nishing minerals in a form which we
are able to aSsimilate.
Calcium and phosphorus are used
chiefly to make bones and teeth, iron
is needed especially by the blood.
For children, Of course, the supply
must be adequate, not only to keep
the ever-changing system reinforced
and in good repair, but also to build
and to aid in actual growth. Any
shortage Of these important elements
soon causes trouble in the body.
However, the Bureau assures us,
there need be no shortage. We can
obtain the mineral elements our sys-
TENS demand by choosing the foods
that provide them in the form of
mineral salts or other digestible com.
pounds. Plants use mineral sub
stances which they take direct from
the soil. We eat plants, we eat ami
mails that have eaten plants-thus in
the plant tissues which compose vege-
tables and fruits and in the animal
tissues that furnish meats, poultry
and fish, or in animal products such
as milk, eggs and so forth, we get
these same minerals in forms adapted
to the mechanism of the human sys-
tenn.

foods contain at least a trace of each
important mineral, some are rich in
one or more of the minerals. The
food most useful as source of cal

minerals than others. It requires q

in many foods. and q lot of phosphor-
us which is plentiful in many foods
It requires only little iron. but that
little is hard to acquire because even
the foods called "iron-rich" contain
very little indeed.
"Nutritionists simplify the problem
somewhat when they tell us that if
we make sure Of the calcium and iron,
the phosphorus will take care OF it
self, because it comes in so many foods,
including those rich in calcium or
iron.
Calcium, then, needs special at

sheers. prints and crepes are the ma
terials favored at the moment.
The shops are showing lots of prints
because they are so colorful and catch
the eye Of the window shopper, but
many persons prefer to wear a plain
or dark frock with some new style
points at this time than to burst
forth into bright prints that have
rather famboyant look when worn too
early in the season. OF course. it is
quite all right to buy an attractive
print that appeals to you because of
design or color, and have it in readi-
ness; but it is best to err on the con-
servative side in the matter of wear
ing your print dress, unless it is quite
dark and inconspicuous, and We do
not remember having seen many of
this kind so far.

Overweight
Not Good
For Heart
BY JAMES BARTON, NJ. d.

BY JAMES 0AhLONs Ms H.
IN A group OF 1876 patients. all Of
= whom were overweight, it was found
that although only 10 died as a
direct result of an accumulation OF
fat in and about the heart, this ex-
cess heart fat and the excess of fat
throughout the body was an important
factor in greatly shortening the life
span in most Of the other cases.
DR.. Harry l.. Smith and Frederick
A. WLliuS in Archives Of Internal
Medicine describe their findings of fat
formation in the underlying layer of
tissue of the bag (pericardium) which
surrounds the heart and also in and
about the muscle fibers Of the walls
Of the heart itself. This fat adds q
burden to an already overworked heart
which has to take care of all this
fat and weight of the body.
The expectation of life in obesity
(overweight) Is unfavorable. Only
four of their series of cases attained
the age of 10, the average of the
entire group being 50 years, and their
ages ran from 10 months to IS years.
There were o. females and ~ males.
The least percentage of overweight
was l: per cent, and the greatest
Ito per cent.
The point is that although the fat
actually crowded the heart and inter-
fered to some extent with its activity,
it was the great increase In fat and
weight throughout the body that made
the hearts work SO great. Thus 1t
was found that the heart itself in
creased in size in proportion to the
great increase in weight. When the
body weight remained at certain
point, the heart did not further in
crease IN size.
1.-THE effects then of q great increase
of weight throughout the whole body
in producing weakening effect upon
the heart itself are important. In the
majority OF cases the general increases
in fat over the body is more i'm
portant In weakening the heart than
the effect Of the actual fat In and
about the heart ITSELF"
The thought then is that while an
increase in fat about the heart due
to heavy eating and little or no exer-
else is in itself q danger, the heart
can in the majority Of cases still do
its work despite the fat. But II the
whole body gets too fat, the heart
just can't continue to do the increased
amount Of work necessary to sustain
life. And fat and weight can be re-
duced In every case, and strength
maintained by cutting down on starch
foods, fat foods and all liquids. Meats,
eggs and 1,sh should not reduced.

