Some Club Luncheon Meas
for the Puzzled Hostess
It Is a Sensible Custom to
Serve at Regular
Meal Hour.
Herewith is given a menu for a
tery simple club luncheon, to be
served before the afternoon bridge.
It is such a sensible custom to serve
a luncheon at a regular meal hour
Instead of refreshments at an hour
which will be so near dinner time
that appetite is lost.
Another good reason for serving
beforehand is that most women feel
it necessary to get home before the
children’s supper hour, and when
there is a distance to be traveled,
they are anxious to leave as soon as
the game is over.
As far as the hostess herself is
concerned, it is usually easier for her
to serve before bridge than after.
She can then play her hand without
worry as to whether the coffee is
boiling over or the sandwiches dry
ing out.
For a club that is original in its
idea of what may be served at
luncheon, the hostess of the day in
vited the eight members to a break
fast party served at ten o’clock. She
provided melon as a fruit course
and then served coffee, small baked
sausages, creamed potatoes and waf
fles. There were plenty of waffles
and they made the dessert as well
when the sirup was passed.

Acid-Indigestion Away
Amazingly Fast Relief Now

Indulgence, Nausea,
and Upsets

from an upset or painful
stomach condition —arising from
acidity following over-eating,
smoking, mixtures of foods or
stimulants — just try this:
Take —2 teaspoonfuls of Phil
lips' Milk of Magnesia in a
full glass of water. OR — 2
Phillips’ Milk of Magnesia
Tablets, the exact equivalent
of the liquid form.

stomach. Neutralizes the acids
that cause headaches, nausea,
and indigestion pains. You feel

Try it AND —if you are a
ern home, gave her guests ham and
eggs and hot waffles with grapefruit
as a starter.
The clever hostess does not feel
that she must follow accepted for

ties, and her guests always agree
with her.
Luncheon Menu.
Chicken turnover
Celery
Pickles
Ice cream with meringues
The meringues can be bought at
the bakery. As they are often rath
er long for an afternoon service, the
small “kisses” can take their place.
Tomato Shrimp Jelly.
2 cans tomato soup
1 can boiling water
2 tablespoons gelatin
>4 cup cold water
% pound shrimps
12 stuffed olives
Heat the soup with the boiling wa
ter. Soften the gelatin in the cold
water, add the soup, stir until dis
solved. Arrange several shrimps to
use alternately in a mold and add
carefully a little of the gelatin mix
ture. Place on ice to harden, and
repeat. A ring mold is attractive
when it is turned out —and then the
center can be filled with sliced cu
cumber mixed with whipped sour
cream seasoned with onion and tar
ragon vinegar. When the mold is
set, turn out on a platter and gar
nish with lettuce or romaine. Pass
the sour cream dressing or mayon
naise.
Chicken Turnover.
Cut pastry into long rounds and
spread with a filling made of minced
cooked chicken seasoned with onion
juice, salt, pepper and moistened
with cream. Fold the pastry over,
press edges together, brush with
milk and bake about ten minutes
until brown in a hot oven (450 de
grees Fahrenheit).

Talk* About ®
Menace of Overweight
JfK TO NORMAL condition has
I^l occurred more frequently
among my diabetic patients than
has obesity (overweight).”
I am quoting Dr. Elliott P. Jos
lin, Boston, the outstanding au
thority on diabetes.
Life insurance companies are very
strict in their consideration of permit
ting overweights to take out insurance,
as they have found that so many ol
of them later develop
diabetes. In fact they
have found that in ex
amining applicants for
insurance as many as
20 per cent already
are showing sugar in
the urine. “The av-,
erage diabetic man or
woman has been great
ly overweight. Over
weight is due to over
eating. What is added
Dr Barton. to the walst line ls
cut from the life line.”
Dr. Chas. H. Mayo says: “Men fifty
years old and fifty pounds overweight
are much more likely to have cancer
than the normal. This means then
that eating or overeating is a factor
in causing cancer because half the
cases of cancer are found In the stom
ach and Intestines.”
“To sum it up, the overweights have
a higher death rate. At fifty years of
age an excess weight of 55 pounds in
creases the death rate by 50 per cent.”
I am quoting from “How to Live” by
Prof. Irving Fisher and Dr. Lyman
Fisk.
However, overweights have more
than the death rate to consider; they
must think of their everyday life—
their chances for good health, their
ability to get around easily, their re
sistance to ailments, their mental abil
ity or grip.
Some Famed Light Eaters.
Famous men whose brains keep clear
till the end are usually light eaters
who from early years of experiment
ing have found out just what agrees
with them and are satisfied wtih this
amount and variety of food. Chauncey
Depew attended dinners and banquets
three or four times a week for years,
but always looked over the menu and
ate only the foods he knew gave him
the nourishment he required.
Thos. A. Edison came of a long-lived
family who for generations had learned
to eat what they knew their bodies
required and no more. Thus in an in
terview some years ago Edison said:
“The body is only a piece of machinery
and every practical man knows that to
get good work out of a machine and
keep it in repair at the same time one
must know how to take care of it.
Now, if you have a 100-horsepower en
gine and a boiler big enough to drive
it, no wise engineer will fire that boiler
to full capacity when he only wishes
to take eight horsepower out of his
engine. If he does, he sooner or later
burns the grate-bars out of his fire-box.
But that is just what the majority are
doing; burning up 100 horsepower of
fuel in their bodies and taking out eight
horsepower of work. Is it any wonder
that the boiler flues and the arteries
get clogged up, that the pipes burst,
causing apoplexy?”
Truth About the Stomach.
As you know, early man lived out
doors, used the great bulk of muscle
covering his body, had a natural ap
petite and “filled” 'his stomach when
he obtained food because he did not
know just when he would get his next
meal. Thus Nature supplied him with
a stomach that would hold enough food
to fill his needs for a whole day or
more.
Today we have these same huge
muscles covering our bodies and have
the same large stomach, but we do not
live outdoors, do not work these huge
muscles and so do not need more than
about half the food that was needed
by early man. Yet because we have
the same big stomach and get the kinds
of food we like, many of us thought
lessly think we have to fill this big
stomach three times a day.
Remember, then, that we need some
of all the different kinds of food daily,
that is (a) meat, eggs or fish (b)
cream, butter or other fat, (c) vege
tables, both starchy and leafy, (d) min
erals and (e) water. But If we want
to be at our best mentally and physi
cally we eat just the amounts of these
foods that will keep us strong without
increasing our weight above normal.

