The Latest Knowledge as to Brain
Foods.
Food That Makes Brains: According to
a recent health report. bleached almonds
give the brain and muscle food, and the
man who wishes 10 keep his mental pow
ers up would do well TO include them in
his daily bill of fare. Juicy fruits develop
more or less the higher nerve or brain,
and are eaten by all men whose living de-
Ponds on their medicines.
Apples supply the brain with rest
Prunes afford proof against nervousness,
but are not muscle feeding. They should
be avoided by those who suffer from the
liver. But at the same time it has been
proved chat fruits do not have the same
effect upon everybody. Some people have
never been able to eat apples without suf-
fering the agony of Indigestion; TO others
straw berries are like poison.
The Mirror Deceives: No doubt the hu-
man race would consider it little short of
a universal tragedy if there We're no look
ing glasses. Yet in spite of their wide
spread use. il is an astonishing fact that
none of us have ever seen ourselves as
others see us.
In the first place, the reflection in the
any attempt at accuracy. The hair is
wrong in tone the eyes are not correct in
color and our compilations are hopelessly
hDeled by this specious household de-
ceiver 1t is certain that if the looking
glass told the truth, the sales of various
complexion washes would greatly de
crease. for any fair skin looks gray and
palld in a glass and as result many
women ruin their splendid compleXions by
fh.a leflr
bad in the mirror.
You may be certain that however plain
your face seems, 1t is not so plain as it
appears in the tell-tale mirror. Secondly.
you cannot assume your natural EXPIRES
sion while peering In looking glass. The
eye must be in a certain position before
you can see at all and the eye, so far as
expression is concerned, governs the face.
The consequence is that you can see only
one of your expressions in the glass and
that one of tentative examination. All
the other expressions by which your
friends know you favorable or otherwise,
you have never seen.
Care of the Refrigerator.-EVen
the best housekeepers Will some
times need TO be reminded that care of
the refrigerator Is a most important item
of healthy living. No other thing in the
house should receive as much attention
and regard for its perfect WnOlesoIneheSs-
Leave your refrigerator entirely in the
hands of your servants and you need not
be surprised if sickness soon attacks the
family. Personal supervision of this
branch of housekeeping is the only safe
guard against bad health.
one thing cooks should be particularly
cautioned against is the putting away of
warm food in the ice chest. When this is
done the article will absorb the odOrs and
havors of other foods. Milk and butter
should always be kept in compartments
set aside for them. If the refrigerator
however, does not provide for this, do
not fail to keep both articles well covered.
| Milk will readily absorb the fiavors Of the
other foods, and the butter, if left ex-
| posed, soon becomes tainted.
Every day give the ice chest a thorough
washing and drying. When the ice is
wrapped in a cloth TO keep 1t from melt
| ing do not let the same piece of wooden
! do duty week in and week out without
a change. If possible, give your refrigera-
tor a good summing once a week. Roll il
| in the yard, wash out every crack and
crevice with warm soapsuds, scrub each
rack with soda and water and then let a
sunbath finish the purifying process.
