When it comes to desserts, have you ever realized what a gold mine of menu assistance there is in that can of red pitted cherries that rests on your pantry shelf? While many bomemakers limit their use of this popular 1rnt to the nations favorite desscrt-Cherry Pic there are truly scores of recipes wherein cherries may play 8 stellar role.
 Refrigerator desserts. salads, cakes, fritters, dumplings. cobblers. mullins, gelatin desserts and buildings are but g few of the mary delightful recipes whose color. appearance and taste are greatly enhanced by the addition of cherries, whose tart sweetness provides a pleasing contrast to other foods.
 Since the fresh cherry season is such Q short one, homemakers can be thank full tha. commercial canners today are able to prepare and can cherries to such perfection that they equal the fresh fruit in taste. flavor and appearance.
 Since this is the month that we ob- serve George Washington's birthday, and. of course, recall the cherry tree episode, it is a logical time to take stock of your file of cherry favorites. February is also an ideal time to enter tain the bridge club or start paying social debts. so you'll have many occa- sions to call upon the following cherry desserts.

WHO SHOULD KNOW PHYSIO-
 LOGY

Even outright flattery sometimes serves a good purpose. For instance in moment when I was taking it on the chin the other day came letter from Mrs. N. w. who says: For years have followed your column in our newspaper. You have indeed been an education to me and there are not words to tell you how much you have helped me; not only from the standpoint of health but in the entire business Of life
 And so on for several paragraphs, and no wonder I burst into tears when Mrs. N. W. works up to this: You love to speak the truth with out caring for or fearing the con- sequences.
 I was glad the lady couldn't see the state of my chin just then.
 This compliment of Mrs. N. W.s reminds me of a letter I received from a medical colleague, oh, many years ago, of course, in which the good doctor expressed his envy of my position, for, as it seemed to him, could tell the truth and still remain in phint where as he must perforce tarradiddle or deceive his patients and the public more or less in order to remain in practice.
 Recently in an article got my dander up to the point of saying;
 If the reader has any confidence in the soundneSS of my teachings in the field of hygiene, physiology and health, let me repeat that in my belief and opinion consti-. patton never causes any of "the disorders from which civilized man suffers"
 The response on the part of read CTS was characteristic of the two views or schools of thought. First, the morbid, interpretive, or neu- rotic view, as in this letter:
 T have found your advice gen. orally sound and practical but sometimes you make yourself ridiculous in your attempt to convince thousands of sufferers that their troubles are only ima-
 ginary. You ask us to believe that
 all other doctors who consider standardization common factor of ill health are wrong and you are right :"
 Second, the sane or rational view, as in this one:
 T want to thank you for free
 ing me from the physic habit and
 8 whole train of minor complains
 which evidently accompanied the
 use of laxatives had suffered
 since childhood, but have been
 entirely free now for over year,
 thanks to your help.
 I am saddened and chagrined when readers feel constrained to tell me my teachings about the constipation habit are so abSurb, not because it matters if they think they know better than do about the subject but because such a re- action shows that my ability as a health teacher is not what 1t should be, after the many years of experience I have had in the field of health education.
