BRITISH PRODUCE STARTER

One of the most interesting develop

been announced in England, where an
apparently practical selft-starter for
aerial motors has been constructed.
The importance of this invention.
especially from the standpoint of the
military fiier, is most obvious. The
utter necessity for reasonable compact
ness and lightness in such mechanism
has been the principal stumbling block
to be overcome In meeting aeronautical

all there is of present luxury, enjoy
ing to the fullest the daintiness of the
service, the fine flavor of the viands,
the bouquet of the wines.
A woman, on the other hand, finds 1t
impossible to enjoy anything without
reserve. If she is eating turtle soup
and terrapin, she spoils it by dreading
some possible future time when she
may have nothing but corned beef and
cabbage, and if she can find no other
skeleton to sit beside her at the feast
she can always conjure up the dread
spectre of dyspepsia to threaten her
with unmentionable tortures at every
mouthful.
Another pertinent illustration of
how many more things it takes to
make a woman happy than it does a
man is afforded by the sorry spectacle
we see every day of the new rich try
ing to buy themselves into society.
When a plain man accumulates
fortune by hard work and thrift II
generally leaves him with simple ideas
of enjoying it.
He wants a good comfortable house
a good automobile, the best to eat and
drink; but he wants to stay in his old
neighborhood, among the people he has
lived with and liked for years.
But his wife's ideas are diametric
ally opposite. She feels that mere
money is dust and ashes, unless she

HAPPINESS IN SIMPLICITY
BY Dorothy Dix

One of the curious differences be-
tween men and women is the fact that
it takes so much more to make a
woman happy than it does man. 1t
was a masculine poet, you recall, who,
speaking for his sex, declared that
Man wants but little here below, nor
wants that little long" No one, not
even a poet, would be rash enough to
make such claim for woman. She
wants the earth, and the fulness there
of. Nothing less will satisfy her. And
she wants it forever.
Mans happiness is generally simple
Woman's is the most complex thing on
earth, and this popularity of the two
sexes manifests itself at every turn,
Take, for instance, such a common
thing as a good dinner. How very
seldom do you ever see a woman en-
joying one with the frank delight of a
man? He abandons himself to the
pleasure of the moment.
Yesterday he may have dined of
an adamantine ham sandwich, next
week he may be glad to get pork and
beans; but to-day he Is reveling in

Good Advice For Thin People

I'D certainly give most anything to
be able to gain a few pounds and stay
that way" declare many thin men and
women. Such a result is usually not
impossible despite past failures. Most
thin people are victims of MANU-
triton, condition which prevents the
fatty elements of food from being
taken up by the blood as they are
when the powers of nutrition are nor
NAL. Instead of getting into the blood
much of the fat and flesh producing
elements stay in the intestines until
they pass from the body as waste.
To correct this condition and to pro-
duce a healthy, normal amount of fat
the flesh-malling food elements must
be so prepared in the digestive proc
esses that the blood will accept and
distribute them throughout the body.

DAY IN BED SAID
TOBE VALUABLE
DR.. Dixon Gives Some
Thought Regarding Conser-
vation of Our Health

DIR. Samuel G. Dixon. State Com
missioner of Health, says that there is
an immense amount of benefit to be
gained by taking day off and going
to bed In one of his weekly talks on
health the commissioner says that
everyone must take a rest at some
time or other and that day in bed is
a fine plan.
This is the way he puts II:
There are times when everyone
realizes that they are on the verge of
an illness. The symptoms vary ac-
cording to the individual case but
whether it be a cold, grip. or ex-
haustion, nature usually has a way
of sounding a warning which is not
to be mistaken.
When danger signals are thus dis
played for our benefit in this fashion
there is one course of action which
will often prove effective, even at the
eleventh hour. A day in bed in a we'll
ventilated room with an extremely
light diet is frequently sufficient to
save one from a severe illness.
Rest is often one of natures
simplest and most effective aids to
healing and If taken in time may be
warranted far superior in its thera-
peutic effect to any quantity of drugs
taken after the damage is done.
An extremely light diet or a fast
for twenty-four hours serves the same
purpose in giving the digestive organs
a needed rest under such conditions.
A day or so in bed adhering to the
resolve not to allow the ordinary an
noyances and responsibilities of life
to interfere with ones complete
relation would often be of more value
than travelling long distances for a
change of climate.
There are some people who boast
of their ability to keep going regard
less of the warnings which nature
serves in times of danger. At times
they may be successful avoiding the
penalty but usually they have to pay
the piper"
Better a short voluntary rest now
and then than one enforced by a pro-
found disturbance of health as the
result of disregarding natures warn

on the exodus, and leads the march
away from the old home and the old
friends up into that frigid zone of
fashion where she never gets accli-
mated and lives in perpetual frost
Even in the inner life, this different
way of looking at happiness still holds
true. A man accepts happiness, when
it comes to him simply and without
question. A woman turns 1t round and
round, and thumps it and tests it to
see If it is really genuine, and she
isn't being taken in by a counterfeit.
She will never realize her ideal,

happiness as a complex thing. Life

Designed not only to look like an or

equipped with a false bottom that
serves to hold in folded position a
water-tight union suit which is at
tached in such a way that the bag and
suit act as a water-tight unit. In an
emergency all that is necessary is to
