IMPORTANCE
OF SUNSHINE

Sunshine is as important to chill
dren as food, observes DR.. r. I.
Harris, writing in Hygeia for July
on the use of sunlight in the treat.
ment of tuberculosis.
Sunlight has been found espe-
cially helpful in the treatment of
tuberculosis OF the bones and
Joints. often called surgical tuber-
cuIosis. This type OF tuberculosis
usually. spreads from primary
focus Of infection in the lung until
it is generallzed. in contrast to the
localized form, which IL limited to
the area first invaded by the ba-
cillus.
A large percentage Of patients
with surgical tuberculosis can be
completely cured. In one group
of adults that DIR. Harris has had
under his care. IS of the first hun.
dred were able to return to useful
occupations and support their FAM
lilies. The results in children are
even better, he says.
Since 95 per cent of us have a
tuberculous infection some time
during our lives and since sunlight
gives us the best resistance against
it. it behooVes every one to nave
as much as possible.

of service that is. passed on
tray for the cheese course after
the dessert course, or for the
serving Of the accompaniment
of the salad course.
The crackers are placed, as you
know, on the fiat surface, the
rim" part, and the cheese is
placed in the covered dish that
fits into the center. "A cheese
knife should be served with the
cheese.
2. Usually. In metropolitan
places the evening meal Is almost
always referred to as dinner and
the middle-of-the-dav meal as
luncheon" And this is true even
il the menus for beth are quite
alike.
3. No. To introduce people who
come for business or professional
reasons like this would seem very
much forced.
4. Yes--coId and incorrect. As
a matter of fact, this response is
meaningless. The girl should say,
for instance, THE dance was de-
ligl1tful," or II enjoyed THAT dance
so much,'' or something that indi-
Gates that she, too, liked the dance.

When Manners Are Correct - By Mrs. Cornelius Beeckman

But how to answer the second
part Of your question 90 not
know--I have never been able to
figure out! The answer is-and
it is thoroughly unsatisfactory
one--that olives should not be
served this way. Ii they are
used in combination with other
foods, they should be chopped.
And IL they are served this way.
i for one. don't eat them!
4-Prune pits should not be
taken in the mouth at all. The
prunes should be eaten with q
spoon, q dessert spoon, In the
right hand, and fork In the
left. With these two utensils you
separate the fruit from the pit,
leaving the pit on the, dish in
which the prunes are served. In
any event. the prune pits should
not be put on the plate served
underneath the sauce dish.
s. 1t is usually necessary to re-
fresh our fingers after a meal,
even the fingers OF the most
punctiIious eaters. But if you do
not wish to do this, it is not re-
quired that you do so.
s. To my mind, it Is vastly bet
ter taste to write a personal note
of acknowledgment to letter of
sympathy or flowers or any other
expression of coincidence. For a
public person, where thousands Of
acknowledgements must be made,
Of course, the engraved cards are
convenient and necessary, but for
the majority. the personal note Is
appropriate and. from the nature
of it. in the best of taste.

TASTY SALAD
SANDWICHES

Some like their sandwiches
dainty-mere wisps of paper.thin
bread and delicate filling. And
some like them colessal--composed
of several layers of bread with
meat or cheese. and often both,
between. Both groups unite in
praising the salad sandwich. It's
crisp and colorful qualities appeal
to the esthetic cater, and it's
generosity and variety of flavors
make it popular with those of
hearty appetite. Especially when
a salad sandwich Is toasted, as it
frequently is, does 1t universally
appeal.
Salad sandwiches are also In
the good graces OF the hostess
and home.maker. They may be
SO designed that, with the addi-
ton of a beverage, they provide a
full meal in themselves. Thus,
when the weather IL warm, in
formal luncheons OF suppers can
be moved out-of- loUrs. and en-
joyed on the shady porch or In
the garden.

Once again l am questioned by
a reader Of this column concern
ing happiness. What is happi'
ness. really, she inquiries: where
is it found, and does anyone ac-
tually possess It?
The first question, I believe.
would have as many answers as
there are people in the world,
since every human being has
different idea of happiness. one
which suits his own likings and
aims and nature; and those, OF
course, seldom are repeated by
others.
AS to the last question, a great
man once declared that it Is
mostly the insincere person who
claims to be happy. Nearly every
one, this man said, wants some
thing he hasn't got; and, since
most Of the things he wants can
be purchased, his whole desire
goes out to money-quantities or
money-with which to buy what
ne thinks would be happiness.

S. Should a finger bowl always
be used when it is set before
