And Grow Healthy.

The proverb laugh and grow fat should read laugh

scientists who spent hours in their abora
tories to prove it.
Laughter they say stimulates respiration and circulation
increasing the blood pressure and sending blood to the
head by breaking up every train of thinking every
tanned activity of the body.

subconscious brand of vanity
as a mans temptation to brag
about the fish he hooked.
The divorce problem could be
solved very easily if some clever
efficiency expert could invent
a system by which a modern
woman could marry her second
husband first and be done with
it.
"Sef-expression" is all right
until a husband gets it con-
fused with self-assertion or a
wife gets it all mixed up with
self Indulgence. Then it has
a way of developing into what
looks like just plain, oldfaSh-
ioned selfiShnesS.
Life without a love interest
may be endured-just as one
can go through a seven-course
dinner without an appetite
but it's apt to be very flat and
inSipid.

It makes a difference, Of
course, whether young people
after 16, let us say-are lead
ing a vigorous, out-of-door life
or are holding down a seden'
tary desk job or are going to
school, as to the amount of
food that is required to keep
them in good health.
The body and nervous sys-
tenn are still growing and in.
creasing amounts Of energy
are being used up.
The greatest problem as to
proper diet seems to be the
luncheon.
Young folks are still living
at home, as a rule, and they
eat a fairly well-balanced
breakfast and a satisfactory
and sensible dinner in the eve
ming.
But during the day our
young men and women either
do not take the time to eat
properly, or to think about it,
or their work does not permit
sufficient time. Proper lunches,
therefore, assume unusual i'm
portance.
DIR. Mary s. Rose has worked
at several typical luncheons
which are inexpensive and spe.
cially suited to young people.
They are as follows:
Cream of tomato soup, 1
cupful.
Toast, 2 slices.
Butter, l tablespoonful.
Rice pudding, as cupful.
Total, $50 calOries.
Potato soup. "a cupful.
