Disagree Is Not the Half of It.

| A Southern correspondent told
| us the other day how he discovered
| that eating tomatoes caused his right
eve to swell up and close. After
small army of common or garden
doctors and a similar army of
specialists had done their stuff after
| the manner of such appurtenances in
p. m. testimonials the correspond
ent's druggist casually asked whether
he ate tomatoes and on receiving an
affirmative answer laconically pre-
scribed, "Cut 'em out"
| Poison is not a fair word for toma-
| toes in such a case.
| One old-fashioned term for the pc
culiar effect the tomatoes had in this
| instance was the tomatoes dis
agreed" But this term was not very
satisfactory then and can hardly pass
muster now. What do you mean,
disagreed? For that matter, how do
you account for disagreement on
| the part of any food or food substance
| that normal individuals take without
any trouble or that even the present
| individual has taken on other occa-
sions without trouble? To say any
food item disagreed is just as
thoughtful and significant as it is TO
| tell your perspiring friends it is a very
warm day.
Another old term for it was
| "idiosyncrasy." The old-time doctors
were fond OF this term because it
tended to quel and overrawe the
patients curiosity. The patient had
an idiosyncrasy for lobster. straw
berries, quinine. cat hair. horse
dander. egg white, primrose or what
not, and old-time patients were as
pleased with this ponderous dianoSis
as the present-day patients are with
such impressive yet meaningless terms
as autointoxication, neurasthenia and
toxic this or that.
There is no simple term for the Pc
culiar effects certain protein sub
stances in foods produce in certain
individuals. We know how important
this is in the causation of many cases
of asthma, hives. eczema, and various
other skin and systemic disturbances.
and we know that protein substances
other than foods may produce vir-
tually the same extraordinary reaC
tons IL they gain entrance to the
blood through other portals than nor
NAL digestion. The present medical
terms for such abnormal reaction to
food or foreign prOteinS are "allergy"
and 'anaphylaXiS." Until science solves
the mystery of allergic or anaphy-
Tactic reactions there is no point in
trying to find simpler terms to sug-
gest this peculiar sensitiveness.
Strange it is, to physician as we'll
as parent, that certain infants the
first time they take any egg white
suffer a severe reaction, with burning
and swelling of mucous membranes,
vomiting, diarrhea, sometimes alarm
ing prostration or collapse. the attack
lasting a few hours. Sometimes a
difficulty of breathing. resembling
asthma. accompanies the upset. In

Patchwork, Children's Pastime

Quilt Hints.
If a special color scheme is not

pieces for the square she is making.
However, definite pattern for
square should be adhered to. or crazy
quilt will result, and this is the
least attractive of all patchwork
quilts. The autograph quilts handed
down from olden days show such
variety of materials that it is quite
evident the friends who made the
squares put into them such patches
as they could to comply with the
necessities of the pattern. ! would
suggest that if sufficient autographed
squares to complete a quilt were lack
ing the squares be put together
with strips of plain material between,
or as border. Mother will have to
help in putting the squares together
and in having it quilted A child takes
genuine pleasure in such a quilt.

CHAPTER XXXIII,
At the Theater.

Nan did improve gradually.
Slowly and almost imperceptibly her
strength began to come back
She woke up in the morning with
the blood warm in her veins. She
would actually feel like sprinting out
of bed and drawing deep breaths of
the fresh Spring air.
She would sing as she had her tub
She was too young to be sad forever.
But there were times when her lips
would drOOp and she would feel like
a criminal. How could she sing when
Tom had gone? How could she ever
be happy again?
Sometimes Martin would hear her
through the door that connected their
rooms, and his own heart would leap.
She was getting better. Some time he
would win her, but he would wait.
He could hear her light footsteps
crossing and reCrOSsinG the room. and
in his imagination he saw her flying
about as she dressed. He longed TO be
able TO chat with her while he shaved.

table. pOWdering her small face or

and as he went to get them at the

Nan waited beside the inner entrance.
When Martin returned he found her
chatting to a tall. g0od-looking man.
She was radiant. Her small face was
animated as he hadn't seen it since
the night he had taken her to The
Port of Missing Men"
Quick jealousy sprang up in him,
only to be instantly quelled, and Nan's
Introduction was charming.
Martin. this is Mr.. St. Clair. I
used to pose for him in the old days.
Martin tried not to be as stiff as he
felt, and certainly the other man was
affable enough. But as he acknowl-
edged the introduction his thoughts
were rampant.
Miss Hartley was in her element
now. She had been beautiful in the
old days, but now she was raVishing.
There was a touch of mystery about
her, too, as though she hadn't been
quite awakened, as though she still
wondered what life was all about. He
wondered curiously if she loved the
man or if she had married him for
his money.
He had heard about Tom Elliott s
tragic death.

Many Know
This simple daily rule for guard
ing their schoolgirl compilations
By NORMA SHEARER

THERE is no harm in rouge and
l. powder, makeup of any kind,
beauty experts today agree.
But never fail to take them off
each night at bedtime if you would
avoid clogged pores and blaekheads,
other imperfections.
That schoolgirl complexion comes
from one simple but important rule.
And millions follow it each night in
gaining clear and radiant skins.
Wash the face gently with
Palmolive. Massage its balmy olive
and palm oil lather into the skin.
Rinse with warm water: then with

naturally dry, apply 4 little good
cold cream. That is all-it's natures
rule for keeping that schoolgirl CON-
plexion.
But be sure you get the real
Palmolive. A soap made solely for
one purpose: to safeguard your skin
Sixty years of soap study stand
behind it.

with improved soaps is a folly.
