SECRETS OF HEALTH
AND SUCCESS
ny CHARLES o. L. REED, NJ d. thew for tba fret time

they for the first time in their
lives, were served with griddle
cakes, butter and maple syrup.
The young man glanced at the
cakes and pushed them away. But
the father, more courageous, pre-
pared his as he saw the MEM
bers Of the family prepare theirs,
tasted them, smacked his lips and
said persuasviely to his son:
II say, Chawlie, taste them.
They're not so nawsty as they
look"
Dietetic prejudices are general
ly contracted in childhood and
come from permitting children to
pick and choose at the table or,
worse yet, in the pantry.
The habit generally begins in
the child's natural craving for
sweets. Everything is so sweet
ened that the developing tastes
have no practice with the original
flavors Of foods.
The result is that not only il
there a sacrifice in the variety OF
real pleasure in eating, but the
diet becomes lopsided with a
maximum of fat-making sugars
and starches and g. minimum of
energy-making vitamins.
l once knew young man who
in childhood had been permitted
to indulge his whims until his
dietetic habits embraced only a
few articles. He Travelled and
saw other people enjoying things
that he could not eat. He forced
himself to taste these things.
He is still a traveller and 1t is
his boast that he can eat with a
rlish every dish in the dietry
of every civilized people on earth.
He thus gained new pleasures
and better health.
Nothing is more conducive to
the omniverous habit in children
than wholesome outdoor exer-
else, and plenty of 1t, combined
with mental diversion at the
table that will take their atten-
ton away from the particular
article of food. Under these
circumstances they simply revert
to primitive hunger and devour
without question.
And the advice in this particu-
lar that is good for the children
is equally good for the grown-ups
Habits in eating, like other
habits, are acquired in childhood
chiefly by imitation.
See that in your children these
habits are safe, sane and sound.

ADVICE TO THE
LOVELORN
BY Beatrice Fairfax

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am nineteen sand have
graduated from grammar and
business school and attended
night school for two years.
have been going about with a
man of twenty six since last
April.
At times I feel that If ever
found he didn't love me life
would not hold anything for me,
and then again when hear
other girls talking about their
friends they all seem so won.
derful; the majority Of them are
good-looking and have a good
education and quite few of
them have their own cars.
My friend has only grammar
school education, is not good
looking, but he loves me and
has said If he ever found I did
not care for him it would break
his heart.
Do you think I should stick to
him? PEGGY.
DEAL love and devotion are not
easy to find. Good looks and
a car are poor substitutes Tor
honest devotion. You might throw
away what you have in order to
satisfy your curiosity and your
sense of adventure, and find life
made up of reckless gaiety but no
actual satisfactions.
If you really love this man,
don't let yourself be influenced by
the boastings Of your friends.
Worldly considerations and mate
rial pleasures won't compensate
for companionship, understanding
and loyalty. The question is not
whether or not it is worth inves
tigating society and meeting other
men. It is how much you and
this man have in common. Search
your own heart, but don't worry
over what other girls have. Hap
piness is not comparatively is in
having the things which mean
most to you.

The cloud Is film

You feel on your teeth a viScous
film. Under old-way brushing,
much of it clings and stays. Soon
it becomes discolored, then forms
dingy coats. That is why so many
teeth lose luSter.
Film also holds food substance
which ferments and forms acid. It
holds the acid in contact with the
teeth to cause decay. Germs breed
by millions IN it. They, with tar
tar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea.
Thus film is the greatest enemy
of tooth beauty and tooth health.
