TOMMY GIVES IN By LOUISE OLIVER.

Tommy was rebellious. "Oh, thun- der, don't want to get married"
 Mrs. Bottoms lorgnette went up. Thomas !"
 "Oh, well!' Tommy hung his head under her austere gaze. sWhy does every one have to pick on a fellow when he is having good time?"
 Because your father and I know what Is best for you. Marry Gene vieve Sawyer and you will be happy. Marry some silly chit without money, brains or breeding and you'll be sorry the rest of your life."

 q guess I'll go fishing!" Tommy lit a cigarette and stepped off the porch.
 Once out of sight, Tommy dug down for a leather pocketbook and from the neatly arranged bills and papers he f1shed a bit of rag. He held it tenderly in the palm of his hand for a minute, smiling reminiscently. It was thin white stuff embroidered in pink and blue daisies, with delicate tracery of green leaf. The edges were frayed and torn. He wondered where the girl was and who she was-the owner of the dress. He had found her in boat in little deserted cove at sunset, her engine gone dead.
 Tommy had chugged around the cor her and stopped.
 "Hellol' he called.

 "Thank you. If you'll put me off at the hotel, l can get my boat In the morning." She stood up and there was a sound of ripping and tear ing as one of the founces caught and held.
 "Oh, what rotten shamel" he sym pathized, reaching over and trying to help her extricate herself.
 'I can't help 1t and it's too late to 20 home for another" she said. "Pm dining with the Merricks and Alice can pin me up some way"
 Then he lost her! Next day he went to the hotel only to find that the Merricks had departed. He called him. self fool and everything else in the calendar for not finding out her name before.

Less Unemployment Likely
 In America in Near Future
 As Result of the Great War

At present. and in all probability in the near future, according to a re- port of a medical committee on social insurances reported in the American Medical Journal this country will have less and less unemployment, and there is no question that with the war and with the destruction of life and peo- pies in Europe, in the very countries from which, in recent years, this coun- try has drawn its vigorous unskilled la- bor, the immigration which has come to these shores so abundantly will enor- mously diminish, and there will be a dearth of labor and a rise in wages.
 At present, however, there is no question that even in good times the wage earners of this country are un- employed for from one-fifth to one fourth-20 to 25 per cent-of the work ing days of the year. Those who are dependent on their daily wages have thus to consider further diminution of what Is apparently their actual wage. All investigations on the amount of wages have shown that about four fifths of the men and nineteen-twenti- ethS of the women earn less than $500 year to support their families, and this amount of wage is not able, even in this country to support those fam flies on a fair standard of living. This { is one cause of the enormous mass of woman and child labor.

mites hysterical on the economy of foodstuffs, even to the extreme of con- fining themselves to maize (corn) diet instead of having well balanced diet with the variety of food that will not only stimulate the appetite and the digestive glands, but will meet natures demands.
 Man is an omniverous being. We can best eeonomize by eating what agrees with us. To resist tuberculosis and other wasting diseases and to keep in the best form for the working of our physical and mental body, particularly in these times of high nervous tension, we should have meat or some good vegetable protein as substitute in moderation once day.
 In addition to this we want fat, pref erably butter or cream or fats of ani- mals, the latter only cooked sufficiently to heat them through. With the pro- teins and fats We want carbohydrate (stareh or sugar).
 Today there are many diet lists be- ing given to the public worked up Into tables based upon their heat-producing power. The trouble with these diet re- ceipts is that they are based upon tests made upon those having perfect

One e-HaIf Cup of Milk.

Half cup of milk whole, skinned or sour-a seemingly tri- fling matter, hardly worth the trouble to keep or use.
 In many households quite a little milk is wasted, left uncovered in glasses, regarded as useless be- cause the cream has been skinned off, allowed to sour, poured down the sink or thrown out.
 Now, if every home. there are 20,OOO,OO0 of them, should waste on the average oae-half cup daily, it would mean a waste of 2,5OO,- 900 quarts daily, 9f24 45oo,Oo0 quarts a year, the total product of more than 100000 COWS.
 It takes lot of grass and grain to make that much milk, and an army of people to produce and de- liver it.
 But, every household doesn't waste half cup of milk dayf Well, say that one-half cup is vast ed in only one out of a hundred homes. Still intolerable, when milk is so nutritious, when skim milk can be used in making nutfi- tious soups and cereal dishes. when sour milk can be used in bread making or for cottage cheese.

digestion and a normal amount Of phy- sical exercise in a normal atmosphere.
 Life Is a factor scientific medicine cannot measure. It forbids the human body from being compared with an h. organic machine or test tube experf- ments in the laboratory.
 The digestive tract and its many glands that vary In their powers to prepare food for the assimilation of the body, are governed by the nervous system. They vary greatly in their life power to produce digestive secretions. For the reasons given each individual, after once realizing that meats, fat, various proportions to maintain his health, will have to make an intensive study of what digests, so as to give him the best health and keep up his weight to give him energy, and permit him to sleep, and to be of good cheer.
 You will always find that people diff fer from each other in their selection of foodstuffs, some doing we'll on large proportion of vegetable food, oth- CTS doing better on reasonable amount of meat and carbohydrates or starch, while others have to avoid starches and sugar to prevent violent indigestion and i'll health.
 We often find powerful men who live on very little food, while many frail, lily nourished people have good appe- tites and eat plenty. These things are hard to explain. The laws of nature are so profound that even today in this scientific age we find the digestion of people differs so that we must at pres ent attribute 1t to the variation of life force.
 From our actual experience in life, after long devotion to the feeding of people, we have learned that mixed diet Is essential to good health. The practical experience of the individual must be a factor in guiding him In the selection of foods and the quantity he can eat

Great Army of French War Aviators to Become Mail
 Carriers When Peace Comes

It is said that the French govern of army avlators, thousands upon thou sands of them, into rail carriers after the war.
 There are no technical difficulties in the way, according to the Toronto Mail and Empire" Airplane engines have been perfected to the highest de- gree of reliability; their speed has been developed marvelously. Nothing short of thick fog, violent thunder storm or a hurricane bordering almost on a tornado now serves to prevent f1ying-with rarely a casualty from natural causes.
 Indeed, the greatest defect in the army aerial service, according to off, cials in that branch, is overconfidence in what the airplane engine can do. Flights of six and eight and ten hours without replenishing the gasoline sup ply are now of common occurrence. Mountains can be scaled as if they were mounds under the foot of Brob- dingnagian. Aviators leave the Brit ish side of the channel and deposit pas sengers or messengers on the war front with no more sense of the unusual than If they had taken a steamer from Dover to Boulogne.
 The possibilities of mail carrying in difficult regions have not been thor oughly investigated, because only the demands for war efficiency have brought flying up to the point of de portability needed for general service The French government did establish some postal routes for airmen, but nothing on an extensive scale was adopted. Commercially, the utility of the fullest exploitation. Britain will have scores of thousands of expert aviators. and not many of these will abandon the "sport" which now is serv. ing the British armies so splendidly.
