I take my word for this: the deposits of uric salt sometimes found in the tissues, as well as the chilliness or chill which signaliEes the onset of the cri is Q consequence and not Q cause of the illness. Alas for the theory, these "chalk-stones" or tophi are commonly found in the tissues or about the joints of in. dividuals who have never had 0 twinge of anything resembling gout or rheumatism. Moreover, precise chemical analyses of the blood in cases of alleged gout too frequently show no appreciable increase in the amount of uric acid over the normal average (which is from OF to 3.7 mgrms. per cent), while on the other hand the blood uric acid content Is more often increased in various other disease conditions in which the general metabolisn is poor, ox- idation process slow, nutrition faul- ty.
 Nutrition is the sum of the pro- cesses by which animal or plant takes in or absorbs, digests, assimi- lates, utiiizes for building tissue, for producing heat or energy, and ex- creates or eliminates the by-pro- ducts or waste material of food, ox- ygen and water. Metabolism is an- other term for 1t. Probably faulty nutrition or deficient Inetaboltsm is concerned in all cases of chronic arthritis, whether the condition is primarily of infectious nature or not.
 Not only the endocrines( hor- mones, ductless gland secretions, iti- ternal secretions) but also the vita mins are concerned in the causa- ton of chronic arthritis, especially chronic degenerative or hypertro- phic arthritis. Recent researches itl- dicate that the vitamins and the hormones or endocrines are func- tionally related; that is, if this or that vitamin is lacking of If the inc dividual does not get sufficient dn food or medicine, there is Q conse- quent deficiency in the production of some one of the endocrines or internal secretions. We can't be specific about this as yet, but we know that vitamin E is so related with the sex hormones, vitamin c is related with the adrerial hormone and vitrmin D with the parathyroid hormone, There is considerable evil dence that vitamin B is so related with the production of insulin in the pancreaS.

"What's the matter, CarolineG What have done now2"
 "Nothing, mother"
 "Yes, I have. I can always tell when you are dIsapproving of me my dear. Andit seems to me il is pretty often"
 "i'm not disapproving, but every time you talk to Mrs. Blake l feel funny. you don't act like yourself You said we intended to take Q trip and if we saw Q cottage we liked I've might take it. I never heard you and Dad talking of any cottage. l thought maybe you were making 1t up."
 "YouIl learn some things in time, darling. one is that you have to meet Greek with Greek. Mrs. Blake doesn't know any other language but the sernblance of prosperity. She is forever bragging, 90 I had to have my little fling. Really 1t wasn't serious. She probably knew 1 I was spoofing. Just as she does"
 Mother Knows Best?
 "But 1t seems so--so kind of in- sincere, mother. Sort of cheap. I don't mean to offend you, but I like you better when you just say ordinary things"
 Getting e bit critical of your mother, aren't you, darling9 ! don't seem to be the good old person you used to think I was. The other day | I tried Q cigaret at Aunt Carries and you walked in.

 "But want to do what you want be to do. can't have my daughter worrying about her mother"
 "You mean that I'm to tell you what embarasses me, and if l don't like 1t, you won't do 1t any moreP"
 Daughter Tells All
 Mrs. Smith was rather astonlshed ct her daughters astuteness, but she said, "Yes."
 "Oh, mother, I'm awfully glad, Now can tell you about the day you gave c party and you said that husbands and wives should not sit next to each other. I think they al- ways should sit right next each other. was wondering what every- body would think. You won't do that any more, will your"
 "But there's nothing wrong with that, my dear. That is the way it's done almost everywhere"
 But mother I get 50 worried I'm only fourteen but I can't help getting worried about you. l get 50 upset when I think maybe" she hesitated. But her mother sup- piled, "-that I'm getting to be Q wild woman. Is that it9 Don't you worry about me. l always know what's right, dear. I was silly tc talk to Mrs. Blake that way and my own conscience told me 50. But otherwise lot us leave 1t at this that I'm Q pretty good old lady and can't 90 for wrong. Won't you trust me9"
 "Oh yes. You're grand, mother I guess I've been acting like Q baby You're just the same as you always were. I won't be silly again."
 The Home CensorB
 Mrs. Smith sighed, "For this we have daughters. From now on have . mentor in my own child. My life is no longer my own." And she was right. There is no greater critic on earth than the adolescent gir where her parents are concerned or boy either for that matter. They are our real moralists.

