The wearing of the least possible underthings is no longer a fad of the flappers—it 1s a fashionable necessity. The straight line sil- houette has been displaced by the silhouette that follows bodily con- tours. There is nothing classic or Greek about this new clinging sil- houette, yet never before since clas- sic. times have civilized women's clothes showed so little false pro- portioning. There is the same necessity at present as there has been for sev- eral seasons for every woman to be as free from surplus pounds as pos- sible. A reaction has set in, it seems, against the girl who is too angular. Every woman nowadays must have a set of scales in her own -bathroom so that she can watch her weight from day to day and regulate her dlet accordingly. Ten ounces over- welght this morning shou'd mean no dessert for luncheon or dinner. A half pound below weight means an extra roll at breakfast. And this dafly regulation of welght does as much to aid good health as it does to contribute toward good style. - My Neighbor Say: In order to keep silver that i3 not in constant use in a good condition, fill a paper with al- ternate layers of forks, spoons and other objects and common flour that is perfectly dry. If the silver is bright and dry when you put it away it may be used at any time without being cleaned for a year or two, After this time the flour needs drying again. This plan saves a great deal of cleaning. When bolling a cabbage or a cauliflower, tie up a crust of bread in a muslin bag and place it in the saucepan. This will prevent the smell from pervad- ing the house. Clean white kid slippers with any mild soap and sprinkle them with talcum powder. When dry, rub off with a soft cloth. This makes them retain that new look. Face cloths made of three thicknesses of white mosquito netting are very satisfactory. They keep white, dry quickiy and are especially good when traveling. A few drops of -turpentine added to the rinsing water when washing white silk hose, under- wear, skirts, etc., prevents them from’ turning yellow. To clean fur collars and cuffs, rub them thoroughly with corn- meal soaked in gasoline. Dinah Day’s Daily Talks on Diet The Right Food Is Skim Milk. “That skim milk is only fit for Togs; can you imagine anybody using that worthless stuff.” comments the unknowing one. There is so much talk about “good rich milk” that skim milk is rather generally classed with adulterated milk. This {s not the truth. Adulterated or impure whole milk or skim r is a menas So is impure cream. But cleanly handled skim millk has its use as a healthy food Skim milk has food value. The fat 18 in the cream;and taking that away from the whole milk removes part of the nourishment and possibly the greater part of the vitamin A content. However, the remining skim milk retains the mineral salts—that is, the calcium, phosphorus, etc. Vitamin B is still present and even vitamin A is not_completely lost Since the fat has been removed, the percentage of protein in 100 calories | of skim milk is 9.2. The protein of whole milk is 4.75. The table proves that the protein content of skim milk scores. It also has a carbohydrate content one-tenth of a point greater than the whole milk. These facts show that skim milk has considerable food value. Of ocourse, it has not the growth-promot- ing power of fresh whole milk, and for this reason cannot take its place. It cannot be used as a substitute for whole milk in the.diet of children Skim milk may be used as an added Bource of lime by employing it in WHEN WE G the Best Medicine cooking. Custards. soups, and sauces can be made of skim milk. For people wishing to reduce, skim milk is valuable, as it Is not fattening. The fat has gone with the cream. Skim milk retains the mineral salts and the protein. Freshly made cot- tage chese, whieh is made from skim milk, is more wholesome and more | nutritious than meat fat content, the heav use it. Lime is absolutely every one's diet. Milk is the great food source of calclum or lime. It is an interesting fact that nine ounces of skimmed milk—a very little more than a glass—supplies as much cal- cium or bone-building material as a dozen eggs. Giving all the skim milk to the farm | animals, because it is not considered {fit for man, 1s going on a belief that food investigators have shown_to be wrong. Some artificlal buttermilks are | soured skimmed milk, and have the same Ifme content as skimmed milk. Thay might be more palatable to than a drink of unfermented sweet milk. Because skimmed milk is a mood source of protein and mineral salts, Mr. amd Mrs. Overfat can use it as a valuable addition to the dfet. The point should again be empha- |slzed that skim milk is not a substi- tute for whole milk. But skimmed milk is far from valueless.

