These "Grippy" March Days

We are facing what Is gener-
ally called the most difficult
month of the year. Resistance
is at low ebb perhaps after a
Winter of storms, and even
though we live in what Is known
as a temperate climate, we are
almost certain to have snow and
sleet with which to battle. 1t Is
no novelty to be told that Spring
tonics are better obtained from
the food we eat than from the
drug store bottles. The body
regulating and life-giving vita
Minis are contained in such foods
in rich abundance What we do
not always realize is that we are
apt to have mistaken notions
about "building-up" diets for
Spring.
Suppose. for example, that
we have lost more weight than
is good for us during the Win
ter's strain. One of our first
cares should be to get that
weight back. 1t can be got back
according to our individual likes
and digestive capabilities. Other
things being equal. fresh cream
and unsalted butter are the best
helps. Let us not be afraid of
our silhouettes. but let us think
of our depleted systems.
Another important thing to re-
member about Spring diets is
that simply because we feel tired
we do not need an extra guam
tity of what is known as protein
or bodybuilding food. 1t has
been pretty well established that
the demand for this type of food.
as represented by meat. milk and
and eggs. is constant. What the
body does need in time of stress
Is extra energy, and part of this
will already have been obtained
in the cream and butter. Let us,
get the remainder of the extra
energy that is required from
carefully chosen desserts. Ice
cream is excellent for this pur-
pose. So are rice and tapioca
and cornstarch custards, par
ticularly If served with chocolate
sauce. Finally, let us not whip
up nerves already tired with
even the mildest stimulants. Not
that it is necessary to cut out
reasonable allowances of tea and
coffee, but let us be especially
careful not to overdo our use Of
these beverages. A glass of
fruit Juice for the second cup of
breakfast coffee or a glass of
milk in place Of the second cup
Of tea at luncheon will work
wonders all around.

Runs Against Moving
Automobile in Effort
To Avoid Another

The time when an automobile could
run down pedestrian with impunity
Is no more. Now the automobiles Is in
quite as much danger from the pedes-
trian as the latter is from the former.
judging from the outcome Of an acct
dent which occurred about o'clock
Tuesday morning on Water street and
in which a pedestrian ran against a
moving automobile with sufficient force
to break one Of the windows in the
machine.
The accident happened nearly in
front Of Masonic Temple, as Forrest
Tyson, Jr., started to cross Water
street. He stepped into the street on
the east side Of the thoroughfare and
was passing in front Of large auto
mobile which was parked at the curb
when the car started to move. Glanc-
ing hurriedly in both directions young
Tyson increased his pace to effect the
crossing before the machine had
reached him, but unluckily he did not
see another automobile which was
about to pass the first. The result
was that he ran against the side of
the second machine, driven by Roland
Tilton of Waterville, broke the glass
in the door and was thrown to the sur
face of the street, the handle of the
door catching him under the left
shoulderblade. A deep cash on his
left cheek and bad bruise on the left
shoulder wete the only injuries suf-
fered by the boy, although his clothes
were torn in several places. No blame
was attached to the Waterville driver.
