White Flour Returns to Favor
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

it was in past years thought to be lack
ing both In nutriment and In roughage
She fed her family punctiliously on the
darker fiours, and insisted that she was
doing the right thing. Physicians and
chemists who are experts in food values
encouraged her in so doing.
The n came a revelation. Not al
stomachs could stand the roughage. In
correct proportions it is needed for
health. But this specializing OF diets
so that roughage was overstreSseo
proved deleterious. More Investigations
and experiments were needed, with the
result that white -four is again put on
the wholesome foods list
Fortunately, whenever food Is adj
vised against, results of its discontinue
ance are watched. and If there are
enough exceptions to the good effects
further investigation is made, and rea-
sons for the trouble are sought. In
the case of flours, it was discovered that
the roughage of coarser flours was oc-
casionally disturbing, and, furthermore,
that after all, white flour had its
beneficial points.
1t is not alone in the matter OF
fiours that revolution In specialized
food diets has come, Today 1t Is APP
preciated that varied menus are not
only more palatable, but they are actu-
ally needed BY following natures dc
tates as to what agrees and what dls-
agrees with individuals IN the matter
of foods health Is best preserved.

Otho'S FIRST step was to advise his
relatives and friends to provide for
their future In the best way possible.
Having embraced them, he sent them
away, and then wrote letters OF con-
ISOLATION to his sister and to Messalina,
whom he had planned to marry. After
ward he distributed such cash as he
had among his servants.
Evening had arrived. "Let us add
this night o our life," he said. Giving
orders that no violence should be al
lowed in the camp, he retired to his
chamber, keeping the door open until
a late hour, so that all who wished
might come and visit with him.
About midnight he took two poniards
and examined their points to see which
was sharper. Selecting one, he put 1t
under his pillow. shut his door, and,
getting into bed, slept soundly until

was driven to this course by his fnan-

At this time of the year, many
women have lived in their houses long
enough to decide whether they wish to
buy them and establish permanent
residence in them.
1t is not always possible to buy a
house outright, and the installment
plan is a natural alternative.
One plan now being used extensively
Is that of paying so much down, so
much monthly or quarterly, until the
house is paid for in full. Usually you
do not get title to the house until half
of the purchase price has been paid.
Paying for ones home out Of income
IS good sense and good economy, but
there are some cautions to heed. One
of them is to be sure you are buying
from a reliable and responsible broker
or agent.

honey dew and cantaloupe. And she
had watermelon ice that was refresh
ing and COOL
To make the watermelon ice she used
ripe fruit. She removed rind and seeds
and then chopped the pulp. To this she
added one-fourth as much sugar by
measure. Then she added few grains
salt and the juice of one-half lemon.
When the mixture became mushy she
beat into it the stifiy beaten whites of
two eggs. Then she continued freezing
it. Occasionally she softened one-half
teaspoon gelatin in one tablespoon cold
water, dissolved it in one-quarter cup
boiling water and added it to the mix
ture. When she did this she omitted
the egg whites.
For grownups she used to add a few
Sultana raisins, soaked in cooking
sherry. These gave the appearance of
seeds in the beautiful pink frozen water
ice.

MILADY BEAUTIFUL
BY LOIS LEEDS.

Dear Miss Leeds-I am in my early
20s and yet have wrinkles around my
eyes and mouth Don't you think
am too young to start having such
blemishes? My skin is rather dry.
GREEN EYES.
Answer.-You are quite right. my
dear Wrinkles should not appear on
your face at your age. The fact that
they are there shows that there is
something wrong Check up on the
following points: ~ Consult an eye
specialist, as eye wrinkles often come
from unexpected strain. ~ Build up
your weight to the average for your
age and height. 1t is the thin, nerv-
GUS girls who begin having wrinkles
early. 80 Revise your diet to include
plenty Of fresh fruits and vegetables
and an adequate amount of fats,
starches, sugars and protein foods.
Drink milk instead OF tea or coffee.
% Tight, high-heeled shoes may
cause facial wrinkles, SO be sure to
choose comfortable footwear. go
Cleanse your face with cold cream or
cleansing oil before you wash it with
CASTLE soap and warm water at bed
time. Rinse we'll and dry. Now pat a
little lanolin or facial cream on the
wrinkles and leave it on overnight. In
the daytime or evening use an oily
powder base. go Sleep eight or nine
hours every night and spend an hour
or two outdoors in the fresh air every
day. Good health underlies beauty Of
skin, so keep yourself physically fit.

M. J. E.
Answer.-The average weight for
your age and height is between ia
and ll9 pounds, so you see you need
to build yourself up and become fat
ter. The beauty of a woman's figure
is largely due to the simultaneous
layer of fat that pads out the bony
places and makes the muscular parts
look smooth instead of knotty or
bulgy. Perhaps, too, you have over
developed the right arm; change to
exercises like swimming in which both
arms are used equally. and make
point Of using your left arm as much
as you can. Swim the easy, restful
strokes and avoid fatigue. Be sure to
