DIET AND HEALTH
BY LULU HUNT PETERS. M. d.

of organs are more susceptible to GER
tain diseases than others. For in
stance, the long, narrow chest seems
to be more susceptible to tuberculosis.
But 1t does not follow, by any means,
that these certain diseases must be ac-
quired, for there are many other factors
concerned In acquiring a disease, and
these factors can largely be controlled.
Reasoning from this, it may be that
you have inherited the pattern for
large oil glands on your face. These
glands have an oversecretion Of sebum
or skin oil. which sometimes hardens
in the pores and forms blackheads or
comedones. The beginning of the acne
pimples is always in these blackheads.
so part of the treatment of acne is
their prevention and removal after
formation. This may be accomplished
by a thorough washing twice a day
with some mild toilet soap and hot
water, then wiping the affected areas
with some antiseptic solution such as
peroxide of hydrogen, diluted half and
half with water, or q solution OF alco-
hol or bay rum or toilet water, then
the extraction of the blackheads. This
is best done with what is known as a
comedone extractor Follow this again
with the antiseptic solution. This
would follow with q little glycerin So
lution-one part Of glycerin to four
of water.

In New England the variety known

she is placing before them pie OF the
same kind, although of different variety.
Because of its delicacy. squash is bet

that each is a wholesome vegetable, be-
sides being nutritious. The gourd

Pumpkin and squash have a sweet

made to extract sugar to be used as

Straight Talks to Women About Money
BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN.

Women buying bonds today seem to
be as much interested in marketability
as anything else. "Marketability" of
course refers to the readiness with
which a bond may be sold. For ex-
ample, a bond that is dificult to sell
IS not readily marketable.
To a certain extent woman investors
are quite correct in their concern. Few
women will care to own bonds for
which buyers are few or scattered No
body in a moment OF need wishes to
resort to advertisements or long dis
lance phone calls to sell her bond.
That is why one of the first things
such investors ascertain is whether the
bond has a ready market, or whether
it is traded in in any organized market.
Listing" has perhaps been over
emphasized In importance. It is fact
that in some Of the important invest
ment cities bonds sell more readily over
the counter than they do in the ex-
changes.
If the over the counter security is put
out by a substantial and reputable
company, and 1t has a ready market
over the counter, lack of listing should
not be considered detrimental to the
interests of the woman considering 1t
for investment purposes.
We have been asked to give some
tests which one may make to determine
the marketability of a bond. There
are a few tests, but one of the easiest
TO make is to learn the bid and asked
price on a bond. If the gap between
bid" and asked" is wide 1t is a fair
indication that the bond is not read
ily marketable.
When the gap Is expressed In eightns

which, at charity's behest, cough up
every year; it should relieve the pauper
skate, and still the Migrants at my
gate in endless droves appear. I will
not give away a bone; I need the
meager roll I own to feed my aunt

Eve and Mouth Wrinkles.

Dear Miss Leeds: am AZ years old.
I have a few wrinkles around my eyes
and mouth. How can I get rid of
these? 90 have naturally wavy hair
which is turning gray. How can I
cure it without dyeing it?
MRS. AGNES.
Answer-At bedtime after cleansing
the face thoroughly pat on a little
muscle oil or tissue cream across the
path of the wrinkles. Once a week
have thorough facial massage and use
the weekly facial pack. Massage will
stimulate the circulation and tone up
the muscles. If your skin is inclined to
be dry, use a little cold cream after
washing and drying the face. Remove
the excess cream and pat on a skin
tonic Make sure that you are not
suffering from eye strain, as this will
cause eye wrinkles more quickly than
anything else.
(2) Once the hair has turned gray
nothing but dye or restorer will color
it. The dye must be used at regular
intervals, as the gray hair grows in
from the scalp. The best thing to do
is to build up your health by wise diet,
plenty of fresh air, rest and sunshine
Massage your scalp and brush your hair
for ten minutes every night and morn
ing This will stimulate the circulation
and keep your scalp flexible. 1t is very
often dry hair with tight scalp that
fades and turns gray prematurely.
Use stimulating hair tonic two or
three times a week. Shampoo your
hair with a mild liquid shampoo and
dry it carefully. Do not use hot irons,
but encourage your natural wave with
the aid of your comb and fingers:
Steam the hair, and while 1t is still
damp arrange your waves and pin
them into place. After your shampoo,
before the hair Is quite dry, arrange
your waves. The following tonic may
be used as directed; it is not dye
and will not restore gray hair to its
original color, however: One dram
tincture of cantharides, 10 drope tine
ture capSicum, one dram resorcin, six
drains castor oil and 10 ounces bay
rum. Shake well. Apply a little to
the scalp and massage 1t for several
minutes. LOIS LEEDS.
Shaving Problem Answered.
Dear Miss Leeds: Won't you please
help me also? Cd I am II years old

friends because they might laugh at

should I take of it? Please tell me each

plain everything I should put on my
face before and after shaving. I will
follow your advice closely. want to
keep myself we'll groomed and my COM
plexion smooth and clear. Thanks so
much for your help SOPHOMORE.
Answer-0 While your question is
perhaps a little out of my field. maybe
a few suggestions will help you out
with that shaving problem which
looms large in the life of many sopho-
morcs. In the first place, use a good
shaving soap or cream and lather your
face generously, after washing your face
with soap and water. Apply hot towel
or two before applying the shaving
soap If your skin is rather tender and
the hairs stubborn. Then shave with
your razor and the hairs will come off
with the 1ather. Now rinse your face

