Your Health
Chew and Chew

Chew and Chew
When you chew your food well 1t
results in two things:
1t insures good digestion and at
the same time 1t prevents dental
decay.
Hard foods, that require a great
deal Of chewing, should be given
the preference over the softer
kinds.
The consequences and evils OF in
sufficient mastication are many and
may be listed as follows:
insufficient use of the teeth and
jaws; hence dental decay.
insufficient use OF the teeth and
food; hence imperfect digestion of
the starchy substances.
Insufficient subdivision of food by
m~astication; hence slow digestion.
The failure of the taste nerves to
telegraph ahead, as it were, to the
stomach and other digestive organs
an intimation of the kind and
amount of digestive juices required;
hence indigestion.
The overseasoning of food to
make it tasty" eve when bolted;
hence overeating and irritation Of
the mucous lining.
The excessive use of meat, eggs
and like foods which can be swal-
lowed rapidly with relative impuni-
ty and the corresponding neglect OF
other foods which require more
~mastication, like bread, grains. veg
etables and salads; hence intestinal
poisoning.
A good habit to get into is that OF
attending carefully to the first Few
mouthfuls of a meal, eating slowly
and chewing thoroughly. Then the
rest OF the meal probably will
progress according to the pace sci
by these first few bites.
Try to take the same length q
time for every meal. Don't rusl
through your meals and then suffer
from indigestion later or.

Kitchen Hints
Tempting Menus
BY BERTHA f. SHAPIEIGH
or Columbia University

The wal taught us many things,
perhaps the one most needed in the
home was not to waste bread.
Bread is surely the staff of life
and every people on earth has some
kind of bread. To the highly civ
ilized man, white" bread is a ne
cessity.
In cities comparatively few house
keepers bake their own bread. Much
is left over from the bought loaf and
it is the left over bread which we
are to consider.
There is a soft stale" bread.
which later becomes hard and dry.
for toast, which may be buttered or
creamed.
Cut 1t i'm Strips
The slices may be cut n strips or
cubes after toasting and be served
with soup. Tiny dice of bread may
be fried with onions and fat, and
cooked with milk and water for an
excellent soup.
Often the toast is used for a gar
nish. Cut a slice of toast across
cornerwise and dip the points in
melted butter and chopped parsley.
Bread Pudding
Then there are the bread pud-
dings! Sometimes they are so poor
ly made one breads to suggest a
bread pudding, lest one recalls a
poor dessert by that name and re-
fuse to try another.
But a bread pudding well made Is
one of the best desserts. First,
there is the dread and butter" pud
ding-then the plain pudding made
with crumbs.
This Is varied by adding raisins
and currants, stewed fruit or by
carameliZing the sugar used in it,
or by adding melted chocolate or
cocoa.
Then a more elaborate dessert is
called queeE's pudding or cold cabi-
net pudding The first has the top
Of the baked head pudding covered
with jelly and a meringue. The Sec
ond is combined with fruit, canned
or fresh, and often has stale cake in
its makeup.
How to Use Crumbs
Stale bread crumbs are used In
preparing all kinds of scalloped
dishes, and as a top covering in
dishes Eau gratin." Bread crumbs
are used in nearly all stuflngs,
either alone with seasonings or COM
bined with meat.
Dried rolled and sifted. they are
used for coating ~croquettes, meat
and fish which are to be fried or
sauted.
Soft, stale crumbs are used for
th~ickening purposes and become,
when cooked in milk or stock the
foundation for timbales and souffles
The dark brown crust would best
be removed from the slice, leaving
the bread white to take a golden
color when baked, toasted or fried.
This dark brown crust need not
be thrown away, but used with
| other crumbs for making a choco-
late or special pudding where the
color will not show.
Soft bread crumbs may be used
for thickening sauces, one-fourth
cup taking the place of one table
spoon of flour.
After the sauce has cooked and
thickened, strain it, rubbing all the
bread through the sieve.

