When eating becomes a jading ex- ercise it may be because your life needs some pep injected into it. Not that mental stimulus known in the vernacular as “pep,” but honest to goodness pepper. Much of the food we eat would be without flavor and vest were it not for pepper of one kind or another. Sweet green peppers are available all the year in most places. So that when you are buying ingredients for salads sweet green peppers are old reliables. American families are not as fa- millar with chills as they might be. However, in some of our \Wastern states housewives adorn the beams of their kitchens with rope of chili pep- pers. They shade from pale yellow to wine color, and all of them are good. Green peppers should be bought when they have veached that shade of green that is just short of vellow When bought before yellow spots ap- pear they are nearly ripe, and the flesh has a very sweet flavor, and is tender.

Every so often the Bible mentions the joyful noise before the Lord and always the joyful noise is praise. Grown folk and children alike enjoy that joyful noise both when it is di- rected toward themselves and toward other people. They thrive upon it. ‘When the baby manages to per- form a new movement or to utter a new word, how he does beam at his mother's applause. “Good, good,” she call “Good baby. Mother's good child. Chuckles and dimples and gay prancings express the lift of the little heart under the stimulus of the Joyful n The self-conscious children from 10 throughout the teens wiggle and blush and glow in response to praise. They, too, thrive in its atmosphere but they like it better in private. When you draw Tommy aside and beam affectionately upon him as you say: ‘You did a great job this month, old top. I don’t belleve there’s an- other lad your height and weight ‘n this town that did any better. You keep on this way, and you will be a world winner,” how that boy does ex- pand. There's nothing like giving him the impression that he’'s pretty good and that you know fit. Girls are often overlooked when praise is being passed out. They are usually shy about telling their good deeds, and parents are usually too busy to speak about them when they come upon them, or perhaps too shy to speak about what they discovered. Or, too, deeply steeped in the old doc- trine that praise makes for vanity and vanity is sin. “I always did good work in school and college,” said a young teacher, “but my folks never gave me a word of praise. When I won a prize they seemed to take it as a matter of course. When I stood at the head of my classes they seemed pleased, but gave me to understand that the head of the class was where I belonged and to have been anything else would have been disgraceful. I know now that they were delighted and proud when I did well, but I needed to know it when I was working hard to succeed.” Praise is like additional fuel to a blaze. It is actually added power to the one recelving it and knowing that it was honestly earned. To with- hold it is a great mistake. An ear- nest worker, an honest child’s striving toward his goal, will never be spoiled by the joyful noise made in his honor. The honor-hunting child who seeks what is not his was spoiled before praise could reach him. He was try- ing to cover failure. There are families In my district, familles where every penny counts, who have a party when a son or daughter reaches some coveted goal such as graduation from school and college. The house is furbished, the lights are turned on, music brought in, flowers and fruit and gifts and friends, all celebrate the glad event with a joyful noise. I never knew that demonstration to injure the child that received it. I have known it to stimulate him to make greater efforts to deserve it; to Answer to Yesterday’s Pussle. “Codfish Gems’ made by Mrs. Reed 1 Can Ready-o-Fry Cod Flsh Cakes | 1 Egg per person served | Oper can and ghape the con- tents into cakes.

Answers to these questions in tomorrow’s Star. A Grasshopper in the Hand. Louis Agassiz was passionate on the subject of substituting brooks for books in teaching. In his day bugs were considered too disgusting to study directly; you just read about them in books. His position as a trainer of nature teachers gave him the chance to revolutionize all this, and while lecturing on grasshoppers he made each teacher hold one in the hand. This caused some of the ladles considerable distress, and they used to pretend that they accidentally dropped the grasshoppers. But Agas- siz always noticed this and would not go on till the grasshopper was picked up again. Now what do you know about that? Answers to Yesterday’s Questions. 1. Carbon dioxide in the air is nec- essary to plant life, and also, as heat absorber, keeps the heat reflected from the earth from escaping into outer space. A diminution of the to- tal amount is thought to have brought on the glacial perfod. 2. Bacteria in the soil recapture ni- trogen and decompose dead material into forms ready for use again. 3. When water penetrates dn active volcanic pit, steam is formed under great pressure, usually resulting in a tremendous explosion. 4. The air of a house must have abundant water vapor in it or the siin cracks, the membranes of nose and throat dry up, giving easy en- trance to germs, and the nerves seem to be irritably affected in some cases. 5.

In Winter thirst does not jog one into taking a drink as often as in Summer. Also, there is not so much moisture lost through perspiration. But several long drinks of “Adam’s ale” are necessary in.Winter. The water quota for a person in normal health is six or eight glasses every day. Most articles of food contain water, as shown by the fact that they lose weight in drying. Two-thirds the weight of the human body is water. “An infant neceds to take daily, in some form, about one-seventh of its weight in water. Most of this is ab- sorbed from its food.” But even the very young baby should also have plain bolled water to drink between feedings. The water should be boiled to be sure it is sterile, then put in a sterilized bottle, cooked and kept for the day's supply. The daily loss of water from the ‘body is about four and one-half pints. To supply this daily loss, about six or eight glasses should be taken every day in addition to the water which is in food. When water is not taken in sufficient volume, the volume of the blood is diminished. As a result the blood pressure is lowered. School children and infants should be supplied with sufficient water. It is said that a child of 85 pounds needs as much water daily as an adult of 140 pounds. It would be well if all offices were supplied with water cool- ers, so it would be easy for everybody to get a drink several times a day. Individual cups or paper drinking cups only should be used in public places. Disease is transmitted through the common drinking glass. Almost everywhere its use has been discarded. ‘The practice of using a common drinking glass cannot be too strongly condemned. If a glass ornaments the water fount, do not use it. Have either your owr. folding cup or, better still, paper cups in your desk. “Neither a borrower or a lender be” of the office drinki glass. Many people drink water only at meals. If no other liquid is taken at meal times, a glass of water taken between mouthfuls of food does no harm. The amount of liquid which EAT AND BE HEALTHY Dinah Day’s Daily Talks on Diet 51 the Best Medicine can be safely taken at meal times depends very much on the shape, tone and movement of the stomach Individual digestion must settle whether or not you can take soup. dinner, water and coffee at one mea! ‘This may be too much liquid at on~ time for your kind of inwards, or i may agree with you. At any rate, it is wise to take on: or two glasses of water on arising i1 the morning. This is very effective as a means of combating constipa tion. The rest of the water ration can be taken between meals througi out the day and one glass before go ing to bed. It is perfectly proper to dri water whenever you feel thirsty. The body 1is signaling its need. The point is to teach the body to be thirsty for its right amount of water at regular times. The body should be tratned to start its demand for water, and not Lent you forget about it during a bus) Readers desiring personal answers to the questions shouid send el iressed, stampe.: envelope to Dinah Day, care of The Star.
