WOMAN'S PAGE?] Condiments and Their Proper Use BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. Condiments should not be confused and liquid varieties, and some semi- with food in respect to nou erties. The former give zest to lat- ter .and make dishes tempting to appe- tites. . Without condiments food would lose much of its palatable guality. Un- prop- solid, &s in heavy relishes. Salt and spices, relishes and sauces come under e heading of condiments. They may be used in the preparation of foods. ‘They may be served with previously repared foods, being put with or over hem before coming to the table. Or they may be served in containers on the table at a meal. And, of course, some, such as salt and pepper, are served both ways. When condiments are on a dining table they should be in attractive con- tainers. Salt cellars are of historic sig- nificance and in ancient times were elaborate affairs of magnificence. To- day, though the cellars or shakers are small, they often are exquisite, and should always be dainty. Castors were at one time the approved condiment holders for table service. Salt was seldom included in the variety put into the cruets. These bottles had glass stoppers for liquid contents and perfo- rated silver tops for dry, so that each could be shaken over viands. The large castors were followed by diminutive ones holding salt, pepper and one liquid, which might be vinegar or a relish. When there were four cruets one con- tained olive oil. These castors immedi- ately told the story that they were for making individual portions of French dressing. Today condiments are served in shakers, cellars or dishes, and occa- sionally in bottles. For the last men- tioned, to disguise the commercial as- pect and stress the dainty, there come good-looking perforated silver bottle holders, some footed and some not. The epicurean way to serve pepper is whole and in pepper grinders of silver. The use of condiments bespeaks the taste of an epicure. The sharp ones, such as tobasco sauce, India relishes, cayenne pepper, etc., must be taken im very small quantities. There are some mild spices, such as cinnamon, that can be used with a much freer hand. There are few prepared foods that can elimi- nate condiments and be appetizing. (Copyright, 1929.)

ANSWER TO YESTERDAY’'S PUZZLE. ISC!! TS| IPEICIE L [T| IBBIORE] I2ODEL 1A SN ELLE! DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX Can a Wife Win Her Husband’s Love?—Wise Youth Who Plans His Married Life in Advance. DEAR MISS DIX: Do men ever fall in love with their wives? My husband says he doesn’t love me now and doesn’t think he ever really did. He says he was Jonesome and discouraged when he met me and needed comfort, and because I gave him that he thought he loved me. He is an honest fellow, true and loyal, and I love him with all my heart. He says he hopes to love me, too, some day, but is it possible? We are great pals, but I am so young, only 17, and I want his love terribly. We have a baby that he is devoted to. JUST HIS PAL. Answer: Of course a man can fall in love with his wife, and he is pretty sure to do it if she is willing to take the trouble to vamp him. No other woman in the world has such a chance to win a man’s affections as his wife. All the gods fight on her side. To begin with, she has the advantage of propinquity. Throw a man with any woman day after day, and if she has any attractions whatever he is always sure to fall in love with her. The wife has this opportunity always at hand, and if she doesn't use it to charm her man it is her own fault. Then the wife who wishes to sell herself to her husband knows exactly along what line to approach him. She knows his weaknesses, his prejudices, his likes and dislikes, and so is able to play upon him as upon a harp with a thousand strings. What every man looks for, from the cradle to the grave, is some woman who understands him. Some woman who will listen with rapt attention while he talks about himself, his business, his hopes, aspirations and plans. Some woman who believes in him and who jollies him along. Any wife can make her husband eat out of her hand if she will only feed him on a few grains of sympathy and appreciation. Still another advantage that the wife has over other women is that the mere fact that she belongs to him and bears his name throws a halo around her and puts her in the best light before him. He picked her out for a wife from among all other women. She represents his taste and judgment, and the same sort of vanity that makes him think that the particular car he drives is the best car that is made and that the town he lives in is the greatest town on earth makes him overlook defects in his wife that he would criticise in any other woman. ‘Why, half the husbands you know still speak of their wives as “little women” after they have got so fat they refuse to be weighed