 Healthful Leverage
 Please state which is the most healthful beverage, pure orange juice, pure tomato juice or pure milk. (G. A. J)
 Answer-In particular circum- stances one might be more essen tial than the others. They are all healthful, wholesome.
 Come Sack
 A few months ago you had sev- eral extremely interesting articles on physiological rejuvenescence. I was so busy at the time. .. (Mrs. M. O.
 Answer-Send ten cents coin and stamped envelope bearing your cor rect address. for booklet "The Re- generation Regimen"
 Sterilization
 If a man has the operation to sterilize him, 1t is possible to restore his capacity to become a father by a subsequent operation, provided he is healthy and normal, aged about 3S? (W. H. M
 Answer-If the original operation was the ordinary vasectomy (re- moval of a portion of the seminal duct) surgical repair of the duct would restore his fertility.
 Tomatoes versus Potatoes
 In an article on vitamin deficien- cy you mentioned a diet used by Hindhede and said 1t consisted of eleven pounds of tomatoes with about 1h pounds of Graham bread and about. 5 ounces of oleomar- garin daily. Obviously the eleven pounds was misprint and probably you meant to say potatoes, not to- matces. (E. A
 Answer-No, that is correct. Eleven pounds of tomatoes would yield approximately 1150 calories. Approximately 2h pounds of pota- toes would yield the same number of calories. The dict, adhered to for four days, produces urine hav- ing a high solvent power for uric acid. Hindhede recommended a back to the farm" diet consisting

once you learn to buy shoes which fit perfectly, half of your foot-trou- bles are over. The next step in achieving lovely feet is to begin a regular schedule of grooming treat ments and special exercises.
 To have skin on your feet as smooth and soft as that on your hands and face, turn to your old reliable beauty aid, olive oil Once a week, massage warm olive oil into the skin from toes to ankles. If possible, do this massage at night and allow the oil to stay on until time for the morning shower.
 Once every two weeks, especially if you stand up most of the day and, as a result, often have burning sensation about toes and arches, soak your feet in salt and water, cover them with plain white vaseline or olive oil, put on old, but clean, stockings and wear them while you sleep.
 In addition, do daily foot exer- cises. Holding your legs straight, point your toes downward toward the floor, making ankle muscles stretch and pull. Then point them upward toward your face. Repeat twenty times each. Bend ankles backward and forward rapidly

INHUMANITY IN THE NAME
 OF AMERICA

INHUMANITY IN THE NAME
 OF AMERICA
 A press dispatch recently de- scribed an atrocity perpetrated upon striking relief workers by county officers. Fifty strikers were encamped in the county courthouse. A 17-year-old girl among them twas discovered to have diphtheria." So "fumigation had been ordered" and while dep- uty sheriffs stood guard with tear guns to prevent removal of the fumigation candles the strikers who refused to leave the building (about one-third of the number) coughed and choked in the ecrid fumes, their heads bound with damp clothes and the men, women and children flattened on the floor. Cries of the children were audible to the ring of officers and specta- tors outside.
 Must have been as amusing tothe spectators as lynching or train wreck or other casualty where the alert and eager Yankee bystander has a chance to see torture inflict- ed.
 The newspaper story does not say who ordered the fumigation. Presumably the local health au- thorities. If so, it would be poetic justice to treat those health au- thorities to a good dose of their own medicine. I'd like to touch off candle or two for them to cough and choke on, just as an object lesson for the public.
 There is no justification for such fumlgation Of room or building wherein case of diphtheria or any other contagious or infectious disease has been found. Only where the health authorities are ignorant, superstitious or crooked is the rite of fumigation of premises after con- tagious or infectious disease still practiced. As sanitary or public health measure fumigation has been proved useless and abandoned by all competent health authorities. It is now employed only for the de- struction of rats and other vermin.
 A bootlicking little country vil- lage politician who manages to get appointed health officer likes the sense of importance 1t gives him to go around and raise horrendous stinks on the premises after illness es which still frighten the peas- ants.
 People who have advanced be- yond the third grade at school ought to be able to comprehend the simple facts, first, that disease germs do not survive many minutes in the air or light. and must be quickly transferred from person to person in one way or another in order to produce the disease in the second person. No amount of ster- ilizing or diglnfecting of the walls floors or furniture or articles in the sickroom or the house where q person has been ill of infectloui disease can prevent spread of the disease. or course no antiseptic disinfcctant or germicide which | not dangerously poisonous or fata' t0 human beings will destroy dis. ease. rerms in the body of a iivlnf ! person.

