must have been in Miss Templeton's
case can easily be Surmised. The last
four pounds, she said, caused her
more agony than all the other thil'ty-
six, and many times she was on the
point of giving the whole thing up
and adding another to the long list
Of broken theatrical contracts
Before she began the arduouS task,
and while in the fun enjoyment of
her 100 pounds, she spent couple of
days in reading up i'll all the recipes
and systems for reducing weight.
She found out that the Ranting SyS-
tenn was originated by an EngliShman
named Banting, who Won fame many
years ago by publishing pamphlet
in which he told how he had reduced
his weight from POI pounds to 100
pounds. But it took him year TO do
II, and Miss Templeton decided that
Ranting would non do for her. There
were several other systems she read
of. like that applied by pr Schwenin-
ger, tine German physician. when he
reduced bismarck in weight to tie
tune ~ forty pounds in three months.
But She decided TO create 4 Temple
ton cure, and set valiantly to work
at it.
First she decided that she would
drink nothing except the few drops
of liquid required each day TO keep
her from dying Of thirst. All vege-
tables grown underground were black

should weigh ZIG pounds. and she
tried hruyely to reach that point, but
when she got down to the 125 pound

BUILDING ASSOCIATIONS.

The growth and value to the working men and salaried people generally of the home building associations in this country come in for discussion in an article Tn one of the current magazines.
 Experience, says the writer, have conclusively shown that thousands have managed to secure homes through these associations who would have found it impossible to do so by any other means. Money is saved when a payment is made on a home, that would never be as safe in a bank. even though the bank were as solid as adamant, for there is alwyas the tempt ation to draw it to satisfy some new want.
 Of course there can be no question of the general utility and beneficial scope of these building associations, but there might be great and, to all par ties, profitable sim plifcation of the con. tracts land the substitution of 8 straight loan plan with simple interest uncom- pounded, for the present stock and pre-. mium arrangement by which the ele- ments both of uncertainty of time, of credits and compound interest, enter into the contract.
