Written for The State journal
By ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs Thompson: I am very
thin and would like to have you sug-
gest what I should eat in order to gain
flesh / also worry great deal when
1 haven't anything to worry over.
HATTIE.
To gain flesh, take plenty OF olive
oil, eat eggs. butter, cereals and fatty
broths, potatoes, peas, beans, corn,
carrots and parsnips, figs, dates.
bananas. UNDERGONE beefsteak and
roast beef.
Drink plenty OF milk. cream and
cocoa.
Avoid food that will not digest cas-
lily and be careful to masticate thoro-
Iy what you do eat.
Give up pickles, vinegar and all
acids.
Exercise freely in the open air.
Don't fret or worry; this will keep
one thin more than anything else.
Cultivate an easy-going disposition, II
you possibly can. When you find
yourself worrying, apply reason to the
situation and it will help relieve your
mind.

THE LOVE OF BEAUTY.

Nothing can stay the walk of
beauty in the world. Like the over
flowing thought of the great Creator
Himself, it keeps permeatfng into the
hooks and byways of the everywhere
to mix with color and sunshine and
song.
So that even the most stupendous
happenings OF the earth bow before
its silent power.
I came across little book the 9TH
err day entitled Recreation" by Wis
count Grey, the great Englishman
whose genius and high moral courage
guided Britain thru her early war ne
gotiations.
Speaking of the war period. Grey
says: I'm those dark days 1 found
some support in the steady progress
unchanged of the beauty or the sea-
sons. Every year, as spring came
back unfailing and Unfaltering, the
leaves came out with the same tender
green, the birds sang, the flowers
came up and opened. and felt that a
great power of nature for beauty was
not affected by the war"
There is nothing to stir the soul like
beauty. Anc there is nothing so per-
maneIt in its appeal 1t plays upon
the chords Of greatness in human be-
ings and calls for them to look higher
each day-and TO keep of good cour-
age.
When all else is gone. beauty re-
mains.
where-day and night. Appreciate it
and you will never be poor in spirit
or totally forsaken,
There is no season or cline into
which beauty does not enter. 1t is
able to warm the coolest heart and to
cheer the loneliest man or woman.
But you must let it into your heart
and it must saturate your senses.
The love of beauty is the beginning
Of happiness
The more you get Of it, the more
you want, and the more you get and
want the more you desire to give it to
others and to arouse their apprecia-
ton of IT.
How rich are they who love beauty
and drink il into their souls,-

The National City bank of New
York says: THE business situation
has been frightened decidedly by the
rise of farm products which has taken
place in the last month" The change
carries greater significance. It is de-
clared. than any other development
that has occurred since farm prices
touched bottom in the fall of 1920.
The statement from such a source
ought to go far toward dispelling the
notion that there is any antagonism
between the commercial and banking
interests of the east and the agricul
tural interests OF the west. The for
mer realize that their prosperity. and
the prosperity of the whole country,
is dependent primarily on the welfare
OF the farmer. Neither class rivalry
nor ssctionalisrn is beneficial 10 either
participant.

The Investigations by the house mill
itary affairs committee into the offer
of Henry Ford for Muscle Shoals. it is
said. has disclosed the fact that 1t
would take years to thrash out in the
courts the legal entanglements that
surround it. Acceptance of the Ford
proposal. it is pointed out, might well
result in effectually preventing the
completion of the dams and the oper-
alton of the nitrate plants for num-
Der of years. Yet it has not been OBJ
served that anybody else is complet-
ing the dams or operating the nitrate
plants. Is the dog in the manger pol
icy to be applied. to Muscle Shoals?

MUST THERE BE A STRIKE?


The country at large. probably, is in
as good a position to stand a coal
strike now as at any time. A great
deal of indifference whether a sus-
pension comes or not exists. Yet in
time an agreement will be made based
on Cancellation and compromise. This
is the usual outcome of such a dis
agreement. This being true it is IN
fortunate that no attempt seems to be
in sight to reach an agreement before
tie strike takes place.
In the soft coal industry following
the strike in November, 1919, the
award provided for q joint central
competitive field conference in ad-
vance of the expiration of the wage
scale this year. The operators, min
ers and government were parties to
the agreement 1t was owing to the
existence of this agreement that the
report was spread that Secretary of
Labor Davis had rendered his serv-
ices for mediation Inasmuch as the
government was a signatory to the
agreement it is logical that steps
should be taken by it to call the oper-
ators and miners into conference, use
less as this might seem. This is what
Secretary Davis has done as it is be-
lieved this is in accordance with the
spirit of the original agreement The
government, however. it is said. will
make no recommendations or attempt
to force a settlement.
It seems almost incredible that both
sides from the first should have as
sumed a strike was inevitable, and to
have prepared for 1t, even without
taking the simple expedicnt. of meet
ing to clarity their issues. The min
ers must realize that the moment they
strike they lose such wages as they
might profitably earn; that in the
natural order of events the longer the
strike continues the more certain it is
that they must accept less than that
for which they strike.
Mine operators in refusing to confer
with the United Mine Workers Of
America to discuss a new working
agreement apparently showed no
more regard for the public's interest
than did the miners union in attempt
hoods and threatening to tie up trans
portation. In the first place, the
unions acted under radical influence
in announcing their determination to
insist on higher wages and shorter
hours, putting themselves at variance
with the economic readjustments of
the times. Their uneompromising at
titude was a great for the
operators to refuse to confer, II it did
not actually furnish them with a
sound reason and incentive for an at
tempt to throw off unionism. This
was the position the miners leaders
took months ago, and which they re-
fused to modify.
THE invitation to the operators 20
attend a conference after the unions
let it be understood they could not
yield" says the Iron Trade Review.
was merely a formality. Neverthe-
less, it should have been accepted, If
for no other purpose than for the
operators to have stated their posi-
ton. Conference is necessary to
maintain public confidence. The OPP
orators have been epnferring with the
miners officials periodically for
twenty years; to break off abruptly
at a critical time. was but to ALLEVIATE
sympathy and perhaps strengthen the
cause of the miners"

John L. Lewis, president of the U.
NJ. w. A., is quoted as saying that
the coal operators are forcing a gen
eral strike OF the miners as part of a
commercial policy for which the pub
lie will pay. The indications are that
the miners are entirely willing to be
forced. As regards the public, it al
ways pays. It does not seem to occur
to the miners to disappoint the oper-
atorS by refusing to strike.
