The tremendous Importance of health
and beauty of a well organized color
sense can only be superficially entered
into here, but it is now a scientifically
established fact that those in whom this
faculty, IL we may SO term It, is most
highly developed, possess a great amount
Of pigment in their bodies and are the
most productive, especially in the arts.
This is precisely what may be ex-
pected, for nature intended 1t primarily
for our use to give US health, yigor, tone
and beauty, and secondarily to repro
duce by man the same principles in the
arts and industries. We all know that
rich, green vegetation denotes life and
health, whereas a yellow hue indicates
overripeness or decay. A sickly plant
is pale or yellow; a human being who is
constitutionally pallid may not be sickly,
but he is assuredly not so useful to him
self and the world as one with a bril-
liant colorature.
Everyone knows that those who pass
most of their time in the open air have
superior coloring and health to those
closely confined. It goes without saying
then, that fresh, pure air Is the best
cosmetic and tonic. The highest-fying
birds and those that pass their time In
pure atmospheres are more brilliantly
colored than the marsh birds that never
fly high.
The color acquired by an out-of-door
life, or by exercise or activity In the
open, gives vigor to the blood, owing
to the large amount OF oxygen and cleo
tricity inhaled through the lungs and
skin This purified blood is carried to
all parts of the body, rebuilding the
tissues upon a more healthful and sound
basis. The haemaglobin or iron IN the
blood dtself strong pigmenb takes the
oxygen from the atmosphere and car
ries It as vividly red, buoyant blood to
all parts Of the organism. II the blood
Is thin and pale, IL It is poor in iron, it
carries little oxygen, and the body re-
mains weak, pallid and destitute of force
energy.
As color Is also created IN the body
by the action Of the glands In extract
Ing the proper elements from the foods
ingested, 1t follows that II these glands
are defective they cannot convert the
nourishment contained in the food into
health and vigor. Hence the necessity
for those who lack Color and strength
| to live out Of doors as much as possible

HOUSEWIVES DAILY
ECONOMY CALENDAR
When You Give a Luncheon.
By FRANCES MARSHALL

when you plan the daily meals for
your household there are three things
you consider. They are these, and
you consider them in the order given:
]. The amount Of money you can sf-
ford to spend
2. The nutritive value Of the food
.. Its aesthetic qualities.
Sometimes the third consideration
takes very little attention The other
two practically decide the character Of
the food, and unless you are willing
TO give extra time to planning and
preparing the meals. their aesthetic
quality is neglected.
When you give a luncheon or din
ner. the same three considerations are
taken up. But their order is changed.
1t goes like this:
/. What you can AFFORD to spend.
2. Aesthetic qualities.
3. NUtritive value of food.
And again the third consideration
is often almost neglected. For II we
plan a meal that tempts the appetite
and appeals to the Imagination. and
at the same time keeps within our
allotted money. We think we have
done pretty well whether or not the
food has much nutritive value.
OF course, the most accomplished
housekeeper is the one who considers
each of the three parts of the meal
she plans. To be sure. Il is well to
consider first the aesthetic value of a
dinner party or luncheon Our guests
expect something a little out of the
ordinary and we should give Il TO
them.
Remember. always, that Il is quite
possible to give the most nourishing
and inexpensive food the appearances
and favor that make IL tempting to
the appetite and eye. II you remem-
Der this, you will not be in danger of
making your everyday dinners unin-
vitingly substantial. nor your party
luncheons aesthetically unnourishing

Answers to Queries,

Sorrow: Many find solance for grief
only In religion. Do not expect too
much from your friends. Each heart has
Its own sorrow. By no means use drugs.
Go out in the open. Drink deeply of

assuage your pain and bring back cheer
fullness and light in place of gloom.
Time Is natures great consoler.
Only Twelve: You are at a most sensa-
tive age. By and by, when you attain
height, your hands and feet will not
trouble you. They may then even be
smaller than those of your sisters. Do

of hiding these useful members, show

VETERANS ASK THAT MARCHING ON FOOT
 BE ELIMINATED

At the regular meeting of Camp Har- dee held recently much interest was manifested in the arrangements being made by the Chamber of Commerce and other civic bodies and the several committees appointed who have in charge the entertainment of the vis- itors who may attend the reunion. The hope was expressed that the impress sion not be permitted to go abroad that the tents and cots loaned by the state will be the manner of caring for and housing the visiting veterans The tents will be provided only for emer- gencies or for those veterans who may prefer-to use the tents.
 It was also urged that the commit tees be asked to provide automobiles and carriages for the use of the vet erans in the parades and that the marching on foot be eliminated from the programme
 letter was read from Chief Mar shal McCrossin inviting all veterans in this section to join the Elks and at tend the minstrel show to be given al the Jefferson theatre on the Esd, stat fng that the proceeds arising from this show will be equally diwided between the Elks and the expenses of the re- union in May.

New York.

 Although this was not his first visit. by any means, quite naturally, he re- ceived the impression that, at that par ticular time, New York city was one of the most bespattered municipalities he had ever visited-and he wasn't thinking about the subway graft, either.
 Yes, we claim payings and cleanliness, but just then there were sections of Broadway, and even of the immaculate avenue which had the Culebra cut look ing like Dry creek before the advent of the rainy season.

ENSLEY MAN SAYS
 HE GAINED B LBS.
 ON FIVE BOTTLES
Took Last Dose of Tanlac a Month Ago and Feels as Well as He Did Day He
 Quit Taking It

One month ago I finished up my fifth bottle of Tanlac. l had gained 2S pounds on the medicine and felt as we'll and as strong as l ever did in my life, so I quit taking it. Today I feel just as well as did the day I took my last dose, and l haven't lost a pound of what I gained am satisfied that the benefit I have gotten from Tanlac is permanent"
 The above statement was made few days ago to the Tanlac representative by H. Fl. Hice, who resides at 25OO Avenue G. Ensley. MT. Hice is one of the best known young men of Ensley and is em- ployed as engineer by the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company.
 About a year ago." continued MT Hice. T began to go down hill. I suf- fered from stomach trouble and fell of from 1sO pounds to 157 pounds. I also lost strength, became very nervous anc couldn't sleep well. I tried most every kind of medicine ever heard or read of. but nothing did me any good.
 T thought possibly if I would go to my old home in the country it would help me, for I knew I would get plenty oi fresh air, rest and home cooking there but that, too, failed to do me any good and I returned to Ensley.
 ''I had read and heard so much about Tanlac made up my mind to try 1t, so went to the D. w. Morris Drug Store
 
 The first thing I knew my appetite had picked up wonderfully and I was eating most everything placed on the table be- fore me. Everything agreed with me perfectly and I began to sleep good al night, and every morning I would get ur feeling well and strong and like entering upon big days work. just kept up the treatment and it looked like I was talk ing on more flesh every day. At the time I quit taking it weighed 1S0 pounds which is my normal weight, and 23 pounds more than I weighed when I began talk ing the medicine.
 T tell you, Tanlac has made an en. tirely new man of me, and you don't know how thankful I am for what Il has done for me. The public ought to be mighty glad that such a medicine as Tan lac has been put on the market"
 Tanlae is sold in Birmingham exclu, sively by Eugene Jacobs Drug Store and Patton-Pope Drug Co.,; in Ensley by the D. W. Morris Drug Co.,; in Bessemer by the Pegram-Patton Drug Co.,; North Bir- n1ingham, Walker Drug Co.,, and Pratt City, Gale Drug Co.-Adv.
