severance can accomplish"

but have never yet come across one
thing"
well, then, I'll tell you one. Will

JAPANESE KNOTS.

The japanese have no use for buttons,
Bdckles or hooks and eyes. Cord serves
every purpose OF fastening and furnish
es artistic possibilities seemingly with

The japanese have hundreds of knots,
made necessary by the ornamental use
Of cord. Some are as old as the time
when history was recorded by a series
OF knots, just as 1t was In China and
Peru before writing was invented.
There are dozens OF knots in common
and ceremonial usage, and these every
child can tie.
In one educational museum of Japan
is great frame Of the most beautiful
knots, tied In silken and gold thread.
This had formed a par, of Japan's ex-

months this wonderful collection had
hung upon the wall and only two visit

There is only one way Of knotting a

THE ALBUMEN We NEED.
Foods That Produce II and How Ths>
Compare With Meat.

why do we eat meat? asks DR..

and he answers his question by saying,
First to supply the albumen necessary
to our bodies, then because meat is a
pleasant food. easily digested and as
simulated"
Many psychologists have estimated
the quantity of albumen necessary to
our systems and have given widely
differing figures, but today 1t is gen
orally held that one grain per day per
kilogram OF body weight is ample
that Is 20 say, that man weighing
100 pounds actually needs only be-
tween five and SIX ounces of albumen
"A day. Children and growing youths
need more. Meat, however, is not the
only food that is rich in albumen A
quarter OF Brie cheese, for instance,
contains as much albumen as half a
pound OF beefsteak. Lentils, peas and
beans are from 20 to % per cent albu-
men, which means that these vegeta-
bes are worth actually more than
steak and cost far less.
According to DIR. Claude. our daily
needs In the way of albumen can be
