 There may be more truth than poetry in the aphorism ascribed 10 my nameSake Diamond Jim: Them as has 'em wears 'em."
 But. no kidding. this is a princi- pie oi hygiene. preservations of health. which applies to infants boys, girls. youths. and mature men ana women alike: The more one exposes the body and the more of the body one exposes to sunlight or daylight without suffering actual alscomiort, in any season, climate or weather, the better for health.
 A frequent objection raised by grandmas particularly is that it mus be harmful to a girls health II she goes bare legged or so thinly clao that her skin gets blue with tne cola or shows goose pimples. We need not go into the details of Grandmas interpretation of the pathology of such exposure. can only reassure the girl who gets blue rom tpe cold or shows the charac- teristlc goose pinples, that her health will not suffer in the least It Is absolutely okeh as long as she herself doesn't mind the discom- fort.

 Goats Milk
 Husband bought a goat and we are drinking the milk. Our children are fond of it. But wonder if there Is danger of getting any dis ease. (urS n OI
 Answer-1f the goat is healthy ana well cared for you are fort unate to have such excellent food. Tn many communities fresh goats milk brings premium price. I'd take 1t, raw, in preference to any grade of cows milk, and not worry about the remote possibility of un- dulant (Malta) fever.
