Five Rules For Making Up Diet Suitable Meals Must Be
 We'll Balanced.
BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEJN

BY pH. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American
 Medical Association and of Fly
 geia, tho Health Magazine.
 So important is information as to proper dict that it is well to repeat five simple rules recently stated by l. Stewart in a consideration of die totiCs
 A suita ble diet must:
 1-Contain the necessary con- stituents 10 produce 8 perfect food, viz protein. carbohydrate, fat. water. salts, vitamins. The protein must he 2 good one. |. Q. with the essen- tlal amlno-aCids.
 2--Re well balanced: these con- stltuents must be present in proper proportions.
 s-Possess the correct caloric value.
 4-Be diEestible. suitably cooked and invitingly served.
 5-Meet the requirements of health age. and occupation of the individual and climate and season of the year. ..ts
 In addition to these factors. how ever. there are many psychological points in relation 10 the taking of food which every physician and nurse realizes, but which arc sell dom obvious 10 the average person.
 Monotony is fatal to appetite. The most palatable dish becomes dis tasteful if repeated too often. Milk, one of the very best of foods. be- comes nasueating if given simply as milk every time.
 On the other hand. it is modified by suitable flavor. by incorporation into other dishes. by association with other dishes, by association with soup. fruits and cereals, it can be given in large amounts and be reg ularly welcomed by the person who takes it.
 Few people realize how important it is that the mouth be clean before eating as well as after. The person with fever whose mouth is dry and q person who has been long in bed will have bad taste in the mouth vhich will affect everything that ts eaten.

 Important Matches.

 Paris, June 15 R>--Long delayed good weather and the tennis cham pionship matches at the Roland Garros stadium. Autcuil. brought oh. the new clothes which feminine Paris has been waiting to wear.
 Between matches Helen Wills had the time and the inclination for little chat about clothes. She said:
 My chief criterion of clothes has 10 be the degree to which they wrinkle in packing. l can't be over- burdcncd in the matter of ward robe, so l select models which will be suitable for various occasions
 She has just purchased two en- sembles which she chose for their simplicity.
 "I think simplicity is the big thing in dress" she said.
 One of these ensembles is of new light wool material which is like silk, even 10 the touch. The young tennis champion bought lght-colorcd brown coat with . brown and white checked silk frock 10 match. The only trimming on the dress is the diagonal stitching on the plcats of the skirt. The coat is lined to match the dress, and the flower on the coat is also of the checked material.
 Another outfit which Miss Wills selected is printed dress in crepe de chine with cloth coat lined to match.
 Every dress seems to demand . separate coat these days" she re- marked.
 Mrs. Molla Mallory. Olympic play CT. appeared off the courts in beige and brown polka dot crepe de chine dress with large dots. She wore brown traight line coat ana a beige and brown hat.
 Beige and brown were alo worn by the former Nancy Ann Miller. whose costume was cloth ensenl- ble completed with a beige sports hat
 Cherries and huttercups were the two color notes frequently seen. Black tailored suits were much ,n evidence, and realistic punches or cherries were worn at the lapel.

 A katherine's low. earnest voice finished her injunction to go to the city and do the work I had con- tracted to do. adding her renewed promise to take care of Junior dur ing my absence, I put out my hand impulsively and caught hers in it.
 You've given me the best possi- ble argument for going" l said gratefully. 'and you know, don't you, that worry over Juniors care isn't the reason I am debating the question of breaking my contract for. of course, that is what staying out here for the Winter would mean"
 "Oh! my dear." Her voice vas filled with mortified incredulity. Surely you're not going to give up your work when you've made such a wonderful success of it, And I've heard that Philip Veritzen is bad medicine about anybody breaking q contract with him. But-I forget. You stipulated. didn't you. that if Junior needed you, that would mean an end 10 your work.'
 "Yes. and that is the question am considering. I know he will not need me as far as care and train- ing are concerned-but-I loel- someway-as if-I had como near losing him-and J don't want Ni'u to miss me--ask for me--an2 not be able to have me"
 She frightened her clasp upon my hand.

And will you believe mo when I say that with the program of school and exercise and play which I am planning for him. he won't have time 10 miss you or any body else. Then you've planned to be down week-ends, haven't you?"
 'Oh, yes" I answered. energetic ally, banishing the involuntary thrill of maternal jealousy which went through me when she said that Junior wouldn't have time to miss me

Here IS Useful
 System For Girls
Dr.. Fishbein Gives Advice
 for Young Misses.
RY DIR. NORRIS EISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and Of Hy-
 gcia. the Health Magazine.

