Scientific Opinion

Scientists tell us that 80 per cent. of
a child's fitness is fixed before it enters
a school, and that fitness depends
largely on food.
Oats contain more proteids, more
organic phosphorus, more lecithin
than any other cereal foods. Proteids
are the body builders, phosphorus
is the main constituent of the brain,
and lecithin of the nerves. Oats form
the best balanced food to supply in
abundance what brains and bodies
require.

How Much of
This Difference is
:=.Due to Oatmeal?

We have canvassed hundreds of
homes which breed children like these
the wan and anemic, the red
checked and strong-the capable and
the deficient. Here are some of the
facts we found.
Among the ignorant of Our largest
cities not one home in twelve serves
oats, The teachers in those sections
find that the children lack the power
of concentration.
The physicians of those sections say
that the average child is nervous
that it natures undeveloped-that it
lacks mental and physical power.
The ranks of the incompetent are
largely recruited from these homes of
the underfed.

In After Years

A canvass of 81 poorhouses shows
that only one in each 13 of the in
mates came from oatmeal homes.
Two thirds of the boys in prison
schools never tasted oatmeal at home.
Not two per cent. of the prisoners in
four great penitentiaries had oatmeal
as childhood food.
But Our canvass proved that four
ffths of the college students come
from oatmeal homes. So do two
thirds of the teachers of children. So
do the great majority of the leaders
interviewed in every walk of life.
How much of this difference was due
to the food of youth?
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1910-11-27

Among the homes of the educated,
seven out of eight regularly serve oat-
meal.
We inquired of fifty professors in
one university and found but two who
don't serve it. We inquired by letter
of 1900 physicians, and we find that
four in each five serve oatmeal.
The average daily serving at the
finest hotels is one pound to each
eighteen guests.
Boston consumes % times as much
oatmeal per capita as do two certain
States where the average education is
lowest.
1t is everywhere apparent that the
consumption of oatmeal is directly in

For feet that are very sore or great

There are also heelless slippers OF

of the same model can be made of
suede. which affords rather more sup
port to the feet.
If a girl wishes to have rest slip

she may have them made OF the same

more elaborate footgear of similar
type she may embroider pongee, braid

procured from the cobbler who is to
attach them to soles.

The subject of cement construction
for homes has attracted much atten-
ton among architects in the last few
years, and on account of the popular
demand for such houses is bound to re-
main in the front. There is no ques
ton that the well-built cement house
is both economical and sanitary. It
is warm in winter and cool in sum-
mer. Now, lest there be some preju-
dice in the mind of any reader, it may
not be out of place to make little
reference to one of the aspects Of the
cement construction field that may
remove that prejudice, or help to, at
least. It is fact that some poor
work has been done, especially with
concrete blocks. A campaign was
made over the country few years
ago by the machinery men who had
concrete block machinery to sell urg-
ing every man to buy machine and
go into the business of making blocks.
Ailuring inducements even were Of
fered, and thousands Of men bought
machines who were no more fitted to
make concrete blocks as they should
be made, than they were to crochet
fancy work. The making of good
concrete, whether in the form of
blocks or in walls, is no boys job. It
requires intelligence, just as any con-
struction work does. Now, the con-
crete block should not be condemned
for what the offenders against it have
done 1t is human nature to judge
things by their worst aspects. And
the men who made blocks that absorb
water or crumble have done a great
mischief to the block. There are
throughout the country thousands of
we'll built concrete block houses that
will stand forever and are moisture
proof. But one poor house will create

Where Millions Are Entombed.

The catacombs at Rome were the
burial places of the early Christians.
They are about $50 miles in extent and
are said to have contained 100000
bodies. During the prosecutions of the
Christians under Nero and other Ro-
man emperors the catacombs were
used for hiding places. Under Diocle-
tan the catacombs were crowded with
those for whom there was no safety
in the face Of the day. The art of the
catacombs is unique and most inter
esting Simple designs are etched in
the slabs which seal the tombs. Now
and then are small chapels where
paintings are to be found. All are
Bible illustrations, so that the cata-
combs may be said to be pictorial

In Paris the theory that mans soul
and also woman's, is revealed by the
length, shape, inclination and spacing
of the teeth has been put forward by
certain dentist-physi cians, and society
is greedily grasping at the novelty.
The new method of dental divina-
ton" is declared to be much more GER
tain than palmistry, mind reading,
chronology or such old-fashioned di-
versions as fortune telling by cards
and teacups. One newspaper an
nounces that invitations are already
out for ''dentomacy seance>" Here
are some of the secrets" which the
new science" processes to lay bare:
Long. narrow teeth indicate vanity;
teeth small, separated and very white
are a certain sign of Inconsistency and
tickle character; long, irregular teeth,
projecting forward, are an index OF
avarice and egoism; small. uneven
teeth indicate an uncertain DISPOSE
ton, with a tendency to nervousness:
untruthfulness is shown by teeth
which crowd and overlap.

USES FOR RIBBONS
HERE FASHION HAS DRAWN THE
LINE TIGHTLY.
Each Season Demands Changes, the
Majority of Which Are Easily Ac-
compiished-CoIor Scheme Al
ways to Be Remembered.

1t might seem at first thought that
the correct use of ribbon is one of the
easiest things in life, but each season
different widths, if not of particular
kinds and qualities, all of which block
the way to success through past ex-
perience.
To say that the sash is to be worn
is not to mean necessarily the 12-inch
ribbon that meant sash" few years
ago; and to proclaim the hat with the
ribbon bow is not to tie any sort of
a little bow and believe ones self
walking the rope of fashion.
Fashion draws her rope tightly, and
makes little allowance for deviations
from its difficult way
The ribbon as sash is admitted
when in it's softest form it hangs in
| two long slim ends, very much as If 1t
were bias liberty. To accomplish this
effect the ends are tied sometimes
into knots, with end, and again into
actual bows, which weight them into
a graceful fall.
Ribbon may also be folded success
fully into the sash for the waist Cir
die, when, for this use, also, it is of a
liberty quality.
The hat bow of the season demands
breadth of ribbon and c1ispness of
quality.
Ribbon has been used successfully as
a tunic edge for the marquisette and
chiffon drapery of the figured foulard
gown, and it is the color touch on
many pretty garden party frock.
Here, if anywhere, is ribbon at its
best. The buttonholed slot provides
successful openings for the slipping in
and out of folded wide ribbons and OF
two-inch ribbon velvets. These are
used in gayest colors on the handsome
white or ecru frock and on the bower
sprigged or embroidered null and the
dotted swiss. Black or lavender rib
bons slipped into the natural eyelet
spaces in black and white embroid-
cred robes are an unusual treatment
of the summer frock for those who
wear light mourning.
Always successful as summer neck
ties are the medium widths of soft
ribbon, whether tied in a bow or
knotted into a four-in-hand.
Color enters largely into the sue
cessful use of ribbon, and not alone
are the brightest tones called into
requisition in the furnishing of hat
and gown. The French are fond of a
certain deep prune ribbon on black
hats, and the combination is not far
from ravishing so unusual is it. Black
ribbon on the dark blue hat or on the
gray hat is as successful as certain
combinations of black MORE ribbon
with burnt straw and with ecru raffia
fabric.
Changeable ribbons, last of all, be-
cause they are the newest and also
for reasons of convenience. Straws
are not easy to match and neither are
mat crials, and the two-toned ribbon
is frequently the only possible hat
trimming that will shade harmoni-
ously into both.
