What S in a Name?

IRMA.

Irma Is one of the many feminine
names derived from Teutonic myth

In Italy. however, the name Err

had already received Irmin and had
proceeded to give it various inter-
pretations. until a certain Hermen-
burga was discovered among the
royal princesses. This lady was
offered in marriage to Frank

Ermesinda was the name of the
lady who carried the blue blood of

THE CREOLE TYPE.

The word Creole has been UScd TO
mean various sorts of things, but
when you read of the Creole type of
beauty you are safe to assume that
the author has in mind that beauty
characteristic of the most charming
of the women of Spanish ancestry
living in one of the colonies of the
Western Hemisphere. though prop
,rly it may be applied to those of
Portuguese or French stock.
Josephine. the first wife of Napo-
leon Bonaparte. is perhaps the best
known of all Creoles and sometimes
those who read that she was a Gre
ole imagine that this means that a
strain of negro blood cOursed
through her veins. But this is. of
course. far from the fact. 1t is only
within recent times in our own
country, and then enormously, that
Creole has been used to indicate this
type of person.
IL is the Frenchman who seems
most ardently to admire the Creole
type of woman. He finds her ire
sistible. Napoleon was a Corsican,
to be sure, but he fell a victim to
the charms of Josephine, although
she was 6 years older than he. Her
charm lay in her general appear

of Josephine, says of her mother on
the day when Napoleon was acclaim
ed first consul: "She was really
charming at the time, with her slen-
der figure and her beautiful fair
hair. her soft. big eyes and her

told whether she was French or
Creole"

Not What They Seem!

What? Many things. milk or fruit
Juice for instance. The uninitiated
may drink milk believing it to be
included under the head of liquid
diet, only to find themselves suffer-
ing from acute indigestion. because
milk in the body Is a solid-a very
solid. The water which makes up
nine-tenths of its bulk is promptly
absorbed or eliminated through the
skin and kidneys, and the material
left is very similar to cheese and
hard to digest. 1t is a perfect food,
rich in all food values for the per-
son up and exercising. but for the
invalid whose digestive apparatus is
not up to par, it would be much
better to give a large piece of beef.
That. in fact. would be a good way
to decide, May my patient have
milk" by asking yourself at the
same time, May he eat roast beef?"
So many persons who should go on
a milk diet refuse to do so, saying 81
am working. / need something to
sustain me. / cannot get enough
Never were they further from the
dietetic facts.
Another delusion: No. / cannot
eat fruits, they are too acid. / have
rheumatism. uric acid, what-not,
ETC." Fruit juices actually reduce
acidity of the blood and urine by a
chemical change which takes place
inside the body when the organic
salts of the fruit combine with the
alkaline salts OF the body and form
an alkaline carbonate. So just re-
member that things are not what
they seem" once they get into that

Certainly not. During the war
some of our finest young men joined
the navy to fight for us and many
of them have remained in the serv-
ice. Years ago the general public
was of the opinion that sailors were
all bad lot" Their opinion was
based upon the fact that many n'er-
do-wells did run away and join the
navy, but anyone who has served
with these boys knows that their
life is not one of ease. However
you are rather young to be serious
ly interested in young man,
