WOMAN’S PAGE. Specialized Diets and Health BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. ‘The vogue of 'El!;:d.lma diets is rampant today. lere are anti-fat diets, blood-purifying diets, vegetable diets, orange diets, fruit diets, diets in which only certain kinds of flour are permitted, etc., through a long list of S mac| [STaEE SPECIALIZED DIETS ARE NEEDED FOR SPECIAL PURPOSES. restrictions. I would seem that the ‘height of specilizing had arrived. Per- haps not, however, and those who be- lieve that dieting is a cure-all may find others in variety. Physicians, however, are beginning to find flaws in the in- | diet, as promoting good health. | Before attempting to follow any spe- lclll dlet a persons does well to consult a physician and find out whether there is need for it. Reducing diets must be carefully studied to suit individual | cases. Anaemia may result from under- feeding, or any one of several troubles | which come from some element of food | being withheld from a constitution. There is one sure guide to diets that | any one can follow with safety. What- | ever is found positively to disagree with a person should be eliminated. What- ever is found to agree can be eaten with impunity. The foods may or may not be the favorites of one's’ appetite. We are not now considering likes and | dislikes in foods, but edibles that suit | constitutions. From among these viands | LITTLE BENNY BY LEE PAPE.

We learned too well the old idea—Pride rideth before a fall and a haughty spirit before destruction. ‘We overlook the fact that a strong per- scnal pride is a wonderful bulwark against the day of temptation. It is well to be too proud to stoop to cheap or _to evil conduct. good idea to teach the chil- dren that such and such things have never been done by the Smiths. Our family never does such and so.

Is it better to have them feel that they do not count? That nobody con- siders whether they do well or ilI? I do not think so. Public opinion is the strongest law there is. When children are taught to covet the good word of the neighbors and friends, when they are taught that their name stands for honorable dealing, courtesy, idealism of one sort or another, they cling to the idea and it pulls them through many a tight place. ‘Then cheer for the family and for the individual. Strengthen pride in both.

And I get the gold medal.” The conscientious mother struggled a second or so, swallowed down the shout of triumph and said, “Well, well, dear. That is very nice. Better get ready for lunch.” Don’t cheat the children of the good word, the stimulus of praise, the sign of appreeiation, when they have done well. Pride will sustain them when other things fail. Righteousness is often founded on pride—that pride that is to proud to fail. (Copyright, Cheese-Parsley Roll. Remove the crusts from a sandwich loaf of bread.

He has seen serv- ice in two wars— the Spanish-Ameri- | can and the World War. | He cut short his law course to enlist | tat the outbreak of the first conflict. He left his seat in Congress to volun- | teer again for serv- | ice in 1918, He came out of the Spanish-Amer- ican War a regi- mental sergeant- | major, and in the World War he served as a captain | and adjutant. His law degree was conferred on him while he was in camp, preparing to go forth for battle. He has been in the Senate only since March of 1929, but he has had 12 years’ experience as a Representative 4 years as a Texas State legislator, and 4 years as a Texas county prosecutor. He probably knows more names end remembers more faces than any other man in the Senate. He has a remark- able faculty for keeping in mind a man’s first name and initials and so greeting him when he meets him. He is one of the best speakers in the Senate. He has a natural gift of ora- tory. His favorite role is that of a de- fender of the Democratic party and its principles, not only on the floors of the House and Senate, but as a campaign speaker for the Democrats. In personal appearance he is impos- ing. Tall, a little heavy set, coal black hair that is inclined to wave, and al- ways immaculately attired, he is one of the handsomest men in the Senate. ~Now 53 years old, he started out in life as a farm boy.

He first came to Congress as a mem- ber of the House in 1916. He was elect- ed to his seat six times. In 1928 he entered the race for United States Senator and won from a fleld which _included Senator Earle B. May- field, Representative Thomas L. Blanton and Col. Alvin Owsley, former natior-1 commander of the American Legion. He is tremendously popular on both sides of the Hill, where he is known and hailed by all as “Tom.” He delights to take time off from his duties as Senator, slip over to the House side and renew old friendships.

