EVENING LBDGERr-PHILADBLPHIA, MONDAY, JUNE 25, 1017 i lMA" SUNDAY'S ADVICE TO WOMEN FURTHER LETTERS FROM NAN GOOD HEALTH TALKS ;ALL FEELING OF GRATITUDE KILLED BY CONSTANT REMINDERS Many Persons Unable to Find Expression for Their Thankfulness "I'm Sorry" the Polite Phrase Now in Use NOTHING bo quickly kills nil feeling of gratitude ns a constant reminder ef the benefits received from the person who Is responsible for giving them. It Is only natural that when we perform a kind or generous act wo want to feci that It has been appreciated, oven though we may not believe In letting the left hand know what the right hand doeth. Yet It li well to remember that thorn are many so constituted they cannot give expression to their feelings, and expect you to understand by ever so Blight a sign that they are grateful. ONE woman I havo In mind Is like this. She 'will accept really consid erable favors with the greatest Indiffer ence, and many times those who do not know her well think hor an Ingratc; yet When opportunity offers sho will lncon Venlence herself not a llttlo to return these obligations. Yet It Is hardly this a return of an obligation. Sho Is so mado that she Is always putting herself out for other people If a girl comes to her, for instanco, with a piece of knitting over Which sho Is struggling, sho will spend hours working out tho stitches for hor. This generosity extends to still greater things. Sho will take upon herself tho support of a friend's child as a matter of course, and not, either, from a senso of "duty" to this friend, but from duty to humanity at large. And, obvcrscly, sho believes others are Imbued with tho samo sentiments, when as a matter of fact too many of ub ex pect to bo patted on tho bacj: for every Unselfish act, and, falling to receive tho hare of applause wo consider ours by tight, wo feel that, alas, we arc not ap preciated! I A WRITER has been singing a requiem -over a phraso which has become vir tually obsolete. It Is "I beg your par don." True, as sho says.

To Can Eggplant and Beets To tht Editor of H'oman's rage: Dtar Madam Will you trll mo through your aelumn. pleaae. whether eggplant nnd beets can M canned tucceitfully and now It Is done? (Mrs.) K. 11. These vegetables can be canned with very satisfactory results. To can the eggplant, pare It, cut In thin slices as you would for trying and drop It In boiling water for fifteen or twenty minutes. Drain off tho water and pack the slices Into jars, cover with water, then after placing the rubber tings around and the lids on loosely, but without putting down the springs, place the Jars In the boiler, leaving a space between each, pour In about three Inches of cold Water, or Just enough to form steam and to prevent the boiler from going dry, put tho cover on the bolter and set on the stove. After tho water begins to boll keep It boll Jng for an hour, at tho end of which time remove the cover of the boiler to allow tho team to escape, press down the springs at the, sides of the jnrs, remove them and allow them to cool. Next day place them again in the boiler and boll for an hour after loosening the springs on the Jars again. Re peat this process on the third day, then set aside for a day or two before testing. This is done by releasing the spring at the side and turning the Jar upside down. If stcrlll cation has not been completed or there Is the slightest decomposition, the top will come off; otherwise It will hold. Beets are prepared by washing, cutting eft the tops, then boiling for an hour or more until they are thoroughly cooked. Then remove the skins, cut In slices and pack Into the Jars, cover with water and CterJItze as you do the eggplant.

It Is "I'm sorry," spoken .ih If ono really infant It. "I'm sorry" carries with It not a plea for forgiveness from tho ono against whom tho offense Is made, but expresses tho contrition of the offender, nnd means more, so It seems to me, than tho for mer pollto phrase. It takes rather for granted the forgiveness of tho other, and Instead dwells on tho abjoct state of tho ono who has Intentionally or uninten tionally caused him unhapplncss or dis comfort.

Twenty-five years' difference Is no small matter, and although many girls have married men so much older than themselves and been very happy, their marriages have been founded on something more than a desire for the luxuries of life.

