PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE

Noted Physician and Author

an will when she gets going and the
Corona is working smoothly.)
This contralto did catch me with
two low, mean herpetic vesicles on
my lip-some people call 'em cold"
sores though my lips had been ex-
posed to ntohing worse than a
draught of applicable. The contralto
will find much consolation in the
family history presented by the BARI
tone above.
On sober second thought, now that
my herpes labialis is all well, il seems
not improbable that tendency to be
fat may run in families. The bari
tone tells US that she has a good ap-
petite-which we will concede she
must have had to gain 110 pounds in
Is years, but, then, she had a big
| start at 16 A good appetite is likely
to be family characteristics, though
believe l may say without any strain
on my newly healed lip that 1T is
rather a matter of example and en-
vironment than of Inheritance.
Certain pathological conditions in
| which obesity is one feature are un-
questionably congenital and perhaps
| inherited, but 1t seems to me unrea-
sonable TO assume that ordinary ac-
| quired obesity is inherited just be-
| cause some other members of the
family have been obese. Oertel, a
| famous European physician, whose
reduction diet is well known to the
medical profession, believed that fully
half the cases of obesity were heredi-
tary. but his ground for the assump-
| tion was merely the frequency of
obesity in the family history of his
patients. Thus one might likewise
| assume that because grandpa was
bald and father was bald, the baby
| will be born bald, or at least with a
tendency to bawl.
A good appetite. There you are,
fat folks. That's the secret of main
| tanning the family tradition. 1t Is
so very easy to overeat. with all the
tempting delicacies of the table and
the concentrated calories in the con-
fections served at the soda fountain.
to which the fat girls seem to gravi-
tate so much. When you consider
how simple 1t is to slide 500 calories
| down the esophagus, in the shape of
chocolate marshmallow nut sundae,
and how painfully laborious 1t Is to
burn the 500 calories walking sew
eral miles or taking other active ex-
ercise, Is 1t any wonder that so many
fat people like to blame 1t on
grandma?

HOW TT STARTED
Barring the Head.
BY JEAN NEWTON.

What greater excitement in the life
of a girl than when IL gentleman
hares his head before her, signifying
that she is grown up! And what
more refreshing to the tired business
girl in a crowded elevator?
The custom of gentlemen to bare
their heads before woman and
otherwise as a token of respect is a
relic of the age of chivalry when the
knights did not appear in public eX
cept in full armor. They were en-
cased from head to foot in mail, the
weight of which can be judged from
an Illustration of King Williams s.
men carrying armor to a ship, where
the hauberks or coat parts are being
carried each between two men on a
pole running through the sleeves.
It became the custom for a knight
when entering a gathering of friends
to DON his helmet, implying, II am
safe in the presence of friends"
Though originally barring the head
was not primarily, as 1t is today, a
mark of Difference. it is one of the
many little acts of courtesy that are
direct survivals of the ways of the
knights of old, of whose unquestion-
able influence upon our civilization
and our culture they are mute evil
dence.

An easy way to keep silver
bright is TO put a handful of
boraX in pan of hot water
with d very little soap. Place
the silver in this and let it
stand the entire morning. Rinse
in clear water and wipe dry
with a soft cloth.
Save all the waxed paper in
which crackers and bread are
wrapped. This waxed paper is
the very thing you want on
which to roll out pie crust or
biscuits, also doughnuts or
cookies. No washing of pantry
board is necessary.
To clean egg stains from
spoons, first rub them with
little salt, then wash them in
soap and water and dry with a
soft cloth.
When peeling apples, have at
hand d pan Of cold water to
which a few drops of lemon
juice have been added. AS they
are prepared, drop the apples
one by one into the pan. They
will not turn brown. When
possible, apples should be cut
with a silver knife.
When frying chip potatoes,
both time and frying fat will be
saved if the potatoes, after be-
ing cut, are steamed for Is
minutes.
To remove finger marks on a
highly polished piano, wipe
with a cloth wet in pure, cold
water, then wipe dry. This re-
stores the new look at once.

Two-Piece Ensemble of Coat Sort
BY MARY MARSHALL,

at Southern Winter resorts is indica-
tive of Spring fashions generally,
then we may safely prophesy that
the ensembles to be worn in March,
April and May in the North will be
for the most part of the frock and
coat sort. not of the tunic sort.
OF course, there is nothing really
new in the ensemble idea The thing
that is new is the interest that Ameri-
cans of all classes are taking in it.
For years exclusive dressmakers here
and in Paris have been making wraps
of various sorts to go with the frock s
they made, and many women have
had wraps to go with most of their
frocks
Such an arrangement, of course,
may have drawbacks for the woman
who has her clothes made at home
or by a. dressmaker in a small way,
because a frock usually offers fewer
obstacles than a coat The little
dressmaker can make a frock, but
you hesitate at intrusting a coat, cape
or other sort of wrap to her.
The sketch shows the type of en-
semble that seems to be gaining favor
at Southern resorts. 1t is of sand
colored flannel, with a straight, long
flannel coat.

There are advantages in the two
piece frock and advantages in the
one-piece frock, but at present there
seem to be very, very few women
who do not find that the advantages
of the one-piece frock overbalance
those OF the twc-piece sort.
On the face os 1t, it is easier to
put ono piece on than two. Besides,

strsighter, scantier, less bulky. And
