"Water skates" as somebody has ealled them. ia order to be satisfac- tory, must not be too cumbereome. A new inver,tiou, fairly accepteble ia this respect, taltes tee form of a pair of lightweight aluminum cylinder% long, narrosv, poiated at both ends, and covered with rubberized canvas: They are secured to Me feet of the wearer by straps, but in mob wise that in case of an _meet he can readily detach himself. Beneath the cylinders are paddles, which are so kluged as to fiatteu when the leg moves forward, opening o the backward movement to give tlae requisite propulsion. The wearer has only to e,o through the ordinary nue tious ot walking, and his "water skates" carry hien ahead. A modification of thie invention m- a -goys. instead of the paddles above described. a selall paddle witeel at the rear. whielt fe operated not by leg nameesents, but by the tea. 40.010,..1,011-,•0,1,0r00 Found At Last, Au irisinnan went at Australia, look- ing ter two 0 his brothers who had been out there ter some years.

The girl who understands the nee- essity of hygienic habits of eating will not illjUre her health Qr her looks by eating improperly. The body, through the energy that it uses to live, s constantly tearing down the tissues of which it is made. Therefere. if it is to go on living ! it must constantly rebuild those tis- sues. Food Li tho material by means of which that rebuildinir takes place. It is also the source of the heat of the body, without which no one could keep alive. The components of cer- tain foods, combined with the oxygen in the blood, produce heat. To insure perfect health the blood must be in vigorous circulation. One reason for that is that the blood is the agent that carries nourishment from the food that you eat to all parts of the body. But, since the blood can- not take up and use food in the form m which it, enters the body, it is the body's business so to change the food that it tan enter the blood stream, and to discharge it into the blood stream. That process is known as digestion. Briefly, it takes place as follows: When you put food •Into., -.your mouth the teeth, the tongue and the saliva break up and soften the solid por- tions. The-ealivaialeer absorbs certein properties jai the foitfl that are sat" ceptible to its Attlee.The chewed., food then 'enters the nesophagus—a, muscular, elastic 'tube that connects! the mouth with the stomach. There, various digestive juices, poured out. by thou.eands of sinall glands embed- ded in the walls of the tube, aet.on, the load and drew _from it nourishing properties that veere..not soluble in the saliva; and. the -muscles in the tube squeeze the food so that the juices oan- more readily act -upon it., The kind of muscles that line the walls of the tube, and that are alie present in the 'stomach aridein'the intestines, are' called "involuntary': muscles; that is, they move when it is necessary, without any conscious action On your part, just as your heart beats withoat your domg anything to make it beat. When the food leaves the oesophagus it enters first the ,stontacb, then the intestines. The process of digestioe continues in both,' so that foods that i the saliva or juices, n the casophagus did not act :epee are taken care of by the juices of the Stomach. Or, if not by them, by those in the small intestines. Finally, the body gets rid of the waste end of whateyer food it does insotealsseiigys It u•il:en that you oWe., it to your body to .give it the .kind of:food that it call readily digest—and the kind that, when digested, will 'yield the largest return in energy—and to eat iji such a way that the digestive eliparatus eat -tele its -work properly.

If you are doing brain work, do not eat three large meals a day. Persons who do heavy muscular work require a greater quantity of food. Do not eat numb fried food. Frying glazes the surface of food, and so makes it difficult for the digestive juices to penetrate it. But roasting and broiling soften the food to an easily digested condition, An exeess of perspiration interferes with the secretion of digestive juices. 'Therefore do not eat immediately after you have exercised and perspir- ed freely. Since food generates heat eat less in hot weather than in eold. . The condition of the nerves affects digestion. When you are tired they eannot do their share of work. Rest 'half an hour or so after hard work: and before a hearty meal, otherwise you are likely -to feel dull after it. Don't exercise within an hour after eating. In that time the digestive' organs need the blood, which exercise would draw to other parts of the body. Drink plenty of water, .for it will keep the body clean and the blood active. It is all right to drink moder- ately with your meals if you do not let your food slip down without Prop- erly chewing it, or if you do not at too fast. Wateritaken between meals, and especially soon after getting.up in the morning, is very berrefleial. A certain amount ot coarse -food, which stimulates theenauscular-action of the intestines, is essential to health, Green vegetables are wholeseme be - mute they contain Coarse material in the -form' of cellulose.

Without that your blood will besluggish and unfit to. carry the nourishment ilia [the body needs. Exercise of the eh- ; dominal 'muscles is. esPecially good, for they are the muscles largely con- cerned in digestion. • „Take care of your teeth. If they are diseased, digestiop receives a check at :the very start, Bad teeth cannot ,chew properly. , Foods differ in what they supply. gome, when digested, fuenish power, others repair the waste of body tissue, others do both. . • Eget, the lean part of meat milk the gluten of 'wheat, and beans, peas and oats are among the'foods that provide the material for the tissues. aft and sugar,fruits—like ap- ples, pears and peaches—that contain much sugar, potatoes and -sugar beets are some of the foods that give ener- gy.