Continuation of Home
Facial Lessons
Series.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

IN THE first article on the Home
Facial we discussed the Importance
Of choosing wisely and intelligently the
preparations suited to ones individual
skin. Then we covered cleansing and
toning, the preliminary steps in the
home facial.
In the second article we studied the
five distinct kneading and molding
movements used in conjunction with
the application of shnfood, or nourish.
ing cream to the skin.
Today We study the patting move
ments. Patting consists of short, stac-
cato, slapping movements, with press
and life motion included. Always bear
the press and lift in mind; it's never
stretch or pull motion.
An excellent movement to keep the
under-chin firm Is brisk slapping or
patting under the chin with the back
of the hands for several minutes.
Start at center, directly under the
chin, and work around under the con-
tour to the ears. The patting may be
very brisk under the chin, but as the
ears are approached 1t should become
more gentle.
Start at corners of the mouth, use
three fingers and pat up and out for
several seconds. When using the fin-
gers for patting or molding, remember
that the cushion parts Of the finger.
tips are to be used.
Now pat upward on cheek, briskly.
Then more lightly toward the temple.
Repeat several times.
Back at the corners of the mouth,

lily, particularly If there are lines.
Now across cheek.
Now on forehead. First upward on
center of forehead. Then up and
around to temples.
If there are lines or a deep wrinkle
between brows, pat with a whipping
movement and use cream generously.
Now for the eyes. Apply a little
more cream under and over the eyes.
Warm oil and cream mixed in the palm
OF the hand make a softening and
soothing combination. Pat with .
light, gentle movement back and forth

them because they open up their tear

THEN there are the martyr wives
who consider themselves the VIC
tins of some malign and inexplicable
fate because their husbands are indif-
ferent to them, or have strayed of
after some other woman. They have
been such good wives, they tell you.
They have been so domestic. Such
good cooks. So saving. They have
never had a thought except for their
homes and children, and men are
ungrateful beasts not to appreciate
all their wives do for them.
It never occurs to them that the
reason husbands grow neglectful is
because their wives cease to be in
teresting and charming; If they had
fed their husbands on soft talk in
stead of pies they would still be eat
ing out of their hands; or that the
reason that most husbands leave home
Is to find some woman who will listen
to them and give them the jollying

Every now and then I hear some
woman railing at the selfishness Of
people who are better of than she
Is. Why doesn't Mrs. A., who has
that pretty cottage in the country,
lend it to her for the Summer? Why
doesn't Mrs. B., who rides alone in
her big automobile, I'LL 1t up with the
children who never have a chance to
ride? Why doesn't Aunt Susan invite
her to come and bring Johnny and
Susie with her and make nice long
visit?
THE answer is because when you
lend your cottage to your friends
and relatives you have to send for
the painter and the paperhanger, the
electrician and the cleaners to repair
the damage they have done, and it
costs you more than it would to have
sent them to hotel. Because, when
you take innocent little children to
ride In your car they divert themselves
by wiping their feet on the seats,
smearing the upholstery and breaking
up all the gadgets they can lay their
hands on. And when Aunt Susan
asks tired niece and her brood Of un-
disciplined youngsters to spend q
month with her, it leaves Aunt Susan
with nervous prostrat1on herself.

know q woman, for instance, who
is always complaining because she is
not popular. She wonders why she
has only acquaintances while other
women have intimate friends. She
can't understand why she is only in
Nted to big affairs, never to little
ones; why she is left out Of dinner
parties; why no one ever enthuses
over her while they are crazy over that
little Mrs. Smith, who isn't half as
gvod-looking or well dressed or intell-
gent as she Is.
But anybody could tell her that the
reason she isn't popular is because she
is q COW in the social china shop. She
has q genius for saying the wrong
things and generally stroking every
body's fur the wrong way. II any one
has a sore toe, she is bound to tread
on it, and so every one prudently keeps
out Of her way.
A LSO, she is argumentative, and no

more, she spoils every dinner party to
which she is asked by monoponMng
the conversation and never giving any
one else a chance to get q word In
edgewiSe. Hence she is left out.
Then there is the woman who walls
and beats upon her breast, and cries
out that since she has lost her money
all Of her old friends have dropped
her. When she could give fine parties
people flocked around her, but now
that she can no longer afford to enter
tain she Is left alone and this is q
hard and selfish world.
The real reason her friends have
dropped her is not because she has
lost her money, but because she has
become bitter, whining, complaining
bore. She Is nothing but an incarnate
tale Of woe, with no topic Of conver-
sation except her misfortunes. To
spend an hour with her Is just to be
salted down in brine. As most Of us

NEWPORT, Cal. Nov. 81. W.n)---
The record on Billy Papke, one
time middleweight champion of the
world and yesterday greeter in
a saloon, was closed today. Papke,
SO, pudgy and lonely, finished it
last night when he killed his di-
vorced wife and took his own life.
Papke killed Edna Papke, As,

week. Employees at the Jim Flynn
saloon-where sign in the WIN

Billy Papke"-said the old fighter
had been morose and moody for
weeks. Occasionally he muttered
aloud II wish I knew what to do. y
Papke, who had 100 fights, 80 of
which he won by knockouts, is best
remembered for his two meetings
with Stanley Ketchel. In the
first he won the middleweight title
and in the second he dropped it.
Papke claimed the title a year
later when Ketchel was shot to
death at a hunting camp near Con-
way, Mo. In 1912 he knocked out
Georges Carpenter, who years later
was to lose to Jack Dempsey. In
1918 he lost the title to Frank Klaus
