OF HEALTH
YOU AS A SYSTEM OF SYSTEMS

; is called the Emphatic or CLAN
dular system.
The system by which you dis
tribute the food that you eat and
the air that you breathe to every
part of your body and by which
waste products are started on their
way outward from the tissues
where they are formed, a system
that consist of your blood, heart,
arteries, veins and the little ter
minal blood vessels called capil-
laries, is known as the circulatory
system.
The system by which these
waste products are taken from
the circulatory system and elm
mated from the body, a system
consisting of Your liver and kid
ncys and the millions of little
glands in your skin and of some
ether glands in other parts of
your body, is called the excretory
system.
The system that secretes sub
stances called hormones, that thus
furnishes particular kinds of
energy for the other systems and
makes them work harmoniously-
the ignition apparatus, as it
were-is made up Of a number Of
widely separated little organs and
is called the hormone system.
Now stop to consider the rela-
ticn of these systems to each
other. The bony system Of
strength, the muscular system of
motion. the nervous system of
power. the nutritive> system of
energy and repair, the excretory
sytem OF waste and drainage, the
hormone system of regulation
all Of which, with the special
senses, work harmoniously in one
grand system which is you your
self.

speak Of my system" or of the

That is the reason why you are

that operates under natural law

moniously in disease, but always

APPETIZING
SALADS
BY Hannah Wing
= ERE are some suggestions
for salads worth trying
with company dinners or

for salads worth trying
with company dinners or
with any heavy meals.
A salad elegant and yet satisfy
ing the other qualifications Of
flavor and juiciness is made from
the small, tender white stalks of
celery and the little white, glis
tening onions used for picking.
These two delicacies are steamed
separately until tender and trans
parent. They are then placed on
ice to chill and later placed In
French dressing to marinate for
an hour or so.
Another good as well as color
full salad is one in which smooth,
round beets about the size of
small apples are cooked until
tender, the skins slipped off and
the centers removed leaving a
hollow shell. Chop the removed
centers, add diced celery, apples
and nuts mixed with French
dressing and fill the beet cups
with the mixture. Serve on let
tuce with French dressing to
which a little Roquefort cheese
has been added.
Another salad delicate and In
dividual is made from the very
tipmost tips of asparagus set In
a sharp aspic with peas and
cooked carrots cut in tiny balls
the same size as the peas. The
salads may be nodded in. tiny
custard cups or after-dinner cof-
fee cups. A little experiment.
ing will develop a pleasing ar
rangement of the colorful vege-
tables in the jelly.
This salad may be served on
lettuce and with garnished curls
of celery and mayonnaise dress
ing. The molds should be rinsed
out with cold water before the
jelly is poured in. The vegetables
should not be placed until the
jelly has begun to set and Is
thickened enough to hold them
in place.
The cool crispness Of frozen
salads Is not out Of place even in
winter menus. A sharp aspara-
gus mousse or a frozen fruit salad
makes a pleasant contrast to
heavy, hot dishes.
A simpler salad may be made
from tomato juice drained from
canned tomatoes, well seasoned
with cloves and onions and set
with gelatin. This should be
seasoned to taste. Some like 1t
sweet, some like 1t sour. Mold
this aspic in brick form and
serve in slices or mold it to indi-
vidual servings.
A little ingenuity will centrive
a passable poinsettia salad by
cutting tomato jelly in petal form
and arranging it in flowery shape
on the salad plate with mayOn-
naise dressing for the center.
