Ringw0rm of Hands and Feet.

A new form of ringworm, affecting
chiefly the hands and feet, has been
recognized in the last few years. This
condition was formerly called "ec-
zenla"
In a technical article on the prev
alence of the trouble, DR.. Joseph
Rrumberg, Buffalo skin specialist, re-
marks that doubtless there has al
ways been a certain number of cases
of this form of ringworm, but it
seemed to come to a crisis when three
or four million young. men were
thrown into such close contact in the
Army A few years after the Army
was demobiized the trouble became
prevalent among the general popula-
ton.
DR.. Brumberg finds that the infec-
ton occurs wherever people walk
about barefoot, as in symnasiums, in
baths. athletic clubs, swimming pools,
Summer resort beaches or in the
home, One affected person leaves a
bit of loose skin which carries some
of the ringworm fungi, the next bare
foot person comes along and picks up
the flake of skin on his toes and SO
ACQUIRES the disease. Touching or
scratching his toes with his fingers.
the victim spreads the trouble to his
hands and forearms and sometimes
to other parts of the body.
Characteristic features of this ring
worm dermatitis are:.

Milk for Growing Children.

About seven years ago f.. V. Nc
Collum, food specialist, wished to see
how far, the nutrition experiments on
animals were applicable to human be
ings. Experimental studies on swine
and rats had shown the Importance
of milk and the leaves of plants for
their growth and Wellbeing. How
about growing children?
The investigators visited many in
stitutions. They came upon one eX-
actly suited to their purpose. It
housed 236 children, ranging in age
from babies to II years. The build
ing in which they were housed was
of good construction. 1t was well
ventilated, had good toilet facilities,
sun porches and 10 acres of ground.
Those in charge were doing every
thing they possibly could for the chill,
dren. But funds were small. Casual
inspection showed that the children
were undernourished. 1t seemed
that if the children were suffering
frOm malnutrition. faulty diet was the
cause. Permission was granted the
investigators to improve the quality
of the diet and observe whether or
not the children responded in growth
and wellbeing.
Eighty-fo children, between 4 and
10 years, were selected for study. They
were divided into two groups of a.
each, care being taken so that any
child in>one group was comparable in
age. size and condition to a child in
the other group.
One group was fed the institution
diet. This consisted of a soup, made
of a fairly wide variety of food stuffs
together with all the bread the chill
dren cared to eat. Cereal was fire
quently served for breakfast. E,X

What Tomorrow Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are
fairly good. although not especially
favorable. They undergo a violent
change after sundOWn and become
quite unprOpitious, engendering mis-
givings and doubt. The day cannot,
by any strech of imagination. be con-
sidered auspicious for the launching
of any new enterprise. 1t is, how
ever, a valuable opportunity for re-
search work, or for the preparation
of any plan of future activities. There
will not be sensed any feeling of
resoluteness or determination. There
will be present, though, ability to
judge well, and clear vision. In the
evening, and In order to counteract
the bloominess of mind that will pre-
vail, resort should be had to recrea-
tional relaxation.
Children born tomorrow will, dur
ing infancy and until they are we'll ad-
vanced in their teens" enjoy rugged
health. and be practically free from
all ailments. Some short time, how
ever, prior to their attainment of
adulthood they will experience a Sc
riOus "set t-back'-either by illness or
accident. Their dispositions will be
rather boisterous, but they will never
abuse their strength, or show any
signs of meanness. Their characters
will need a lot of building as
they will always be striving to please
Although devoted to outdoor sports
they will not neglect their studies
in which they will be more plodding
than brilliant.
If tomorrow is your birthday, yo,
have an amorOus disposition. Har-
monious and pleasant surroundings
freedom from care, and not too much
to do, are apparently essential tC
your happiness and peace of mind
Even this does not afford you per
feet content and more so than others
YOU need some one to slove you anC
whom you can love. All your tastes
are domestic. and you have no par
ticular ambition to shine either ir
business or in society. You are dem
onstrative, very thoughtful of those
near and dear to you, very easy to
please and unusually amiable. There
is, of course. "a fly in the ointment" +"
and, in your case, it shows itself ir
unreasonable iealousy-as undeservet
as it is unnecessary. Your sphere OF
happiness will always be the home
and. if mated with one born in MAY
or November, YOU should lead con
tented, although, perhaps, not a very
useful life.

wholly remote. But the flower of st.
John 's-wort, is endearingly itself. and
it's name chimes with legends Of long
ago.
The wort part of the name has no
relation to Worts, but is strange
spelling of the Anglo-SaXon vert
which probably meant the same as
weed.
According to an ancient tradition,
which probably runs back to Druidical
worship, st. John 'swort symbolizes
the sun. giver of life.
On Midsummed day English and
German people used to hang it on
their houses as a protection against
witchcraft and demonds.
In Christian times the old pagan
saturnalia of Midsummer became the
holy day of st. John the Apostle. But,
as chance has it, our American st.

possess high food value, as, from the
standard of calorieS and prOteinS, it
left little to be desired.
| The easiest way to improve the
quality of the diet without cookery
was the addition of milk. According
ly, one group of ~ children received
one quart of whole milk each per day
during the demonstration period. This
was prepared from milk powder.
There was. only one child in the in
stitution group which made any ap-
preciable gain during the 15 months
of the demonstration, ....-. g.,

contrast to the institution group.
Several of the children increased so
per cent more in weight during the
first year. The results at the end of

was decided to supplement the diet
Of the institution group with a quart
of milk per day for each child to see
if they were capable of development.
During the next six months many
in the institution group grew as rap
idly as the first milk-fed youngsters
had done.
The investigators came to the con-
clusion that a diet selected from
cereals. tuberS. fleshy roots and meats
was not satisfactory for the physica

was shown to be necessary for the

Instead he seemed to take her Tor

Dinner for Four.

On the evening they were to dine
with the Arrowsmiths Jimmy called
Betty on the telephone at 5 O'Clock.
I'm detained downtown and it
won't be SO easy for me to call for

place. l phoned Dick Arrowsmith and

Betty assented because she wouldn't
for the world inconvenience him. but
for all that she did not exactly like
the idea. Wouldn't the ArrOwsfniths
think it strange if she went alone to
a mans apartment? And yet she was
engaged to Jim. and people weren't so
fussy about such things in these days.
Perhaps she was foolish to imagine
such things, but she did wish that Jim
was going to call for her.
The excitement of dressing, how
ever, raised her spirits. She was wear
ing her daffodil' evening frock for the
first time. and silver slippers, and the
lovely Spanish shawl Jim had brought
| from Atlantic City. When she was

! loveliness of her appearance. although

was inclined to be very friendly.

Cornell dropped in to show 1t to my

Betty dropped into a chair beside

Jimmy came in from the kitchenette,
carrying loaded tray which he put
down on the table. He was flushed
and handsome in his dinner coat. and
Bettys eyes rested on him with frank
admiration in their depths. He did
everything with such a flourish. but
when he said gayly, Cocktails for
you girls and Scotch and settler for

had never tasted anything to drink.
She took the glass when 1t was
passed to her and tasted the cocktail
