Again and again unhappy and lonely girls write to tell me of their unpopularity with boys because of their insistence on holding to their own standards of dignity. Nothing I can say to these girls is so likely to convince them of their blunder as two letters I am today quoting. Both these letters came in comment on a reply [ made to a girl who was very unhappy because she could find no men who would respect a digni- fied girl and who would show any desire for her society once they were | sure they could not kiss her. | Of course the right sort of a man | does not feel this way, and [ am going to quote two of many letters I haye received in order that the girls may see for themselves. “The inclosed clipping describes just the sort of girl that the under- signed would feel honored to know. “It has been my experience to meet many girls. Very few have shown the least disposition to respect their word in “simple appointments, and so I have become skeptical about placing any confidence in assurances they may give me. And yet a word suggesting . that they were not self-| respecting would be readily resented, Do girls think of this side of it when they complain that men don’t respect them? ) “I respect ‘principles in-any girl who is sincere in her endeavors to live up to them, And [ think a girl ought to regard keeping her word | just as important as demanding re- spect for .her dignity... I raise my hat to any girl who is really self-respect- ing. OHN A.-D” Girls, T suggest that you think about this letter a little bit. Are you honest and “on the level?” Do you respect”friendship and liking? Or are you unreliable coquettes who whimper when you are taken at your own valuation and are annoyed with love- making you may have invited? Now for a second letter:’ “It has been and still is the dream of my life to meet a girl who is sweet and dignified and wants respect. I have no persongl experience of women-and their ways, but my work brings me into contact with all classes of men, and from what I have heard about girls I was beginning to despair of ever finding one who was not willing to be kissed and made|, love to by all and sundry. “I feel so lonely at times that I am quite desperate—but I can't take time from my work to bother about girls who are not high principled and worth while,” And there, girls, is the verdict of two of my boys, There, were dozens of other letters of the same tone. If you are unfortunate enough to know the wrong sort of young men, hold yourself aloof from them and wait until you meet the right sort. You will meet a fine man some da and then you will suffer bitterly if you have not kept your affections worthy of him.

GarisMness has fallen away and in its place there may be | found suits of good. materials in sim- i ple lines and at moderate prices. The Buster ‘Brown type, with its | slim long waist and comfortably full skirt, rivals the more usual model with | the fitted waist line.

If further proof than the experience of buried miners and professional fasters were required of the wonderful reserve power of the human organ- |ism in desperate emergencies, it can | be found in abundance in hospital rec- ords. : Patients who, by some blocking of | the gullet, or intestines or extensive destruction of the stomach by acci- dent or by cancery are absolutely pre- vented from assimilating food, or who, from uncontrollable vomiting, rejeot everything which they swallow within a few minutes, show almost equal powers of endurance of starvation to the faster and the miners and earth- quake vietims, in proportion to their physical condition. if the condition which renders the absorption of food impossible does not cause severe pain, or self-poison- ing or auto-infection, we have little fear for the lives or even the health of our patients thus cut off from their food supply for a week or ten: days, and usually no serious misgiv- ings up to two or three weeks, if they are able to absorb water and free from pain so that they can rest com- fortably. . In fact, hundreds of cases are on record who have survived without food, or with only the most trifling amounts per day, for two three ‘or even five weeks, and then if the ob- structive condition in the meantime could be relieved by operation, or oth- erwise overcome, made a complete and gratifying recovery. We used to rely greatly upon nutrient enemata, injections of beef tea, egg-nog; etc., into the bowel, in these cases. But we now know that,very little food substance of any’kind 'is ab- sorbed from the colon, and’that the main value of these 'high’ enemata was to supply water to the'system, which can be freely absorbed here. In fact, patients do almost'as well upon injections of plain boiled water or weak saline solutions ad” they did on these nourishing broths and thick soups, even if predigested, and are much more comfortable. - The reason and mechanism of this remarkable powér of going without food are twofold. First of all, the grim fact that such an absolute power of endurance of starvation was an ab- solute essential to survival, not| merely in the storie age and in the stage of savagery, but all through barbarism to the lower stages of so- called civilization. Famines, with the savage, come every winter or every dry season, ac- cording to his latitude; and the Ojibwa, or Eskimo, who cannot, on occasion, eat thirty pounds of meat at a sitting when he can get it and go thirty days without it altogether when he can't has slim chances of survival. And we kept that power pretty well exercised in our own ancestral line up 1to a couple of centuries ago; for a | famine every ten or fifteen years was formerly as regular and matter of course an affair as a wet summer or |an extra cold winter all over Europe, as it is in Russia, Turkey and India to this day. : The mechanism of our capacity to still stand these tremendous strains on emergency, is that even to this| day nature equips every one of us with a packing and lubricating and blanketing of fat amouming to nearly 25 per cent of our body weight. 1f we would literally fry the fat out of ourselves, we would shrink at least a third in bulk; for not only is there jacketing and packing and filling in of all sorts of unoccupied spaces and rounding out of unbeautiful hollows by this natural oleomargarine, but every one of our tissues is'saturated and soaked with it—our livers, our muscles, the hollows of our bones, and even our lordly and superior ner- vous system. Our brain as it stands is nearly 40 per cent fat; so that the term “fat-headed” may be as accur- ate as it is abusive. Although fat is a very useful tissue in many of the every day activities of the body, a very large share of this huge proportion of it, the. heaviest tissue but two in our bodies, second only to the muscles and bones, is reafiy floating capital, money in the bank, which can be utilized in case of a run or drain on .our credit. So convertible, in fact, a sécurity is it, that no less thar-nine-tenths of it can be completely burned up in pro- longed starvation, fully half of the tenth that remains being incorporated in _the nervous system. > This supplies the butter for our in- ternal daily bread in case of starva- tion; but where does the bread and meat come from? From our muscles and from our liver and from the voluminous and juicy coils of our food tube; even our bones are sucked dry Df‘!, More See 'lnnouncemeht on page 5. i ASK FOR AND GET 'SKINNER'S THE HIGHEST QUALITY 'MACARONI 36 PAGE RECIPE BOOK FREK CXINNER MFG.

