 Your Children
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

ed like elephants and the ele- phants like armadilloes, perhaps; and the dolls were goggle-eyed and rickety, but there they were. old sweaters unraveled, tied in skeins and dipped, were re-knit into all sorts of things.
 Do look about. What are you going to throw away? That car- ton the grocer left? Some color ed gingham pasted over it, @ few doors and windows cut in, and there's your dollhouse. Old silk stockings make swell pussy cats. l can't tell you how now. No room. Can you get a small woo<.en box anywhere? Turn it upside down, nail some sticks on the corners and paint 1t. A tea table for Sally. Yes, you can do 1t. I did. And the children used 1t and loved 1t for years.

 Beautiful arms are symmetrical ly round and full, but not muscu- lar" says Donald Loomis, trainer of Hollywood stars. There's not much a woman can do to improve the shape of her hands However, gripping exercises tend to enlarge them), but if she plans her exer- cises carefully it is quite possible to develop scrawny arms or to re- duce fat ones.
 "A thin arm can be made round and smooth and graceful by exer- cises that are vigorous and con- centrated. The idea is to draw a lot of blood to this portion of the anatomy, to exhaust the muscles as quickly as possible, then to re- lax and give them plenty of time to rest.
 "On the ether hand, repeti- tious exercises, stretched over long periods of time will tear down fatty tissues. In other words, such exercises burn up fat without developing muscle. For instance, a long distance runner who jogs along for great dis tances is thin. But a sprinter, who puts everything into short dash, then rests, is big and muscular.
 A good exercise to develop thin arms bis done with bar bell or some other kind of heavy weight. Lift 1t up and down over the head ten times twice a day for two weeks. Then increase the number of lifts to eighteen.
 ITO reduce fat arms. use free arm exercises with no weights. Swing your arms in circles, moving back and forth, in and out, rapidly, with many repetitions."

QUESTIONS AN DANswERs
Pore to Pimple

Fore to P1mple
 You say there are no pores in the skin, yet we are told that en- larged pores lead to pimples. (Miss H. O.
 Answer-Pores are openings or spaces through which something is absorbed. Nothing is ever absorbed through the skin. It is absurd tc imagine the direction of flow through the sehaceous and sweat glands and their ducts or outlets can be reversed, as certain sub- sidized medical writers and many nostrum makers would have you believe. Send 8 three-cent-stamped envelope bearing your address, for monograph on Blackheads and Pim- ples ,Acne), which tells you how to correct what you call "en- larged pores," blackheads or white heads.

Style Chats

Paris (UP)-Schiaparelli has let some more tricks out of the bag with her mid-season collection which shows a group of new clothes for the lucky people who will spend the greater part of the winter in the south. There are no great changes in the Schiaparelli silhou- cite which continues to accentuate slenderness and height. The normal waistline and the mid-calf skirt length are maintained, for day wear. while in the evening interest cen- ters on the ankles in either the straight, tight skirt or in the skirt which is founced or draped at the hem.
 Ripper fastenings are seen every- where. They are almost invisible in diagonal lines on evening gowns, or they are of bright red in contrast to a green woolen sports suit. zip- pers fasten a double-dutya dress whose back decollete can be dipped up for dinner or dipped down for formal wear. Pockets zip and necks zip, and side fastenings zip, and even shoulder seams are put to- gether by zippers.
 Schiaparelli makes @ "shirt Coat" in white flannel, which is short and swings out in fullness from the shoulders. The same felt is used | in scarlet to make 8 long evening cloak. Materials, as usual, are beautiful and extraordinary. The light suits for the south have printed blouses or are in g solid shade with g brightly colored cock printed on the front of the blouse. Dresses in pastel shades are print ed in black with notes and bars of music, or again with small wild horses running riot in color over the solid background.

The Stacker Heart

adults whose hearts Drs. Harry l. Smith and Frederick A. Williams studied and weighed when the fat folk were through with them hae attained the age of 70 years. The average length of life of these 13t overweight adults was 52.1 years and the oldest one of them was only 75.
 So cut your cake accordingly, my hearties.
 The l36 fattish ones who didn't live long were on the average 45 per cent overweight. Some of them were only 13 to IS per cent toe heavy, one of them was ITO per cent too heavy.
 Their hearts were all more or less fat smothered. That is, excessive deposits of fat under the smooth covering membrane of the heart and smaller masses of fat be. tween the muscle bundles and be. tween the muscle flores of the heart wall. That, of course, han. dicaps the heart of the overweight individual; ex plains the breathless. ness on slight exertion. In part ex. plains the tendency to shorten life
 Once in a great while we hear o some one who has lived to be 2; or 30 years old in spite of over. weight. But these exceptional case! do not seem to impress the hard. headed insurance people. They stil frown on even moderate overweight in an adult over 30 years of age They know the moderaetly stou adult of mature age is not so goo

 Before going farther into the sub- ject of diet, let me classify the var ious kinds of foods that you eat, so that you may know what each type means to your system. From this classification you will be able to req lize better the importance of certain foods for your health.
 First shall discuss the proteins. These are foods that contain car- bon, hydrogen, and oxygen, and frequently nitrogen and sulphur. : The word protein means ito take first place." and the proteins really are first in importance in the struc- ture of our bodies. Every living plant and animal cell contains pro- tein.
 Evidently . great many of the @Iandular principles and substances which control the functions of the body also are protein in character.
 6a
 When the proteins are taken into the body in the form of food, they are broken up into substances called marlino-acidS. These arnino-acids may then be recombined into kinds of protein that you need in your body. Practically every food that you eat contains more than one kind of protein.
 In protein, nitrogen is the chief substance involved in building ma- terial. The living cells of the hu- man body require nitrogen for mak. ing living tissue and for construct ing hormones. The excess nitrogen as passed out of the body by way of the kidney.
 The child requires extra nitrogen, because it is Q growing organism. The adult requires extra nitrogen during athletic training when mus c1es increase in size, after wasting diseases in which the muscles have Co regain material which they have lost, and under similar circum- stances.
 Tho prospective mother requires extra nitrogen to provide material for growth of the unborn child.
 The amino-acids have complicated chemical names which mean little tD the person not trained in chem istry. There are actually 2i of thess amino acids, sometimes three or four of them being combined in var- i1us pg0teln gub1tanccs.
