Aciidity |
Slams MoreDoors
than Temper!

"Touchy' and grouchy husbands
are often only sick men! It's acid
in their systems speaking when they
bark and growl.
Excess acid formed in the stomach
causes acid indigestion with gas.
sourneSs and burning It sets up
putrefaction and fermentation In the
intestines, which spread poisons
through the system and make Us
weak, tired, nervous and irritable.
A remarkable new corrective Of
acidity has been developed by Q ia
nous 100-year-old pharmaceutical
house in Germany. This new acid
corrective comes in the form of o
small. white tablet, called Magnesia
Oxoids Magnesia Oxoids upon con-
tact with the acid In the stomach
generate nascent. or active, oxygen.
Now, as any doctor will tell you,
active oxygen when created within
the digestive tract does just the
things required for-acidity. It slim
ulates the secretion of the alkaline
anucus. It checks putrefaction and
fermentation in the intestineS. It
stimulates the activities Of the In
festival walls and aids the natural
movement Of the bowels. All three
effects are necessary 10 O real cor

Who was she to stand in the girls way? After all. the doctor had warned Cass. Her tricky, unrelia- ble heart might fail her any day and Liane would be left quite alone.
 CT said you were not to answer now" said the great lady with firmness as she rose to go. "I shall talk to you later about all this. Think 1t over. Good night"
 Bewildered, Cass sought her room. Was ever mother beset with such a problem? More than any thing the other woman's desire 10 do this strange thing baffled Cass. Out Of all the world, why need she have chosen Liane? But what vis- tas the prospect opened up! What riches for the poor, brave child with her lovely looks and her wist- ful yearning for mice things!
 It was mad and unthinkablc even to consider it. Cass tossed and turned in the warm, airless little room under the caves. On the highroad, half city block away, motor cars went hurtling thruogh the summer scented night. Some where out there where the lights lay along the shore like jewels In a string Liane was laughing, danc- ing. This was for her 6 night stolen out of all the dull nights, one to be richly remembered. Mu- sic throbbing out of the darkness, fine fabrics to touch, servitors. Was this what life meant? Or did 1t mean working and saving.

Reams are written in summer time about vacations.
 But what. 1 ask you. about the majority of folks who have to stay home? shouldn't they have some consideration and help? They should. They rate more than those lucky ones who spend the summer at seaside or mountain, or travel ing here and there.
 Cleanliness probably Is the sweetest asset any office or busi- ness girl can have.
 Anyone who advocated the daily bath in this enlightened age would be laughed at. But you really should double that daily bath in summer time. A nice, hot, sudsy tub bath when you come home ex- hausted. discouraged. Youn be surprised how 1t seems to spruce up your sense of humOr to get thoroughly cleansed again. Finish off with cold water if you will. But don't sCorn the hot tub!
 The morning shower, of course. It is almost more necessary than the tooth brush. Otherwise, how can anyone get her courage up enough to get dressed to go to work?
 Here is where you can give your self a little boost for your ego. In vest in some very lovely toilet wa ter, Not too sweet a brand-some- thing cleap. cool, nice smelling. And some very soft and fatterins bath powder. Use them both, ana see if they don't inspire you to pu. on your lingerie and frock and step, in lively fashion, for the street car or subway!
 The bath out of the way and the day partly done. why not take a | few minutes from the lunch hour | for sprucing? Don't drag your self out and get mean little sand = mich and feel like an unfortunate slave. Take n few minutes, take off your blouse if you can and | scrub up--with soap and water.

 Last. but almost most important. don't ever try to keep a date for dinner or the evening without making q desperate effort to get q bath and change your things. If you can't get home. you at least ] can slip off your shoes and stock i ings and sponge your feet. This | will freshen you up no end.

Neither Sue nor Jean talked at first. as the long roadster swept down the road. The car was luxu- rious and expensive. So was Jean It was in his face. his clothes, his very smile.
 Finally Sue spoke. There were some people with whom one liked silence. Some with whom a silence could be golden. Others with whom it wasn't worth the prOverbial pen ny that is offered for day dream.

 Since first and last impressions always are of prime importance. q few suggestions for seasonal first courses may not come amiss.
 Ice cold bouillon of jelly-like consistency Is q welcome dish on a hot day. Fruit in the form of a cocktail. soup or appetizer also is popular for summer meals. Chill ed fish cocktails, vegetable appe- tizers and vegetable juice cock tails all make inviting beginnings for hot weather menus.
 There's one preCautiOn to keep in mind when planning these first courses and that is not to repeat fiavors. If you choose a tomato juice cocktail do not serve to- mato salad.

