THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEUELL.

If there ever is a time for considering
the benefits of light eating, Summer is it.
Now when the thermometer stands in
the COS, almost at blood heat, there
surely is little If any demand for food
for purposes of affording heat.
Therefore the supply of Matchmaking
foods notably the carbohydrates and
the fats, may be cut to the minimum.
How often are they?
Seldom, if ever, according to first
hand observations in restaurants, where
the rank and file of the populace con-
sumo their daily provender
These are all members of the great
popular tribe Of persons who firmly be-
lieVe that diet is something utterly un-
necessary, if not altogether weird
Diet however, is only common sense
in application.
The bodily economy is very complex
thing. Food substances are very COM
pleX things. The present systems of
diet built up on knowledge of the
needs of the human body, and how to
supply them, are very intricate
They have further been complicated
by various theories, some of them based
on science, some on observation by Law
men, and some on nothing more solid
than desires
1t is no wonder that the average Law
man refuses to bother with such con-
tiicting ideas, and eats what he wants,
at all times
1t Is no wonder, then, that there is a
huge amount of indigestion, belching,
sour stomach, and SO on, verging into
constipation, piles, and so on
Just where in the years is the idea
commonly lost that TODD ought to be
simple and not complex?
Children are given a small number
of healthful foods, real foods which
contain all the materials, including the
vitaminS and minerals Nature put into
them. No doubt to this influence may
be attributed the tall boys and girls
seen everywhere today.
Food science is still largely opinion,
but it has made enough steps to claim
to be something more, too, and it is
giving results.
Somewhere in the years however, the
idea crops up that all this care about
diet is well enough for babies and small
children, but for older and presumably
UOuBItl )tlSOllS is II 6lIOgeJfleT u0NeCeS-
sary, waste of time and energy.
Probably nothing could be farther
from the truth. If care in feeding is
necessary at one age, it is essential at
another
If Impressed foods are good for
growing humans, they are equally good
in another way, for those who have got
their growth"
Indeed they may be regarded as even
more essential, since the old rebound of
youth is being lost over the years.
Equally important with the idea of un-
procesSed foods is that of simple meals
What do the animals get to eat, when
fed by man? A very simple but ade-
quate dietary. On it are grown the fine
prize animals shown in such numbers
at the country fairs every year.
Man, being master, seems to think
that any old sort Of gobbling will do
for himself.
Hence the average person who SHES
from doctors books permits himself an

has been democratized in earthenware
and distributed throughout the world.
The bystanding philosopher is en-
couraged to note the instinct involved
in stories of this type. Civilization itself,
he understands, is constantly being de-
stroyed and also consistently being re-
paired. Let changes occur, old and
valued traditions be traduced, life rem
dered miserable for millions, there never
theless is nothing to dispair about. 1t
happens that it is law of the cosmos
that every action provokes its own COR

A Rhyme at Twilight
By
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton.
The Feathered World.

These are the birthdays of Summer.
Fledglings are growing pin feathers,
Learning to flap tiny winglets
Over the home nest that tethers;
Mother birds, coming and going,
Anxiously twitter their bidding
Young things must be, In first flight,
Wary of slipping and skidding.
Woodlands are gay and resounding:
There's chirruping, whistling, singing,
Glorious flashes of color.
Father birds busily winging,
Woodpeckers tapping the tree trunks,
Whip poor wills calling at twilight
These are the birthdays of Summer.
Feathered life reaching its high light.

The Starnes bill goes from the House

Shooting Stars.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON

The Baby Boy.
I saw pretty baby boy,
Who laughed in careless glee.
The world held nothing to annoy.
A happy elf was he.
Some Gay ne will grow up and make
His way, like other folks
And smoke cigars and stay awake
Where other people tell rough jokes
Some day he'll maybe drive mule
With language most severe,
Or seek in ways of wealth to rule
And be prohteer.
Some day ingratitudes will smart
AS friends remain we'll hid;
Some day girl will break his heart
Or make him think she did.
And so I said, Go to it, son,
While sunshine fills the skies;
Now is the time to have your fun
Before you get too wise"

China and Japan are evidently deter

that the old hemisphere in trying to

If names make news,
Good friend, take heed

Roosevelt could still move the Army to China, if
he so desired, without the consent of the people.
Congress indorse his act as official war; with
out first putting the issue to the people. The

it would be blank.

being found out

When sleep will not come, think not only of