any more. Generally speaking, the last man to find out that a woman has lost her good looks is her husband, and he never finds it out so long as she wears pretty frocks and is amiable and jolly. Likewise, the wife has the advantage of becoming a habit with her husband. A great deal of nonsense is talked about men tiring of their wives and seeking fresh faces, and so on. As a matter of fact, men don’t like change. Obssrve how they stick to the same fashion in clothes year after year. Observe how they go to the same places, frequent the same amusements, eat the same food. Why, there are men who can eat three-minute eggs for breakfast and roast beef, medium rare, and potatoes and apple pie every day of their lives without tiring of them or varying their menu. The average man doesn't even like to travel. It is women who like variety, and not men. So the wife who wants to win her husband's love has it in her favor that he doesn’t like to change. He is accustomed to her. She is a habit, and if she will only make herself a pleasant habit, one that is easy on the eyes and as comfortable to live with as an old shoe, she is bound to win out. In your case, Little Pal, you have the added advantage of youth and of child that his father loves, and, believe me, the most ‘;gwerlu{ agent ldnoth: world in drawing a man to a woman is baby hands. They have a giant's strength, and no man whose soul is not utterly dead ever looks at his children’s mother without a tenderness that he feels for no other woman in the world. You say that you and your husuband are companionable. You are great friends. After all, that is what married love comes to be when it settles down to everyday living. Remance wears out. Passion dies of satiety. ‘You no longer thrill and palpitate at the sound of a footstep that you hear continually, but get something better than that when you get a true and tried friendship with one who understands and sympathizes with you and with whom you never get talked out because you have every interest in common. My diagnosis of your case is that your husband mistakes his symptoms and that he really loves you. At any rate, it will not do any harm for you to keep on trying to vamp him. Husbands can stand a lot of that kind of thing. oo DOROTHY DIX. EAR MISS DIX: I know a young man who will have nothing to do with girls who drink and smoke and pet, because he says he doesn't want that kind of wife. Recently he has become engaged to a girl, but as they can’t marry for five or more years he lets her go out with other fellows. Is this fellow wise or foolish? A BOY FRIEND. Answer: Very, very wise. Wise beyond his years. He has avoided the temptation of falling in love with a girl who does not possess the qualities that he wants in a wife. He will not make the mistake of marrying an extravagant girl when he wants a thrifty wife or a wild girl when he wants a domestic wife. He is wise enough to know that long engagements generally wear themselves out, and so if he and the girl develop along different lines and come to the place where they have nothing in common or if they weary of each other they will have no hesitation about breaking a bond that no longer binds, because he has not segregated the girl from all other men and prevented her from making a ood marriage.

You must be a bit too thin all over, which accounts somewhat for the When you are ready to reduce sum- mon courage and firmly refuse solid food for three entire days. Then start your carefully pruned down diet, which Wl:ll most likely be 1,100 or 1,200 calories a day. You can have almost any liquid you like, only you should keep the caloric value of it to 500 calories. Skim milk or buttermilk is good, most especially buttermilk, which does nice things for your complexion. If you have six glasses of either of these, spaced three hours apart, each day, that's only 480 calories, for an eight-ounce glassful is only 80 calories. Or you can have orange juice, but you'll have to dilute this with water, for a very scant glass of this is 100 calories. Or you can have consomme, a cup of which is merely 30 calories. Or weak tea, with lemon or milk, and a little sugar, and count a cup as 50 calories or under. Or, a glass of hot water on rising, and breakfast of merely orange juice and black unsweetened coffee. And hot consomme mealtimes and buttermilk between meals, putting something into the stomach once in three hours. And hot tea or coffee as you want it—always watching your calories. ‘The result is that the stomach shrinks to a surprising extent. After this shrink- age, it actually wants less food, natural- ly, for it has less room to hold it. You may hate the idea of a liquid diet and you may feel hungry. The stomach will rotest, naturally. But the good part s that it won't protest as strongly the second day as the first, and the third day it won't protest much at all, L.

