POOR PA y! CLAUDE CALLAN

Mediterranean, the cradle of the‘ race, diet consisted largely of grains figs and olives. In the northern countries it was game and grain. Along this seashores, fish filled a large place- After a time potatoes and com were introduced Ind they enriched the diet.

In the last generation, oranges appeared rarely, for Christmas

perhaps, with bananas at seasons.

nd they were high priced. Apples -. d lemons were more plentiful, but ti .h- price depended upon their nearness to the market and the season.

This fortunate generation indulges in fruits and vegetables at all sea.- sons of the yeanand the strange thing about it is that the Price persists about the same throughout the year. Lemons, spinach, head lettuce, bananas have about a standard price, the year round. civilization has changed from a bread, meat. and potato eating people to one subsLsting mainly now on fruits and vegetables-with bread. cnce known as the "staff of life," and meat and potatoes without which our grandmothers did not know how to get a meal, forming only s. small part of the meal and eaten in much smaller quantities. One reason for this change in food habits is that we have improv ed transportation facilities, and especially refrigeration, so that pcrishables may be shipped long dis- tances, put in cold storage. and kept indefinitely in the raw state. Many producws are building 001d St-ONSE plants of their own, and they clap the produce into these the minute it is plucked, before it begins to deteriorate. The motor

truck has figured

' largely in our change of diet. In

overnight hauls. it carts produce to

‘ market two hundred miles away. On

main roads one can hardly lie awake a few minutes any night without hearing one of these lumbering trucks, rumbling,‘ past, taking to market what may be bought fresh and crisp the next morning by some housewife, making only a few hours from garden to city table, in season, u: from cold storage to'table out, of it-

Rcsults of these changed food habits are a better fed people, more vitamins, less rickets, and this will tell on the health of our children's children in brighter brains and mysterious glandular improv merit and general efficiency. Economic results are many. New districts, far from market, are opened to market gardening end fruit mising. These districts are now likely to be within reach of the overnight truck haul, but they will lie constantly farther out. ~

Even the airplane is beginning to be enlisted to deliver heed lettuce from the truck patch in the dining table. This will make the land more economically productive. A carrot now costs as much u an orange sometimes. There is hilt one "fly in the ointment“ in this bus- iness. They tell us there is dengu- of overproduction. “Huunnh for that," the housewife is likely to think. “Now my salads will be cheaper." But i-he forecasters tell us thgt theme is danger that speculative financing

is likely to reduce the retum to fir: producer so low that it will not my. and y" u" Price to the consume’ will not be effected. flmngflfln‘ ought to be done about that.

BEAUTY QUESTIONS ANSWERED Whitehead!

Dear Miss Leeds-I have been using a good grade of powder and rouge. but I have noticed small whitelieads on my cheeks under the skin. Is this caused by therouge? How can I en- courage scanty eyelashes to grow?

JANE A.

Answer-I do not think the rouge caused the whitcheads. They are ob- structed glands and result from slug- gishness of the skin. Perhaps you have not been washing your face thoroughly enough. Remove the make-up with cold cream and then wash your face with plenty of warm water and soap, using a soft com-

i I

plexion brush and work in the lather.‘ Rinse very thoroughly in clean warm water, then bathe your face in cold water for several minutes before ciryfl ing it. Be sure to exercise fiuldcors every day. If you are employer] in the daytime jointhe gymnasium class, or go swimming two nights a. week},

Mister Sixteen

Dear Miss Leeds-I am l. boy l6 years old, 5 feet 5 inches tall und weigh 103 pounds. If I am under- weight how can I build myself up? My measurements are: Waist, 28; ankle, 9; hips, 30; chest, 31; wrist, 6. I have a few pimples and sores on my face. How can I get rid of them?

INTERESTED.

Your measurements are slender for

out as you grow older. Be sure to teat three square meals a. clay and drink a quart of milk daily. Avoid constipation. Exercise moderately -- enough to work up a good appetite, but not enough to fatigue you greatly. Sleep nine or tcn hours every night. Do not smoke or indulge in other bad habits. Have a thorough physical examination by your family physician to sce if there is any in- vernal condition like diseased tonsils or bad teeth that may be keeping you too thin. You will outgrow the pim- ples in a few years; keep your skin clean with soap and water. LOIS LEEDS.

HOW T0 LIVE

The great problem is, afier all. How shall one grow in sympathy, and ten- zlcrness, and generosity, and consider- ation? How shall he feed on high thoughts and noble aims? How shall

himself cf those opportunities for usefulness to others which are the best channels of his own growth? How shall he hold clear and close relation with the divine energy?

i i ; EXTREMES i l Men are siics in their cariy years. ‘icypicurcans in their latter; social in ‘youth, selfish in old age. In early life ltlicy believe all men honest, till they lknow them to be knavcs: in late life they believe ‘all ‘to be knives. till they ‘,kno\v them to be honest. Thus some- ;ho\v or other men pass in the course. of living from one of these extremes ito the other, and from having |thought too well of human nature at |first, think at last too ill of it.—

correct this? I am 5 feet 4 inches tall and 16 years old. What should I weigh? BOOTS. Answer-Perhaps the dark hue is due to tiny blackheads. Examine the skin very closely to sea if this is the case.
