Over-Eating of Rich Foods Will Cause That "Spring Fever" Feeling By MARGERY TAYLOR Interior Decoration Editor, McCall's Magazine, Written for Pampa Daily NEWS The newest lamp shades come in such a variety of styles that fashion is certainly not a tyrant these days, at least in lamps. You don't have to stick to parchment and paper shades, for instance. You may go to drawn silk and very effectively, if you use one of the eighteenth century urn-shape'd bases. For a striking shimmering effect, nothing can excel a white alabaster base with a white pleated chiffon shade edged with taffeta points. The mode seems to favor the white effects as against the tans and natural parchment shades of previous seasons.

But the mode is perverse, because it also favors By SISTER MARV NBA Service Writer At the end of winter nearly everyone experiences a loss of appe- iite. During the cold months, the jodys has craved foods that would supply heat; and consequently a iiet rich in fats and carbohydrates iias been maintained. Even if friuts and vegetables have been included the family dietary, the tendency is to over-eat of the richer foods that eventually clog the system. This condition causes that jtired feeling so often called "spring fever." A study of many dietaries shows them to be lacking in iron, carefully selected though they may be. Too little iron in blood and tissues causes them to misbehave.

The external indications of this internal "misbehavior" are apparent in poor color, listlessness and lack of vigor fever. Physiologists tell us that iron in the blood is the carrier of oxygen to the tissues where food materials are burned to release energy. Unless menus are carefully planned, there will not sufficient iron to insure vigor an endurance. Although meat-is one of the richest sources of iron, it is not one of the best foods for the body to assimilate and dispose of. Therefore a high meat diet is not wise.

Foods That Are Tonics Fruits and vegetables must be relied upon to furnish necessary iron grams and keep the body "fit." Bulky foods that will give the digestive tract its much needed exercise are essential. Nearly all fruits and vegetables are mineral rich foods and have a decidedly tonic-like effect. Keep in mind that the amount of water used and the size of the pieces of vegetables greatly affect the loss of iron in cooking. Certain vegetables which are rich sources of iron in their raw state are poor sources after cooking. Cooked in large pieces and in as little water as possible, vegetables retain more iron than when they are cooked in a large amount of water and cut in small pieces.

Our grandmother firmly believed in the efficacy of molasses as a blood tonic and in the spring they Good Behavior of Former Years Is Replaced by Self-Expression CHICAGO, March 31. are only two classes of children these days who are of the very poor and children of the 'Very: rich. was the observation of sllver- haired Mrs. Mary "Ma" Lyons, to several generations of the 'traveling public, who today, at the age of 70, is retiring after 36 years with, the Chicago and Northwestern railroad as nursery matron. In her stiffly-starched blue dresses 'and white apron, she held court In rocking chair in the nursery, bidding goodbye to her associates and reminiscing over the changes in children of yesterday and today.

''Modern times seem to have made life too short for any of it to be 'tpent in just being a child," she taid. 'There aren't many children, veal children, any more. There are babies, little tots, adults, and these strange young creatures who feel they must be grownups. "The little ones still want to hear about the three little bears, but the modern lad or or seven just looks bored. And if you don't watch out he will correct you on the foot ball score." "Children of 25 to 30 years ago were strong on behavior; now they are strong on self expression, or whatever you call it.

Today's children are more active. They demand more attention; want more out of life, and they are intensely interested in taking things apart to see what makes the wheels go around." But tomorrow's future citizens are all right in her opinion. They are on their toes early, and if they don't mind, she said, that is their parents' fault.
