EE YOUR
 CHILDREN

Appetite is caused by the stomach contracting in a sort of rhythm called peristalsis. The involuntary muscles of the outer walls of this aiimentary bag begin to churn and beg for something to work on. The gastric juice be- gins to seep out of its little cells at the thought of food, just as sal iva. flows into the mouth when a person is hungry. If there Is no peristalsis there is no appetite.
 But often at meal time there is no message from the stomach, for the very good reason that it is all ready busy. There is something else in it to work on. It needs nothing more at the moment and there is no urge to cat.
 The owner sits down to a tempt ing feast, perhaps served in lovely style, consisting of his favorite dishes, but he waits in vain for that beautiful urge to devour. He just isn't hungry.
 Just Glass of Milk
 He thinks he's sick. No, he feels fine, but he just doesn't want food. Strange! He ate his break last with gusto. And he never had another thing except that at 5:30 he was thirsty and stopped at a stand for a simple glass of milk.
 After an almost untouched din- ner he goes and gets some digest i've tablets and his stomach laughs itself to death. Two hours later he is ravenous. Those are fine tablets," he thinks. Out he goes to a restaurant and orders steak and onions.
 If he knew the truth, it would be about that milk. Not that it wasn't a very good thing, but not at the moment. He drank it only an hour before his dinner, not knowing that milk is deliber- ate and slow digester. It has to turn into soft curd and this takes time. The stomach, being busy, doesn't send up it's message to the palate as usual for more food. When it was thruogh with it's little job on that one glass of milk it was quite ready for its real and customary fodder. Thus the later appetite. The tablets were not needed.
 Children the Same And so with children. Many do not eat enough at meal time to keep them happy until the next meal. They are given little snack of something to help them hold out, especially when there is d long wait. This something is as often as not glass of milk, an hour or half an hour before meals. What happens is exactly the same as happened to our gentle man friend. And the mother won- ders if Johnny is taking down sick.
 Give him milk by all means, but time it so the stomach will be ready to receive new, food. If near meal time, little fruit juice or fruit will clear out more quick ly. Milk with a meal is all right Ice cream probably does the same thing. Added to the milk or cream is the sugar and sweets be- fore a meal do put an end to ap- petite. But don think that chil. dren do not need sugar. Except in very, very few cases, they do. They burn it up in energy.

and what vocation to choose would be much wiser if they should se- cure the help of a wise vocational and educational psychologist to help them do their thinking.
 S.--On the average they are equal. Georgina Strickland Gates, of Barnard College, Columbia Uni- versity, tried out a group or 45S boys and girls from to 14 in judging emotions shown in spe- cially posed photographs illustra- tins fear, mirth, pain, anger, scorn and surprise. The boys and girls were equal on all the tests except that the boys outdid the girls in correctly interpreting the phcto- graph which showed fear. Dr H. A. Moss, of George Washington University, has tried the same ex- pertinent with over 1000 adult snen and women and finds no dif- ference in their capacity to judge the other fellows thoughts and emotions.

A correspondent says that he drank milk by the quart under the supervision of my learned colleag- ues, yea, by the gallon, in a futile attempt to gain weight, but his weight did not increase. However, since repeal he has been drink ing about a quart of beer day and he now weighs about what a man of his age, height and political faith should weigh. He has gained 23 pounds since he switched from milk to beer.
 Another sophisticated layman assures me that ony one who wish es to reduce can lose weight rap idly by just eating lot of lemons.
 First let us dispose of the beer and then the lemons.
 As I have explained here several times, a pint of beer yields 240 calories if we assume that all the alcohol in it is oXidized in the body and utilized in place of food to provide heat or energy. Certainly if an odor of alcohol or aldehyde is perceptible on the breath of an individual who has taken a pint of beer, not all the alcohol has been utilized by the body in place of food. But granting that the correspondent who thinks he grew fat on a quart of beer a day is capable of oxidizing the ounce of alcohol in that much beer, he gets only 4S0 calories a day from the beer. He could get 4S0 calories from only 1 1-2 pints of milk ol from half pint of cream, or from a moderate helping of pan- cakes with syrup or from a nut fudge sundae, any of which would be easier for an individual with a normal capacity to take than a quart of fluid.
 In fairness we must credit the beer with increasing appetite, in some individuals. This stimulation of appetite may have caused our friend to take more food than he would have taken ordinarily, and that, of course, would bring about gain in weight. Beer doesn't have this effect in every instance, how ever. In many instances it appears that the drinking of a glass of beer at or near mealtimes rather destroys the normal appetite so that less food is taken than the DodS liScuS to uSdllu anu vigor.
 In the earlier stage of cirrhosis of the liver many heavy drinkers have appeared bloated if not bloated, waterlogged condition was healthily fat, and no doubt this assumed to be fat and the assump- tion led to the popular fallacy that beer is tonic and fattening.
 AS for the notion that lemons cause reduction, that is too silly to consider seriously. Lemons yield 205 calories to the pound com pared with oranges which yield 240 calories or boiled potatoes which yield 440 calories per pound. The vitamins and minerals in orange or lemon might help to prevent craving which makes so many break training" when try ing to reduce. It has been plaus- ibly suggested that the deficiency of minerals and vitamins in our customary dietary is responsible for the craving which makes us eat too much and grow fat. In actual practice, however, orange or orange juice proves more effec- tive than lemon juice or grape fruit juice in rational reduction regimen.

