FOOD AND HEALTH
BY wINIFRED STUART GIBBS.
Food Specialist.

There is scarcely a diet sermon that
does not remind us of the fact that
we must have a certain proportion of
bulky foods. Usually these directions
go on to say that food containing
rouehage or cellulose is the particular
type on which we depend for this
bulk. Up to a certain point, this
statement is true. Like SO many
other statements, however, 1t should
be qualified, else 1t will be misleading.
Important as it is to have some
roughage or waste matter In our diet.
this does not tell the whole story.
The presence Of roughage or celiuiose
or waste matter is usually connected
with healthful action of the intestines.
We are warned frequently that con
stipation will surely result If the diet
lacks roughage.
So far, so good, but if the diet
directions are to be fully effective
they must go on from this point.
Bulk as bulk Is fully as important as
bulk in the form of roughage or waste
matter. In other words, 1t Is quite
possible that one who is suffering
from, let us say, inactive bowels may
not require actual roughage in his
food. The condition of inactive IN
festival muscles may be better taken
care of in such cases by the simple
process Of eating more food.
Naturally such a. statement must
be qualified also. Merely to run riot
in eating quantities Of food may
easily do more harm than good. We
should learn to preserve a nice
balance.
One quite frequently finds individ-
uals who are suffering from constipa-
ton and say that bran or other rough
age does not help them. Investiga-
ton will often bring to light the fact
that these persons have merely added
a spoonful Of bran to the diet which in
itself is inadequate for the require
ments of the body.
Often this condition is brought
about by a sluggish muscular action
in the stomach. The normal supply
of digestive acids is apt to be low.
Muscular action is impaired and the
natural conclusion Is that one must
eat very sparingly. Certainly, he must
eat with sufficient care not to over.
load the weak stomach. On the other
hand merely to add bran or other
rough food to the diet may accomplish
nothing, since the bran may lodge in
some weak spot in the intestines and
cause irritation. Such conditions as
these are frequently rectif1ed by the
simple process Of eating more food
and taking more exercise.

Everyday Law Cases
Can Moker Refuse Payment on
Checb In Hands of Third
Person?
BY THE COUNSELLOR.

When John Laynlan got check for.
$50 from Norman Brown, he went
over to his tailor and bought an over
coat. After selecting the garment.
John rendered the check in payment
The tailor did not think much of
Johns financial standing, but was
aware that Brown had a good bank
account. He accepted the check and
deposited 1t. To his surprise. 1t was
returned, marked, Payment stopped"
from the tailor.
What's the idea?" he was asked.
Brown explained. "I gave the check
TO Layman In return for merchandise
I bought from him. After I paid him,
I discovered that I did not get what
had ordered, and 1 therefore had
payment stopped"
You may not have gotten value
from Layman," replied the tailor,
''but sold him coat on the strength
of your check. I can't collect from
him. so intend holding you for the
amount"
The differences between Brown and
the tailor were aired in court.
The court held Brown liable, fol-
lowing the general rule:
"A holder in due course-that Is,
one who takes q negotiable instru
ment, complete and regular on its
face, before maturity, in good faith
and for value, holds the instrument
free from any defect Of title of prior
parties and free from defenses avail
able to prior parties among them
selves-may enforce payment of the
instrument for the full amount there
of against all parties thereon"

SUB ROSA
BY MIMI.
Stella Gets Out of It.

From the time she was old enough
to walk, Stella got out of doing things.
She was simply a born expert in the
art of lodging work or responsibility or
any sort.
At school, she refused any position
of trust which might be offered to her.
She left decision to other people.
When some important step was to
be taken in her sorority, she lodged
the issue. hurried away into another
room where she wouldn't have to take
part in the solemn discussion.
She hated taking things back to
shops-that Is, exchanging them to
make a smaller purchase.
If she bought the wrong kind Of gro
ceries for mother, she refused to take
them back and ask the clerk for a re-
fund. 1t made her nervous. set her
teeth on edge to have to ask favors
of the clerks.
And she usually wheedled people
into doing the unpleasant or the re-
sponsible things for her.
Other people were resentful Girls
in her crowd envied her capacity for
getting out of the nasty, petty little
tasks which all must face sooner or
later-envied the happy laugh with
which she showed off responsibilities
and made somebody else do all the
thinking.
But when Stella married. people
stopped envying her. She used to wall
SO miserably even her keen enemies
couldn't help but feel a pang of pity.
Every day brought a fresh and be-
wildering crisis. She had no expert
ence in meeting situations Of any inn
portance.
She'd never taken an important de-
mic sn hA~ hn IF
household budgets, of food, of meeting
tradesmen and workmen nearly drove
her mad. ee#q8E
1t was impossible for her to get
anything done even with a good serv-
ant, for she shirked managing the
servant properly.
She dreaded telling the maid that
dinner had been badly cooked-she
hadn't the nerve to complain to the
butcher that the meat was tough.
She was inefficient and thoroughly
unhappy; Her young husband realiz-
ed that his home was being badly man.
aged, and this didn't make him any
more tender and loving.
His constant irritation and worry
got on his wife's nerves-she consid-
cred herself a neglected and mis-
understood wife.
She was nothing but lazy kid who
had been brought face to face with the
fact that she'd never learned any
thing about the real business of life
before.
All of which Is just to point out the
fact that it's a bad habit to get in the
way of lodging the unpleasant tasks
the rather important little decisions
which we are called on to make once
in a while.
ITnpleasant as thew NAV he thew
serve purpose in fitting us for
whatever work we may choose later
on.
We must face responsibility some
day. Why not face 1t efficiently? We
can do this only by training ourselves
on small tasks and problems right
now.

HOW 1T STARTED
BY JEAN NEWTON.
Shekels.

When we say of a man that he is
always on the lookout for shekels, we
mean that he never let's slip an op-
portunity to make a dollar. "Shekel,"
in other words. is a jocuse expression
for money.
The term shekel is of biblical origin.
The word itself comes to us from the
Hebrew "shequel," meaning to weigh,
and the shekel was an ancient weight
and coin used by the Jews and by
other ancient nations of the same
stock
The shekel was coined in three
metals-gold, silver and copper. The
gold shekel weighed 1873 grains, the
silver shekel, 224 grains, and the
copper shekel, 900 grains.
The approximate values of the coins
in our money would be, for the gold
shekel. S. for the silver shekel, so
cents, and for the copper shekel, 8
cents.

to dream about the ear tab will be
considered the really normal place to
wear flower trimming on a hat.
Some of the new hats look a little
like Napoleon's high cooked hat and
the ear tabs are extensions of the up
standing front piece that is applied
to resemble the enormous cooked brim
of the original. The most usual hat of
the ear-tab variety is of felt with the
ear pieces resembling the points of a
crescent curving outward over the
ears and cheeks.
