PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE
BY WILLIAM BRADY, M. D.,
Noted Physician and Author.

I nutrition expert, knows that a rea-
sonable amount of meat (Which in
cludes poultry, fish and shell fish) is
York families apparently imagine it is
the important part of the diet. You
know how that is-the average layman
still harbors that long since exploded
fancy that meat furnishes more en-
ergy or working power or something
than milk, cheese, beans or nuts, and
the delusion costs him a pretty penny
financially. at least.
Next cast your eye upon the strik-
ing difference in the expenditures
Tor milk in the household budget of
the food expert and that of the aver
age layman. The proteins of milk
(casein and 1actabumin) are superior
to the proteins of meat poultry or
fish in biological value, in the nutri-
ton of the young, for growth and
food budget is expended for milk?
And what do you get for what you
spend on that item?
Wherever young people live there
should be a pitcher of fresh milk on
the table, with the M. I. K. sign on
the handle. 1t helps keep the doctor
away, aye, it would send him scouting
In the kitchen if were he.
Are mushrooms a valuable addition
to the diet? Are they difficult to
digest? Can you tell me any test for
poisonous ones among them? 1 have
heard that If a silver spoon is placed
in the pot while boiling them it will
be turned dark if any poisonous ones
are among them.-Mrs. w. s.
Observation-Disclosures are nine-tenths
water and about 8 per cent food.
They have about one-eighth of the
value of round steak as food. The
silver spoon test is uncertain and un-
safe to depend on. Cultivated mush-
rooms are safe to eat. Wild mush-
rooms can be safely eaten only when
an expert assures their non-poison-
Gus character. Mushrooms are priced
by some people for their palatabflity.

Selecting Your Laces.

If you love fluffy, frivolous, "femi-
nine" finery, lace-trimmed under
wear must be, of all kinds, your ia
vorite. For, when lace of the right
kind embellishes an undergarment. it
does make the daintiest of finishes
but a great deal depends upon the Sc
lection.
For instance, if your lingerie is of
muslin, long cloth or cambria, you
must choose much heavier lace than
You would for garment of nainsook.
Now, however much you love dain-
tiness in laces, durability is a factor
you will want to consider. You should
see that the thread in the lace you
buy is we'll twisted and runs diago-
nally, making an interlocking edge.
Narrow. strong laces are appropriate
for ordinary underwea and you can
generally count on them to wear well; !;
whereas the usual thin laces soon
tear and look shabby
Among the kinds of machine made
lace commonly used for underwear
are valenciennes. torchon, cluny. Irish
and filet. You can buy valenciennes
lace, commonly known as val" in
two varieties-German, which has
round mesh, and French, which has
diamond-shaped mesh. Both kinds
are made of cotton thread and are

WHAT TODAY MEANS

Good aspects predominate until
late in the afternoon and favor all
matters relating to business and to
the settlement of affairs of long
standing, especially those connected
with land, property and produce In

will have a very patient disposition,
and, although not destined to attain
any signal success, will be content
and radiate happiness.
If today is your birthday, you are
bright, witty and amusing, and dis
like anything that is sad, heavy or
uninteresting. You are kind in a
general way. and have CHEEKY word
for one and all. Your personality
which possesses a great deal of charm
attracts many, and especially those
OF the opposite sex. To these, how
ever, you are not so kind, as in your
system wild infatuation, and not love,
seems to predominate. Infatuations
are of brief duration and love en-
dures.
You do not apparently possess that
sential foundation of a lasting affec-
tion. Your attachments are very vio-
lent while they last, but, when a new
light shines across your path the for
mer one disappears into darkness and
is forgotten.
You are not a f1irt and do not play
with peoples feelings Just for the
fun Of the thing; you are very sim
cere, but the sincerity is evanescent
You are inconstant, without wishing
to be so. You are insincere, while
striving to be otherwise.
In your business life or profess
sional career you cannot stick to one
idea and see it through to the finish.
When you have pursued a given task
for a. brief time you drop it and i'm
mediately devote yourself to some
new project or idea
In your home and social life you in
ject an air of uncertainty into your
associations which is never conducive
to continuous happiness or content
ment. Constancy is the jewel, above
all others, that shines in the crown
of happiness.
Well, known persons born on this
date are: Isaac Greenwood, mathe-

Anton Seid1, musician; Gen. Albert L.
Mills, soldier; Joseph G. Cannon, ex-
representative and former Speaker Of

for a second time, to let a former

session goes to press on Tuesday,

A total of 1874 bills and resolu-

1892 bills and 145 joint resolutions
in the Senate.
During the first session 2s7 public
acts and 81 public resolutions were
enacted into law. A very great many
Of these acts were laws authorizing
the building of bridges and other
matters OF minor Importance.
Because many persons do not know
the course of procedure in Congress,
it is we'll to note that all bills which
were introduced during the past ses-
sion and which were pending when
it adjourned retain their status on
the calendars or before committees
and are subject to consideration and
action when Congress convenes for
its second session, on the first Mon
day in December, and that all such

any time prior to the adjournment of
