One mother says: If mothers will only remember these few simple rules about foods, children will become more healthy. Carrots and milk will form lime to produce proper bones; lean meat, tomatoes, spinach, raisins, cab- bage and eggs give the blood the right amount of iron, and the phosphorus foods are peas, beans, and fish.

Small tears or ruptures, perhaps of microscopic muscle cells or fibers, a unt for one form of muscle soreness lameness following violent effort. The other cause of soreness is the presence of irritating waste mdlter imperfectly removed through the c culation. It must be clearly under- stood that practically none of this waste matter is removed through the This is important to under- and, because too many people har- lmr an erratic notion that such sore- ness or lameness may be “sweated out” by hot baths of one kind or an- other. The process of “warming up” athletic contest or race is akin to get- ting second wind. It is correctly so called, for it actually brings about an increase of the temperature of the muscles involved. This increase in temperature favors muscle metabol- ism, the oxidation or combustion of blood sugar and the removal of the ash or waste matter, lactic acld and other products of metabolism. Ruptured tendons occur_most fre- quently. in cold weather. When such n accident happens in athletics the victim is most generally a casual or occasional player, and has jumped into the game with cold muscles. He has failed to warm up properly. It is too much to hope that no one will rejoin that what I here describe is, after all, just the thing I so often declare can’t happen, namely, “taking cold.” At that, I should as soon give it that name as any other, if this term were not so indiscriminately ap- plied to all sorts of ills. A warm room, warm weather or warm clothing all help the warming- up process and tend to prevent sore- ness and charleyhorse.

Nancy is in hard luck and she grieves audibly about it. She's just recently become engaged to Ronald and borne him home in triumph to be admired. Ronny’s rather a different type from the usual run of boys she's known. He's older, more sophisticated, intelligent, cultured. He sort of makes the other boys and girls look a bit young and cru Nancy was tickled to death abou this. She thought every one would turn out to admire her prize—not another girl in her set had bagged such a world-beater. Especially, she thought her family would be pleased and_proud. ‘Well, they are pleased in a way. There isn't a thing to be said against Ronny morally or mentally. He has all the qualities of a good husband. Only—well Nancy has to admit it herself—he doesn’t seem to be popular with her crowd or her family. ot one of her friends raved the way she had expected. Not one of them noticed all the superior qualities in_her man. They didn't seem to realize that she'd picked a winner. They seemed to prefer their own silly little college youths. Fretfully Nancy, demands: “Why?" Perfectly simple. Easiest thing in the world to explain. It's only human nature that your crowd shouldn't show too much appreciation of your wonder man. He puts them in the shade, doesn't he? Makes them realize their own shortcomings. Well, that never made anybody popular. Superiority—however genu- ine—annoys smaller people. DIA_you expect your girl friends v when they ng off with something *s really too much to hope for. Girls will be girls. They don't wan you to feel too good. They don’t want to let you know just how en- vious they really are. They’ll rave and shriek when Ella tells them that she's engaged to Tommy, a tried and true member of the “bunch.” They'll congratulate her heartily be- cause they know that th do as well themselves some day soon. But they wouldn’t give you the sa - tion of hearing them praise Ronny. Clues to Character BY J. 0. ABERNETWHY. Sad Thinker and Dreamer. There are persons who never believe in “a good time coming.” They hard- ly think it worth while to commence any project, so certain are they of nen-success. Every business enter- prise is, in their minds, foredoomed to failure. They can see no hope in any- thing. The chap who is melancholy, the sad thinker and dreamer of sad, terrible things, has a nose that turns down- ward. Of course, he may not be a Dante, but he will be prone to give way to gloomy forebodings, not only about his friends, but of himself, and it is almost impossible for him even to see that proverbial silver lining. Slight ailments are magnified as are misfor- tunes. No man could write of the infernal regions with such vividness as Dante and not think and feel melancholy. Thinking, feeling and writing of such things are bound to have an influence on one's features, and it Is most strik- ing in Dante. If you have never seen one, the very next time you visit a muséum hunt up a picture of Dante, author of “In- ferno.” You will see that his nose turns downward—polnts straight to his toes. What do you get from that? The optimistic man, one who radi- ates sunshine, does not have a nose that turns downward. Don't invite for an . the sad thinker, for he will be the death and not the life of the party. » (Copyright. 1926.) e nil¥E Corn and Okra.

Macey, the hotel clerk, merely nodded. He signed the paper and sent the boy on his way. Then in a small private ropm and behind a closed door he followed a routine which was rapidly becoming a part of his life. The stickpin which had previously adorned his tie was now used as a tool of curiosity. Skillfully he in- serted it beneath the pasted flap of the envelope and worked it back and, forth until the gluey substance sur- rendered and the envelope opened and resembled its original appearance. ‘With a nervous hand he removed the message and studied it. It read: _ “Richard J." Bittner, Liberty Ho- tel, New York City: By all means purchase notebook offered at auction sale today. It represents the last two years’ research work of Dr. Sabes- tino.

As far as was able to interp Hochr was willing to pa ce for the notes of the late and famous bone specialist, who, by some ill fortune, had died in such a state of near po erty that his belongings were to b auctioned in order that h might be paid.

The auctioneers having arrived they began expounding facts relative to the great surgeon and h luable possessions. The sale began. Any article would be offered providing some one started the bidding. Bittner moved restlessly. Finally he suggested the notebook and of- fered $50 as a starter. A short, fat man with a ruddy complexion, standing close by, raised to $565. $60. The fat man quickly bellowing a bold “seventy A thin weary man with a professional ap- pearance with a timid voice raised his hand. “I bid seventy-five,” he ventured meekly, seeming uncertain of own judgment. “Eighty!” thundered drowning the other’s bid and turning in an almost aggravateq fashion to | frown at him.

Such is the delectable title of the little yellow and orange flower that beautifies vacant lots and roadside ditches and raflroad embankments. 1t has some other names, such as toad- flax and Ramstead weed. Toadflax is harder to understand. The flax part of it may be in allusion to the some- what flaxlike leaves. As for the “toad,” I have no guesses. Ramstead weed 1is easier. This little plant (bontanically, Linaria vulgaris) was a common little countryside flower and old-fashioned garden plant of Europe. It was brought to this country by a Mr. Ramstead of Philadelphia. Had the plant been content, like most Philadelphians, with the City of Brotherly Love, it would never have | earned the epithet of weed. As it is, it has scattered itself abroad to the four corners of the country. At its worst it is but a very mild weed, indeed. I know people who like it so well that they have dug it up and transplanted it. I think this shows the true flower lover. They know a beautiful flower when they see it, even in a wayside ditch, and do not have to order it from an expen- sive nursery in order to convince themselves that it is lovely. Sometimes the toadflax, which is normally a two-lipped flower, similar to snapdragon, but with a spur, reverts to what may well be some ancestral shape. This condition is known as peloria. In peloria of toad- flax the frregular two-lipped shape gives place to a perfect regular corolla, each petal, instead of only one, having a spur. When this hap- pens in some people’s gardens they think they have bred a new flower and feel chestier than Burbank. But it is the commonest occurrence and was first noted by no less a botanist than the Immortal Linnaeus almost three centuries ago. —_— Anybody can sympathize with a friend’s sufferings but it requires a fine nature to sympathize with a friend’s success Shmple House 7125 Georgia Avenue Floor plugs in every Sample house open and COMPANY Main 3217 REAL ESTATE $650 Cash 108 East Underwood St. Chevy Chase, Md.
