THE WOMAN OF TWENTY-FOUR
By CLYDE CALLISTER.

From woman's 24th birthday I'M
til her 30th she is sometimes said to
be in the May of life, and there are
some men who feel that usually
woman is not at her most attractive
age until after she has passed through
the April years.
Among presidential ladies who mar
ried in this first year of the Nav of
life were Mary Todd, who married
Abraham Lincoln; Rachel Richards,
who married Andrew Jackson; Han
nah Hoe. who married Martin Van
Buren,, and Julia Gardiner, second
wife of John Tyler.
OF these, Mary Todd had always
from girlhood wanted to marry a
man who would be President, and she
seems to have been confident that she
would accomplish her ambition. Ra
chel Richards was perhaps one of the
most picturesque of presidential la
dies She was considered the best

Baltimore beauty, who was married
to Jerome Bonaparte, youngest broth

aged 10. was serving in the FienCh
navy. The vessel on which he was
stationed was blockaded ny the Eng

Boston, Intending to go thence safely
back to France There he fell violent
~ in love with the American girl, and,
without gaining his brothers consent,
married her. Napoleon annulled the
marriage and refused to allow the
young bride to enter France, while the
crestfallen young husband was re-

command in the navy.

came under the protection of Prince

The Hair in Summer.

One of the hair problems that recur
every Summer is ~hyperidrosis, or
damp hair. 1t is due to the over.
secretion of the sweat glands in the
scalp. The excessive perspiration
makes the hair look dull and stringy.
1t is hard to keep q wave in such hair
unless it is naturally curly or has
been permanently waved. and it is
difficult to dress the hair in a becOm-
ing Coiffure. Ones hats become
stained at the base of the crown. and
even ON the brim where it joins The
crown.
Quite frequently hyperidrosis is mis-
taken for seborrhea Capitis, or oily
scalp. Although the Affections are
related they are not identical, as the
latter is the result of excess secretion
from the oil glands. Both the oil and
sweat catch and hold accommodations
of dust from the air. so that the hair
must be shampooed frequently to lsaop
it clean. Once a week is not too often
to wash hair of this sort. After the
shampoo the scalp may be given alter

Again sinister stars rule. accord
ing to astrolgy, which finds the bust
ness hours subject to thwarting and
disturbing influences.
Women may be stimulated to en-
ergy and activity, but they should
be careful lest they expend energy
in futile faultfinding.
The sway is most threatening TO
domestic peace, for quarrels may be
precipitated by means OF mistaken
efforts or opinions on the part OF
wives or daughters.
Divorces will multiply, but their
great number will bring about serious
reforms in social manners and GUS
toms, the seers predict.
Because there is to be established
a new order of things in domestic re-
lations this period will be marked by
strange vagaries in sentiment, it is
forecast.
Signs of times that appear discour'
aging to philosophers are read by
the seers as cheering, since they marx
the turning point.
Under this sway ones financial
affairs may seem especially depress
ing, but it is we'll to forget them until
the configuration changes.
Industry will have reason to re-
joice, astrologers foretell, for there
is to be great activity in many lines
of manufacture.
Workers in iron and steel probably
will be in great demand. for the Gov
eminent may have great need OF
them.
Diet now will be discussed from a
new point Of view. for less food will
be important as a means of economy

When Food Seems Poisonous.

Before you get excited let me assure
you that no possible combination of
two or more wholesome foods, foods
that you ordinarily like and take with
impunity, can become injurious or
poisonous in your midst, and this
swear Notwithstanding the hokum of
charlatans. SO if you like cream on
your berries or acid fruit with your
oatmeal or lobster with your dessert,
why, go ahead and enjoy yourself
Every mans appetite is his best
guide in such matters.
Let's take some asparagus and see
what happens.
l can think of not less than three
kinds of poisoning one might get
from eating asparagus. First, there
is botulism, the most fatal kind of
food poisoning of which we know.

canned asparagus carried the botu-
linus bacillus in two outbreaks. In

tivity of certain individuals to the

acid in asparagus-comparatively
little. according to the food chemists,

foods-enough, at any rate, to teach
those subject to the distressing condi-
ton called "oxaluria" ian inadequate

term for iO that they must not again
indulge in this succulent relish.
SO that's asparagus. And yet.
asparagus fresh or canned is a very
healthful vegetable for all ordinary
folk-it doesn't cure anything that
we know of, but it yields such desir
able nutritive material as iron, phos-
phorus, sulphur, lime, and the by
products of it's combustion or meta
bolism favor normal eXcretion by
kidney and intestine. But these are
not the reasons why we should eat
asparagus. as rule, when it is
available. either fresh or canned. We
should eat it because it is pleasing to
the taste.
Enough said about asparagus to
indicate to the inquiring mind that
food poisoning can happen even
though we know there is no such
thing as "ptomaine poisoning" and
NO particular danger or risk involved
in keeping any canned food in the
can for hours or days after the can
is opened if the food will keep that
long in any kind of container.
Substitute any other food item for
which you have a pet aversion. say
tomatoes or pineapple or walnuts or
buckwheat or oysters. if any of these
delectable items would fit the fore
going pictures more to your liking.
But for goodness sake don't assume
that because you happen to have a
peculiar sensitivity to given food
item or because your late aunt took
some of it before she departed the
food is not wholesome for others if
they like it. IF we were to follow
such a policy, I'd advise every one to
feed cowcumhers to the cows-and
then what would we do for salad?
When food seems poisonous or dis.
agrees" don't draw hastv conclusions
or concentrations. Likely enough. it
isn't the food but rather the individual
that is abnormal.
