mite broken light wire, at least
such is the supposltion, no witnesses
being present when the fataiity
occurred.
1t seems that on that evening one
of the electric lights in one of his
bath rooms had gone out and Heg-
fors west into the room to see what
was the trouble. A few minutes lat
er he was discovered by some mem
hers of the family lying on the floor
of the room. A physician was at
once summoned, but life was ex-
tinct.
A telegram was received here Fri
day by Mrs. M. and Miss M. Can

them of the death that day in Port

What Tomorrow Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Leo.

Leu.
TomorroW's planetary aspects are.
on the whole, adverse and 1t VIII De
necessary to exercise much SELF
control. There will be something in
the air that will promote suspicion
and distrust, combined with jealousy.
Lethargic conditions will also be
sensed, tending to provoke Incidence
and indifference. If you permit your
mind to be influenced by such
thoughts as these feelings will en-
gender a miserable Sunday is In store
for you. Rise superior to them and
the day can be made replete with
happiness.
Children born tomorrow will In
early infancy suffer from one or more
grave illnesses that will justifiably
cause alarm and anxiety. They will
at this time need ever-watchful care
and skilled treatment. Once this pc.
Rod is successfully passed they Will
develop rapidly and along normally
physical lines Their characters Will
be dependable and trustworthy,
although their dispositions, especially
in their teens, may leave much TO
be desired. They will be boisterous
and show happy knaek for getting
into all sorts of trouble. They viii,
however, show no traces of vicious
ness. They will not be very ambi-
tious. but, nevertheless, will attain
in the fullness of time fair measure
of success.
If tomorrow is your birthday, you
are more artistic than practical and
YOU are musical You are, to GER
tain extent. temperamental and at
times YOUR unreasonable whims and
fancies are the despair OF your init
mates You are quick to form likes
and dislikes, and very frequently the
former are unfortunate and the latter
are unjust. You believe in your pow
ers of intuition. The truth remains,
however, that you are the victim
of unframed emotionalism. You pos
sess a magnetic personality and can
easily attract by your charm and
ever-ready wit.
You are large-hearted and your in
stincts are often noble and uplifting.
You, however, find IL difficult to at
tune your actions to your better i'm
pulses.
You love with strength and devo-
ton and are exceptionally lucky If
mated with one who takes a common
sense view of life and does not dwell
in the "high,falutin' realms of i'm
practicability.
Well known persons born on that
date are: Thomas Eakins, artist

ventor; Amadeo Bassi. operate tenor:

EAT AND BE HEALTH Y
Dinah Days Daily Talks on Diet
The Right Food Is the Best Medicine

In addition to supplying mineral
salts and vitaminS, vegetables give
bulk to the diet. This bulkiness. due
to the fiber or cellulose, has a laxa-
tive effect.
1t is possible by wrong cooking to
make vegetables almost valueless.
The mineral elements may be lost in
the cooking water and thrown away.
One good rule for making the most
of both flavor and food value in cook
ing vegetables is to steam or bake
them instead of boiling them. If
they have to be, boiled, cook them
whole and in their skins rather than
in small peeled pieces. Another good
way is to cook them zen casserole.
If II is necessary to peel the yege
tables, only the strong favored ones
such as cabbage, onions, caulif1ower
and turnips should be boiled rapidly
in an uncovered vessel with much
water. If possible, the water should
then be made use of in soup.
The mild Favored vegetables should
be cooked in small quantity OF
salted water, absorbed at the end of
the cooking period.
Spinach really requires no other
water than the moisture which re.
mains after it's cleansing bath. Peas
can be steamed in their shells. The
peas will almost shell themselves with
this treatment, and the color. flavor
and mineral salts are retained.
Vegetables play such an important
part in the diet that. when 1t is neces-
sary to cook them, utmost care must
be exercised to keep their full value
and flavor.
X Mis- canned milk nourishing?
Ans.--Yes Condensed milk which con-
tains sugar yields more calories to
the ounce than the unSweetened,
evaporated milk, but that is because
of the added sugar. 1t is not as d.
gestible as the unsweetened variety
and should never be given to chill
dren in any form,
j. L. B.--I am Overweight and try
ing to reduce. Would you advise
exercise? Ans.--Diet Is the in5por-
tant thing to watch. Setting up ex-
ercises prescribed by q physician can
be used, though dancing or even brisk
walks will furnish enough exercise. .