Relaxation and Sleep
So much has been written about the
value of sleep that many nervous indi
viduals worry themselves into sleep
lessness. They fear dire ailments or
even insanity If they don’t get a cer
tain number of hours of sleep each
night.
Now while nothing can take the
place of real sleep, with every muscle
relaxed, it has been found that if an
individual is unable to sleep but can
relax body and mind to a point almost
approaching sleep he can attain as
high as 80 per cent of the value of
sleep. It is estimated that two hours'
sleep in the 24 will keep anyone alive,
so that with complete relaxation for
four hours and say four hours’ sleep
you might be fully capable of doing
your work.
Enough outdoor exercise, without
overdoing It, brings on a "natural
need" for sleep that is better than any
other method of inducing sleep.

Illiterate Persons in U. S.
Number More Than 4,000,000
Illiteracy is commonly understood
to mean the inability of adults to
read, write, or both. In some coun
tries the basis of the calculation is
the number of men and women mar
ried who cannot sign the register;
In others the ability of army recruits
to read; there is therefore no trust
worthy method of making compari
sons between different countries on
tins question. In the United States,
a person is technically called illiter
ate by the census bureau if over ten
years of age and unable to read and
write.
Recent figures for the United
States are those for the 1930 census.
At that time the total number of
illiterates in a population of 98,723,-
/)47 ten years of age or over, was
4,283,753. Os the total the native
white illiterates numbered 1,103,134,
foreign born, 1,304,084 and negroes
1,513,892.

Cardui Helped Three Times
“I used Cardui, when a girl, for
cramps, and it helped then,” writes
Mrs. Ike Wright, of Sealy, Texas.
Next, after marriage, she reports
having taken Cardui when she felt
weak, nervous and restless before
her children were born. And during
middle life, it helped her again.
“I was miserable,” she explains. “I did
not have an appetite. I was very blue and
upset. I remembered Cardui had helped
me, so took it again and soon began to
pick up. I ate and had more strength. I
kept up the Cardui and did not have any
more trouble. Is it any wonder that I
recommend Cardui to all my friends?”
Thousands of women testify Cardui bene
fited them. If it does not benefit YOU,
consult a physician.

Find 800-Year-Old “Bowl”
Where Games W ere Played
Discovery of a large oval “bowl"
ivhere prehistoric America’s exciting
games were played 800 years ago is
announced at Flagstaff, Ariz., by Dr.
Harold S. Colton of the Museum of
Northern Arizona.
The discovery, pronounced amaz
ing, was made in northern Arizona
near Flagstaff, by a joint expedition
of the Museum and Arizona State
Teachers College of Flagstaff, led
by J. C. McGregor.
The find surprises archeologists, be
cause never before has it been real
ized that ball games—national sport
of Mayas, Aztecs, and other Indians
of Mexico —were popular over so
wide an area of ancient America.
The game court now excavated is
an oval bowl about 100 feet long and
45 feet wide, with slightly pointed
ends. The sloping sides, Doctor Col
ton said, must have been seven or
eight feet high, and the floor was
level. A goal was made of four
rocks in the floor. —Science Service.

trolled by your posture —at any rate,
improper posture will crowd or dis

ailments are traceable to this, says
Rex Beach in Cosmopolitan. He
passes on these tips regarding pos
ture from Dr. Stanley Green, who
has worker them out according to
the principles of “body mechanics”:
Don't sit on the feet. It twists the
pelvis, and may eventually produce
a postural spinal curve. Sit with the
weight on base of pelvis, leaning for
ward from the hips, knees not
crossed, head up.
At the office, don’t slump with
weight on base of spine or middle
of back or with feet elevated. It
crowds the heart and lungs, com
presses the vertebrae, and may cause
eye strain, headache, neuritis, lame
back and other ills. Sit well back
in chair, weight on the buttocks,
head up. If necessary to bend for
ward, bend at hips—not at neck or
waist. Standing with weight on one
leg causes a pelvic twist, spinal
curvature, and flattening of the arch.
Stand with weight on both legs, head
erect, feet parallel or slightly turned
out
