When l once began to analyze her at

up her chin, which gave her a self.re.

every one. The hang-dog expression

Reconstruction and Repair.

In a well balanced maintenance ra-
ton for an adult, we have figured out,
the following represents the daily re-
quirements (of nutritive material as
simulated, not the amounts eaten):
Two ounces go grams) Of protein, 240
calories; ounces go grams) of fat
S46 calories; Is ounces (450 grams)
carbohydrate, 1900 calories. Total
days ration, 2,SS6 calories.
AS matter of fact, the average
adult eats perhaps 4 ounces of proteid
heterogeneous material, lean meat,
white Of egg, cheese, the curd part of
milk, gluten, etc. daily, and probably
digests and absorbs into his blood
nine-tenths Of it. and the excess over
his actual requirements is probably
burned as fuel, just as is the regular
fuel, carbohydrate.
The undigested tenth of the proteid
or heterogeneous food material passes
into the intestine and undergoes more
or less putrefaction there before it is
discharged from the body. We have
no good reason to imagine that the
excess of proteid food an individual
ordinarily consumes is in any way
injurious to health. This Is physiol
ogy, not fiction.
Proteids of different sources differ
considerably IN actual nutritlVe value
or usefulness to the body, not in the
energy units or calories, but in supply
ing material for tissue reconstruction
or repair and material for new con.
struction or growth. The comparative
biological value or utility of different
proteids depends on the relative guam.
titles of amino acids they yield on
digestion, and by such a standard milk
proteid (casein, cheese) ranks high
along with beef and eggs; and wheat
proteid fair, and cornmeal proteid
still lower, and gelatin lowest of all
1t is not advisable to choose any
special food proteid or to favor 1t in
selecting a diet. Better to have a free
choice and variety of proteid foods
(both animal and vegetable sources)
rs proteids from different sources sup
plement each other and insure better
balance in nutrition.

He LITTLE PLANT IT'S GAY FOLIAGE

Beaded wire work is being revived.

generations, in which baskets made of
beads strung on wire were featured,
and dainty little miniatures they were

the dew caught the sunbeams and
gave back their sparkle. The green
foliage adds realism to the plants
abloom in miniature jardinieres or
flower pots, in which the plants appear
resemblance to Mother Earth, but
stresses some hue that furthers the
ornamental value of the creation.
The potted plants, in whatever type
ofscontainer, may have some genuine
use as well as being ornamental. Or
It may be the container that serves
the unitarian purpose. But whether
ofsuse or not, the decorative merit is
the same.
One use to which the Towering
plants are put is that of pin cushions.
The top soil' is of velvet, which is
but a covering for wool or sawdust
forming the inside of the cushion, and
the edge close to the jardiniere may
be- trimmed with a single or double
row of fancy headed black or plain
pins. Such a plant is just the thing
for dainty dresser in boudoir or
sleeping chamber.
Plants as Place Cards.
Or the jardinieres or flower pots
may be wee affairs and serve as place
card favors for a dinner table or
luncheon party. The card should be
small and be tied to the main stem
or stalk of the plant in the same way
as cards are attached to plants when
sent from a florist. 1t is easy to
visualize the smart beauty Of such
decorative Mace cards

a center wire about the petal wires
that come together in the center. On
this wire string a few yellow beads
The flowers should be made of one
