Choice of Vegetables.

Selection of the vegetables for din
ner has much 70 do with the success
of a meal. Those which resemble each
other should be avoided, as SQUASH
sweet potatoes and parsnips, and with
these pumpkin pie should be omitted;
also. more than one vegetable reQuir
ing the same kind of dressing, as
creamed cabbage and creamed Carrots
or a vinegar dressing as caboages'
beets and spinach. Variety in fiavors'
rather than those that bear near re-
lation to each other, gives the most
satisfactory results.

Damask Lunch Cloths.

Some of the newest lunch cloths
are being shown of embroidered
damask The material itself is IN
figured, but the embroidery is usually
elaborate. A very silky mercerized
cotton is employed for working out
the design, and this, with the soft
sheen of the damask, makes very
rich cloth almost too pretty for table
use. These cloths are more practical
when made in the size of large CEN
terpiece for then the individual plate
and tumbler doilies of plain lace
edged damask can be used to protect
the polished table surface and are
more easily Numbered than the heaw
lily embroidered cover.

Strengthening the heel is invaluable
in knitting socks and stockings, es-
pecially in the socks knitted now for
army use. The method recommended
as being the best by many authorities
is to knit in thread of silk. This is

contract as is the double wool Silk

haustion, or even of pronounced fatigue.
Otherwise, the system will be loaded with
fatigue poisons, which will render the
exercised even worse than the sedentary
state.
Anything and everything that moves
the muscles is good eXercise-if it be done
in the open air or in well ventilated room
and more especially if it gives pleasure.
Some simple bending exercises, night and
morning, which give the intestinal muscles
thorough shaking up, are good. But
the exercise will be far more beneficial if
it can be secured in bowling, game of
tennis, or in some play combining real
pleasure with the exercise
All straining feats-such as heavy
dumb-bell lifting, exhausting runs, or an
excessive indulgence in the one-step or
tango-should be avoided, as they are
quite likely to produce serious or even
incurable injuries.
A judicious amount of moderation, and
not too much of any one form of motion,
is the most desirable method of exercising

What Shall | Do About Buying
a Farm Mortgage?
By ALBERT w. ATWOOD
By ALBERT w. ATWOOD

mortgages from dealers, and only from
dealers who have years of experience and
a high standing in their own community.
There are scores, perhaps hundreds, of
such dealers throughout the country, and
a dollar for their clients. Insurance COM
panes buy hundreds of millions of dollars
worth of farm mortgages, and. they have
lost practically nothing in the last thirty
years.
Even among the most honest and ex-
perienced firms that deal in stocks and
bonds there are practically none that have
never been in unsuccessful ventures. In
fact, to deal in bonds and stocks on
large scale and pick out only winners
would require superhuman ability, where
as to pick out safe farm mortgages is
quite another matter. Any one who will
give this a moments thought will see the
reason. Our great corporations are big
and complicated, and affected by so many
factors that it is beyond the power of
man to predict exactly the outcome in any
given case. But farm is simpler. Hon
esty, skill, experience, and hard work on
the part of the dealer are equal to the
task. He is able to judge the value of the
farm and find out whether the owner is
reasonably competent.
y The next time you are tempted to buy
stock in some venture whose commercial
success has not as yet actually been real
lied, stop a moment and ask yourself
whether what you really require is not a
sure per cent. principal intact rather
than chance of big profits along with
chance of total loss. If you answer that
question in the affirmative, ask your. local
bank for the address of good dealer in
farm mortgages.

How Can | Get Exercise When |
Work in an Office All Day?
By EDWIN F. BOWERS, MD.

A YOUNG woman whose work confines
~ her to a desk all day, asks me how
she can keep herself physically fit.
Muscles, as well as the moral sense,
grow but by exercise. Failing to get their
fair share of this, they grow smaller and
weaker; they become functionally more
and more inefficient.
To illustrate A young woman COM
plains of weak back or of "chronic
backache.' Ordinarily the physician
might suspect that these symptoms We're
due to some reflex condition--some de-
rangement of the internal organs.
Muscles Are Weakened by Disuse
VET, as likely as not, this girl may, as
consequence of sitting at her work for
hours every day and neglecting to give
the muscles of the back adequate exercise,
have produced weakened condition of
these muscles which causes them to cry
out for help when unsupported for any
length of time. A similar condition may
obtain as result of the muscles being
rendered faccid and inefficient because
of the continuous wearing of constructing,
upport-destroying corsets.
Indeed, to take another instance, it is
highly probable that the old saying
that "it hurts him to laugh" may be
scientifically true. For, if one used the
laughing muscles seldom or never, they
actually would hurt when a hearty laugh
was forced through them.
These hints will indicate what exercise
should consist in and of. Simple reason
demands that girl who has to stand long
hours each day should not attempt to walk
to and from her work. A half hours ride
in ar open car or on top of bus-breath-
ing deeply the while-would be the finest
and most eminently sufficient exercise

land devoted to agricultural purposes,
most emphatic general answer OF no would
be in order. But a mortgage is a horse
of different color.
The reason so much money is lost in i'll
advised "investments' is because people
do not distinguish between investment on
the one hand, and speculation or business
ventures on the other. A person may
make several hundred per cent. through
the purchase and operation of a business
or agricultural enterprise or by the mere
purchase of shares of stock. But such a
person really invests great deal more
than money. What is put in is an as
sumption of risk. Now, it does not take
training in banking or political economy
to tell the difference between a sound,
conservative investment and business
venture. 1t is neither an academic nor
technical distinction. 1t can be made by
child, almost. The trouble is that people
are not contented with safety and mod
crate rate of interest. They foolishly want
safety, and fortune along with it, They
simply won't face the inexorable facts.

A Loan, Not an Investment

7 SAY that if my correspondent had been
urged to buy an orange grove, would
answer, no. Not because orange groves
are not valuable property, but to own an
orange grove one ought to know some
thing about it, and this particular woman
doesn't. All she wants is to make her
money earn reasonable return for her,
and be safe in the process. There is one
word in the English language that fairly
we'll covers these requirements: that is
the word loan. In other words, what she
should do is not to buy property, but lend
money to people who use property.
The general answer to any one who
asks whether farm mortgage is a suitable
investment is most decidedly, yes. There
are one or two exceptions to be noted.
A farm mortgage is not suitable for those
who are likely to need money at any mo-
ment. 1t is not a marketable security.
Farm mortgages are sold, but they are
not resold. And there are other forms of
security upon which it is easier to borrow.
The farm mortgage is intended for the
investor whose sole idea is to get fair
rate of interest, absolutely certain from
the start, and to get back the principal
intact at the end of two, three or five
years. If you can afford to lock up sew
eral thousand dollars for few years, then
buy farm mortgage and forget it.
Naturally, loans for two and three
years, or even for five years, do not tluc-
tuate in price. There is nothing to be
made in the way of profit. There is the
5, 6, or per cent, as the case may be, and
a hundred cents on the dollar back at the
end of few years, and nothing more.
OF course, a person unfamiliar with
farming or with the mortgage business
can not go right out into the country and
buy any mortgage. That would be sui
cidal. Without implying any criticism of
the bulk of our most important producers,
the farmers, it is matter of common
knowledge that many farms are run with
a maximum of insfficiency.
People who are unfamiliar with the
business of farming should buy farm