Vegetables are made or marred by
cooking. Flavor and appearance de-
mend upon the cook AS one dtetitlan
said about cabbage. s'1n raw state
cabbage is digested in the ordinary
stomach in two and one-haf hours.
After 1t has passed through the hands
of the ordinary cook cabbage takes
fives hours to digest.
Some years ago, 1t was thought
necessary to cook everything. Every
vegetable had to be stewed and
stewed and stewed swimming IN
nlanty of water Such treatment
renders vegetables practically worth
less. All the mineral salts and vita
Minis, for which they are extremely
valuable, are boiled out of them. or
course. the loss of this valuable nour-'
ishment Is the principal concern. but
such cooking renders vegetables fla
yorless.
Cabbage was put on at breakfast
In order to be ready at night. Cab
bage should be quartered and quickly
cooked uncovered in boiling salted
water until tender. This will require
about three-quarters of an hour, de-
pending upon the age. Then drain
the cabbage thoroughly. The water
can be saved for use in vegetable or
can also be steamed until tender.
This win take about an hour In
this way all of the mineral salts are
conserved Or it can be cooked In
a. casserole about an hour with a
little water, or cream, butter, pepper
and salt Carefully boiled cabbage
is delicate, easy to digest and is
white and slightly.
When corn is subjected to terrifnc
boiling, it is rendered tough and in
digestible. Husk the corn, carefully
removing the silk. Put the ears into
a large kettle of boiling water. The
water can be seasoned with one table
spoon sugar and one tablespoon vine
gar to the gallon. The sugar helps
TO sweeten the corn and the vinegar
tends to keep the corn white. The
corn should boil Ave minutes. You
must not try to cook the cob. The
quick cooking is enough for the
grains. Long. boiling renders the
corn tough.

PALE HANDS
BIN HAZEL DEYO BACHELOR.

Standing in the doorway. Leila
shivered. There was SO much pent-up
emotion in the boys voice. so much
feeling that was genuine. lie really
loved Mona Kingsley, Mona who had
no capacity for love of any kind.
Mona who encouraged him only De-
cause she lived on admiration and
could never get enough 1t was
tragic.
Mona was speaking
'tRonny, we mustn't discuss this
any longer. l simply refuse to listen.
We're going to be late for the theater
as il is"
At that moment Leila made delib-
crate noise and came forward into the
room. AS she held Mona's wrap for
her and handed her the bag she was
conscious OF the fact that Mona was
eying her sharply. But she did not
raise her own eyes: she kept them de-
liberately lowered, and moment later
they departed.
This conversation that she had over
heard made Leila realize more clearly
than ever just what type of woman
Mona was. Beautiful as poets
dream, but cold as ice and heartless.
Ronny had likened her to snow
queen, and she was like that. She
did not want Ronny, but nevertheless
she encouraged him for his extrava-
CANT boyish worship of her. II was
gratifying to her vanity to know that
one of the most popular men in her
set was dancing attendance on her.
Leila realized, of course, that she
had no business to eavesdrop, and
yet she had hesitated about breaking
in on the scene at it's height. She felt
that il would have been far more UNI
comfortable for Mona if she had made
an appearance earlier. and then, too,
it wasn't as If she intended to repeat
what she had heard. 1t was none of
her business what Mona did. except
ing that now she was more than ever
sorry for Richard.
AS she Strengthened up Mona's bed
room. hanging up dresses and putting
lingerie into drawers, Leila could not
help wondering how many times this
had happened in Mona's life. How
many men had she drawn into her
tolls only to laugh at them when they
grew serious? And if so. no wonder
Richard Kingsley wore a perpetual
scowl; no wonder his lips were SO
stern and his voice bitter. Strange
indeed if he were anything else but a
cynic, particularly if he had loved
her very much, and how gould any
one help doing that?

A Family Party.