ALLEN. “I Want a Skirt for My Wall.” Imagine the astonishment of many & storekeeper if you walked in and sald, “I want a skirt for my wall, if you please.” That is, he would be #stonished were he not familiar with the fact that skirts, of a certain kind, @re being _used as decorations for walls. Skirts from the Balkans or Scandi- pavia are usually very full, almost three yards around. There are peas- ant garments, too, from Brittany and Normany which are prized because of their cheerful flower-covered French rints. Skirts from Sweden and other candinavian countries are often elaborate affairs of silk. The finest are skirts which once were part of some lady’s court attire. You will be indeed lucky if you can find a pink silk court skirt, with lines of quilting suggesting oak leaves. Most of these date back to the elghteenth century, but they have in- spired simpler ones of cotton and wool which are still Worn by country people in Evrope. You may find some which are heavily embroidered along the bottom and divided into two pieces which are joined at the top. What was once a skirt may be used as a table cover or a wall decoration.

The girls who are brought up in unhappy homes are much to be pitied. Not only do they have a bad time all the while they're living at home but the effects of that environ- ment don’t wear off for years, some- times. Perhaps there isn’t so much danger in the family where the mother is a fault-finding, nagging tyrant who makes the lives of her children and husband perfect misery. The daughter who grows up in that kind of an atmosphere may go out into the world with the fixed deter- mination to make some one a better wife than her mother was. She may resolve that, having seen the ship- wreck her mother made of love by becoming a whining scold, she her- self will not make that mistake. | | Her mother's unreasonable tempers and irritations may teach the daugh- ter a strong lesson. But it's rather worse when a father is the domesatic tyrant. The father who bullies and neglects his wife leaves an impression on his daughter which will never wear off. No matter how broad-minded she may be, the bitterness creeps into her heart against all men. She resolves flercely that never will any man make her slave and toil as her mother does. She goes into marriage with a chip on her shoulder, so to speak—loving her husband, but determined that he's not going to become a new edition of her father. And so, perhaps, she's handicapped from the start—always fearing a change in the husband who seems so ideal now, end yet who may grow to be the intolerable person her father was. It 1s such a pity that you girls should let one unsuccessful marriage make another. It is such a pity that you can't trust the man you're going to marry. You must erase the bitter thought and memories of your father—of the unhappiness he caused your mother. You must realize that your husband isn’t to blame for the faults of an- other man. And you must also realize that your father was an exception to the’ general rule. In spite of everything the cynics say, there are thousands of success- ful marrlages which are carefully kept out of the newspapers. There are thousands of good hus- bands in the world—particularly in this country. Don’t let the shadow of the past darken what should be a bright and happy future. Don't be afraid to marry for fear of a repetition of your mother's sad experience. Have confidence in the man you're going to marry, if he's worthy of it. Resolve to make yours a happy marriage, no matter how unhappy that of your parents was. (Copyright. 1926.)

Hot days, clear shafts of relentless Summer sunlight and cannas blazing in a formal bed in the middle of a lawn—such was a Victorian idea of & beautiful plece of landscape gar- dening for the suburbs. Taste has drifted away from that style now, but the canna still finds a very legiti- mate use in public parks where a brilliant spot of color that can be seen in a long vista is needed. After overcoming an original dis- taste for cannas, I have veered around to enjoying their tropic splendor very much. Once, as a kind friend motored me at high speed through a ravishing bit of tropical Jungle, T got a glimpse of a canna in its wild state—a garden of great gold petals in the lush green of a forest at the tip of Florida. I had no opportunity to get out and take a closer look. But I could see that in the place where God intended cannas to grow they are lovely things. Since then I have felt more tol- erant toward northern canna beds. And because cannas are the only rep- resentatives of a’ tropleal family which we ordinarily see in our clime I have made the most of the oppor- tunity to examine canna flowers. Evolution has played strange tunes on the floral structure of the canna, for its stamens have become precise- 1y like petals, and these, added to the three true petals and the three sepals that horticulture has bred to look like petals, give the flowers thelr strangely elaborate form, like the many layers of frilled petticoats that women used to wear. s Mustard Pickles.

