Your Health,
The First Concern.
There is a story of a woman who
‘was dying of pernicious anemia. Her
physician told her that death was
near and that she might just as well
enjoy herself during the few weeks
she had left. He told her to eat any-
thing she wanted. She had always
had an inordinate craving for pate-
de-foie-gras, which is goose liver. She
decided to eat it to satiety. She ate
all she could the first day and found
herself getting stronger. She con-
tinued eating it daily thereafter. Af
the end of a few weeks she was en-
tirely cured of her anemia, as was
Proven by blood tests. Pate-de-foie-
gras is not the bad food we formerly
thought it to be and it will soon be
taken by many persons on doctors’
perscriptions.
. From Germany have recently come
reports of the satisfactory use of liv-
@r extracts in the treatment of anem-
ia and high blood pressure. I wish
to emphasize the value of giving to
all children, and particularly those
suffering from anemia or malnutri-
tion, some liver at least once a week
and preferably twice.
Liver affords the best example of
a complete reversal of medical opin-
ion but that reversal, as we have seen
is based upon the most careful and
accurate laboratory and clinical ex-
perience. J
Another somewhat revolutionary
discovery has been that diets rich in
protein increase the responsiveness nf
the kidney, lowering the level of cir-
culating uric acid. Thus the bogy
of proteid in the diet is no longer to
be dreaded. The best dietetic treat-
ment for reducing uric acid is a diet
from foods which contain high pur-
ine such as liver, sweetbreads, mush-
rooms, tea, coffee, and chocolate. The
diet should contain an adequate
amount of protein selected from ani-
mal tissue and from peas, beans and
lentils. Of course the physician is the
only person capable of advising the
ill person as to individual dietary re-
quirements.
The advocates of low protein have
been much in the limelight in years
past. Now comes the more praise-
worthy slogan “low carbohydrates.”
Limitation of the intake of sugar "as
great potentiality for good. Indeed,
it may be said that sugar forms fur
“too great a proportion of the modern
diet, partly because it is sweet and is
craved, and partly because it is an
«conomical means of getting energy.
Ten cents worth of sugar supplies
three thousand food-fuel (calories)
whereas ten cents’ worth of rich bread
supplies only one thousand units. But
the excessive abuse of the sugar diet
may cause many ills, such as intes-
tinal toxemia, constipation, obesity,
diabetes, chronic headaches and decay
of the teeth.
The whole matter of protein versus
carbohydrates is receiving a great
deal of study and much is being learn-
ed. From the testimony of explorers
‘we have obtained the following inter-
esting contrast.
The Eskimos who eat meat exclu-
sively have never had stomach and in-
testinal disorders, including contipa-
tion and cancer, while those Eskimos
who have become sufficiently “civiliz-
ed” to add carhohydrates to their pro-
tein diet now show the effects of these
common ills. On the other hand, the
Tibetans who never eat meat but live
wholly on fruit and vegetables and
milk are free from stomach and in-
testinal disorders. Even discounting
other factors, it would appear from
this that either an all-meat or a lacto-
vegetarian diet may be preferable to
one in which both kinds of food are
unwisely combined. I say unwisely
combined for it is certainly the case
that more and more importance is be-
ing attached to combinations in the
diet. There is much testimony to
show that a meat-free diet is not ad-
“visable except in certain diseased con-
-ditions, for it may result in anemia,
‘muscular weakness and loss of physi-
cal vigor. Experiments are now un-
«der way to determine whether, in our
present urban conditions, it is possible
to maintain health on a diet consist-
ing exclusively of meat, as some be-
lieve it to be.
For most people the varied diet is
not only the most healthful, but the
most appetizing, and the practical
household question is how best to
achieve variety and at the same time
keep a proper balance.
In my own practice and in that of
other physicians, excellent results
have been obtained over a period of
years by directing patients to avoid
taking animal proteids and concen-
trated carbohydrates at the same
meal, unless well offset by leafy veg-
etables and fruits. Now this is rath-
er a sweeping rule and if followed:
«quite literally it would exile from the
«dining table many of the favorite food
partnerships such as meat and pota-
toes, chicken and rice, beef and
noodles, eggs and bread. I would not
go so far against the culinary tradi-
tions of our race as to say that we
should never eat these combinations.