above the ground. Does that fact make it unhealthy? (Mrs. A. H.)
 Answer-No. Even if living rooms or sleeping rooms seem damp, that isn't injurious to health.
 Milk for Babies.
 A layman who writes and sells books on health says milk is not a proper food for elderly persons, but good for children, as it is a boen builder. L. l.. Al
 Answcr-1f an elderly person likes milk, it is of course an ex- cellent food. Perhaps it is true to say milk is more essential for in- fants than it is for mature adults. Older folk should use all dairy products freely.

Professor Lowe handed the pack age to Amy. There are your knit ting things" he said. T hope they're right. I've taken rooms in a hotel at the next corner and-and I've seen Jane."
 Amy stiffened to attention. What did she say?"
 Tt was all very peculiar-but. on the whole, satisfactory. She dealt with me as if were a--a somewhat repugnant stranger. I was-at first--quite at loss, and then. could only take my cue from her. The upshot was that I have sub-let this apartment from her for as long as we need it, and also arranged to take over her servants, and am to reimburse her for expenses already incurred in connection with Towards ill., ness. It fact she suggested that l give her check for them at once-and l did so. In this way we are quite independent of her, you see. We are accepting no favors. The price she asked seemed to me grasping, but I preferred to pay it. I certainly couldn't bar gain"
 Its all exactly like Jane," thought Amy, with seorn. Aloud she said: "I'm glad you're under no obligation"
 Professor Lowe went on: But we mustn't let this be known in Marburg. Rosa Terry would be humiliated to the soul to discover that her niece had made money. out of the misfortune of her friends. I myself was ashamed for Jane. Well--there it is! We won't talk about it any more. Now, my dear, suppose we go to the hotel, bathe, change our clothing and be back here when the doctor comes in again."
 Beore Amy would go she crept down the hall to the sickroom. One of the nurses came to the door. He's no worse. There's no change" she said. but she would not let Amy look at Howard again. Sorry. Nnot unless the doctors with you" x
 It was the longest night that Amy had ever known. She sat in the living her hands busy with knitting, her thoughts mov- ing still more swiftly. Professor Lowe was on the couch and Amy, looking at him from time to time, could almost have smiled at the contrast of his austere scholars head against that exotic back ground. But Amy was thinking of Howard, her thoughts surrounding him, begging him to stay with her, telling him that he must not. must not leave her. She believed that he would feel her near him. and though unconscious, he would an- swer her.

Two-piece dresses and suits that can be worn on cool days in the summer and carried right on into the fall are made of chardonize yarn. This is a durable material which is not expensive. In its rough surface and dull lustre it resembles boucle, only it will not lose its shape and bulge in the wrong spots after a few wearings. There are many days in the summer, particu- larly in the country, when it is cool enough to wear dresses of this weight. And they will see you right through the early fall in town.

 YOURSELF.

"Why, my dear, what on earth has happened to you? positively didn't recognize youI You look at least ten years younger than when saw you last"
 Have you ever heard one friend say that to another? And usual- ly, if you investigate, you will find that what has happened to the one who looks ten years younger is nothing more nor less than that something has made her happier than she was. It may be that she has fallen in love, or contracted c happy marriage. Or she may have succeeded suddenly in her work.
 Give Up Fretting
 Or better still, she may have learned the lesson that we all need to learn-how to extract a measure of contentment from whatever life offers.
 If you want to look prettier, younger and healthier, set your mind on happiness. Resolve that you will give up fretting over tri- fies that you can't do anything about.
 No matter how busy you may be, set aside a little time every day for some pursuit that really gives you pleasure-reading playing the piano, looking at beautiful pictures, even cooking if that's what you like and never get a chance to do.
 Worry Makes Lines
 Steel yourself to make decisions and keep to them without regret. Many facial lines are caused by va- cillating worry over whether or not you've done the right thing. You've done all you can do when you've done your best, and worry won't mend mistakes anyway. Practice laughing, or at least smiling. Learn to see, take and tell a joke. Don't brood, and if your feelings have been hurt, go to the person who did it and talk your grievance out. That will clear the air and also your com plexion. Not to speak of what it will do to brighten your eyes and beautify your expression. |

