WHEN WE GO SHOPPING
BY MRS. HARLAND H. ALLEN.

from the sides of the fibers it will
appear lighter.
The reason this shading is not
so noticeable in figured rugs IS be
cause the many colors break up the
light rays, but this is not the case
with a plain surface, so the solid-col-
ored rug may give this Illusion.
AS soon as the rug is put into use
and the pile fibers begin to be crush
ed from the traffic over them they
naturally assume various slants, ac-
cording to the direction that the
principal travel takes over the floor.
Some of them will lie end-on and
others sidewiSe, so that the user per
ceives the light and dark places and
then is liable to jump to the con
clusion-juSt as your neighbor did
that it is caused by grease in the
yarn" or some other superstition.
AS a matter of fact, this shading
can be expected i'll any pile fabric.
1t may be observed in such things as
velour portieres. upholstery and in
plush coats, particularly in the skirt
of the coat where it is crushed when
one sits upon it. But 1t is most
noticeable in floor coverings. of
course, because they get the greatest
amount of crushing from being walk

Middle-Aged Business Women.

This is especially written to Mrs.
b, but as Mrs. B. is a new type
and a large one, other women will
also be interested. Mrs. B. is the wom-
an who married, ran a home, a child
or children, was widowed and COM
PEELED to go out and earn money to
educate and feed her family at the
age when most women are taking the
rewards of life and not the burdens.
Mrs. B. is anywhere from % to 40,
and she cannot afford to look what
ever her age is.
What shall she do? Leisure to rest,
to fuss over herself, is impossible;
money to spend on fine clothes and
expensive beauty treatments equally
impossible. Yet she must look fresh,
rested, alert, without grief, be inter
ested in others petty problems; she
must look successful and, above all,
young.
1 think Mrs. B. Is entitled to use
every possible means TO achieve youth,
don't you? If her hair is going gray,
absolute sign of middle age, 1 think
she is entitled to dye it if-here's the
problem-she can dye it successfully,
and the dyefng will make her look
younger. Henna is always a good dye;
it helps rather than hurts the hair:
any one with care can use il; 1t makes
the hair red. of course. and is SO much
used that we look askance at red hair
these days-but the ageing business
woman wants an effect-and hair of
any shade but gray will give her the
effect of youth. So 1 believe in letting
her dye it, and would then like her to
be quite frank about it-outside her
business circle-juSt as we are frank

low digging around, the Old Pasture
is simply going to be spoiled. The

"Wen, thank goodness we moved

Answers to Food Questions

He has no kidney complications He
eats little meat, does not drink milk
and eats many apples and green vege-
tables. He is not under weight, yet
seems tired and sluggish, and he does
not do we'll in school. I might add
that he is very fond of sweets I feel
that his diet is at fault. Can you help
him?-Mrs. j. w. D.
1 am very happy to do what 1 can
In suggesting the proper diet for your
son. He is just at a very importa mt
age, and you are right in feeling that
you should pay considerable attention
to getting his diet Strengthened out
now, as his whole future in nutrition
may depend upon 1t.
1t is too bad that he cannot drink
milk. as he should have no tea or cof-
fee. Can he perhaps take cocoa or
cereal coffee with considerable milk
for the foundation? If possible, he
should have a good dish of hot por-
ridge for breakfast, and If he cannot
eat this with milk, you might try a
little fresh butter and salt, but no
sugar. A few steamed raisins or
chopped dates may make the cereal
more palatable, as it certainly will
add to its food value.
What you say of your son eating
vegetables is fine, and, in fact, my
feeling is that If he will cut out
sweets. stick to the vegetables, add
cereals and pay very strict attention
to intestinal cleanliness, he may find
his tired feeling disappearing. This
matter of attention to the action of
the bowels is most important, and
may very possibly be the solution of
your problem. With the cereals, fruits
and vegetables, and plenty of exercise,
but not too much for his rapidly grow
ing strength, and with bran added to
his diet, l think he will probably be
all right in a comparatively short
time.
The bowels and skin trouble may
yield to this treatment. AS you may
know, yeast is frequently helpful in
cases of boils. This should be eaten
with reasonable restraint, that Is, one
or two cakes of compressed yeast a.
day until you have opportunity to OBJ
serve the effect on digestion. The i'm
portant vitamin existing in yeast is
probably the thing that helps to get
rid of boils. l suggest that you do
not use yeast without asking your
physician. There is nothing in 1t that
will harm any one, but it may not be
the right food, although indications
are that 1t may help.

Nutrition Nuggets.

If inclined to be bilious" remem-
ber that while you must eat simple
food your actual diet must be planned
by yourself and your physician to-
gether. Even wholesome foods are at
times disturbing. In general the
strong diet of a bilious person is to be
found in diet made up of acid fruits,
fresh crisp vegetables, crusty bread,
milk If possible and very plainly cook
ed lean meat.
The hostess should remember that
it is poor hospitality to force upon Il
guest a second help of some dish no
matter how delicious this may be.
There are some individuals who have
learned the capacity of their own
stomachs, and they should be allowed
to stop when they know they have
had enough food.
If YOU sit at a desk all day do not
expect your digestive system to take
care of the same meals that will be re-
quired by a muscular worker. Your
diet will be balanced with considerably
less food than will be required to bal
ance your more active brothers..
Remember that the average serving
of the average food gives about 100
caIories of energy. Bear this fact in
mind and it will help in equally esti-
mating the number of calories eaten
by the individual.
The time has long past when we
think of micro-organisms as being all

tiny organisms that are decidedly

To Test Olive Oil.

When it is desired to test the purity
of olive oil an interesting little ex-
pertinent may be carried out. Take
a sample of the oil and add to it
about tenth of the quantity of am
monia Then shake slightly and very
soon, If the oil is pure, there will ap-
pear a milky white mass of the con-
sistency of soap. When other oils
have been added a more or less gran
ular appearance is the result of the
test. Pure olive oil, if slightly heat
ed, does not smell very different from
the cold oil. On the other hand, after
it has been warmed, a change in odor
is noticed if some other oil has been
added as an adulterant.

Shading in Rugs.

Dear Mrs Allen About six months ago I
bought an expensive rug, and though II has
been used such short time. | find that
spots are appearing on the rug already
These spots sometimes look as though ink
or water had been spilled on the rug. and
come from nothing that can understand.
\ neighbor tells me that these come from
grease in the yarn" What does that mean
Is il a defect in the material and what
would you advise me TO do about lt:-A
Housewife.
Dealers say that the illusion of diff
ferent colors, especially in plain rugs,
is a very common occurrence, and
that usually the more expensive the
fabric. having the higher and thick
er pile, the more the rug will show
this apparent spotting. They call 1t
shading" and they say that the eff
feet is less noticeable in the cheaper
rugs having the lower pile.
1t would seem that this illusion of
colors is due to the various ways in
which the light is reflected from the
slant of the pile, and that it is not
due to any defect in material or
workmanship, since there is no ac-
tual change in the yarn.
It. is explained in this way: Where
the light is reflected from the ends
of the pile fibers the fabric appears
darker, but when the light is reflected
