Constipation Proves
 Civilizations Curse
Cause Attributed to Eating Refined Foods-Proper
 Diet and Exercise Good Prevention Means

from constipation are rather com- monly known, the taking of laxa- tives has become almost @ national habit. This is regrettable for laxa- tives do not cure constipation, only relieve 1t temporarily and in time make the condition worse.
 Fortunately this ailment can be cured and its deleterious effects avoided by proper care. If you have lacked vitality, energy and vigor that accompany good health, 1t is wise to see @ physician and have a health examination. Proper diet and exercise not only help prevent con- stipation but tend to bring about the buoyant health which is the ideal for every human being. Now for Q few rules of diet; in the first place use some of the less refined foods. They not only supply rough- age but some of the necessary vita- mins and minerals. White sugar and white cereal and bread may look well on the table but they sup ply little else than energy to the body. The use of dark bread and such sugars as molasses, honey and brown sugar also gives energy but besides that supplies some minerals, vitamins and necessary roughage. It Is not these foods alone, however, that will cure constipation but Q freer use of vegetables, particularly those containing roughage. An ex- cellent meal plan is suggested here, for it will supply plenty of the pro- tective foods (those which guard against dietary diseases), energy, and enough bulk for normal body processes.
 Breakfast: Dark cereal; whole wheat, graham or bran toast with butter; fruit such as apple with skin, cherries, apricots, figs, prunes, oranges or grapefruit; milk for chill dren and coffee with cream for ad- ults. Lunch: (For sedentary peo- ple) raw vegetable salad or, in cold weather, hot vegetable cream soup; dark bread and butter; milk for all; and if dessert is desired, fruit, dark cookies or custard are valuable. Dinner: Soup if desired: meat: two vegetables, at least one green; potato with skin on; milk; dessert if desired.
 After care has been given to the diet proper exercise is the next thing to think about. Take a few bending and sitting up exercises the first thing in the morning and plan to give some time during the day to out-of-doors activity, whether it be brisk walk or some sort of play. Suitable diet and proper exercises can usually be relied upon to cure even obstinate cases of constipation

There is probably no ailment SC generally universal as that of con- stipation. It might be called the curse Of civilization for we may be pretty sure that no such thing was found among savage people. The coarse foods they were forced to eat and the large amount of exercise re- quired for them to even live kept their bodies in regular running or der. Today shows quite different picture. The food placed on our tables is often highly refined with the coarse, bulky parts removed. The majority of us do very little to secure the food other than buy 1t at the grocery store. There is no ex- ercise connected with it as there was for the primitive people.
 The eating of reaned foods and the lack of regular exercise are un- doubtedly the main reasons for con- stipation. Because of the discomfort and because the dangers arising

VXTE ARE indebted to the Indi. w ans for many things. One of the chief of these is corn. For hundreds, perhaps thousands of years before Columbus took the grains of corn which were to spread its cultivation all over the world. .he Indians had cultivated and eaten this important food.
 Just as we prize corn most highly, so did the Indians. Each year the six Indian tribes of the Iroquois family celebrated Green Corn Festival-four days of feast and thanksgiving to the Great Spirit who had given them corn.
 To Show Our Gratitude
 Housewives. today. carry on the festival, in a different way. how. ever. Probably four days each week they serve corn in one way or another-roasting ears. corn buildings, corn salads, corn muf. fins. or In some other delightful form. Gamers have varied the
 
 styles of canning corn in order to suit the tastes and convenience of housewives.
 For example, when corn was first canned 1t was almost all "cream style" - the rich creamy mixture which is especially fne for making cream soups, soufIi6a, corn buildings and chowdera In recent years, however. in order to meet the demand for new ways to serve corn. the whole kernel" corn became available in cans. This corn is picked at roasting ear" stage and the entire kernel is cut on and remains separate when in the can. It is particularly suited for saus6ing, corn cakes. scalloped dishes for stufrng pep Ders. for fritterE. or for use iR making a dressing for fowl. In is3t One-ffth of the total pack of white corn was iR ihiS Siyi@ [.

Base Plug

Why is 1t that the base plug never seems to be in the right place? Well, in many cases 1t is because 1t is in the wrong place. To be sure to have base plug al- ways at a convenient spot, there should be one at every point be- tween door and window openings. Another refinement that is now widely practiced is taking the plug out of the baseboard and placing it in the wall above. If you have a table on which you want to place 0 lamp, the plug can be placed 20 inches or so above the floor. This keeps the cords off the floor where they gather dust fuzz and look un- tidy. The wall plates that cover the plugs may be painted like the walls so they are scarcely noticeable.

belled herds being driven from all directions over the hillsides to the summer pastures.
 That did not, however, spoil my taste for Swiss cheese or "schweit- zerkase," that huge, cart-wheel cheese that one may see piled in the markets of this country and in- ported in tons to America.
 Cheese is an ideal storage food and is highly nutritious. Thus, by its contribution to good health, it occupies an important place in the list of foods that are favorable to beauty.
 Tho milder favored cheeses are generally used as definite parts of the diet, while those of stronger flavor are employed merely to inn prove the taste of other foods. Be- ing less expensive than meat and containing all the necessary ele- ments of a complete food, cheese may be used frequently as a meal substitute or as 8 nourishing addi- ton to any deficient menu.

