bites of apples Mother kept a basket

Across the way lived Hanna and

eyes pleaded what her tongue dared

Certainly not. You must never eat

The two hungry children turned
slowly enough and crossed the street

FOOD AND HEALTH
BY WINIFRED STUART GIBBS,
Food Specialist.

First and foremost there should, of
course, be a visit to the oculist. One
must have clean bill of health for
the eyes from one who knows, just
as he must be reassured by his dentist
about his teeth.
On the other hand. when one is
entirely reassured as to any organic
difficulty with the eyes, it is surpris-
ing how much may be accomplished in
the way Of improving eye health by
1he very simple method of taking care
Of digestion and nutrition.
Most of us know in a vague way
that an attack of Indigestion frequent
ly makes itself felt in the eyes. With
perfectly normal eyes this is not apt
TO cause anything more than passing
inconvenience. Let there be the slight
est weakness, however, in the optical
muscles and the poisons generated by
indigestion may actually alarm one
into thinking that there is some seri-
Gus trouble with the eyes themselves.
Next time you are conscious or
sensation Of lack of balance look to
your stomach Unless we understand
anatomy pretty thoroughly we are
not apt to realize how much this inn
portant sense Of balance depends on
the eyesight. This is not the place
for discussing the complicated ques-
1ions of anatomy. Il does, however
seem to be a good place for a word Of
warning.
Practically every one Of us has at
one time or another met some one
who was frightened into a fear of
heart disease simply through the pres
ence Of gas in the stomach. Pressure
of gas on the heart will often cause
siutterings and other unpleasant symp-
toms
Again the same individual might be
alarmed into thinking he was on the
way 10 stroke Of apoplexy when
his general feeling of Waveriness may
be. as / have said before, directly
traceable to Indigestion.
While it is always deplorable to let
ones self dwell too much on disease.
il is well 10 keep in mind certain
comforting facts Certainly it should
relieve any one Of us to know that
it may be possible 10 get rid Of eye
disturbance by the simple and alto
gether wholesome practice Of eating
proper meals.
AS for what 10 cat, thaG depends
II is no more possible TO give a list
of foods that may cause eye symptoms
than il is 10 give 4 list Of the use
Of which is likely to result in paipita-
ton of the heart. Just as most Of
the advice which ] give in these talks
has to do with the planning Of a
sensible, well balanced diet. so this
matter Of nutrition and eye health
comes back 10 that very self-same
mixed diet. one must find out what
foods are best suited to his age. oc
cupation and physical condition and
then one must eat them.
First. last and al the time, however
remember that the oculist is the first
one to be consulted in the matter oi

efforts to face the audience at all
times in those days. Now, save when
it is necessary to face the audience in
order to make her lines audible, an
actress may turn as she pleases-and
she is a poorly dressed actress VINO

as important as the front.

seem painfully conscious of the tact
that the hair at the back OF their
neck has been cut too short or has
grown too long.
One or two of the prominent French
dressmakers have made frocks quite
innocent Of trimming save at the
back. They seem to realize that there
is something charmingly sophisticat-
ed about the woman who takes as
great pains with the back view as
with the front These back-trimmed
frocks are, of course, more appropri-
ate for dancing than anything else.

this sort when you expected to SIT

HOW 1T STARTED
Calling It Your Surname"
ny JEAN NEWTON.

If all we know about 1t is its modern
meaning. 1t Is certainly illogical to cail
ones family name surname. Liter
ally this is higher name, and now
adays this is not ones higher name,
hnt ones last name" However, 1t is
from q custom Of bygone days that we
have the word.
Among the aneients, people did not
have first" and second" or last
names. They only had one name,
which generally had some personal sig
nificance. Rachel on her death'bed
named her child benion, the son OF
sorrow"
1t was centuries later that family
names began to be adopted first by the
nobility and afterWard by the common
people And it is because 1t was the
custom then to write this name over
the first or Christian name, that the
syllable Sur" meaning above was
prefixed and ii was called surname.
Evidence of this custom is in exist
ence today in court scrolls and other
documents of the time.

 Here she renews her acquaintance with the various gambling devices which caused her hurried exit from America Her beauty has lured many a titled Oriental, but she has succeeds in fighting them all off until one night, when she is drugged and carried to palace of a Prince. She awakes to find herself the un- willing Queen of the Princes harem and what a charming queen she makes!
