Elsie Janis Talks of Bachelors, and Says

New York. Mar. 9. F-Challl up another victory for the Prince of Wales. Elsie Janis thinks he is the most eligible bachelor avail able in this leap years crop Of malcs-and that in spite Of his pos session of the distinction four years ago, or even eight.
 "He is so young. so good look ing, so intelligent, and still there IS always that little idea of a king dom." asserts the bachelor girl ac- tress.
 Elsie is highly in favor of leap year, though she isn't convinced that its prerosatives are confined solely 10 the fourth year 10 which custom attributes II. Its privileges are commonly invoked among the ladies, she believes, though subtly.
 The next most attractive among the worlds famous bachelors in her category is 8 composite of Lind bergh. Jascha Heifetz, Gene Tun- ney and H. l.. Mencken.
 "Lindbergh is sweet" and she smiled wistfully. But I really think he is too much away from this world to even consider women as affecting him. He has a great ideal. and. while he likes girls. no one individual could ever make him forget this ideal enough to al- low him to fall in love with her.

 And Ileifetz'' Perfect. You know. his engagement is reported every few months. and it just makes me sick when I hear of it. | I'm always so relieved to learn that it is all off.

Your Health How To Keep It. Causes of Illness
By Dr. Morris Fishbein Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of H,geia,
 the Hcalth MagOZine.

Since dentists have begun care ful research as 10 the cause of tooth decay. it IS beginning to be realized that in this as in other portions of the body prevention is far better than cure.
 IL was found, for instance, that the diets of D children with good teeth had included vegetables, friut, meat and eggs, whereas the diets of a5 children with poor teeth were largely lacking in these substances.
 tarbofydrate or sugars predom- mated in the diets of three chill dren with good teeth, but of II children with bad teeth. Dr. l.. Q. kappes. who investigated these cases found also that vegetables, fruit and milk predominated in the diets of more mothers of children 1 with good teeth than of those wit poor teeth.
 | It is an interesting observation Of many physicians that heredity also plays some part in the type 1 of teeth and their resistance to de- l cay. " lltll li!c itttb dI' SlON III 1 appearing in the child, it will be Iound that either one or both 0t the parents also had difficult den- tition.
 The herelity factor is difficult to eyaIuate because, of course, the same diets are usually followed by grandparents. parents and children Thus far. enough scientific evidence is not available to say exactly what part is played by heredity and what part by diet.
 The general resistance of chil- dren with bad teeth is not so good las children with good teeth. Tho Ichildren with poor teeth are more likely to suffer with such Condl- tions as rheumation and resiratory infections than are those whose teeth arc well developed.
 This is apparently not due 10 any
 definite relationship between tho
 teeth and the infection. but is tt
 be taken as an indication of the
 fact that good teeth are associated
 with good health.

I begged Noel Neritzen's pardon for my momentary misJudging of his discretion and his trustworthineSs- all the more fervently because l could not utter the words in his hearing, but must silently frame them from my unsuSpccted position a few feet away from the place where he was facing Mary Harrison.
