FOR HEALTH AND BEAUTY

Matter of Diet Is Highly. Important if One Would Acquire and Preserve Good Looks. All of the fresh fruits add their quota of usefulness to the diet and eaten plentifully will help to keep you well and pretty. There is a legend that one famous French beauty lived exclusively-on oranges, but common sense tells ub that she occasionally slipped in a meal of things more substantial. The thin girl* will do well to eat largely of raisins, for they contain a rich proportion of sugars that are so fattening. Train yourself to eat a variety of foods. Many a girl with a bad complexion owes it to the fact that she grew up with the foollßb habit of eating only a few favorite dishes. The different fruits and vegetables contain a variety of salts, all valuable to the body, and the natural appetite demands a change, even from the best and most nutritious fare. Eat generously of the fruits and vegetables the season afTorde, but —Just one word of caution—see to it that they are fresh. A single helping of tomatoes that have begun to spoil, a bit of dessert made of^ overripe or stale berrres, a glass of milk that has been exposed to the summer dust, any of these things may give rise to one of those little spells known as “summer complaint."—Chicago Record-Herald.
