Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
By DIR. HUGH S. CUMMING

By DR. HUGH S. CUMMING Surgeon General, United States
 Public Health Service
 You can't trust your instincts with regard to the amount or kind Of food you eat.
 There is more danger in America from over-eating than there is from under-eating, despite the preva- lence Of the reducing fad. More men break down from over-eating after inc age of 40 than break down from over work.
 The United States public health service wants you 10 remember that in order to attain and maintain good health. you must eat good food.
 Sounds Easy
 You must eat the right kind of food and have a balanced ration.
 You must cultivate good eating habits.
 You must not oyer-eat, Avoid too much meat and too many sweets.
 You must have plenty of milk and plenty of vegetables.
 Observe these rules and you will avoid malnutrition and will have taken most important step to- ward the avoidance of preventable disease.
 Food supplies all the energy needed for carrying on the bodily activities: it supplies the materials for the growth and repair of the body; it contains substances which regulate the organs so that each one does it's share. This adequate and proper functioning constitutes good health.
 ... Lowers Resistance
 You should Understand that sickness does not necessarily fol- low undernourishment or poor food, Ii is more important. however. that you understand that if your body is undernourished your re- sistance 10 bacteria is lowered and you extend an open invitation to disease.
 The foods the body needs to sup ply heat and energy are the animal fats. inc vegetable oils and such starchy foods as potatoes. bread, rice, beans and certain other very important substances known as

Dicky Gets the BombshcIl About
 Madge's Job

Madge's Job

Msdge is believing right now that you shared the inspiration and the responsibility for the things your big hearted associate told her, and you have the naive idea that your wife heard the request to go into your office in the same alluring guise with which it came 10 your ears.N
 Dicky's face turned a brick red, and l knew he was hurling anathe- mas at himself for permitting Lil- Hans sardonis tongue the opportun- ity which his use of the phase big hearted woman," as applied to Edith Fairfax had afforded her.
 "Oh, for the love of Mike. Lil," he began, but she gave him no chance to finish.
 T prefer love of Lulu myself" she said with as detached an air as if comparison of slang phrases was the only thing occupying her mind. Its so much more alliterative But stop Hopping your wings, Dicky- bird. It won't get you anywhere, and I'm in a hurry to get this par ticular seance over with.
 "Why Couldn't You Wait?"
 Diclly's face was eloquent with the information that he also was anxious to get through with the ordeal she had imposed upon him. but he said nothing, and Lillian in crisp, rapid speech related the de- tails of Edith's telephone conversa- ton with me. She gave them no establishment. but when she had finished the most obtuse of men must have seen the difference be- tween the humiliating proposal which Edith had made me and the adroit suggestion of appealing for my help which she had made to him.
 There" she said when she had finished. even if it hadn't been m- possible for Madge to take the po- sition, can you blame her for refus- ing an impudent proposal like that 2"
 Dicky is nothing if not honest, and though he stll was furiously angry. I guessed that part of his wrath was directed toward Edith Fairfax. But did not hope 10 come off scot free, and l knew that one phrase Lillian had used would give him an opening for resentful, im-

 Chief among the new street hats is a model patterned along sailor lines, with a narrow. straight brim and a high, stiff crown. This shape. long since a favorite with French women. threatens 10 displace the ubiquitous "gigole" models so smart lis it's general effect and so adaptable to our present tailored street mode.
 An example Of this type of hat is shown in the lower sketch today This model is chic from the tip Of it's high, almost square, crown to the edge of it's small, straight brim. The effect of tailored simplicity is further heightened by the crown of stiff black and gold ribbon ending in tailored bow on one side.
 The other hat is modified beret shane, also of black velvet. It has a large soft crown trimmed with narrow shirred bands of salmon pink velvet ribbon. This model is suitable for wear with afternoon frocks on account of it's soft lines and decorative trimming, Without the shirrcd bands it might be worn with 8 street tailcur or sports frock.

the same as in previous years, to-
gether with consolation prizes for
those not winning any of the first
ten places. The first place prize is
$4,000; the second, $4,000; the
third, $4,000; the fourth, $4,000 and

DETROIT, Dec. 22.-The baseball
scandal Of 1926 fell upon Detroit
fandom like a tub of ice water
dropped suddenly upon a perspiring
turkish bather. The real reaction,
however. probably will not be known
until the gate receipts Of 1927 are
counted.
Tuesday night. following publica-
ton Of the lands statement in Chi

more than two score fans. II this
number is a criterion of what the
feeling here is. a returning Ty Cobb
would be greeted with an ovation by
a mighty gathering while Dutch"
Leonard, possibly, might be mobbed.
After first gasps Of amazement,
the thoughts turned to hot resent
ment about the entire affair. Almost

the fixing Of any game, because he
had too many enemies to fear. But

that type.

Gray Eagle" Speaker stands ac-
,cused by Leonard alone.
Cobb and Wood, and indeed, even
Leonard himself, say the motive for
'Dutch's" revelations is the fact
that Cobb tossed him out of big
league baseball. Cobb called Leonard
a ''bolshevik" on the club, whereas
Leonard complains that the Georgia
Peach was tyrannical and tried to
overwork him.
Cobb in Tears
Cobb, interviewed here Tuesday
night before he left for his home in
Augusta, Ca, was a broken man.
Tears streamed down his cheeks as
he called Leonard's charge, 1.-The
damndest thing that was ever pulled
on a man."
The American League, through it's
attorney, Henry Killilea OF Mil
waulIee, bought the letters from
Leonard for $4,000, Cobb charged.
The very league which he had
helped make great contributed to
breaking down every fine piece of
baseball workmanship he had been
able to build up in twenty-one years,
he claimed.
Frank Navin. owner OF the De-
troit Tigers, claimed that Cobb quit
under fire when the first mention of
the scandal arose.
Speakers resignation came Dec.
IL. 1t was not unexpected, but no
reason could be found why he should
wish to quit the club which he bad
given one worlds championship, and
which at the end of the 1926 baseball
season seemed to be about the best
in the American League.
