Nutrition Nuggets

The fact that men eat more than
women is due to the differences in
their occupations rather than to sex.
A man and woman of the same
height and weight will, when lying
quietly at rest, need approximately
the same amount of energy from
their food.
ual who is up TO the normal in
weight according to his age and
height is apt to be well nourished,
it must be remembered that the
weight test is only one. A perfectly
nourished person must show good
posture, healthy skin and properly
functioning muscles, as well as
clearly working mental processes.
When a man is doing heavy muscu-
lar work his body must have an in
creased supply of energy and this
extra fuel may be obtained from
foods that under other conditions
might cause serious indigestion. For
example, fat meat, pork and beans,
pastry and the like will cause no
trouble for the healthy man who is
lifting loads, stringing wires for
telegraph equipme MT and engaged in
other vigorous occupations.
Do not forget than an Infant must
store away almost Is per cent OF his
food for growth. His digestive
processes and other bodily activities
arc much buster than are those of
an adult who nee ds only to eat
enough food to maintain bodily
equilibrium from day to day
During the first few months Of q
child's life he should gain about
eight ounces week Gradually
this gain will lessen until four
ounces weekly will be the good
average.

HOW 1T STARTED
BY JEAN NEWTON.
Shake |!

What would We do without the
hand shake? What more satisfying
clinch to any bargain than the clincll
of two right "feelers"? inis custom
has become instructive. 1t consum- :
mates an agreement between men
and without 1t there is no cordial
greeting. Today even the most su-
perbred ladies, who formerly were
permitted only naughty little nod,
cannot get along without II.
It's present-day sentiment is curl
ously in keeping with its origin. In
the days when disputes were settled
and grudges satisfied by mortal COM
bat, the antagonists used to clasp
weapon hands during a truce to sig
Nifty sincerity and avoid suspicion of
foul play. Out of this evolved the
practice of friends to extend weapon
hands with the same thought. each
to assure the other of his good in
tentions.
As man progressed and got away
from the primitive this became an
act Of courtesy. steadily gaining in
popularity as the clasp gained in
power and became the shake
The elaborate bows. hand kissing
and other ceremonials of foreign
climes, and the other extreme in salu-
tation, the cold nod are gradually
giving way TO that undemonstrative
yet virulent atom of Americanism-

BEOWULF HIMSELF.
(DruWinRx ReoyyulfN
A Viking Tale.)

This Beowulf, nephew of King NY
gelac of the Geats, was a champion
of champions, a thane among thames,
whose valor was on the lips of men
throughout the world of warriors In
his hand was the strength of 80 men,
and his war sword had cleft many a
helmet and armor piece OF the enc
mics of the Geats
Twas to this princling that tidings
of King Hrothgar's distress came,
and Beowulf said, Il will go to my
kinsman. Hrothgar" (for Hrothgar
was also Beowulf's uncle), "and l
Will see If l can rid my uncle's king
dom of this most fiendish Grendel"
And having uttered these words he
made preparations with a good ship
and Is warrior thames to go to the
land of the West-Danes where
Hrothgar, his uncle. was king, to see
whether, happily he (Beowuif) might
win great glory and many gifts In
an encounter with Grendel. To fight
he was determined, even though
death might be the outcome.

long enough time might help"
snail be very glad to make what
suggestions / can in regard to your
husbands diet, although at this dis
tance it will be difficult to do any
thing more than generalize.
In the first place, the gas which
forms as result of indigestion
practically varies with every indi-
vidual. On the other hand, there
are almost as many forms of indi-
gestion as there are individuals.
The first suggestion l should make
would be to advise your husband to
eat as nearly as possible his normal
diet. The fact that he works at
night means that his digestion is
somewhat handicapped since the lack
OF relaxation is apt to make for di-
gestive disturbance

your letter you say ito go without

adding this quotation to my first
one because you have put your finger

Now about the diet. Without

patton 1 can only make general sug-
gestions but think you might try
diet somewhat like this:
For breakfast, a generous serving

/ nome cooked porridge, but they are
! more quickly attacked by the diges-

milk causes constipation, and there
fore suggest that he use only a
minimum quantity with the cereal
The bread should be at least %
hours old and preferably toasted and
spread moderately with butter.
The main dish at breakfast might
depend on his taste If his digestion
were perfectly good 1 should suggest
a made dish of any attractive left
overs. In this case, however, it
would be better to have each dish
prepared as simply as possible If
it does not cause trouble, he might
have a soft boiled or poached egg

either of these things is your choice
TO present, il is awkward to get the
right sizes casually without arousing
suspicion, If 1t must be known short
ly before Christmas, for example, or
before birthday. If all you have
TO do is to refer to the fling card

to steer conversation with the person

Rectifying Addresses.
Just after Christmas is an admira-
BILE time TO go over your cards. Flaps
from envelopes and wrapping papers,
too, usually bear the names and ad-
dresses of senders. Without any
special trouble you can rectify any
errors in addresses. Be sure to do
this while the matter is still fresh
In your mind and while addresses
are available. Some persons make
notes on the backs of the filing cards

Filing Cabinets.
II is wise to write down telephone
umbers on fling cards, even though

ress book near the phone. BY the
raT, you can make a filing cabinet

What Today Means to You
Canricorn.
By MARY BLAKE.

