Show -I Adhesion of Tissues to Skin Breaks Down When We Are Not Well I Supplied With Sweet Food .: and Dents . Disappear Forever as . We Grow Older. A Vienna correspondent for .in American newspaper has just written writ-ten of a society favorite of that city who paid $30,000 to a great surgeon ; to cut dimple into, her cheeks, chin I and shoulders. ... The. woman was growing old and with her growth of age .She was losing' los-ing' the little- hollow dents which came with her smiles and which had been her pride and her greal-'I greal-'I est asset In winning her way to the j top of the social .ladder of Vienna, j She traveled extensively In quest of a physician who could restore her I vanishing dimple?.' , Finally one of .1 the most eminent surgeons of J Vienna- was retained to mako Sn- '-.k. J clsions and attempt' to restore the B treasures of her youth. How sue- 1 J cessful the surgeon will be cannot , be, determined for he has Eent tho J wo man "away on a sea voyage to the S South Seas and she will not return JH until the opening of the social sca- son next autumn. Had the woman not abandoned the mandates of "nature she would not needed to have suffered the loss of her dimples, according.to Jacques ILaTour, the noted beauty expert, who has specialized for years in human art. We. lose our dimples "because we do not cat enough sugar, su-gar, he declare?. We refer lb a girl with a dimpled cheek as a sweet girl.. We. commonly common-ly associate smiles and dimples and associate. both with sweetness. Although Al-though we have used the term lg-norantly lg-norantly we have used It truly, for dimples stana for sweetness Just ap much as sugar. To understand the relationship of sugar and dimples we must, know fj ' the anatomical construction of Uno '.jr, dimple. The dimple is a small hol-' hol-' y ' Iw or dent, permanent or evancs- J- ' cent; formed on the surface of somo 1 plump part of the human body. Tho . W more evanescent the dimple the I more delightful It Is. A girl with a permanent dimple Is not nearly as attractive as one who can fill her face with .dimples by simply sending a happy thought through her brain. All persons do not have dimples. They, are more common In children - than' In grown persons. Tho older people get- the less dimples they, W have. Many dlmplca seemingly turn 1 lntowrlhkles. ' Students. of anatomy , " long ago learned that dlrqp'c's wero . I due to. tho adhesion of fibrous lis- , j sue to the skin. Ah long a3 the tla- a . sue is. full of life It will continue to i attach to tho skin and our dimpled children will retain their dimples. A If It .would be possible to kccptho 'j tlsiue In Its high state of health through life we would sllll bo dlm- ,plcd when" we become grandparents. 4 Thero arc sorno persons who re tain tho dimples through llfe-'i llfe-'i 'Usually the tissues lose their .) strength. Their point of attneh- mnt to the skin Is-lost, and we no i,j ' longer have dimples. Whatever causes the tissue to die j l causes the dimple to disappear. Su- I, gar is the greatest builder up of tissue, tis-sue, according to LaTour. Children like sugar but their parents believe. It Is not good for them and do not . let them have as much as they ought to have. Older persons as a rule do not eat all the sugar they ought to have. Through centuries of Ignorance Ig-norance we have been educated to believc'.'fiugar Is not good. We have grown thin and lost our dimples as a result. SUGAR QUICKLY ItEIiUIlVDS SYSTEM. Su'rrar nulclcly rebuilds the wasted system.. When tho American soldiers sol-diers went Into Cuba and found tho reco'neentradoea starving to death they fed them sugar. These Cubans had. been concentrated In the cities "wrjcre they could get little food. They had wasted away so that the skin was tight against their foreheads fore-heads and ribs.- Physicians In feeding feed-ing the starved ones found that sugar su-gar was by far the best food. They found that while meat and bread would restore tissue in time sugar would, work the restoration In half tho. time. Sugar is found, also to be the greatest restorative In times of great fatigue. Sugar in the coffee Js a real, food. A lump of sugar taken on -a long march works wonders. The -sugar in chocolate is of great bohcfiV.;" Sugar In milk also quickly restores' vigor. .When one has lost his dimples ft is almost Impossible to restore them If not entirely Impossible, according accord-ing tq LaTour. The next best thing to do Is to keep them, says the export. ex-port. "Don't let your dimples get away from you.", says ho, "As long as you 'can- keep them you will keep tho appearance of youth. The dlmplo is a priceless gift of the gods. I do not know how successful the Vienna physician will be In waking the dimples come back. I do know that Borne of my friends In Paris tried It with some success! They looked llke.r.'eal-dlrnples.but they wore there ' .! .' . fclrong and full of dimplos'by' eating -- ' fRy milk wnlcl contains sugar.

