THE FIRST CONCERN.
—“Innumerable persons fail to
realize that all of us are engaged
in a continuous battle. Our bodies
are waging an unending struggle
against the devitalizing and disease
breeding bacteria; our brains are
measured daily with those of the
other fellows’ in the fundamental
struggle for economic existence. Yet
in spite of this very apparent situ-
ation thousands of people persist in
submitting their bodies to all sorts
of harmful practices and habits,
lose vitality and shorten their lives
in consequence—and then envy the
man who, because of great vigor of
mind and body, has been able to
win through to success and happi-
ness,
“Jt seems a shame that such a lit-
tle thing as lack of sleep, improper
eating, lack of exercise and harm.
ful excesses should be the means of
depriving so many foolish persons
from their just and happy place in
life. And these things alone are
more responsible for failure and
lack-lustre living than so-called brain
power and business sense.
“It is notuat all surprising with the
marked progress made along SO
many lines that the eternal ‘quest
for beauty and the reluctancy to
accept old age should take modern
and so-called scientific form. Lip
sticks, skin preparations, beauty po-
tions, slenderizing devices, hair dyes,
bleaches, face pealing ointments,
electrolysis, baths, sun-lamps and
colonic irrigation are among the
methods that have in consequence
attained popularity,” said Doctor
Theodore B. Appel, Secretary of
Health, today.
«Of course it is natural to do
everything possible to increase one’s
appearance. On the other hand, it
is extremely easy these days to
rely entirely upon products that are
sold by way of seductive mile-a-
‘minute advertisements.
‘Drug store cheeks, crimsoned
lips, and all the rest of it, whether
it applies to man or woman, are
largely a matter of taste. And
there is no desire to minimize their
possible value as a supplement to
natural attraction provided they are
harmless and used with discretion.
However, the rub most decidedly
arises when people place a hundred
percent reliance upon commercial
beautifiers to accomplish the job
that the observance of the fun-
damental living‘ rules are alone
supposed to do.
“It is certainly more easy and
comfortable to apply the glow of
youth with a cloth than it is to
retain or attain it by sleeping ade-
quately, eating reasonably, exercis-
ing properly, avoiding excesses of
all kinds, and in general, strictly
following a routine that will devel-
op and maintain the highest expres-
sion of vim, vigor and vitality.
But it is not good business to do
So.
It should be emphasized that
those who place their entire faith
in beautifying packages, appliances
and tricks that are alleged to db
the work without any personal as-
sistance are merely fooling them-
selves. Nature does not ask much
in exchange for abundant health,
but what she does demand she in-
sists upon getting if happy results
are to follow,
“Improve your appearance with
commercial products if your fancy
and desire so dictate. But don’t
substitute them for the real thing
which is vigorous health. Beauty
comes from within. And that means
daily attention to the bodily re-
quirements. Nothing less will do.”
— Food for the sick must be well
cooked and with little seasoning.
The doctor will order a particular
form of diet. But he may be so
busy he forgets to give you details.
Perhaps this grouping of diets will
help:
The liquid diet: This consisfS of
a variety of broths, of chicken,
lamb, beef, oysters and clams.
Gruels, milk, buttermilk and malted
milk are included.
Likewise, egg-nogs with various
flavors, cream soups, koumiss, orange
and grape juice are in this group,
as are vegetable broths, cocoa and,
in some cases, tea and coffee.
The soft diet: In connection with
“the liquid diet, one could serve soft
«cooked eggs, milk toast, custards
:and junket, and tapioca pudding.
Also we may include mashed bana-
na or apple beaten with the white
of egg, floating island, rice pudding,
jces, cooked cereals, tomatoes, juice
or soup almost any vegetable puree,
jellied broths, fruit juices, prune
whip and stewed fruits,
The semi-soft diet: This includes
poth the soft and liquid diets as
given, together with solid foods
which can be easily digested. It
embraces tender chicken, oysters,
scraped broiled beef, at the doctor’s
discretion, squab. Any of the;
cereals may be used, and also |
creamed and mashed carfots, spin-
ach, asparagus, celery, peas, beets,
and baked potatoes. It might pos-
sibly include crisp bacon, ice cream.
baked apples and souffle.
The light diet: This might in-
clude all foods we have mentioned,
with the exception of cabbage, dried
peas or dried beans.
This should be