 the garden or at the bridge table, cool drink served as if by magic is the aim of the summer host ess.
 When preparing drinks for eX- pected guests the fruit juices and syrup can be mixed hours before wanted and kept in the refrigera- tor The tray and glasses and cookies or sandwiches can be ar ranged so that the last-minute eff fort creates little stir of prepara- tion.
 But when the chance guest drops in and quick and appar- ently effortless bit of refreshment is wanted the hostess who is total ly without preparation is out of luck.
 To this end the foresightNl home e-maker keeps a few simple experiences in her refrigerator. A jar of sugar syrup, bottle of chocolate syrup and one or two varieties of fruit juices make 1t possible to concoct delicious bever- ages with regular soda fountain speed.
 Another secret is making quick iced drinks is in using finely clipped ice. Less water is used when making the beverage because the fine ice melts and dilutes the drink as it chills it. Sugar Syrup
 To make sugar syrup put one cup of granulated sugar and one half cup water into smooth sauce pan. Put over medium heat and bring to the boiling point. Cover and let boil five minutes. One or two tablespoons of this syrup to glass will make the av- craze drink sweet enough. Two | tablespoons grated lemon rind can be cooked With the syrup. Strain before bottling. This lemon syrnp is especially good with iced tea or fruit punch.
 Beca1se fruit juices go consid- into syrup you will want to have |, erably further if they are made a concentrated lemon syrup among your refrigerator supplies.
 Lemon Syrup
 This concentrated syrup can be diluted and used with iced tea for tea punch or charged with water for lemon fizz. Two table. SpoOlllulS Io SldSS ol lCS water makes lemonade. Or you can use it with other fruit juices to make delicious fruit punch.
 Two cups sugar, l cup water, 2 cups lemon juice. Make a syrup of sugar and wa ter and add the thinly sliced rind of two lemons. Bring to the boil ing point and simmer five minutes. Strain and cool. Add lemon juice and pour into bottles.
 A sprig of mint adds a delight full flavor to many cold drinks. There are two attractive ways to use mint. One is to put a bunch of fine carefully washed mint in the pitcher and pour the beverage through the leaves into the glasses. Another way is to put a sprig of fine mint in each glass and pour the beverage onto it.

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
ABSENTEE BALLOT MUST GO

Certainly there has been sufficient evidence to
convince almost every obsewant citizen OF North
Carolina that it is imperative that the absentee
ballot law should be repealed.
Unless the dominant political party of this state
does something at the next session Of the general
assembly to correct the evil. eventually the organ
ization will pay heavy penalty as consequence
of the growing revolt among the people.
1t is not fair to the young voters, stepping into
citizenship. to find themselves Immediately dislIIu-
stoned and have their Democratic ideals warped
as 4 consequence of what they see going on III!
about them.
The disclosures resulting from Investigations III
Alexander, Wilkes and Polk counties are disgust
ingIy bad However. it is a fact which cannot be
disputed that such frauds as apparently were prac-
ticed there are not as nsidOus in i'll effects a
those which are generally resorted to by political
Workers in certain precincts in practically every
county throughout North Carolina, as conse-
ouence of practices in the voting Of absentee bal
lots.
1t is fortunate that the press of the state is be-
coming aroused to more and more inSistent de-
mand for reform, as herewith shown in the fol-
lowing from the Winston-Salem Journal:
"The most serious defect now existing in our
election set-up is the absentee ballot law. This
has been amply demonstrated in the recent nves-
LEGATIONS by the state board of elections In Polk
county it was discovered that in one precinct the
absentee ballot vote was double the ordinary vote
1t was also revealed, according to news dispatches
that dead persons and individuals who were bona
fide residents of other states, cast ballots by the
absentee route.
''Such methods of conducting primary or cleo
ton contests are obviously beyond contempt. BIT
expressing our indignation over such conditions
will amount to little unless we translate it into
determined action. The people Of this state have
right to demand in no uncertain tones that the
absentee ballot law be repealed before the 1886
elections are held. The principle of honesty IN
government requires that this loophole in the
election machinery, created by the desire to give
the soldiers in the World war chance to vote,
be stricken from the statutes at the earliest pos
sible opportunity
"The people can make themselves heard on this
question by carrying it din ecty to the members of
| the next general assembly. They should sound out
the attitude of candidates to the assembly the
issue. progressive state cannot tolerate the evils
caused by the absentee ballot law."-The Hickory
