back from that side of the cup until
you come just to the point where you

ment let your friend gently pour water

Without moving your head at all, you

Hot air over desert may form such

my dear Mrs. Post: For 10 years
now we have had the same tenants In
house we own next door, For the
last few Christmases We have given
them all gifts. although nothing elabo-
rate. The oldest two daughters stay
at home and do the housework. and 80
this year we thought that two pretty
aprons apiece would be practical. Sew
eral hours after we sent over the boxes
the two girls brought theirs back and
said they did not care for the aprons
as they had no use for them. Their
action shocked us ALL What did we do
that was wrong? What would you do
in our placer"
Answer-You did nothing that was
wrong; think your presents entirely
kind and the two girls lacking in the
first principles of decent behavior
There IS. however, nothing that you
can do about it except to treat them
with politeness whenever you meet But
would certainly give them nothing
whatever in the future. If you choose
to remember the more courteous mem
bers of the family, that is, Of course. a
matter Of your own inclination. I'm
afraid that would be inclined to cross
of the entire family next door" on
my Christmas lists for good.

shows that like all other tissues Of the
body teeth require nourishment and
that the teeth are furnished through
blood vessels and lymph with the es-
sential food. Any disturbance in nu-
triton may affect the teeth as 1t does
other organs of the body.
When nutrition Of the body is good,
the teeth are apparently furnished with
buffer substance which enables them
to resist the onslaught Of Tactic acid,
which, formed in the mouth, Is prob
ably cause of decay. Lactic acid is
formed from carbohydrate and
sugar-which remains between the
teeth and around the gums after meals.
For this reason it is still important to
keep teeth, gums and all mouth surfaces
clean. This acid Is evidently neutral
lied by the mineral salts furnished by
the dental LYMPH" which also helps
to complete the calcifcation of young
teeth.
DR.. Percy Howe of Boston, who has
been conducting research upon the SUBJ
Ject OF tooth decay for many years, has
found that liberal amount Of mineral
salts and the vitamins c, A and D are
the essentials in the diet to protect
teeth from decay. He finds that the A
as well as the D vitamin has specific
effect on the formation of the teeth.
He feels that raw green vegetables and
fruits, high in vitamin c, are protec-
tive. DR.. Howe feels that there is
surely something the matter with our
modern diet, and that tooth decay Is
product of civilization.
DR.. Henry Sherman, professor Of nu-
triton at Columbia University, agrees
with DIR. Howe as to the Importance of
vitamins in the formation and protec-
ton OF teeth. He made tho point of
the necessity Of the supply of both cal
cium and phosphorus in relatively large
quantities, both to the mother before
the birth of the child and throughout
childhood and adolescence.
As the Qualification of the teeth is not
complete until about the twentieth year,
vitamin D Is the "mobilizing" factor in
the use Of these mineral salts, which,
however, must be supplied In liberal
amounts. Experimental work with chill
dren done under the direction of DR..
Sherman and DR.. Hawley covers a long
period of time and shows that a quart
of milk day is needed by child for
the amount of calcium needed by the
growing body.
All the speakers who discussed dental
nutrition agreed that tooth decay was

II the bidding goes-one heart by

for hearts and no other resource. Opener

Therefore, If you wish to play for game
in hearts, you must bid four hearts at
this point. You must allow your part

first suit, as the safety Of the hand is
now assured in the first suit. to which

bid three no trumps. four hearts or four
spades. Your spades may be, for him,
the key to safe three no trump con-
tract; allow him the selection; do not
jump beyond the three range to four
hearts or spades unless you mean to
consign the hand to four hearts and
can stand no other game contract. -Four
spades by you would be a mild slam
try, showing not more than one ex-
pected loser in the other two suits. The
three-spade response would be a vir-
tual command to partner not to pass
1t definitely shows a four-card spade
support. With five hearts and four
nearly solid spades, the opener may pre-
fer the spades for trumps. as then the
heart suit will give him the discard Of
a loser in dummy. Give some scope for
q decision Of this kind.

