mine who goes to the "Y" with me has

out why we aren't losing instead of
gaining. Surely we couldn't be classed
with the thin girls who are supposed
to put on weight by the same method
which stout ones use for reducing. It
has proved quite an enigma to both my
friend and me, and we are going to
let you figure it out for US If you will

Exercise to Aid Digestion.

Dear Miss Leeds: Some weeks ago
you printed in your beauty column ex-
ercises which help prevent constipa-
ton. I mislaid that article. Will you
please be so kind as to print them again,
and oblige daily reader? L. j. F.
Answer.-As so many have asked me
the same question, am glad to repeat
as many of the exercises as space will
permit. Any exercises which bring the
abdominal muscles into play are effec-
tive for overcoming constipation, and
these should be taken daily. Leg and
trunk raising in recumbent position
are excellent. Use these: % Lie down
on your back and raise and lower both
legs together, knees held stiff. (2) Lie
on right side. Raise left knee to chest,
then thrust that leg out and upward in
a sideways direction. Repeat with left
leg. go Lie down on your back.
Double up your knees on your chest.
Keeping your feet together, shoot your
legs out sideways. knees straight, then
swing them pendulum fashion to the
side and back to bent position. Rotate
your legs in this way 10 times to each
side. Rest a minute or two, then rotate
the legs forward alternately as though
riding a bicycle.
You will also find that colon massage
is helpful. 1t consists of a creeping
massage movement with the finger tips
on the left side of abdomen downward

ginger and cinnamon and one-third

OF seeded raisins cut into quarters, two
tablespoonfuls of candied orange peel
chopped fine and half a cupful of
broken nut meats Beat to a cream
one cupful each of butter and sugar
and add part of a one-pound can of
golden corn sirup, alternating it with
the flour until both are used, then add
the fruit and nuts. Knead the dough
with the hands for about minutes, or
until 1t Is smooth and firm, then pack
1t into the round molds of the size de-
sired for the cookies and set 1t aside to
chill for "a hours. Then unmold It,
slice 1t thin and bake 1t in a moderate
oven, or the dough may be rolled out
thin and cut into strips or with fancy
cutters. These will mellow and keep
for a long time If placed in q covered
tin box in cool, dry place.
To make delicious filling for these
cookies. mix well two teaspoonfuls of
flour with half cupful Of sugar, add
slowly half a cupful of water, one tea
spoonful of lemon juice and one cupful
OF chopped raisins. Cook until the
mixture Is thick and chill before using.
Dates may be used in place Of the
raisins, or chopped pineapple from
which the juice has been well drained.
Any kind of marmalade Is also good as
a filling for these cookies. They are
good for children's parties or school

New Kind of Fever.

In the goat-raising territory OF the
country, In Texas, Arizona and New
Mexico, a new kind of fever is en-
denic. It is called undulant fever. In
other parts of the world this same dis
ease bears other names, such as MaIta
fever. Mediterranean fever, Gibraltar
fever Cvprus fever-all goat-raising
countries. YOU will notice-and even In
Texas it is sometimes called dust
fever"
The name undulant fever best de-
scribes it, for in a typical case there
is a mild run of fever for perhaps two
weeks, then remission Of two or three
days without fever, then another run
of fever.
The illness is likely to be mistaken
for typhoid fever, when the first cases
occur in a community, but the Vidal
blood test remains negative and the
characteristic periods Of remission IN
undulant fever are against the diagnosis
of typhoid.
Again it is sometimes mistaken for in
fiuenza or grippe" because OF the head
ache, sleeplessness, sweating and pros
tration.
Undulant fever in the average case
runs for three or four months. cul-
ture taken from the patients blood when
the fever is up will sometimes, not
always, show the presence of the causa-
tive germ, called Brucella. Patholo-
gists are trying to develop a specific
blood test similar to the Vidal test for
typhoid, but they have not yet sue
ceeded.
Not all cases of undulant fever result
from infection in goats milk. Cases re-
ported in many parts of the Northern
States In the last year seem to result
from infection carried in cows milk.
Hogs are known to harbor the Brucella
type of germ and in at least one case
infection was evidently from handling
pork in slaughter house. Cattle are
probably infected by hogs.
A germ of the Brucella type Is recog-
nized as the cause of contagious abor-
ton in cattle Whether this same germ
is the one responsible for undulant
fever IN man is still uncertain.
It Is premature to assume that I'M
dulant fever Is spread in raw milk from