Here comes Pa’s cousin Henry to spend the night, an’ I've got my best linen sheets on the spare bed.” (Copyright, 193 FOR RENT Today in Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. September 2, 1861.—A sword and gold epaulettes were presented today to Capt. Dahlgren and a pair of gold epaulettes to Lieut. Parker of the Navy by the officers and men of the 7lst New York Regiment. This regiment is especially grateful to these two naval officers for the kindness shown by them when the regiment was stationed in the Washington Navy Yard imme- diately after the outbreak of hostili~ ties between the North and the South. The presentation was made by a committee headed by Col. H. P. Mar- tin of the 71st Regiment. It will be recalled that this regi- ment was among the first to come to the aid of the Federal Government when it was apparently threatened with attack by the Confederates last April. The men of the 71st New York Regiment came by water to Annapolis, Md. They made the march from An- napolis to the junction with overcoats, knapsacks and muskets and arrived in Washington with full ranks—without one straggler—and were assigned to the duty of protecting the Navy Yard and the Anacostia bridge. Col. Martin, in a brief presentation speech today, said that the regiment had been the recipient of the “bounty and goodness” of the officers of the Navy Yard from the day it arrived un- til the day it left. Capt. Dahlgren and Lieut. Parker ac- cepted the gifts with graceful speeches of thanks. They referred to the fact that the 71st New York Regiment had not only done its duty well at the Navy Yard, but had covered itself with glory on the battlefield of Bull Run this Summer. Capt, Dahlgren said the 7lst New York was the last regiment to leave the fald at Bull Run, and that the men carried themselves like tried soldiers throughout the struggle. Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Labor Day. It is well, now and then, to recall the history of important American in- stitutions. Back in September, 1882, the Knights of Labor held their annual meeting in New York City. The Central Labor Union of New York staged a parade on September 5. Labor saw itself as a reality—an embodied spirit. In 1884 American labor ordained the first Mon- gay of September as an annual Labor ay. Oregon was the first State to make it a legal holiday. That was on February 21, 1887. Colorado enacted the same legislation on March 15, 1887. Next in line came New Jersey, New York and Massachusetts. By 1928 the States and the District of Columbia had made the legislation unanimous. Labor day is in more respects than one a holiday second in significance only to the 4th of July. In the first place it is democratic— all classes celebrate it in America. the second place, it is strictly Amer- ican. Other nations have followed us in establishing something like it. Its significance increases from year to year. It is no longer a mere recess in the hum of industry. It celebrates the “spirit of a Nation.” (Copyrizht, 1930.) String Beans With Lamb.

Do you think it ruins the hair? (3) Does vaseline make the eyelashes &ow long? ANXIOUS. Answer—(1) The ankles can be re- duced through vigorous massage every day and through daily exercise. How- ever, you must continue this program faithfully for several weeks and per- ha; for several months before you will notice very definite results. Ap- ply massage alcohol and then rub them vigorously for about 10 minutes daily. ‘The following exercises will help in the reduction: Stand with legs crossed and toes pointing in opposite directions. Slide one foot out to the side, toe well pointed; bring it back to the starting Repeat 10 times with each foot. Though this 1s rather difficult to do at first, persistent repetition will make it fairly easy and it is one of the most effective exercises for re- ducing a bulky ankle. Another exercise: Stand with heels together, toes pointed slightly outward. Rise on the balls of the feet, bend your knees slightly and raise both arms. Take a short hop forward, landing on your toes with knees deeply flexed; swing your arms out in front as you do so. Spring up quickly and repeat the hop. Tiptoeing about your duties for a half hour a day will help to reduce the ankles and it also strengthens ankles which have a tendency to be weak. Another effective reducing exercise is to rotate the foot with the ankle as an axis.
