DIET AND HEALTH
By DR.. Logan CLendening-

when the body attacks it's own
accumulated fat, they remain.
Their action is quite powerful,
producing a Sedative, sleepy
effect, finally resulting in ac-
tual coma, as in diabetes.
In 1921, DR.. Geyelin observed
that people with epilepsy who
were starved had fewer attacks
Of the disease. Such a treat
ment is naturally not applicable
to a lifelong disease, but trials
showed that if a partial ketone
state were induced in the blood
the effects were the same. This
effect is obtained by giving a
diet high in fats and low in
starches. That is the ketogenic
diet.
The results of this diet in
asthma were described yester-
day. In epilepsy a recent report
shows that 81 patients, most of
them children, were observed
for three to 80 months. Nine
teen became entirely free from
attacks on no other treatment
except the diet.
The details of the diet were
described yesterday.
QUESTIONS FROM READERS
L. M p, Newark, N. J.-"If
q tooth is knocked out and i'm
mediately replaced in it's socket
will it Stay?"
Answer: All other advice to
the contrary, yes. know a man
who is now a professor of medi-
cine in. a large university and
who is therefore a reliable wit
ness. When a boy playing
hockey he had his two front
teeth knocked out. He picked
them up from the ice, dusted
them off and stuck them back
In their sockets. They became
attached and stayed until he
was over 10 years of age. In
most such cases. however. there
is great absorption of the bony
socket around the root within
short time Il. o., a year,. The
nerve and blood supplies Of the
missing teeth are never replaced.

Few small children know the
habits and habitatS of giraffeS,
elephants, or even lambs. OF
course, if they're already well
supplied with commoner ami
mails, a striped tiger, or q kan
garoo makes an interesting Gu
riosity. (But we warn you to
read up well on tigers and kan
garoos, for you're sure to be
piled with questions If you give
one.)
Teddies, Dogs, and Cats
The Teddy Bear, Of course, is
as safe as a dog or a cat. But
that's because every child knows
some other child who has a
Teddy Bear, and he's accustomed
to seeing it. But, aside from
these, it's the dog and the cat
that are the most fashionable
animal toys everywhere this
year.
And what dogs and what
cats! Especially what dogs. It
makes little difference, what
kind Of live dog Johnny already
has, you can find its stuffed
counterpart in almost any toy
department.
Wire-haired terriers, French
poodles, settlers, ScottieS, Sealy.
hams, shepherds, Pekineses, all
varieties Of bull dogs, elbows, st.
BernardS. Even Chinook the
Antarctic dog that lived with
Admiral Byrd at the Pole. And
mongrels Of almost any mixture
your imagination can call forth.
They're soft. They're cuddly.
And above all. they look real.
They're real in coloring and ex-
preston. Real in posture.
And that's something that's
different this year. Because
these new dogs don't only stand
UP four square on their feet.

for him. We have quarrelled
twice since our first meeting but
still don't understand what
he means. I consider he is just
as good as am, and this kind
Of talk keeps me wondering. Do
you think he says this as an ex-
cuse for breaking up, or just an
alibi? B. E.
Aren't you inclined to be too
suspicious, my dear B. E., that
you take a young mans declara-
ton of unworthiness as an ex-
cuse to break with you? All
men, young and old, have their
moments of humility which usu-
ally are so few and far between
that it's a pity to misunderstood
or underrate them. You are
not sincere with yourself when
you say "if I give him up, I'm
through with them ALL" That
would be what is called cutting
off your nose to spite your
face"

CORRECT
MANNERS
Mrs. Cornelius Beeckman-

'-MESs COFHelIuS DccChuld4l-
The Restaurant Dinner Guest
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
/. When dining with a man,
and the head waiter leads the
way to a table, and pulls out
chair, should the woman take
the seat he indicates, or
the other, in order to permit
her escort to help her with
her wraps? It seems rude not
to accept the chair offered by
the head waiter, but the other
day I saw a woman deliber
ately walk over to the other
chair, allowing her escort to
be of any assistance to her.
Then the man sat in the chair
behind which the head waiter
stood.
2. If the menu is rather in.
tricate, is it correct for a wom-
an to say to her escort and
host, "You order for me, too?"
A. S.
/. It really doesn't make any
difference which chair the
woman takes: she has the
privilege Of taking whichever
she wishes. Usually the head
waiter stands behind the one
that he, in this way, suggests
is the more convenient one.
That is, it may be the chair
farthest from the serving table
or farthest from a passage
much used by the walters as
they go to and fro, or more
convenient for viewing an en-
tertainment, if there is one in
the restaurant. However, If
she prefers to take the other
seat it is for her to decide.
Whichever seat she chooses,
her escort should stand behind
her chair until she has taken
off her wrap, or until she tells
him that she is not going to
take it off. He should be alert
about this attention and should
not give over this social privi-
lege to the waiter. This is very
bad form.
2. It is far better for the
woman not to delegate to her
host the taSk-for it is a task
Of choosing for her the foods
that she wishes. She should
be so accustomed" to making
her own definite choice that
she will not need to do this.
It's a rather cowardly thing to
do and a socially "spineleSS"
tloinc to 70 to make other peo.
pie do our ordering. Determine
what you want and say it
definitely-and your companion
will like you the better for it.