JOHN HARVEY KELLOGG Holding the Breath THIS has often been mistaken for merely temper, when it Is a nervous ntlllctlon nnd entirely out of the child's control. It Is a disease, rather than a oluntnry action or habit, and should receive the considera tion duo to a wrong condition Tho fact that It so often happens when the child Is angry docs not disprove this statement, as tho physical effects of strong emotions are not usually recognlied by tho mother; they require treatment both from the physical and psychical Bide. Tho excitement of anger often causes spasmodic contraction of the breathing muscles Sometimes n child will suddenly stop breathing and become blue In the face, per haps unconscious. Often no cause can be assigned , somo disturbing Influence has caused the muscles of the larynx suddenly to clote. There is no reason for anxiety, ns tho application ot cold water to the face and chest will usually correct tho Immediate trouble. But a child so affected should be carefully guarded from all excitement and special caro given to his diet Constant re currence of this trouble indicates some constitutional dlsenso, and should receive tho attention of tho physician. Usually tho child Is delicate, supersensttUe, and needs "hardening" by cold baths, out-of-door life Including outdoor sleeping, short sun baths) better bowel moemcnts and attention to his diet. To Itnpnne the Circulation What can a person aged sixty do to Improve his Urrulatlon so ho will not require heavy bed covering? j, c. R. Ho can exercise In tho open air If his heart Is not weak nnd his arteries diseased. He can saw wood, golf, walk, work In a garden. Ho should cat moderately and his diet should consist of plain, wholesome food. Fruits and vegetables are advised to tho exclusion of coffee, meat, fried food and hot breads. The bowels should move freely without the aid of medicines. Two table spoonfuls of bran should bo taken with tho meals. It can bo mixed with cereals or taken In soups or with vegetables. One person's need for bed covers cannot be a guldo for others. People In health vary In their requirements. Hip Reducers Are rubber hlp-reductng garments Injurlout? D. J. Such garments cannot bo recommended. l.xercUca to reduce the hips are healthful and effective. To Reduce Fat and Blood Pressure What food and how much ahould a person eat to reduce fitt and blood pretture? Aro hot or cold bathe best In such a case? A SUDSCItinER. Very meager meals aro prescribed In such cases. Gluten bread, fruits and vege tables. The bowels must bo made to move two and three times dally. Take parafnn oil or petrolatum to lubricate tho Intes tines. Omit from the diet meat, poultry, fish, cheese, cream, butter, all tat, Bugar and bread and breakfast cereals. Eat let tuce, spinach, asparagus, celery, cauliflower, cabbage etc Neither very hot nor cold baths are ad vised when there Is high blood pressure. Take baths of a comfortable temperature. All exertion, exercise or work that la a physical or mental strain should be avoided when there la high blood pressure. Sweat ing baths aro useful and exercise.

Hun dreds of houses aro built every year that aro of the size that could be better heated with hot air; but. Instead, an average of about $300 ni'ire Is spent for hot water. We think that this Is not because money Is bo plentiful, but because tho home builder Is not well enough acquainted with thl-i form of heating Let us, therefore, K" Into the subject In sufllclenl ilotull to understand its theory nnd to bo able to prevent faulty Installation. For warming residences not exceeding 1200 squnre feet nf ground area, the author believes a good furnace, properly set and with hot-air pipes of proper size, suitably located, will gle the best satisfaction, u It Is economical In first cost, easy to manage, costs little for repairs, and furnishes a pleasant and healthful heat at no greater expense of running than for steam or hot water The most common defects observed In furnaco heating nro overheating of the air, vitiating of the air by the gases of combustion nnd Imperfect distribution of tin heat. Tho first two defects may bo entirely avoided If miltlclent care Is exercised In the rejection and setting up of the furnaco nnd In tending tho lire, nnd the last thfect may be reduced to a minimum by a wlso locatloi and proper proportion of the flues and reg Is'ers. Tho caute of the unsatisfactory heating of a great many houses by furnaces is tho refusal of the owner or builder to pay tho necessary prlco for a llrst-class furnace nnd for the best workmanship nnd materials. The same carelessness nnd skin ning that Is sometimes permitted with fur nace work, If permitted on a steam or hot water npparatus, would In most case! pre cnt Its working at nil Furnace heating may bo divided Into two parts, tho production of heat and Its distri bution. Tho former depends entirely upon the furnaco, Its sotting, cold-nlr supply, draft, kind of fuel and attendance. THH FUBNACn In principle a hot-air furnaco is simply a stove or heater Incased with Iron or brick, so at to form an air chamber between the heater and casing The air enters at the bottom of tho chamber parses over the heated surfaces of the boater and Is conducted by hot-air pipes to the various rooms. Tho external surfaco of tho flrcpot and all portions of the heater which receive heat from tho fire or smoko nro called radiating surface.

An In This diagram illus trates in a rough way the method cf hot-air heating. Tho fresh air is taken in through tho cold air opening, thenco it passes to tho fur nace where It is heated, nnd then it rises into the heat ing pipes which carry to the various rooms in tho house. At the end of each heat pipe is a regis ter, either a floor register, marked F. II., in tho diagram, or a wall register, marked W. R. I Vroer, Jq" Mirfaro in proportion to tho sizo of the flrcpot will glvo off tho most heat for a given amount of fuel consumed. As tho nmount of radiating surface largely affects the weight of a furnace, and the latter In a great measure the selling price, It Is ob vious that tho I est furnaces must cost the most. It It truo that ono furnaco may havo Its radiating tmrfneo better arranged than another, so ns to give off moro heat for n less nunntlty of metal, but It la seldom that a very light furnace, particularly If of cast Iron, Is a good henter. Furnaces should bo so designed that the smoKo, nftor leaving tho combustion chamber, must travel around tho radiator ono or more times bo foro finding an exit to tho chimney. With a chimney fluo of proper slto and topped out well abovo the roof. It Is posslblo tr make the smoko travel a long distance and thus obtain great economy of fuel. The best furnaces nro designed on this principle Besides having a largo radiating surface, tho furnaco should havo as few Joints as possible, and ahould bo arranged so ns to bo easily cleaned. Furnaces nre made of cast Iron, wrought Iron and steel, either used singly or com bined. Though thero are oxcollent furnaces made of wrought Iron nnd steel, tho nuthor belle cs that a heavy cast Iron furnaco Is the most durable, and can bo made as tight. Somo furnaces nro mado chiefly of cast Iron, but with air or smoke flues of wrought Iron fitting into cast Iron sockets. This urrangement is not generally approved, as tho two metals expand and contract un equally, thus lending to open tho Joints.

