Your Health
AndProper er
Diet
BY LOGAN CLENDENING,
M. ID.

VI. Ds
Long ago, long before the
war or the depression, when
the millennium was here and
we didn't know it, DR.. Metch'
nikoff, of the PaSteur institute
in Paris, made the announce
ment that in Bulgaria he had
observed that there were an
extraordinary number of old
people. And he aScribed it to
the fact that they drank a
great deal Of goat buttermilk;
he found that this resulted
in the implantation of a
lactic-acid-forming germ in
their large intestines, which he
believed produced fewer poisons
there and kept down the toxins
which caused premature Senil-
ity.
Naturally there was a great
rush to implant Bacillus Bull
garicus in the colons of the
non-Bulgarian inhabitants of
the world. The only trouble
was that it was found extraor-
dinarily hard to do, especially
on a mixed diet. The acid
forming bacilli could not be
permanently implanted in most
human inteStineS.
A few years ago another or
ganiSm somewhat easier to i'm
plant, was discovered. 1t is
called the Bacillus acidophilus
and is introduced into the body
in acidophilus milk. It has
been used with benefit by
many intestinal invalids who
find it reduces gas, bloating,
cramps and promotes regular
excavations.
Large quantities of the milk
are required in order to drive
out the regular bacteria inhabit-
ing the colon and supplant them
with the bacillus acidophilus.
The number of organisms neces-
Sary for effective implantation is
100000, 600 per day. This num-
Der can be grown in a quart of
milk. One or two quarts of
milk a day for six months, is
the proper method of admins
tration.
Acidophilus milk is manufac.
tured by one or two dairies in
most cities now and can be OBJ
tanned in many restaurants and
at many soda fountains. It is
pleasant in taste, not unlike
butterrnilk. Whether it will be
beneficial in any individual case
or not, it is certainly not harm
full.
For those who believe that
their health is being badly af
fected by the absorption of
poisons from the intestines, a
course of acidophiluS milk GER
tainly can be recommended.

How Many Tricks Can Y Win at
No-Trumps? -.

OF course there are various
other ways in which play
might have gone, but nothing
that Alb can do will defeat
the contract, provided Y plays
perfectly. 1t is obvious that
Y always can win three dia-
mond tricks and three club
tricks. To go game he re-
quires one spade trick and two
heart tricks, or two spade
tricks and one heart trick, in
case his adversarieS refuse to
lead hearts.
At the fourth trick, when A
wins a club trick, suppose that
he leads back a diamond; that
can do no good: Y will win the
trick and then he will force
both A and B to discard a
major suit card; dumy will let
go its last diamond. All Y
need do is to lead his King Of
Spades. ABB can take the trick
or refuse to do so. If A wins
the trick and leads back a
spade, Y will win his one re-
quired spade trick and then
lead back his last spade. The
winner of that third spade
trick will have to lead a heart
up to Y's tenace, or If that
winner is B he can lead a
diamond up to Y's tenace in
that suit, so that Y does not
need two heart tricks to go
game. ABB cannot defeat the
contract against perfect play
by Y.

One Test For Love

Over and over again girls ask
me: How can I tell whether
I am really in love?"
It's a sensible question, GER
tainly, for there's a big risk
in marrying so long as a girl
has any doubt as to whether
her love is the real thing.
Well, here is one way OF
knowing:
Suppose the young man who
wants to marry you were about
to be sent by his frim to South
Africa, let us say, or to Brazil
or to Timbuctoo; and that he
would of course expect you to
set sail with him the week
after the wedding, to be gone
for several years.
Do you shrink from that
idea? Does marrying Bill seem
to you pleasant enough so long
as it means living near your
family and friends, going to
the same parties and having
the same kind of house; but
do you begin to shiver and
even grow a little. faint when
you think of following Bill to
uncomfortable places at the
very ends of the earth?
In this case, 1 can assure
you that you are not in love,
and that you would better defer
marriage until the man comes

