though sugar Is quick enerRlzer
it provides nothing else-no pro-
TEN to replace loss, no vitamins,
no minerals. 1t is a highly proc
essed food and everything is taken
out of it but the pure carbohy-
drate. Brown sugar has about the
same qualities and effects. Mo

iron.

cording to "Hygeia," may put a
strain on the pancreas because the
pancreas secretes substance
which is necessary TO enable the
body to utilize sugar. The excess
i've consumption of sugar may also
weaken the protective power of the
liver. Eating sugar alone will
make one feel dull and bilious for
this reason.
1t is good food in connection
with other foods, but this empha-
sis on other foods is a warning for
the youngsters who eat too much
Of it so they have no appetite for
anything else.
Pickering Light
Does a Pickering light, such as
reading on the train or in a car,
weaken the eyes?
1t does no permanent damage to
the eyes, but the constant adjust
anent causes muscle strain and
headache. The comparison might
be made to walking over very
rough or uneven ground. In the
course of time your legs would be-
come very tired in all parts, but
there would be no permanent dam
age. The energy required to do eye
work in Pickering light is out of
all proportion to any possible ad-
vantage TO be gained. There are
indeed some people whose eyes are
Of the kind that they should not
attempt under any circumstances
to do work or reading in a flicker

In what way is Roquefort cheese
different from other cheese? Does
it contain salt?

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
B. M: a. The doctor tells me
that my ten-months-old baby has a
heart murmur. He did say there
was nothing TO worry about and
we would watch it. Will you please
comment?
"2. My husband does not believe
in diphtheria injections. Do you
think they are essential, and are
they entirely harmless?"
Answer: l. Heart murmurs in
children are usually temporary,
especially in a child as young as
this. At any rate, they do not give
any trouble until very late in
adult life.
2. Diphtheria injections, in my
opinion, are essential and harm
less.
