HOW FAST YOU EAT AND
 GROW OLD

I am more and more impressed with the part played by overeating in inducing arterso-sclerosis. There are many cases in which there is no other factor. George Cheyne's ad- vice was never more needed than by the present generation.
 The foregoing paragraph is quoted from "the doctors bible"-Practice of Medicine, Osler, 1905. Cheyne's advice to which Dr. Osler refers, was given in essay on health and long life written in first years of the seventeenth century by a man who at thirty, through excessive eating and drinking, had brought his weight up to AS pounds and had become very short breathed, lethargic and listless. Then Cheyne began to follow a kind of regenera- tive regimen, 8 diet of milk and vegetables, systematic exercise, and reduced his weight to 130 pounds. He recovered considerable of his lost vite, lived to the age (hoary for those days) of 72 years, and left his famous essay, in whcih he said:
 Every wise man, after fifty ought to begin to lessen at least the quantity of his ailment, and ii he would continue free of great and dangerous distempers and preserve his senses and faculties clear to the

 Chicken Salad Derby
 (4 to 6 seryings)
 Five pound fat hen, 2 cups ten- der celery. 2 cups mayonnaise, lemon juice.
 Simmer hen until tender. Use meat only from breast and second joints. Cut into IA inch cubes. Combine with the mayonnaiSe whit ened with lemon juice. Use large bowl lined with lettuce leaves. Place the chicken and mayonnaise mix tllre in the center. Then the fun be- gins. Surround with quartered peeled tomatoes, crescents of avo- cado. asparagus tips, quartered hard cooked eggs. That done, start all over again by topping with finely shredded pimientos, green peppers cut in strips and alternate rings of green and ripe jumbo olives. And now try and find that chicken salad!
 Black Bottom pie is what the gentlemen of the press might call screwy looking pie. But at the Brown Derby out there in Holly wood where so many odd things happen, this pie turns out to taste more sensible than 1t looks. After the pie proper is tucked away in it's pastry shell, it is stabbed, dot- ted, scattered and dusted with choc- olate in long rolls which look like rolls of tobacco leaves. And this is the authentic recipe.

 Yourself
By Alicia Hart

Time was when women believed that glasses were great and fatal handicap to good looks and suffered severe discomfort rather than wear them in public. Today, however, we know that visioh defects are just as apparent without glasses as with them, and, providing the optician has an interest in appearance as well as eyesight, that glasses need not detract at all from physical beauty.
 Moderns would much rather see girl wear glasses than to go around not recognizing people because of near-sightedness or to Squint or complain of headaches. If you are told to wear spectacles, be Q good girl, take the prescription to hand and present yourself to an optician who has fine selection of various bows and frames and who will take the trouble to give you glasses that are fiattering as well as beneficial.
 Spectacles which are set low and straight make long nose seem shorter. Those with highly arched bridge give length to very short nose. Round or oval lenses make ir- regular features seem more even, Straight-sided ones lessen the prominent of extremely thin, high cheekbones. There is almost no fa- cial irregularity that correct glasses cannot overcome to some extent. How Frames
 Accent Character
 Experts say that oxford rims sug- gest worldliness and sophistication; tortoise shell glasses turn one into a gayer, younger looking being; sil- yer or gold rims intensity a serious expression; fairly round shell rims suggest humor and youth. Fol sports and casual daytime occasions trimmed types with light amber lenses are recommended. For even- ing, hand-engraved, dainty non- folding oxfords of white gold are advisable. Or you can wear folding glasses on thin gold chain around your neck.
 A girl who wears glasses should avoid a severe coiffure. She needs soft curls or feminine looking waves around her face. Plain, extreme oi brushed backward effects are apt tt give 8 frozen, unapproachable air Mannish suits, shirtwaist dresse. without feminine touches, sailor hats of stiff straw are other item; for the bespectacled women to stay away from.
 To counteract the shadows tha' glasses are bound to cause, ont should smooth powder on eyelid! and directly below the eyes, ant use less rouge on the shadowet area. All makeup ought to be ap. piled with the greatest of care perfectly blended and never, never with lavish hand. Lipstick is must.