People in normal health can of course
«do so if they do not permit themselves
for example to attack the roast, po-
tatoes, bread and sweets so enthusias-
tically that they have no room left
for the salad and the fruit.
The bio-chemical facts are these:
proteids and carbohydrates both acid
formers. Now proteid requires acid
for its digestion. Carbohydrates on
the other hand are hindered in their
digestion by the presence of acid.

FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
DAILY THOUGHT.
Sometimes fate makes a hero of a man,
though he cannot always hold the job.—
Selected.
—During this season of heat all of
us think of dressing for our own com-
fort, but how many of us carry this
thought a step farther and think of
dressing for the comfort of others?
That is a charm secret which has
far reaching possibilities.
For example, a few seasons ago
bright purple was fashionable during
the hottest Summer weather and hun-
dreds of women had at least one pur-
ple frock in their wardrobe. Many
of these frocks were made of astin, |
which was the ultra smart mode of |
the moment.
So much for fashion* * what we
are concerned with is beauty.
Most shades of purple are hot
looking and satin is a hot appearing
material. Reds, bright orange, hen-
na, bright green* * * all are hot col-
ors and should be avoided during hot
weather.
What woman can hope to be at-
tractive on a hot day, swathed in a
frock which is hot both in color and
material? How can she compete with
the girl who wears a sheer, cool ap-
pearing dress of pale green organdie
with crispy trim of a complimentary
pastel shade?
She can’t! The cool, restful ap-
pearing girl will win the prize (what-
ever it is) nine times out of ten. She
wins because she surrounds hereif
with an aura of cool daintiness which
is the very thing that we all seek on
a hot, sticky day.
Therefore, select your Summer
frocks so that they make you deli-
ciously cool in appearance that you
may refresh the tired eye of the pass-
erby if you would be beautiful and
charming on a hot day.
—Paris designers are now appar-
ently paying more attention to the
jewels which accompany them that
they do to the gowns themselves. We
have special jewels for every costume
and for every occasion. And it is a
criminal offense to wear the necklace
designed for your white sports frock
with your pink evening gown. Where
dressmakers once slaved for days
over shirrings and cording and pleat-
ing, they now simply use a large and
handsome ornament, and there your
are.
There is no denying the smartness
and distinction which the right jew-
elry can give. Black and white with
a string of jade beads and a green
dansant handkerchief becomes in-
stantly individual and vastly smart.
Beige may be altogether colorless un-
til one adds a Chanel necklace of em-
eralds with a bracelet to match. Tur-
quoise is another good jewel for beige.
The vogue of pearls seems to be
passing if it has not already done so.
A single string of pearls is demode.
Strings of brilliantly cut crystals are
greatly liked. Gold beads in long
chains are seen a great deal and are
smart when worn three times around
the neck, each loop a trifle longar
than the other. This is a fashion al-
so followed by the long necklaces of
flexible gold which are fitted to fol-
low the neck and then hang about
half way to the waist with a large col-
ored stone.
_ Stones grow larger and larger. It
is fortunate that we need not wear
real ones; only movie queens could
afford them, Imitations are quite as
Smart and perhaps more so. And
there is literally no end to them.
Semi-precious stones are also high in
favor. Red carnelians are extremely
fashionable ‘and are used for rings,
bracelets and necklaces. Rose quartz
which is a lovely soft pink is charm-
Ing againt the right shade of blue
Rock crystals which is so very like
diamonds in its cut, is immensely pop-
ular. Lapis lazuli with its beautiful
blue shadings, chrysophase and jade
for green. tour-maline for pink, ame-
thysts, topaz like drops of honey, and
rubies are all here for the choosing.
The newest bracelets are an inch
wide with colored stones set in filigre
silver. Colored enamel is a new ar-
rival which combines beautifully with
marcasite or black enamel. Intricate
designs are noted in the smarter shops
and stylists tell us this will be a very
Important note for summer. Ar in-
stance is the necklace with a modern-
istic trend which is fashioned of gold
or silver with ones elongaied triangle
set into the base of the one above.
And a bracelet to match, of course.
One must not forget this is an ensem-
ble season.
The outstanding piece of jewelry
of the season is the jeweled buckle.
Chanel is said to have thought of it
first, but no one fails to think of it
now. It is an absolute necessity on
the lace frock and may be of crystals
or of brilliantly colored stones. It
is odd to see a ruby buckle at the
front of a beige face frock, but after
a moment you decide you like it.
