complaint about a client. He

When she started the bureau,
Mrs. Younger started it under

She's going on using it, al

and she won't be named Younger
much longer. She's going to be
married next summer, but she'll
keep on with the bureau.

Expectant mothers should

foods which will give the infant
strong teeth. She should eat
vegetables, whole-grain cereals,

If the child is to chew his or

other feature contributes more
to good appearance than nice,

On the other hand, crooked,

She advertises in the papers
that she has a social introduc-

call her up. They are given a
personal interview. Mrs. Younger
watches their manners and their
faces, checks their past history
and their lack of matrimonial
status, which is requirement.

has been interviewed, and found

not only our diet, but that OF
our parents as well. Primitive
peoples who live on simple foods
are usually blessed with good
teeth. Thus we see the ESkimos
of the Arctic and the Negroes
of the tropics both with Splen-
did teeth. 1t is only when these
peoples come under the influ-
ence of civilization, and begin
to eat foods that have been
deprived of their vitality in
preparation, that they begin to
suffer from civilized mans COM
monest complaint-to tooth
trouble.
The Eskimos live almost ex-
clusively on meat. Any green
stuff they do get is mostly from
the stomach Of seals they kill.
Negroes live almost exclusively
on fruits and vegetables. Yet
we who have both in our diet,
haven't as healthy teeth as they.

TISH is to be plentiful and moder-
ate in cost this week. Veal is to be
reasonably priced for the first time in
months. Lamb is cheaper, pork higher
and beef little changed. Ducks are the
lowest priced poultry item, though
fowl, broiling and frying chickens arc
reasonable.
Oranges are cheaper than in four
years. Apples, bananas, grapefruit,
pineapples and strawberries are all in
expensive.
Vegetables, too, are generally
cheaper than last week. The chief ex-
ception to this is Iceberg lettuce, which
the low price on tomatoes, however,
more than balances.
Here are three seasonable menus.

die, while melody, pure as Cali
fornia's new gold, poured from his
lips. The band behind him rode
gaily too, joining in on the lusty
chorus of the song. Even the horses
had caught the fever and the beat
Of their hoots was a rhythmic Gre

trick of launching his left shoulder

holding up a hostelry.