WHY DR. MARY WALKER
DONNED MALE APPAREL.
!
|
| Mrs. Livermore, widow of Rev.
L. A. Livermore, of Lebanon, Conn,
| was for years a friend of the late
‘Dr. Mary E. Walker. Spea of
| that champion of woman's rights,
especially to wear men’s clothes,
, Mrs. Livermore explained just why
Dr. Mary had boycotted feminine
| frillery and fashions throughout her
|long and rather stormy career.
and Mrs. Livermore
| struck up an acquaintance years
|ago, at a railroad station while
| waiting for the clearing up of
| a freight wreck. Dr. Mary was at-
| tracted to the northern woman be-
cause the latter was wearing a
{derby hat, and commented upon
‘that fact. They continued their
chat after the train journey was
resumed, and Dr. Walker told Mrs.
Livermore that it was really loyalty .
to her profession which had led
her to eternally -abjure petticoats
and what goes with them.
In speaking of adopting man’s
garb, she said: “I gave myself
over to aid during the Civil war at
a time when women were wearing
hoopskirts four and even five yards
round, with dress skirts ample to
hang over them. Could I be tram-
meled in my work by any such
contraptions ? Of course, not!
Hence, I donned pants (yes, that’s
what Dr. Mary called ’em!) and
, coat!”
| Many thrilling and appealing
tales had Dr. Walker to tell of her
, welfare work for the suffering
soldiers and others during and af-
ter the war, Faithfully she assisted
in caring for the wounded and dy-
ing. Bravely she conqured her wo-
man’s instinet to faint and tremble
and shudder at the sight of suffer-
ing and blood; and: that she con-
tinued in the heroic work until the
last was evidenced by her medals
for bravery which she prized above
every other possession.
! She told Mrs. Livermore about
one young New Hampshire boy, a
volunteer to defend the union, sur-
viving many bloody engagements,
long marches and hardships, only
to contract consumption in the
southern swamps. Dr. Walker found
him in the hospital, crying to see
his mother. She went to the head
surgeon, begging permission to take
the boy home. The doctor objected,
telling her that the young soldier
would die enroute. But Dr. Mary
was not easily silenced by objections
and she begged persistently, “Then
let him die trying! Let me take
him home!” she urged.
Finally the surgeon yielded. The
young volunteer was laid in Dr.
Walker's arms on the train. That
was the signal for the curious pas-
sengers to nudge one another, to
make eyes at the strangely assort-
ed pair, finally to grow disgusted,
until some of the goody-goody ones
complained to the conductor. Then
and there Dr. Mary Walker proved
her heroism. Rising in the seat,
she said in a ringing voice: “This
young man has given up his life
for our country, Now he is going
home to die in his mother's arms!”
That was enough. The revulsion
of sentiment was immediate, and
until the end of the journey every-
thing possible was done for the
dying youth and his valorous com-
panion.
At one of the stations Dr. Walk-
er telegraphed the boy's mother
and sister: “Edward is coming.
Be calm. He will leave you again
—forever.”

BEAVER’S POWERFUL TAIL

his construction work. Scientists,

the mud, rock or sticks with which
he builds and that he uses the tail
to steady himself,

it from side to side. In the water

FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
Daily Thought. |
Children sweeten labors; but they
make misfortunes more bitter. |
Spring, 1930 model, is better l00k-
ing by miles than she’s’ been for
years. i
This she dramatically proved in
the hardest of all fashion tests—
the Easter parade. !
She proved with sureness and zip
and swish of her cape and a click
of her heels these three fashion
things: :
The new silhouette means clothes
of beauty—more feminine than they |
have been for years. |
The importance of having clothes
agree with each other, called the
“ensemble” idea,
The chance there is for everyone
to be herself—to dress - like an in-
dividual and not like one of an
army. : :
The things worn clearly show

before. She is longer in line. Gone |
are her knees. |
again for a long time—except in
a few sport clothes. Her dresses
go below her knees about four in- |
ches lower than «ney were last
Easter. Her waist line has gone up
definitely to its normal place. |
Her clothes are so ter around her
neck. Materials are finer, more |
feminine. Same way with her hats,
and everything she wears. More fem- |
inine. %
There you have her—the fashion |
woman of 1930. Feminine in her
clothes—but not frilly and fussy. |