 The custom of eating hot cross buns q hope you follow i) origin ated before Mother Goose ever wrote about them. In very ancient days buns, if properly made, were sup posed to keep for years. They prob ably took the place of a pagan sweetmeat served in honor of Eastre, a Saxon goddess of fertility whose feast was celebrated in the spring. The sign of the cross on the bun proclaimed it a Christian cake. Often the housewife put the sign of the cross on her bread to prevent the evil spirit from interfering with her baking. As Good Friday was considered the most unlucky day of the year, she naturally took every precaution to guard against evil in- fuences.
 Many bakers feature this bread every Friday during the whole Lem ten season, while others save them especially for Good Friday and Easter mornings.
 Because hot cross buns are made with yeast there are, of course two good methods-the long pro- cess and the short one.
 Short Process
 One cup milk, yeast cake, 1-4 cup lukewarm water, 1-3 cup granulated sugar, 3 cups flour, tea spoon salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, IA cup butter, 1 egg, 1-2 cup cur rants.
 Scald milk and cool to lukewarm temperature. Dissolve yeast cake in lukewarm water and add to milk. Add sugar, salt, cinnamon and egg well beaten. Add flour. entrants and softened butter and work until thor oughly blended. Knead to smooth dough and let rise in warm place until double in bulk. The tempera- ture Of this rising should be be- tween 70 and 90 degrees Y. It should take about one hour. Pinch on small pieces and shape in tiny balls. With a sharp knife cut two deep gashes, making a cross. on the top of each. Place in a buttered pan about an inch apart and let rise in . warm place until double in bulk.

 Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

I once knew, still know, . wo- man, who could say the most cruel things with a perfectly frank and friendly smile. After I'd gone to bed the truth would begin. to dawn. There I was, gullible as the cats monkey, thinking she was truly friendly; but midnight took off the sugar. In the dark I could clearly perceive the poi- son.
 We all know people who leave us feeling uncomfortable and de- pressed. We canot analyze it un- less we ourselves are adopts at sparring. Tn that case we become alertly suspicious and readier with our answers. Wouldn't 1t be love- 1y, we think, if we could put Mrs. Judas in her place and settle her hash for once and all?
 Now hate to jump away from this interesting subject and begin to harrangue about the children. But there is Q connection between this firstly" and secondly" and so I'll out with it.
 When Child Mistrusts others 'l
 Some children who seem to give impudent answers to perfectly harmless and friendly remarks, feel inside as suspicious and alert to offense as we do AFTER a few over-doses of our sharp-tongued friends. g,
 While they haven't any occa- . sion to be on the defensive, they can't quite trust anybody. They are sure that everyone is think ing things about them, that they are being critized and ridiculed in some vague way. As a result they can't give an answer that isn't what is known as retort. When Mrs. Jones smiles and says aren't the lilacs pretty, Jack may come right back with, T wasn't taking any lilacs." :"
 The truth motivating the im- pudent comeback, or the quick defense, is inferiority. When boy or girl has little real pride of self, 1t is natural for them to look for unintentional meanings be- hind the most cordial words. A mother is mistaken when she prods her "softy" into answering back and taking his own part while she pats the sassy one and says he has some spirit and some spunk. p
 Better to Be Gullible v.
 VXfkiia ttio x,aau ftt entvrn coa 1t won't fit all, or even the ma-s jority. The quickly-stung child;g the suspicious, overly-sensitives one who carries the chip, is the inferior personality and therefore, at heart a coward. z.
 And by the way-going back to- Mrs. Judas, 1t is better for us to- stay dumb and gullible. The. minute we go about honing our. tongues and cupping our ears fofu insults, we become Don QuixoteS tilting with windmills. And it'A.' far more fun to go swimming. II toughens the skin. We are no greater than the things that an.s noy us. ~
 And by the same token, we. should try to show our children that quick retorts are best left unsaid because they only expose us and show how vulnerable wAs are. = Copyright, 1886, NEA Service, Inc.k of Graham bread, potatoes, milk and fruit as an excellent all around health diet.