They occupy the outposts of civiliza- tlon where they first sight dangers ahead. They are also canscious that not a few popular notions are de. ceitful as sin and will betray democ- racy at a crisis. Further, they are convinced of a serious decay today in thinking, in religlon, in morals, and especially in politics. Compare the fifties and sixties of heen crowded to the rear in America and elsewhere by scientific and eco- nomic ideas. This change places popular gov- ernment at a disadvantage which may not always he remedied by those strong executives with which many democratized nations have hitherto been favored. When the general in- difference to politics is aggravated by weak or corrupt administration, public calamity is feared. { Rochester, N. Y. 1 have heard it stated that Shake- speare was an agnostic. Is this true? Answer—Experts in every line of life and thought assert that he be- longed to their particular cuit.

Their explanation, like that of hun- dreds of other works on the drama- tist, 1s found in the universality of his genius. He encompassed heaven and earth in the sweep of his imagi- nation. Certainly he was not an ag- nostic, except in the sense that he vividly realized the limitations of human knowledge. Does not Holy Parking With Peggy big as a nutmeg for each gallon.

Cleveland, Ohio Is not the real need of the world today met by Christ's invitation, Come unto Me, all ye that are weary and neavy laden?

Nor is there any authority rized or revised versions Testament for the word y.” What He did sa; “Come unto me all ye that labor.” . . . A modern’ philosopher recently re- marked that “spiritualized beings are more frequent among simpletons than among talented men.” “This very fact,” he continued, “is at the bottom of the truth which’ makes Christians declare as blessed the weary and laden, as opposed to happler informed Christians never declared the weary blessed, nor did Christ pronounce any beatitude upon them. Probably every work-shy dreamer wishes He had done so. But He dld not—a fact which philoso- phers who are ignorant of the New Testament ignore. The original word He used demon- strates that our Lord invited faith- ful and tofling laborers to Him, and not the merely weary ones. He was anxious to rally to His standard the farmers, fishermen, reapers, herds- men and tent makers. He appealed to those disciples who spent themselves without stint to advance His King- dom. Such valiant veterans as these are always at it and hard at it. They need fresh vigor and inspiration. To them Jesus gives His rest. And this is the actual significance of these oft- misquoted words of succor and en- couragement. Washihgton, D. C. Does not Europe show signs of so- clal and political reaction which may affect our American life? Answer—Yes. There are at present seven dictators there and two-thirds of Europe's population is ruled by them. Mussolini insists that the larger freedom cannot come by way of de- mocracy. We are equally certain that, however labored its progres, it can come by no other way. A benevolent despotism may insure better government for the time being, but it would ultimately destroy in- dividual liberty. I do not doubt that presently Europe's political pendulum will swing in the other direction, but just now it is too near absolutism for comfort or safety. Meanwhile Europe cannot be left by us to stew in her own juice. We depend upon her natfons for our mar- kets. We imbibe from them ideas which have explosive or quleting qualities. When the human race de- clines in its historic haunts it will decline elsewhere. Homogeneity of thought and aim rather than of blood is the real bond of civilization and of the fellowship of states.

