Nutrition Nuggets.

Remem Der that dull, lifeless hair
often comes from an improperly pro-
portioned diet There are no special
foods that directly affect the hair.
Simply keep in mind the principle of
balancing tho diet for complete nu-
triton, and you may find your droop-
ing locks growing beautiful and soft
again before you know it.
II you are eager for bright eyes,
place your faith in fresh, leafy vege-
tables, fruits and their juices, plainly
'broiled meats, a. quart of water daily
besides that taken at meals, and, in
short, simple but adequate diet.
This will do more in a month, or
even a week, than all the EYE drops"
that ever went into bottles.
Just as starch is the one foodstuf
that may be increased with least
danger to digestion and health. so we
should avoid speeding up on our fats.
Fat is the element most likely to
cause trouble if eaten in quantities
out Of it's right proportion.
In planning your household budget
be careful to decide wisely as to
where you will make any necessary
economies. For example, after you
have satisfied yourself that a certain
amount OF food is required to keep
your family in health, do not be
tempted by the allurements of a So
called fashionable neighborhood and
pay more than a reasonable rent IL
such a course means scanting on
proper food. A sunshiny, airy house
in a less smart neighborhood may
even add to the family health IL, for
instance, 1t means more walking for
various members OF the family.
good rule by which to test
whether or no your menu is bal
anced is the following: There should
be at each meal one main body
builder, such as meat or eggs or milk,
and a subsidiary body builder such
as a nourishing soup or a nutritious
beverage. OF the starchy foods there
should be a breadstuff. a starchy ce-
real and a semi -starchy dessert
Sugary foods need appear but once
on the menu, although various dishes
may contain smaller amounts of
sugar. There should be two fatty
foods, at least one body regulator
such as fruit or vegetable, and one
bulky food to supply roughage in the
intestines.
In recipes calling for sour milk use
one-half teaspoon of soda for each
cup of thick milk. Slightly turned
milk calls for less soda. but no hard
and fast rule can be given.

WHAT TODAY MEANS
TO YOU.
Taurus.
BY MARY BLAKE,

In the early part of the day favor
anle vibrations occur. They after
ward become adverse and indicate de-
lays. disappointment. loss. impatience
and nervousness Attend only TO
ordinary affairs.
A child horn today will be very
strong tempered, but. IL this tendency
be properly directed. will develop into
person OF strength of character and
great will power. During childhood,
nothing will be gained by forcing cor
rection. Persuasion and affectionatc
methods must be employed. so that
the child's moral character can be
guided along lines that will lead into
the best channels.
lf today is your birthday, YOU have
much for which to be thankful. You
are endowed with kindly nature and
an agre cable disposition You make
friends very quickly and are rather
auiHotic in your treatment of them
You are generous 10 degree which
sometimes borders on the extrava-
giant. You do not, however. spend
your money in an ostentatious way.
but rather on the pleasures you can
secure for others. AS a result of this.
there are many who sponge" on you,
and your assistance should be a trife
more discriminating, as ill-chosen
charity "dulls the edge OF husbandry."
The one great drawback to your
character. however, is your love OF
''buttin' in on other peoples affairs
and business. You do not do this
with any object of being disagreeable.
although il often renders you 10
those whose affairs you so injudi
ciously attempt to regulate. Mind
your own business" is a we'll known
saying, and if you could apply it to
your own life the results would be
eminently satisfactory; so satisfac-
tory, in fact, as soon to cure you of
a weakness which has become an OBJ
session with you.
Nations are very jealous OF their
sovereignty and always resent out
side interference. Our lives have
sovereignty all their own. and we are
jealous of il, and look with suspicion
and distrust on those who would, even
in the slightest manner. attack II.

refused to leave the card table for
slices of bread with meat between"
Thus was the sandwich born.

ties. some savory. some sweet, all
