ERHAPa In all the world today there
Isn't a more despised, more misunder
stood term than tho calorie. Certainly
yU couldn't call the calorie a household
Ht. The average woman runs away
- .,fhn you begin to talk about It.
i ?V And yet we ttre standing at a bend In
s Uto road where It Is almost Impossible to
af any further without talking aboui food
, values, and when we talk about food
values we come to the calorie.
Not many of us ara really concerned
with tho technical definition of a calorie.
Alice Kltchell Kirk, a noted food econo
mist, gives one that Is lots more to the
point. If the averago won-an, sho says,
eannot Imagine the calorie as tho mean
ing of a measure of heat, let her get up
.. rom her chair, shuffle Jic; feet and sit
wn again. With this simple motion,
Crs. Kirk says, we spend a calorie of
energy In tho body which was put there
fcy food.
THAT'S the' sum and substance of It.
All we do we owe to the calories. We
couldn't get as far as tho door without
t. them. And If It's so easy to spend ono
of these queer llttlj things, think of the
hundreds wo ought to hpve on hand for
aore strenuous activity.
The way we accumulate these calorics
originally Is to "eat" them. Whet, wo
cpend them at our dall; tasks there Is
no way to get them back but to "eat"
some moro'of them.
THE big Important reason why we
. ought to know about calorics Is that
there are more of them a pood deal more
In somo foods than '.here are In others.
For Instance, canned tomatoes, in spite of
the many times we have served them on
our tables, contain virtually no nutrition.
There aro less than a hundred calories
'found In a pound of them. When you
figure that a laboring man needs 3000
of these heat units a day to keep him

To Remove Candle Grease
To the JBdltor of Woman' raae:
Dear Madam Wilt you please tell me howto
get colored wax stains out of a tablecloth. Tho
lnk candles dripped on the cloth. (Mrs ) A.
These stains are composed of paraffin In
Which there ts an organic dye, and as
jsarafRn does not spread like ordinary
Urease, It Is possible to scrape a good bit of
fto wax away, which posslMy you ha
one. Now use blotting paper and n warm
Iron to remove as much of the paraffin as
suuuilhle. Place the blotting paper over tho
tain and by meanB of pressing a warm Iron
n It draw the grease Into It. Next dis
solve the coloring matter by sponging the
stain that remains with alcohol. If a
light grease stain still remains, sponge with
a little chloroform.

Wants Mysterious Job
To the Editor of Woman's Paae:
Dear Madam It Is rumored that a firm In
the vicinity of Esslngton desires men to enter
their employ In the nature of special Imesllcu
tlon work which requires the employe to sign a
contract for ubnut u year with the stipulation
that he shall not lcue the plant or be in com
munication with the outside N. F.
About tho middle of July it was rumored
that the Westlnghouse Electric Company
wanted 1000 men who would be willing to
enter a new plant to be built for the manu
facture of war munitions by a secret
process They were to be guarded from the
outside world until the Government saw lit
to make the details public. The period of
the contract was for ten months, A little
later this rumor cropped out again, but
nothing has been heard since to my
knowledge, If you are anxious to serve on
this secret mission the only way to get
definite information would be to write to

Dying- Hair and "Munitions"
To the Editor of Woman' Pane;
Dear Msdam rieaa gh the formula for
walnut stain for reddlah-bronn hair, how to
apply and where one can sat formula tilled
Does It color the hair on one application, and
how often must It be used? Also how to get a
position In ths munition plants and where to
apply for th position. Hav found many useful
recipes in your Woman's Page,
(Mr,) II. V. M,
Dyeing the hair Is such a risky proposi
tion that in some of the hair-dressing
establishments one is obliged to sign n card
taking full responsibility for such risk. To
apply tho dye requires skill. Think very
carefully before you decide to do It your
self or even have It done at home.
Hero Is a formula for the stain, which
can be. filled In any large drug store.
I cannot guarantee the exact shade of
brown It will produce, the more applica
tions, however, the darker will be vour
hair. The formula and advice printed below
must be followed at your own risk: I
Four ounces of walnut skins beaten to
a pulp and sixteen ounces of rectified spirit.
Ths hair should be perfectly clean be
fore the dye la applied, It must be applied
evenly to all parts of tho hair, oven to the
roots, and yet not stain tho icalp, a small
brush, such as a baby's hair brush, would
bo useful In applying It
Ono application of the dye will darken
your hair to a certain degree, but, of
course, the result produced depends largely
on the original shade of your hair. If
ono coat of treatment with the dya does
not produce the desired effect try another.
The number Of subsequent times you will
have to dye your hair depends on tho sort
of care you take of tt Frequent wotttng, of
course, removes the artificial coloring.