One Of the differences between education today and in the yit is the amount of time being given in schools to the proper conduct of life from both the mental and physical points of view.
 A textbook, just issued by Miss K. w. kinyon, director of Homo Economics in the public schools Of Denver and Prof. l.. Thomas Hop kins of the department of cduca- ton in the University of Colorado. provides an outline of material for use in teaching 10 high school girls the proper conduct of the home.
 In preparing their book the au- thors have been advised by many other specialists. They have out lined sound system, beginning with an explanation Of the position of the home in social life.
 Here's the System.
 They list also a series or physi- cal habits for high school girls which are obviously worthy of con- sidoraton by anyone of any age. A healthful girl will;
 Keep her face, neck and cars clean.
 Care for her hands. feet and nails.
 Take proper care of her teeth and gums.
 Breathe through her nose and not through her mouth.
 Turn her head away from others when she is coughing or snccZing.
 Choose food which is sufficient for her own needs. of wholesome quality, and well balanced
 Chew her food thoroughly and quietly.
 Drink four to eight glasses of water daily.
 Remove damp clothing as soon as possible.
 Select comfortable and properly fitting shoes and stockings.
 Get sufficient sleep in a wcll->cn- tilatcd room. Relax at frequent periods during the day. Take regular and systematic cX- crci$e. Keep al normal weight. Hold her body in correct posi- ton at all times whether sitting or standing. Refrain from using coffee. tea and stimulating soft drinks. Mental Habits The mental habits suggested arc equally worth while. 4 girl who considers herself to be in the best of mental health should have de yeloped habits Of:
 Adjusting herself easily 10 her environment. Keeping cool m an emergency. Meeting difficulties calmly and settling them without delay.
 Persevering in spite of difficult ties Acknowledging error. Correcting mistakes if there Is an opportunity.
 Concentrating on the work at hand
 Thinking clearly. accurately and constructivcly before acting. Securing happiness in whatever work she undertakes Assuming responsibility without nervousness or worry. Believing in her own ability. Attempting to attain her ideals. Recognizing but not advertising | her own shortcomings. The success Of life under mod ern social conditions depends upon adaptabilitics Of people to each other. The person who is i'll either physically or mentally is not adapt able.

Toad was his cousin, but Old MT. Toad could not have clung to the side of that stump to save his life. No, sir. he couldn't have clung there 10 save his life. He was thinking of this as he looked up at his small cousin.
 T don't understand how you do it." said Old Mir. Toad.
 Stickytoes suddenly let go and dropped right down beside Old MT. Toad. Tt is very simple Cousin" said he Just look at my toes. l won der that you have never noticed my toes before.'
 Because they are worth notc- Ing" said Stickytoes. Look at them now. They are not in the least like yours, are they?"
 Old Mir. Toad looked, "No-o,' said he. slowly. they are not in the least like mine. If you ask me they cer- tainly are queer looking toes.'
 Stckytoes held on" hand UP. They may be queer-lookinC," said he. but they certainly are just the thing I need. You will notice that the end of each toe is round and flat. What is moro, fl is sticky. Watch me now" stickytoos gave a long leap and landed on the side Of tree. All four feet were spread ont and he stuck right where he landed. Yes. sir. he stuck right where he landed. Then he made living leap across 70 branch. II wle 2 small branch and he almost mis-"d it, but he caught it with his two hands and pulled himself m. Then he looked down at old Mir Toad.
 There you are. Cousin'' said he. '1t is all on account of thcso foas of mine. If didn't have these sticky toes. I shouldn't he able 10 live in trees"
 Huh" erunted old Mir. Toad What IS the idea of living in trees sny"sy?'

 Wait A bit wait hit.' replied Sticllytoes. Give me 3 little time l don't need much. hut l do need a little. You catch a few ants and then look at me"
 This reminded Old Mir. Toad that he had been neglecting those ants. So. for a minute or two. he Was very busy once more. Then he looked ID to where he had last seen his Cousin Stickytoes the Tree Toad. He did not see anybody 'Wherc have you gone, Stickyto"s?" he called.
 The answer was q funny litil" tnuckIe. T haven't gone anywhere '' said Stickytoes. II am right where you last saw me-
