TO take an hour and to hurry back to
the cottage to see how she was getting
on. AS drew near to the cottage door,
was astonished to hear notes.-the
one loud and angry, the other soft and

my amazement increased tenfoid.

great: but she was feared, rathe than

FOODS FOR BEAUTY.
Eat Fruit and Green Vegetables if
You Would Improve Your Looks.


Eat Fruit and Green Vegetables if
You wouid Improve Your Looks.
Do you wish to be beautiful? Or, if
you possess beauty already. are you
anxious to retain it?
The chances are. In either case, that
the answer is yes. Well, then, it all
depends TO a great extent upon what
you eat. Certain kinds of food encour-
age pulchritude, while others have an
opposite tendency. 1t is worth while
to know how to regulate your diet
with a view TO acquiring beauty. If
you have 1t not, or TO retaining it if
you are its fortunate possessor.
AT the present tine Uncle Sam is
eultivating. on ais experimental farm
near Washington. beauty making
plant. 1t is called the .fenugreek.'
and the seeds of it are eaten by the
women of Algeria to make them beau
tiful. Their belief Is that it makes
them plump and improves their com
plexions. But the government experts
as yet have not reached a satisfactory
conclusion as to whether this faith Is
justified or not. 1t may be correct,
but Judgment on the point is sus-
pended.
However, there are foods which I'M
deniably are beauty-makers. 1t is
worth any woman's while to know
what they are, and to try them-un-
less. perchance. she is so perfect phy-
sically as not to need +lem- in her
own case. and for her own advantage
''The best of all beaufy-making foods
are fresh fruits and vegetables" said
Professor III. W. Wiley, the famous
government chemist. who is incidental
" skilled physician. '.They contain
relatively little nourishment-a woman
could hardly live on them exclusively
for any length of time-but for rea-
sons which as yet are imperfectly I'm
derstood. they possess extraordinary
value as healthgivers. If you want
bright eyes and clear complexion.
eat plenty of them"
The fact is that most fresh vegeta-
bles and fruits are nearly all water.
Spinach is 9212 per cent water, cab
bage is "a per cent water, beets are IS
per cent water, carrots are 81 per cent
water. caulifiower is 81 per cent water,
cucumbers are 96 per cent water, egg
plant is 90 per cent water. onions are
TSl9 per cent water. tomatoes are 81
per cent water, green corn (cut from
the cob is S11a per cent water and
celery is 94l5 per cent water Fruits
are pretty nearly all water though the
banana is relatively rich in starch.
Fruits and vegetables. then, are of
no great use in supporting the human
body. Their value is mainly medi-
cinal, and as beauty makers they are
the chief lmong foods. 1t is almost
impossible 10 eat too much of them in
fresh STATE though. of course, the
diet must include reasonable proper
ton of those substances. such as meat,
which furnish blood and muscle tissue.

At the West Virginia station hogs
fed four weeks on ground corn gained
about % per cent more than similar
hogs fed on whole corn. 1t is explained
that the hogs had been previously get

whole corn was not relishei. The re
