/ judged from his speech and manner
that he had not been in this country
very long I showed him to a dress

table, with it's mirror, brushes and
combs, and then went on into the
operating room to prepare my cam

which l went back to the reception
room.
My customer seemed to be taking
an unusually long time in the dress
ing room, but l put this down to a
desire to appear at his best and was
not particularly surprised. When 10
minutes had gone. by, however, 1 be-
gan to wonder If something had hap
pened to him, so / opened the dress
ing room door and looked in.
There stood my customer, planted
firmly before the mirror, his hands
gripping the sides of the table, and
his eyes set in dead stare at his
reflection in the glass. He was taking
his own picture!

That's only sample of the queer

which had dropped from the balcony a
little before. 1 forgot the rug until
the picture had been taken, but when
the negative was developed l found
that the snow-covered rug had out
lined itself into perfect profile of
George Washington. There was not
flaw from forehead to neck. Under
the circumstances it seemed to me re-
markable.

HOW 1T STARTED
"A Fly on the Wheel
BY JEAN NEWTON.

We are all familiar with the use of
the expression like a fly on the
wheeP to denote the utter helpless
ness of some one as contrasted with
powerful destructive influences TO
which he is exposed or with refer
ence to treachery where the victim is
absolutely helpless. In short, it sig
nlf1es a situation where one has not a
chance. where one is overpowered at
the very start. A man speculating on
the stock market, for instance, is
often referred to as "a fly on the
wheel" .
The reference is to the medieval tor
ture wheel which was used on po-
litical or religious offenders TO exact
confessions or merely as punishment.
The service of the wheel during the
lnquisition has been written in letters
OF blood over the pages of history It
was revolving contraption of, great
dimensions on which the prisoner was
tied and rolled until every bone in his
body was broken and crushed For
all his chances 10 defend himself or
escape. he might have been "a fly on
the wheel
The tigurative application Of the ex.
preston TO situation that is equally
preposterous in its unfairness, is easily
comprehensive.

Answers to Food Questions

Jellies, snow pudding, ice cream
| sweetened with Saccharine.
The vegetables may be grouped ac
cording to their starchy content as
| follows: Vegetables containing only {
per cent of starch. and this means
the smallest possible quantity, are as
paragus, caulifiower. cucumbers, egg
plant, cabbage, celery, endive, kale
| leek. radishes, lettuce, kraut. string
| beans, spinach, cresS and tomatoes
| The vegetables that contain 10 per
! cent of starch are beets, onions
pumpkins, squash, turnips, carrots
and okra. Those containing Is per
cent are artichoke. green and dried
| lima beans. parsnips and fresh or
canned green peas. Those that have
20 per cent of starch are baked beans,
green corn, kidney beans, white po-
tatoes.
Bread is. of course, one of the diff.
f1cult problems. Bran cakes and bran
and agar mullins may be prepared,
but these have no food value. Muf-
fins with very low starch content
and some food value may be made as
follows: Two cups bran. one-half tea
spoonful salt. two tablespoonfuls
mineral oil, one-half grain saccharine,
two eggs. Wash the bran and add
salt, saccharine, oil and baking
powder. Mix and add the we'll beaten
egg yolks. Have ready the stiffly
beaten egg whites and fold them into
the mixture. This makes one dozen
mullins.
Soup for a person who cannot eat
starch may be chicken, veal, mutton
or beef broth. When the broth is
strained, add to each cupful one-half
teaspoon Of chopped parsley or chop
ped onion with celery, salt and bay
leaf as seasoning. Clam broth is on
the list and cream of vegetable soup,
jellied chicken consomme and onion
soup.
Fish makes a good addition to the
diet. Baked halibut or white ish is
delicious if cooked in the casserole.
Broiled fish and boiled fish also are al
lowed. Sauce for meat and fish may
be made of chopped cucumber season
eo with vinegar, salt and pepper or
strained cooked tomato juice or horse
radish sauce, or parsley, butter or
mince sauce are allowed.
In one of your articles you speak of
avoiding rough and woody foods in
cases of stomach acidity. May I ask
what foods come under this classifica-
ton and also diet for acidity?-
A. y.
The foods usually described as
rough or containing a large percent,
age of woody fiber are the coarse vege-
tables such as carrots, turnips, par
ships and beets. The roughness comes
! from the cellulose and these Vege-
tables contain more than others. An
other rough food is bran. A diet for
excess of acid in the gastric Juice
would include tender celery, and let
I tuce, asparagus tips, peas, carrots,
squash, mashed potato. sweet apples,
fresh pears, dates, canteloupe, grapes,
macaroni, soft cooked eggs, nut meal,
cream of vegetable soups made with
out meat stock and buttermilk; also
custard, ices, ice cream, olive oil and
cottage cheese.
Even in this condition some rough
age in the food is sometimes necessary
to cure constipation. In this case bran
may often be used without any irri-
tation. There are often very palatable
| forms of bran on the market and these
make very delicious breakfast food.

