Oranges.

One of the reassuring things about
our food habits through the ages Is
that most of them, though we did not
know 1t. have a good scientific foun-
dation.; 1t is only recently that we
have come to understand the science
Of food. Dietetics is a new science.
But. nevertheless, throughout the ages
the food habits of various races have
followed unknown food laws.
Not always, of course. has this been
true. Probably only hard outdoor
work saved the New England farmer
from worse dyspepsia than he used to
have in his days of fried food diet.
And one wonders what antidote the
ladies' of Queen Elizabeth's court took
for their breakfasts of pint of ale
and a. pound of beef and generally
too meaty diet.
But, on the other hand, take many
of our food customs, and you will
find that even in the light of modern
dietetic science they are good.
For instance, the habit of serving
a salad of green leaves at dinner. In
addition to the meat and bread or
potato, which would give starch and
proteins, and the dessert. which would
give sugar, the salad was relied on to
give zest to the meal. Indeed, some
adopts in the art. of dining have
thought that the salad should come
before the main courses as an appe-
tizer. Anyway, the point is that vita
mines, now considered essential to an
all-around diet, were introduced in
the leaves of lettuce or endive or
chicory that went to make up the
salad.
And so apple sauce with roast pork.
boiled onions with poultry and potato
salad with cold meats-all these COM
binations are good ones from the die
tetic point Of view, though they may
first have been made from the appe-
tite point of view.
And now we come to oranges. For
years, of course, it has been known
that oranges are wholesome. Orange
Juice has been given to. children. And
oranges have always been a standby
winter fruit for everybody who could
afford them. Before they were usual
enough to be easily afforded we used
to look on them in the light of very
desirable luxuries, and tuck one into
children Of the neighborhood and
carry them by the choice half dozen
to friends who were i'll.
Now, Of course, since the expoS1-
tion Of the yitamine theory. we un-
derstand just why oranges are and
always have been SO good for us. 1t
doesn't make them any more dell

What Are Sun Spots.

DY way Of explaining sun spots. an
- English scientist, during the
course of an address made before the
Royal Society. suggested that there
may be certain levels in the brilliant
shell of hot vapors constituting the
visible surface of the sun, where the
temperature, although very high, falls
below the critical temperature Of the
elements there present. In that case
those elements would be precipitated
into liquids. If the pressure were suf-
ficently great. Such liquefied masses,
floating in gaseous matters of greater
density, would, it is thought, present
the characteristic appearance of sun
spots, for If the liquod were Opaque
it would look darker than the sur
rounding photosphere. When the
liquid re-evaporates the spot disap-
pears. This theory implies that the
sun spots are the first visible begin
nings of a change of state in the sun.

Wrinkles.

"
A new treatment for wrinkles comes
out almost every week. To read the
literature about these just-discovered
methods, one would imagine that the
millennium had arrived and that every
woman could now go fresh-faced and
young all her life. Whereas. in truth
Well, in truth, tiny bit more is
known each year about the skin. aud
no doubt some time grand cure for
wrinkles will appear. But We know
of none yet. We do know that as a
woman ages the tiny. tiny muscles
that lie beneath the skin relax and
sag. so the skin falls into creases
which mark themselves all over the
face and are generally called wrinkles'
And when we combat this natural ten
dency we use the methods the Greeks
and Chinese used in. the days of their
ancient civilization. We have varia-
tions and improvements. to be sure.
but we employ unguents to feed the
skin and astringents to stimulate IT.
and there we are.
Masks have always been effective
in treating wrinkles. Many of the
effemipate French kings used pink
face creams and oiled silk masks of
various delicate colors. But some
thing more comfortable and some

gently smoothed out with the fingers.
Sometimes massage cream Is used
first. Personally. I think simply
smoothing out the wrinkle, applying
the plaster and letting it stay on all
night is the best way. The cold
cream massage and other stimulating
measures can be taken in the
morning.
Many, readers tell me they have
found this a most effective way of
treating the lines that run upward
from between the eyes.
Henrietta-The best method of
keeping the nails cleaned when they
are ridgy is to use nailbrush. A
file will always rouEhen the nails

such use Is one that is concave. The
bristles also should be very stiff and
only about a quarter of an inch
lower. Rub plenty of oil or cold
cream into such nails each night.

New Mexico Wonder.

ONE OF the natural wonders Of New
~ Mexico is the Alamogordo, or
Tularosa, desert. 1t Is a sandy plain,
measuring from 100 to 125 miles from
north to south and from 35 to so
miles from east to west, and it rep
resents, in the opinion of many au-
thorities, the upper surface of a
gigantic block of the earth's crust
that sank after the deposition of the
cretaceous strata. 1t is surrounded
by an elevated border, and on the
east, especially, the cliffs rise sheer
to a height of 1000 feet The curl
Gus Organ mountains are on it's south
ern border. Within the plain. where
floods of lava once swelled up. are
vast deposits of gypsum, which forms
as white as snow, which the wind
drives into vast drifts. The vegeta-
ton is peculiar and highly interesting
to botanists.

MUST CONSERVE FORESTS

If the industrial conference of
American women, which is to con-
vene here January II, were to focus
its attention upon the waste in in
dustry and bring about an intelligent
saving of coal. natural gas. yellow
pine and cereal straw, enough money
would be saved in five years to pay
off Americas entire war debt. accord
ing to Charles Lathrop Pack, presi-
dent Of the American Tree Associa-
tion.
In letter addressed to Secretary
Davis Of the Labor Department, who
Pack pointed out that he thought at
least one man should be at the con-
gress. and he is Arthur D. Little of
the American Institute of Chemical
Engineers. 1t was M Little who
first demonstrated the tremendous

Americans the great lesson on the
value of natural resources when they
are wasted because of war, Mr.. Pack
adds. in calling attention to talk
on reparations before the New York
Chamber of Commerce. in which "the
Tiger of France" constantly refers to
! coal and forests. This, Mr.. Pack
points out in his letter, shows that
the famous Frenchman knows where
the real wealth of a country lies. The
letter in part follows:
IF business men and the chemical
industry can get together in this
country. Mr.. Littles prediction that no
man need be poor unless he prefers

when he speaks of reparations. He
knows where the natural wealth of
a country lies. He knows 1t is in the
soil. A few days ago the French
government made a statement asking
that coal and forest lands be turned
over TO it as part of the reparations
from Germany.
Forest products as the bond of
payment is the great lesson to Amer
lea. But what is happening in this
country as to the waste you so point
out? Minnesota is paying thirty mil

And my honest answer to that ques-

tion has always been:
you can't-unless your butcher is
willing to hang your beef for four or
five weeks-and then you probably
would not want to buy it because Of
it's appearance"
Many people ask me how to cook
steak. There is really no secret about
the way 1t should be done-but most
home cooks put the steak into cold
broiler and light the fire. That is
fatal. And it is just as fatal If the
fire has only been burning few
minutes. The broiler should burn
full tilt for some time-until it is
blazing hot Then introduce your
steak and let the intense heat Of the
broiler seal it instantly. If there is
secret, that's it!
But keep this in mind: the most
careful broiling will not help II the
beef is too fresh. Fresh beef simply
will not do if you want the real thing.
Buy the choicest cuts Of sirloin or
porterhouse from beef that has been
hung at least four weeks; broil in
the way 1 have described, and your
dinner guests will register many
polite hints for another invitation.
