 Two short, short travel stories one pleasant; Once upon a time there was a girl who-although she had known for four months that she'd have a two week summer va cation - did not make any plans for 1t.
 She didn't even decide where to go until the Friday before her vaca- tion began. From then on she dash ed about buying necessities in helter skelter fashion.
 She had to work late on the day of departure and so had to cancel the appointment to have her hair washed and waved. She packed in a great rush, not bothering to put layers of tissue paper between the folds of her clothes and forgetting completely several fairly important items.
 By the time she got on the train she was worn out. Without bother- ing to wash her face or pin up the back ends of her struggling locks, she tumbled into bed.
 HOW TO START
 Came the dawn. And with 1t the
 Came tn edawn. And with it the scramble through two suitcases in effort to locate cleansing cream, toothbrush, comb and makeup, some of which just couldn't be found. Our heroine finally managed to put everything back into her bags dress and get off at the proper sta- tion. The look of concern on the face of her hostess and of surprise on the face of the hostess attrac- tive brother only confirmed her own suspicious that she looked much the worse for a nights travel. And it took almost the full two weeks time to live down the bad first impress sion she had made.
 But here's the story of another vacationer "a girl who really knows how to get of to 8 flying start for any summer holiday. Nobody ever looks concerned or puzzled when SHE arrives. They say to themselves, Thank good ness Mary's here. Now the fun can really begin"
 Why?
 MARY IS SMART
 Because Mary plans her vacation months in advance, shops for holi- day clothes and makeup two or three weeks beforehand, doesn't make last-minute appointment with the hairdresser and packs the night before, not the day of depar- ture. She gets on the train fairly rested and minus case of jitters. She has a makeup case into which all of her creams are tucked. Tn addition, she carries bottle of friction lotion for a quick morning sponge bath. her own soap, some little cotton discs which become washcloths when dipped in water, and cleansing and night cream in handy capsules.
 She looks and is, calm and poised when she gets off the train. Her problem never is to correct first impressions = only to live up 1 to them.

PSYCHOLOGY OF DIGESTION
 Many of the erroneous ideas of doctors and laymen in reference to food and digestion were based on the limited scientific knowledge our forefathers had of these things. Perhaps that is the reason why such fallacies persist, in the minds of laymen and some physicians, long after their unsoundness has been shown by scientific investigation, and proved by experience. It takes many years to persuade the rank and file of the medical profession to &C., knowledge some traditional medical theory or belief was wrong after its falsity has been established to the satisfaction of reasonable mind. And even after the doctors begin to discard the shattered belief and practice, 1t takes many more years for the general laity to catch on.
 For example most people and not . few physicians imagine certain foods are "indigestible" or difficult to digest and other foods are easy to digest, and hence that foods se- lected for invalids or for persons with any disorder involving the di- gestive organs or functions should be of the "easily digested" class and foods difficult to digest" should be excluded from the diet.
 There is room to mention only 6 dozen of the fallacies in reference to food and digestion which are ac- cepted as facts by many laymen and some physicians:
 The fallacy that one with albu-
 ninuria must not eat white of
 egg.
 Tho fallacy that the liberal use
 of meat in the diet favors or
 causes "acidosis.'
 The fallacy that certain foods
 form nucus."
 The fallacy that fresh or hot
 bread, soda biscuit, pancakes
 and biscuit made with baking
 powder are not digestible.
 The fallacy that fried foods are
 indigestible.

 genous materiaD of animal or
