A HOOSIEK JOINS THE
BREAKERS

All antique medical and modern
quack and noStrum literature to the
contrary Notwithstanding, there is
no such condition as "autointoxica-
ton" or poisoning of the system
from delayed Or insufficient evacua-
ton of the bowel
This morbid obsession is by no
means absent from what purports
to be current medical literature.
But whenever il does crop UP in
modern medical works it is pretty
obviously dragged in to cover the
authors ignorance Or to help pad
the book. Present day medical
books carry prodigious quantities of
padding--you see, they sell by the
foot or pound.
For example quote from one
of the least padded books published
in 1941-"Manual of the Diseases
of the Eye" by Charles H. May, M.
D.-the following statement on the
cause of chorciditis inflammation
of a membrane between eyeball and
Retina back OF the eye:
ut may depend upon septic
injection from the teeth, tonsils,
nasal and nasal accessory, sinu-
ses, or any ether septic focus, OF
upon intestinal auto-intoxication;
many cases with obscure are
spoken of as ioiopathic"
Idiopathic, by the way, is an i'm
pressive word meaning the disease
originates without apparent cause.
Naturally this occurred to the au-
thor quoted, Immediately after the
flight of fancy regarding "autoin-
toxication".

Hundreds of thousands of new
lunch boxes are now being packed
Ill American homes every day for
our vast industrial army. That's a
sign Of the times.
But an awakened sense of the
part nutrition plays in cur war
effort is another sign of the times.
Any old thing won't do. He must
have a well-chosen variety with
appetite appeal. And his luncheon
should be varied from Gay to day.
For example, occasionally include
a steaming hot cream soup (they
hold the heat longer than clear
soups in a thermos bottle; a raw
vegetable salad i'll an empty jelly
jar.
Vary the meat sandwich from
time to time, bL>, always include
no less than two hearty sand
wiches for each lunch. In making
sandwiches, use day-old bread and
make a filling that will not soak
into the bread and cause it to be-
come Soggy
The favorite sandwich for men
Is cold SLICED roast beef. Slice it
thick, spread slices Of bread with
mixture of half mayonnaise and
half mustard, add a large leaf of
crisp, dry lettuce, chopped pickle
or pickle relish, top with the cold
roast. These are the markings of a
hearty meal. With the roast beef
sandwich pack bottle Of cold DO
tato salad, an orange, pint Of
milk and pie.
NEAT LOAF ON RYE
Another good combination for
hungry men is sliced meat loaf
sandwich, Save three or four thick
slices Of meat loaf. Use rye bread,
butter, slices of sour pickles and
meat loaf. In a thermos bottle pack
steaming hot cream Of tomato
soup. With this go three or four
strips of celery, potato chips, a
bottle Of milk and a large slice of
chocolate cake.

BY a combination of curious cir

owner OF a large slice of a night
spot, the Hurricane Club. This
draws two other people into our

booked them thinking they were
single folks. But more of that later.
Dave had no idea of ever owning
a night club, a business of quaint

If any psychology is concerned in

is the simplest psychology conceiv-

Any one who has read Or delved
into such classics as Cannon's

great is the influence of the emo
tons upon stomach and intestinal

WOMAN'S REALM :
Clarifying
Yourself
NEA Service Staff Writer
BY Alicia Hart


Before buying your Easter suit
or selecting your Golf or makeup,
look over the cast of characters
you'll find in the spring fashion
previews, and get a clear mental
picture of the one you want to
look like.
This is truly essential in these
days of increasing Standardization.
FcT the more typed" your clothes
are, the more urgently your peace
of mind and your good looks require
that you select the right type.
So make up your mind. Are you
the old-fashioned, soft and frilly-
feminine kind? Then consider bangs
with your short haircut, organdy
blouses, and the lovely new flower
laden costume jeWelry.
Or does the casually tailored
model always strike your fancy
through direct personal appeal?
If so, notice her in tailored suits
with plunging necklined rayon
blouses which she wears also with
dinner Stacks instead of dinner
skirts. And her little turbans, made
of, or wound on her head from, a
great variety of colorful materials.
To be dramatically, sophisticat-
edly attired, study the costumes
composed of suit, wide collared
open-at- the throat shirt, exotic hat.
This type wears slim evening
gowns, and even her daytime walk
ing working shoes are stamped
with her particular style.
OF course, you needn't dress to
one type only, nor to the type Of
woman you are by nature. Many
women deliberately select several
roles to play with their clothes,
and many select one rolc which is
not what they feel they are but
what they want others to take
them for. That takes a good deal
of skill and thought. It's kind OF
postgraduate performance.
