Salads Valued as Food
Ever Since Biblical DAYS

Since Biblical days salads have
been known and valued for their
health-giving qualities. There are
records that show that the Egyp-
tians cultivated such salad foods as
onions and garlic, and the Romans
in ancient times enjoyed lettuce and
chicory.
Today we are urged by food spe-
cialists to eat some fresh, raw vege-
tables and fruits each day, as they
are known to be excellent sources
of vitamins and minerals. Salads
offer such splendid opportunities for
variety that they might be consid-
cred the most logical place to in
clude the use of both vegetables and
fruits in the daily food require
ments. Salads may take so many
different forms in meal that vari-
ETY. is no problem; they can be used
as an appetizer, the main dish or
dessert, or they may accompany
the dinner course.

Medium Blue-Gray Walls

A living room with an atmosphere
of delicate charm was created
through the medium of subtly tinted
paint and fowery chintzes. The
walls and woodwork were painted a
lighter than medium gray-blue. The
ceiling was coated sand color to
match the carpet. Full length dra-
peries with scalloped cornices are
the same tint. The two deep love
seats at either side of the hearth
are covered with deep rose quilted
chintz, thickly patterned with a field
flower design in pale blue, yellow
and green. The front of one wing
chair is upholstered with the same
chintz-its back and side match the
draperies. Another wing chair is
done in soft medium green. A broad,
restful chimney space above the
mantel holds no picture or other dec
Grafton except for a low white vase
kept filed with white and rose col
ored flowers. A white Staffordshire
dog guards the mantel at either
end. The furniture is of 18th CEN
fury mahogany.

Attitude of the Community

Before any attempt is made to
establish a small hospital or a med
ical center, it is important to edu-
cate the local public to the need for
such an institution and to enlist their
support and cooperation. How the
building is to be financed and who
will pay its operating costs are
questions which should be faced be-
fore any attempt is made to build.
An intelligent and philosophical
committee should be chosen whose
duty it will be to get definite answers
to the following questions: ~ Does
the community favor a medical cen
ter project? (2) Can suitable site be
agreed upon and secured? (3) What
will it cost, or is there a citizen
who will donate the site? (4) Is the
county, or other local unit willing
and able financially-to levy suf-
ficient tax to build and maintain
the center? (5) Is there person or
group of persons available who can
be trusted to administer the center
properly? eff such questions can be
answered satisfactorily, and if the
community is intellectually be-
hind the project, then it will be safe
to proceed with the establishment
OF an adequate medical center.

Better Business Men?
Goods, Men Disagree

Despite feminine effort to con-
vince them of the opposite, men
still believe they make better bust
ness executives than women, &C.
cording to a study Of 500 college
students made at the Pennsylvania
State college.
Men interviewed believed that
there is no excuse for suicide, that
rich people are happier than poor
people, that people with high ideals
have fewer friends than those with
lower ideals, that an unpopular per-
son could become popular by low
ering his standards of conduct, and
that person is often a failure be-
cause of high ethics. The co-eds
tested believed the opposite of all
these.
The girls, however, believed that
getting the breaks is more impor-
tant to success than being well
qualified, that college education is
nevertheless essential to success,
that prize fights before paid audi
ences should be forbidden, that par
ents should not slap or whip their
children, and that a married couple
needs at least 5000 month to sup
port and educate two children.

Lynn Says:


Vital Statistics: There are
about seven inches in the Nutri-
ton Yardstick which bear check
ing every day in every way so
as to keep you and your family
in the running:
The first inch includes milk: !
pint per day for every adult and
l quart for every child. Of
course you don't have to drink
all this milk. Use part of it in
cooking.
Second honors 60 to meat, fish
or poultry, and this is not hard to
use up. For lunch or dinner,
whichever fits best for your FAM
lily, one serving per person should
be counted.
At least one egg day or at
least four to five per week marks
the third inch. Have it for break
fast or toss it in the hot bread for
dinner, or custard for lunch.
Cereals important, too. Serve
1t in the breakfast, or a pudding
or even cookies. Bread and rolls
come under this category, also.
Fifth inch includes the vegeta-
bles: two besides potatoes, one
should be a leafy vegetable
spinach, lettuce, broccoli, ro-
maine, etc.-and the other raw.
Cabbage is perfect.
Now, the fruits. Two a dag

Salt and Health

Salt is an essential and promi-
nent constituent of the blood and of
other fluids Of the human body. It
performs important functions in the
body and from it hydrochloric acid
Of the gastric juice is formed. It
also is chiefly responsible for the
normal solvent power and osmotic
pressure of the blood and other body
fluids. The administration of sodium
chloride (salt) in some form has
been shown to be beneficial to work.
men who are exposed to conditions
Of unusually high temperature and
humidity. A small amount of extra
salt being harmless to the majority
of individuals if taken with sufficient
fluid, it has become a common prac-
tice in industrial plants to urge the
taking of a small excess of salt dur
ing hot weather. The loss of salt
through perspiration is a contribut-
ing factor to heat exhaustion.

Taste Determines Quality

The quality of cream in many
cases is largely determined through
the sense Of taste and smell. The
taste buds extending only part way
back on the tongue are extremely
sensitive to only five major tastes;
namely, sweet, sour, soap, bitter
and salt. The really delicate sense
of taste is in reality a sense of
smell. In order to properly taste
cream it is necessary to place a
generous portion well back on the
tongue, press it against the roof of
the mouth to hasten warming, and
hold it there at least ten seconds
to permit the real flavor Of the
cream to evaporate and the sense
If smell to function. Expelling the
,ream quickly from the mouth does
not permit time for warming and
evaporation, and almost certainly
prevents detection of oily flavors.
Too many cream graders fail be-
cause they are not familiar with
the fundamental mechanism of the
sense of taste.