You may also add to the flavor of mashed buttered turnips if you will blend them with a tablespoon of finely chopped onion which has been softened in butter.
 Remember, too, that when served with the wrong meat, turnips may sound jarring note in the menu. We do not like them SO well with the light, delicate meats as we do with the heavier praised recipes and roasts having plenty of good brown gravy. Here is nice, econ- ornical recipe for baked spare ribs with sweet potatoes, for which creamed turnips will provide Q de- licious green vegetable:
 Spare Ribs With Sweet Potatoes
 Purchase two pieces of neaty spare ribs and wipe them with a damp cloth. Now chop 1-2 cupful of Bermuda onion, 1 1-2 cups of tart apples, and to them add 1-4 cup of sugar, cup of bread crumbs and salt and pepper to taste. Fry 1-4 cup of diced salt pork until 1t Is a light brown; add to the bread and apple mixture, blend all together over the fire and use as a stuffing between the two strips of spare ribs. Fasten the meat with string or skewers, rub the outer surface with 8 mixture of 3 tablespoons flour, l tablespoon sugar, l tea spoon salt and a little pepper. Place in a hot oven to bake one hour. Place around the meat sweet potatoes which have been halved and dipped in thin syrup, and con- tinue cooking until the meat is brown.

oh Sire?" we may safely assume that "you cheese" spoke German and hailed from the beautiful prov ince of Lattick. The Limburger is to-day one of the best known of the Belgian cheeses. It is also made in Germany, New York and Wis., conSin, and in content and consist ence, is one of the richest in food value of all the cheeses.
 There are perhaps more varieties of native cheese in Italy than in any othsr country. In that glorious aluvial valley between the Alps and the Apennines, in the district of Parma. huge cellars and caves are stored with the cheese which is commercially known as Parmesan-- the ever-popular affinity of spa ghetti and macaroni.
 In Lombardy one finds Gorgon- z la-a rich creamy cheese similar Cheddar. In Rome one eats Ricot- ta, cottage cheese made from goats milk. It is delicious with pull verized coffee and sugar, or made into @ pudding favored with rum. In Urbino I was once served 8 small white cheese, accompanied by raw beans in their pods, called Fara.
 I made a special trip to Edam from Volemdam by steamer, and was perhaps more impressed with the quaint Dutch architecture and picturesque costumes of the peas ants than with its great cheese in- dustry. But I was informed that the business is so important to thct country that the Dutch gov- ernment protects it by insisting thst the cheese makers use only unskimmed milk, having 45 per cent fes content. Consequently the Edam cheese is next in food value to Linn burger.
 In Switzerland happened to ar- rive in early Summer, on the day appointed to drive the cattle to "the Alp" So that they might not stray or get lost, each animal was pro- vi6ed with 8 different kind of bell, 1t seemed to me, and early In the morning was awakened by the loud, raucous dangling of a thou sand tinkles the jingle of the

If for no other reason than its iodine content I think fish should be served at least once a week.
 Aside from that, fish is an easily digested and inexpensive food.
 Miss Charlotte Field, the only woman chef in any big New York hotel, recommends haddock. She says a haddock for baking is not only easy to secure in the market and easy to prepare but it is also very easy on the eyes when it is ready to serve with it's rich lock- ing sauce and a few sprigs of parsley or other greens.
 Here is the way she prepares it:

Do You Know That:

-The natural yellow color of milk, cream and butter is due en- tirely to their carotene ('pro-vita- min A") content.
 Onions grown in early spring are milder than those grown in hot weather, reports the United States Department of Agriculture.
 -The color of beeswax is derived from the color of the pollen of the flowers visited by the bees.
 Refined Irish and Iceland moss have been suggested for us aS sub- stitutes for gelatine.
 Besides the COW, eight, other an- irnals give milk for human consuinp- ton. They are goats, reindeer, yals, zebus, buffaloeS, 1lamas, carnels and sheep.
 It is both annoying and waste- full to find that the unused lemons have become withered and hard. You can prevent this by placing the fruit in fruit jar filled with cold water; screw the top on tightly, and they will keep perfectly for several weeks.
 To sprinkle clothes quickly and evenly, use an old salt or pepper shaker of large size-the kind usu- ally used for cooking. Fill with water and shake quickly over the clothes. The fine spray will damp en them much better than the large drops usually shaken from the fin- gers. Hot water is more effective than cold for sprinkling.
