Many of the qualities of the cele

bon in such away that the result
ing steel will bend, keep an edge of

: Women Committing Suicide
Trying For Boyish Forms
Hi'ttie F. Cattell in New York Mirror.
Women are, literally, committing
suicide—to get thin.
The mania for the “boyish form” is
‘ increasing mortality and disease.
! It has become so much of a prob
lem that some of the greatest minds
* of t’he medical profession have gath
*r ered in New. York to devise ways and
.. means to bring women to their senses.
r *- ft isn't the little flapper, who lias
been held responsible for all of the
foolish fads of the last year, who
to blame for the dilemma in which
the physicians find Themselves.
It s the middle aged woman, who
is old enough to know better.
It's the wealthy woman from 115
to 50, ■who will spend $25 a day to
go into a gymnasium and be pound
ed for an hour—until her flesh is
black and blue—in order to break the
• fatty tissues in her obese form, who
is the subject of conversation at this
gathering of members of the Ameri
can Medical Association.
It’s the woman who, like Gaby
Desiys, prefers death to the loss of
attractiveness —to men.
Relief Assured.

Salmon Travel Hundreds of
Miles a Week
That salmon travel ajnazing dis
tances in short periods is indicated
by tha journey of one fish which was
liberated at the southern end of
Nova Seotia last June and was
caught less than a month ’-"ter in the
Moisie river, Quebec. Identification
was made by means of the silver
tag which had been placed in one
of the salmon’s fins when it was first
s captured. Its journey was between
800 to 1,200 miles long. By means
of the tags, valuable knowledge is

Snubbers for Ford Car
Made at Home
After he had broken three front
springs in on© summer, an autoist
r looked around for a cheap means Os
preventing further breakage. The
remedy he finally demised consisted
in riveting snubbers, made from an
old belt, around the front axle and
’i
h
.l, the frame of the car. The belting
:o was of four-ply canvas, 5 in. wide,
it and was cut in two, overlapping the
a splices 4 in. The illustration shows
NT the installation dearly.
Phillips, president-elect of the asso
ciation, the fat and the thin women
will obtain relief.
The present standard of weights
and measures for adults will be re
vised completely. Safe and effective
ways to increase and reduce weight
will be evolved. The dangers of ov
erweight and underweight will be
known.
But it may be a year before the
physicians will have this information
for women.
This much could be deduced from
the learned talks about fat yester
day.
There will be no attempt by the.
physicians to bring back the large-!
busted figures of Floradora sextette |
days. The “bustless.” slouchy form
which the commercial artists like to
draw and the middle-aged women like
to imitate in real life will be listed
as sickly.
The well rounded figure of the Fay
Lanphier type will probably be the
ideal female figure: a sort of cross
between the “boyish form” and the
more than buxom type of the ’HOs.
If you are overfat or underweight,
don't think that you're 'the only one
who has any troubles.

Repairing Leaky Eaves
Trough
It sometimes happens that a sec
tion of eaves trough rusts through
in one place, while the rest of it is
still in good condition. This can
easily be repaired as follows: Out
a piece of canvas large enough to
cover the hole, coat it with tar and
press it down over the hole. Then
coat the patch with tar on the in
ner side and let it dry. The trough
should, of course, be well cleaned
and dried before applying the patch.

The womefi who have been swamp
ing beauty columns of the dailies
with their requests for diet ami ex
ercise* for their particular needs
aren't the only ones who have recog
nized that fat is a problem.
Why Is Fat?
It was disclosed yesterday that for
years physicians have been studying
the question, “Why is fat?”
For instance, Dr. Solomon Strouse.
of Chicago, told the medical men that
he has been experimenting for six
years on control of fat deposits in the
human body.
And there have been experiments
conducted on grayhounds and mastiffs
by Dr. A. J. Carlson, of the Univer
sity of Chicago.
For the first time in history, the
1 fat woman's problem lias become a
, scientific problem. Also the thin
! woman's problem is now science’s.
| Credit for the investigation goes to
I Mrs. William Brown Moloney. After
receipt, of 20,000 letters from women
who wanted to reduce, she appealed
to physicians to find that they had
no standard of weights and measures
except those compiled after the Civil
War! So she asked the medical men
to help her.
“Just the job we’ve been after,”
they told her.
The Metropolitan fiife Insurance
Company has long considered fat a
risk. Same for underweight, Dr.