The principal vibrations operating
throughout the day. and reaching
their maximum intensity at sun
down, encourage activity and ener-
getic efforts in all lines of endeavor,
especially in business and mechanical
affairs or matters where manual la
Dor is required. With. some 1t in
cites to overeXertion and excessive
haste and force. and it Is essential
to exercise an ordinary degree of
conservatism, in order to reap those
advantages which this occasion will
bring to those who act, speak or
write in moderation. After sundown,
conditions become very auspicious,
and are especially good for planning
or making decisions. It is. there
fore, a propitious opportunity for
| asking the one in whom you are most
interested to decide Yes" or No"
A child born today will need very
careful nutrition and patient care,
in order to overcome successfully the
infantiie ailments to which II will
be subject. This period once passed,
however. II will cause no further
worry or anxiety on physical grounds.
So far as its character goes, it will
have a careful, well-balanced mind,
good Judgment and confidence in its
own ability. 1t will love children
and like amusement, provided 1t does
not interfere with duty. It will be
very fortunate in the selection of a
mate.
If today is your birthday, your love
of family is so great that it may be
regarded as the keynote of your
character. For the ones you love
you would attempt anything, and the
very intensity of your love and de-
termination to succeed for them will
carry you far on the road to sue
cess. Your wholeheartedness will
win for you an unusual degree Of
loyalty, fidelity and devotion.
All your attributes are valuable,
but you subordinate everything and
all things to your pride in and love
of Sur family You put all your
eggs into one basket, and so long as
the basket does not fall, your sue
cess-as measured by happiness-is
we'll lassured- 1t would not be amiss,
however. without attempting to min
fmize the value and sacredness Of
family affection, to think trifle more
of yourself and your own individual
interests. Families on whom such
wealth of affection and service is
showered often prove ungrateful,
and do better if left little more to
shift for themselves, and to lean a
little less on you for support and
help.
Well known persons born on this
date are: James Wolfe, British gen
eral; Charles Parker, manufacturer:
Justin Winsor, librarian; Edward S.
Martin, journalist; Miss NJ. Cary
Thomas, educator.

Card System for Filing Addresses
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

The best way to keep addresses is
in a small. vertical fling cabinet,

The cards can be renewed when ad

Little Joe Suspicious.
Suspicious folk avoid nishaps

Hardly had the trapper disappeared

awoke and crept forth from his hid

two young Offers still asleep. Little
Joe yawned stretched and then de-
cided that he wanted a trout. 1t
didn't take him long to catch one.
With IL in his mouth he swan straight
to a certain old log. one end of which
was in the water. He intended to
climb out on that old log and eat that
trout. II was his favorite eating
place.
But just as he reached that old log
and before he had started to climb out
on 1t a queer feeling of uneasiness
took possession of him. He had a
feeling that something wasn't quite
right. Now when Little Joe has that
feeling he always heeds it. He didn't
climb out on that log. He turned and
swan over to fiat rock. He climbed
out on that and laid the fish down.
Somehow he had lost his appetite. He
looked long and hard over at that old
log.

chain and pulled gently. What do
you think happened? Why he pulled
trap out of place that had been
cut in that old log and then covered
with mud to hide the freshly cut
wood.

trap dropped down into the water be-

decorator evolved very unusual and
beautiful color scheme for a bedroom
on background of apple green, the
leaves are dark gray and the flowers
rose. lavender, gentian blue and a
pale, soft yellow.
AS the room had a cold exposure,
the creamy yellow was chosen for the
walls and wolfe glass curtains. The
chintz itself was used for the dra-
peries and ruftled in lavender for ad-
ditional warmth of color. The dark
gray of the leaves was repeated In the
carpeting, and the rufiied voile bed

Before giving you list of so-cal' ed
n"n-tattentng foods, may I remind
you that the modern way of treating
superfluous flesh is to advise a diet
composed of the ordinary foods that
appear on regular mixed diet Por-
1ions should be small, about one-thfrd
smaller than the average serving The
theory on which such advice rests is
this.
Good health and usually normal

and complete nourishment of the en-
tire body. The older way OF cutting

On the other hand. we must not for
get that certain foods do have a tend

these foods

of mountaineering foods, may I instead
