Walking on Water,
The ambition to want on the sur-
face of water is probably as old es the!
desire of maultled to fly ia the air. We !
have selyea the latter problem, anal
recent inteetioe at least approaeltes a
solutioe el the termer.
"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.

A Wholesome Diet As .&n Aid to
Beauty.
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.

o overeat at meals. It distends
he stoneach and produces an excess
ef fat. 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 -

Get plenty of exercise. 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. •

are diseased, digestiop receives a
