the coconut oil IS in the making Of
butter substitutes or m%argarines.
The coconut when new contains q
refreshing milk liquid which may be
used fresh or fermented. In the trop-
les it is used to make q sweet ice
cream. When the coconut Is green,
the fleshy part has not become hard
and may be eaten with a teaspoon.
It makes a very satisfactory meal. IN
most of the coconutS obtainablc in
America. the flesh has become hard
ened and is very tough to chew. but
is good for Strengthening the gums and
increasing the circulation about the
teeth.
The flesh contains 3iaT water, SO
protein, 57i2eo fats, 3les carbohy-
drates, and 1a% of mineral matter.
The mineral matter contains a large
amount of chlorine. When used in
the raw starchy form. coconut Is not
as easily digested as in the soft con-
dition, but it may be made more
easily assimilated when boiled or
baked. Coconut must be cooked a
long time to thoroughly soften tho
tough fibres, when 1t may be used as
the starchy food in place of potatoes,
macaroni. rice or other starchy food,
but should not be used in addition to
them.

Music Is International

There is an in.ernationalism TO great art that goes
far above and beyond the bounds Of ordinary national
feeling.
When tho French republic held funeral services for
Marshal Foch. the whole proceedings, naturally enough
were as nationalistic as possible. Foch was pre- eminent-
ly a French hero: no one would have dreamed Of sug-
costing that Germans join in honoring his passing.
Yet the funeral music which sounded In Notre Dame
and the streets OF Paris as Foch was laid to rest was
written by Germans. The magnificent funeral march Of
Siegfricd, written BY Richard Wagner. and the great
March Heroique,' by Ludwig van Beethoven. were
played by French bands. for the funeral of a grca.
French warrior-and no one thought Of implying that
there was anything incongruous in 1t.
Great music has no nationality. 1t is the property OF
each nation that can appreciate 1t.

now TO USE

People who live in tropical regions
! call the coconut the most valuable
! tree in the world. since 1t furnishes
them with food and drink, the lumber
for their huts, the matching for their
roofs. and the sap Is used for making
wine or vinegar. The tender shoots
may be cooked as asparagus or cab.
baae. and the young buds used for
salads.
From the dried coconut OF copra
is pressed an oil or edible fat. which
can be rsed as substitute for butter,
or be made into soap. face cream and
other products. In England the oil Is
used. too. in the preparation OF q
type OF powdered milk.
In the Philippines a brown sugar
is distilled from the sap Of the an
opened flower of the palm. The coco
nut is also used for sugar In Java.
The South Sea maidens use the oil
as a beauty oil and dress their hair
and bodies with it. In fact. mai6ens
throughout the world use coconut oil
as a beauty preparation, since It Is
the basis Of many cold creams.
The coconut. protected by its float
ing sheath. has been carried by wind
and wave to every tropical land and
island where it will grow. Since the
shell is impervious to salt water the
growing qualities of the seed were
not destroyed. Although the tree
grows best near the Seashore, 1t re-
Quires fresh water.
In America the dried grated COCO
nut is frequently used as a garnish
for salads. in making macaroons. and
in candy and cake making. Prohibi-
ton has indirectly stimulated the
coconut industry. since it has brought
about an increased consumption Of
candy. and tons Of coconuts are used
in candy manufacturing. The oil
pressed out Of the dried copra can be
separated into an oil and o solid fat.
The solid part is known as COCO
stearing. being available for candles.
The oil is extensively used In marine
soaps. since it will lather in salt wa
ter. It is also used in face creams,

The business progress conferences which President
Hoover is holding at the White House are an expert.
30 serious q financial upheaval Is the recent stock mar
ket explosion may have some effect on business, such as
the curtatlment Of luxury buying and the paralysis Of
enterprise and initiative Of some business leaders. It
Is to ward off any threat Of business depression that
President Hoover has called these conferences.
Hts purpose Is to stimulate and coordinate the activ-
titles Of private enterprise and the government for bust
ness progress. with especial attention to the building In
dustry. He has chosen well for several reasons. Build
ing IS one Of the basic industries Of the country. The
government has the power Of taking concrete measures
because It can enlarge and speed up its own public
building program. Commercial and industrial building
depends on general business prosperity, and the first
three quarters Of 1870 were record months In this regard.
There has been . falling off this year In residential
building. which is attributed to the absorption Of credit
by stock market speculation. With release Of credit from
speculation and lower interest rates the way Is cleared
for . resumption Of this form Of building.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Effect or Fever

Question: H. c. M. asks: win you
kinly recommend q remedy for fallen
hair resulting form q recent scarlet
fever case? viii I gain back the nat
ural thickness OF my hair?"
Answer: The hair will always como
out easily after q lever. but if you
build up your general health and
strength and eat tho proper alkaline
foods you will soon grow back an
other good crop of hair.
Cancers and Cans
Question: NJ. w. writes: The doc
tors say they don't know where all
these cancers come from. Don't you
think they come frcln III, tin-canned
foods? Why can't everything be
canned in glass? I should think the
Pure Food Law would see to that.
Answer: ! really do not believe tho
cause Of cancer will ever be- found
from cans. but your suggestion about
canning things in glass is q good one,
although the methods used by the
modern cannery make It almost as
safe to Use the tin-canncd foods as
those put up In glass. The Gamers
themselves have improved their
methods a great deal in the past few
years SO that there is now little pois.
oning from canned foods.
Good Circulation
Question: J.W. b. writes: Every
bit Of blood I have seems to run to
my hands and feet as though they
were bursting. My hands are always
rcd unless holding them In an upright
position. ! am In the early fortics,
but this has always been so. Am we'll
and work hard"
Answer: It is likely that you have a
very good circulation OF blood and
that your blood Is rich in hemoglobin
and red cells. The average person
complains Of a poor circulation and,
In fact. most people would give a good
deal to have whlt you complain Of.
