The word auto intoXication is
frequently used by those who have a
very slight idea of just what it means.
This is really a poisoning in the in
testineS that comes from the result of
putrefaction of food These poisons
cause any number of familiar sHmp-
toms. They may be high blood pres
sure, intense fatigue, headaches, BIZ
iouSneSs, nervous exhaustion. ana so
on. The diet is important and should
be largely composed of fruits and
fresh green vegetables.
At one time bran was thought to
be valuable chiefly as something which
acted mechanically on the intestincs.
True, it does contain Cellulose, but
there is also food iron, not to men
ton lime, which is good for both bones
and teeth. One word of caution in us
ing bran. While 1t is true that most
cases of constipation are helped by
judicious quantity of roughage, it is
also true that certain individuals can
not eat bran, and there is a reason for
this. If there is a condition Of es-
pecially inactive intestinal muscles,
bran may be held so long in one place
in the system that 1t forms a more or
less clogging mass. Bran in itself is
not irritating, but If 1t masses in this
way. irritation win result from indi-
gestion. This is a god illustration of
the truth back of the advice about not
making sweeping congratulations in
the matter of diet.
Mineral oil is frequently prescribed
for constipation. While, theoretically,
this is good, as it is neutral and does
not cause irritation. 1t is also true that
some systems cannot tolerate X. The
oil is heavy and if 1t is used frequent
ly it may easily cause Indigestion.
When the physician prescribes
gluten flour. ask him one or two ques-
tions. So-called gluten f1ours contain
varying percentages of starch, since
pure gluten is almost impracticable
for dietary use. For example, the in
dividual who has no disease, but
simply wishes to cut down on starchy
food, may obtain gluten flour which is
about As per cent gluten. Diabetes,
on the other hand, must have an even
smaller proportion of starch, but this
condition calls for very carefully
specialized attention to diet.
Practically all students of diet know
that nuts are extremely nourishing
concentrated food. The difficulty for
some is that they are not quickly di-
gested. One solution of this difficulty
is to use matted nuts. This is an arti-
Gle to be purchased on the market and
has the Endorsement of many of the
leading physicians. Matted nuts are
excellent for nursing mothers and for
all who wish to build up their
strength.

The Young Mother.

There should be a whole book just
for beauty hints to mothers. Medical
books there are in plenty. and some
of them tell you to look out for your
hair and go to q dentist quite often
and rinse the mouth with milk of
magnesia and such things; these are
beauty as well as health suggestions.
But find that snfany women accept
child bearing as something that will
inevitably take from their looks and
that there is nothing to be done
about 1t. OF course, this is all non
sense. It's a tradition belonging to
an age when we said we could either
have our cake or our penny. but not
both, and other such highly moral
maxims. The chief difference be-
tween women two generations ago
and today is that today they're find
ing out they can have the cake and
penny-in this case, preserve their
youth and slimness and beauty and
have as many children as their health
permits.
It's true that so great a physical
effort takes a toll of strength and
health, for a time. But being a
normal and natural event, health and
strength come back---with proper
care, and SO should youth and good
looks, If they've gone for the few
past months.
Today I'll give only a few ele-
mentary hints. Regarding the hair.
a tonic is essential. I know Of none
better than the one given in the
pamphlet, Beauty" which, by the
way, has a few hints for eXpectant
mothers. A tonic should be used
every other day. Even on healthy
hair oil should be rubbed on the scalp
the night before a shampoo.
Oil should be regularly rubbed into
the finger nails, which suffer during
this time. The teeth, of course.
should be brushed morning and night
and a rinse with milk of magnesia is
excellent. AS having child is hard

six. At these times the teeth should

AS 1t is, we may not only have

them without asking for them, for

their seeds about everywhere.

have inherited a fine, large physical

to develop 1T along lines of statesque
beauty. You should not starve your
self. but you should, on the other
hand, be careful not to overeat. Take
plenty of outdoor exercise and be con-
tent with a slow but sure reduction
to your normal weight, which is about
1875 pounds. Please send a stamped,
self-addressed envelope for my leaflet
on How to Lose Weight" that gives

Mrs. Frank j. k.-The fattening
foods in your diet are pork, bacon.
potatoes, beans, sugar, butter, cream,

more flesh you will consume and the
thinner you will get.
Alice F. J.-You should weigh about
100 pounds with height of feet 4
inches at 10 years of age. f@
Your colors will be blues mostly,
either the exact shade of your eyes or

are not too pale will be good choices,

it always is when the skin is fair and
