other women there's usually very
good reason. Taking women big and
large, they are not addicted to that
particular form of jealousy. OF
course YOU cannot expect girls to be
crazy about you if you vanmp ali
their boy friends away from them.
However, as it seems inconceivable
that a nineteen year old girl e
she ever so beautiful and charming
can run off with ALL the available
men, your unpopularity with women
must be due solely to the attitude
expressed in your letter "Pm real
" not terribly concerned, etc.
And until you change your attitude
you can never know happiness, JOY,
understanding and sympathy that
can be found in the companionship
of a woman.

Things You should Know
WALKING.

To walk in a circle within a bed
room is better exercise than sit
ting in a rocker in the same room;
to walk, even in a similar circle
outdoors, multiplies the benefits by
several hundred. Walking on pave
ments is advisable where one can
do no better; but, it is walking on
the ground, through the forest,
over the hills, down the wales, in
the jungles, on the golf-course,
along the stream-in such places,
there is no sort of exercise its
equal.
The hunter Of wild game,-the
fisherman, or other outdoor tour
list looking for highly-desirable
trophies, may return empty-hand-
ed, tired, worn, discouraged; they
may forget that the physical tests
endured are worth many times
more than full game-bag or creeL
Nimbleness of foot may be ac-
quired, but not by repose in the
arms of the swivel-chair. An
active, capable body is necessary
to health and success; don't look
for them from the window Of a
touring car along paved highways.
All the organs Of the body were
created for use-for service; to
dwarf their size and destroy their
power by Incidence or laziness, is a
sin for which there is no forgive
ness-the penalty must be paid.
Most if not all of our physic
shortcomings might disappear IL
we kept each part Of our anatomy
up to the standard of full capabili-
ty by well-directed exercise-and
of all the exercises, walking is
among the best.

An Oriental rug covered the entire

a group of hand-carved walnut chairs,

A great part of the fun of any kind
Of play consists in using the magma

In the same way it is better to use

IMPORTANT MINERALS.

The blood is enriched by certain
minerals in our food, beyond
question. l mention Lime, (Calci-
um) Potassium, Iron and Iodine as
among hose of first Importance.
These minerals abound in earth,
and are taken up by plants which
grow everywhere in the soil. Food
animals get the minerals by eating
the plants, and store them in the
red muscles, such as our beef
steaks, hams and mutton-chcps.
Our animal and plant foods arc
richer in mineral content wAcn
they are grown on the lower teve.i
of soil. The hills lose continual y
their minerals by rainfall and
drainage, so that hill-growA ami
mails and plants are poorer in
mineral values.
The chief value of the minerals
is in the growth Of bone in chill
dren, particularly the teeth. The
milk of a cow grazing in the hills
is much poorer food for the child
than from a cow that fattens on
valley food. Corn, wheat, garden
vegetables are far more nutritious,
if crown in bottom lands. The care
less observer even, may have
noticed that cattle in mountain
sections Of the country carry less
TAT than animals of the lower
plains. Vegetation is more dwarfed
on the sunburned, arid hill-sites.
The reason is, that the minerals
have been washed away from the
elevations.
And, haven't you noticed that
the adult human being in higher
attitudes is, generally wiry, with
thinner muscles, as well as more
nervous" in temperament? Miner
ais are feeders for nerves as well
as for muscles. The logical con-
clusion therefore is, if you are toe
fat, seek moderately high alti-
tudes; if too lean, try to secure
your cereals, vegetables and meats
from the rich, alluvial valleys o.
the lower levels.

The trouble with most writing and
stage productions is that they stifle
the imagination by overlooking it.
There are those who hold that it
is better to read a play than to see
it acted, for when you read your ina
gination can picture the scene, where
as when you see the play all the work
of your imagination is done for you.
A suggestion to the imagination is
better than too much.
The Orientals understand this and
their scenery in the play is of sug-
gestive kind and is not realistic. For
instance, when a boat is to be depict
ed a real boat is not brought on the
stage, but some contraption that can
suggest a boat.