What You Should Know

That when children of the run
about age show any tendency to diff
ficulty in digesting eggs the yolk
alone should be given. The white is
almost pure albumen and sometimes
for young children and even for
occasional grownups may cause in
testinal putrefaction.
That when lemon slices are used
to garnish dishes, important mineral
salts are added to the food value of
that dish.
That creamy rice pudding may be
made particularly delicious without
eggs. The creaminess is achieved by
long, slow cooking and the proper
tions are four tablespoons of rice to
one quart of milk
That when beef juice is given TO
young children it should be COM
bined with mashed potato and boiled
rice or with bread. This food Is very
high in abstractives and in even
moderate portions acts as a stimu-
liant. The young digestion is better
cared for If this concentrated ex-
tract Is mixed through a starchy
food.
That roast potatoes are very ap-
petizing and are first pared, and
baked in the pan with the meat,
basting occasionally with the fat as
it comes from the roast.
That scallops are the muscles of
variety of shellfsh. They contain
practically no mineral matter, lust
trace of fat, a large percentage of
water, but their body building mate
rial measures up fairly we'll in COM
parison with other forms of sea
1000. Prepared in cream they are
delicate and digestible.
That ordinarily served raw cucum.
bers make a delicate cream soup or
hot dish with creamed vegetables.
They must be carefully seasoned and
not so lavishly as to destroy the
delicate character of the vegetable.

"HELLO. YOU OLD ROBBER,"
CRIED CHATTERER.

lips and looked as pleased as a small
boy with a stick of candy. After
awhile he saw Chatterer. But Chat
terer had seen him first. OF course
he would, because Buster is so big and
Chatterer is so small. Chatterer jump
ed from branch to branch and from
tree to tree, until at last he was in a
tree right over Buster.
Hello. you old robber! cried Chat
terer. What are you doing, looking
for mushrooms?"
Buster sat up and looked up at
Chatterer. Really, Chatterer," said
he, II don't know why you should
call me a robber.'
Didn't I see you just tear open an
ants nest?" demanded Chatterer.
Buster grinned. Perhaps you did. -
sAid he. ut might be all right for the
ants to call me a robber. but why
should you call me a robber? 1 haven't
robbed you"
Chatterer grinned. mo" said he.
you haven't robbed me, but that is
because you haven't had a chance.
What is more, l don't mean that you
shall have a chance. Have you seen
any mushrooms lateIy?"
BY this Buster Bear knew that
Chatterer knew. or at least suspected,
what had brought him over to that
part of the Green Forest. But he
wouldn't let Chatterer know that he
knew.
'Mushrooms?' said he. "Mush-
rooms? What about mushrooms?
Personally I'm interested in ants, not
mushrooms. ! saw some growing
back there a ways, but they didn't
tempt me at all"
Chatterer chuckIed. Perhaps they
were not dry" said he, and grinned
down at Buster Bear in the sauciest
way.
Buster Bear just turned his back
and shuffled off quite as if he had no
intention of staying around there any
longer.

My Neighbor Says:

Pie filling will not run out If
the upper crust is rolled under
the lower and pressed down. OF
course, you must lift the lower
crust with a knife and the up
per crust must be a little larger.
To have the flaky pie crust
spread a little lard on top with
a pliable steel knife. Sprinkle a
little nutmeg over the top be-
fore putting the pie into the
oven. A little milk on top pro-
duces a delicate brown.
The cleaning of saucepans is
neglected in many households,
but 1t is most important. Each
time saucepan has been used
1t should be put over the fire
with clear, cold water and q lit
tie soda in 1t. When this is hot
1t should be poured off, and the
saucepan and its lid well scour-
ed with soap and sand, the out
side being freed from all black
and dirt by means of a stiff
brush kept specially for the pur-
pose.
When you pour water Off boil
ed potatoes save it and use 1t
instead of water or milk for your
bread, sponge or coffee cake. II
the water is salted you will re-
quire a little less salt when mix
ing dough.
The following mixture is ex-
cellcnt for cleaning white paint:
Mix together equal quantities of
soft soap, salt and whiting and
apply it to the paint with fan
mel wrung out Of warm water.
Rince well and dry with a soft
cloth.

Buster Bear was getting out of
SORTS. Yes, sir, he was getting out of
sorts. He certainly was. He was
beginning TO realize that he couldn't
look IN every tree in the Green Forest
Tor those missing mushrooms. His
neck began to ache in no time at all.
You see, he wasn't used TO walking
along with his head tilted up. OF
course. he knew that Chatterer
couldn't have carried those mush-
rooms very great distance, but even
AT that there were more trees than
he cared to think about
Buster sat down to rest his neck.
Gr-r-r-r-r-r. this won't do at all, -
grumbled Buster. I'm the first place
/ can't half see up in these trees In
the second place, there are too many
trees. The thing for me to do is to
watch Chatterer. He will at least give
me some idea in which direction TO
look. l wonder l didn't think of that
before. Chatterer is smart Anyway,
he thinks he is. Just the same, l
think that / am just as smart. ! hope
he hasn't seen me looking around up
In these trees. I'll just pretend that
/ have forgotten all about mush-
rooms. Ill just do as l am in the
HdDlt OF DOING, look Tor ants, or grapes,
or beechnuts, or anything else that's
good to eat, but l won't look up in
trees"
So Buster started out and did his
best to appear quite unconCerned. He
pulled over every old log he came TO,
looking for ants. Sometimes he found
them and sometimes he didn't He
tore an old rotten stump TO pieces. He
pretended to try to dig out Whitefoot
the Wood Mouse. Had YOU been
watching him you would have said that
he wasn't interested in anything at
all except the things he was doing
But all the time he was looking and
listening for Chatterer the Red Squir-
rel. He heard him before he saw him.
Chatterer usually is heard before he is
seen. No one of whom I know enjoys
the sound of his own voice more
than does Chatterer the Red Squirrel
Buster at once began to shuttle over
toward the place where the sound of
Chatterer's voice was coming from
But he didn't so straight there. He
shuffied along looking for old logs to
pull over in search of ants. Ants
seemed to be the one and only thing
on Busters mind. When he found
them, he licked them up, smacked his
