WHAT a GREAT VIOLINIST
THINKS OF AMERICAN WOMEN

In the March Woman's Home Com
panion Mary Heaton Worse has a story
about a great violinist, who says that
American women are "inhuman."
do you know what to me is the
most terrible sight in all New York;"
he asks. Worse than, the pitiable
procession of little girls up Broadway?
1t is the women in the foyer of the
opera. When look at them it is with
pity and with dismay, and finally with
terror, How can there be so many
women. 1 ask myself, who look so in
human? oh, the splendor of their
perfection, how terrible it is. One
after another, one after another, 1 see
lhem: early middle-age and middle
age, calm and magnificent, their too
abundant flesh carefully corseted, their
arms and bosoms shining, every detail
of them speaking how they live in the
realm of the body, and how much
thought and time it has taken to give
them that special aspect of perfection.
One knows how they live, how shell
tered are they from every uncomfort-
able physical sensation. They shrink
from discomfort more shudderingly
than a Drawer race shrinks from
pain"

DELICATE CHILDREN
NEED EXERCISE

THE question of exercise for the
delicate child is one that should re-
ceive a great deal of thought and at
tention," says DR.. Roger II. bennett in
the March Woman's Home Compan-
ion Fatigue must be avoided but
the proper amount of exercise is alb
solutely necessary. In the city, delicate
children are often taken upon long
walks over the pavements, and be-
come thoroughly tired from too much
eXertion. The ideal method of getting
exercise in in play. If there is some-
thing to stimulate the interest in the
play and make the exercise entertain
ing, particularly the association with
other children, one need not worry
about the delicate child'S getting too
much exercise.
1T is a serious matter to advise TAX
ing children out of school or to delay
the beginning of their education, and
advice upon this subject should never
be given without carefully considering
all sides of the problem; but in spite
of the great Importance of education,
health is first to be considered. Deli
cate children should be taken out of
found that they are failing in health.
Nowadays, in many of the cities, fresh
air schools are popular and this often
helps in deciding the problem. Even
delicate children may attend an out
door school all winter with only few
days interruption in the severest
weather. The notoriously bad air of
many schools is thus done away with,
and it is remarkable how alert the
child's mind is. when he is studying in
the omen air"

SLEEP ESSENTIAL
FOR DELICATE CHILDREN

In the March Woman's Home COM
panion is an interesting article by
Roger II. bennett, M. D.. on how to
bring up delicate" children, of whom
there seem to be large number in
this country. Among other things, he
says:
Although delicate children do not
require any more sleep than healthy
children, they often get less, and their
sleep may be interrupted by dreams
and other manifestations of their
nervousmake-up. 1t is particularly de-
sirable that such children should be
put to bed early in the evening, at
least by o'clock, before they are al
lowed to become excited by callers or
even the usual family life. A nap
should be insisted upon each day, and
even if the child will not sleep, he
should be required to lie down after
the noon meal, for at least an hour"

THE "BARRELv SKIRT.

AT the very moment when fash
ionable skirts are comfortable" says
Grace Margaret Gould in the March
Woman's Home Companion, there is
talk of the barrel skirt. This is the
old peg-top idea, you know, the skirt
that bulges out like O barrel and
grows narrower toward the hem. Cal
lot, over year ago, showed it, but at
that time it attracted little attention.
by way of description, let me say
the barrel skirt is made of only two
breadths of material, .gored at the top
and bottom, with seam at each side.
The goring gives the curved line of
the barrel"

VALUE OF SKIMMILK.
Much Cheaper and More Nourishing
Than Round Steak

Skimmilk is Il very economical food
which should be more largely used. 1t
is the same as whole milk except that
the butter fat has been taken from it.
In skimmilk there remains all the sug-
ar. about four and one-half parts in
every one hundred. all of the mineral
salts, all of the protein. The protein
is the most valuable constituent of
milk. 1t not only serves as fuel for
the body as does the fat and sugars.
but supplies heterogeneous. tissue build
ing material.
Skimmilk should be classed, as whole
milk is, with eggs, meat. fish. poultry
and cheese. The governments food
experts praise skimmilk and give US
these interesting figures to show its
value:
Two and a half quarts of skimmilk
contain almost as much protein and
yield about the same amount of en-
ergy as a pound Of round Of beef.
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1917-01-10

When sKimmiIK sells Tor 4 cents Il
quart, or about 2 cents pound, and
round Of beef for 20 cents a pound, a
dime spent for skimmilk will provide
nearly twice as much nourishment as
it will If spent for round steak.
When milk sours normally it still re-
mains good food. 1t is not suitable for
the baby, but it will make good smear
case, or cottage cheese, one Of the best
of foods.-New York Mail
