lively large proportion Of proteins,

diet of young people, but when one is

less of these foods. Begin by emitting
potatoes and other starchy vegetables
from your diet and eat bread only
once day. For breakfast have tea or
coffee without cream and with little
sugar, a dish of whole-grain cereal with
skim milk and a large apple or other
fruit. For lunch have a large vegetable
salad, a glass of buttermilk or fruit
Juice, two graham crackers and a dish
of fruit gelatin. For dinner you may

WHY do you suppose our
w outstanding hospitals,
stated by world-famous surgeons,
make it a point to specify Kotex?
There's more than one reason!
In the first place, it is hygieni-
cally safe. In the second place,
it is amazingly absorbent-and
that is vital for all surgical pur-
poses. Actually-think of this
Kotex is five times as absorbent
as the finest surgical cotton! Each

 Particularly at this season of the year. inexpensive and delicious meals are possible. The August appetite demands less hearty food and the market supplies vegetables and fruits at minimum prices.

It's surprising how many vegetables lend themselvcs to .n- tcresting connections with we'll seasoned stuffings of meat or nuts combined with bread crumbs. mac aroni or rice. Cabbage, eggplant, tomatoes, green peppers, cucum- bers, summer squash, onions and potatoes are attractive and of in- creased nourishment when served with a stuffing.
 The vegetable and meat casser- ole Is another praiseworthy low cost dish. The long slow cooking developes a rich, blended flavor that Is decidedly appetizlng. For August meals. use carrots. lima beans, corn, tomatoes--any com bination you have at hand with meat as Il seasoning. Use bot tied coIOring to make it brown and season generously with kitchen herbs to give a pungent snvorine IS.

 The cost of the meal also can be kept down by planning desserts to add to the food value and round

GLORIFYING

Summer time, no matter how lovely 1t Is. Is hard on older women.
 Especially If older women work, the summer taxes them tremen- dously.
 One of the mean things about life is that older women feel the heat more than the 16-year-old They show 1t more. too. Just where the Justice is in a 16-year-old girl looking cute, with her hair damp from moisture, tumbling about her flushed face. while the older wo- man merely looks frantic, cer- tninly don't know. The only an- swer to it Is to avoid hurrying and take life as easy as you can.
 Haste Is one of the modern vices It becomes n dangerous vice m summer time. The most crowded store, the most heated thorough fare, Is not Bo bad If you don't have to dash along. pushing the passcrs- by this wa. and that. Take 1t easy
 An Aid to Morale
 First of all, to stay cool and col Iectcd, change your things every day of summer time. Even 1T you have to rinse things out at night and iron them mornings. the sense of superiority that you get from immaculateness will do much to stiffen your backbone when the heat might melt 1t.
 Moreover, no matter how mussed or soiled n dress gets after q day In the store or office, you cant feel sC low in your mind if you know just how fresh 1t was that morning.
 Wearing white Is one great aid to coolness in mid summer. Older women. especially, look nice in white. It ts the most natterinG thing any woman can wear. from the point of view of making her look feminine.
 Watch your foundation garner nts and your shoes in summer time Thissis particularly good advice fof older women. The way they corset themselves and the way they care Tor their feet do much to keep

Claire had learned how to make fudge, penochi. sea foam, taffy and Persian sweets. She was looking for new recipes. Her mother came across directions for making fruit paste. She suggested that Claire try making such fruit confcction. Claire did and was Immediately busy teaching the other girls. Here is her method. Mrs Lacey had made some goOseberry and raspberry jelly. The juice had been extracted. In the jelly bag was left the rather dry fruit pulp.
 Claire put the pulp through | sieve. This removed seeds and tough skins. one time she com bined cherry. gooseberry. curran' and raspberry. Another time sh' used plum pulp alone. And st!l another time she used peach ant apple. For the berry and the tar' plum mixtures she used one pound | of powdered sugar for each pound | of pulp.

