Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness

 Milk probably is the most i'm portant of all human foods. It con- tains nearly all of the elements which the body requires. It carries man through the first years of his life. and in later years it and it's products make up a large proportion of his diet.
 A mixture of milk from several COWS is much more sonstant in it's chemical makeup than that from a posite milk is to be preferred for in fants. Ordinary milk contains S7 per cent water, leaving only pos sible 13 per cent for food solids Most state laws now require that milk sold must contain at least 12 per cent solids.
 Milk with less than this amount is not necessarily impure; the buyer simply is not getting his moneys worth.
 Fat Is the most valuable part of whole milk. It is present in the form of an emulsion - tiny particles of it held in suspension - giving milk its normal color. These particles are surrounded by thin albuminous membranes which prevent them from uniting. If milk is beaten, these membranes are broken. the fat par ticles stick together, and butter is formed.
 A number of substances called proteins, of complex chemical com- position, furnish an important food found in milk, although they supply only about half the energy supplied by fats. The principal protein is casein, known as curds in sour milk. Albumin and globulin are other pro- teins present
 Milk deprived of its fat stil is a good food. for proteins are always present, When milk spells, these ele- ments undergo changes and may, when taken into the system, cause illness. But when milk sours by the usual tactic acid bacilli, 1t is an ex- l.cellent food especially for adults.

 Where do you learn all this?" asked Joan. "One to look at you would think that you thought of nothing else than having a good time. And yet in the few days that l have known you have learned from girl of about my own age and of my own understanding more than I have learned all together in the years that have gone before"
 Have you also loved and lost?" she said as she looked at me quizzi- cally.
 Jerrys hand frightened upon mine.
 "I don't know, Joan" I said hon. estly, whether l have ever loved or not. If it is a sudden passion that makes one feel that one cannot live separated from the other, l have never loved. And not having loved, l cannot have a feeling that l have lost"

A Shimmering Gown for Formal Evening Wear Features Two Widely Contrasting Types
 Of Trimming.

A charming model for the vari- ous occasions throughout the sum- mer that require a formal type of evening gown is the chiffon model sketched today. This is smart from the standpoint of both line and trimming and. in addition. is typi- cal of the note of elegance prevail ing at present.
 The most salient feature is the trimming covering the long close fitting bodice. This consists of tiny rhinestones and crystals in a dec orative design of punches of grapes. To further the effect of brilliance, the grapes are outlined with a delicate tracery of silver thread.
 In addition to this gleaming ornament, there is dep border on the skirt of ostrich flues in several tones of light green to harmonize with the absinth shade of the chif- ion.
 As a result of hte elaborate trim ming. the silhouette of this gown is straight as far as the hips. An at- tractive feature of the upper DOT tion, the deep oval decolletage of the bodice filled in with narrow straps in harness effect.
 The slippers are opera models of green and silver brocade, orna- mented with narrow bands of sil- yer kid.
 In addition to a delicate grape design in brilliants and crystals, this pale green chiffon evening frock is trimmed with a wide bor- der of shaded ostrich.

Gallant Moments in Madge's Life
 As Working Girl

As Working Girl.
 All my pride and pleasure in my new position took wings at Philip veritzen's apparently innocuous question, Gan you draw?" I knew that I had no artistic ability what ever, and long association with the successful young illustrator who was my husband had printed the fact indelibly upon my mind. But I had rot thought that drawing would be one of the requirements I had to possess and was not able to keep my chagrined disappointment out of what Lillian calls my transparent face"
 I was furious both at myself and my distinguished employer when he laughed lightly in evident amuse- ment at what he saw in my eyes
 Don't be frightened he said, "You won't have to emulate Whis- tier or Corot. But can you draw we'll enough 10 make accurate copies of = say pictures of weapons, or articles of dress which you may run across in your researches? If you cannot, say so frankly, and I'll send someone around with you who can"
 drew long breath of relief, for I always had been fair copyist, although of originality or ability to sketch from nature. I possessed no whit.
 ''I can copy accurately any simple thing like that which already has been drawn" I assured him con fidently.

In the Days of 0urForefathers

When America was young, the wise pioneer women learned to gather, in woods and fields, the rem- edies the Indians used. From the rafters of colonial houses hung great punches of sdried roots and herbs. From these, in time of sick ness, the busy mother browed rem- edies for her family.
 From roots and herbs, Lydia E. Pinkham,. a descendant of these sturdy pioneers, made her Vegetable Compound. For more than half a century this dependable medicine has been taken by women with very satisfactory results.
 If 1t has helped other women, why shouldn't 1t help you?.-advt.

 Ever since Jimmy had first come to the seashore, he had been greatly interested in the shells. Before com ing to the seashore the only shells he had seen were the shells of land snails and of fresh water mussels, sometimes called clans. But at the seashore he found big shells, little shells, middle-sized shells. smooth shells, rough shells, twisted shells.

A tongue is an exceedingly handy thing to have. Probably you have discovered that. You use it in talking and you use it in eating, and which is the more important of the two uses it is sometimes a bit difficult to tell. There are tongues and tongues.

Stewards Washington Letter
By CHARLES p. STEWART

WASHINGTON, Aug. rs. Groans
were heard emanating from the war
and navy departments the day the
news of President Coolidge's latest
budget plans arrived here from the
Adirondacks.
"Cut to the bone! exclaimed Off.
cials of the two services, when told
that's what the president insists on.
/ why, the army and navy are moth
ing but skeletons already, and some,
even of their ribs are missing. An
other cut and their very spinal col
umns will be in danger!"
! Only the aviation folk can see a
ray of light in the gloom. Their
services, both land and sea, are t.
be expanded.
AS much as two years ago army
men were pointing out that they
simply had to have more money. Bar
racks were falling down. they COM
planned, uniforms were wearing out,
their wartime accumulation of muni-
tions were deteriorating,
They didn't get more. They got
less. And now they're to get still
less.

such lamentations from a crowd of

enthusiasts, of course. To have to
economize' seems to them a national
calamity. 1t may not be as bad TO.
the country as they think it Is.
If they really are right about 1t
however, the prospect is terrible
The navy peoples despair is deeper,
if anything, than the army officers.
THE navy" as young Colonel Theo-
dore Roosevelt told me-this was
long time ago, too, when he was as
sistant secretary-"has been living
off its fat ever since the war"
That is to say, it hadn't been get,
ting any additional nourishment even
then. It's been getting less since
then. Now it's to be cut down still

Up to certain point it may be

yond that point it's Weakening, and
finally fatal.

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE
INDIGESTION

When Bill says we are growing worse
In health and disposition,
AS well as far more short in purse
Because of prohibition,
When he informs me that no man
Can do creative thinking
If silly statutes place a ban
On his habitual drinking,
Because of some reformer's whim,
have no words to answer him.
When Tom insists that men become
In mind and manners better,
The instant that the Demon Rum
Is sternly held in fetter.
When he declares they waste less
time
And get, their work done quicker
And have less tendency to crime
If they cannot get liquor.
Which holds their better selves in
thrall,
1 cannot answer him at all:
A little tippling now and then
May better our condition
And make us happier Again
1t may lead to perdition.
AS for the prohibition law,
Some citizens deride it,
While. others look on it with awe,
But none as yet have tried it.
And so no chance I've ever had
To tell if it is good or bad!
