Aiming to Be Youthful

feet in which will cause premature
aging. Other vitamin B foods are
liver, potatoes, walnuts and peanuts.
There is still much to be done toward
extending and systematizing our
knowledge of the ways iL. which food
can prolong youthfulness and phySi-
cal well-being beyond the usual term.
This is study that is worth watch
ing. It points the way toward a
simple and reasonable method that
any one can use to ward off the raw
ages of Father Time.
Leafy vegetables. milk and milk
products. rye and whole-wheat breads
and fruit provide all the necessary
vitamins and the essential mineral
elements, especially calcium and phos-
phorous. To these should be added
the right proportions of the foods that
are primarily proteins or carbohy-
drates. Of course, different food ele-
ments are found combined in the
same food, but the one that prepon-
derates determines its classification.

Tips on the
Food Market

This week the thrifty housewife
will find that spinach, dandelion
greens and new rhubarb will all be
plentiful and Inexpensive. They are
coming now from nearby gardens
and therefore have a newly delightful
savor.
We are at the peak of the banana
season and they are excellent and
cheap. A rown-speckled banana,
either raw or cooked, is welcome
delicacy.
Fresh pineapples are also at their
best just now. They are delicious
by themselves and in combination
with other fruits or cooked, with
meat. Strawberries are less ex-
pensive and more plentiful. Oranges,
grapefruit and lemons continue to
be good buys. Apples rose little
in price last week.
Butter prices did not decline, as
anticipated, but actually went slightly
higher, as the supplies of foreign
butter we're not sufficient to counter
act the shortage of native butter.
Lamb continues to be the best meat
value just at present. as there has
been no decrease in the population
of sheep as in beef cattle, calves
end pigs.
Broiling and frying chickens are
the best poultry values, though fowl
or stewing chickens and ducks are
moderately priced.
The mackerel fleet is out and
shortly fresh mackerel may be ex-
pected to be plentiful on the market.
Eastern halibut is being landed and
other fish, with the exception of
shrimp, are moderately priced.
Asparagus. carrots, beets, spinach
and the other greens are on the
careful shoppers list. Green beans
are higher, peas, lima beans, cab
bage, new potatoes and onions are
also high. Tomatoes are plentiful
end moderate in price.

Thoughtful Suggestions in Many Fields for the Women Washngo
Fatty Diet
May Cause
Baby's Loss
Loss of Appetite Is
Possible Through
Excess Eaten.
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
WHEN the diet is overloaded with
fats, there is always the posi-
bility that these may spoil the appe-
tite.
Fats are the slowest of the food ele-
ments to digest. The stomach sets up
its unpleasant hunger writings only
when it is empty. Fats, themselves,
or food coated with fat, may take so
long to leave the stomach that hunger
sensations are never suffered. Then
fresh food is eaten when there is no
real desire for it and so the memory
of food (Which is appetite) is apt to
be distasteful rather than pleasant.
Mrs. H. J. G. writes:

Shoe men in Paris say that the
American vogue for calf shoes, which
Is now sweeping Paris, is caused by

left an oversupply Of calf and cow

account by the shoe manufacturers.
Calf shoes are being stressed for

There are two words without which
ones vocabulary is incomplete on the

other is 'palaver.' Chop Is used
either as a noun or verb, and re-
fers either to food or to the act Of
eating. 1t may also refer to whole

site extreme, a divorce trial is known
as woman palaver.'

Some Rules
InGuidance
Of Hostess
BY EMILY POST.

"DEAR MRS. POST: I've often
~ wondered what's to be done
when it is necessary, through no fault
of ours, to omit one of two people
from a party and we happen to be
equally fond of both. For instance:
I'm having a birthday party for my
husband and recently a couple-both
of them equally intimate friends
were divorced. 1t would be most en-
barrassing for both to meet at
small party, and yet my husband
wants the husband and would prefer
to have the wife. Also sometimes
this same situation comes up at an
afternoon party when two women are
bitter enemies and yet both are equally
dear friends of mine"
Answer: Since the party you arc
asking about is your husbands party
it is obvious that you should invite
the husband. If he accepts then that
is the end of it. If he decli4es then
invite the wife. Next time ask her
first and make him your second choice.
This same answer applies to your sec
ond example.
Dear Mrs. Post: I have no home
Of my own, but live with a family
as a paying guest I have no way OF
repaying my friends for their parties
and can not possibly give party
in a hotel and I belong to no clubs.
MY landlady' has suggested that We
give a party together. Do you think
this would work out satisfactorily"
Answer: If your 'landlady' is q
personal friend of yours then yes, but
certainly not otherwise. If her friends
and your friends are not the same, l
would suggest that you make what
ever return you can for kindness
shown you. And don't worry about
what you can't do. After all, your
friend, must know your circumstances.

