eoln, yet It Is a truism which applies par
ticularly to tho girl who Is always "Just

ho'ls npologlzlng for keeping her friends

Having onco established a reputation for

actually did manage to appear only ten

Select cucumbers from six to eight Inches

Until tho Jar Is full. Put plenty of cabbage
leaves on top, weight with a stone and All

Fnll sweater models are beginning to appear in the costume shops,
adding further emphasis to the fact that the sweater has become an
all-year-round article of the wardrobe. Revealing, too, that sweater
styles change with each season change so radically that in order to
keep within hailing distance of the mode one must acquire a new
sweater not less than twice within n year. The fall model pictured in
today's drawing is of pure silk in Nile green shade. The girdlo begins
in the back as a belt, then becomes n snsh, drapes around the waist,
crosses in front and then goes back to tie in the back. The peplum
like arrangement of the skirt gives considerable fullness over the hips.
The one-button collar closing is distinctly new.

The Daily Ration
food Is required by
IT THAT amount of
Wan individual eveiy twenty-four hours'
Up to recont times this was one of the
most difficult questions to answer. Authori
ties aro now generally agreed that the
average man needs 2500 to 3000 calorics.
Tho amount of energy required by the
body varies, of course, with the season,
with tho weather and with tho amount and
kind of work done. Hard physical work
and exposure to low temperature demand
tho largest food supply. A person whoso
occupation Is Indoors in a temperature vir
tually that of summer does not require
moro food In winter than In slimmer. Any
ono who perspires very freely needs a
larger amount of food than the average,
because of tho largo amount of heat carried
off from the body
A person engaged In nctlvo muscular
work requires from one-sixth to one-half
more food than the nverage. An Indi
vidual doing very hard muscular work may
require, a still further Increase in tho Intake.
Scientists aro agreed that tho Increased
quintlty of food should he In tho form of
fats and carbohjdrates rather than pro
teins Adults requlro protein only to repair
wastes and losses. Growing children ro
qulro In addition material for tissue build
ing. Tho growing child utilizes nearly
half tho total lntako of protein tissue build
ing. An emaciated adult who needs to gain In
tissue has the samo nutritive requirements
as the growing child.
Obese persons aro overfed. In arranging
their dietaries tho number of calories re
quired must be diminished about one
third less than normal requirement until the
weight has been reduced to near tho normal
standard.
Short Breath and Weak Heart
What causes Bhortness of breath when a
Demon has a weak heart? W. V.
Shortness of breath always means conges
tion of the lungs. "When ono hurries to
catch a train or walks too fast his lungs are
temporarily congested. One who has heart
disease should be careful to avoid getting
out of breath. Such a person should move
slowly and cultivate a calm, quiet state of
the mind and body.

PATSY KILDARE, OUTLAW
By JUDD MORTIMER LEWIS
Her Mother's Picture
THIS Is certainly a good world. If heaven,
where my mother has gone, Is nny better
than this is I am glad sho Is there, but It
has got to go some.
I was at school this morning beforo tho
other kids began to come and bo Rowdy
and I had a game of catch. "Wo would havo
played longer If the Janitor had not como
out and asked us If wo did not have sense
enough to keep off tho grass In tho front
yard. Then I climbed up the poplar, leaving
Rowdy at tho bottom wishing ho could
climb like me, which very few can do. I
got the poplar to waving back and forth
and I sang a song which I mado up as I
went along. I was very happy until the
principal came along and stood under tho
tree and hollered. She could not holler as
loud as I can, so It was a long time beforo
I heard her, '
Then she said, "I thought I told you to
keep out of that tree." I Bald, "You thought
wrong. You told me you wero going to
have It cut down, and you didn't, and of
course you know what a person is who says
she Is going to do a thing and doesn't
do It" She said, "Come down out of that
tree Instantly 1" She seemed mad about
something, so I came down.
After school when I was going swim
ming I met the man In tho road who had
given me the three sliver dollars. He asked
me where the ribbons were that he had
given me the three dollars to buy. I said,
"Do you think I would wear ribbons
bought with murder money? You sold the
baby cow to the butcher to ba murdered
for three dollars, so you are a murderer
and I've never forgiven you and am never
going to forgive you, so there I I took the
three dollars and put them into a crawfish
hole." He said, "Yes, you did not" I
said, "I can show you where they are," So
I did and reached In and pulled them out.
When I had put them back he said,
"Coma to the house and have a bowl of
milk." So I did and then on the way to
the river I took up the three dollars and
put them In another hole and then went
swimming. I can turn over endways Just
as easy as anything now. When w got
back into the road It was dark. We saw
a light In the road. Rowdy and I sneaked
up and there was the mm digging In the
mud by the side of the road. He was
talking to himself and ha would aton .

A man does not have to drug a girl to get
her Into a condition where he can take ad
vantage of her. All he need do Is to ply her
with cocktails until sho becomes a scarcely

GERMANT0WN "LOT"
BLOOMS AS GARDEN
Unsightly Plot at Chew and Hor
ter Streets Turned Into Flour
ishing Vegetable Patch
Tho showplace of modern Germantown Is
nt tho northwest corner of Chew and Hort
ter streets, where three months ago there
"flourished" the most unsightly tin can
patch ln tho northern section of the city.
George H. Rahn, a deputy sheriff, and
George U. Howey, a Germantown merchant,
discovered the unslghtllncss of the lot just
at the time President Wilson's famous war
garden message reached the public. They
determined to change its complexion and
appearance for the benefit of community
health and contentment and for the benefit
of their own tables and purses.
Today they have three-fourths of an
acre of exceptionally fine beotB, corn, string
beans, lima beans, cabbage, carrots, toma
toes, lettuce, radishes, cucumbers and other
vegetables. On the Hortter street Bido of
tho lot the fence Is made of blooming flow
ers. Tho other sides are fenced with wire
netting, but for decorative purposes a big
sunflower was planted at each post The
big plants are In full bloom now.
Neither of the Georges ever had garden
ing experience, but their success Is enough
to excite tho envy of farm school experts
People visit the garden from all parts of
Germantown and nearly every visitor to
Germantown is taken to see this model
garden.
ST. LOUIS MAY LEASE COAL
MINES TO SUPPLY CITY
Determined to Have Fuel at Reason
able Cost of Operation
of Planta
ST. LOUIS, Mo, Aug. 10, St Louis
threatens to lease and operate a coal mine
ln the Belleville, 111., district to furnish the
municipal requirements unless dealers In
St Louis reduce their prices for ccal and
agree to supply 120,000 tons for the water
works and other public Institutions.
Bids recently received by the city from
several of the largest dealers of St. LouH
were on a basis of J2.7& a ton for bitu
minous coal. In some cases prices were
more than 100 per cent above those paid
last year. All bids were rejected and
dealers requested to lower their figures
This, they contended, they could not do
One dealer, however, agreed to supply
20,000 tons of bituminous coal for the City
Hospital and City Hall at $2 a ton, but
said that he was unable to furnish the city's
total requirements.
