''That Tired Feeling''
BY DR. E. v. McCOLLUM.
Hygiene and Public Heah Hopkins University

The Winter diet was necessarily very
simple and monotonous. There Is good
reason TO believe that 1t was chemically
unsatisfactory for the maintenance Of
health even though 1t satisfied the ap-
petite.
After q period Of several months Of
meals that were largely made up Of
bread, molasSeS. meat and potatoes,
with pie to FL in the crevices they felt
all run down." Patent medicine con-
Germs made capital Of what they called
that tired feeling" and convinced peo-
pie that they needed tonic" or q
blood purifier"
Today, in city or country, there Is very
little difference between the Winter and
the Summer diet, because Of the
abundance of canned fruits and vege-
celery and the like are regularly pro-
vided for the Winter season. These
changes have largely caused the dissp-
pearance Of the tired feeling in the
Spring and consequently the belief in
the need for Spring medicines.
The old-time seller of patent medi-
cines for that tired feeling" had a
strong ally in the diet changes which
took place in his customers daily meals
with the coming of warm weather.
Various green vegetables were available
and eagerly consumed. The cows became
fresh and gave more milk. The hens
began to lay eggs. The garden supplied
fresh fruits and vegetables. The Sum-
mer sunshine contributed its health
giving properties. The tired feeling be-
gan to disappear, but the regular rene
dies had already been taken and the
beneficial results of the better diet and
the Summer sun were more or less
wrongly attributed to the ef1cacy OF
drugs.
Modern medical knowledge gives the
credit TO the better food supply rather
and green vegetables supplied all the
supplied that-not the fun amount
needed for perfect health, because the
clothing people wear shuts of the sup
ply to some extent-but enough to pro-
duce q decided improvement over the
conditions Of the dark days OF Winter.

proper amount, person would have to
take about one teaspoonflil Of cod-liver
oil q day. There was no other alternative
until the latest contribution Of science
made possible the incorporation OF this
important vitamin in o uniform and
adequate amount In some ordinary food

Child's Money Problems.

Do you make the common mistake
OF most parents in imagining that your
children have no financial worries or
cares? Your own very grown-up prob
lem Of raising O sufficient amount to
belong to the right" club, or to pur-
chase the new Winter coat, IS no less
trying than the child's problem Of how
to get together his part OF the pool
being made up to buy the new teams
base ball suits, or a sufficient sum to
buy a needed pair Of skates.
The difference Is that you either
have, or know Of means Of raising the
money needed Your child has only you
to turn to, If he or she is not permitted
to work.
Recognizing a child's financial prob
lens and giving sympathetic aid and
advice will do much for a child. The
common interest in the child'S affairs
may be welded as powerful influence
for good all through childhood and
youth.
A child's financial problems Is chiefly

grown-up cases. A child that will save

ENCOURAGED. In this way the training
justif1es the end, however childish and
trivial the desire may seem to the adult
burdened with weightier money matters.
BY showing q child what he may
best do without. how he may increase
his savings toward some much desired
objective, and If possible by giving him
a chance to earn q few extra pennies
each week. we help him with financial
problems which. Insignificant as they
may seem to US, are in reality very
fundamental to his training and future.
Saving should never be called cute"
or cunning. Nor should the good re-
suits be discounted by rewarding the
child with the prize as soon as he has
saved a few pennies toward it. The
child should be impressed with the
idea that saving Is essential to the

NANCY PACE
Dice Golf Is Easy to Learn
and Fun to Play.
nv FLORENCE LA 0ANKE.
By FLORENCE LA oANKE.