Is ono of the moat gripping literary products of the twentieth century. XXV Dear Kate: I am having the best time of any girl In tho wholo world, Oh, Kate, 1 do love to danco, causo dancing Is Just a saying the nice-thoughts inside ot you with your body Instead of your lips. And I think when you get bettor thoughts you do better work. I know mine is different somehow, causo oven old, fat Casey who never tnrows you a de cent word if ho can holp It, said I'd do. When I used to dance In tho Joints around Fourteenth btreet and over on Eighth ae nuo I danced Just tho things I knew then, which was cafes filled with cigarette smoke, boozo on tho tables nnd putty, bad-faced men staring at mo. My dancing was not good, Just making my feet go, but now I think about other things and I dance the buds coming nut on tho pussy willows, the dogwood blossoms and tho ripples of the lake when tho moon shines on It. I hear the crickets and tho kntey-dlds and tho llttlo peepers from tno pond, and Instead of hard-faced girls puffing cigarette smoko into men's faces, I see Hilly with his curls hanging round his laughing face as ho runs up tho long road to meet me when I como from the station. My body seems to havo grown softer with my feel ings and It bends moro easy and I believe I havo even changed my face. I don't feel that nil the world Is ngalnst mo and that I havo to fight my way through It, cause I know I am loved nnd trusted and there Is always some one waiting for me nt the gate. Why, Kate, It changes your whole llfo to know thero Is some one caring for you who won't try to do you tho first chanco they get, and It it makes such a difforenco In your feelings, it Is bound to make a difference In your actions, nnd that Is the leason when I dance, I sway and bond and turn ns light ns If I was a fairy ono reads about In story books. It ain't dancing, It ain't work. It Is Just telling all tho world I'm hnppy. Dancing In these better places Is not bad for a girl cause tho management don't make you talk to no one and won't let tho men get fresh. Of courso I get a lot of notes and bids to dinner, but I don't mind them cause I have had them nil my life. The only difference now, tho spelling Is good in theso and they nro supposed to come from gentlemen. Yet I tear them up Just as easy as I did the other kind, Mrs. Smith Is always scared about me. I showed er mash noto once and she sure threw a fit, but I tell her she don't need to worry about me. I know how to take care of myeelf all right, as I have been doing It all my life.

I hao been thinking a lot lately about education. Mr. Smith was a teacher In a boy a school In England, and he talks sometimes about tho right kind of learning, and I Bit by and listen trying to hear all I can that will help Billy. Mr. Smith Bays that If a boy has got the right kind of cdu . i-n,.h8 wlu 3u,t naturally choose the right things in llfo. Ho don't bellevo be cause Billy's father and his grandfather aro dips that that Is any reason that Billy should be one. He says, give him the right Kind of schooling and teachers that will understand him or show him what kind of books to read and tell him the great things that have been done by other men, and that ho can do It If he tries, that It will mako him ambitious and he will naturally choose the right kind of a life instead of tho wrong kind. He will go with the right kind of people, Instead of the wrong kind. He wants to make Paul an electrical en gineer, but first he wants him to go to col lege and get a lot of booklearnlng, so when he Is by himself he will be wilting to alt by the fire and read some book he loves In stead of chasing down the Oreat White Way to find amusement He says a man must He Can Dress Better at Less Cost You have to economise on the table, Show him how he can save on his tailoring bills without sacrificing style or fit by having his clothing made here.

"The muslo struck up o. fox trot, and almost Instantaneously the young chap nearest Mamie rose, and murmuring, 'Jiy dance, Is It not?' whisked her off on to tht floor before I fully realized what was hap penlng. "By this time I was bo thoroughly in censed that I could hardly control myself, but, fortunately, I realized that a public restaurant was no place to make a scene. The thought that a good girl, under my escort, should allow herself to bo picked up by a stranger In this free-and-easy way l so enraged me I paid the bill while they were dancing, and, when Mamlo returned to tho table, I told her wo were leaving at once. She protested that Bhe had not eaten her supper, but I was In no mood to arguo, nnd firmly guided her toward the door. "Sho declared I was Jealous, and that thero was no harm In what she had done I If thoso nro Mamie's views of what a good time Is, I am through with her!" Girls, why will you continually cheapen yourselves and lose tho friendship and con. fldenco of worth-while men for the sake of a minute's amusement?
