More Than Camel's Back.

The stories they tell about the
freaks of tornadoeS are hard TO De-
lieve, but they are apparently well au-
thenticated. House with one wall
plucked off and all the bed clothes
whisked off beds, but nothing else
touched, are on record. not to mention
people tossed three miles with small
injury. and whole t1ocks from a poul-
try farm blowing, squawking, through
the streets of towns. A professor OF
meteorology in one of our biggest col
leges has a photograph which he him
self took of straws driven like rivets
by tornado into the steel framework
of bridge across the Mississippi.
Now what do you know about that!
Answers to Yesterdays Questions.
l. In 1883 Charleston was shaken by
an earthquake of exceptional tnten-
sity.
.. The most recent earthquake
shock (at the present writing) occurred
on November % in Idaho.
3. Earthquake waves travel both
through and around the earth.
a. The last serious earthquake on
the other side of the Atlantic occurred
in November in Armenia.
5. An earthquake wave is really a
ripple in the earth's crust. In quakes
of exceptional intensity actual waves
may be seen advancing.
g. Tidal waves are set up by earth
qualxes by the rippling of the ocean
bed beneath them, and by the fact
that an earth tremor on the coast
often throws the water seaward vio-
lently at first. so that it rushes back
as q great wave.

Working Women's Shopping.

Those of us who don't work never
know what shopping problems beset
those who do, woman reader re-
minds me. She is quite despairfng,
100, about her Christmas shopping. As
a matter of fact, office workers like
herself are much better off than many
others. She has many Saturday after
Moons to utilize, and II she had done
some of her shopping early she would
have few cares now.
Women employed all day long in
stores and factories are perhaps at the
greatest disadvantage. While some OF
them are given time TO shop by gen.
erous employers, many are not. Those
who work In stores may use hours on
TO shop within their own stores. They
are enabled in that way to take ad-
vantage Of the stores employees dis
count Factory workers must intruSt
their shopping to competent ones
who have more time at their disposal
Window shopping is a great boon
TO the harassed working woman.
Often the very gifts that she wants
are on display in shop windows. If
she will note the store and article
and take a few brief descriptive notes
she can order il next day by phone.
Window shopping may be done in
most towns almost up to midnight.
Newspaper readers are rewarded by
advertisements that help them out of
their predicament. Many of the
finest as well as the most popular
2ifts are advertised daily in the news
papers. Careful reading of the ads
may solve all of ones shopping puz-
zles. Advertised goods may be or
dered by either phone or letter.
In some towns there are independ-
ent shopping services that will do

FOOD AND. HEALTH
BY WINIFRED STUART GIBBS.
Food Specialist.

The business girl had returned from
trip very much cast down. kindly
hospitality had been too much for her
slightly tired digestion.
There is not a place to eat in New
York. she said. AS this statement
was rather sweeping, it seemed wise
to qualify. it, although one did know
what the =. G.. meant. One who is
forced to depend exclusively on restau-
rant food does get very tired Of 1t.
and when there has been any digestive
upheaval, many of us have seen days
when we would have been willing to
agree with the business girl in saying
that there Is no place to eat"
There is more than appetite in
volved in such "a situation. The busi-
ness girl had not only been tired by
her trip, but she had suffered a vio-
lent attack of food poisoning. After
acute symptoms had subsided, there
was that sensation of don't-care-a-
tive-ness whenever she thought about
food. Because there are other business
girls and business women who have
similar experiences, one is minded to
analyze the problem a bit
When we decide that "there is no
place to eat" it means that it be-
hooves us to look about carefully for

necessarily where the food is elabo-
rate, but u place where certain essen
tials can be counxed upon. This
place must be first of all relatively
quiet. 1t must be possible to relax
restfully when one enters the dining
room. There must be space to move
between the tables SO that while eat
ing the tired nerves are not rasped
by people crowding too close.
Coming to the food, certain demands
must be made and met. The food
when purchased. One says more than
fresh advisedly. Certain foods labeled
"fresh," as meaning of fairly good
quality, will not do for one who is
recovering from such an attack. There
is an indescribable flavor. or rather
lack Of flavor, in food of this grade
that may play havoc, not only with
the appetite, but with the actual di-
gestion, when one is tired. The healthy
body can probably take care Of it and
thrive; not SO the one depleted by
illness.
These directions for finding a place
TO eat may seem vague. Actually,
they are not. One need only to train
ones discriminating faculty so that
he is able to recognize these essentials
for q restoring diet. 1t is all very
well not to let ones self become fussy
or ''per-nickety." There is such q
thing, however, as letting this philo-
sophical attitude get the better Of
ones health.