'Heigh no for q new game, and an
exciting one at that" Such an an
nouncement was SUFFICIENT to bring q
group over to Nancys any evening.
She called this game dice golf"
Here are the rules:
Get FIVE dice. Make a score card with
six lengthwise divisions and as many
crosswise ones as there are players. Six
divisions are needed since there are
six spots on a die.
Each player shakes all Ave dice. The
object Of each player is to see IN now
few plays or throws he can fill all six
holes. II he starts with hole three"
let us say, he keeps on throwing until
all his dice have fallen with three" up
permost Just so soon as die does
show three" he removes it and throws
the remaining dice until each OF them
in turn has come up three"
In Jeans case it took 10 throws to
get all her dice to fall three" up. Tom
required seven throws to get his five
dice falling with two up.
The first throw determines which hole
is to be filled first. Suppose that Jean
threw her five dice at the start and
they fell "one," "Dur," six" and two
"threes." The fact there were two
"threes" made her decide she would
start with her three hole" Had there
been a majority of "fours." she would
have started with that hole. The one
spots are "wild"-that is, they may
be called the equivalent Of whatever
hole is being filled. This does not ap-
ply, Of course, when the one spot hole
Is the one being filled. Then the die
must lie with "one" up.
Each player continues to throw until
he has completed any given hole. He
must, like all the rest, have all six
holes filled before the game Is ended:
The lowest score, or total number of
throws required to I'LL all holes wins
the game.
Be sure TO remove q dice just as
soon as 1t has fallen with the required
number upon its face. Remember
lone" spots are wild. And remember
that holes do not need to be filled in
order, but once hole Is started 1t must
be completed.

T HE entirely different forms Of
capital II" used here are par
ticularly interesting. When
i used as part Of q word, the IT"
Is an average form, but when 1t
indicates the first person, it Is Of very
unusual simplicity. It Is not necessarily
q weak or unconf1dent symbol, but
rather suggests lack Of .ostentation. The
writer Is probably a sincere, natural
person, with no desire Tor display. She
would tend, to react kindly to all social
overtures, but would never "gush" or
show undue emotion.
She Is perhaps keen and careful
observer, noticing even the smallest de-
tails. Unimportant small things would
not worry her, but she would scarcely
neglect an important incident, no mat
ter how small. The absence Of ending
strokes, as shown by the ID" st." g"

The at" crossing leads us to think OF
an imaginative person. She may use
this Imagination in some type OF arts
tic work or handicraft. Her home must
reflect. her personality. showing I'M

tertaining she may charm her guests by
her original and different ideas. These
may be incorporated In both her enter
tainment and refreshments.
Apparently she Is a person Of many
moods. Not that she seems surly or
sulky, but she may react TO the people
or conditions around her in a decided
manner. She is possibly sharp enough
observer Of herself to recognize these
changes. They may, at times, cause her
worry, unless she realizes they are an
external indication only. These little
annoyances which disturb the surface

ago I was In an accident and had my
nose pushed crooked. Since then my
nose has been red. especially across the
bridge. AZ my complexion Is white, the
redness Is very noticeable. What can
do? CD What can use for freckles on
neck, arms ara shoulders that will not
rub OF on my bedclothes at night as
freckle creams do? 90 have tried
everything to whiten my teeth, but they
remain yellow. What do you suggest?
RITA.
Answer-(D There may DO some con-
gestion OF tiny blood vessels that came
az q result OF the blow on your nose
Gentle massage may help to dissipate
the condition, but my suggestion ID that
you have q doctors advice before be-
ginning any local treatment for the
redness. It Ii possible, too. that the red
color may be due to poor circulation, in
digestion or constipation. An improve
ment in your general health will help
matters greatly. In the meantime you
may use powder to cover the redness
CD There are non- greasy freckle bleach
es that are applied and allowed to dry
on the skin. For this purpose you may
use the following: Two tablespoonfuls Of
peroxide, one scant teaspoonful borax,
one dram oxide of zinc and four ounces
roSewater. Lemon juice diluted with an
equal part Of water or glycerin also
makes q good bleach. 90 The yellow
color Of your teeth Is due to internal
conditions SO that doubt very much
that you can ever make them cleaning
white. It is natural for some people
to have darker teeth than others have.
Do not use bleaches on your teeth unless
recommended by your dentist. They
may tnJure the enamel.
