Coronarv Disease Getting Popular.

The coronary arteries are the ar
teries which supply the heart muscle
itself with blood They branch off
from the aorta or great artery as 1t
leaves the heart. They are likely TO
be involved in disea Sc processes of the
aorta as we'll as general arter1al dis
ease, arteriosclerosis. The coronary
arteries are probably concerned in at
tacks of angina pectoris-'neura
of the heart" or breast pang. The
coronary arteries have nothing to do
with the coroner. though the coroner
or medical examiner often records the
condition In which he finds these
arteries.
Some of us die on an empty stomach
and some pass out after a good meal.
Coroners and others in that line OF
business have often recorded not only
the fact that the stomach Is distended
with food apparently little altered by
digestion. but also the deplorable con-
dition of the coronary arteries.
There you have the clew to the
popular notion that acute indigestion
Is a serious or even a fatal happen
ing. This would be all right if it
made folks exercise more moderation
about stuffing the breadbasket But
1t doesn't; 1t Just makes 'em wish for
some more powerful remedy to 'di-
gest" what they stuff with. So it
would be better. in one way, If more
of us died just before dinner.
When death from coronary disease
is less abrupt one of the early symp-
toms is the vomiting of large meal.
Patients with angina are generally
advised to eat sparingly. slowly and
preferably in small frequent meals.
The reason for this is that the process
OF digestion is itself an expenditure
of energy: the mobility being the i'm
portant feature, for even though the
gastric juices were perfectly normal
digestion would not proceed far with
out the churning and propulsion Of
the chyme or food mass. This work
is done by the muscular coat of the
alimentary tract: involuntary muscle.
to be sure, but it cannot work without
fuel, and the fuel is provided through
the circulation, in the form of gly-
cogen or blood sugar.

our minds from the morbid and un-
wholesome obsession that any serious
harm may be done by the fancied
pressing on the heart" of a stomach

children. A Sunday supper CLUB IL
suggested.
Girls Active Members.
Let the girls who are active MEM
bers of the club meet every week or
once in two weeks as they prefer.
To give added zest, suggest that each
girl invite one of the boys of their
group every second time the club
meets. The times that the boys were
not with them the girls could have
an experimental meal. That Is, they
could .prepare~ and serve whatever
they liked, with the idea that this
same dish would be served on the
evening when the boys came. and
when they would especially like to
have the meal a success. Having
made the dish once before they
would have a certain assurance OF
success another time.
If the club meets at different men,
bers' houses each week no mother
would find that the Sunday evenings
were interfered with for the rest
Of the family too frequently. -
Easily Made Dishes.
The first few times there need he
no actual cooking done. That Is, each
member of the club could bring some
dish prepared from ready-cooked
foods specially concocted. There
could be a puree Of tomato soup,
which would mean the addition of
milk to plain canned tomato soup,
nicely seasoned. and served with
toasted cheese crackers. This could
be followed by cold sliced ham or
tongue, with a vegetable salad made
of diced vegetables marinated in
French dressing and served on let
tuce or some other salad green.
Dessert Course.
The dessert course could be a
short cake made from sponge cake
which can be bought or made by
mother at home. Put any preferred
fresh fruit which Is In season be-
tween two slices Of the cake and
top with a generous spoonful OF
whipped cream. Such a meal would
he delicious and easy to get ready.
OF course, there would be rolls and
butter. and some jelly or relish If
desired. This is but a sample meal
suggestive of the sort intended,
though it can.be served just as 1t is.
More Elaborate Menu.
From this the children can grad
ually work up to an elaborate menu.
One girl. for example, can make a
cream Of celery soup by adding a lit
tie thickening to the water in which
celery stalks have been cooked
Then dilute with milk and season
and it is ready to serve. The meat
course can be a meat loaf. an escal.

ment for. the special meat served.
such as green peas with lamb. The
dessert can he a chocolate cornstarch
with whipped cream and cake, a pie
or pudding, an orange layer cake, etc.
Such club is no end Of fun, for
young folk enjoy eating, and the fact
that what they tried out one time
was to be their contribution to the
supper when the boys were invited
would give an especial interest to
the planning of the menu and the 60
lection of foods to be served.

Your Baby and Mine
by MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Mrs. +. S. writes: Will you please
answer this question in your column
I have a baby boy 9 months old and
he Is a breast-fed baby. I give him
spinach, carrots, cream Of wheat and
orange juice. DO you think he is old
enough for potatoes? He used to go
to sleep at 10 in the morning and
sleep until o'clock, but now he will
not go to sleep at any time. VIII
YOU please tell me what to do for
him and what to feed him?
Answer-The baby is ready for
weaving and 1t ia more essential now
to get him on COWS milk instead OF
the breast than 1t is to worry about
whether he should have potatoes or
not. 1t is usual to hold potatoes out
Of the child's diet until he is well
past the first year, as he gets his
allotment of starch in other ways.
Mothers are far too prone to feed
their babies potatoes because they
seem so soft and easily digested, but
toast and zwieback and cooked
cereals rather than potatoes.
The weaving leaf1et will help you in
getting the baby established on cows
milk and will also advise you about
the other foods for this period You
may have this leaf1et by sending a
self-addressed and stamped envelope
and asking for it.
Mrs. R.-The above answer and
suggestion to write dor weaving and
feeding leafiet answers your question
also.
A Plea for Goats Milk.
One of our mothers has taken the
time to write me a most interesting
treatise on goats milk. Goats milk
stands high in infant feeding, as it
has all the good properties of cows
milk and some which 1t docs not
possess. The mother who wrote the
letter used 1t SO successfully with her
baby that she is anxious for other
mothers to profit by her experience.
One must always warn enthusiasts
that despite the excellent qualities of
goats milk it is not always possible
to obtain it. unless one keeps a goat.
and that obviously is not possible for
all of us. I was guilty of having
ascribed only a meager four quarts
daily as the milk capacity Of high
grade goats and this correspondent
points out that a high grade Toggen-
burg is often capable of producing as
high as seven and onehalf to nine
and one-half quarts daily. l stand
