TrifDr. CC.Robinson ARE YOU DRINKING--WHAT? T r HE varieties of bootleg beverages that flood the cities, towns i and wayside stations at present are almost legion. It is the duty of every physician to warn his patients or any one with whom he may come In friendly contact against drinking this “stuff.” The United States Internal Revenue Department during the past three years has analyzed some 75,000 samples or brands of this man-killer. They are skillfully concocted In many cases, but all are rank poison. One can hardly understand how a man will put something in his stomach which deals a death blow. They contain, besides aldehydes and acetaldehyde, many other poisons from the metals of the distilling process, and coloring matter which Is rich In tissue-destroying doses. Hooch is poisonous for the reason that special distillation is necessary to drive off the poisons. This the amateur or home process does not accomplish. In addition to this the alcohol is often not grain alcohol, but a poisonous substitute of a greatly inferior quality. Even wood alcohol and denatured alcohol, methyl and benzine are component parts. These poisonous drinks attack In some measure all parts of the body but particularly the higher brain centers, the spinal cord, the nervous system, especially the optic nerve, the stomach and the digestive system. Paralysis and conditions which have the symptoms of locomotor ataxia result from brain and spinal-cord afflictions. Partial and sometimes permanent blindness result from the poisons attacking the optic nerve. Serious heart dilation often results and death soon follows: As far as available figures show, more than 10,000 deaths have

occurred during the past two years as a direct result of this folly of drinking. The most serious phase of all is the condition of the Individual In the lowering of physical condition and demoralization of manhood in reproducing the species. Think of the handicap Imposed on the offspring of such debasers of mind and body. How many will be foolish enough to sacrifice their lives during the holidays is a question. Refuse any friendly drink of "pure goods.” Digestion Aid An orange eaten with other foods at mealtime not only creates a healthy appetite for food, but helps digest the food and to secure the maximum nutrition. Makes Fine Dessert Hot ginger bread with whipped cream makes a welcome dessert w hen the meal has been light.

Dainty Underwear Do not sprinkle your knitted silk undergarments before ironing them. Instead wring a thick towel out of ciear hot water and fold the dry garment up in It for an hour. Then press with an iron just below scorching heat.

Fairy Tale Tactics Fail to Work in Real Life

In fairy tales, the hero aind heroine, usually the prince and peasant girl or the shepherd and princess, meet and fall in love at first sight, are married and “live happily ever after.”

It would seem that many girls and young men of our own Indianapolis believe in fairy tales, despite the fact that they are barred from the ultramodern nursery. Evidently they think that they, too, can “live happily ever after,” just because they happen to be attracted to each other. Unfortunately, life is harder to live than are fairy tales. It takes more than a strong physical attraction and a few weeks or a few months ardent courtship to insure happiness. Marriage in real life is too complicated for fairy tale tactics. Little in Common Dear Mibb Lee: I am a girl 19 years old. I am deeply in love with a nan who Is 20. We fell In love at first sight and have been poing: together steady for two months. He wauls me to mary him. I know I love him, hut wo Quarrel all the time. Xam rather Quiet and he likes to run around all the time. He fusses at me when we are in a crowd, because he tells me I haven’t ar.y pep. I know I haven’t, but I just don’t like the way these people he likes act. They ore “faster than boys and girls I am used to going with. I like to read, too, but J. never reads anything except the newspapers and snappy magazines. We have little Quarrels all the time because we seem to like opposite things. I have always thought people got along better if they weren't much alike, but now T’di not sure. But lam sure I love him and he loves me. Should I marry him, or what should I do? ____ WORRIED BE BE, You most certainly should not marry this young man, unless you want to spend the rest of your life quarreling. Evidently you and he are attracted to each other physically, and that is ail. And two months is not long enough really to know a man. People who are very much alike frequently do not get along we'l together. But people who have similar tastes usually do. Brute Husband My Dear Miss Lee: I am a married girl 20 years old. My husband Is 22 ' have a sweet-little baby girl 9 months old. We have been married almost two years My husband whips the baby and when she rrtes he threatens to kill her. “ hat can Ido to make him stop this? He will not trr to hunt any place to move I don t like to live with my parents: It does not seem right. What can Ido to riake him get a place to move to ourselves? He does not want me to have any money to spend for what I need Every time I ask him for money he gels mad and says I don t need It He spends his money so foolishly that It does no one any good. He also pays too much attention to other women. W hat shall I do to make him stop this? AMERICAN PEArTT. Yours is a ease for juvenile court authorities. Your husband can he forced to support you and the child and not to mistreat you. even though he cannot be forced to love you. Once you have succeeded in stopping his mistreatment it is barely possible you may be able to change him in othor I ways. Goodness, What Trouble! Dear Miss Lee: 1 am a girl IS years of age I had a very good boy friend who lit < a nic-e from my house V,‘e were very good friends until another girl 15 came and broke up our friendship. Pleas* tell me how to refain his friendship, to be fast a friena^ As you evidently have done nothing to indicate you wanted to break off this friendship, there is nothing for you to do now. lam sure you are no*, so foolish as to let any boy cause you any worry. Girls’ Gossip Dear Miss Lee: I had told some girls I like Fcertain boy and they told it aj over school. I never had expected to go with him. until la*t night, I saw l' l ™ .Vil* Rhow He csrne over and asked my friend and m© whether we would take a dat As thrtr* wer not enough boys, my fT *ittid and I hail to go with the same boy. did not act as though ho - ared I>r me. Coti and ym. give me any advice as ts how to win his friendship so I would have dates[withi hiim I am id and please don t tell me I em too voung. because other girls younger than 1 have dates, and I don’t expect thU to be a serious case. If other girls younger than you decided to go fdthout wraps in the coldest weather I suppose you would do the same thing. The fact that they do have “dates” does not make it right, does it? There is no objection to your hnvlng boy friends, and even dates occasion ally. If your mother docs not object —although you certainly would ho no worse off if you waited another year —but there is very much objection to your taking an affair with a boy ns seriously as you take this one. Be friendly toward him and let It go at that.

