This newspaper nuiit was greatly derided when lie predicted that in LT years the Wrilit hrothers would be heating the Twen tieth Cenriiry to New York. One very positive gentleman, who claimed he had been edu cated as an engineer, declared that scientific men were all agreed that the human animal would never perfect a machine that would lie practical for transportation in the air. lie had it carefully figured out. Any machine lilit enough to fly would shake itself to pieces attaining any such .speed as the train in which he was riding had then attained. The iiitereHtin-f feature of this remark was not that it was made, hut that no one in tho parry attempted to deny it. Kven the newspaper man khvo in. ; Jt was the generally ncccpVod view of flying, anions the rank and file, 25 years ao.

IJSOLUTKI A' impossihle all scientific and well informed men would be agreed, on that point, and no one around would have the knowledge to dispute him. Haven't you ever not iced these positive men who know everything and are invariably mistaken. So many of them travel on trains, particularly in the smoking rooms ami club ears.

Wonl if Rol emu nxhelit to produce an abnormal secretion of gastric juice (when tho tobacco habit has the victim) and that effect often manifests itself ns such "hunger pain" when the stomach Is nearly empty. Ho you seo the tobacco t rent men t merely gets you into a vicious circle; the more treatment tho . worse the trmiblc. Tho two Important respects In which the working man's food Is likely to be inadequate are, first, the matter of hulk or Indigestible residue; and second, the mntter of vitamins. Tho working man today Is tired but not nearly as dumb as the tired business man, about matters of hygt eue or health. He Is too eutiily persuaded to tako IiIh food "purified," "sterili.ed" and all that hokum. 1 to Is also too readily convinced that it person doing hard work must huvo lots of meat, ihid that u. hot dimior or lunch is lM'tter for ono than it cold meal, lioth of those traditions, aro un founded. Some food may ho more attractive to taste hot, but some food Is more attractive cool. Cer tainly a cool or unhealed lunch or dinner digests as well or In many cases better than a, hut one. So this hot meals tradition Is merely a shrewd hoar movement on tho dinner pail. Jty the way, I'd like to see a working man with the co lira to carry his midday meal or meals In a. dinner pail instead of a vanity case; so many working men nowadays strive to look like sixteen dollar office boys ami seem a little ashamed that they're draw ing $30 a week and upwards. I've served my time in the work shop, not on any little eight hour shift, but in the da.VH of real sla very when a boy stood up to his machine 10 hours every day and 1 H hours many days and with only base ruteH of pay no matter how much overtime work he put in. I curried mine In a nice Hhiny dinner pall three stories high with turret on top. That good old dinner pull was my rem edy for the between meals craving. It never failed to cure the craving. It had room for a little roughage (I didn't say rough house) and by a fortunate chance the roughage carried the vitamins which were necessury tho we knew them not. Curry an apple, or any other fresh fruit, and eat it when tho between meals craving comes on. QVKSTIOXS AX1 AXSWEKS Saccharin I read In your column that sac-! churin Is likely to Injure health, j Is. this likely when it is used in j pickles? I began using it, a small fraction of a teaspoonful to the quart of pickles, when I read years ago that it may be used in place of sugar, because It has no food value. (Mrs. W. D.) Answer. Which is a very poor reason for resorting to the chem ical sweetener. I'd hate to ' eat any such synthetic pickles. Altho I can't say that the quantity of saccharin you mention would bo Injurious to health. I see no good reason why you should rot use sugar to sweeten the plcklos, if they aro to bo sweetened at all. After a careful Investigation by a board of experts several years ugo, it was concluded that more than 9 grains of saccharin In a day is likely to he injurious to the health of an adult. Conversational Spray Is Taboo I have found that your teachings about "colds" aro true and I wish you could reach and educate more people, particularly about tho dan ger of conversational spray. Why not have one of your newspaper artists make a poster showing two people . . . (G. i.) Answer. Spraying each other? Oh, dear, that would never do. The Idea Is "unpleasant," and hence taboo. I tried to reach some more people' via the radio with this teaching, but the censors forbade my description of. the conversa tional danger. Tho radio censors Informed mo that such an idea is particularly unpleasant for women and children. So thero you tiro. We must keep our nasty thoughts to ourselves, on tho air. Hero in the paper it is possib'? to point out that mouth spray iu ordinary conversation carries not more than 5 feet; so if you can maneuver to keep At least 5 feel; away, from the scoundrel who pretends-to have a "cold" you aro fairly safe. Sundown stories .MID-Sl'.M.M Kit PAKT1' Ity Mary Graham Homier. M;,idum Summer, wearing a golden coatume. with a wreath of - flowers around her head, sat on . a stump at tho edge of the woods overlook ing many fields. She was hold ing what she called her mid-j summer party; and now all the g nests were ar- riving. Many crickets and Kuty-dids and bees dressed In handsome golden suits and butterflies look ing their very loveliest. There were some orchard orioles perching on some fruit trees not far away and they were chirping and sliming their joy at being at the party. 1'egny and John and the Little Black Chick were sitting on the old slumps. More and more birds flew to the party and now many inter esting looking beetles had crawled over to join the members of their family. The wind was blowing cwr so slightly, and as it blew a little tune through the trees tho bees bewan to buzz and hum, and the birds chirped ami sang a little, and the crickets and Katy-dlds joined In the, chorus. Now the Breeze messenRors brought Madam Summer messages1 of greeting from her friends In the fields who could not come. The long waving members of the wheat family sent their greetings and so did tho members of tho clover family and so did the fields of corn. i i : ; She had delicious refreshments for her party, fruit and spring water and then tho music began once fnore. It was bo drowsy, so sleepy an afternoon with the hum mln, music, the sunshine and the gentle wind that John and Peggy could hardly keep their eyes open. ' fln fact they rfr-tually took naps! , But did Madam Summer mind?" Not a bit of It! It was Just what she .-had hoped her guests would do! Tomorrow "The lusher man."
