The question is, "Do you know your
onions?" The onion may not seem a
very dignified subject, even botanically
speaking. Yet there is a strange in
terest in the genus that bOtanists call
album, almost a mournful. fearful in
terest. / heard recently of a horti
cultural expert at Kew who was max
ing a collection of albums, which is
not precisely the same thing as max
ing a collection of onions, for it in
cludes the chives, the garlics, and
the national flower of Wales. the
leeks. 1t includes too a little class
of wild albums native to mountainous
countries, with rose colored dainty
flowers that are as priced in the rock
gardens of the eclectic as the common
onion is despised
Here in the District of Columbia we
have more than one kind. and OF
them all the prettiest l think, is the

Bath Salts.

There Is no virtue in reducing bath
salts. Many lures are dang,ed before
the eyes of the OverstOut who need
to reduce. Representations are made
that IL you take 'getthin remedies
the fat will disappear without eXer.
cise--without diet. Representations
are made that il you use bath salts In
your daily tub the fat will disappear
without without diet. Re
ducing drugs are harmful. Perfumed
salts or Epson salts will never dis
solve fat. They are useless as re-
ducing agent.
To claim that by the continued use
OF bath salts excess fat will gradually
and BEAUTIFULLY disappear is holding
out promise that cannot be fulfilled.
A real hot or a Turkish bath may
dissolve a few pounds because of the
loss through perspiration. But the
weight will be Immediately regained
IL the diet is at fault. You may exer-
else or sweat off a few pounds. but
the loss in weight will only be tenn
porary.
The safest. most sensible and per-
manent means of weight reduction is
proper diet.
1t is true that perspirat ton does
carry away some of the body poisons.
A bath in ordinary hot water will in
duce as much perspiration as though
bath salts were used. The skin may
feel invigorated because of the sat
bath. but there ~Nill he no permanent
loss of flesh from such procedure.
1t is true that if the toxins or poi
Sons are not thrown from the body
i'll health will result. The skin alone
cannot take care of this waste. A
copious perspiration alone will never
entirely clear the system. And bath
in tub will never cause the kidneys
and lungs to perform their particular
II notions. A clean skin is necessary
to bodily health. but the internal Or
Sans are most important.
The instructions for an EPSON salts
bath. as given by a famous London
beauty, who, however, does not use
them herself. are interesting. The
poor victim must cook herself in IA
steaming salt solution until she Is
faint. The water must be so hot that
she has to tie a cold pack around he,'
head to keep from fainting in the tub
and thus end her life by drowning.
Then she must fall into bed between
bla nkets and stay there until the cir
culatiOn and temperature of the body
have been restored to normal. 1t Is

habito yet clasping the chin so those
sagging muscles are held as they
should be- You can get the same sort
Of thing in elastic webbing. Some
say the smooth rubber is best as it
makes the skin perspire and there
fore perspire off superf1uous flesh.
Some claim the elastic webbing is best
because it has friction to 1t, which
wears off unwanted fat. l don't think
there is much in it: a chin strap is
like a crutch to a lame leg. Use 1t
because for eight hours while you
sleep it holds in the chin muscles.
Meantime use massage and astrin-
gents to make those muscles strong
enough.
You can make chin strap yourself
if you want. 1t requires only a long
strip of old muslin-strips of sheets
are fine. You wind this around the
chin and head, making half dozen
turns, the straps crossing each other,
so as to hold firmly after you have
gone to bed. Or, II you do your
homework alone, you can bandage
the chin while you are at work.

FOOD AND HEALTH
BY NINIFKED STUART GIBBS.
Food Specialist

Sandwich filings and spreads are of
primary importance i'll any feeding
scheme. Have you fathomed the
depths of information available about
peanut butter? You may say that
Won know in a general way it is good,
both to the taste and for the body, but
| wonder whether you have anything
like all.round and complete informal
ton as to what it may do for Billie
and Jane if they are below weight
We must remember that peanut but
ter is not quite so digestibl4 as fresh
butter for young children, but If Billie
and Jane are active in school, they
may enjoy it.
Peanut butter contains lime and
iron. Besides this, it furnishes phos-
phorus, and my readers, | am sure,
are tired of hearing me say that all
the cells in the body must have phos-
phorus if they are going to be the
lively organisms they should be. As
for iron, that mineral salt which is
thought of so often in connection with
food tonic, peanut butter gives good
account of itself even here. SO 1t is
easy to see that when the children S
appetiteS seem to crave a BIT OF
change, peanut butter will make
good occasional substitute for dairy
butter. Just here / must caution you,
however, and that on one point
Grown-ups may eat peanut butter al
most ad lib. but childrens digestions
must have special considera ton in this
respect, as in all others. The texture
of peanut butter renders the fat
somewhat less digestible than the fat
in dairy butter, and it should there
fore, be used by children of at least
the school age. Toddlers or the rum
about children should have fresh but
ter only.
Now about using peanut butter. l
have already spoken about it's desir-
able qualities az a sandwich spread.
1t may be used in combination with
sliced tomatoes, bacon and lettuce.
cream cheese. jelly, honey. chopped
dates. chopped apples. chopped seeded
raisins and chopped olives.
Then it shines as one of the ingre'
dents in hot cooked luncheon dishes.
For example, a tomato loaf with pea
nut butter, cream Of peanut butter
soup. peanut butter with date and
graham mush, peanut butter cookies
and peanut butter buildings. such as
blanc mango. In preparing such
dishes 1t Is important to see that the
somewhat heavy oily consistency OF
the peanut butter is minimized. For
this reason it is good to have a crisp
lettuce leaf in peanut butter sand
witch. Since these talks leave no space
to give recipes. any readers who are