Children love parties of all kinds
but the party they like best is the
family party. There comes q day
when father and mother and the
children rise early. scramble through
breakfast. Scurry around nndlng
things that have hidden themselves
lust when they are wanted, and at
last set sail for some delightful place
and occupation.
The one l like best is blueberrying
That means early breakfast, full
luncheon baskets and a group of
prancing children rafting tin pals
and measuring tins and squealing
at intervals: Here's the car. Quick,
here's the car Oh. no, it isn't. May
be he's broke down. Heb? Uncle,
do you think we'd better go down
the hill and see if he's coming? May
be he's broke DOWN."
But at last the car comes and We
all pile in, baskets that rest on your
feet and tin pans that rap your un-
happy elbows and the dog, which
wants to sit on everybody's lap and
kiss the crowd wholesale. When it
has at last been captured and as
signed a place on the shelf under
the hood, we start off for the foot of
the mountain.
Once there, we unload, distribute
the load and start up for the lodges.
The boy wants to carry all the
luncheon. He is quite sure that il is
not heavy. not heavy at all. And Old
Charley has too much. But he is
given his sweater and tin pail along
with the rest and falls, grumbling
happily. into line.
The first climb is quite stiff, and
after sitting in the car for a time we
are not as much like skipping kids
as our imaginations pictured. Soon
we are warmed up and begin to
chatter Then we miss the youngest
lad We halt and each says: why,
/ thought you had him, I saw him
with you. Where in the world

tossing into the pail. BY and by he
tossed something over that fell close
to Danny. You should have seen
Danny scamper. Little by little
Danny's courage returned until
finally he crept back to see what it
was that had fallen there. He found
something that at once reminded him
of the fresh water CLAIMS he had seen
Jerry Muskrat opening and eating,
only this was white. The shell had
been broken and that was why The
man had thrown it away. Danny
could see inside that broken shell.
There was something that reminded
him again of those fresh water
clans he had seen Jerry Muskrat
eating.
Bv and by the man had pailful
of these things and off he went.
Danny stole out to see where the
man had been digging. He found
a number of small things like the one
that had been thrown up beside him
only these were not broken. He saw
one of them push a long neck out
of one end and presently squirt
water. Just then along came Tattler
the Yellow-legs.
Well" said Tattler Il see you
have found out what clam is.
Are those clams?" Danny asked
rather stupidity.
"Of course, they're clans" replied
Tattler. ''See, there is one with his
shell partly open. If you want to
get pinched good and hard, just put
paw in there.
mo. thank you" replied Danny
and even as he spoke that clam
closed it's shell and withdrew the Ions
neck inside. II suppose" said Danny
that if Jimmy Skunk were here he
would say that those were fish"
OF don't know what Jimmy woulc
say replied Tattler. but CLAIMS are
called shellfish. There are several
kinds of CLAIMS. This one is called
the soft -shelled Clam and Is found
mostly in sand and mud of such
places as this"
Huh" said Danny. II don't cal
that shell soft" You see. Danny haC
been trying his teeth on bit OF
shell that he he'd found.
Tattler chuckled. Well, it may
not be soft, but it breaks lot easier
than the shell of some other clans.

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Mrs. C. f. writes II have been
benefited so much by your column
that I am coming to you with my
trouble. My baby is four months
old and weighs 1914 pounds. He
weighed seven at birth. He is
nursed every three hours during the
day and at night. He wakes every
night and goes to sleep right after
he Is nursed. He is a strong baby
and raises himself alone. though we
don't urge him to.
Whenever / eat greens. lettuce,
beans or tapioca pudding he throws
up soured milk afterward. Also
when / eat oranges, radishes and
onions. l drink lots of cocoa, eat peas
and some fruit. and coffee just with
breakfast He is a good baby unless
eat those foods. l have heard 1t is
the vinegar that bothers him, but
how can / eat green's without it?"
Answer-It is unusual for a baby of
four months, especially such a sturdy
rascal, to have any collie due to his
mothers food My belief is that any
food which does not cause digestive
troubles in the mother, won't hurt the
baby, and good general diet Is bet
ter far than a limited one. 1t is
noticed by most baby nurses that
q. mother has INDUCED In cabbage or
onions, but otherwise few foods
show any bad effects on the baby.

with Just butter and salt. as with
vinegar. Try chopping them very
finely, add a hard boiled egg and
plenty of butter and salt. A table
spoon or two of chicken or beef gravy,
thicksned, helps the favor.
Use lemon juice instead Of vinegar.

Don't eat onions, and as for tapioea
