Difference between ordinary mug triton, the state of most people who are not sick enough to go to 8 doctor but still not so well as they might be, and optimal nutrition, the state of perfect health and yite which few are able to attain, IS, m my crazy judgment, principally 9 prolonged habitual or lifelong shortage of calcium and phos- phorus. sunshine vitamin D, and vitamin B complex (which is the natural B factor including G or B-z and several other entities not yet completely identified. 3 Instead of trying this and that medicine which may or may not produce some temporary effect up. on one or another of the impaired functions, the individual whose health is under par must make tne necessary corrections in his diet and in addition supplement his diet with certain of the essentials above mentioned. What is still more important and frequently not sufficiently impressed upon the mind is the fact that the remedlat measures which bring about the desired rejuvenation or restoration of resiliency are NOT medicine but simply food. This is important to remember because, although it may be possible to produce certain eI- fleets with medicine and retain the benefit after the medicine has been discontinued, one does not expect to enjoy any benefits derived from nutrition unless one maintains the nutritive intake at the optimal level indefinitely. r
 On the other hand some doctors who had little or no scientific knowledge of the subject, conceived. the notion that too much of this or that vitamin, especially sunshine yitamin D, might produce disas- trous consequences, and these un- enlightened-or perhaps subsidized doctors propagated among the laity the wholly groundless fear of giving the baby few more units of yitamin D than the baby should have daily. Extensive observation and experience in giving enormous doses of vitamin D daily over neriods of many months have proved beyond the shadow of douot that it is virtually impossible to do any harm by even enormous daily rations of vitamin D or any other known vitamin.

Remember how we tried to ex- plain the significance of tone the other day. Self-contained automa- tic regulating apparatus in the wall of the intestine, Auerbach's plexus or Substation of the autononlic (sympathetic) nervous system, and Meissner,s plexus, governs the gas- tro-intestional function thus: "Gid- dap, hump yourself!" says. Auer- bacl1,s plexus, and the muscle layer of the alimentary canal responds with a contraction, which would amount to collie were it not for Meissner's plexus which calls Easy easy, old girl, steady, noW!" and holds back on the reins just enough to keep her pacing smoothly. This may not be quite accurate, but it will convey some idea of the signi- ficance of tone, resilinecy, poise, fit- ness to function normally.
 It is essential to bear in mind the fact that the conscious mind or will has no direct control over tone, and for that matter no medicine that purpofts to be good tonic has any lasting influence upon tone. Tone is rather a matter of nutri- ton, not just ordinary nutrition but optimal nutrition.

 Experts agree that the woman who takes time out to do relax ing exercise two or three times a day will stay young looking longer than one who continually forges ahead at top speed with muscles tense, nerves on edge.
 Furthermore, really good relax ing routine, done properly, often will be as beneficial as a twenty minute nap. To prove 1t, do this exercise to- morrow afternoon along about three thirty when you have swept and dusted until your arms are tired or taken SO much dictation that you wish you had never seen your office.
 Simply sit well forward on the edge of a straight chair with feet on the floor and arms hanging loosely at sides. Now relax. Relax and let your body slump forward. Relax and slump until your head touches your knees. If you are com pletely relaxed. 1t will not only tOucn your knees put Sllue OVel them toward the floor until your face is resting between them. Make believe that there are weights on your fingertips. Let legs fall apart if they will. Now straighten up slowly.
 Lean against the back of the chair, letting head hang backward as far as possible, mouth open. Turn head slowly to the left. Let 1t fall forward until your chin touches your chest. Turn head to the right, then let it fall backward again.
 When you have finished the sec ond step in the exercise, you'll notice that your arms are comfortable again, that the tense feeling in the back Of your neck has disappeared.

Pork Chops That
 Are Different

Pork chops are g winter favorite with every family, and when cut thick and stuffed with a savory bread dressing. they are doubly ap- preciated. But there is a right and wrong way to prepare theml
 For stiiffing, pork chops should be cut thick, says Inez s. Wilson, home economist, and the pocket should be made by cutting into the chop from the side next to the bone, When cut in this way no tocthpicks will be needed to hold in the dress ing, as the membrane on the bone side of the chop contracts upon heating and closes the pocket, Pork chops after stuffing, are Drowned on both sides in hot skillet, 2 small amount of liquid added. the pan covered, and the chops are cooked slowly until dbne. It IS very important that pork chops be cooked very slowly until thorough ly done, in order to develop the rich, delicious flavor which eyery- one likes.

I, tie in its structure to give us a clue.
The psychologist can take it apart,
but he cannot tell what makes 1t
tick.
AS he takes it apart he finds, as
in every other organ, myriads of
cells, but in the nervous system
they are not all crowded together;
they are separated and hanging In
a medium of jelly. From each one
goes out tendrils, and these, reach
ing into the void around them, make
contact with the tendrils of other
nerve cells and, somehow, in this
way all those magical things, like
| thought and emotion, are born.
These contacts of the tendrils OF
the nerve cells result in the trans
mission of excitation, which is the
nerve impulse. The only known
function Of nerve fibers is to con-
duct impulses. Even SO simple q
piece of brain activity as the deci-
sion to go downtown may involve
millions of these contacts. The num-
Der Of responses concerned in con-
centrated thinking stagger the i'm
agination. Still, they are nothing
but multiplied nerve impulses. Inc
nerve impulse is, as Sherrington,
the great English neurologist, says,
"the universal currency OF the nerv-
GUS system.
One other fundamental feature OF
nervous activity must be understood
the result of rehexes. We VIII
consider the simple spinal reflex arc
in another article this week. Here
I am speaking Of the reflex action
of the brain centers. They depend
upon stimulation from the outside
world. A being born blind, deaf,
without taste, smell or feeling in the
skin would not think because It
would have no material to think
with. Our mental life is the result OF
our sensations of the world around
us. which is our experience,