 Your Children

Often a childs mistakes can be made into excellent lessons that will influence his life.
 Today neighbor was telling me about her boy, now grown, who once stole some cherries from a tempting tree.
 Dave, it seemed, got her cherries but in descending, his foot slipped and broke window in the garage Inside was brand new car, and the glass from the window struck the windshield.
 The owner discovered the calam- ity, and possibly the first shock of thinking that his car was damaged, did not add to his good humor.
 Now Davie was a nice little boy, and MT. Smith did not suspect him. But he asked Dave's mother if she had seen gang about who had attempted some pilfering before.
 No, she hadn't seen anybody re- gently, but she'd ask Dave and his little brother about it. She did so ad David whispered, "Oh, mama, l did 1t. And I'm scared. I was get ting some cherries"
 His mother had given him some money for good marks tbat day, and now said gravely, T want you to take that money and go over to MT. Smith, and tell him just how it was, David" And David started off bravely enough. But with a foot on the Smith steps he turned and ran back home.
 I'm frightened" he panted. MT Smith might be awfully m1d."
 "Ill go with you, son, but you have to do the talking" MT. Smith, of grave demeanor always, was graver still while Dave blurted out his story and his apol- ogy, and opened his hot little palm with it's atonement money. What could he do? My neighbor said her heart sank, because after all 1t was a prank and so far the little fellow had been so anxious to do the right thing.
 MT. Smith took the money and gazed into the earnest face uplifted to his.
 "Now, David" he said, suppose you go with me and we'll buy the new glass together. Then you can help me put 1t in. And after this I am going to put the cherry tree and the garage in your care" A Friend Indeed
 He was going to hand back the money, but a negative sign from the boys mother stopped him David had to pay a price for his pilfering and thought 1t would dc him good to lose his skate money she explained. But the way MT Smith handled the whole thing did the boy more good than anything that ever happened in his life. One cross word and I think he would have lied next time. I've never known him to tell an untruth yet
 know David, as I said, a man now, one of the very finest. I looked at him today, then over at the cherry tree now in bloom and the garage window. There is no guile in David. There could have been. One mistake can be the turning point oi life. He was punished and honor ably discharged at the same time with no deep bruise to his repen- tant soul.

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS
 Heredity

Abandoned girl baby adpoted by childless couple. She proved to be subnormal, but private teaching enabled her to. read and write fair ly well, though reasoning was be- yond her. Short time ago she was taken with nervous spell" present. ly became violent and had to be sent to an institution. She is now 2 years old. Would this have hap pened if she had been sterilized at the proper age? CMrs. M. E. H.
 Answer--I do not understand why she should have been sterilized. In any case, that would not have pre- vented the deficiency from mani- festing itself. The child evidently inherited a taint or deficiency from one or both parents who were fec ble-minded. insane alcoholic or both parents who were feeble minded, insane, alcoholic or other wise defective.

 The very name angina pectoris" is reminiscent of the pain that this disease causes; in fact, pain is probably the most significant symp- tom of this disease. Angina pee toris occasionally is confused with coronary thrombosis, which also may cause severe paint in the heart
 The pain of coronary thrombosis comes in a single attack with pro- longed pain, whereas the pain of angina pectoris occurs at frequent intervals of short duration and without symptoms between the at- tacks.
 In each of these diseases, there is interference with the blood sup ply to the heart muscle, but with different effect on the heart.
 In coronary thrombosis, the in- terference with the blood supply is prolonged and brings about seri- ous damage to the tissues. In the case of angina pectoris, the inter ference is momentary and may not result in permanent damage.
 Comprehension of the nature Of angina pectoris and coronary thrombosis involves some under standing of the blood supply to the heart.
 The heart is nourished, not so much by the blood which 1t pumps to the utmost ends of the body, as by blood vessels which come to the heart as they come to other tissues and organs of the body.
 These blood vessels originate in the largest blood vessel coming from the heart. Obviously, therefore, any changes which occur in this large blood vessel at points near the heart muscle may interfere with the flow of blood into the heart.
 AS people get older, the blood vessels sometimes thicken and harden. In association with this process, they also become narrow CT and their blod-carrying capac- tty becomes less.
 When there is a general process of this type, affecting the blood vessels Of the body. the vessels which supply the heart with blood are also affected.