PATSY KILDARE
THE OUTLAW
By JUDD MORTIMER LEWIS
The Messenger
I DO not know how long I had slept with
one arm around Itowdy'a neck and my
faco on him for a pillow when I heard
ltowdy growling Inside of himself. I do not
think I would have heard him if my ear
had not been against him. I woke up and
heard somo one moving In the old man's
bedroom, and then I heard a olco calling,
not very loud, "Patsy I Patsy I Patsy I" I
was nwfuliy gla'd and so I said, "Here I
am! What do you want?" The voice said,
"Where?" I said "night under you. If you
will drop n match through the crack In tho
floor nnd put your eye to tno craciw win
light the match and you can see me."
I krlew by this tlmo that It was tho bur
glar tnlklng, Ho dropped n match and I lit
It nnd held It till it burned my finger and
went out. He said, "Well, that's a tough
place to sleep." I said, "Isn't that the
truth?" He said, "If you feel that way
about It why do you sleep thero?" I said,
"I crawled under hero for something nnd
tho man who Is a hundred years old shut
us In He sas ho ii going to keep ua here
till wo die."
Just then I heard a funny sound nnd
ltowdy barked nnd then kept still, and I
heard tho man who Is n hundred years old
Inughlng In his crazy way, nnd the burglar
did not speak again. Pretty soon something
warm dropped on my hand and then there
was a nolio lllio something rubbing ncrois
the floor nnd tho old man moving along nt
the snmo time, ltowdy nnd I followed It
underneath tho floor till It went out tho
front door, and that was as far as wo could
go. I called to the burglar a lot of times,
but he did not answer.
After n long tlmo tho board where we
came In was taken away so nuletly that I
rupsb I would not hae known It brt for
Howdy He made n dash for the hole and I
followed him. When I got outside It was
much lighter than It had been under tho
house, nnd I could see the man who is sx
hundred years old lying on the ground with
Itowdy'a fect.orj him. and the burglar lying
close by. I found out nfterward that while
the burglar was peeking through the crack
the old man had sat up In his bed and
blnmmed him with his cane Then ha had
drnpged the burglar around to the window
nnd would have poked him under tho house
with ltowdy nnd me If It had not been
for ltowdy The old man told me so him
self before I would let ltowdy get off him.
When I let the old man go he got up nnd
went Into tho houte, nnd I got somo water
and ga o ltowdy and me a drink nnd poured
the rest on tho burglar's head. Pretty soon
he s.tt up and did not know where he was
till I told him He had a lump on the back
of his benn ns big as an egg and his hair
was full of blood I did not tell him about
tho money under tho house. He just rubbed
the lump on his bean and said, "Wouldn't
that get your goat?" I told him it cer
tainly would. Then I went Into house
and got his crutch nnd we went to Mr llock
rudder's, but it took us a long time, because
he had to rest so often We got there in
tlmo for breakfast and the burglar did not
want me to go to school today, but I told
him lie was crazy In tho bean. He said he
had had a bad dream about me labt night,
and ho knew I had neer stayed all night at
the house of tho m.m who is a hundred
years old. except the night when ltowdy
chased away the hoboe. So he thought I
might be In trouble, and took his crutch
and went to look for mt
When I prayed tonight, I said: "Dear
mother, which art in heaen, you can't put
it over on me. for I know it was you who
sent that dream to tho burglar to get him to
go and find me. That is tho way angels
have of getting pcoplo to do things for
them Hut for cat's sake what did you let
the burglar get blammed on the bean for
when he was doing what you sent him to
do? I suppose It was a Joke and ou didn't
know the old man could hit so hard. Thank
you and God, anyway. Amen."

Hudson Seal Coat Trimmed With Blended Muskrat
The vogue of the short fur coat grows and grows and has attractive
expression in the accompanying model of Hudson seal. It is made in
a raglan cut, fastening with one button and very much cutaway. The
scams from the shoulders aro used to provide deep and unusually
placed pockets on either side. The very loose sleeves, almost bell
shaped, introduce a new note in fur and are banded with blended musk
rat. A big collar of the same fur and a band of it introduced round
what might bo the waistline of the coat, if it had one, complete a very
dressy, striking and comfortable little jacket.
'MA" SUNDAY'S INTIMATE TALKS
The wife of tho famous evangelist discusses everyday topics in
a helpful and wholesome way.
The Girl Who Played Kissing Games
(ITCT'S play postolllce!" Tho suggestion
JLj came from Laurie, a bewitching little
girl of ten
It was at a children's party some years
ago, and I was one of the mothers invited
to havo tea, while
the children gorged
themsehes on tho
strawberries and
Ice cream so dear
to their hearts
Thero were little
gucrts present of
ages varying from
six to fourteen
Now, "postolllce,"
as you will remem
ber. Is one of tho
so-called "kissing
games," which, like
"pillow and keys,"
"clap In and clap
out," and others of
the same style
were so popular at
children's parties
somo years ago.
I remonstrated
"MA" SUNDAY wlth Laurie's
mother about letting her daughter Indulge
In such games,
"Itcally, you carry your notions of prim
ness to excess!" she retorted Impatiently
"I think It is quite ridiculous to see any
thing wrong in mere child's play. Tho
youngsters like these games, and there Is
no harm In them that I can see.
Time went on ancilwhen Laurie was about'
fourteen her mother died and she went to
live with a maiden aunt, who wns as un
compromising In her severe code ns her
sister had been lenient. Laurie was taken
out of an atmosphere of loving Indulgence,
and transplanted Into a cold storage ware
house at the most critical tlmo of a young
girl's life, when the bud of womanhood was
blossoming within her.
"All men are evil and not to be truBted,"
her aunt told her, nnd forbade the boys her
house.
Sho began to meet boys by stealth, steal
ing out of tho house by the back door after
her aunt had gone to bed and flirting with
arIous youths In the garden. This prac
tice soon became village gossip, for the boys
were not nboe boasting. But it did not
reach her aunt's ears.
Thinking that I ought to talk to the gtrl
sympathetically and kindly I called her
aside one day.
"Now, Laurie," I began, "I want you
first of all to understand that I was your
mother's friend long before you were born,
and your happiness and good name aro very
dear to me."
I then went on to tell her what I hard
heard about her.
"I don't know what you mean," she an
swered. "Mother never objected to me let
ting boys kiss me In the games we played as
children, and I thought it was Just the
same now."
So Laurie's aunt, while telling her that
men were not to be trusted, had never told
her the reason why a girl should not permit
them liberties. And any instinctive reti
cence the girl might have felt had had its
edge worn from it by the kissing games of
her earlier days.
But habit was too strong with her, and

