Ice Made to Order.

In olden times in hot countries
SHOWS from mountains were brought
in cold containers to cool the drinks
of kings. Today ice is easily made in
the tropics. The principle of arti-
fetal ice making is that when a gas,
even ordinary air, is suddenly expand
ed it cools down. BY compressing air
YOU heat it up. If air is compressed
and then cooled by a stream of cold
water flowing over it and then allowed
to escape into a vacuum chamber it
expands so fast that it drops to a tenn
perature below the freezing point of
water. In this way ice is easily made.

What Would You?

We older people have a strange attl-
tude toward the education of our chill
dren. We, most of us, are ready to
say that education means fitting our
children to live bravely and effective
ly. We think we mean it. but GER
tain signs lead one to examine the
soundness of our creed.
MY boy" says Dad graVely,
smoking is not good for you. You
must not think of smoking until you
are as old as | am, and it won't hurt
you any if you don't begin then"
And Son knows that Dad began
smoking when he was IL years old and
has only stopped for sleep in all the
years of his life since then.

Almost anything is likely to happen

Terrible. Disgraceful."
Son is silent. But he knows that
there We're plenty of TASKS where his
came from and that school boys rep
resent no power in that market The
trade would perish for support if it
depended upon youth. Doesn't Dad
realize some of this?
Now see here, Helen. You leave

drugs was primitive. The formula
for the tablets originally called for

and a dash of nllX vomica Uhe herb

1t is silly to combine such drugs, for

belladonna is all through before the
aloes can begin to act; the belladonna

cathartic for horses, but if that is the
purpose. the beAadonna should be re-
served until about four or five hours
after the cathartic is taken. What

Anyhow, it is a crime to combine such
drugs, from the modern point of

Fasting to Reduce.

If YOU are really very much over
weight the easiest, the simplest ana
altogether the best way 10 reduce Is
TO begin by fasting. You must fehehi-
her that if YOU are overweight your
stomach has greatly enlarged beyond
what should be its normal size; IL is
big. il cries out for lots OF 1000 10
ill it up. If you fast it shrinks auto
matically, and after that, though IL
cries out for food regularly, When you
are back on regular meals 1t won I
want nearly so much food to fill 1t up.
If YOU understand exactly what your
stomach is doing you may not nina
the fast. As we said, the empty stom-
ach contracts. these contractions are
stimuli, the heart beat rises, the blood
pressure rises. the saliva glands be
come more active, excitement follows
and possibly irritation. If food doesn't
come along to soothe emptiness, faint
ness. SleepineSS or even headache
may result A good many of these
sensations can be done away with, and
a great deal of good can be done to the
kidneys if lot Of cool water is
drunk.
some women tell me that the worst
part of fasting was 10 hours after the
last meal. After that the desire for
food gradually SubSided. All people
who have been through long fast
say that the first three days are the
worst. and that after the fifth day
there is not even the desire for food.
don't say that you will be thoroughly
comfortable during the three days
fast, merely say it will do you a lot
of good, and that if you drink plenty
of water you won't mind it very much.
Even if you're very uncomfortable for
a day it is certainly worth it. Doc
tors recommend these fasts for women
with rheumatism or arthritis People
who have tasted for several days say
that it sharpens their intellects.
