Pain, Sickness and Disease
Aside from accidents. If we lived In harmony
with nil health laws, would we be euhlert to
pain sickness or disease' i.OUISfi II
Certainly wo would, becauso wo aro
struggling along under an enormous bur
den of heredity that wo cannot shako off
In ono generation or In 100 generations
There Isn't nny question nt all that wo
hno certain entailments of dlscaso that
wo nro subject to that must necessitate
moro or less of sickness nnd suffering. But
It Is, nccrtjcles3, truo that by far tho
largest sharo of miseries and maladies aro'
tho natural results of our wrong habits of
life.
Buckwheat as a Food
I there any objection to buckwheat ns a
food? JEAN.
No; buckwheat Is wholesome It Is not
so good a food as some of tho other cereals,
but It Is a wholcsomo food. There nre a
few peoplo who find some Incomenlenco
from tho Ubo of buckwheat Whencer they
use buckwheat they aro troubled with skin
eruptions, with burning and Itching, and
It Is objectionable to somo pooplo on that
account Such persons are sensitized to
buckwheat and must aold It. Tha princi
pal objection to buckwheat, howoer. Is tho
way In which It Is cooked nnd served Orld
dlo cakes soaked In burned grease and
smothered In cano sugar sjrup or glucose
nre roost unwholesome.

tnken seriously,
then wo aro fac

season. They tell
us that this will
be the most radi
cal of the style
chnnpes to bo In
troduced in tho
advent of fall
models. Which
may be welcome
news to those
women who look
just as well in a
back - buttoned

will surely brlnj
tears of dismay
to the woman of

The stout woman
may find some
comfort in the
thought that fall
fctyles announced
in August do not
always become
tho leading modes
of September nnd
October. It all
depends upon the
wearers them
selves whether a
mode is to be
come popular, and
the wearers of
women's attire
beijjg creatures
of such varinble
likes nnd dislikes

can do no moro

PATSY KILDARE, OUTLAW
By JUDD MORTIMER LEWIS
Showing Off
SCHOOL began about aa usual todny. I
got there first and tho boys didn't seem
to want to play with Rowdy and mo and tho
girls wouldn't, except ono llttlo girl and she
didn't play with mo long, for another girl
called her nway. A big girl camo up with
her arm around another girl and tho other
girl's arm wnB nround her. Sho said to me,
"Is that the best dress you've got?" I smiled
nnd said, "Yes, this Is tho best dress l'o
got Don't you think It Is kind of a nlco
dress? Let's us threo play hopscotcb. Want
to?' Tho other girl turned up her noso
and tho one who had spoken to ma said,
"Do jou knov that your dress Is soiled?'
I said, "At least my neck Is clean." She
said, ".He jou speaking nbout mo?" I said,
"Mew, no I am spcnklng nbout mo. If
I wero tweaking about you I would say j-ou
had freckles and that you havo bad teeth
and big feet, but I hopo I nm too much of a
lady to speak that wny npout a nrco llttlo
girl llko jou" Sho did not know what to
saj The other girl said, ' Come on. Sho Is
no good " They turned nway and I said,
"Good-bv, Red." she being redheaded Tint
made her msdder than ecr and I don't sup
pose she will ever speak to mo now.
After rctess we all went Into ono big pom
and uiv tencher told a fairy story nnd then
tho children spoke pieces She said to me
away ulong toward tho last, 'Can't jou do
nnj thing, Patsy?" I said, "Yes, ma'am."
Then iiowtiy nnti i wnmcu out 'to tno plat
form nnd I did a turnover endways, which
made them all catch their breaths. Then I
walked ncross tho platform on my hands
and all tho tlmo tho teacher was telling ma
to stop. My dress wns In front of my eyes
and I walked off tho platform, because I
could not see. I sat thero on tho floor look,
lng foolish till my teacher got to mo and
nsked mo If 1 was hurt. I said, "j;0
ma'am" The children, wero all chppine
their hands nnd my teacher said, "This la
not a audcllIo performance. Can't you
spenk n piece?" I said, "Yes, ma'am." Then
I bowed nnd said:
The Irish, the Irish, they don't amount to muoh.
Uut thev nre a wholo lot better than the dJnV
dang Dutch. UJn
Tho children nil clapped their hands and
when I looked at my teacher sho was xery
red In tho faco. Then tho school was' dis
missed. At night I was good -and tired and I had a
mind to let my mother say my prayers for
me, but 1 thought sho might bo busy, so I
prnjul, "Dear mother, I'm not much of a
success hero and If you think my father
could get along nil right without me I nm j
perfectly willing to bao you come for me.
Red wouldn't play with mo todaj-. What do
j-ou Jtnow about that? If clod will flx it un
so tho children In bacn will pity nm, m
yiu can't come nny too soon, but not unless
I can bring Rowdy. Auien."