Drifts With the Tide. There are many varieties of eye brows. The brows of one person would not harmonize with the fea- tures of another, for observation will show that the brow is quite as indi- vidual as any other facial feature. When you see a man or a woman with eyebrows set high upon the head and also well arched, do not expect that person to make a success as an investigator or as a critic. This type drifts along with the tide of life, and rarely, if ever, takes the time to look up things. He accepts statements as they are made to him. As high, arched brows are not in- dicative of great concentration, it is a safe prediction that the subject will not be noted for originality, reasoning power or a critical mind. Although high eyebrows are found on persons who have excellent mem- orizing power there is a lack of con- centrative effort. They learn by note, but when swerved from the text are hopelessly lost. They manifest little initiative and are not good planners. Carrying out schemes lald by others is the method they like best. Those who think and act outside of the conventional groove, those who are given to discovery, creation of original theories and methods in art, science and philosophy, have brows which seem close to the eye and the hairs are disorderly, particularily at the ends.

PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE BY WILLIAM No Use Having Bad Tonsils. A woman aged 37 has suffered with attacks of quinsy since she was 16, at least one attack each year, some- times two. At the age of 32 she had her tonsils removed. Still she has quinsy. She says she has conulted many doctors in the attempt to pre- vent attacks; her throat has been lanced repeatedly, but with relief only a few times. The attacks are not so severe gince the tonsils were removed, but they still last a few days. Quinsy is abscess, a ‘“‘gathering” in the tissues of the throat near or around the tonsil. Like a collection of pus (matter) anywhere else, the sooner it is drained the better. “‘Lanc- ing” sometimes fails to give any re- llef because the doctor fails to find the abscess. 1 have never had quins but from the great suffering whi attends the attack I judge I should prefer to have my throat lanced again and again rather than endure such prolonged suffering as the vie- tim of this disease must endure if he walits for the abscess to “break.” Lancing is no fun—that is, for the subject; for that matter, it isn't a task the doctor revels in, eith Yet I can think of no other medical or surgical service a doctor can render | which gives so much relief as this— as a rule. In many instances the removal of the tonsils does put an end to the annual bout with quinsy. The nest or depot of the infectlon. the flaring up of which brings on the attack of | quinsy, is probably within the tonsil | in most cases. Complete removal of the infected tonsil, therefore, ends the | trouble. | A man aged 21 says his tonsils have | been infected for over five months | and asks whether operation is the | only cure. He has “been told” by | several friends that it is dangerous | to have tonsils removed, because the | tonsils absorb pofsons in certain dis- eases, such as diphtheria. Normal tonsils probably serve some such function in childhood, at any rate. The lymphoid cells they give off have some phagocytic ac- tion—they tend to destroy disease germs in the throat and mouth. Per- haps the crypts or openings in the tonsils receive disease germs and the tonsil cells destroy the germs there, the detritus being extruded from the crypts into the throat and mouth. But all this is conditional upon a normal state. When the tonsils are infected or diseased they are dan- gerous to keep in the throat, and the sooner they are removed the better for the individual's health. A correspondent of indeterminate gender says-the nose and throat spe- clalists in a capital cf have crowded offices all day—patients seeking removal of tonsils, adenoids, bones, growths, etc., and does this seem natural or as the Creator in- BRADY, M. D. bad climate and so on? It isn't nor- mal, not according to Hoyle, but Hoyle may be out of date. A physiclan deplores the tremen: dous number of unnecessary opera tions performed today. particularly for the removal of tonsils “on a bet’ —the bet being that the tonsils har bor the focus of infection responsible for joint disease and other systemic troubles. Readers frequently inquire about “electric” treatment in leu of surgi- cal removal of diseased tonsils. Al T can say about that s that if my tonsils were concerned there should be no “electric” treatment. Nowadaye there is a considerable demand for X-ray treatment of simply enlarged tonsils—the thicken- ing of the tomsils which commonly accompanies adenoids in children. For this conditon X-ray treatment is often | suffictent; it brings about an atrophy or shrinkage of the tonsillar and ade- noid tissue. It preserves the tonsils intact. It s quite expensive, how- ever, as compared with the cost of tonsil and adenoid operations. X-ray treatment {s not only usel but even harmful in cases of infected or diseased tonsils. It is helpful only when there is no demonstrable in fection in or about the tonsils. Ordinary riches may he stolen from a_man; real riches cannot be.
