Several ladies' who spend small
fortunes yearly with their hair

Mrs. Lea's Tonic before they would

already were doing so. I therefore
hunted up Mrs. Lea and found ner
seated on her porch in Tampa. We
became acquainted, and I was
amazed to learn she Is approaching
30 years OF age.
It seems a doctor from New
England brought his invalid wife to
Tampa years ago in search of health
and rented rooms of Mrs. Lea. AS

John was casual in his response.
TITS true that they have a certain

portunity for a party of some kind.

Ground Pine.

You will see in the Christmas mar
kets the trailing wreaths of the
ground pine, the fairest and dainti-
est of the evergreens upon the forest
floor. The botanical name, Lycopo-
dium, means VOLTS foot. 1t must have
taken a vivid imagination to see any
thing so ferocious as the claw and
paw of the wolf in the frostlike trac-
cry of this tiny plant and it's leaves.
The most ferocious-looking of our
Dycopodiums is only a little shaggy.
For the most part, they are lacy,
ferny. little creepers. resembling tiny
pine saplings. but belonging actually
to one of those curious little families
that, upon q strict scientific basis.

semble anything else in the world
pines, rushes, sedges. Once, so the
fossils written upon the rocks dis
close, the Eycopodiums, or their rela-
tives, were great trees, raining their
golden, infiamable spores down upon
the marshes, till they formed a thick
deposit that caked and was solidified.
Today we burn those spores, in the
form of camel coal. Now, of that
great. gloomy family all are dead
except about 100 species Of Lycopo-
dium, some of which. in the Andes
and the Himalayas, still reach big
size.

sturdier about them. To my eyes, at
least, the glitter on their needy

the pickers so eager the buyers to
get the ground pine, that the Christ.

even say that one should not buy any

buy it very sparingly, If at all.

Saving Money by Revamping Frocks
BY MARY MARSHALL.

dren'S clothes. But maids are very
dear nowadays and readymade clothes
are not. Still there are women who
find that they are able to save
pretty penny by revamping old frocks
and suits and wraps to suit present
day requirements Of fashion.
The sketch shows one of the new
suits made Of plain and plaid mate
rial that suggests a way or making
over a. last years suit or frock. You
may find 1t best to leave the revamp-
ing Of the jacket to the tailor. The
skirt, made Of new checked material,
you may easily make yourself.
American women seem to have lost
their interest in the two-piece suit re-
Gently. and few women include it In
their Winter wardrobes. But there
are plenty Of occasions when the suit
of this sort fills the bill as nothing
else can do II you have a sports
coat, you will find cold Winter days
when the suit worn under the coat Is
both warm and comfortable. For
Winter motoring or travel suit and
coat are indeed well chosen
When the suit L. worn without
coat some sort Of scarf Is usually
worn, and this year the separate fur
scarf has been revived. II you can
not afford one of these. there are
smart wool scar1fs that may be worn
instead. The jacket may have fur
collar, for we no longer feel that the
fur collar is unsuitable to the tailored
jacket.
Leather collars and cuffs look very
smart on the Winter tailored suit and
provide extra warmth where 1t Is
needed-at throat and wrists. II you
want to follow this fashion, you may
be able to find a readymade leather
set Of the sort you want, or you may
make it yourself from a piece of stout
leather.

