For a week have faithfully
somershulted and the results far
exceed my expectations. With the
exception of a skinned ankle, a
couple of lame shoulders, a bruis-
ed back and black eye, they leave
nothing to be desired. You see,
somersaults and some are not!
MISS F. F. M.
Answer suppose you consult
ed DR.. Noah Webster on ways and
methods. DR.. Webster was all
wrong about somersaults, and any
one who adopts his method need
not come complaining to me. Som
ersaults are nice, comfortable, ap-
petizing rolls, and you can't pos
sibly skin, blacken, bruise or lame
anything just by rolling about on
the floor.
Magic Working with Food.
What precautions can one take
to prevent food from turning into
flesh instead Of turning into blood I?
B. J. F.
Answer-Eat less food, masticate
it more thoroughly, and include in
the diet a liberal allowance of
fresh green vegetables, relishes and
plain greens.
Blood Tests Made for Many Condi-
lions.
Is it true that blood tests are
made only for syphilis? Our fam
lily doctor sent me to a throat spe-
cialist to have my tonsils remov-
ed, and the specialist seemed to
think it was remarkable that had
not had my blood tested. 1 took it
up with the family doctor and he
declared that some specialists are
ultra-scientific to the point of alb
surdity. What is your opinion?
MISS B. r. L.
Answer-If your family doctor
is worthy Of your confidence at all
his advice regarding any blood
tests would certainly be better
than the advice of a throat spe-
cialist. Various tests or examina-
tons of the blood are made for
many different conditions.

HEALTH TAH K&
BY WILLIAM !!, - BRADY RAD no.

In that city of 10000 persons
there are at least 80 other health
experts equally competent to guard
the health of the people. Why not
make use OF their services, since
they are right there on the job all
The time?
Every reputable physician in
practice should be the health OFF,
Ger of his people.
AS a matter of plain common
sense, we can never hope to really
enjoy the benefits of efficient pub
lie health administration until ev-
cry reputable doctor is made as re-

many to be the greatest of all meat

preferred to beef liver and pigs and
sheep liver are also used, the lat
ter being much less expensive.
A Good Way 10 Raise Bread

never lack a towel to handle hot
pans and dishes.
When Using Dry Cheese, instead
