Barley Fritters.

Most cereals when cold can be cut
into slices and fried. Barley is not
sufficiently glutinous to hold it's shape
for frying but it is excellent when
made into fritters. Bacon grease adds
a pleasant flavor for frying them

A Healthy Body
Gives a Girl
Charm
BY Maria Jeritza

NlHE ideal woman is strong,
\ healthy and beautiful. Her
body reflects a healthy mind
and a beautiful spirit,
Modern women realize that only
by making the best of themselves
mentally, spiritually and physi-
cally can they give their best to
the world.
1t is impossible to imagine an
Ideally beautiful woman without
fine. symmetrical development Of
bust and chest. Good chest de-
velopment is equally important to
, health and beauty. Gertrude
Ederle attributes much of her
strength and endurance in swim.

pansiOn.
II you keep your shoulders and

the contour of your chest and
bust will be graceful and sym

Fortunately, the flat.chested eff.

while the fad lasted many
woman more devoted to fashion
than to good sense injured the
glands and muscles of her chest
and throat by wearing a tight
brassiere. Any brassiere that
binds the chest tightly to make
1t seem smaller will gradually
break down the muscles of the
breast, causing them to weaken
and grow flabby, and will in
juriously affect certain glands.
Swapping the chest muscles also
strains the muscles of the neck
and throat in time, causing them
to become stretched and flabby.
Ii you wear a brassiere, choose
one of the same size as your bust
measurement; then you will be on
the safe side For instance. a So
bust calls for a So brassiere. And
this comfortably large brassiere
will hold your bust smooth with
out binding it too tightly for
health and beauty.

noted for beauty depend on the

The following deep breathing ex-

your chest: Stand erect with your
arms at your side, your feet close
together. your toes pointed straight
ahead. Now thrust your arms
straight back of you as far as
possible. and at the same time
slowly lift your left leg az high

When YOU take your daily walk

send roses to your cheeks and lips
and lend grace to the contour OF
your throat. shoulders and chest.

AFTER TWO months
U. s. Attorney for New York
Announces Decision

New York. Feb. % up - An
nouncement of his intention to re-
sign his office as United States at
torney for this district was made
by Emory R. Buckner this morning
at the opening of his summation in
the Daugherty- Miller conspiracy
trial.
Buckner set the date for his resig-
nation two months from today. He
has held the office about two years
and has several times during that
period intimated that he could not
stay away from private practice
longer than about that length of
time.
He made his announcement today
in reply to a charge yesterday in
the summation of Aaron Sapiro,
counsel for Thomas w. Miller. for
mer alien property custodian, that
the conspiracy prosecution was
brought about by "a difference of
viewpoint between Washington and
New York politics"
In announcing his intention tore
sign, Buckner asserted that he is not
politician, has no political axes to
grind, and that his action in resign
ing is in accordance with an ar
rangement made when he assumed
office.