MARY KATHERINE CAMPBELL
''NIiss America"

Just because l won a beauty con-
test / don't consider l qualify a. an
authority on beauty. but l have
done some thinking on the subject.
Just what Helen, Cleopatra or
Lillian Russell did to be beautiful
I don't know, but l suspect they
didn't do much but just let we'll
enough alone. That is, they Were
beautiful for the things they didn't
do rather than for what they did.
Seeing the beauties of the coun-
try assembled at Atlantic City, and
studying them as a whole, 1 came
to the conclusion that it isn't that
women don't do enough to be beau
tiful. 1t is that they often do too
much.
All my life I've heard of the lus-
cious Southern beauties, and the
aristocratic looking Fasteners. Yet
it is a fact that of the ten prizes
distributed. seven went to Middle
Western girls.
At Atlantic City you couldn't dis
tinguish the girls that way at all.
They were all beautiful and seemed
to be striving for a general standard
Of beauty instead of for individ-
uality.
Seeks to be Different
I decided this was because Of the
makeup many girls use now. They
all follow the same technique IN
putting it on-high color on the
cheeks and chin, scarlet mouth, and
sometimes beaded ~eyelashes and
Swallowed eyes.
Now all women aren't colored
similarly. In some women the flush
on the cheeks is high, on others it
is low, and in others still the whole
charm lies in the delicate pallor or
in the dark, unrelieved olive tint.

spirit OF CHRISTMAS" GRIPS
N. Y. WI TIL ALL
OLDTIME FERVOR

New York, Dec. ga Salvation
Army lassie climbed the rickety stairs
of tenement in the Lower East Side
today, to a room where an aged blind
woman sat alone.
"The Salvation Army wishes you
merry Xmas and leaves this little
gift to help you enjoy the spirit of
the day." she said, placing huge bag
in the old woman's lap.
About the same time, on upper
Fifth Avenue an indulgent father was
trying to sneak $4,000 silver trim
med roadster into the garage to help
his only daughter "enjoy the spirit of
the day."
Somewhere in between these Incl
dents perhaps lay the typical Xmas
spirit. 1t is certain that the spirit
of the day" descended on New York
early and with all its old time fervor.
Crowds swarmed through Fifth
Avenue and the other shopping dis
tricts intent ON adding few more
millions to the quarter billion Christ
mas bill that the merchants reported
Father Knickerbocker as having al
ready run up. Salvation Army work.
ers distributed about $4,000 Christ
mas bags of food, clothing, goodies
and toys. The Knights of Columbus
distributed 2,3OO baskets and workers
for other organization were busy on
similar missions.
Street vendors did heavy business
in cedar trees, holly, toys, cards and
other yuletide miscellany. The HUI
name Society had a Christmas tree
for dogs at its headquarters. On
it were hung fancy neck bands and
dog biscuit-and sweet cakes galore
for every mongrel that could be
found.
Woman workers from the Humane
Society stopped every team that pas
sed on Seventh Avenue and fed the
horses apples. Then they presented
the drivers with gloves and bags of
ipecially prepared feed for the horses
Christmas dinners.
Many organizations including city
departments gave Christmas parties
for poor children and many more

SLEUTHS PLEDGE
.,3 DRIEST NEW YEAR
EVE IN HISTORY

Chicago. %December 22.- The cold
gray dawn Of the morning after New
Years eve will find several million
American citizens peering out
through the bars Of the Hoosegow.
"Oh, how VIC wish we had obeyed
the prohibition laws" they will cho-
rus.
Prosecution, sentences and fines
will follow, and the several millions
will serve time as an example to the
world that America can enforce tha
eighteenth amendment to her consti.
tuition.
No other picture of the dawn of
1923 than this can be drawn from the
promises of federal, and city prohi-
bition agents from coast to coast TO
make New Years eve the driest in all
history to arrest all bootleegers and
all hip-pocket celebrants alike, and
TO prosecute them most vigorously
for drinking, toting, selling and do
mating booze.
Big Drive Promised
The big drive against holiday
drinking will start in many places on
Christmas eve, but all enforcers agree
that they will concentrate, OH New
Years ev', for the big killing. Mran-
while federal agents along the Mexi-
can and Canadian borders and the
seaboards, are acting at watchdogs
of civilization in attempts to plug
the annual inland flood of holiday
hootch.