Thirtx.Nine Not Too old

1nAEGy-N1ue NOC 4OO OAU
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am 23 years Of age and
have been going with a man Is
years my senior for a year.
He is quite welltc-do, and
is in love with me, I believe,
for he has spent that whole
year in doing nothing put what
he thinks I would like to do
and trying to please me in
every way. I think he wants
to propose to me, but someone
told him the other day he was
"old and set in his ways" He
keeps limiting about his age to
me, and asking me what I
think about marriage where a
man is so much older than the
girl. The only case like that I
know of was a very dear friend,
and her marriage was very un-
successful.
Now, I love him very dearly,
but can't decide whether I
should show my love for him
or go on being just friendly as
always. Will you please advise
me what to say to help him,
or do you, too, think it unwise
to marry one much older than
ones self?
A DAILY READER.
I cannot imagine why a man
not yet 40 should be considered
too old to marry a girl Of %,
especially when she is in love
with him. # you were not,
that would be a different story.
It's not q question Of difference

as he is fond Of dancing as I
am, there was no need to do
that. He works till late and
he comes for the last Of the
dances and then takes me
home. We cannot go out to-
gether because Of that. I go
to dances with my girl friends.
And here's the trouble. I
went out with another young
man now and then before I
satrted going with Roddy. I
shall call him AL. I can't
seem to get AL off my mind.
He tells all his friends and
mine, too, that he cares for
me. His friends, all of whom
are married, always invite US
to spend the evening with
them. So far I have refused,
although I felt badly after
ward. I don't know what to
do anymore. I like Roddy
real well, but at times I am
tempted to cheat. Can't you
help me and tell me what to
do? UNDECIDED.
AS you're not engaged to
Roddy, what can be the objec-
ton to your going out with Al?
At 18, it is well to have several
young men friends, and be
pleasant and agreeable with all
Of them. Unless in exceptional
cases, a girl Of your age Is a
wee bit young to marry and it's
better to pal around" with two
or three than to take one-to
whom you're not engaged-So
seriously.

It was a mad suggestion, that
Kitty go home with Connie i'm
mediately. But Connle's eyes
were burning, and she was vi
brating with a new release Of
emotion.
"You can just drop every
thing you're doing and come
on home with me-" Connie au-
nounced. "You haven't had a
fair chance in life, end I want
to see that you get it. There's.
no use waiting around either.
It's too important to postpone"
Kitty, stirred though she was,
was not being swept off her
feet.
There's a dozen reasons why
I couldn't do that. You're talk
ing foolishness. What would
your mother say?"
The mention Of her mother
brought Connie up sharply.
What had been in her subcon.
scious mind all the time
dawned with a crash. To cake
Kitty home and tell the whole

The diet described in the
article yesterday for asthma in
children is a somewhat new de-
velopment in dietary treatment.
It has been called the keto-
genie diet because it aims to
produce ketone bodies in the
blood. The ketone bodies are
acids which are formed in the
body from the fats. When fats
are broken down in the body in
the process Of nutrition, stage
occurs in which the fatty acids
appear. These fatty acids have
very fancy names such as
betaoxybutyric acid, but they
are all included in the name
ketone bodies.
Under normal conditions they
remain in the body for only a
short time. When there is
plenty Of sugar and starch be-
ing burned-when there is o
good fire going on in the body
they are further reduced to
simpler substances. In such
conditions as diabetes, however,

are not utilized. or in starvation

Due fine PITCHING
IN NEXT CAMPAIGN
Wood Regarded Promising
SouthpaW-0ther HurIerS
Considered Clever.
BY JOHN B. FOSTER.

~ YEw YORK, December 49,
M One Of the major league
i managers, expressing his
opinion as to what may
happen in the base ball race in
1891, observed that Pittsburgh has
a pitching staff that is potentially
the strongest in base ball.
This manager had been watching
Wood of Wichita all during the 1880
season, and when he found that Pitts
burgh had q hammer lock on Wichita
players he was sore at heart. He says
Wood is the coming left-hand pitcher of
the National League. The Giants
thought they had a coming left-hander
in Bill Walker, and it is not sure that
he may not arrive even yet.
The failure of Walker to succeed may
be one of the reasons why Dick Kinsella
failed to remain with the New York
Club as scout, because large outlay
was made for Walker
Has Flock Of HurIerS.
For pitchers Pittsburgh has Bednar,
who also was with Wichita and who also
is good: Brame, French, Grant, Kremer,
Swetonic, Willoughby and Wood. There
are some younger pitchers, too, but
those who have been named are play
ers of a fixed value.
If Wood continues to improve he
should pair up with French as a prob
able winner and between them they can
dole out all the left-hand pitching that
any team needs. French should be bet
ter this year than he was last. The set
back that he got in 1929, when he was
i'll, had to be overcome in 1880. He was
given enough work last season, but he
did not always get the best batting
support.
Grant has been brought over from
Rochester. International League man
ayers seem to think that he will pull
through
1t Is Swetonic who is most praised by
outside managers. He had Just started
in 1880 when he was overtaken by ill
ness and was practically lost to the
team all season. When he was able to
play again he seemed not to have lost
any Of his skill. If he starts the coming
season and his strength is good. he will
be apt to forge to the front as a win
0nr.
WillOughby Good Prospect.
Willoughby finished well with the
Phillies in 1929 and in 1880 he was of
no use to them. He simply couldn't
improve. Pittsburgh took him over in
the trade by which they obtained
Thevenow, and there are base ball men
who have a notion that Willoughby will
come popping into the front of the stage
one of these days. He is strong and
has pitching qualities, but can't con-
troll the ball. Control can be learned.
Barney Dreyfus, owner of the Pirates,
believes he has a good pitching staff,
the best outfield in the league, and a
better infield than he had last year with
the addition of ThevenoW