The Indian designs in silks which
fashion so many sports frocks have
an echo in the necklace of bright-
colored tiny glass beads which are
twisted in rope effect. Very find gold
and silver beads like woven ropes are
also seen. They have a flexibility
which is greatly liked this season.
Many necklaces have large pendants.
Among the genuine stone jewelry
there are handsome chokers of
chalcedony, rose quartz or aventurine
with a flat pendant at the front.
Many a housekeeper has been puz-
zled to know how to clean the inside
of glass straws so they would be
quite as bright as the outside. Pipe-
cleaners make a perfectly atisfactory
device for this purpose. A package
of them can be purchased at any to-
baco store at a very low price. If
the straws are large, several of the
cleaners may be twisted together.
The pipe-cleaners need not be discard-
ed but can be used many times.
—Instead of putting stiff shoe-trees
into very wet shoes fill them with
crushed newspaper. The paper ab-
sorbs the moisture and helps the
shoes to retain their shape. The stiff
shoe-trees will stretch the wet, pliable
leather and cause the shoes to stiffen.
The very slight stiffness resulting
from drying shoes with paper in them
can easily be remedied by cleaning
and polishing.

FARM NOTES.
—Plenty of clean, fresh water anil h
i barefoot country youngsters and the
protection from flies and heat are
summer necessities for the dairy herd.
—Loafing hens in the farm flock
eat up the profits the busy biddies
make. Good poultrymen soon send
them to the butcher.
| —Dahlias require plenty of water
and close cultivation. Remove sur-
‘plus buds to insure beautiful blooms.
A dressing of bone meal also will
prove beneficial.
{ —To maintain a good milk flow
during the fall months, extra feeding
of green feed or grain, or both, should.
begin now or as soon as pastures be-
| gin to get short.
—Do not take the laying mash
away from hens as it will check pro-
duction and cause early molting. Keep
plenty of fresh, clean water in front
of the flock at all times.
—Order bulbs now for fall plant-
ing. Procure a good supply of cata-
favorite varieties. Early orders stand
a better chance of being filled.
—Roses will need attention this
month. Discourage a too heavy cane
growth by pinching out the tips of
the shoots. Keep all suckers cut out
and remove all dead wood. Mulch
well during the hot weather. Grass
clippings will be good for this pur-
pose.
—As soon as strawberries are ill
picked, start preparing the bed for
next season if it is worth keeping
over. Cultivate, hoe, and fertilize be-
cause fruit buds are formed in the late
summer and fall.
-—If there is quack grass in your
fields cut it before it goes to seed or
it will infest new areas on the farm.
—If you plan on storing grain it
will save money to inspect and repair
the granaries now. FEradicate the
common grain robbers, rats, which
is not such a hard job. Shoot calcium
cyanide into the holes with a dust
gun. The rats will die in these hid-
ing places or will be so overcome that
they are easily killed when they
emerge.
—With harvest time near at hand
farmers are again reminded by State
College entomologists that early
threshing must be practiced to pro-
tect the wheat crop from the Angou-
mois grain moth. Fumigation with
carbon bisulphide in the bins should
follow the threshing operation.
—The popular vegetable, aspara-
gus, should be cultivated during the
summer months even though the
stalks are not producing. Efforfs
along this line will be rewarded next
spring by big, healthy stalks.
—One of the surest methods of in-
creasing the returns from the poul-
try flock will be to cull closely this
summer. As soon as a bird stops lay-
ing she should be sold. If you are
not familiar with culling methods,
consult your county agricultural
agent.
—If the pigs do not have perma-
nent shade, such as that provided by
trees, put up a temporary structure,
say livestock specialists of the Penn-
sylvania State College. This is es-
pecially important for heavy hogs and
vide plenty of fresh, clean, drinking
water in receptacles in which the pigs
cannot wallow.
—Farmers residing in a strip of
land three miles wide and ten miles
long, at Marsh Run, Pa., where farm
crops were totally ruined by last
week’s hailstorm, have been advisad
by experts that the only thing they can
do is to plant buckwheat if they are
to have any crop this season.
Nicholas Schmitz, agronomist, of
Pennsylvania State College, visitéd
the stricken territory with J. H.
Knode, Franklin County farm agent,
and addressed a meeting of farmers
who lost their entire crops. The ejk-
perts said they had never before seen
such wholesale destruction of crops in
this State from hail. One farmer had
200 young trees cut down by the hail.
