The very machinery which gives us too many laws also
gives few. The proposals of President Cooldges

The whole "lame duck year is wasted.
One remedy, of to get rid of the 'ame duck

To continue it is absurd to modern rail

That would automatically abolish the "shor session.
Another remedy the proposal to have cabinet officers

LETTER FROM PAULA PERIER
TO MRS. JOHN ALDEN PRES
C0TT

! am sending you today, dear lady,
a layette for your coming baby.
l can not tell how much Joy it
has given me to buy these little
clothes. I do not mind telling you,
dear madame, that although l am
quite sure that shall never marry
anyone, l know that my heart will
be always filled with longing for a
child-a son.
1t may seem strange to you, but
sometimes my arms fairly ache for
the feel Of him and no lovers kisses
that could be pressed upon my lips
would give me the bliss and JOY Of
baby's moist mouth against my
cheek.
am envious of you, Madame Les
lie, and all the while / am wonder
ing if the coming of another child
will make you love less which yon
elected to keep when some poor for
saken, heart-broken, miserable moth
err left it upon your doorstep.
am quite anxious to start my
new picture. 1t is one that your
In it l take the part of woman
over 40. Heroines of this kind are
quite the style at present. am
quite pleased with the idea.
Will you ask someone to wire me
when the baby makes its appearance
for l am very much interested as
YOU know l will never forget your
kindness and sweetness to me.
You have made me understand the
sympathy and understanding of my
sex and if you will let me say so,
love you.

Nancy and Nick, the Twins, sat

Instead of the Bird singing, "Tweet

FABLES ON HEALTH
BUILDING UP THE BODY

Most people eat too much meat
and sweets, Mrs. Jones learned.
1t is question whether either
meat or sweet foods is necessary. At
any rate the chief dangers from
overeating come from too much meat
and sweets.
The man, doing much muscular
labor, the active person, and the
playful child need muscular foods.
These may be had in bread, rice;
macaroni, potatoes, butter and but
ter substitutes, including oil, cream
and fats. r
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1925-02-10

Everyone needs protein foods
which help to build up strong body.
Best foods for this material are
milk, eggs, cheese, meat, fish, dry
beans, peas, lentils and nuts. Pota-
toes and cereals, especially oat meal,
also are valuable sources.
. Some careful thinkers feel that
there is considerable danger in get
ting too much protein.
Since meat and fish are proteins, it
is considered safer for an adult not
to eat over four ounces of meat or
fish day.