Front seamiines are a distinct ad-
vantage, for they give opportunities
for flare without canceling the
straight, narrow lines we all like so
much. The treatment in this frock
is Of particular note at the neckline,
where peaks are made to stand out in
the latest up-and-coming manner.
Twin slashes. a few inches down, are
put in so that interesting touches of
color may be drawn through and tied

w YITH Easter approaching so
M rapidly we will be in the
wv midst of another impor-
tant social season almost
before we know it. Very
special Easter parties and all sorts
of affairs for the Spring brides make
new and appealing dinner and eve
ming dresses positive necessities. You
may swish in gay Powered taffeta,
with wide, flared skirt; you may float
along in a billowy cloud of chiffon
with lots of ruffles down the back of
the skirt; or again the crisp silhou-
ette may take the form of thin stiff
fened lace with dainty, gossamer
quality. or you may be quite tailored
in tucked net or in marquisette-all
equally delightful. Both plain colors
and large forals, as we'll as varied
sizes of polka dots will play their
parts in the Springtime festivities
scheduled for after dark.
You won't be able to resist one
of those quilted taffeta raglans in
your favorite color In either white
or black they will look we'll over any
of your evening dresses. But if you
prefer, you may have a full length
wrap of taffeta, which has a still
more formal appearance.
Because pastel lace is so essentially
a Spring fashion we have chosen one
today for sketch. This very charm
ing frock of delicate aqua blue over
a satin slip of the same color has a
very full double-ruffled detachable
cape balanced by a ruff1e at the hem.
The large corsage bouquet is of pale
pink flowers made Of organdy and vel
vet. With the cape removed the for
NAL frock has wide-at-the shoulder
neckline, ruffle trimmed.
IN STRONG contrast is the tailored
dinner frock of navy blue marqui-
sette with collar and cuffs of white

outlined with rhinestones. The elon-

Dorothy Dix Says
"Have You Forgotten How You Lived
Your Own Life?"

RUT the heavy father is no more,
- or, If he does exist, he Is forced
to practice his Nero stuff on mere
babes, for even adolescent children
defy him. He has been killed by the
early financial independence of boys
and girls, who can stand on their
own feet at an incredibly early age,
and who would like nothing better
than for father to shut the door on
them and give them an alibi for set
ting up their own little flats. But,
anyway, you can't contend that
autocracy on one side and slavishness
on the other ever drew parents and
children closely together.
It is a pity that men and women
so completely forget their own youth,
for If they remembered 1t they would
be saved many heartacheS about their
children and would realize that mod
ern youth is no different from what
youth has always been. 1t only ex-
presses itself differently. 1t dances
the rhumba instead Of the quadrille.
It takes its sweetie out in high
powered car instead of behind old
Dobbin. It goes to night clubs in
stead of church sociables. 1t listens
to the radio instead of the parlor
melodeon.
RUT it is boy-and-girl crazy and
- pleasure mad, just as it always
has been. It is lazy and selfish, just
as it always has been. It no more
listens to the voice of wisdom than
we old ones did. And our parents
and grandparents said exactly the
same things about our goings-on
when we were young that we say
about the behavior Of the present gen.
Grafton. Yet the country didn't go
to the dogs as they prophesied 1t
would when 1t got into our hands,
and most of us developed into fairly
decent citizens.
So I would say to the parents who
lament that they are separated from
their children by modern life: Be Of
good cheer. They are only taking
their road in life as you took yours.
There is nothing wrong with it. It
is only q new route, but it leads to
the same journeys end. All you can
do is to keep within telephoning dis
tance of the youngSter and shout
encouragement to him from time to
time, and pray God for a happy
landing. DOROTHY DIX.

Heart Help
ByRenoval
Of Thyroid
BY JAMES w. BARTON, M. d.

VENTY- FIVE patients with
chronic heart disease were select
ed as suitable cases in which to re-
move the entire thryoid gland in the
neck in an attempt to rid them of
their heart symptoms.
Most of the patients were chronic
invalids confined to bed or to chair
existence. Others of these IS patients
suffered congestive heart failure when
they undertook any effort, or showed
signs of angina pectoris Obreast pang,
or tightness under the breast bone)
when they were at rest or on slight
eXertion.
All the patients had been absolute
invalids for long periods in spite of
having received all available medical
treatment.
You can readily see that these were
practically all hopeless cases in which
everything possible from the rest and
medical standpoint had been done
without success.
1t was therefore decided by Drs. H.
l.. Blumgart, D. D. Berlin, David
Davis, j. E. F. Riseman and A. A.
Weinstein of the Beth Israel Hospital,
Boston, to remove the whole of the
thyroid gland as a means of quieting
or resting these hearts, as the juice
Of the thyroid increases the rate of

Gently recorded in the Journal of the
American Medical Association.
AS these were all cases with very
severe symptoms, it was not hard to
notice any improvement in their con-
dition, such as less swelling of the
feet, disappearance of breathlessness,
able to walk or take light exercise
without getting out of breath and
other symptoms denoting heart failure.
Twenty-four of these patients have
so far recovered that for the first time
in months to years they are up and

fort and without temperance Of the
signs and symptoms of congestive

was quite pronounced in rs. Since
the operation Of these patients have
had no attacks of angina pectoris in
spite of being around on their feet,
have had great relief and were
entirely free of angina pectoris before
the attacks returned.
This is a wonderful achievement
whens we think Of the hopeless con-
dition of these patients before opera
tion, but these physicians state that
patients must be carefully selected,
must have normal thyroid glands,
must be carefully supervised before,
during and after operation II the risks
of operation are to be reduced and the
patients are to receive the fullest pos
sible benefit.