—Canada thistles are best killed by
some smother crop, and the more thor-
oughly the smothering is done, of
course the more effective the killing
will be. Where a good stand of al-
falfa can be had, that will usually
wear out the thistles. Thorough cul-
tivation of a crop like tobacco should
do serious damage to’ the thistles.
The essential thing is to keep the tops
from growing, and after a time with
this treatment the roots wil be starv-
ed out and die.
If you sow oats on this field the
thistles are likely to overgrow the
oats, so that the crop will be pretty
near worthless. If tobacco will work
well in the farm rotation, that will be
a much better crop, because it would
be cultivated, and hence the thistles
would be kept cut off. In the oats or
other similar grain, they will grow
right up with the grain and no prog-
ress whatever will be made with get-
ting rid of them.
—Savings of thousands of dollars
in buildings and valuable cattle herds
destroyed every year in the United
States by disastrous fires may be ac-
complished in a few years by means
of the fireproof barn, decribed in the
June Farm and Fireside Magazine.
“Ancestral barns that can be pass-
ed on from father to son and on to the
next generation are likely as a re-
sult of successful construction of such
a fireproof barn at Iowa State Col-
lege Experiment Station,” says the
magazine.
If this new tpye of barn proves as
successful as it appears to be, it
will be possible to do this thing at
an expense not exceeding the cost of
frame construction by more than 25
to 50 per cent. The new type of barn
is called a masonry arch barn, which,
as the name revals, is made entirely
of masonry and with the upper story
in the form of an arch. It is built of
tile with reinforced concrete floors
and reinforced concrete ribs in the
roof. Since it is made entirely of
masonry, there will be no expense in
keeping it painted with the exception
of the windows and doors frames.
Made of construction material that is
non-combustible this building would
retard a fire to such an extent as to
prevent ‘destruction and it would en-
able livestock in it to be removed safe-
ly.

IVY POISON SEASON.
This is ivy-poison season for the
city cliff-dwellers who camp and hike
in the open. Victims of the pest are
trying all the old-fashioned remedies,
one after another, in their efforts to
relieve the painful irritation of ivy
poisoning.
W. A. McCubbin, of the Bureau of
Plant Industry, Pennsylvania Depart-
ment of Agriculture, says recent in-
vestigations throw much doubt on the
value of most of these old “cures,”
which include salt, lime sulphur, hy-
0, bluestone, jewel weed, plantain,
nint and grindelia. He recommawds
a new remedy—strong soap, hot wa-
ter, and a stiff scrubbing brush.
According to Mr. McCubbin, a cold
hearted scientist says the value of
most old-time remedies is imaginary,
and their reputation is gained from
the fact that ivy poisoning runs its
course, heals and the remedy last
used is given credit for the cure.
“It is well-established,” he assert-
ed, “that the poisonous property of
ivy is a non-volatile oil which pene-
trates the skin and the underlying
tissues, producing intense irritation
Few persons
are entirely immune to poison ivy and
yet comparatively few suffer severely
from it. The poison is contracted by
contact with the ivy or with other ob-
jects which have brushed through it,
such as shoes or clothing, animals,
tools or sticks. There is little or no
basis for the prevalent belief that

wind carries the poisonous oil and
that susceptible persons contract poi-
son by merely passing a clump of ivy.
“The best cure for ivy poison is a
very simple one, and it is based on
the relation of the skin irritation to
the oil poison. The oil can not be re-
moved with ordinary soap and water,
but it can be washed off the skin by
thorough scrubbing with very hot wa-
ter and strong laundry soap.
“Even after the irritation has start-
ed and the small pustules, or blist-
ers, have appeared indicating pene-
tration of the oil into the skin, vir-
tually all the irritating oil can ‘be
washed out by thoroughly scrubbing
with hot water and soap. The water
should be as hot as possible and the
soap used should be a coarse laundry
type containing considerable free al-
kali. A piece of pumice stone or a
stiff brush is a valuable aid and sev-
eral washings should be given the in-
fected part of the body.”
“Susceptible persons will find that
after exposure to danger prompt and
thorough scrubbing of all exposed
skin surfaces will readily remove the
oily poison before it has had time ‘to
penetrate, preventing the unpleasant
effects of a well-developed case of
poisoning.”
