and carried by wind to the land!
3. Is it known how the potato mo
siac disease is carried?
4. Is there any anatomical charac-
teristic by which people with a slight
degree of feeble-mindedness may be
recognized!
Answers to. these questions may be
found:
/. Yes. There is one common mos
quito which feeds only on cold-blooded
animals.
.. No. Rain or snow forms where
it falls and is not carried ready formed
for long distances by the wind. Warm,
moist air rising is cooled as it reaches
the upper air until the moisture it
contains condenses and falls in rain
or snow.
3. Yes. The potato mosaic disease
is spread by aphids which usually live
over winter on rose bushes.
4. No. Unless feeblc-mindedness is
due to cretinism or too small a brain
case, there is no way by which a
slightly Predetermined person may be

a woman love man.
IL I knew the answer. dear heart.
I should be somewhere in palace on
the Riviera. on a honeymoon with the
Prince of Wales or Rudolph Valen-
tino, instead of sitting here at my
desk.
A man loves a woman for the same
reasonless reason. for which a woman
loves a man-"just because
He will pass right by the woman
who would make him happy for life
and marry the one who will make him
most miserable.
He will risk the lifelong love Of n
queen of all the charms and virtues
in the world, in order to flirt with a
little two-spot, with a naughty little
twinkle in her eye and "gimme-com-
pick"
He will exchange the Kohinoor OF
great romance. for string of cheap
imitation slass-bead adventures and
flirtations.
A woman with the face Of n Ma
donna and the brilliancy of a Madame
de Stacl will leave him cold. while

FOODS WITH ALKALINE
REACTIONS.

1t is Of course important that we
now know those foods which will give
us a balance of alkalinity and include
them freely in our menus. -
The following list is arranged
somewhat in order. those having
highest potential alkalinity coming
first, though many of those mention
ed last are valuable sources of po-
tential alkalinity: &.
Raisins, almonds. dried beans and
peas, carrots, beets, celery, potatoes.
lemons, oranges, grapefruit, musk
melon. lettuce, cabbage family,
peaches, apples, bananas and milk.
Summarizing the list, we may say
that vegetables, fruits, nuts and milk
have potential alkalinity and should
therefore be given a prominent place
in our dietary.
1 suggest that you clip this article
to compare with tomorrow's on po-
tential acidity.

A Wrong Expression.

Dear Mrs. Bceckman
Will you kindly settle the follow
ing armament?
A claims that it is improper to say
that one stood up" for a person in
marriage. He says the correct way
to say it is II was her bridesmaid
b claims that both are correct.
II. +.
A is correct. A person who uses
good English does not say stood up

or AZ was her bridesmaid" or / was
his best man. The expression stood
up for" is colloquial, and not in good
use. Avoid this expression.

CORRECTING A MISCON-
CEPTION.

1t is hard for the person unfamiliar
with chemistry to believe that such
sour fruits as grapefruit, lemons and
oranges can produce an alkaline con-
dition when digested, but such is true.
The acids found in fruits are called
organic acids. During the process Of
digestion they produce bases which
neutralize those acids which result
from the digestion of certain protein
foods. That sounds rather complicat-
ed. but it is a fact. and long before
this VIC have all realized that our
bodies are marvellous chemical labora-
tories in which many other strange"

WHAT 1T MEANS.

We all know that the word poten'
tial means having power to do or pro-
duce. Potential energy is latent en-
ergy as illustrated by spring, wound
up tightly and fastened. Energy is
quite evidently stored in that coil and
is called potential.
When released it is active or kinetic
energy. Now with certain classes Of
foods we find that, due to their chemi-
cal composition and their reaction in
the body after digestion. they have the
power to make an acid condition or
an alkaline condition in our blood.
In other words. they have potential
nlkalinity" or "notential aridity.,

EAST CONFERENCE
MAY COME OUT BREAK
HARVARD, PRINCETON

New York, Nov. 1k-P,-The
breakup of the historic Big Three,
brought about by Princeton's deci-
sion to snap all athletic ties with
Harvard because of Ill feeling sur
rounding their gridiron relations. may
lead to a shakeup all along the east
ern football front and the formation
of an eastern conference.
The ground work for such a radical
realignment Of college athletic inter-
ests already has been laid to such an
extent that many close observers ex-
pect Princeton to be invited without
| delay to join group that would en-
brace Columbia, Cornell. Dartmouth.
and Pennsylvania, with Brown,
! Army, Navy and possibly Yale also
sought as members.
| The possibility of such an associa-
ton, already known to be under dis
cussion, was an outstanding develop
ment today as eastern eyes iocussed
on the swift stroke that put an end
overnight to the oldest OF all football
! rivalries.
| Any prospect that the sudden
| breach between Princeton and Har-
ward might be closed. as suggested
| today by such prominent Crimson
supporters as Howard Elliot, presi-
dent of the Harvard board of over
seers, apparently was eliminated by
a statement from athletic authorities

| One of the most important factors
from the Tiger viewpoint, was the at
