The early spinach crop is pro-
ducing deliciously tender stalks and
leaves, rich In green coloring, and
full Of vitamins. iron, and SO on.
Peas seem to be sweeter and brighter
green than ever this year, most Of
them coming from California, Mis-
sissippi and Florida. A record crop
Of tomatoes Is indicated In the near
future, although 80 far the shipments
have been less than they were ut
this time last year.
Young beets from Texas, baby
carrots from Arizona, all kinds
of greens from many States are
coming to our markets every day.
All of these new" crops are especially
fresh and wholesome looking. and. Of
course. chock- full Of the food compo-
nents so necessary to our physical
well being. Tempting as this wealth
of vegetables is, the bureau warns.
selection should not be haphazard.
They should be chosen by pattern
which will provide the necessary
combination Of food values for a
good diet. To this end, the vegeta-
bles should be classified. and the
housekeeper should bear this CLASH
fication In mind when she goes to
do her marketing.
For instance, there are the starchy
vegetables-potatoes, sweet potatoes.
corn, and dried beans and peas.
Less starchy than these. but still
under the general grouping, are the
green's. asparagus. broccoli, cabbage,
eggplant and tomatoes. Next come
green beans. peas. beets, carrots. tur-
nips, onions, okra, and so on.
Greens particularly are noted for
their mineral content. They also have
plenty Of vitamins to offer.
THE llow-fleshed vegetables, such
L as sweet potatoes. carrots, yellow
corn, yellow turnips. yellow tomatoes
are good sources Of both vitamins
A and c. Nearly all vegetables fur
nLsh vitamin B, and many Of them
vitamin G also.
Guided by these general classical
lions, it should be easy to plan meal
that will take most of the vegetables
included. For instance, with one Of the
starchiest vegetables. such as pota-
toes or corn, choose another farthest
down the line in starch content
beans, or okra. for instance. Medium
starchy vegetables might perhaps bs
chosen entirely for one meal. and thu
balance between the very starchy anc
the least starchy for another.
And don't forget that large number
of the vegetables are . great dea
better when eaten raw than wher
they are cooked-try a raw vegetable
salad some day, and enjoy a brand
new taste sensation. Raw spinach
raw cauliflower, carrots, cabbage

Keep Spine
Supple for
Youths Sake
Stiff Backbone Is Def
mite Sign of
Age.
BY ELSIE PIERCE,

NEVER take the words keep .
stiff backbone" literally. It is
only a figure Of speech. It applies
to mental courage. It means don't
swerve from your purpose. But as
applied TO physical movements "a
stiff backbone" Is q sign Of age, far
more of a give-away than gray hair
or double chin.
Keep your spine straight. BY all
means. But not stiff. If your posture
is right, your spine is bound to be
straight. Or. rather, the other way
'round-if your spine is straight, your
posture is sure to be right. Think Of
your spine as a perfectly straight line
from the base of your neck to the
spine's end at the back. Stra1ghten

lordosis curve, if you have one, dis

itself in and under. the chest lifts up.

spine straight.
And having learned how to stand
with your spine straight, the next
thing to learn is how to move grace

ponds largely upon freedom from

joints. They're all one family, ever
so closely related. I'll show you how:
The thigh, leg and hip bone are con-
nected with the spine by the pelvic
arch; the arms, shoulders and ribs,
too, and the skull which houses your
brain is connected with the spine at
the neck.
Young things keep their spines fiex-
ible by exercise. They play golf and
tennis, they dance, they play ball and
they play tag; they move easily, swift
ly and without thinking about it. That
must be it-not thinking about it.
Women who do housework, who go
about their million little duties and
like them, are bound to move easily
and their work and their moving about

Vertigo Not
Caused by
Weak
AS a Rule-Often Due
To Ear or Liver
Trouble.
BY JAMES W. BARTON, M. d.

BY JAMES w. BARTON, NJ. ID.
WHEN an attack Of dizziness &C.
ours there IS often the feeling on
the part Of the patient that there is
something wrong with his. heart. AS
a matter of fact. most cases of dizzi-
ness come from disturbance in
the ear or in the liver. Generally
but not always when the objects
about the patient seem to be going
around and around" or the patient
himself seems to be going around
and around, the trouble is in the car,
whereas when things appear to be go
ing up and down or the patient feels
that he is going up and down the
liver is at fault.
When the ear is at fault-that Is,
the part of the ear that balances" the
body-it Is very often due to some
trouble in the nose and the sinuses
adjoining the nose. Acute or chronic
catarrh, or infection Of the sinuses
Immediately behind the nose are the
commonest causes of this dizziness,
which is usually accompanied by nau-
sea or thinking" noise In the ear.
These attacks occur about once
or twice a month, lasting from few
minutes to few hours, or even for a
few days.
The treatment in these cases is to
look for trouble about the nose and
sinuses and If this is found and re-
moved the attacks disappear. OF
course, If fresh infection occurs. the
attacks of dizziness may return.
Treatment during attacks consists
Of any quieting medicine, such as
phenobarbital. While this Is a most
helpful drug, there is the chance
that the patients may acquire the
"barbital habit"

BY ANGELO PATRI.


