Women today are considered desirable insurance risks from almost every point of view. They do, however, present certain special problems. It has been well established that there is a relatively high death rate among young women who are underweight, and among older wo- men who are overweight. In other words, younger women who are | overweight are a much more desir- able risk than those who are un- derweight. Older women who are slightly underweight are a more desirable risk than those who are overweight. Tuberculosis Strikes Them When the death rates of women were analyzed according to their build, certain definite characteris- tics were observed. The young wo- men who are markedly under- weight die more frequently of res- piratory diseases like tuberculosis, but older women who are over- weight have high death rates from all of the diseases affecting the blood vessels and the kidneys-- from diabetes, diseases of the gallbladder, cancer, and conditions associated with childbirth. Par- ticularly in women 50 years of age and over is there an advantage for those who are slightly under- weight rather than for those who are overweight.

I's Cottage Cheese You Make It With Sour Milk To make cottage cheese from sour milk: Put the milk into a basin, cover it, and leave until the curd is solid. Put a large piece of cheesecloth in another basin, so that it forms a sort of lining, leav- ing plenty to hang over at the rim. Pour. the curds and whey into this; gather up the edges of the cheesecloth, 'so as to enclose the curds and whey; tie with string as close as possible to the solid mass, and 'hang on a tap in the sink and leave -to drip for twenty-four hours. Then turn out of the cloth into a basin, add a very little salt, and beat well. After this, put the curd in'a piece of clean cheese- cloth or fine linen, roll it up in sausage shape, turn in the enis of the -cloth, and place between two plates, with a weight on top. These easily-made little cheeses are really good food, and are deli- cious 'With crackers, brown bread and butter, and green salad, or raw grated carrots, a x) Brunettes Make Better Friends Up and at 'em, blondes--Char- acter Analyst W.

A strange misti- . ness dimmed Slim Loyale's eyes, and even Dakota Blue was winking fast. Slim cleared his throat. "Grub ready?" he asked gruffly. "I'm damn near starved. It--it's a long walk back from--hell." Glad of the chance to hide his emotion, Dakota Blue turned to the fire and jabbed at the glowing coals with a stick. '"Be ready in a jiffy, Slim. The coffee is about to turn over an' there's a panful of trout waitin' to go on." Slim nodded and went over to the creek. Flat on its moist, sweet rim he lay, his face buried in the NERVOUS?

Then he went back to the fire where a black frying-pan was sizz- ling, and Dakota was setting out tin plates and cups on a piece of tarpaulin, - "Got yore letter two weeks ago," sald Dakota casually. "I rode in here to the basin yesterday morn- in'. I'd have come down--there for yuh, only I knew yuh'd want to be alone for a few hours an' get the feel of the earth under yuh once more. Well, light in, Slim; there's plenty of it." Not Much Change They ate in silence. When the meal was over, Dakota tossed Slim a sack of tobacco and a block of papers, "Keep it," he said. "I brought plenty." Slim rolled and lit his cigarette and leaned back against the heap of dunnage. "NoW tell me," he com- manded, "everythin'." Dakota rolled a smoke himself before answering, and squatted on his heels before the fire. "Things aint changed much," he drawled finally, "Sarg Brockwell ig still Jigger 'Starbuck is stil sheriffin', an' Spud Dillon is still doin' business at the same ole stand."

A hoot owl boomed hollowly from a neighbouring syca- more. Thin and far away a coyote yammered at the first stars. Slim Loyale got to his feet and dragged a blanket roll from the: dunnage heap. He set about spread- ing them in the very centre of the little meadow. "Ill be a heavy dew tonight, Slim," counseled Dakota Blue. "Yuh better spread 'em back under the willows where mine are." Slim laughed softly. "I wanta taste that dew once- more, Dakota. I wanta feel it on my face, an' I wanta look at the stars a heap. 1 ain't seen much of 'em for--for a long time." . Shortly before midday, Slim Loyale and Dakota Blue rode into the cow town of Pinnacle. The single street was dusty and wide, and flanked with warped, splintery board sidewalks. The buildings were nearly all of frame construc- tion, their high false fronts throw- ing blocks of shadow. The street ran north and south, and at the north end stood a livery stable and corral, with a watering trough in front. Across from the livery stable was Sheriff Jigger Starbuck's office and behind; the. of- fice stood the jail. The latter was a small, square chubby, which dif- fered in construction from the ma- jority of the buildings inasmuch as it was made of stout fir logs, brought down from the slopes of the jagged Mineral Mountains to the north. : At the hitching-rail before - the sheriff's office, Slim and Dakota dis- mounted. "Yuh go ahead with yore business, Slim," said Dakota. "When yo're done, come on over to Spud Dillon's place. I'll be waitin' for yuh there." Slim nodded, twisted the reins of his mount around the rail, then walked up to the door of the of- fice and knocked. He entered at the: summons of a deep, resonant voice. Sheriff Starbuck sat behind a battered, paper-littered desk. He was a tall man of middle age, thin and leathery-brown. His clean: shaven face was hard from the -habitual grim set, of his jutting jaw. His eyes were a light blue, cold and searching, He showed no evidence of surprise at sight of Slim. Instead, he rose to his feet and thrust forth his hand. "Hello, Slim," he said.

Don't buy a dress until you have looked at sev- eral and tried the favourite on a second time. Because the forward slant denotes, among other things, - impulsiveness. "According to Dorothy Sara, dark- haired, attractive graphologist, who can tell by looking at your hand. writing the kind of person you are and the type of clothes you should wear to bring out the best points of your personality, the extreme backhand angle shows restraint and repression, So the woman who writes a def- inite backhand probably is the one who needs a red hat to lift her out 'of the depressions from which she is likely to suffer. Rather unre- strained, dashing splashes of color here and there often are better for her than conservative, strictly tail ored, quiet suits and dresses. One whose handwriting indicates a great sense of values, a nice bal ance between mind and emotion toward tailored clothes, says Miss Sara. "Such cos- tumes will serve to emphasize the strongest point of her personality which {s balance. "But if her handwriting shows a strong dramatic sense and a lively imagination, she needs clothes that provide a vivid background, with nothing drab about them. She shouldn't follow the fashion trends blindly. Rather, she should bring out her individuality by wearing things in tune with the mode, of course, but which suit her own per- sonality."