Glorityimg Yourself

until your feet feel relaxed in- stead of tense.
 If you have callouses. rub them gently with piece of pum- ice after you have bathed. Mas sage the hard spots with a good foot cream twice day. Use cuticle remover on them when ever you give yourself pedicure.
 Speaking of pedicures, remem- Der that in these days of toeless sandals and the vogue for beach bathing, beautifully groomed toes are as important as well kept fingernails. Even though polish stays on the toenails for a month, sometimes longer, don't forget to use emery board, oil and cuticle remover once a week. Comfortable feet are those which get adequate attention.

which is perfect with tailored clothes, this is one trend most likely to remain popular through the next season. In black or gray felt, blocked as meticulously as the one your husband wears and loves, the Homburg is the kind of bon net which flatters almost any woman.
 OPEN WORK EFFECTS LIKELY TO REMAIN
 Becoming, too, especially to- girls with lovely hair, are the hats with backless crowns or crowns that have open-work,' criss-cross effects at the back. These undoubtedly will be good all spring.
 Advance peeps at spring collections reveal a profusion of hats with no backs at all. One interesting model con- sists of two pieces of straw that come together to form a tricorne effect in the front and two ribbon streamers which tie in a bow at the back and hold the straw on your head. Also new for spring are wax flower trimmings which look more like real blossoms than cloth ones ever did

Of all the milk products, cheese is by far the most important, For centuries 1t has been the chief con Stituent of diet in many countries.
 One pound of cheese usually rep resents the amount of cash and fat that is available in a gallon of average milk, It is valuable con- centrated fod, rich in vitamln A. and particularly rich in calcium and phosphorus.
 The United States consumes be- tween 600,000,000 and 700,000OO0 pounds of cheese annually. That's a little less than five pounds per son, which is much below the con- sumption in Europe; but the amount of cheese eaten in Amer lea is steadily increasing.
 As many as 400 varieties Of chees now are available. Most of the domestic brands come from Wis consin and New York. All come un- der strict supervision of the Food and Drugs Administration, which has established definite standards of quality.
 Probably the most common brand of cheese, in America, is Cheddar, which is the ordinary brick cheese. Then there are also cottage cheese, cream cheese, Neufchatel, Erie, Camembert, Edam, Swiss, Oregon zola, Limburger, Parmesan, Pine apple, Roquefort and Stilton. The differences among these are due to the various cro-organisms which take part in their ripening.
 The materials of importance that cheese has to offer are well utilized by the body. Cheese has had a bad reputation because of the difficulty in digesting it. But it must be re- membered that cheese usually is eaten at hours other than meal time, or at the end of a meal which tn itself may be more than suffl- eient
 If eaten as part of meal and well chewed, cheese is just as di- Restible as most other protein products. Digestion takes place chiefly in the intestincs.

Expect Mannish HOmburg to Stay
BY MARIAN YOUNG

NEW YORK - The hats lN worn by China's coolies, Spain's toreadors and our own American men influence some of the smartest midseason hats. The Chinese, Spanish and mannish trends probably will be gone and forgotten by the time you're ready to buy your Easter outfit, but they are vivid on the February horizon and certainly do their part to brighten up late win ter wardrobes.
 The Chinese models, with pointed crowns and sloping brims, come in felt as well as straw and in bright and med ium pastel shades. Top your mink coat with a brand new emerald green coolie hat and see what happens. Or wear a lobster pink felt with the Hudson seal or Persian lamb and notice how much less dull February sales shopping can be. WELLS ATTAIN
 NEW IMPORTANCE
 For the tall and dashing, Spanish hats of glistening black straw with wells are good. Variations of this in- fluence include the wider brimmed Mexican hats with creased crowns and decora- tions of gayly and decora- tions of gayly colored yarn balls. Wear these with your new printed dress or the old tailored suit.
 Veils are important. In most of the New York and Paris collections they are widely used and vary from the extremely short type which hangs only about one inch from the edge of a sailor brim to the long, flowing va- rieties that slither downward from toques and tricornes. The mannish Homburg with ultra feminine veil tied in a bow at the back is a nice fashion parade.

Styles

New luxury is expressed in
many of the latest afternoon and
informal evening suits. A smart
model is in black broadcloth, the
wide, hip-length cape trimmed
with tuxedo revers and collar of
silver fox. With the black broad.
cloth skirt is worn a caSquin of
white and silver satin brocade.
Lookout for those bulky hipline
fur pockets that mark many of
the new coats and suits, unless
you possess a fairly slender sill
houette, just as the very short
woman should avoid a coat with a
heavy fur border. A straight fur
panel in front is best.
Easy to wear is an evening dress
of black net over a black taffeta
foundation. The slim bodice is
set off by skirt that flares
widely from the knees down, and
is marked by black velvet band
ings. Shoestring shoulder straps
are OF blaCk velvet.
