MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS. Balanced Diet. Dear Miss Leeds: (1) I am 16 years old, 5 feet 3 inches tall and weigh 132 |y pounds. I work from 7 until 5:30. For uruknat I have porridge, two slices of | g toast and a cup of tea. For dinner 1 have a sandwich, plece of cake, an orange or an apple. For supper I have meat, mashed potatoes and tea: I eat the right kind of food. I have pimples and blackheads, and I am very pale. (2) How can I get rosy cheeks? I have to use rouge. What shade is best for me, and how is powder used— over vanishing cream or cold cream? (3) How can I overcome nail biting? (4) I have sore feet that sweat and crack. I wear high heels and walk to and from work, but when I get to work I change to house slippers. (5) How can I reduce my ankles and my hips? ANXIQUS. Answer—Your diet is not well bal- anced. It is no wonder that you are pale and have pimpies. If you want rosy cheeks, you must eat lettuce, spin- ach, carrots and other succulent vege- tables every day. Your overweight is evidently due to a diet too rich in starchy foods. For breakfast you should begin with an orange or other fruit, then have a dish of whole-grain cereal ‘with thin cream and a little sugar, your. toast and very weak tea. For your mid- day meal have a large serving of lettuce or a dish of coleslaw. If you carry your lunch to work, pro- vide yourself with a small nutmeg grater and a raw carrot. Grate the carrot over the lettuce and use a little French dressing. Instead of the carrot you may have a sliced raw tomato on your salad and several stalks of celery. Add a cheese sandwich and a glass of milk, and_have some kind of fruit for dessert. For your evening meal you may have one serving of meat (chicken or fish), spinach, turnips, & baked potato (eat skin and all), a glass of milk and gelatin dessert. Besides re- vising your diet you should try to get more fresh air. Be sure that your sleeping room is well ventilated. Spend w ends and holidays outdoors, At- tend a gymnasium class once or twice a week in the evening. Be very careful to avoid constipation. (2) You have not told me the shade| Unless you are| very dark skinned, a light red Touge | of your complexion. would be suitable. The powder base to use depends on your type of skin. If it is oily, use an astringent lotion as a base. It would be betier, however, not to use any make-up until the pimples have géne. (3) This is & nervous habit. I think that in your case it is due to long hours of work, wrong food and lack of outdoor exercise. ¥ou may paint your finger tips with tincture of bitter aloes to remind yoursclf not to bite the nails, (4) Your shoes very likely do not fit your feet.. Do not wear high heels for 'ukln;, but keep them for parties, etc. shoes for hunnuu get kid olrl'ordl with broad, low heels and a ht inner line, so that toes wm ve plenty of room. Scrub your feet well every night with soap and water and dust them with a foot pow- Do | der before putting on your stockings in the morning. Chll\q ur shoes and stockings in the ddle of the day. Never wear stockings longer than one day withouf washing them. (5) I shall be glad to mail reducing exercises if you will write ln for them, incl & stamped, druud envelopo. LOIS LEEDS. . Betty—Consult a "a_doctor about the rash” on your &rms. Unless the scars l'rom pimples are very deep they will go away in time. Bad scars of this sort may be removed by electrolysis in the hands of an expert. I think you will have to gain weight all over in order to have fatter arms.

John Grubb died leaving a will by which he sought to keep all his propeny within his immediate family and its direct descendants. He suuulated that the property was to descend to his eidest son for life, then to the son's eldest son, and so forth through four gencrations. When the will was read, it was im- mediately attacked by Grukb's relatives, whose contention was that the provision was void, inasmuch as it permitted the deceased to tontrol the property for too long & period after his death. ‘The court agreed with the contention of the relatives and declared the pro- vision void, -explaiving: it o it nd hich Against Perpetulties’ under which a TSQn cannot create a trust which con- ues ‘longer than the lives in being at the time of the conveyance and 21 years thereafter. &l:rpose of the rule was tg prevcnt the dead hand from eont.mlllu the living world for too long a perfod,” ‘Wheat Griddle Cakes.

Your Baby and Mine BY MYSTLE MEYER BLDRED, - Mrs, H. 8, writes:, “You have helped me before and now I am coming again. My boy is 16 months old and weighs 30 pounds. A regular husky. I have never had apy trouble with him except the past two weeks. He refuses to est his vegetables. He will take two or three spoonfuls and then won't accept another bite. At first I did not urge him, then I forced him, and he took a few more bites, but cried. Was I right? “He is well behaved. In his curious days I did as you advised. I showed him everything and leth.lzrtouel;' it and said, ‘Mama’s’ or ° ‘s’ Now he never touches anything lrmmd the house unless he calls me. My fi and family can’t get over it and laugh at me when I tell them it is tnlnlnl They say he inherits it. They don't realize that they scolded and spanked from the time the children were little. I }uver do that and get far better re- sults.” Answer.—It isn't right to force a child to eat. Let him have a few lapses in the vegetable line if he wants to, or any other food. If you do not force it on him he'll come back to it again, you offer the food in an nm-u ive !om and make no fuss abaout his uu.n; n. Mwhen %n'ih‘numm halyvln( ” ] often onl M’ let toc child feed himself. Children eat almost anything when they spoon it up themselves, being more interested the activity than the food, but if they are fed they become notionate. They turn their heads away; they push the spoon away; they spit it out, heln? bored somewhat, not very hungry, or just to show their comination over this pare ticular situation. If a mother lets baby feed himself he will usually eat some- thing of every food put before him. No_more should bs urged. We can't stuff just three tablespoons of this or two tablespoons of that each day. It is better to give small portions and say nothi about the eating, so that the child feels that he has some freedom. He won't be likely then to refuse his food in order to show that he is the SS. Mothers spend useless hours show- ing a child how to pat-a-cake or wave bye-bye and do not seem s that the child does it. But in simple matter of training the child in same way to touch the household only when his mother is around and recognige that they are mother’s, they throw up their hands. The hereditary implse common to all children is the deslu to touch everything in sight. We have to direct that impulse and it is | no more impaossible than anything else we teach young children. Your experi- ence just helps to prove that. Lessons in English BY W. L. GORDON.

Biggest Two Cents’ Worth. A round-table discussion among gathering of women centered about tbe question of the manner in which one could get the biggest 2 cents’ worth. It started when some woman com- plained of the fact the penny seemed to her to be without value. Soon the keen minds of the party were bent on disproving her contention. It was difficult to deeide whether the biggest 2 or 3 cents’ worth award should g0 to the postage stamp or to the daily newspaper. The stamp gave one Nation- | wide service for 2 cents and carried one'’s message at the lowest rate and in the safest manner. It even carried one's letter to foreign places and, failing to flnd' the addressee, would return it in- tact. ‘Those favoring the award to the newspaper contended that it offered one invaluable news for a couple of pennies, more or less.