' . and our skin shrivels under the sap- ing of starvation. i b ]% fact, nature has the whole body olitic organized for war after the ?ashion of the German general staff, with a precise gradation from greedi- ness at the one end to loyalty and self-sacrifice at the other. = So that the lowest and weakest tissues are eaten up first, while the highest and, in their own estimation at least, most indispensable, are preyed upon scarce- ly atall. To put in crude percentages, we can live on our fat in starvation until 90 to 95 per cent of that is gone. We can live on our muscles until 60 per cent of their weight, Whld} means more than a third of our total body, weight, is gone. We can eat up and keep body and life together on 30 to 40 per cent of our liver and di- gestive organs. Our skin and ‘our lungs will yield nearly 20 per cent of their weight for the life of the body. While our indispensable heart and supreme directing brain and ner- vous system lose only about 10 and 5 per cent of their weight, respectively. So that, to put it very roughly, na- ture has so skillfully arranged matters that a man weighing 150 pounds can burn up and utilize 50 pounds of his own weight for starvation rations and yet keep together his organization and his, pumping plant, so that when the famine is over and the siege is raised he can rebuild his working force agdin combpletely. ‘This gives him, of course, a pound and a half a day for some thirty days if he can only get drinking water. Nature conducts all her most vital operations upon a wide “margin of g:fety," as, Meltzer aptly terms it. at a word of caution should be added - to-emphasize that this is only an emergency measure, but not in the least: either 'adapted to or useful in otdifiary circumstances. The process, in fact, of burning up one’s own tis- sues, eating one’s own flesh, like any other form of cannibalism, while it is wonderfully effective in simply main- taining life after some desperate fash- ion, is in all other regards an ex- tremely undesirable and even danger- ous performance. Complete abstention from food or even living upon extremely inadequate and small amount, so as to cause con- sumption of one’s own tissues and loss in weight, is anything but a healthy or physiologica{process; and as we years ago discovered in our work with dieting diabetic patients, is accompanied by the formation of def- inite and dangerous poisons in the body. These poisons, known as the ace- tone group, are the principal agents in causing death in diabetes and other similar disease conditions and have a singular effect upon the nervous sys- tem, partly in numbering it in a most merciful manner so as to blunt the edge of hunger; for as nearly all its victims have testified, starvation, after the first three or four days, is hardly at all painful. But, second, like near- ly all other mild narcotics, they pro- duce illusions and hallucinations. One ofthe first of these is a curious sense of mental clearness and lucidity. So' that thé individual undergoing either complete or partial starvation will frequently comment on the ex- tent to which it has improved his men- tal powers and cleared his brain. This quickly goes on to positive hallucina- tions of voices and lights and visions, for the most part of beauty and charm. This curious two-fold effect of the acetone bodies in starvation ex- rlz'ms at once the remarkable popu- larity which fasting has always en- joyed with ascetics and mystics of every age for the purpose of purifying their minds and placing them in a re- ceptive condition for visions and rev- elations. It also explains why so many of the spare .diet, low protein, vegeterian cures and schemes for the physical re- géneration of humanity score such a striking appdrent success during the first. few days or weeks, Those who undertake such ventures are, as a rule, to begin with, suscep- tible, to 'say the least of it; and the cloud of ‘rosy illusions bred in them by ‘the autotoxins of starvation fills theém with enthusiasm and delight at the success of their experiment in etonomy. e Adwice to Lovelorn By Beatrice Fairfox He Is to Be Respected. Deéar Miss Fairfax: Hasn't a cripple the same.right In this world as anybody else” ,I'am 18 and have been sweethearts with 4 boy one year my senlor since my child- hodd,, and although we love each’ other dearly my parénts object to our acqualnt- ance very strongly for the reason that he is_a ‘“cripple.” Péople hurt my feelings very much by passing remarks in my presence, such as: “He Is such fine young man, but thers 18 no futuré for him; who will marry a ‘cripple? ete.” He is soon to finish a professional course In college.” ESTELLE Of course ,a cripple has the same right in the world as any one else—and more: The respect of all who know him if ne is ambitious and energetic enough to try to forge ahead despite his physical handicap.’ Lameness is ‘not hereditary. A woman has no right to bring children into the world if there is the taint of insanity or moral deficiency of any sort fn her family or that of the man she loves—but a man may have a club foot or a withered arm of a twisted hip without endangering pos- terity or handicapping his own life. I admire you for you loyalty to your crippled friend. He deserves it and the people who khow him ought to glve him respect ana réeverence for seeking an education and o place In the world. There Is hardly the question of marriage between a girl of 18 and a boy of 18, but I would be very sorry to feel that a splendid triendship was not possl batween them especlally when tha boy has the handicap of the sensitiveness his condition must make him feel.