To Improve the Circulation
T)EnS0NS with weak hearts must avota
IT vinl-nt exerrlse. Thev should out them
selves under careful training, beginning with
general exercises and gradually Increasing
the vigor of tho muscular work from day
to day. Care should be taken to avoid
getting out of breath or exciting the heart
to such a degree as to produce a very rapid
pulse. If somo shortness of breath Is In
duced by the exercise, it should subside
after resting for four or Ave minutes, and
meanwhile Inhaling and exhaling slowly and
deeply. The pulse also should return within
a few minutes to Its normal rate.
Walking and, especially, mountain climb
ing ore more excellent means tit strengthen
ing the heart If not excessively weak. If,
however, the heart Is bo weak as to cause,
swelling of the ankles, mountain climbing
Is too severe a form of exercise. Still
more gentle exercise must bo employed, but
In Buch cases the Individual should place
himself under the case of a physician, i
When the extremities hand nnd feet
are cold there Is deficient circulation of the
blood through the parts and the result is
liable to be an excessive accumulation of
blood In the vital centers brain, lungs and
abdominal organs. Coldness of the hands
and feet may often be due not simply to
deficient circulation In these parts, but to
digestive troubles. The best cure In such
cases Is attention to proper eating, thorough
mastication of food and keeping the bowels
regularly active. In any case of deficient
circulation the feet should be kept warm
and dry by proper footgear.
Keeping the feet over a register Is In
jurious, since It lessens the power of the
tissues to maintain an actlvo blood circu
lation. Tho best way to restore the full
circulation in cold hands and feet is by
taking recourso to such simple exercises as
the following:
For cold hands:
First. "Tho milkman's slap." rtalse tho
arms horizontally at the sides, level with
the shoulders, with palms facing front
Fling the arms energetically across the
chest, so that the arms cross each other and
the hands strike opposite shoulders. This
exercise may be varied by having the right
arm cross above the left, then the left above
the right tn alternation.
Second. Strike the palms together sharp
ly In front, on a level with the shoulders;
then behind the back, low down ; then over
head, as high as possible; then once more
behind the back. Repeat this exercise a
number of times, with chest high and head
erect.
Third. Holding the fingers relaxed, give
the hands a thorough, energetic shaking.
To Imagine that something disagreeable ts
attached to the Angers and you wish to
shake It off aids In performing tho exercise
correctly.
Fourth Clench the hands very tightly
and then forco the fingers open while strong
ly resisting. Try this with each hand
singly and then both together.
For cold feet:
First. Contract the toes with as much
energy as you can bring Into play. Hold
them contracted for a foy seconds, then
relax tho muscles. Exerclso the feet alter
nately, and then together.
Second, liaise the foot slightly from the
floor and extend it In front Straighten the
foot forcibly, then extend It till all the
muscles in the forward part of the foot are
at full stretch. This may be done cither

Yawning
A young woman who works at a diss ...
to me yawns frequently. When I notlcs thi.T
yawn also. What cause thl yawning? "
MAD EL ,
Physiologists tell us that In the mlaai.
of tho upper portion of tho spinal cord
there Is a small nerve center which hu
charge of the group of movement, which
wo call yawning. Just what brings thli
nerve center Into action, nobidy knowi
but It Is probably caused by ftveraccumulii
tlon of carbon dioxide In the blood. Yawn.
Ing generally occurs when a person It
weary or drowsy. Many persons are In
clined to yawn after eating. It I. a
curious fact that the disposition to yawn
seems to be to a certain extent Infectious,
If one of a group of persons yawns, another
member of the. group is almost certain to
yawn a few minutes later. Bathing ths
face with cold water, drinking a gliti of
hot or cold water cr somo refreshing
beverage will generally cause the dtapojt.
tlon to yawn to disappear.