Chill the melon thoroughly before cutting and serve at once.
 Jellied consomme Is delicate for hot summer moons or even ings. Highly seasoned it stimu- latcs the appetite much as the hot soup does.
 Jellied tomato bouillon is appe- tizing with it's tart piquancy. It should bo quiveringly firm but not stiff enough to hold it's shape. A stiff jelly is unappetizing
 Crisp waters are a good accom- paniment for any jellied soup. and radishes and celery can be served with anything but n mixed veRe- table soup.
 Use GeIatinc.
 Canned soup, bouillon cubes or freshly made stock can be used for jellied soups. Instead of long cooking and fusslng over meat bones, try using gelatine for the thickening agent. This makes a jellied soup very easy to prepare.
 Extra salt and pepper are needed for iced bouilion, since very cold foods have a tendency to dull the nerve which Is sensi- tive to taste.

America Prettiest Girl" of 1922 Has Never Married Because She's Never Been In Love

Columbus Nearly a decade ago she was adjudged the prettiest girl in the United States and yet she has never married.
 Mary Katherine Campbell of Columbus, crowned Miss Ameri- ca" at Atlantic City in 1922 and 1923 - the only girl ever to re- ceive that title for two successive years-says the reason she hasn't marched to the altar is because she's never been in love.
 Maybe it's because I've done so much travelling" Miss Camp bell says, that I've never made the sort of friendships that might lead to matrimony. l don't believe in marrying unless couple are deeply in love-"
 This former beauty queen re- verses many traditions concerning Miss Americas''
 She doesn't smoke or use cos
 She never diets or worries about keeping slender.
 She's never been in motion pie lures and has no ambition to go to Hollywood.
 The reason Miss Campbell re- grets winning the Miss America" title is because this distinction brought such Fl flood of publicity she's never since been able 10 live her own life as she wanted.
 Every time anything about me appears in the newspapers" she says, "I receive a lot of telephone calls. 1t makes me q marked girl. If my appearance and conduct are not perfect in every detail I am reminded of 1t by friends who are told by other friends and so on."
 After winning the beauty title at Atlantic City -- in 1922 she was only q 16-year-old high school girl Miss Campbell appeared in thea ters for eight months. She went to Ohio State University for a year, went to ohio Wesleyan and then transferred hack to Ohio State. Then her mother died and Miss Campbell came home to keep house for her father. Her stays In Columbus were interrupted by short appearances in other cities, chiefly to model dresses.
 Two years ago she made a trip around the world after winning q contest in connection with ar Ohio Chamber of Commerce ex- position. Since then she has kept house for her father, H. R. Camp. bell. Recently she returned from n months vacation in Florida. Miss Compbcll retains all the charms that made her the first choice of a nation. She is 5 feet 6 inches tall. weights l30 pounds and Is in perfect health.

Then she put the vegetable over 10 cook in rather small amount of salted boiling water. When the vegetable was soft she put it. through Colander or mashed it with an old fashioned wooden po- tato masher. To the pulp she added plenty of butter. d good dash of pepper. Sometimes she thickened the mixture with a small amount of flour, stirred in cream. After she added this she let the squash cook over n low fire for at least five minutes to cook the flour.
 At other times she used the patty squashes, washed, holIowed and cooked in boiling water for two minutes. Then she stuffed them with mixture of sausage meat and bread crumbs. adding plenty of butter and baked until the squashes were tender.

The market stall were filled with summer squashes of all varieties. There were the little patty pan squash, the English vegetable mar row type-the kind that looks like overgrown cucumbers and the crooked neck kinds which look something like a crooked neck winter squash. Of course, they are not so large, heavy or solid.
 Having brought some home Lois referred to her cook book to see how to prepare them. She found that young. tender ones could be cooked without peeling and even without removing the young and tender seeds. But the older ones, distinguished by their darker yell low and somewhat roughened skin needed peeling. She cut the squash into pieces and removed the pithy spongy center with the seeds.

GANDHI REPEATS
THREAT TO QUIT
If PLANS FAIL
Indian Leader Prepares
To Defend His Belief
In NOn-ViOlence
BY G. NJ. DYCE-KEELE
United Press Correspondent

KARACHI, India, March 26. W.P)
The Mahatma M. K. Gandhi,
,iprepared to defend his creed of
non-violence against the attacks of
extremists, announced today that
he would retire from politics, tenn
porarily at least, If the All-India
Nationalist congress. meeting to-
night, rejects his peace truce with
the British government
The Independence leader, who
was the object of hostile demonstra-
tions by "red shirts throughout
last night, told newspapermen that
the execution of National extrem-
lists at Lahore had not affected his
position toward the peace settle
ment.
The hating of the executions
would have been outside the
terms of the peace truce" Gandhi
said. adding, however, that he be-
lieved the government had com
mitted a first class blunder.'
Decision to retire if defeated in
the congress vote on the peace
truce was not unexpected in view
of earlier declarations of the Ma
hatma, whose influence has carried
the Indian independence movement
to a powerful position in single
year of the civil disobedience cam
paign. His retirement would mean
that the extremist revolutionaries
would take control in violent op-
position to the government.
