Here is M. Josephine Us reply to
the questions about the bran and
honey:
Bran" she declares, "enlarges
the glands of the stomach, making
the digestive juices act more freely.
For gastric trouble eat bran in its
natural state. Whip up In the
white of an egg with a generous
pinch of salt; then beat In the egg
two tablespoonfuls OF honey. Put
this on two tablespoonfuls of bran
and eat twice daily. The honey
heals and the egg puts a new coat
ing on the stomach.
For constipation mako bran
bread and stop eating white bread.
II you cannot be sure of getting
bran in the small stores try the big
ones.
Bran may be soaked in water for
q few hours and then eaten with
marmalade or jam. 1t Is very pleas
ing. Or 1t may be eaten with milk
or maple syrup"

Stout Women and Clothes

saleswoman try to convince a stout
customer that a suit or gown exactly
suited her?
Probably the gown was designed
for slim and youthful figure, and,
although by dint of much patting and
pulling the large size chosen could be
made to cover the customer in ques-
ton, 1t was obviously not designed for
a woman of her size, says an ex-
change.
Now, however, there are adapta-
lions of the newest French models
made in extra large sizes, especially
for large women who desire to have
ready made frocks and suits. This is
new departure. and one that will be
appreciated by the woman who is no
longer slim.

How Is Your Blood Pressure?

One of the more recent subjects or
extreme interest engaging the earnest
study of those whose work II Is
especially to conserve our health, Is
that of blood pressure. In chlldhood'
youth and early adult life, While gen
eral conditions favorable to health
obtain, life being naturally upon the
upgrade the blood pressure remains
normally low. AS life lengthens the
blood vessels become less elastic, and
with vicious habits of eating, drink
ing, smoking, stress of business and
social cares, late hours with heavy
midnight dinners and after dinner
speaking, etc, combined with the ma
tural, involutional, down-grade tend
ency, the blood pressure rises. SO
there has come into current use the
adage, "A man is as old as his ar
teries" In this sense man at forty
may be as old as another is, or as he
himself ought to be, at eighty.
Worry Is ofen mentioned as one or
the causes producing high arterial
tension, says Dr. Albert S, Barnes in
the Mothers Magazine. Anger, the
habit of becoming too easily irritated,
is a menace to some. 1t keeps them
in more or less frequent and in longer
or shorter periods Of mental turmoil.
Responding to disturbances of their
vasomotor nerves, the blood vessels
of the brain become too frequently
surcharged with blood, thus produc-
ing needless wear and tear. The
nervous energy so consumed (and
worse than wasted) may be con-
sidered as so much subtracted from
the sum total of ones possible busi-
ness efficiency. He is not so we'll able
to transact difficult business mat
ter in it's delicate complications when
in a state of nervous irritation or
mental instability. He who would
master others and the difficult prob
lens they present must first be mas
ter of himself. Loss of temper fur
nishes an easy inroad to the an
tagonist.

Her Silver Wedding
Dear Miss Doom:

Dear Miss Doom:
The latter part of this month the
twenty-fifth anniversary of my
wedding will occur, and thought 1t
would be very nice to celebrate the
occasion.
l have never been to a party of
this sort, therefore do not know
certain things, which I would like
you to explain to me-
What kind of dress do you think
would be appropriate for me to
wear? How should the house be
decorated, and how should the
guests be received? Thanking you
in advance. MRS. ~.
Decorate the house in such a
manner that everything is as sill
very as possible. Silver tinsel of
the sort which is used ON Christ
mas trees may be twined about
the chandelier. Let strands of it
reach to the corners and sides of
the table and festoon it along the
sides of the table. In the centre OF
the table have a vase or bowl filled
with white roses.
Flags, flowers, butterflies, love
knots and many other novelties in
silver paper are now sold for silver
wedding anniversaries. These make
a delightful trimming when they
can De ODIdlneQ, anu indIiy VI lnC
pretty conceits can be readily
copied with the aid of silver paper,
mucilage and wire.
On the silver flags, whether
bought or made at home, be sure
to have the two dates painted in
color and display them in prom
inent positions all around the fes-
tive rooms.
1t would be nice to have wedding
cake boxes, white, with silver rib
bons, for distribution among your
friends. Have the boxes piled on
side table, where guests may help
themselves.
I'd wear simple white gown, il
! were you. This will suggest bridal
attire. You may receive your guests
informally as they arrive or have
ushers bring them to you and your
husband for formal congratulations.
Serve refreshments buffet style.
They need not be elaborate. Chicken
salad or creamed oysters, thin sand
witches, olives, sailed nuts, cake.
bonbons. ice cream and coffee will
do nicely.

Walnut juice is the most obstinate
