Peter was full of wonder and ex citement as he hurried away to tell all whom he should meet what he had seen. He didn’t know who the stranger was. Never had he seen anyone like him in the Green For est. The very thought of him made Peter shake with fright, even if Jimmy Skunk should say that there was nothing to be afraid of, and Peter knew that this is just what Jimmy would say when he met him. Presently as he hurried, lipperty lipperty-lip, through the Green For est he met his cousin. Jumper the Hare. "Oh, Jumper! Cousin Jumper! I've seen him!" cried Peter just os soon as he was near enough to make himself heard. Jumper sat up and looked at Pe ter curiously.

BARBER T'HE most important material * which we take into our bodies through the mouth is completely lacking in food valuel This sounds like a contradictory statement. It is, however, water which we are describing in these terms. As has been proven many times, man can live much longer without food than he can without drink, which he must have, not only to satisfy his thirst craving, but for use in every body process. The first qualifications in choosing a place of residence is a liberal and sure water supply. Those of us who live in cities and suburbs take this for granted. This is not the case, however, in the country. It was brought to my attention in Maine when a new well was necessary. Captain Sinnott was called upon to locate the well on one of the veins of water which run at intervals through the region. He came armed with a crotched willow twig, which, believe it or not, turned toward the ground when it found running water. Of course, it would not be so oblig ing for everyone, although we were ah allowed to try our hand at divin ing. One or two of us actually found that we had the power, al though we were scientific scoffers. To go back to the importance of water which too often we neglect to drink in the proper quantity. At least eight glasses should be taken daily if our body machinery is to be supplied with amounts which will enable it to run efficiently. Some of this may be taken at meals if it DEAR DIARY- AS I SIT HERE \ IN A GLAMOROUS NEGLIGEE- - ) LOOKING AT DOZENS OF ORCHIDS \ CLARK GABLE SENT ME _ I AM 1 1 STRUCK WITH THE FUTILITy J v—\^F LIF&-/ : I-W “»>"««• W ■ I I WNU Service.

BARTON © Beil Syndicate.—WNU Service. A PROMINENT lawyer was going down hill physi | cally. He was seventy years of age but had always been able to look after his legal work despite attacks of indi gestion and an irritation which caused painful and fre quent emptying of the urine. The indigestion gave him loss of appetite, sour taste in the mouth, Dr. Barton a uiudicu ivciiugi gas on the stomach and in the intestine, fullness after eating, and either constipa tion or diarrhoea. He didn’t want to go to a doctor as he was afraid that an operation, perhaps two operations, might be necessary, and at seventy years of age he was “tak ing no chances.’’ The symptoms, however—terrific at tacks of indigestion, and the fre quent desire to pass urine—made him decide that life wasn’t worth the living with this pain and dis tress so he consulted his physician. Some months later friends meet ing him on the street stopped him and congratulated him on his splen did appearance—good color, brisk walk, calm, serene face. Don’t Put Off Operation. To the inquiry as to the cause of the change in his appearance, he quite casually remarked, “Oh, they found some gall stones and removed my gall bladder, and then a little later I had them remove the gland at the neck of the bladder, so with these two annoyances removed I’m feeling young again.” The point here is that while op eration can never be treated lightly and operation on one past seventy would seem somewhat of a serious risk, nevertheless when gall stones are present it is not the age of the patient that matters from the stand point of a good recovery after op eration, but the length of time the patient has- allowed the symptoms to be present before undergoing the operation. So if your doctor advises removal of the gall bladder, don’t put it off too long. If it should come out, the sooner the better. * • • Dieting Daughters. One of the unfortunate things about prescribing reducing diets, particularly for women, is that so many young women of normal weight, or even below normal weight, believe that they will have a better appearance, will look “slim,” if they follow the general rule of reducing weight, which, after all, is “just to eat less food.” Intelligent young women, college and business girls, who would not think of using a drug such as thy roid extract to reduce weight, will deliberately “starve” themselves to get the slim boyish figure. “Of all the conditions found on examination of large groups of young women, underweight is about the most universal and likewise the most likely to prove dangerous.” I am quoting Jane Foster, R. N., in Hygeia. Miss Foster is assistant director of health, Sarah Lawrence college. “There is then the problem of the girl of eighteen or nineteen con sciously controlling her own weight at a standard below that for good health. Now the greatest case for death in this age group is tuber culosis, the predisposing factor of which is malnutrition—underweight. “The greatest cause of illness in college health records is found to be infections of the nose, throat and chest and these, too, go with pro nounced underweight. Other com panions of underweight may be ir ritable dispositions and a loss of the natural mental ability or alert ness. Those who work with this age group are frequently impressed with the large number who com plain of fatigue and general dissatis faction with life.” Of course the cause of this fa tigue, irritability, dissatisfaction with life, is that these young worn | en, who should be eating more food at this age than at any other age in their lifetime, are actually eating less than the body needs just to keep it working, aside from the extra food needed for growth in height and width. And the foods that should be eaten for growth and strength—meat, eggs and milk—are not included to any extent in the diet of these slim-mad girls. What these girls of normal weight forget is that underweight means undernourishment, and undernour ishment means that a.reduction of the “energy reserves” of the body occurs when not enough food is eaten and the body is below normal weight. The energy reserves of the body— the reserves needed to promote health and growth, and prevent or lessen the effects of illnesses—can only be maintained by a generous all round diet at this important age in a woman’8 life. 5 Potatoes for Short Cakes.—Hot, boiled and mashed white potatoes are good in making short cakes and puddings. They not only save flour, but require less shortening. * * * Cleaning Enameled Sinks. — Those stubborn dark streaks which accumulate on enameled sinks and bathtubs can be re- 1 moved with kerosene. • • • Dry Soiled Clothes. — When clothes are sent to the laundry they are usually paid for by weight. Money can be saved if the housewife makes certain all articles are dry before they are sent out. * * • Eggs in Tomatoes.—Take large tomatoes, slice off the tops, re move the pulp. Break an egg into each case, replace the pulp, add a nut of butter, season with pepper and salt. Replace the tops and bake in a hot oven for *5 to 10 minutes. Serve hot or cold, gar nished with cress, peas or lettuce. * * * Strain the Starch.—Starch used in laundering should be strained to remove all lumps that might blister when ironing. * * * When Peeling Small Onions.— Cover small onions with hot wa ter and let stand for a minute or two and the skins are easily re moved.