The Widows Name


Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
A friend of mine is to be
married in early spring. Her
father has been dead for ap-
proximately II years. We have
been having quite a serious dis
cussion about the announce
ments. My friend says that the
announcement should read:
Mrs. Ruth Smith
announces the marriage OF
her daughter
I think that it should read:
Mrs. John Smith
announces the marriage Of her
daughter
Will you kindly tell us which
is correct? CORRlNE.
You are right. No matter
how long a woman has been
a widow, she should use the
same form of formal name that
she used when her husband was
living. Her visiting cards, for
instance, formal details surely,
should read Mrs. John Smith"
and this should be the form
that she uses when she makes
such a formal announcement
as a marriage announcement.
The correct form is:
Mrs. John Allen Smith
has the honor of announcing
the marriage of her daughter

Advice to the LoveIorn
By Beatrice Fairfax

along for whose sake you are
willing to abandon, temporarily,
at least, the familiar little world
you are now a part Of.
Someone may tell you that
mine is a romantic view of
marriage. Yes, and marriage is
a romantic adventure-or it
ought to be.
Suppose courageous, young
Mrs. Lindbergh had been the
kind of girl who distrusted
everything new and everything
foreign; who dreaded danger
and pioneering, and who felt
that she could be happy only
in a safe life in some little
community She had always
known?
If you don't love your suitor
enough to fly to the moon with
him-whenever flying accommo-
dations are provided - don't
marry him.
But If you do love him, and
do marry him, be a good sport.
Don't be afraid of life.
A woman who has expert
enced only a lukewarm love,
and who hasn't had even a
little taste of adventure, had
missed a great deal.
Don't have a familiar, do
mestic rut, or if you have one
snap out of it," as the young
people say. If you are ready
to love, be ready to live also, in
the big sense.
1t is true that in nine cases
out of ten your future husband
will not ask of you the kind
Of sacrifice I have described;
but whatever type of married
life you may be looking for
ward to, you'll need love as the
basis of it. Don't imagine for
a moment that love is a thing
you can do without.

The attractive dress sketched
in the center is tucked within
an inch of it's life! And these
rows upon rows Of tucks almost
look like stripes and add to the
tailored feeling. In fact, you
might suspect this costume was
a suit except for the half-con-
trasting girdle that twists
around the waist! But you
can get more of a "suit look"
if you like, by wearing belt
instead and using this girdle
for a scarf. But it's detach-

When Manners
Are Correct

The Boys Assistance"
7oor NErc pnaolzY1oor.

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Some time ago I asked you
to help me to solve a prob
lem. You answered-but the
other day I COUNT convince my
friends that you told me what
you did tell me. And I had,
in the meantime, lost the clip
ping of your column contain
ing your answer to my ques-
ton. So will you please an
swer it again, so that I may
show your answer to my
friends? This is the question:
When a boy is with two girls,
on which side does the boy
walk? I say the boy should
walk on the outside. My friends
say that the boy walks between
the two girls. SISTER.
We are really right, you and
I, Sister. the boy walking with
two girls walks on the side Of
the pavement nearest the curb.
You see, the whole point about
where the man walks when he
is walking with women on the
street is based on the idea of
protection. If he walks on the
side nearest the street, he is
in the best position to be of
assistance to the girls, if as
sistance is necessary.
But if he walks between the
girls, he will certainly be in the
best position for them to give
him assistance!

Better Not Have Told
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I have been going with
young man for six months and
he seemed to think a good deal
of me. We we're just good
comrades, but no lovemaking or
petting.
The other night he asked me
if I loved him? Swept off my
feet, said: From the first
time I met you" He said
rather coolly, IT was attracted
to you, too" Then he kissed
me and went home. Since that
time, he has never given me a
ring, or come to see me. I am
so distressed! Do you think I
lowered myself in telling him
I cared for him; and, if so,
why did he ask me?
WINNIE.

times that we find it hard to
explain even to ourselves. It
might be that your friend is
