While the remainder IF the COUP
try Is suffering very generally from
poor crops, the far west seems to be
more than holding it's own. Maine
is a notable exception, its crops
being practically normal, but some
other states are making very
poor showing because of drought.
The irrigated states are fortunate
in such seasons. Washington, Ore
gon, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming.
Utah California, Nevada, New
Mexico and Arizona are prospecting
and crops are good. Climatic con-
ditions doubtless account in large
part for this.

STRAWBERRY COCKTAILS.

Cut choice strawberries, thoroughly
chilled, in halves or quarters. Mix
with a combination of fruit juices,
lemon, orange, pineapple, ETC., and
one heaping tablespoonful of sugar.
Pour over the strawberries in cock
tail glasses. Wine is sometimes used
with fruit juice. Serve very cold as
first course at luncheon (often they
are surrounded with crushed ice).
Another method: Slice large, ripe
strawberries into cocktail glasses, al
lowing four to six to each person.
Remember, this is an appetizer, not
dessert. Put one heaping teaspoonful
of sugar in the center and squeeze
into each glass the strained juice OF
half a lemon.
Stand these in a cold place. AT
serving time add two tablespoonfuls
Of crushed ice.

in keeping the busiest sedentary
worker full of the Joy of living and

physical exercise as play. A pleas

will do a man more good than hours

THE ROAD TO BEAUTY
FOES TO BEAUTY.

That there are many physical foes
to beauty every one knows-wrong
food, bad ventilation, insufficient
sleep, and a host of other ills. They
will damage ones physical good
looks to a considerable extent. But
far more serious in their effects are
the mental foes to beauty For the
spirit is more than the body, and
what the face expresses is of more
moment than the shape Of the nose
or the brilliancy of the complexion.
The face, physically attractive, but
spoiled by it's expression, is familiar.
Many a girl with faultless features
and a rose-leaf complexion spoils all
their beauty by a peevish, discon-
tented, or vapid expression. On the
other hand. many girl with a snub
nose and a sallow complexion wins
all by the sunny lovableness of her
face. The EXPRESSION counts very
large in summing up the factors that
compose beauty
In the quest, then, for beauty that
so many women go upon ceaselesslv,
this matter of the value of mentality
should be taken into account. II
those who seek beauty will acquire
right mental states, they will do as
much, perhaps more, toward accom-
plishing their desire as they will by
securing the right masseuse or the
right facial cream.
The mental states that are foes 10
beauty are many. We all indulge IN
them more or less, and by so doing
