The Valencia.

Social dancing is one of the beauty
arts, because it stimulates milady to
make the most Of her strong points.
The girl who Is just passably good
looking in the daytime may blossom
out into a real beauty at an evening
dance if she will give enough attention
to her toilette. The right makeup, a
becoming couture, a pretty costume
and holiday mood can work wonders
in her appearance. The knowledge
that she is beautiful and admired is a
tonic that serves to WITTY her whole
personality. This in itself is a splen
did beauty treatment. because II
makes milady's eyes sparkle and her
lips curve up in a happy smile.
The normal girl likes to wear the
pretty, fragile fabrics of which dance
frocks are made. Besides looking
pretty, however, she must be grace
full dancer in order to escape the fate
of a wallfiower. practice makes per-
feet" in dancing as we'll as in other
activities, so that girls who do not
attend dances frequently should go
over the steps at home now and then
to keep them fresh in their memory.
Since there are many variations of
each dance one should familiarize her
self with several Of them.

part.

FOOD AND HEALTH
BY WINIFRED STUART GIBBS.
Food Specialist.

II have found a tonic that is the
best ever created" writes an enthusi'
astic reader. And what do you think
it is? / am eating a lemon every day,
| just as / would an orange, and am
| drinking the juice mixed with boiling
water in which the peel has been
stepped. Is there any harm in this
1t seems to purify my blood and cure
administration"
Now this friend Of mine is quite
correct in thinking that lemons are
valuable food. Suppose 1 tell you
some of their virtues first, so that
| you may see how much 1 appreciate
| lemons.
In the first place there are more
than so varieties. We used to get the
best ones from Sicily. but now our
own Southern States and California
send us fine ones. The chief value
| of this fruit Is found in the acid juice,
and OF this the average lemon con-
talns two ounces. The juice is made
up Of various constituents, of which
citric acid is important. Lemon juice
| also contains valuable salts, which
help to regulate the body.
AS for my correspondents ques.
| ton, 1 do think that the lemon should
be given a. very honorable place in
| and it also helps to prevent certain
| deficiency diseases, such as scurvy.
AS for eating a lemon every day,
however. l should say that this might
be a little extreme. Why overdo a
good thing? 1 should suggest rather
a more moderate program and a
greater variety of fruit. Drink lem
onade occasionally at luncheon in
stead OF tea. Use lemon juice instead
OF vinegar in your salads and garnish
hsh with plentiful slices of this deli
| cious fruit. Use the fresh Juice to
| flavor simple desserts and mix it gen.
erously with your other forms of
Summer drinks, such as fruit punch.
Finally, and this applies especially to
the hot months, squeeze a little lemon
juice into glass of water and sip it
at various times throughout the day.
| even IL you do not wish to stop to
| make lemonade.
1t seems to me that there is no
question connected with diet that
should not be answered by advice to
use moderation. We are so ant.
when we find good thing, to use it
to excess, and I feel that simply be.
cause the lemon is such a valuable
food, we should use this in modera.
ton. as we'll as all others.

X-Ray Shows Hunger Pangs.

In 1905, by placing inflated balloons
in the stomachs of starving dogs,
Boldyreff discovered that strong con
fractions Of the stomach occurred at
regular intervals.
In 1912, by similar experiments on
human beings, Cannon proved that
these contractions are the cause OF
hunger. Each contraction of the
stomach gives rise to a hunger pang
lasting about half minute. The con
fractions may be repeated rhythmical'
ly during Is minutes to an hour or
even longer in extreme hunger, and in
very intense hunger the contraction
may become continuous.
Drs. f. r. Rogers and G. l.. Martin
have now told how they have been
able to make X-ray photographs OF
these hunger pangs.
Heretofore, hunger contractions
were studied indirectly by giving a
meal of milk and barium sulphate
which was Opaque to the X-rays. But
the meal of barium, filling the stom
ach, caused the hunger contractions to
stop.
improvements in X.ray technique
DIR. Rogers says, have now made 1t
possible to see the stomach actually
contract and to photograph it in this
condition If 1t is slightly distended
with an air-f1lled balloon. This method

ing various types of stomach move
ment and disorders of the stomach.
1t is probable that people who eat
three meals a day never experience
real hunger. But If meals are missed
hunger may be so intense as to cause
headache, weakness, nervous irritable
ity, nausea. Painting may even occur
if the hunger is very extreme.
Intense hunger is accompanied by a
feeling of emptiness. The belt can be
taken in quite a bit. Not only is the
feeling in the mind, but there is a
real emptiness in the stomach.
In persons suffering from ulcer of
the stomach or disease of the gall
bladder, hunger palms," which are
really gastric pains, may appear when
the stomach is empty or within three
to six hours after a meal. These con-
fractions are identical with the normal
hunger pangs, but are painful because
of the Inflammation.
1t has been shown that hunger con-
fractions are sometimes absent in gas
tritis, tonsilitis, influenza and colds. If
food is taken under such conditions
nausea may follow.