Dear Doctor: Although I possess q
very clear skin, am bothered with
a continuous run Of pimples on my
face. I have done everything know
to cure them-dieting and all I have
an hours fresh air and walk two or
three miles daily, eat large quantities
of fresh vegetables, fruit and milk;
little meat and few eggs: no eating pc
tween meals and no candy or rlcn 1oooS
of any kind; two glasses OF cold water
on arising. My height Is 1eet
inches and my weight Is 10.
These pimples seem to run In the
family. Might inherit the tendency
to them? 1t seems too unfair wnen !
watch other girls eat all xmas OF Ilcn
food--ice cream, sodas, etc, and daren I
touch them MRS. O."
You evidently have acne, Mrs. o. 1t
is very common in young people, ana
stubborn to cure.
While you think your diet Is right, !
suspect that 1t is not quite sufi1cient,
for IL YOU are feet 6 inches tall ano
weigh only lis pounds, you are from
IS to 80 pounds underweight. TINS
looks as though you are not eating
enough, and any diet that Is not cor
rect in amount, or otherwise, lowers
the destroying powers OF the blood and
tissue fluids for any germs that may
happen to be around. In other words,
the resistance Is lowered.
While your fresh fruits and vege-
tables would take care of your vitamlns
and mineral elements, 1t is probable you
are not getting enough energy foods
and 1t may be that you are not getting
enough protein. In recent years the
need Of vitamins has been emphasized
more than anything else, because they
are the latest discovery in nutrition and
are most apt to be deficient in the ordi-
nary diet, but we mustn't forget that
SUFFICIENT of the other elements is nee
essary also. If were you, would try
to gain some weight and see what effect
that would have.
You are right about emitting candy
and rich foods, especially those rich
in free fat (cream is not q free fat
but an emulsified fat, but you might
eat more Of the whole grain breads and
cereals and perhaps take more vege-
tables and milk. Perhaps you need to
rest more than you do.

A Sermon for Today
BY REV. JOHN r. GUM.
Contented Man.

1.-THE lines are fallen unto me in
pleasant places; yea, have a goodly
heritage Psalms, xvi6.
This is the contented man. The con-
tented man says, THE lines are fallen
unto me in pleasant places" Not that
his lines never fall in unpleasant places.
He may have many Sucn experiences.
But he remembers and magnifies his
pleasant experiences, not the unpleaS-
ant ones. He counts his joys and
blessings, not his sorrows and woes. If
he remembers his cloudy days. he re-
members that they have been few in
comparison with his days OF sunshine.
And he remembers, too, that no clouds
ever covered any Of his days but that
they had a silver lining.
The contented man says. II have a
goodly heritage" Not that he Is rich.
He may be poor. Poverty renders some
unhappy. Some are made miserable by
riches. He does not make his happiness
dependent upon external things. So far
as such things go, If he has but little,
he counts it a goodly heritage. He does
not consider the little he has as mean
heritage because 1t is not as much as
some others have. He possesses spir-
itual heritage which enables him to
make goodly heritage of the meagerest
portion Of earthly possessions.
Contentment is not something deter
mined by the outward vicissitudes of
life. 1t depends upon what we have
within, not what we have without. God
and what God can mean in ones life
therein is the source of real and genuine
contentment. He who can say, THE
Lord is the portion of mine inheritance
and of my cup" is the one who can say,
1.-THE lines are fallen unto me in pleas
ant places: have goodly heritage"
And he Is the contented man.

or other fractions. it is a fair indica-
ton that the bond commands a wide
market, and will be easy to sell should
one decide on that course. The more
active the sales in bond the smaller
the spread.
We believe there is one factor that
Is overlooked. Readily marketable
bonds bring a premium. A woman in
terested in income and safety rather
than marketability can secure a higher
yield In bonds which do not have such
a ready market. 1t is questionable
whether every woman would wish to
sacrifice yield for STABILITY.
Quite often the bonds of companies
not nationally known are not listed and
yet they present excellent investment
prospects. Simply because they are not
well known or there is a relative lack
of information about them is no rea-
son why a woman should not seize the
opportunity they present.
