attention was puid to this subject.
Later scientific men learned that in
gout, also rheumatism, tho kidneys do
not work properly to throw Oft the uric

crystals are deposited in and about

The Worlds Highest Paid Woman

n NE OF the interesting and valuable
lessons that the war is teaching
US is the effect that clothc, have
on us.
As regards clothes, people have main
ly been divided into two ClaSscs-thuse
who held that the purpose of clothes
was merely to cover their nakcdncSs
and keep them warm IN winter and cool
in summer. and il was matter OF small
importance how they looked and those
who believe that the purpose OF clothes
was 10 minister 10 ones vanity and
that neither comfort nor use mattcred
50 long as they were beautiful.
The Two Extremes.
The result OF this controversy ha,
been that part Of our fellow creatures
have paid too little attention 10 their
clothes and have gope about Slouchy
and sloppy and looking like human
rag bags, while others have paid too
much attention TO their cohteS and
have spent too much time and thought
and money turning themselves into liv-
ing fashion plates.
Both the under dressed and the
over-dressed have thought Of
clothes merely in terms OF their
bodies, They have not considered
the way they dressed as II reacted
on their characters, and yet the
moral effect of a coat on o man or
irock on woman IL far more
important than whether the garment
becomes his or her complexion. 1t
has been said, "As a man thinks, so
il he" 1t may be said with equal
truthfulness that as man dresses,
so will he be.
We could hayc no more vivid illus
tratlon Of this than has been afforded
by our volunteer army who by the
mere putting on of uniform appear
to have acquired automatically strength,
stamina and backbone-all Of those IN
tangible qualities that we Jumped into
the world manllncSS.
Failed to Know Them.
So great has been the transformation
wrought by a suit of khaki that we
have actually failed to recognize at first
sight boys with whom we have been ac-
Quaintcd all OF their lives.
There was Jimmie Johnson, round
shouldcred and flat chested, and whose
knees always appeared to wabble as he
walked, Jimmies clothes always looked
as If he slept in them. and he had a
general air of going to seed and OF be
ing too lazy and shiftless to care il he
did But Jimmie in his new uniform is
butterfly emerged from the chrySaliS
Trim, trig and taut, buttoned up to the
chin, with polished putteeS and every
buckle shining, he has squared his
shoulders, stuck out his chest and held
up his head for the first time in his
life, because he's trying to live up to
that soldiers coat he's got on.
And there's Percy Perkins, who has
always been a sissy sort of a chap
who ran to silk pajamas and four dol
lar neckties and embroidered things
generally and hadn't spunk enough to
say scat" TO a cat Somehow Percy's
foolish little artiiicialltieS and senti-
mentalities dropped from him like an
out grown garment when he put on his
soldiers uniform
There's just something Of sweat
and blood, strain and struggle,
heroism and high endeavor and
danger and death that is so inter
woven into the very fabric OF that

Serving Stones Cake is practicing
it-these are the days that cal!
for clear heads and strong hearts.
Choice of food-a well-bananced
diet-and an avoidance of over-eat-
ing make for physical strength and
mental activity.
Stones Cakes are rick in food
value; made Of high quality flour,
sugar, pure butter and fresh eggs,
they combine a well-balanced ration
in one cake. For instance, liberal
portions of STONES CAKE and
strawberries from a delightful and
nutritious lunch, and the price for
the average family is much lower
than a regular meal, and equally
satisfying.
Omit two dishes from your menu;
serve STONES CAKES instead.
and see if the family is not better
pleased.
Buy STONES CAKES because
they are better. Serve them often
because they are cheaper. Six varie-
ties, selling at 13c each, 2 for Csc.