 Paris (UP)-Fashion changes are not effected suddenly, but by grad uaI and steady alteration toward Q new silhouette. The actual line has been altered little for the past three or four years, but new silhouette slowly is being created with grad- ual tightening and shortening of skirts and q particular stress on large sleeves and the normal waist line.
 Emphasis on broad shOuldehs and large sleeves has been prevalent ever since Schiaparelli launched the idea about three years ago. Since then, other houses have taken up this feature and made various small changes. Chanel has been insisting on the normal waistline for years and last year Molyneux took tip the cause and lowered the waistiine con. siderably. Captain MClyneux went even farther with his last two col lections In which he stresses the normal walstllne by swathing it ir c wide sash Of 8 contrasting color

 Iced tea, fragrant and sparkling, served in Q tall glass with Q thin slice of lemon, 6 sprig of mint and the clink of Ice, Is certainly one of the most refreshing of summer bevs erages. a
 Perhaps you've noticed though. that sometimes Iced tea is much more appealing than Q tothers. Iced tea, to be perfect, must be made carefully; hit-of-nniSs methods bring hit-or.miss results.
 TO begin with, you must have per. fectly brewed tee. It should not be allowed to steep. or brew. longer than five minutes. At the end of this tiine, the tea infusion should Dc poured from the leaves and the leaves thrown away.
 The fiavoring substance and stiln. ulating properties in tea leaves are quickly extracted by boiling water. Short steeping produces 6 fragrant, deiicately favored beverage that Is mildly stimulating to most people. Long stepping extracts more of the tannin from tho leaves and spells the delicate flavor and fragrance.
 Use Plenty of Tea
 Tn making tea to Do iced, allow twice as much dry. tea for each cup as for Q hot drink. DO not increase the steeping time.
 When 1t comes to serving, you will need lots of ice. Fill the glasses full with coarsely cracked Ice or hal. full with chipped or shaved ice. Pour tea over the ice, taking care not to touch the glass with the hot tea. Have on extra supply of ice on hand at the table and drop an ice cube in each glass when you serve 1t. Personally I prefer powdered in. stead of granulated sugar with iced tea. The reason is that powdered sugar dissolves in Q cold liquid more readily than the coarser grained, granulated variety
 Either the juice or sections bi lemon or orange may be served with iced tea. The juice, served in c small pitcher or in c bowl with Q cream ladle,is liked by many persons better than the fruit sections.
 A simple syrup often is served in place of sugar. Syrup is con- venient to keep on hand during the summer because 1t combines more quickly with fruit juices than does plain sugar.
 To make simple syrup, put one cup granulated sugar and one-half cup water into Q smooth sauce pan. Bring to the boiling point, cover and boil five minutes. This makes e rather thick, concentrated syrup. One tablespoon with be enough to sweeten glass of iced tea to suit the average taste.
 There is no way to make per- feet iced tea and save on ice. The beverage is bound to become cloudy if it's made and allowed to cool nor- mally, diluted with cold water. Neither will 1t have the delicate tea fragrance that is preserved when hot, freshly made tea is poured over enough ice to thoroughly chill and dilute it.

URIC ACID AND. CHRONIC
 ARTHRITIS

 0out, like rabies in man, can hap- pen, 50 they tell me, but I don't be- heve 1t. In a way I'm sorry about gout, too. It was Q fascinating con- cept. It has sold lot of medicine and still more trick diets. It has af- forded Q rich field of ponderous speculation for medical authors. Never is e doctor more imposing, and that's the word for 1t, than when he emits depressing observa- tions about purins in the diet or tophi in the tissues.
 The uric acid obsession is rapidly fading from scientific medical thought. In the nostrum and quack- cry trade, however, 1t still has tre- mendous sucker appeal. And there are still plenty of wiseacre laymen who at least hesitate about Q second helping of red or dark meat, out of reverence for the old tradition.
 Tophi are chalk-like deposits of mono.s sodium urate in the tissues. They are hard to get around, too--as hard as the chilliness your Aunt Henrietta feels and shows when she gets caught in Q draft or change of weather. But please remember what circumstantial evidence did to the poor chap who set out to lead . well, never mind.-you1l have to

 Of all the exercises that make for figure beauty, swimming takes first prize. Experts agree that @ daily swim will slenderize the waist- line and hips, remove unsightly Jumps from the thighs, make ankles, feet and arms look lovelier and younger, and at the same time do. Velop the bust and muscles around the neck. Results Of recent surveys are impressive enough to convince anyone that Q daily swim really Is the answer to all correct propor- ton problems.
 The perfect figure Is one which is well-developed-not too fat and not too thin, of course. 1t should have soft curves instead of Jumps and bumps or ridges and sharp angles.
 If you have trouble keeping your hips down to 6 measurement of which you can be proud, have someone teach you to do e proper Australian crawl. Even though you know you won't lear to swim in one summer, do the leg and feet part of the crawl regularly and watch your hips get smaller. Hold on to the side of Q boat or grasp the edge of springboard or dock aSie! make your legs work hard.
 If you have Q flat chest or Q scrawny neck, practice the breast stroke for half an hour day. Inc haling deeply, stretch your arms through the water until they are wide apart. Exhale as you bring i them forward. If you don't live near the water, do breast stroke exercises before an open window ct home. This takes longer, Of course, but eventually you will get results.
 Naturally, it's not Q good Idea to swim too vigorously and get too tired the first few times you go into the water. Take your swimming in Q fairly leisurely manner until your body becomes accustomed to proper exercise, Then increase the rapidity of your strokes and the length of time you stay in the water. By September you'll be buying clothes at least two sizes smaller. You may weigh the same, but your dimensions will be less.
 NEXT: More about exercises.
