Fruit Drinks.

This is the season for cool beVer
ages and instead of indulging in soft
drinks" purchased from uncertain
sources, we shall all he wise if we
prepare our own fruit drinks at home,
The acids contained in fresh fruits
are burned in the body precisely like
other foods and the result is alkaline.
This means that those who suffer
from any tendency to acidoSis will be
especially benefited by the use of
such drinks. Children. on the other
hand, will enjoy this variation Of
their Summer milk and their grow
ing bodies will also reap considerable
benefit from the body-regulating salts
contained in the fruit.
While oranges and lemons lend
themselves ideally to the connection
of beverages of this type, the juices
of almost any fresh or stewed fruits
may be added. One especially attrac-
tive summer drink is 81 prohibition
mint julep. This beverage is made
by boiling four cups of water and two
cups of sugar for 20 minutes Twelve
sprigs of fresh mint are chopped
and covered with one and one-half
cups Of obiling water. After the amount
has stewed for five minutes, 1t is
strained and added to the sirup. Then
come the fruit juices. Add a cup of
orange juice, the Juice of eight lem
ons and cup of strawberry sirup.
Mix all the liquid in large bowl
and dilute with chilled water to taste.
Serve with mint leaves.

Clues to Character

They Overlook Details.

If this type sees a fight, an accident
or what not, his description of the
occurrences will be quite different
from yours, yet both had equal OPP
portunities to gather the facts. Tell
him u story, fiction or facts, and
when he relates it to others 1t is
hardly recognizable.
You will encounter this individual
in business and social life. He some
times acquires "a reputation for lying
and often is called tricky. But it is
not that he intends to tell IL false
hood; he just cannot see it as you do.
Doubtless, you have an acquaint
ance of this type. Have You ever
noticed that his eyes are set close
together? Particularly just above the
top of his nose where it bends into
the forehead. The distance from eye
to eye Is not only meager but the
nose is thin and sharp. They are not
as dependable as those set wide apart.
Persons with eyes very close to
gether should not be criticized too
harshly for not seeing things clearly.
There is a reason for their failure to
get clear visio9 of what they see
and hear. Their faculty of percep-
ton is small and they overlook de

Flap-doodle
BY FLORENCE DAVIES.

Imagine this. 1t was announced
TODAY that Mr.. John Smith, who has
been given the contract to build the
worlds greatest bridge, is in reality
q nice little homebody who loves to
stay quietly at home and weed the
radisheS When not otherwise en-
gagged. Mr.. Smith likes to put up the
screens and dust off the sidewalk. For
years Mr.. Smith has always picked
his own pansies,
How perfectly silly.
Yet, with a straight face, the wom-
en- of the country allow such nonsense
TO be printed about themselves.
Seattle is to have a woman mayor.
The papers announce that Mrs.
Landes is Just a homebody." What
flap doodle. Who wants q homebody
for the mayor Of a big city?
If Mrs. Landes is just a homebody,
she has no business trying to run a
great municipality. or perhaps Seattle
doesn't tlatter itself that it is a regu-
lar town.
In all fairness to Mrs. I.andes. il
ought to be said that she has gone on
record as denying the fact that she
is going to darn socks.
Women wonder why they are not
taken more seriously in public life,
and then thoy let that kind of tWaddle
be printed about them.
Suppose we face the facts.
lIomebodieS are just about the dear
est people in the world. What's more,
they are every bit as important as
bank presidents, railroad engineers
and big executives. The world would
have a much worse time getting along
without them thansit would without
a great many high-powered business
men.
But when YOU need a doctor why
send for a banker?
However sweet it is to be q home
body. why choose one for the mayor of
a city?
Women aren't all homebodies. Now
and then we find one who, through
inclination. experience and training,
has become familiar with politics and
business. There is no reason under
the sun why she should not be mayor
of a city.
But if she is going to be mayor Of
a big city, 1t ought to be because she
is too wise to let a road contractor
fool her, or to let the boys in the city
hall gang get away with murder" ;"
not because she is swell" stocking

ANCHOR.


Here Is a family name which does
not look much as though 1t had an
English origin. unless you're thinking
of q, ships anchor.
II has nothing to do with the sea,
however, in its regular derivation. and
vet It is strictly English. We don't
see the connection quite readily today
because the word from which it is de-
rived is not in common usage in most
of OIr religions, as it was in the faith
of medieval England.
Refer to the word "anchorite' and
YOU have the connection. This was
one form of the medieval word. The
other was simpler and more often used
in those days. ''ancre." Strictly speak
ing, the .'ancre" or anchorite was a
sort of hermit, a person who turned
his back upon the vain follieS and
pleasures of the world and sought
solitude for religious meditation. But
the medieval English did not always
use the words literally, any more than
we do today, and they were inclined to
call any man who liked his own COM
nany better than that of his fellows
an "ancre": just as we sometimes say
that a man Elves the life of a her
nit" when all we mean is that he
lakes no recreation and is not overly
sociable.
Sometimes, however, the name is
actually traCeable to the ships an

Shopping Fallacies.

Don't blame it all on the store or
the article If your purchase doesn't
come up to your expectations. It's
just possible that the fault lies on
your side of the counter. Just be
cause n store is polite enough to
advertise that the customer is al
ways right" or something to that
effect, n few of us delude ourselves
into believing its so.
Take the woman who buys a hair
net in one store and then n dozen
more in another store. When they
arrive at her home she opens the
packages and compares them. she
finds that one buy appeals To her
more and she tries TO return the
other. When she is politely but
firmly told that she cant exchange
or return hair nets. she is indignant.
Yet. who's at fault? Before She
bought the hair nets. or anything
else for that matter, she should have
asked whether she could return them.
You may never have met them,
but there are plenty of women in
this world who are fiagrantly unfair
in their treatment of retail dealers.
Some of them wear shoes around for
two weeks before they discover that
they're too small, or on the wrong
last Or they wear "a hat To d tea
party and wish to exchange it after
having heard an audible round oi
disapprOVal. Or. perhaps. they've
worn a coat for d week or SO before
making up their minds 10 take it
back. These women become known
to the stores. and they lose both
their credit and the ordinary curtesy
of making returns and exchanges.
They certainly deserve their fates.

FOOD AND HEALTH
BY WINIFRED STUART GIBBS.

These Spring days are just the time
for taking account of health stock,
particularly in the case of the children
Spring clothes are important. 1t is
true, for the mere changing into fresh
raiment has good effect upon health
while changing into new clothing is
often positive tonic. But to allow the
muscles and nerves and bones and
other bodily tissues to change to fresh
forms of nourishment may spell posi-
tive health for months and even years
to come.
SO Spring diets will form the text
of our preachment.
Most mothers know at least the
rudiments of proper feeding, many of
them are actually adopts in the gentle