V. writes: “If you have the time to spare, will you write an article about the practice of older mothers scaring young prospective mothers? I believe it is quite common and ap- parently much enjoyed by older women. I feel certain that one of your inter- esting articles, read by so many, would do_very much good and make those well-meaning friends see how much harm they are doing. During this con- dition I have enjoyed life as much as ever and have been feeling perfectly well. I see no reason for being pessimis- tic about this normal event. But one week of visiting with an elderly relative has about wrecked my nerves, in spite of the fact that this old lady is very good to me, and I am fond of her and usually happy with her. I have heard nothing but conversation about the dangers and terrors of childbirth until I have felt that a few more days of entertainment along this line would have me in hysterics. My best wishes for the new year for your happiness.” Answer—Your letter seemed to me as adequate a plea as any I could write. I have for many years paid especial at- tention to what “they” say about every- thing and anything. Invariably “they” hold little or no hope for the success of any venture in which the timid “we” are engaged, whether it be preparing for the little stranger, caring for him after he arrives, attending him when ill and right straight through the whole gamut of human experiences. “They” are always a pessimistic lot with eyes glued to the dark side. Just why older matrons insist on parading their experiences to young mothers at a time when their emotions are so concerned will always remain a mystery. It is an experience which can be unique for every mother and no one can refute her statements, however in- credible they may seem. It seems to be human nature to take advantage of this, and, while one need not mini- mize the experience itself, the tradi- tional attitude of mystery, “down in the valley of the shadows” and so on, that we know so well, makes it imperative that each mother carry on the tradi- tion, even though her own experience may have been a normal, natural and not too painful one. I do think that whatever satisfaction mothers get out of retelling such ex- periences, their own good sense and kindliness would prevent their doing so in the presence of mothers about to embark on it. There seems no good reason in my mind why the young mother should hesitate for one moment to say, “I'd rather not hear about it.” FEATURESY PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE BY WILLIAM A man aged 33 years, woolen weaver by trade, consulted his physician be- cause of constant pain in the upper abdomen and lower chest, with tender- ness in the abdomen. He was so anemic that the doctor suspected in- ternal bleeding. After a few days the doctor sent the patient to hospital on suspicion of perforated gastric ulcer. In the hospital they explored the region where the trouble seemed to lie, and found no gastric ulcer but an acutd appendicitis. They removed the ap- pendix. But $he patient went right on having trouble_just the same as ever. If there’s anything about practice that makes me sore it is this ungrateful conduct on the part of some patients. Really you never can tell what trick a patient may be trying to play on you when he comes complaining of aches. But this fellow wasn’t permitted to laugh long, I can tell you. After a week or two of his carrying on further study of his case brought to light a stippled or mottled appearance of red corpuscles under the microscope. This peculiar spotty appearance of these cells in the blood suggests poisoning, particularly lead poisoning. However, the symptoms all subsided before the patient went home from the hospital. He rested at home four weeks, then returned to work. Three or four weeks later he began to have the old pains again. This time the doctor was on the alert, and immediately had a good look at the patient’s gums. Sure enough, there was a distinct bluish line near the edge of the gums, and this is another common sign of lead poisoning. The pains subsided after a few days’ treatment with mag. suiph., better BRADY, M. D. known as Epsom salt. Magnesium sul- phate presumably aids in dissolving lead from the tissues and blood and elim- inating it from the body. Once more the patient returned to work. None of his Tellow workers had any signs of lead poisoning, so the source was probably not oecupational. Inquiry into the man’s habits elicited the information that he had consunzed about 15 gallons of elderberry wine, 5 gallons of grape wine and 1 gallon of cider since the preceding Fall. Between whiles he worries along on homemade beer. Examination of this brew dis- closed no lead in it. The man's wife and children drank the beer, too, but they showed no signs of lead poisoning. They had not participated in the con- sumption of the wine, however. Ah, ha, as Hawkshaw wowld say, the case begins to present features of in- terest, my dear Bonely. Well, after a good deal of question- ing, doubtless with excursions and alarms enough to make a book, it was found that the man had been in the habit of withdrawing wine and cider from the kegs and jugs through a rubber tube that had been used in a torch. He started the siphonage by sucking the beer or wine through the tube into his mouth. Analysis of cider, wine and the rub- ber tube showed that the cider con- tained 0.6 per million lead, the wine 0.7 per million, and the section of tube 1.9 per cent lead, or the whole tube contained, say, 100 grains of lead, a good teaspoonful. Evidently the source of lead in the beverages was the rubber tube, which had been in use six or seven years.
