Forget the days when we were
taught that cucumbers and a number
Of other vegetables were largely cellu
lose, and therefore non-nutritious. Gu
cumbers, for example. are rich in vita
minis and mineral salts which keep the
processes of the body working well
They also are useful in restoring OF
maintaining the alkaline condition ot
the blood. True. they do furnish
roughage, according to the old-time
teaching, but consider how much
more!
The squash family is a large one
and includes Summer squash, hub
bard squash, vegetable marrow and
others. Practically all of the varieties
contain vitamins and all are useful In
alkaline elements The vegetable mar.
row is related to the squash, as we
have said, but it is not quite SO rich
in food elements.
The pumpkin of pie fame is some
times considered rather coarse unless.
as in the case of pie filling. combined
with milk and eggs. The pumpkin is,
however rich in vitamins: it is aka
line in it's final reaction and it also is
a good source of easily digested starch
and sugar.
Celeriac Is a vegetable not so we'll
known as celery. It, however, should
be employed to give variety to the
diet and in preparing it for cooking,
the directions usually say that it
should be treated the same as white
turnip. Celeriac is a root vegetable
and very similar to turnips.
The oil Of horseradish Is so irri-
tating that many authorities advise

is a root containing a very acrid OIL
This oil. while it gives flavor, is an
indication that the vegetable is a
member of group Of weeds known
to be poisonous. Probably in the
small quantities in which it is con.
sumed horseradish will not make any
one actually i'll. 1t is desirable, how
ever. to know something of it's gen.

Clues to Character
By J. o. ABERNETHY.
The Peter.

Whoever has broad. full chin will
manifest a great love Of physical
beauty-outlines Of figure and perfec-
ton in form which crafty the eye. as
intelligence, grace or goodness should
the mind.
Undoubtedly King David must have
had broad and full chin. Henry
VIII had such a chin. He never
spared man in his wrath nor woman
in his loves. We know that Brigham
Young had a large. full chin, and we
know his characteristics.
A broad, full chin, with face in har-
mony, with full. red lips, will CORE
spond to q good development Of the
social faculties and the enjoyment of
health.
Az women possess. as "A rule. more
of the vital temperament than men.
this sign generally Is large. Social
persons have broad chins. The gentle,
rounded prominence Of the chin ex-
presses the conjugal sign. Your gen
erous and philanthropic person has a
good chin. moderately full and promi-
nent.

FOOD AND HEALTH
BY WINIFRED STUART GIBBS.
Food Specialist.

The business man was looking
thoughtful. Been to lunch?' asked
his friend. "Sure, that's just what 1 N,
thinking about--lunch. you know
he added. a bit vaguely.
Yesterday / went 10 the club fol-
lunch," continued the 3. NJ. In pass.
ing 1t may be noted that his club is
one of the conspicuously successful
clubs for men. noted for its good table
and its "live-wire" membership. ITO
day / went co that cafeteria those col
lege girls are running"
His friend waited silently, know
ing that the whole story would come
soon-and it did.
1t transpired that the business man
had paid 81 for his club luncheon and
had received in return three slices OF
succulent ham with roast potatoes
spinach, ice cream and coffee.
A good lunch for dollar? "Sure"'
says the s. NJ. again. but there was
too much of it-hearty. you know
ham, And then there didn't seem to
be variety OF the right kind Of foods.
Nobody needs dessert for lunch. but l
would have given something for more
vegetables.
$50 today l went to the cafeteria,
as l said before. Fine women. those
home economies girls! Know what to
give a chap"
Stuffed peppers first, all sorts OF
savory and, well-good. you know. y
The masculine vocabulary does not
run to culinary terms, but the descrip-
ton was none the less impressive
'Macaroni with cheese, too" the mar
rator went on. land Il vegetable salad
with coffee, all for 54 cents"
Nov. I don't in the least object to
paying a dollar for my lunch" this
man continued. ut did start me
thinking, though, as to whether the
old club might not learn something
from those cafeteria girls about the
kind Of things folks like for lunch.
The fact that these girls give you bet
ter food for about half as much money
ia something else again, but not the
main point I'm trying to make"
Now this particular business man s
ruminationE may contain the germs of
an idea for the improving of luncheon
menus In clubs the world over! He Is
the first to admit that the club offers
something not to be found In any
cafeteria-restful rooms. congenial
and leisurely talk, and so on. The
point is, however, that the club might
take a leaf from the cafeteria book
and have the more satisfactory type
of luncheon besides it's other attrac-
tive features.
Nor need the idea be applied to i'm.
proving the midday meal Of men S
clubs only. Those planned and oper.
ated for women are equally In the
field for improvement Of their meal
plans. The important thing is. of
course, to remember that the matter
concerns not only the tastes of, club
members, but their health as well.
CONGRATULATIONS are s1lares for the un.
wary. but this one is fairly safe:
Every one is the better for a varied
meal Of light dishes. largely vegetable
in character

Yet that is the meaning of it's name
and the object 'rbund which centers
its origin.
The word bank comes from the mid.
die English "banke," meaning
bench; and the particular bench
from which our vast banking systems
have arisen was the bench OF the gold
smith or silversmith of medieval
towns. These were the fathers of the
institution.
In those days people used to carry
their money to the bench Of the gold
smith or silversmith for safekeeping
and pay him for the service. 1t never
occurred to them to expect interest

1t was not until after 1880 that the
idea of investing ones money for a

No baby, for various reasons-colds,
