REALLY FLOWERS OF SPEECH

one of the two authors of the incom-
parable Irish X. NJ" by an old WON

laughing! That We may laugh in the
sight Of the glory of heaven :" The
writer once thought of making an an
thOlogy of such wild flowers of way

In it some far-traveled sayings, such
as that of the freighter in the alkaline
districts of Alberta, who said, point
ing with his whip to an intensely blue
lake on the horizon, "Bitter as dv-
ing mans sweat is that same water"
and the perfect definition of a ghost

FRUITS ARE OF IMPORTANCE
Valuable Chiefly Because They Sup
ply Notwithstanding and
Body-Regulating Substances.

The uses of fruits in the diet are
much the same as those of green vege-
tables, though, unlike most vegetables,
they have considerable percentage
of sugar, especially when they are
dried, and sugar is quickly absorbed
fuel food. Like vegetables, they have
value because they contribute some Of
the nitrogen required for tissue build
ing and repair, and some energy, food
specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture say How
ever, they are valuable chiefly because
they supply growth-stimuating and
body-regulating substances and also
mineral matter needed for bone and
for many other purposes The guam
tity of these materials In fruitG and
vegetables is small, it is true, but
large in comparison with the amount
in many other common foods.

dition points unswervingly to white
satin and lace for materials and to
graceful lines and simple designs in
the style, and within these bounds
there is much room for variations.
But there are all sorts Of precedent
for going beyond them and choosing
other fabrics and less simple design
ing. The bride must determine for
herself whether she wishes to look re-
gal or demure, classic or quaint, very
youthful and unsophisticated or very
modern and up-to-date, and choose a
gown accordingly; her choice must be
governed by her type.

If child is below its proper weight
after 1t reaches the age Of twelve, the
chances are much against its ever be-
coming normal, child specialists say !;
yet several million American children
some put the number at 5,0OO,OOO--
are below weight today. Recent sur
veys made in different parts Of the
United States, both in the city and
in the country, disclose the fact that
10 to 80 per cent Of the school children
in each community surveyed weigh at
least 10 per cent less than they
should. Epidemics find these under
weight children easy victims, and large
numbers die from contagious diseases
each year, that might have lived if
their bodies had been in normal con-
dition when they were exposed to the
contagion.
Not Quantity, but Kind, of Food.
1t is not a question of the amount
of food provided for the American
child who is undernourished, but of
the kind, as the proportion in the fam
lilies of the well-to-do is about as large
as that in the poorer districts. An
effort is now being made by various
ageIRies to teach children and their
parents the kind of food that should