LETTER FROM PRISCILLA BRADFORD TO MRS. MARA AUDEN PRESCOTT MY DEAR, DEAR FRIEND: Every little while it comes to me, dear Mrs. Prescott, that there is surely “a Divinity which shapes our end.” Perhaps that quotation is not quite apropos to the thing I have to tell you, because it is not my end that is the subject under discussion. However, if the terrible thing which I saw with my own eyes moans what I think it does, it can mean nothing else but the end of the marriage between your beloved son and that irresponsible woman to whom he is wed. Little did I think w r hen I came to Now York to see why my dividends had not been paid upon that oil stock that Providence had meant me to be the vehicle by which you could prove your suspicions. That 1 have found that my oil stock is worthless and the man I thought so nice a villain, really means nothing to me, beside the fact that I will be able not only to do you a great favor, but to make your dear son understand just his position as husband, to the flaunting woman ho has made his wife. You know when I come to New York I always go around to the different hotels and look over the register to see if there is any one whom I know in town. What was my surprise to find “Mrs. John Aiden Prescott” on the visitors’ book at the Waldorf. I immediately arranged a dinner party for the friends with whom I was

staying, as I thought being alone she probably would dine at her own hotel. I did not think that even she would be so shameless as to wander around to strange restaurants at night. I need not have worried about that however, because she was well escorted, although she was dining at the Waldorf. A man I had never seen before, who looked like an Englishman, was with her and they seemed very much interested in each other. They sat at the next table to my party, which, only because of my regard for you, I took to such an expensive place. Do you know, my dear Mrs. Presoott, that your son’s wife had the effrontery to try to speak to me? I am sure I blushed, but I could not, my deal- frion 1, 'u of re pi- • for you speak to her under the circumstances. I could net hear anything they were saying until just as they rose from the table I heard your son’s wife say, “You must come and have dinner with Jack and me when you come to Albany.” Think of It! Inviting the man in the case to meet her husband! I was sure I could not believe my ears until I heard that man say, “I shall come purposely to Albany, my dear Mrs. Prescott, for you know that seeing you was one of the delights I looked forward to in America “1 hardly thought, however, that I should be so fortunate as to find you here to me meet on my arrival.” Dear Mrs. Prescott, I would go on the stand and repeat those words. I am sorry to break your heart, but at last I have found all the things that ye have thought about your son’s wife are not only true, but it is worse than even we suspected. I will be home next week. Affectionately yours, PRISSY. (Copyright. 1923, NEA Service, Inc.)

GRAPEFRUIT HEN planning a meal that ineludes grapefruit, remember ——J this is an acid fruit and must be used in careful food combinations. Too much starch served in the same meal with a grapefruit dish Is sure to cause trouble. A reasonable amount of starch served first is perfectly proper. As when a grapefruit salad is served after the meat course at dinner. But halves of grapefruit served before a cereal at breakfast is a bad combination. Grapefruit and oyster salad is a nourishing, hearty Salad that might form the main dish for luncheon. Hot bouillon, salad, brown bread and butter with nuts and raisins for dessert furnish a well balanced meal. Grapefruit and Oyster Salad Two grapefruit, 16 oysters, 1 pimento, salt, olive oil. Remove peel from grapefruit and divide into sections, removing every bit of membrane or skin. Wash and drain oysters and combine with grapefruit. Let stand an hour. Drain from juice and arrange on a bed of lettuce. Sprinkle with salt and pour over olive oiL Garnish with strips of pimento and serve with toasted crackers. Grapefruit Ambrosia Two grapefruit, % cup shredded cocoanut, % cup whipping cream, % teaspoon salt. 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons maraschino.
