Charlotte Of Savoy. who married
Louis NI. introduced her name to
French royalty. whence it Travelled

The Spanish make Lola from the

derived, was popular in Germany
and was brought to England by
the wife of George II. who gave
it vogue among the nobility.
The lovely mysterious lapis lazuIi

bunch Of autumn foliage which he
carried over his shoulder.
Just as Uncle WiggiIy and the
animal children were leaving the
forest with their branches Of au-

had run on ahead. came racing soft
ly back, whispering:
on. Uncle WIEgiiy. The biz

(which big bear asked the
bunny gentleman

Dear me- exclaimed the bunny.

Il know how" quickly whispered
Susie. When we carried the
punches of leaves, Uncle WiggiIv,
you could not see US. because We

scare him so he'll run away"

So the bunny held his bunch Of

So the bunny got safely past the
bear. under the branches of autumn
leaves. and so did the animal chill

the bear was fooled.

about giving advice is that few
people take it, and most people who
ask for advice merely desire you
to confirm them in the course they
have already determined upon pur-

The Head Nurse
Says:

DIET AND AGE.

Besides season and climate. both
of which greatly influence diet. the
most important factors in this re-
spcct are the age and condition OF
the individual. For this purpose
life may be divided into three
stages: First, the period of growth
and development, including infancy
and childhood up to 10 years of age,
and adolescence up to IS; second.
adult life, when both growth and
development have been completed;
third, decline, as in advancing age.
Infants are carnivorous and
should have no starches until they
are at least eight months old. DR..
Louis Starr says: Infants fed upon
condensed milk, although fat. are
pale, letharsic and flabby. While
large. they are far from strong and
have little power to resist disease.
They cut their teeth late and are
likely to drift into ricketts, before
the end of the first year"
Adolescence, the period given to
muscle building and mental train
ing, demands diet that will admit
OF rapid digestion and assimilation.
Children of school age hate fats.
and the necessary heating matters
may be given in the form Of but
ter. jams and pure candy after
meals.
Adult life occurs between IS and
25, depending upon the Individual.
The tendency is toward overeatins.
and lessened exercise, which LAYS
a foundation for disease. Adults
should deliberately adopt a plain
diet with little meat and a SUPER
abundance Of fruit and vegetables.
Tho physical body can he made to
hold its own and proIonG the pc.
riod of middle life we'll into the
f1fties if such a regime is followed.
