FOR DAINTY
WOMEN
BY Rita Stuyvesant-

~S~~I = SAS~eAA
TVERY dainty woman loves
~ pretty boudoir accessories
and il she IL at all handy
she can make some charming bits
Of finery.
The bride, am sure, would
love a pair Of lacy boudolr gar
tiers to accompany her prettiesr
negligee. There are so MANI ex.
quisite colors one might choose
to suit her individual fancy
such as pale orchid, peach. ciel,
French blue. melon pink, flesh, or
If your taste runs to things a
little different why not choose
beautiful black chantilly garters
for boudoir wear.
A bit Of elastic perhaps an inch
wide is used for the garters, and
these are covered with closely
shirred satin ribbon.
A French breakfast jacket is
another dainty garment that is Sc
convenient to the woman who
breakfasts in bed. These are
made from crepe de chine, geor.
gette, lace. or chiffon in many
interesting models.
Another lovely bed jacket is a
slipover model and is simple to
make. It consists of a square of
chiffon, picoted at the edges
and covered by square of all
over lace, also picoted.
The boudoir bands for the hair
are so much more interesting
than the caps. and are especially
dainty with bodied hair. A strip
of ribbon about two inches wide is
edged with a narrow frill of lace
all around, and the ribbon pro-
trudes on either side to form
streamers, which are tied in the
back between the ears. You may
add a spray Of fine French flow
ers, too, for charm.
You will find a one-piece slip
very convenient to wear under
your lacy boudoir gowns. and
these may be made up in flesh
crepe or radium silk.

THINK ABOUT
YOUR HEALTH
BY Brice Belden, NJ. d.

. HINKING nationally, upon
occasion, about your health
is not to be confused with
worrying about your health. There
is nothing more unhealthful than
worrying about ones health, and,
on the other hand, nothing is more
essential than that you give reason
able consideration to matters Of
health in general and to your own
health in particular.
If one Is familiar with the gen.
eral rules governing the main
tenance Of good health it is not
necessary for him to have a vast
deal OF knowledge regarding symp-
toms and technical medical mat.

wrong you consult a competent
mechanic; If you care for the ma

The general rules governing
the maintenance OF good health
relate to pure air, proper feeding
and watering, physical exercise,
rest, psychological considerations
and the avoidance OF poisons. A
fair knowledge of these rules may
be arrived at by all intelligent
persons.
1t is also well to bear. in mind
that the body Is well equipped to
cure itself when disordered. Mod.

upon this truth, and most of its
efforts are aimed at marshalling
these natural powers against the

LESS MEAT EATEN;
BEEF CATTLE FEWER
OF MORE THAN D.
100000 IN THE LAST THREE
YEARS, CENSUS SHOWS.

Although there are actually fewer
beef cattle in the United States at
present than there have been in pre-
vious years, it is now possible to raise
more beef each year than when there
were more cattle. This somewhat con-
Trajectory statement is explained by
the United States department of agri-
culture, which shows that a larger pro-
portion of beef cows are kept on
ranches and farms and beef cattle are
slaughtered at an earlier age than
used to be the practice.
While the total number of cattle jim
the country has decreased in recent
wears, the article states, the situation
is not as serious as might appear, since
the number of cattle is greater now
than in any year from 1896 to 1917.
Census figures for 1000 and 1920 show
there has been an increase in the per-
centage of beef calves, heifers, cows
and bulls, and decrease in the per-
centage of steers, especially aged ones.
Increase Vanishes.
The number of cattle in the coun-
try increased 100000 from 1914 to
1919 but during the last three years
there has been a decrease of 100000
head. However, the greater portion
OF cows at present makes it possible
to grow more beef, especially if more
OF the calves, instead of being slaugh-
tered, are fed out as yearlings.
Americans are eating less beef per
capita than formerly, it is said. The
consumption of beef and veal in the
United States decreased from 81
pounds per person in 1907 to 90 pounds
in 1915. Between the periods of 1907
10 1910 and 1911 to 1921 there has
been a decrease in consumption
amounting to approximately 20 per
cent.
The article includes interesting in
formation to those engaged in the in
dustry, on the variations in demand
for different kinds of beef in various
cities and in changing seasons. High
class hotels, it is noted, want prime,
fat and finished beef, while the aver
age housewife wants beef involving
less waste. In warm weather the prin-
cipal demand is for steaks and chops,
while the winter trade demands more
roasts and boiling meat The orthodox
Jewish trade uses only the forequar-
tiers, while Gentiles, as a rule, prefer
hindquarters of beef.
East Consumes Most.
A survey made in 1920 showed that
at that time nearly 81 per cent of the
beef produced was consumed in the
north Atlantic states. The next 1arg-
est amount, or "a per cent, was con-
sumed in the east-north-central divis-
ion. In other words, more than SIS per
cent of the total consumption of beef
and veal occurred in the territory east
OF the Mississippi and north of the
Ohio river and Maryland. The small
est consumption occurred in the south
Atlantic division.