Other Snags Found.
The physicians are running into
snags in their new work. They have
learned that heredity, and racial
types, and a lot of other things con.
tribute to the problems.
For instance, the New Englnndcr
is uaturail spare and her Southern
sister is naturally fat, and the west
ern girl is husky and broad shouldered
aud hipped. And their weights must
vary accordingly.
A mother can taze oer infant, to a
baby health station in New York and
have him judged according to height
arid weight. The time will come soon,
the doctors say, when the women will
go to their physicians to get the same
information about themselves.
And fashion in figures may then go
to blazes, or to normality!
Yonr Food Tells Your Age.
Scientists have found after years
of observation thlt iu coinmuuities
or districts where the food i« of
very limited variety and pactically
the same every day that the people
lose the appearance of youth much
more quiekly than in those where
they vary their diet and use plenty
of fruit or other vegetable products.
According to one authority women
are most affected. “Judged by or
dinary standards,” he says, “girls of
twenty-two or twenty-three would
be taken for thirty o* more and wom
en of forty look as old as those of
fifty-five or aixty.”
The necessity of fruit with its
gentle acids and vitaminee and its
easy digestibility is now recognized
the world over as the easiest, pleasj
aotest and most efficient variant of
the diet, varying the fruits with
the season so that none of them palls
on the appetite.
Os all the fruits available in the
temperature zone the .apple and the
orange are the ones, which can bq
used daily and several times a day
without cloy inf the appetite. This iu
due to the acid of the- fruits which
prevents the closing effect or some
of, the sweeterland less acid fruitaj?
With the .variety in diet produred

What it Means When We .Patronize
Bootleggers.
The Paogressive Farmer.
The first thing to think abMit is
personal influence. All of us have in
fluence. Even the poorest and most
ignorant man has it. There is the
influence of example, of sash ion, of
custom. Let a man or boy find that
you drink and neighbors A and
neighbor B drink and neighbor O,
and he decides that drinking i« the
hormal thing. Let a man or boy find
that yon refuse to dcjpk and it sets
him wondering if he should not re
fuse also. There are those who drink
audthose who do not. Y°u have one
vote to cast, one man’s influence to
throw- in the balance, for one.side or
the other. Which side deserves it
most?
Then there is influence of financial
patronage or support. This is always
important. Not a bootlegger would
be in business today if somebody
didn t make it to his financial inter
est to do so, Every time you order a
quart of whiskey, you add strength,
life, encouragement, stimulation to
the bootlegging business.
And what is bootleging business
doing? It is such young men ns the
one found dead in his oar yesterday
morning.No doubt he was once the
ptide of a fond farm mother but
today they are burying his body and
her hopes in, a disgrace that not
even death can dignify, nor are girls
even exempt. On our table is a let
ter from a man in another state ask
ing where a young girl who has
brought shame to her family and
blighted all her future can be sent—
and no doubt in the vast majority
of such cases it is the dethronement
of reason and prudence through
“taking « drink” that starts the
tragedy.
These are of course . extreme in
stances. But all of us can think of
oth« boys such ..as the one we rt
eat this moment—a lovable,
fellow with fyie qualities of
mind and heart who. should by .now
have jhad a. distinfuished career , m d
the happiness of a home, but drink
ing has defeated all thq high hoptk
•f bin family and his friends. Anil
all "f us can think of women such
Ufi.one we recull now—of fine iuiiplV
aid .fine c haracter,, but whose life is
a tragedy because ol what whiskey
has done to the man ehe trusted.
Every time we patronize the boot- j
legging business, we help support, 1
nurture, strengthen and protect an j
i institution that is even now prepar
ing to take some boy. maybe, your
boy or your neighbor's boy ana carry |
, him to such a death as the poor fel- j
low who died in his car yesterday j
. morning. Every time you buy a 1
; quart of whisky you throw your in
; fluqnoe Itnd your support to an insti
; tution which is destined to take
j some girl—maybo your girl or some
neighbor's girl—and make her life
[ a tragedy for her and a hearthicak
; for her parenta.
