Food for Thought.

Brain work isn't work, except by
courtesy; when a brain worker feeds
like a harvest hand. as a great many
do, he Is bound to become more or less
slow minded, dull witted. OF course
II stands to reason that he must be
somewhat dull witted in the first
place, else he wouldn't eat like a
hired man. Be that as 1t may, the
the duller he grows the more he eats.
and this merry whirl continues until
something busts. Maybe a bit of an
artery in the place where his brains
are stored. 1t is a great life, eating
that way, until something gives out

Here Is a family name which does not
sound English, a name borne by Ralph

1t is traceable to no given names

source in the language OF those peoples.
On the other hand. II Is traceable
genealogically, through the settling in

denial Of the churchs doctrine of tran

gospels into French, or rather the Pro-
vencal language.
With this clue 1t is not difficult to
trace his family name (and this was
just the period when family names
were beginning to come into existence)

Comparatively little is known of the

For several seasons we have looked
to the milliners to launch something
very new and very different-but we
have looked in vain. Women have
found themselves in the position
where they actually could wear last
summers hat, or even summer before
lasts hat, and not look like one OF
The daughters of Noah just stepped
out of the ark. Once six months
would put any hat into the museum
class.
Milliners seemed to be satisfied with
things as they were. While they
showed every year certain extremes
that were of short duration, every
season the conservative choice
seemed to remain amazingly like the
conservative choice of the season be-
fore. But now it really does seem
as if a quick change were coming.
For one thing, French women have
small hats, very small hats. The
back and side brim on the poke
shape has dwindled to nothing. and
the poke or vizor has become insig
nificant. Crowns themselves have
diminished. Though they are high
they are skinny elsewhere.

and height) is not only pleasing to
the eye. but is actually favorable to
long life.
In the heat Of summer the greatest
mistake brain workers make is in eat
Ing too much meat. When one wishes
TO withstand exposure to cold, a diet
furnishing generous amount of
meat is desirable, for meat warns
the body more than fat or carbohy-
drates do, notwithstanding that fat
ana carbohydrates are and should be
the chief sources of fuel for the body
and energy for our daily work or
play. In hot weather much meat in
the diet causes increased sweating and
discomfort: people who suffer from
heat should cultivate vegetarianism
or something akin to it in the dog
days.
Young persons in their early teens
require and should have as much food
as, IT not more than their sedentary
parents require. The phenomenal ap
petite of the growing boy or girl is
physiological and normal and should
not be curbed. Any regular boy should
eat as much as his father and even
more IL his father Is a light chap.
Brain workers who weigh in and
find themselves we'll above the limit
ought to find some consolation In this
peculiar feature of reducing regi-
men: With every pound of weight lost
ones requirements for food dimin-
ishes. and the lighter one becomes the
less fuel needed TO drive the body, as
in walking. IF you walk only six
miles aday-the minimum dose Of
oxygen for health and efficiency on a
twenty one-meal -a-week system-and
by giving thought reduce ten pounds
or so, thereafter about eighteen meals
a week will maintain you well, until
you are ready for further reduction.

let fever or diphtheria. or locking the
barn door after the old mare has been
stolen. The important point is wheth-
er the dentist sterilizes his instru-
ments just before he begins working
on your mouth.
Drugs Versus Food.
Is it harmful to season all my food
highly with pepper? / am sixteen and
l have liver trouble.-EVELYN.
Answer-Yes; young persons par
ticularly should avoid pepper, mustard
and the other hot sauces or condi-
ments. These are irritants to the
stomach and kidneys and other or
gans and used only to disguise taste
of poor food or food poorly cooked.