Camouflage Colors

Color is probably the least impor-
tant consideration in camoulage.
Because Of the great altitude from
which an object is seen or photo
graphed in wartime, the colors fade
out and in the haze of distance and
the eyes usually resolve the whole
pattern of a field into common
color. A forest, for instance, will
appear dark olive drab in color;
fields will blend into a brown or tan.
1t is important, however-wher
camoufiaging important objects-to
consider the tonal values that will
be encountered in photograph and
obtain Q fairly close color match

No Omcial Uniform

In the early history Of our navy
the sailors had no official uniform.
Prior to 1852 a seaman could orna-
ment his uniform as he fancied and
some of them embroidered designs
on their collars. So far as can be
ascertained there is no significance
to the two stars on the jumper, but
they appear on all jumpers since
800 and probably were adopted be-
,ause they were the most pleasing

of the conversion program for the

try.
Today, makers Of furniture all
over the country are rapidly chang
ing over their tools and facilities
not only to the production of wooden
airplanes and elders, but to a wide
variety Of other war items. Prime
contracts and subcontracts held by
the industry exceed $500 ,000, 900. APP
preciable increases in the rate of
production of war goods are expect
ed to be evident by the end Of 1912.
The rate of war production by the
middle of next year is expected to
be equal to the recent annual pro-
duction of civilian items.
War equipment soon to be pro-
duced in quantity by metal furni-
ture companies includes ammuni-
ton boxes, tail and wing assemblies
for airplanes, rear fin struts, and
seating equipment for planes, tanks
and ships. The industry, of course,
will continue to make types of metal

ices here and abroad.

Veritable Victory
rNI CHRONICLES 90: ii, 12) we

TNI CHRONICLES (29: ii, 12) we
read: thine, o Lord, is the great
ness, and the power, and the glory,
and the victory, and the majesty:
for all that is in the heaven and in
the earth is thine; thine is the king
dom, o Lord, and thou art exalted as
head above all. /. In thine hand is
power and might; and in thine hand
it is to make great, and to give
strength unto all"
Christ Jesus realized clearly the
allness of God and the powerlessness
of evil. Always the Teacher was con-
ffdent of victoryl Had he accepted
even the possibility of defeat, there
would have been no resurrection.
In our Masters thought there was no
defeatism, no fear, no cowardice, no
doubt, no confusion. AS his followers,
we too can be confident at all times
and under all circumstances of a
decisive and complete victory over
evil, whether it be sin, sickness, lack,
war, or death itself. =.
The real man is not conscious of,
nor subject to, war, disease, famine,
persecution. Man lis spiritual, and
because he is spiritual, dwelling con-
tinually in the realm of Love, he is
indestructible, eternal, incapable Of
experiencing sin, sickness, sorrow,
or death. Neither bomb nor bullet,
disease nor death, can destroy man,
Gods spiritual idea. To understand
these spiritual truths brings release
from human suffering, protection
from danger, and the God-given abil-
ity to conquer all evil.
Mary Baker Eddy tells us in "Sci-
ence and Health with Key to the
Scriptures" Up. sly: cat all times
and under all circumstances, over

and God will supply the wisdom and
the occasion for victory over evil.

erous blows, and enables one to face

hilated and the total victory won.

Baths of Ancient Rome
Won Well Merited Fame

The great appreciation which
Romans had for public and private
hygiene is characteristic of them.
Plutarch had already remarked that
prophylaxis was the foremost duty
of the physician. The remains Of
the ancient aqueducts and baths are
mute evidence of the vast, organ
lied sanitary achievements in the
capital of the ancient world. From
nine directions the aqueducts con-
verged on Rome and furnished
about 80 gallons a head daily. How
ever, the water was not piped into
the poorer sections of the city.
There the streets smelled of the con-
tents Of the vessels emptied out the
windows, even from the top floors.
While the practice Of swimming
the Tiber thrice daily in order to
inure ones self had existed during
early Roman times, it was custom
airy during the period of the empire
to visit the public baths, writes a
correspondent to Cha Symposia. In
Rome alone 300 of them were open
to the public. The largest ones are
the Baths of Caracalla, which were
also rendezvous for athletes and
idlers. In the midst of a large park
(about Is acres) was the main
building. First one entered the gym
nasia, where the most famous ath-
letes were pictured on the mosaic
floors. Then the rooms for cold,
lukewarm and hot baths, inunctions
and massage were visited. There
the famous Farnesian Bull was To-
Gated and the walls were decorated
with many works of art. Although
members of the same family did not
battle together in early times, this
custom developed later. Even
strangers bathed together,

which fills all space, and the UNDER
standing of this fact exterminates all
that is unlike good. -.
Victory over evil rests solely upon
the understanding that evil is unreal,
and that God, good, is All. Love
must always triumph over hatred,
Truth over evil, Spirit over matter,
and divine Principle over aggression
and treachery.
Only as brotherly love replaces the
evil suggestions of lust, greed, hatred,
aggression, racial prejudice in mortal
consciousness will wars forever
cease. No dictatorship, no sin, no
disease, no so-called material force,
has power to destroy or intimidate
one who clearly discerns spiritual
reality. His stronghold is Truth,
which is indestructible. Whether the
problem to be solved is that of dis
ease or death, war or persecution,
there must be no yielding to the
enemy, the belief in evil as real.
Matter cannot hide or defeat Spirit
or Spirits expression, man, for evil
is not the master of good.
Jesus enemies cruciffed him in the
effort to destroy the good which he
taught and proved; but Jesus rose