MYRTLE WARBLER,

this one is the easiest to re-
remember. He has patches
" of yellow on his crown, lower
back and sides Of his breast.
He arrives in the Spring and remains
until Autumn, and in mild climates re-
mains all Winter. Further, he travels
in great flocks and, though he Is rest
less and forever fitting about, he soon
becomes familiar to you.
In the Summer his attire is blush
gray, streaked with black, under parts
white, black and yellow. These are his
wedding clothes, very jaunty indeed.
His Winter costume is grayish brown,
under parts brownish white with black
streaks, and his bright yellow spots,
that were so clearly seen in the Spring,
have dwindled down to one on the
lower back.
After a sojourn in the South. even
as far as the tropics, these birds select
Minnesota, Northern New England and
Northern Ohio for the birthplace OF
their children. Damp places appeal to
them and the home is built in conf
fer tree, few feet from the ground.
It is a slipshod affair at best, bulky
and poorly planned. The outside Is
made of hemlock twigs, vegetable fibers,
grasses and spruce needles. The in
side has a feather lining. Three to
five dull white eggs. splashed with
brown, lavender and dark purple, rest
on the feather mattress. Sometimes
the colors are arranged in a wreath
about the larger end of the egg.
In the North the bayberry and myrtle
seeds are greatly esteemed and, when
mixed with insects and tasty grubs, the
myrtle warblers wax fat and saucy.
They have f1ycatcher habit Of chas-
ing a flying insect. The warbler is
not so quick as the flycatcher, but he
Is not so bad at that
The warblers are fearless, bold and
friendly. They have timid little

from China that the fashion for drink
ing tea came, and Chinese teas, espe-
cially such kinds as Chinese jas
mine, smoky Ssu-chuan, etc. are
famous. 1t is well to remember that
Chinese tea is light-colored, even when
strong. In England the custom still
prevails of asking whether you will
have Chinese tea or other tea. So the
very name, Chinese tea. suggests the
land of fascinating pagodas. A pagoda
appliqued on each end of a table
runner or tea-tray cloth, or one of the
pagoda designs in each corner of a tea
table cover is smart and in the very
height of style. Let me also recon-
mend it for tea coZy decoration.
A sofa cushion requires but one OF
these good sized patterns appliqued on
it to lend sufficient decoration. A
quaint cushion top is made of Chinese
crepe in characteristic dull yellow with
the applique of finely checked blue and
white gingham or finely sprigged
blue -and-white chintZ. About IL
inches from the pillow-cover edge, put
a three-quarter or one-inch band of
the glngham or sprigged chintz. A
soft cushion of this new kind makes a
wonderful bridge prize. and the cost Is
small when the cushion is filled with
floss or some substitute for feathers.

II N1ETIE dIG very lew pGOplC wiz,
even though they take consider
able exercise, give enough at
i tention to the abdominal walls.
The muscles of this part of the
body must be kept strong and
supple if the abdominal organs are to
be maintained in proper position.
! On account of our upright position
and manner of walking there is need of
attention to the abdominal region and
to the muscles. Any one who devotes
a few minutes each day to the follow
ing exercises will be well repaid.
The keynote of these special exercises
that I shall describe is the position in
which they are taken. When the body
is lying on a slant with the head lower
than the feet the force of gravity causes
all the organs to drop back into normal
position; then, while they are in this
position, the muscles are exercised mod
erately and this creates a tendency for
them to develop in such way as to
maintain the organs in normal position
even after the upright posture has been
resumed. To further facilitate these
effects it Is well to sleep with the foot
of the bed somewhat elevated about the
height of a brick or two blocks of the
same size, or at least to assume slant
ing position for about five minutes be-
fore going to bed The exercises are
not hard, so do not strain or overexert
in any way.
: Exercise l. Place an ironing board or
a board the width of the body with a
footstool at the foot of it. On this
gravity board" lie face downward, rest
ing elbows, hips and toes on the board.
Now raise the hips as high as possible,

exercise for the back, hips and abdo-
men.