THE telephone rang and Franks
- mother answered it. When she
returned to the living room she said:
Prank. Mrs. White says you have her
rommy's pencil box. How did that
happen?"
"But haven't his pencil box. I've
bold him that q dozen times and he
won't believe me. See, my name Is in
mine"
''well, 7 don't know what to do. I
don't want trouble with the neighbors
about pencil box that costs 10 cents.
Let him have that one and I'll get

But that would not do. He wouldn't
take 1t. He says it is not his and that
! took his and have to give it back.
I never took his. How can give it

Again the telephone rang and again
there was talk about stealing. about
making a complaint to the principal
and the teacher, about being bad
associates for children. and mother
turned to father. You see what you
can do. I've done my best and 1t Is

Father put on his coat and hat and
went out. He went to the 5 and 10
and bought another pencil box. He
went to the neighbor and pleasantly

we are through. I don't want to hear
another word about the matter. Don't
ring our telephone about this thing
again. Enough is enough"
Next day bright and early the out
ragged mother went to the school to
complain about Frank as thieving
rascal who took pencil boxes from good
boys like hers. The teacher listened
in amazement. BY and BY at favor

THAT looks like it. 1t might be.

Children are at best uncertain in their

~ rush headlong INTO divorce

has not come up to their expectations.
or they are disillusioned or bored, or
have lost their taste for their hus-
bands, or even when they have some
serious grievance against the men to

There are four reasons why I urge
women to regard divorce as the last

instead Of as first aid to injured feel

q fatal mistake.
None of us can retrace the journey
we have come in life. The woman
who has been married, who has been
at the head of her own house, cannot
20 back and take her old place In her
parents home. She Is an allen In 1t.
She has lost her social status and
fits in nowhere. Her family considers
her q burden. Nine times out OF 10
her last estate is worse than her first
and she finds it harder to be bossed
by her mother than she did to be
bossed by her husband.

can always be salvaged. So many
marriages that look on the verge OF
bankruptcy turn into successes. 80
many husbands and wives who quar-
relied like cats and dogs during their
honeymoon learn to live in peace
together and iron out their difiiculties.
Husbands settle down and turn do
nestle. Wives acquire tact. And
their golden weddings are happier
than their first ones were.

Right.
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST; Is it consid-
cred IN questionable taste for two
girls to 60 unchaperoned to a mans
apartment to have dinner with him
and a man friend of his? And if this
is permitted, may these girls remain
to play bridge, or would it be neces-
sary for the sake of appearance that
they leave soon after dinner?
Arswer-it is very hard to give a
general answer to something that de-
ponds so greatly not only upon the
individuals in question, but upon their
environment You really can an
swer this much better than I can be-
cause you know what you are like,
who the men are and what your
friends and neighbors would think.
II all this is in your favor, then I
cannot disapprove. But in any event,
you should leave their apartment
(and together) by 10 o'clock.
n n y
Dear Mrs. Post: Please give us
your opinion of the following situt
alton, which five of us and the parents
OF at least three have been discussing
for some time. I, who am "a, and two
girl friends, 26 and %, have long
talked of taking cruise, and it has
Just SO happened that two boys we've
grown up with in this town would
like to go on this same cruise They
ere as and 20, in case ages make any
difference to your answer. No one
thinks Of these men as our beaux.
We would like to go on fruit line
boat, which you perhaps do know does
not accommodate many passengers.
For that reason everyone is usually
very congenial, and naturally all are
brought into closer association than
would be the case on large ship.
] This Is small town and while, as far
: Is we know, all five Of us have so far
escaped the Grundies, we want to be
very sure that our sailing away on one
ship together Is not going to give them
enough to talk about for the rest Of
our nvesl
Answer-This is another of those
questions that cannot be answered
definitely, for the same reasons as
those have just given in my answer
! to the letter above. But personally
Z ! think neighbors would have to be
more than parrow-minded to find
fault and gossip in the situation as
your statement makes it appear.

. Dear Mrs. Post--Is it customary to
Z send wedding presents to bride and
groom both past so? They were both
married before and we knew their first
mates.
Answer Sometimes very intimate
friends send presents, but it is not
necessary that even they do this un-
less they particularly want to.
