FOOD PROBLEMS
Beware of Spring Fever.
By sALLIE MONROE.

A good deal used to be said about the
ravsges of Spring fever There isn't so
much Spring fever nowadays. Ano the
reason for this change is not that doc
tots have learned how to control the
disease with medicine, but that the dis
ease has been conquered by food
Spring fever was really no more nor
les than a lsnguid, tired. sometimes
actually exhausted state that prevailed
in the Spring. People had been shut
indoors all Winter without Suficient
raw food. They didn't know their diet
was deficient. With plenty Of meat and
eggs root vegetables, canned fruit
hams and preserves, with all sorts Of de-
licious desserts, why was it, they may
have wondered. that sppetites Jagged
and health failed?
The thing was, of course, that the
Winter diet Of those days lacked vita
minis. Vitamins because they are so
largely present in lettuce and oranges.
which are now Winter commonplaces
with most of us, and in many other
nowadays usual foods. are now much
more numerous in our Winter diets
than they were, and we show the re-
suits by not suffering from Spring
fever.
So be careful to take advantage of
the Dement'S our wider diet puts before
you. And now that Spring Is approac CHI
ing don't let yourself or your family
suffer because of a let-down i'm diet
care. Serve raw apples, raw cabbage
oranges, canned tomatoes as often as
you can make them tempting, raw milk
and whole-glai cereals, and then face
the coming Of the sometimes enerva ting
days of Spring with confidence that
Spring fever will pass you by.

FLORENCE M.
Answer-Oocoa butter, oil or an oily
cream will lubricate the massage and
help to keep the skin from becoming
too dry. but the trouble is that you, like
a great many other girls and women,
have been thinking that there is some
thing magical about cocoa butter, oils
and creams and that all you had to do
was to pat it in the necessary places
and, prestol you would fill out the hol-
lows and have a lovely rounded neck,

Fortunately or unfortunately our
bodies cannot be made over developed

tackle the problem from the inside for
practical results. No external applica-
ton can possibly make you plumper

from within. Your neck, throat and
