HEALTH HINTS

Here are some health principles
which were adopted at recent con.
Yention OF medical men. They deserve
plreful study and due observance.
1.-The control OF appetites and pas
sions: self control instead OF self-in-
diligence.
2-The use OF wholesome and nour.
ishing foods containing the necessary
food elements in proper proportion.
3-Abstinence from the use of aIco.
hol and tobacco. tea and coffee, rich
and highly seasoned foods, irritating
spices and condiments.
A-The limited use OF pastry foods
and sugar.
5-simplicity in variety and amount
and the scientific combination and
preparation OF foods.
6-Proper clothing OF the body as re
lates to warmth, protection, stmplict-
ty and modesty,. avoiding constructions
and improperly adjusted weights.
7-sufftcient and appropriate exer.

And still 1t was June, and Betty wore
the most enhancing, fluffy gowns to
work, absolutely urbusincss-like. Also
when there was not immediate work
to do, dictation. tipping, etc, she would
bring forth some absurd but engrossing

on it under his very eyes.
Likewise, at the lunch hour, Betty
had tiny electric contrivance which
sho calmly applied to the company's
switch, and on which she managed
some how to concoct the dalntiest and
most unexpected Of luncheon dishes,
since there was 10 good restaurant in
radius of mile. And then she would
invite him to partake, always includ-
ing good old Jim. the bookkeeper. as
chaperon. Ifhe had not known Betty's
frank aversion tn him he would almost
have accused her in his own mind of
deliberately trying to take that SAME
mind away from serious aims ana
making it concentrate on Betty.
So ono night toward the end of
June, when they had worked overtime,