Nutrition Nuggets

In purchasing meat, let US say
steak, that is to have a long, slow
cooking or braising. chuck is a good
cut. This gives a good flavor, and
the bone may be removed and saved
for soup and the steak tied before
braising. Chuck is not good cut
TO get for a pot roast where fair
slices of meat are desired. A cut OF
meat that is especially nourishing is
that from the round. II you desire
meat with little or no waste, ask for
this special cut. The upper part OF
the round Is more tender than the
bottom part and provides very gooo
broiled steak. Bottom round makes
a very good pot roast. as bone ana
other waste will not trouble the cook.
Practically all fats used as food
have the same effect upon the diges.
tive tract so far as actual food value
is concerned; that is. when the diges.
ton is normal. There are differ.
ences In the hardness from the point
at which the different fats melt.
There is a difference in the digestion.
The melting OF the fat Is higher than
the temperature Of the body. and this
fat does not become fluid in the In.
testines and is therefore not easily
emulsified and digested. Fats that
have a melting point as near the
temperature of the body as possible
are counted most easily digested.
Among these fats are cream. olive
oil, certain nuts and bacon fat.
Most cheeses have about the same
composition, so far as water, fat and
ody.buiiding material are concerned.
They are on the average about one
third water, one-quarter body building
material and one.third fat. This Is
true, of course, only of cheeses that
are made from whole milk. This
statement must be modified slightly
when we come to consider such
cheeses as Neufchatel and Brie and
hard cheeses of which pineapple Is q
type. In these the percentage Of
water and fat will vary somewhat
from the figures given.
While such cereals as wheat, corn
and oats are still counted excellent
foods by those who specialize in nu-
triton, we do not think of these
cereals in quite the same way as we
did a number Of years ago. There
was a time when every child was
taught that he must eat oatmeal. 1t
is more than possible that some of
these children Of an earlier genera.

The "Tumbler."

The word "tumbler" you will find IN
the dictionary; it means legitimately
nothing but lone who tumbles" So
it's application to the glass that holds
our milk or water must obviously be
due to association with a peculiar cir
cumstance.
This is the story:
Many years ago at a luncheon that
Max Miller was giving at All Souls
College, Oxford, to the Princess Alice
and her husband, everybody wondered
at the new round, silver bowls con-
tanning ale beside each place. One OF
these when it was empty was placed
inverted upon the table. Instantly 1t
Jew back face up as II asking to be
filled again. It was so perfectly bal.
anced that no matter how 1t was
treated 1t turned up again and set
tied itself into place, and 1t was on ac.
count Of this similarity to the india
rubber tumble dolls that you can't
keep down that the name "tumbler"
was applied to 1t.
Then drinking glasses came to be
made without stems on convex bases
in which they would tumble" and the
name still held, as 1t does to this day.
in spite OF the solid. fiat bottoms Of
our less precarjous "tumbler."

John sat down in a comfortable

the traditional Jersey mosquito. There
was a mysterious violet light over
everything and a wild chirping of
birds in the linden trees along the
street.
Natalie had taken up her knitting
and her needles were clicking busily.

BROOKLINE, Mass.
Would you kindly explain how the
provisions of the Westminster con.
fession of faith. which understand is
the official creed of the Presbyterian
Church. can ever be included as part
Of any Christians belief?
Answer am unallured by the
dogmas of predestination and election
to which you doubtless refer. But as
they have ceased to be vital issues,
what need Is there to be 80 seriously
disturbed by them?
In any case your indictment of the
confession is entirely too severe. Its
formulators were learned, able and
devout divines. And, although their
work contains decided drawbacks and
highly disputatious articles, as a pure
ly intellectual achievement 1t ranks
with the best of It's kind in the pre-
vious history Of Christian thought.
Judged as a social factor, the con.
fession outweighs in political power
and efficacy the legislative acts Of a
score of parliaments and congresses.
The men and women who accepted it's
tenets could be tyrannical. but they
were always the terror of tyrants.
Did not some one say that the Col
onial Presbyterians kicked George
HIS crown into the Atlantic?
Considered as a religious formu-
larry, the confession has nurtured the
spiritualities of not q few leaders OF
the worlds foremost states and most
influential Protestant churches. 1t
maintains the moral sovereignty of
God and the supremacy OF the Chris.
tian faith. AS a historic document.
It's monuments are free common
wealths around the globe.
Even the dogmas you and | agree
to discard installed O. philosophy
provocative of profound meditation
and bred personalities who, so far
from disappearing Deity. exalted Him
above all earthly thrones and prin-
ctpalities.
Regarded in themselves, predes-
tination and election may make no
celestial music for your ears. But
viewed in the light Of a great past,
the confession in it's entirety cannot
be SO lightly dismissed as you sup
pose. One might as well indict the
Magma Charta because 1t did not ex.
piicitly announce the principles of
modern democracy.
