HEALTH AND
DIET
BY Logan Clendening-

y AVSou SASAAuGHAAAS
Many people who believe their
colons are sluggish, eat a great
deal of roughage and are con-
stantly bloated and uncomfort-
able and have a tight feeling in
the abdomen. This is because
they really have highly sensitive
and irritable colons, and in
order to be comfortable and
have sufficient elimination,
need an opposite type Of diet.
They are nearly always uncom-
Portable ON a high residue diet,
and although this gives them
regular excavations, it irritateS
the Inside of the bowel so much
that they always feel a sense Of
pressure or incomplete empty
ing. Often they take to
cathartics to get rid of this full
feeling, and the cathartics still
further irritate an already Sensi-
tive lining of the colon.
Is Nerve Irritation
Such are the cases which
have come lately to be called
colitis. It is more a nerve irrita-
bility than an actual inflamma-
ton of the colon (as the word
colitis would indicate). But
some cases go on to an eX,
tremely severe functional condi-
tion-mucous colitis.
For these individuals the queS-
ton of a daily evacuation is OF
secondary Importance. They re
quire to be made comfortable,
and must have a smooth or
non-residue diet. Such diet,
containing sufficient residue for
such intestines is Gs follow:
Cereals: All kinds except
bran foods. Oatmeal should
be cooked in a double boiler at
least one hour) May have
cream and sugar.
Bread: Toast, crackers, stale
bread, zwieback.
EGGS: Coddled, boi1ed d,
poached or scrambled over wa
ter-usually two day.
Meats: Lean meat only. No
pork or picked meats. Meats
should include beef (broiled
steak, boiled or baked beef,
stewed or baked chicken; broiled
or baked fish; broiled or baked
liver. May have two slices of
crisp bacon a day.
Soups Are Valuable
Soups: Cream soups, strained
vegetable or lean meat broth.
Fruits: Orange juice or grape
fruit juice with sugar if de-
SireO.
Dairy Products: Buttermilk,
cottage cheese, butter.
Miscellaneous: Noodles, mac
aroni, spaghetti tho tomato
Sauce)
Desserts: Rice, gelatine (made
with strained fruit juices if de-
Sired). May have fruit jellies.

FOUR MATCHES

Detective Sergeant Cooley's
face wore an expansive grin
as he laid q typewriter sheet
on his superior's desk. Lieu
tenant Keith glanced at the
signature penned at the bot
tom and arched his eyebrows
in surprise.
HIN! And this is the fel-
low who had the strongest
alibi of the four. How'd you
work it. Joe?"
"Doped it out with the help
Of the matches, like I told you
I thought I could" answered
Cooley.
"Matches?" repeated the
lieutenant. frowning. Don't
forget I've been away a couple
of days and haven't followed
this case. What's that about
the matches, Joe?"
you see. chief" explained
Cooley, "in the first place I
figured the best chance for
getting the murderer was to
look into those four men that
used to go up to Hibbard'S
apartment once a month or so
for a friendly game of poker.
They all knew that this Itsara,
Hibbard's Jap, mad a brother
who worked for Professor Mes
senger at the college, and so
any one of them could have
worked that fake phone call
on Itsara to get him out Of
the apartment. Itsara tells
me that one night while he
was serving the drinks during
the game, Doane asked him
if it was his brother by the
same name that worked for
the professor. Doane had
called on Messenger a few
times, trying to sell him some
bonds.
A SIayer's Trick
That's how the murderer got
Itsara out of the way Tuesday
night at 10 o'clock-by phon-
ing, in the professors name,
that his brother was in an acci-
dent. And it's a mighty lucky
thing for this Jap Of Hibbard's
that he forgot to buy some
tooth paste that day, as in
structed, and that Hibbard mad

minutes after Iasara left and

bard's side of the table-to
Judge from the chair in which
he was found dead. The two
other matches looked as if they
had just been tossed into the
tray proper.
According to the Jap, Doane
and Montgomery both smoked
cigars, and both had lighters
and always used them. So I
put them out of the picture
for the time and concentrated
on Shattuck and Field, who
both smoked cigarettes and
had no use for lighters.
''Shattuck or Field-which
one was it? Here, by the way,
is what made me think the
one who did it was a cigarette
smoker: if you've ever taken
note Of it, chief, you know
that a pipe takes longest to
light, a cigar next, and cigar
cite can be lighted in practi-
aclly no time at all. And have
you ever watched how men put
out a match? Some will blow
it out instantly with a strong
breath. Others will shake it
in such a slow and absent
minded way that the air really

was seen by several people.
Well, with the Jap out Of the
way, the murderer had at least
40 minutes to do his job. We
traced the phone call from a
pay box in the subway station
across from the apartment
house, as we expected to. From
the shadows by the side Of the
subway exit, this fellow could
see when the Jap got into a
taxi.
Both Were Smokers
Now. I found four burnt
matches in the ash tray on Hib-
bard's table. Itsara says he
cleaned out the tray that morn
ing, and Hibbard didn't get to
his apartment till around half
past nine that night and hadn't
smoked before the Jap left on
his hurry call. Two of those
four burnt matches must have
been used by Hibbard. He was
a pipe smoker and they had
been burned down about two
thirds of the length in lighting
up and were placed, with the
burnt parts inward, on the
cigar rest of the tray on Hib-

fans the flame brighter until
they sometimes even burn their
fingers.
The Matches Story
We'll, the two matches
found in the tray-not on the
cigar rest-were both burned
only at the tip, indicating a
cigarette smoker who instantly
blows out his light. I got both
Shattuck and Field together
and watched their methods of
lighting up. During a half an
hour, Field used three matches.
He lighted his cigarettes slowly
and put the matches out slowly
Each match was well-burned al
= most a third Of its length.
Shattuck also used three; he'd
touch a match to the end of
the cigarette quickly and in
Stantly blow the light out, so
each match was hardly burned
more than at the tip-just like
those two matches found in
the tray.
when I pointed out to Shat
tuck that a lifetime habit had
been his undoing, he broke
down and confessed he was in
that room Tuesday night and
did the job. You can't get
awaySfrom lifetime habits, can
you, chief? Here this Shattuck
was careful not to leave any
finger-prints and he admitted
he flicked the ashes and then
the cigarette itself into the fire
place. And yet he smokes the
same brand that probably thirty
thousand other men do in this
town! But he didn't think the
matches were important"

ADVICE TO
LOVELORN
BY Beatrice Fairfax.
She's Sorry Now
NETCC EATDnA~,

OAAG 6VEEy NOW
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
About two years ago went
out quite a bit with a young
man whom I now realize I
love, although at the time I
was not sure and did not en-
courage him. We had a slight
misunderstanding, and since
then I have heard nothing
from him. How could I let
him know that I am sorry and
would like to see him again?
G. L.
Without knowing more about,
the cause Of the misunder-
standing, it would seem that
silence on the young mans
part may be due to pride. In
your effort to discourage him
from becoming too serious, you
may have overacted a little.
Perhaps he is sensitive and, in
that case, if you happen to
know that he hasn't been pay
ing serious attention to any
other girl, you might write
him a little note saying that
you would like to hear some
thing from him, that you
haven't seen him for such a long
while, etc. This would give
him an opportunity to see you
again, and, if you're clever,
you won't seem too indifferent
this time.