 have been so intensely Inter- ested in Dr ID, A. ThOm's opinions and his excellent advice about chil- dven's eating that l must follow up some of hts remarks 1 wrote to you yesterday. by a few more in- tercsting facts to-day.
 If you missed that, let me sum marize for moment. A child must be cheerful when he eats, not sulky or excited. He should not be cOaxed or fussed over as that attention is sweet to him and he will let you repeat it. He should not heur his mother tell the neighbors how Tommy will not eat" He will continue to keep in the limelight.
 Don't Worry, Mother
 Now we can go on with further news. Dr ThOn tby the way. d leading specialist in child benav- for. ir you have not happened to hear of him), says this
 "Onc of the most common miB- takes the mother makes is brought about by her prccOnceiv- cd notions that every child re- quires the same amount of food and that every child must neces- sarily eat every meal. With this idea in mind she becomes frctful ana cmotionully upset If the child fails to meet her standards. Not withstanding the fact that the state of nutrition is one of the most important indicators of the child's well-being, 1t does not hold true that all children require the same amount of food and that they must necessarily be of the same height or weight at a ccr- tain age, or that any particular harm win follow If they miss Il meal or two. It Is frequently this undue anxiety on the part or the parent that tends to make the meal hour an event rather than an incident In the child's daily life.
 Don't Arouse AntagOnism
 ". If. for some reason the child cannot. or will not. eat the meal before him. do not force him or talk the matter over be- fore him. There Is grave dn ngcr of arousing m antngonistic atti. tude toward q particular type of IOOu Dy IHSiS'Iuk tuut U oe S"''' the first time it Is presented There Is probably n certain re- sentiment on the mothers part If her command is disputed, and perhaps there Is some feeling. though 1t is entirely unjustif"d. that If she cannot make Tommy cat Spinach or carrots the first time they appear on the table hc never will ent them. As a matter of fact, there Is more danger of creating m unpleasant scene which will recur to the child when next he sees these foods. and so prevent his eating or enjoying them.
 "Children are quick to copy, too. If Grandma k on a diet and ca mot eat this or that. of 1T Father announces his likes and dislikcs, Tommy may become mo- tionai and hnicky in his eating

Governor Seeks
Series OF Tariff
Meets In State

PHOENIX, Ariz., Mar. 7. U.P0-
The Federal Tariff Commission has
been requested by Governor George
w. P. Hunt to hold series of hear
ings in Arizona concerning the pro-
posed tariff on copper produced by
cheaper labor in foreign countries.
The chief executive dispatched an
appeal to e. P. Fletcher, chairman
of the commission, for the hearing
He pointed QUO the great need tlr
a tariff cn ttiis metal and offered
his services in securing data i3r
presentation to Congress on the
matter.
you could render a great SER
vice by holding hearing on the
subject in Arizona" the governors
telegram read. IF your commits
sion is unable to hold sessions in
Arizona Or send a representative, 1
can aid you by furnishing a referee
to secure data under oath and seld
it to be included in your report"
Fletcher, the governor was in
formed, has been holding hearings
in Washington, D. c., for the pur..
pose of placing tariff on copper,
but it was charged no representa-
tive from Arizona, one of the SER
iously affected states, was at the
hearings.
There are 40 copper districts in
Arizona and Of these only seven
are operating today" Governor
Hunt told Fletcher. These seven
have greatly curtailed production
due to the low price of copper"
"As a result thousands of labor
ers have lost their employment and
business is adversely affected. Men
have been out of work for several
months and are suffering seriously
because OF CAe S1CuaClOn winch is a
direct result of the closing down of
our major industry"
The income of Arizona itself is
threatened with the reduction due
to the closing Of mines, Governor
Hunt added. The executives mes
sage followed a memorial adopted
by the 10th legislature asking Con-
gress to place a tariff on copper.
The memorial sought q six cent
tariff, the difference in cost of
production Of copper in the Unit
ed States and that produced by
cheap labor in South America and
Africa.