I do not believe In them. I liko the natural dimple. I adore it. Let us have more of them, because l hey greatly enhance the attractiveness of any woman. "When one smiles the muscles of the face move, Tho muscles are composod of little bundles of tissue. These bundles aro very strong and by a sudden movement-brought on by pleasure or sorrow can completely complete-ly change the appearance of the faco In spite of us. Those tissues pull in all different directions. As they pull the skin adhering to the tlssuue also Is pulled out of place and tho little hollows appear. These holiows aro the dimples we so love to see. They should be protected as a priceless heritage Eaqh. po)"aon rnust be a Judge of his own diet. But let me say that no person should stint him-uclf him-uclf as to the amount of sugar ho ' cats unless he finds he sis getting too plump. Too much plumpness Is almost al-most as ruinous. as ton much skln-nlness. skln-nlness. Strike the golden mean. . Keep the tlssuo' well fed, not by taking skin food through the skin but by taking all fpod through the rnouth." ' We are accustbmod to couplu sweetness with anythiug that moots our highest conception of spiritual development in any llnu. Sweet Is Invariable associated with sound, with flowers, with birds, with children chil-dren and lovely women. Poets havo written of the sweetness of tho smell of the new mown hay. They havo written of the sweetness of the May mornings. They have written of tho sweetness of the Florida mocking bird. Swcetncsa Is to the taslo what beauty 13 to the eyes. It la nature's stamp of approval and certificate of wholcsomcnMsT. according to Dr. Woods Hutchinson. It is one of tho most universal llavors to foodstuffs. More than one half of ou,r real food -itf.uffs . lasto sweet, according to . Huichinzon. When they taste aweet Mm mwmm iff t ml I w4 M it means that they contain sugar In somo form. There arc hundreds of things that taste salty which havo no Tood value. There aro hundreds of, things that taslo bitter which have ho food valuue. There aro thousands of things that taste l!ko leaves and sawdust, which havo no food value. Hutchinson insists, however, that thero Is nothing that tastes sweet which Is lacking in food value. There aro somo sweet pol-fions. pol-fions. but they have food value. VALUE OX-' SUGAJl RECENTLY LEAKXED. Only In recent years havo xte learned of tho value of sugar as food. Jliik contains sugar. . That Is-the .food upon which children thrive. They starve to death when forced-to take -vegetable diet,. but, ' :-ff'- V ' r-f- . . can be given In only small amounts. The children do not dlo as a result. In fact they continue to thrive. But the reason is not because they havo been deprived of sugar. Tho real reason Is that they havo found sugar In other forms. Sugar is con- i talncd in so many different forms that it Is next to impossible to eradicate It. When we analyze a piece of tissue tis-sue in the chemical laboratory we find that it contains what the physiologist knows as muscle-sugar. muscle-sugar. The aclcntlllc name is in- osilu. lis presence gives a peculiarly pe-culiarly sweet taste to the bettor cuts of beef. In young animals it Is in greater proportions than in an old, lean or hard worked animal. We find In eating animals that the young ones taste the best. They contain mora Inosite. Wo find the sntuo bi true of game: When ganio blids are killed In the fall they taste the best. Then they .aro full of Inosite. They are fleshy. In tho spring they taste dry. That is because be-cause they have eithor undergone a long winter famine, or havo been in tho tropica at the oloso of a long dry period, where they could not get food containing sugar to create cre-ate inosita. We civilized people havo not learned as well as the savages. Savages, Sav-ages, used to eating lean, hungry mountain goats or antelopes, jack rabbits, coyotes and other rib showing show-ing animals, have learned to flavor their meat with sugar. From chemical Investigations we know, that sugar Is tho best food for muscles. Men who have studied animals long, or who have had them. In thoir care, have learned that sugar eating can be taught to any animal. Horses do not eat sugar naturally. But give a. horse a lump of sugar when he is a colt and when he reaches .the tage when he is old enough to be broken to bit and bridle lie will not become fractious. Tho most docile of wlld anlmals ace sugar eating- ones. Even ferocious ' -ti, "-H- ' ' 'o i. - ' ' - J, ' t bears have been tamod with lumps