FARM NOTES,
—Windows in the University of
Nebraska dairy barn have been
painted blue. This is not to please
the cows’ sense of beauty but to
help fill the milk pails. Covering
the glass openings with blue ala-
bastine keeps the barn darker,
thus making it cooler and freer
from flies.
from barns, stalls, and sheds has
been satisfactory in relieving farm
animals from some of the worry
caused by flies, farmers declare.
Openings can also be covered with
burlap to a considerable advantage.
Windows in the university dairy
barn are so arranged as to open for
ventilation without admitting direct
sunlight. The blue paint with which
they have been coated is easily re-
moved and will be taken off after
the summer is over.
—Chicks to be raised for broilers
or roasters should be fed as other
chicks are up to the time of finish-
ing for their special purposes. What
are called growing mashes and the
usually fed hard grains are given
to produce sturdy frames upon which
fat may be deposited later in the!
finishing process. There are any:
number of formulas for these, all
suitable and each preferred by
some poultrymen. There are excel-
lent commercial mixtures and for-
mulas are given from time to time
in these columns. Broilers are us-
ually sold at from eight to twelve
weeks of age and, during the last
ten days or two weeks of that time
are penned up and fed upon a spe-
cial fattening ration, of which corn-
meal makes up the greater part. If
milk in some form is added in lib-
eral quantity to this ration, the
quality of the product is improved.
—A cold nest with cold eggs will
often cause a good hen to stop
setting. Let her warm the nest
first, then place under her, eggs
that have stood in a warm room
for several hours. A piece of sod
the size of the nest box and about |
four inches thick, turned grass side |
down, will hold the heat, and keep
the moisture from leaving the eggs
too rapidly when hens are setting.
Make a slight rounded hollow in
the center of the dirt then put in a |
layer of chaff or short straw.
—Give your poultry yellow corn,
cod liver "oil, milk and leafy feeds
for vitamines, recommends the poul- |
try department of the New York
State College of Agriculture. Chicks
need vitamines for health and growth
and are more sensitive to a lack of
these vitamines than most animals
Growing chicks need them more
than mature birds. °
Of the three principal vitamines
for chicks vitamine A is found
abundantly in such foods as yellow
corn, green vegetables, cod liver
oil and milk. Lack of this vitamine
in the diet will retard and stunt
growth and will lower resistance to
disease.
Vitamine B which maintains the
health of the nervous system is
found in the outisde covering of
cereals, in green vegetables, and in
milk. A lack of this vitamine af-
fects the organs of digestion and
and the nervous
system.
Vitamine D, or the anti-rickets
vitamine, hardens the bones of
growing chicks and prevents leg
weakness. To prevent rickets feed
cod liver oil or eggs or allow the
chicks to run out in the sunlight
every day. Sunshine has the same
effect on chicks as does vitamine
D in their food. Window glass
filters out the valuable rays of sun-
light so cod liver oil must be fed
when the windows are kept closed
or even when the chicks are out-
side, if the weather is cloudy the
greater part of the time. Feed
one-half pint of cod liver oil to
each 100 pounds of grain and mash.
Unrefined cod liver oil from a reliable
company is just as efficient as re-
fined oil and is much cheaper.
Cod liver oil tends to lose its
value when exposed to the air, so
mix fresh lots of mash every week
or two. Mix the cod liver oil in a
small amount of bran or mash with
the hands and then add this to the
main pile and shovel the pile over
several times until it is evenly
distributed. It is usually advisable
to feed cod liver oil during the first
ten weeks of spring rearing. Cod
liver oil should be stored in a
cool dark place in closed contain-
