Iowa Falls, Aug. There appears 10
be growing sentiment among the
men interested in the bushes district
Of this city in favor of making the gas
olene stove an outlaw in the fire dis
trict. If this sentiment crystalizes as
now seems likely, the city council will
be asked to adopt an ordinance pro-
htbiting the use of gasolene stoves in
the congested business district of Iowa
Falls. 1t is felt that with public gas
available. great fire hazard can be
eliminated by requiring the use Of city
gas rather than dangerous gasolene
stoves. A recent fire there cost insur-

THE CHARM

The experience of Motherhood is try

woman in hundred is prepared or I'M
derstands how to properly care for her.
self. OF course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
Of caring for the child, and distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
nhappy and healthy mother Of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence Of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable

served in dainty cups will act differently
in the stomach. Nevertheless, such is the
case.
The sprig of parsley, the dash of nut
meg or paprika, the daintily served des-
sert, all play their parts in the digestibil-
ity of food. While they add nothing to
the food value, they create a pleasant
sensation that starts the digestive ma
chinery running so that it will grind up
the nourishing elements and make them
over into human energy and bodily
structure.
Have you ever noticed after eating at
a lunch counter at noon. where you may
consume a sandwich, piece of pie and a
glass of milk, that you have a heavy,
drowsy feeling that lasts nearly all the
afternoon? Yet upon another occasion
you will go out to luncheon and eat five
or six times as much food, richer and
heavier foods, at that, and feel no dis
tressing after effects.
The difference lies not in the quantity
or the quality of the food. but in the way
that the two luncheons are eaten. At the
first there was no service no attractive
silver, perhaps no tableclOth, no CONVEX

and an almost sure guarantee of a good

EATING WITH 4 SMILE
By G. HOUSTON GoUDISS

Are people dyspeptic because they are
peptic? In the light OF recent science it
would seem that most people are troubled
with indigestion because they are un-
happy while eating. Unless we are in q
buoyant, optimistic mood at meal times,
our food is likely to do us more harm
than good.
Unhappinsss worry, anger or Crouch
mess are the most powerful destroyers of
a good digestion. While under their In
fluence our digestive organs should not be
asked to work. Professor Paulow, the
great Russian scientist, through a num-
ber OF experiments upon the lower ami
mails. has conclusively proved that good
digestion waits upon appetite that pleas
ant sounds and an agreeable environment
have a great influence upon the flow of
the digestive juices.
II animals are so affected, how much
more sensitive are human beings to out
side influences of like nature. Surely,
1t behooves us TO stock up with cheer
fulness and pleasant words when meal
time comes around.

A Sunny Smile

One OF lifes little marvels is the Won
derful effect that a smile of the right
sort can have upon those whom he meet.
II we only knew just how much good
II may do we should always try to carry
such smiles with us on our daily path.
Some of the best work in this world
is done by people who would be amazed
to know that they were doing anything
out of their ordinary routine, and this
invigorating and gladdening Office OF
smiling kindly is an example.
Therefore, as the task is one within
the power of all. let us carry 1t out well
and cheerfully.
The girl who goes through the day with
kind word and a CHEEKY smile for all
whom she knows has much the same
good effect on others as has sunshine.
Hearts open to her as flowers do to the
sun
A warm. real smile, a friendly glance
OF sympathy, are the things that cost no
money. yet how powerful they are in
bringing courage and trust into life.
At best, life has hard moments and
difficult days, so each of us should do
what We can to brighten them or others;
by so doing we also brighten them for
ourselves.

The "Collapsible Man

There is certain type Of man whose

who can grow or contract to meet all re-
qurements. He is a human chameleon,
taking on the color of the nearest woman.

any hour to be her partner. The liter
AIRY person will find him ready at all
times. In short, he is ready to wait on
a woman, to laugh, to play with her,
to make love to her OF course. but never
to be serious. Girls meet these men every
day-the woods are full OF them. They
are sometimes very charming, but re-

or merely to attach a new victim. Don't

THE ADVANTAGES OF
BEING PLAIN LOOKING
Beauty May Sometimes ProOe Snare and Delu,ion

The ancient adase claims that beauty
is deceitful, and good looks but skin
deep. Yet almost every normal girl has
| at one time or another, yearned to be
beautiful, and II she be what is gen
orally termed plain" has probably shed
few tears over the fact.
1t is cold comfort to tell her that
beauty fades, for she would say, and
rightly, that this is true of all pleasant
thingsl Far wiser is ii to show her all
the possibilities that certainly do lurk
behind the plainest of appearances, and
at the same time point out few of the
undeniable compensations that can be
hers.
Youth in itself must always be a
beauty! Its dewy freshness, and it's
keen, unspoiled vivacity must ever have
the strongest of appeals. Then, too, at
this age so much is possible in the way
of softening effects and enhancing good
points.
The French. who understand the art
of being beautiful better than any other
people in the world, deny that any young
girl can be ugly-and they are right!
The plain girl will take the utmost
pains to make the best of herself, and
that is what many beauty does not
do. 1t is such a temptation to rely upon
a lovely face-and then be woefully dis
appointed when it fails one!
In the unromantc world of business,
a plain face Is by no means a disadvan-
tage. Upon the contrary! Business is
serious, and a pretty girl in an Office
may prove a distraction instead of

Around the Market

Food viewed from a digestible point
of view, shows some very interesting sur
prises.
Fish, for instance. is the most diges-
tible of animal foods Then come game
and poultry; then beef, mutton, pork and
veal in the order named.
Roasting renders all meats more diges-
tible than either boiling or frying White
fowl is to be preferred 10 game and fresh
fish to salted fish in this respect.
All milky products are more digestible
than any of the articles mentioned except
the fish, and boiled milk is better than
raw.
Cream is better than milk or cheese.
Eggs are good, when lightly cooked.
Vegetables should be steamed. \ boiled
potato is lacking in nutrItive qualities, a
potato steamed in its skin is delicious and
rich in nutrition. Do not forget, how
ever, that this requires twice the usual
time.
Fresh. green vegetables may be ranked
with poultry for case OF digestion, and
fruit is the most dgestible Of all.
