which q pathetic story Is told. The
animal seemed to have premonition
of his mistress approaching end; he
crept out as she passed the scaffold,
and, as she laid her head on the block,
whined piteouSly and snuggled into the
folds of her black gown. Afterward
he gradually pined away.

simple envelope type.
And with a dressier costume,
a more formal bag, decorated
with some interesting orna-
ment, clasp or monogram.
Scarfs for . Bright Touch
scarfs have never been as
important as they are this sea-
son. You wear them with col.
larless coats and collarless suits,
or with coats and suits that
have very narrow collars.
They're almost as much a part
of the smart costume as the
gloves or handbag.
Many kinds are fashionable.
Neat, tailored cravats. Soft
silks to be tied in soft bows.
Crisp silks to be tied in crisp
bows.
And the bow goes almost any
place at all. Square in the
front, at either side of the front
or even way around by the ear.
You can tuck their ends in
side the coat or let them drop
outside. You can wear long
scarfs or short scarfs. The
main thing is to wear some
kind of scarf with your Easter
costume-unless the suit or
coat has an important looking
collar of it's own.

DIET AND HEALTH
BY DIR. Logan Clendening-

Lead poisoning was once q
common and serious disease.
Called painters collie" it now
rarely affects painters. Proven.
tive measures introduced into
the painting trades and the re-
duction Of the use Of lead in
commercial paints have been re-
sponSible for this. It is more
frequently seen in the wards Of
a general hospital among auto
mobile battery mechanics than
any other trade at present. Z
Lead poisoning causes abdomi-
nal cramps, paralysis, blood
changes, abnormal mental
states and gout.
Absorption Of Lead
Lead, can be absorbed into
the body by the digestive tract,
by absorption through the skin,
by breathing it in, and absorp-

NEW YORK-Right noW's a
good time to look to your &C
ceSsories in preparation for
Easter. And Of course a smart
Easter costume is only as smart
as It's accessories.
Gloves Are Important
New lengths are necessary
this Easter. Six-button gloves
to wear with long sleeves.
Eight-button gloves to wear
with three-quarter sleeves.
Twelve-button gloves to wear
with elbow or shorter sleeves.
Long enough to wrinkle in the
way that's smart.
You'll need the new shades
of beige to wear with black
and the new blue costumes. Or
the slick new white gloves with
YOUR new black coat trimmed
with white fur. Or the new
brown with a beige costume.
The right glove color is a big
step toward smartness.
Lighter Stockings Used
Winters stocking colors are
iust q bit dark for springs
costumes. To wear with fash
ionable beige costumes, it's the
slightly lighter, neutral beige
stockings that faShion-knowing
women are choosing. And the
same beige goes we'll with
prints that have light back
grounds.
For navy blue and black cos
TUNES. try the lighter shades
of taupe or a taupe with a
rnauve cast. And with a brown
costume, or a print on q brown
background, beige with a brown
look to it makes a fine ensem-

Handbags 20 Match Goats
Coat or suit-whichever you
wear on Easter-you'n want
your handbag to match. Un-
less, Of course, you're wearing
contrasting accessories, such
as brown gloves and hat and
belt with q beige coat. Then,
of course, the smart thing to
do would be to carry a brown
handbag.

oped lead poisoning. Investiga-
ton disclosed that the paint on
the kindling deposited lead on
the under crust Of the bread.
Dairyman Is Poisoned
A dairyman whose water sup
ply was neither pumped nor
piped through lead pipes, &C
quired lead poisoning. It was
found he drank home brew,
made by himself, and cleaned
his beer bottles by shaking lead
shot in them.
This reminds me Of the
early descriptions of lead poison
ing. 1t was called "Devonshire
collie" and seemed to be asso-
ciated with the cider made in
the county of Devon, England.
The cause was pointed out by
George Baker, who noted that
large pieces Of lead were put
into the cider vats (for what
purpose-stirring or mixing--1
do not know. He extracted
lead from the Devon cider and
showed there was none in the
cider of Herefordshire. He was
denounced as not a 100 per
cent Devonshire man by his
neighbors, but they took the
lead from their cider just the
same, and so banished the
collie.

Men and women, as a rule,
take on weight as they reach
middle age. It is because they
are more and more inclined to
take life easy, to avoid hard,
muscular exercise. With some

continued physical education
any woman, unless cursed WITH
hereditary obesity, should be
able to retain not only the slen.