CLAIMS STARS PORTEND EVIL

11oboken, N. j., Dec. -. -
Death, murder and horror will
dominate mortal affairs during the
coming year, for the planet are
planning to hand us rotton deal.
At least, that is what Professor
Gustave Meyer said today that
the stars indicate. And Professor
Meyer claims to have an intimate
knowledge of stellar plans.
"It's great game - heavenly
politics - but it certainly plays put
and take with human schemes"
So if you look at the quiet and
twinkling stars tonight, do not be too
sure all is right with the world, for
life will not be all honey and roses
during the next twelve months.
1t is like this, the professor said:
"The minute person is born GER
tain planets put their heads togeth-
er and decide on the life activities
of that person. From then on the
events, the woes and successes of
that individual are fixed, and come
what may, one cannot change the pre-
determined course of life one whit.
"Some may have supreme conf
dence in the power of their own will
to guide them through the difficulties.
Some may take unto themselves cred
it for their achievements, but they
are placing credit where it is not
due"
BY way of getting acquainted Pro-
fessor Meyer predicted a rosy future
for the interviewer-that is, he said
it would be rosy if the interviewer
did not drink himself to death or
gamble himself unto the poor house.
At any rate, he added, the next IL
months will be happy for the writer
Then he got down to business and
said:
"The coming year will be the most
eventful year in many, probably the
most eyentful in history. On the
one hand business will be good; on
the other, earthquakes, disasters and
strikes will be rampant and all be-
cause the evil planet Saturn will rule
the first mansion Of the sky"

ARE COLLEGE DEGREES
ASSETS OR LIABILITIES

Washington, Dec. 26.-The Direct
or of the District of Columbia Public
Employment Department has pub
lished statistics showing that COM
paratively few college men who ap-
ply for positions are capable of earn
ing more than ten or twelve dollars
week, and that employers prefer
non-degree men for clerical work.
1T is almost impossible to place a
college graduate in a position owing
to the lack Of qualifications needed in
the business and industrial world to-
day. said the director. "These ap-
plicants want executive positions for
which they are not fitted and which
are very few.
"On the other hand, the employers
don't want college graduates. They
state that employees of this kind are
untitled for the work and are always
expecting increases, which they are
not deserving. They are very un-
satisfactory, and it is rarity that
they last any length of time"
Records of week show that more
than 100 persons the department was
unable to place had received degrees
from some of the most prominent col
iedges in the country. The few whom
the department accommodated ac
cepted positions of clerical nature
salaries beginning at SIS week. Ap-
plicants with business or technical
training and those willing to accept
laboring or domestic positions were
quickly placed.
Educators who discuss the report
say that the fault is not with the COL
leges or the degrees, but the man.
They contend that college degree is
an indication of its possessor having
spent certain amount of time, and
obtained certain number of scho-
lastic credits by acquiring a certain
amount of knowledge, but not neces-
sarily knowledge desired by business
houses in emp!-s;ng clerks It was
suggested by one authority that the
most expert bookkeeper, typest, and
stenographer in TIE world would not
be worth five dollars week us a
doctor, lawyer, a chemist, or ar
engineer. "Why, them" he continued,
'blame the collegesawltich prepare
man, at his own request, for academic
and philosophical pursuits, because
his knowledge isnot thap desired by
those who would employvbeekkecpers
and stenographers? ..s
|, The fault, rontended the educators
is in the sending of boys and girls to
college to study abstract subjects,
when in future they will have to earn
their living by practical effort, and
not in the college which does but give
to its customers the goods they de-
mand. There are plenty of insti-
tutions teaching the art of making a
living, it is pointed out, for those who
wish to put in their college years in
preparation for money making.