Dear Madam I am a young man of twerfty
two. but have not mlnaled much in society I
hae met a younK lady recently who baa been
yery pleasant, to ma and I would like to show
her some little politeness though I would not
want her to think I am In love with her, as I
am not, and I do not think she tins any sentl-
m'nUl.,?.',trc5 6n..,or. me- Il0w ""Id I "howr
her a little attenttonl Jin.
Send her an occasional box of bonbons,
soma pretty flowers at another time, or a
book now and then. Also Invite her to go
with you to tha theatre or to tho moving-
picture shows several times In the year.
These are any of them rather Impersonal
attentions and are always appreciated by
tha girl.

Lime Water
I hae been talOnir lime water diluted after
each meal for some time. Would jou recommend
me to continue It? rllAN'Cn W
No It Is better If jou need an alkali
to talto a llttlo soda In water an hour or
two after the meal. It Is better to take
soda to relievo excessive gastria acidity
than to suffer the Inlury done by tho acid;
but tho proper thing to do la to get rid of
the neidlty by removing tha cause. You
should seek medical advice.
The Mixture of Foods
Is It better to eat each dish separately or to
mix tho dltlerent foodsT DOINSTHEA.
It doesn't make any difference ; they will

over a essel of boiling water and rocred
as tightly as possible. Good results may
be obtained by uso of a steam coolter.
As poon ns tho product Is rcmocd from

dip hardens and conserves color nnd flavor.
Tho product should ba packed carefully
Into hot Jars as soon as removed. In
tho case of fruits, boiling hot sirup or hot
water In then added. In tho caso of vege
tables hot water usually Is used and salt
Is added for seasoning. The scalded rub

be tightened until completely closed.
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS AND
SUGGESTIONS
Mold may develop on canned goods If tho
seal Is defective, It, after sterilizing, the tops
aro removed from tha Jars to replace the
rubber rings, and If the Jars aro kept in a
damp placo whera the rubbers may decom
pose. Shrinkage may occur during sterilisation
because of Improper and Insufficient blanch
ing nnd cold-dipping, careless packing, poor
grading, sterilizing for too long a period
or lack of Judgment In the nmount and
size of product put Into tho container.
nianchlng. Tho proper wny to blanch
all greens or potherbs is In a steamer or In
a vessel Improvised to do the blanching In
steam bdovo tne water line. If this Is done.
a high percentage of mineral salts and vola
tile oil is retained In tho product.
"Flat sour." Canned corn, peaa, beans
and asparagus may show no signs of spoil

tasto and a dlsagrccablo odor. This specific
trouble Is known as "fiat sour," and can be
avoided If tho canncr will uso fresh product,
that is, ono which has not bcon gathered
moro than five or six hours, and will
blanch, cold-dip and pack one Jar of product
at a time and place each Jar in tho" canner

PRACTICAL experience In canning a few
Jars will equip the housewife with knowl
edge enough to go ahead all summer In tha
work. Later recipes will be based on the
one-period cold-pack method, but the other
methods water-seal and steam pressure
require the same preliminaries hare de
scribed. Blanching and prooaaalng times
for all methods, however, are given In the
table which appears today, and, housewives
who own such outfits should save tha table,
which has been prepared, after careful tests,
by the National Emergency Food Gardens
Commission.
PREPARATIONS FOR CANNING
First stapa In, canning consist In prepara
tion and cleaning of containers and io prep
aration pf products to ba canned by wash
ing, paring, trimming and cutting Into pieces
where division la necessary.
Clean hands, clean utanalls, clean, sound,
fresh products and pure, clean, soft water
are essential. No vegetables or fruits which
are withered or unsound ahould be canned.
If possible, only frutta and vegetables picked
the day of canning should be used. Peas and
corn, which lose their flavor rapidly, should
be canned within five hours If a choice
product la desired.
Before preparation of tha products ' Is
begun tha containers should ba washed. It
glass or crockery Jars are used, they should
ba placed In a vessel of cold water over a
fire to heat. They will then ba hot and
ready for usa when tha products have been
prepared for packing.
All grit and dust ahould be washed care
fully from tha materials to ba used. All
products shoud be graded, especially for
ripeness. Large fruits and vegetables
ahould ba pared If necessary, and small
fruits, berries and greens picked over care

canned, nnd containers havo been cleaned
and tested, the canning procedure for most
products by the one-period cold-pack method
consists of five steps scalding or blanch
ing, cold-dipping, packing, processing and
sealing. In canning berries and all soft
fruits blanching is dispensed with.
Tha products to be canned are blanched
or scalded usually by being placed In a
cheesecloth bag or wire dipping basket Into
boiling water and allowed to remain there
from one to fifteen minutes, depending on
the kind of product In the case of greens
and green vegetables, however, the scalding
Is accomplished most satisfactorily In steam
as volatile oils and other substances remain
In the food under this .treatment. Such
