April s.—When the 1029 Central Asiatic Expedttion of the American Museum of Natural History, headed by Roy Chapman Andrews, sets out this spring into the Gobi desert in the wilds of central Asia, its chief means of exploration will be the automobile.

No one under 25 should be under weight % * Everyone should eat enough

A food scientist, known throughout the length and breadth of the country for his sane and progressive views on health, emphasizes the danger of being under weight, especially for young people. “No one,” he says, “under 25 years of age should be under weight. Weigh your children,” he says, “and feed them enough. They must not lose weight. A loss of weight may indicate the beginning of disease.” Feeding children is sometimes a problem.

How many mothers find it difficult to get children to eat healthful cereals and cooked fruits! The answer is that these beneficial foods should be sweetened to taste so that the children will find them delicious. Growing children, especially young girls of high-school and college age, often take up the fad of dieting for slimness. This may be extremely dangerous and may make the girls susceptible to tuberculosis and numerous other diseases. Medical authorities warn us that many women injure their health permanently by extreme dieting. The important question of food must be approached sensibly. See that no growing person in your family is permitted to be under weight. Make a variety of healthful foods tasty and appetizing with sugar. Active children use energy so rapidly that they need a ready reserve of energy to draw upon. A bit of sweet makes the meal complete. The Sugar Institute. —Advertisement

Stevens, who was engineer of the Panama canal, says Popular Mechanics Magazine. The idea is to dig a canal from the Mediterranean, connecting a ; series of small lakes which dry up I every summer, and admit enough i salt water from the sea to keep the I lakes filled the year around. An area. 265 miles tvide, would be flooded. The presence of so big a | Dody of water would modify the i climate to such an extent, it is j claimed, that 210.000 square miles could be reclaimed for farming.