of sugar. Bears will go to any lengths to get honey. They havo no fear of bees when they discover a chance to get into a bee tree. A sugar eating bear may be ferocious, but tako away his sugar and ho will 1J& pHOTOs By c,D WHITING- P go Into an insane state of ferocity. Let him understand that the only way ho can get sugar Is by being quiet and ho will become as meek its a lamb. Birds are fond oT sweet fruits. They pick out tho ripe side of a cherry first. The green , side does not" contain enougn sugar to suit their tastes. They will pick at tho reri side of an apple first because there he finds the greatest amount of sugar in a high state of organization. organiza-tion. Go Into the wilds any time and you can find animal tracks leading to the berry bushes. Every animal will be snared by sugar. Sweet bait in traps will catch more than anything- else. Children -with sweet teeth used to be deplored. It was only twenty years ago when a famed Scotch physician startled tho world with a declaration that taffy was better for babies than cod liver oil. 11.-V.K13D APPLE AND OHAXGE JUIOE FOR JJABES. Physicians aro now advising -, to give babies baked apples and oranges. The objection to sugar for babies came from the days when people thought that sugar was an lndulgenco and therefore not good, for babies. A child with a "sweet tooth" was something to be sorry about just the same as though it had a club foot. Children, cried for , sugar and so thero was a second reason -It was not good for baby. But we havo learned that craving for a thing usually means wo need It. When a horse craves sa.lt It eats all It wishes. When a horse craves apples It will cat ail it wishes If It can get to tho applo trees. When a child craves something it. is denied tho right to have it. !Most anyone who. knows anything about children knows that some of them cravo things that are not gpod fpr them. Yet when tho entire race of children crave the same thing it is a good Indication that that Is tho very thing- they need. There Is no. necessity of giving . sugar to. ex-, - ,T . . " ' .: . V- i -ft I . . - - I cess, says La. Tour. Moderation in f$ all things i3 his motto, the same j'ni as It Is tlio motto for many other jSc thinking men. lir Dr. Hutchinson, however, docs Ijfes not believe there is much oppor- ; tunily for a child overeating on j-Sri sugar. When a child is given a box of candy he usually oat3 so ft much he Is sick for a time. But iijd Hutchinson declares It is more the fault of the man who kept the T1 candy away from him than the . Sj fault of the man who gave it to him. ro The child Is so starved for candy "Jn that he naturally overeats. Chil- dren given plenty of sugar on their ji bread, mush and other things, and j; K candy at limes will not overeat T when they aro yiven a box of sweot- p meats. . The' present generation of hu- 4- inanity Is bigger and more power- . P ful and intelligent than any provlous- 1 ' ff, generation. Dr. Hutchinson believes :fi that the cheapness of sugar Is part- h J ly responsible for this Improve- l' ft ment. Formerly sugar was given , S' only sparingly. Today we cat sugar )Ci with everything we need. One hun- ', V dred and fifty years ago sugar in ; a, solid form was only to be had In ; ti honey or In dried figs or dates. it Lumps of sugar were made In somo ' bt out of the way places In the tropics, it but the process was unknown in i fl Europe or America. Sugar was a j' if present only for a king. , But with modern discovery of the sugar producing processes every- 3 body eats sug:ar. It Is not a luxury. j It is a necessity, and It is taken into i- account In every commissary de- ; J . partment that feeds any consider- j' P ablo number of men. Jack London )l in his hook about the adventures $ 4 with John Barleycorn tells how B when a child he did not crave al- ' 4 cohol. He did crave sweet things. ' & Ho loved candy, but dfd not dare pi to eat it In the presence of others for fear ho would be ridiculed as a weakling. So he learned to like tho thing ho did not like, much to his 1 own injury. i1 M Willi all tho scientific argument f p in favor Qf sugar as a tissue builder, X js; La Tour declares ho needs say lit- .-. tie to prove his case. ; V1 'I do not need to plqad my case before the bar of .Intelligence." says c La Tour. "Any thinking girl can 9 realize she must keep herself in good condition all the time in or- dor to keep her tissues intact. iB' ,j keoplng her tissues as they are ;. when, she has dimples, she will - gj never lose them.
