now acknowl- edge was the idea 1 endeavored to . promulgate that' it is reprehensible for a woman or girl to have her hair cut. When this fad or fashion came along T confess I took a veritable old- fogy view of it and said everything | 1 could to make the cutting or bob. bing of a woman's hair seem mutila- tory and dapraved. ow that was wrong: It was an unreasonable atti- tude and a narrow point of view. 1 regret now that I made this mistake. I fear it has impaired the confidence of some readers in my teachings and advice. Although I still hate to see a wom- an’s hair cut off or bobbed—that is, if she has nice hair to begin with— there is, of course, no harm whatever in a woman or girl having her hair | cut, bobbed or shingled as she pre- fers. It never makes the hair grow better or thicker to clip it, but on the other hand it never stops or dimin- ishes the growth of the hair. The other mistake I wish to ac. knowledge was the utterance of an opinion against the playing of public basket ball contests by schoolgirls. In reply to a query about that I strongly disapproved of such tests, although I approved of basket ball as a game for girls, and T in- timated that public contests of that sort tended to make the girl players, a little too forward. to rob.them of their proper feminine modesty or re atraint. That was another bit of down- right old-fogyism on my part, as | reslized when some fine girls who happen to play on their school hasket ball team asked me why they shouldn't do 0, I attempted then or - con- | BRADY, M. D. | thereafter to analyze the reasons why |1 had played the old maid on that question, and I could trump up no sound reason at all. The best I could of some deplorable escapade which had happened while schoolgirls were away on a basket ball tour. But no doubt these things would have hap- pened if the girls had been playing checkers or singing in a cantata. I just made a_mistake and I now offer an_apology for it. The mother of two grown-up daugh- ters, both of whom sacrificed their beautiful hair to the fad some time #go, shed tears over the thing when the girls decided on it, and finally succumbed and had her own hair hobbed. She declares she decided on it not for style but merely for the convenience and comfort of short hair. But she makes the point that | girls and women will never return to long trailing skirts, long troublesome ihair or stiff. uncomfortable corsets, now that they have learned they can | dispense with such things. And who except a veritable old fogy could wish they would? Certainly no one who has the health of the mothers of the race at heart could wish for a return to_the old fashions. Records of the measurements of col- )-lexe women over a long period of yvears indicate that women are bigger, { taller, heavier, stronger today than jever before. They are better fitted for motherhood. They are more | capable in everything they undertake, physically superior, mentally inde. pendent and morally better than the women of any other age in history. | (Covsright, 1926.)

Your Baby and Mine | RY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. When a baby of 7 months begins| new foods it is possible that there may be some trouble unless the fol lowing warnings are kept in mind. New foods, especially vegetables and fruits, are laxative in tendency, and if | the child is given a full feeding of any | vegetable, there is bound to be un-| usual bowel activity i All vegetables should be sieved so finely that there cannot possibly be| large chunks. This is the first essen- | tial. Vegetables contain indigestible cellulose, this very properly being re- sponsible for their ability to stimulate bowel action. But babies have diffi culty with this element, and it is better to put all vegetables through a fine wire sieve. o that the cellulose will be strained out. Just mashing a vegetable does not do this, and so| when mothers I mash the! baby's vegelable before giving it to| him.” they are under the impression | that by m. shing it they have made it | easfer for him to eat and digest. The | first is true, but not the second. | All strange foods, even orange juice, | should be started in teaspoonful | ameunts. Never try to feed a child a regulation sized feeding of any new thing. Try a spoonful of cereal, {or vegetable, one day. The next day try it again. By the third or fourth day one. can give one and one-half teaspoonfuls at a feeding, and so on, increasing cautiously until the child is eating enough of this particular | food at a meal to nourish him. which {in the case. of either cereals or vege- tables is usually about four or'five i | | | 1 | tablespoonfuls for a baby of a year or | more. | "1t the bowels show unusual activity | when larger amounts ave fed, stop| | the new food altogether for a day or| iso, and then begin it again as care- | fully as one did the first time. , Very few foods will cause any real trouble if the mother observes these rules and does not rush into feeding a new food. Whenever a child is { badly upset one can be almost sure that no such precautions have been taken. Kidney Omelet. Skin three sheep's kidneys, cut them in thin slices, season with salt and pepper, fry with one tablespoonful of butter, add one chopped onion, one tablespoonful of thick brown sauce and keep hot. Beat up five eggs to- zether with two tablespoonfuls of milk and‘season with salt and pepper, Melt one tablespoonful of butter in an omelet pan, pour in the egg mixture, and stir over the fire until it begins to set, then put in the cooked kidneys and fold in the ends of the omelet Brown in the oven. Slip the omelet onto a hot dish, pour hot tomato or brown sauce around the base of the dish and serve at once. | ean type of table, in dull brown ma | hogany, Sealed Tight "SALADA" TEA Alwpys in Aluminum Packets The Daily Cross-Word Puzzle (Copyright, 1926.) .

As the world is round, the point where West meets East. and where one day begins and another ends could arbitrarily be agreed upon as existing anywhere along some line between the poles. The degree of longitude 0° in Kurope having been arbitrarily agreed upon, the longitude 180° on the opposite side of the earth is the point where an earth day ends and begins. This lies in fnid-Pacific, and when one travels to Japan from America and crosses this line, one instantly gains a day, no matter what o'clock it {s. On this side of the line it may be April 30, but on the other it is May 1. Coming back, you lose a day out of your life. You pass from May 1. back into April 30. Now what do you know about that? Answers to Yesterday’s Questions. 1. Death Valley and the Salton Sea are below sea level. 2. The Dead Sea is below sea level. 3. Mount Whitney, California, is + the highest point above sea level in the United States; it is only 60 miles from Death Valley, the lowest point in the country. 4.
