The jiu-jitsu girl who wants TO get thin
has certain diet 10 which she rigidly
holds herself Her main food Is rice.
Rice is peculiar in that It combines two
foods Il contains the nutriment OF white
bread and potatoes. But il is better FOR
the jiu-jitsu girl than bread and potatoes,
for Il does not fatten her, while il does
make her strong,
The jiu- jitsu girl cooks her own rice II
she cannot get it cooked to suit her She
covers it with cold water and lets It slowly
come to a boil, Then, stirring It as little
az possible, she cooks il until It IL very
tender, adding little salt toward the last.
When it is done, it Ia faky and moist, not
dry and hard.
If you we're a jlu- jitsu girl trying to get
thin, this would be your rule Tor break
fast You would rise about O'Clock
and after little light gymnastic exercise
in your room, taking maybe an hour OF
your time, you would sit down TO breakfast
between and with a plate Of rice before
you You would put nothing at all upon
the rice except a little salt.
Some fruit dish would 60 with the rice,
a dish Of prunes without sugar, or bowl OF
tart apple sauce OF perhaps some stewed
You would eat all you wanted but take
nothing except those two dishes.
When you begin the jiu-iltsu diet
you will be hungry all the time. 10 the
person accustomed 70 a full stomach the
diet j. unsatisfactory. Mrs.. Peary, who
ccompanied her husband on one OF his
exploring expeditions in the Arctic referred
TO this unsatisfed feeling when she said
our greatest trouble Is experienced
with the sailors before they get used 20
their rations Of compressed food. They
miss the full feeling Of the civilized stom-
ach, and they are uneasy and think they
are hungry. But after a while they get
accustomed TO their compressed foods
and eEjoy them
And il Is the same with the jiu-jitsu
girl. At first she rises from the table hun
gry. But after a few days, when she notes
how much better she feels on "a short diet
of limited food. she becomes enthusiastic

The jiu- jitsu girl follows her rules closely.
The first is to eat lightly. Then follow
these.

other persons in the church.
They turned back the collars OF their
coats, which they unlooseDed as they stared
about the small gathering. Occasionally
they whispered together. They could not
have acted differently had they been at
matinee, except that they might have
taken their bats OF there.
II Ia interesting 10 observe the emotional
effect Of the hymns, which sometimes alter
the demeanor Of the most indifferent at
tendant. 1t may almost be said that 1t is
only az funerals that men attempt TO sing,
The influence Of Nearer, My God. to Thee
and Lead. Kindly Light sometimes in
spires a desire to sing even in men who
might be described as cold blooded.
Usually they give up the attempts after a
few trials. After few preliminary rumbles
the average man looks about him in a sheep
faced way and then suddenly stops.
Women stick to it longer. They win
follow the notes 10 an altitude far too lofty
for them under the inspiration Of the fervor
aroused by the familiar melody. Women,
however, are never troubled by the fact
that they have started a hymn on 80 high
a key that they can never by any chance
get up to the highest part Of the music.
When the high notes come they simply
stop singing and then avoid embarrass-
ment, and they never look 40 shamefaoed
as the men.
II anybody looks at one Of the men while
he is singing heeither looks away suddenly
like a child caught in mischief OF returns
a defiant stare as IL TO hurl out the proclamA-
ton that he has as much right TO sing a.
anybody else, even II he isn't In the habit Of
doing IL much in church.
Under the influence Of hymns they have
heard under similar circumstances and at
other times, the women who seem 10 DO
least Interested In the proceedings some
times become 30 distressed that they might
be mistaken for the nearest and dearest
Of all the relatives. Luckily, thsy recover
from this state Of mind as soon as the
melody Is over.
One feature Of this suddenly acquired
grief Is the fun 6edged condition IN which
It first shows itself. It does not begin with

fun downpOu without any preliminary
rain drops of warning. It subsidies Just a.
promptly.
New Workers., In their unW1linEnes to
20 10 funerals. even Of their friends, have
made Il easier for themselves TO avoid this
duty by putting a. far away as possible
the limit within which they might consider
themselves compelled 10 attend funerals.
In other parts Of this country the friends
Of a family attend a funeral, even though
they may not be personally acquainted
with the deceased. In New York few
persons who do not know a person in life
ever feel themselves called upon to attend
bis funeral.
This Indifference probably has more than
anything else to do with the growing popu-
larty OF private funerals. Orthodox church
men still want funerals in churches. But
the privacy OF home has seemed Of late
years much more appropriate than church.

AS TO FUNERALS IN new YORK
A DUTY WHICH MOST PEOPLE
TRY TO AVOID.

Small CONGREGATIONS 60 BE Expected ~
Church serN1ces-Men and women
Indifferent Save During Hymns-Pri-
Vate Home Funerals More Favored.
New Workers do not 60 TO funerals when
they can avoid It. A full church at funeral
service Ia a great compliment 70 anybody
who leaves New York for the other world.
Il u an indication that he was either very
rioh or very popular II Is not always safe
in this city to count on large attendance
at the funeral Of even a celebrity.
New Workers are too busy with the affairs
Of this life or too Indifferent to attend to
duties Of this kind, So we'll recognized
Is the disinclination to go TO funerals that
the attendance Of only a handful OF persons
at a church funeral service .is not a cause
for chagrin to the family Of the deceased.
They all know that New Workers. do not go
20 funerals il they can avoid 1t.
Strangers who come 10 New York are
more impressed by the importance Of the
sexton at a funeral than by anything else,
save the small attendance. Most sections
here are also undertakers, and when parish
toner's die the funeral preparations are
usually handed over to them.
Who has not observed their oflcious and
hasty trips up and down the aisles Of the
church before the service begins, their
solicitude over the order in which the
family are to enter, and the state Of excite
ment, bordering almost on panic, in which
they arrange the departure from the church,
The sexton has his share Of enjoyment
at every funeral. whether the congregation
be large or small, and he lie the only person
about New York funeral who really does
20 at his work in any but an uninterested
way. He seems much concerned. The
congregation stares about With consider
able indifference.
Last summer New Yorker, who at one
time had large wealth and was always In
possession Of a high social position, died.
Eleven persons attended bis funeral. To
be sure, he was buried on a day that sop
arated two holidays. Many Of his friends
were near enough 10 the city TO come In II
they wanted to.
A member Of several large city clubs, a
rich man In a small way, In life a New
Yorker, was bur led last fall in the presence
OF q handful Of persons in a church 10
which he had belonged for twenty years.
He had large family connection, but they
were away OF sick or too little interested
to come TO his funeral. So a man whose
acquaintance would have kept him bowling
constantly in the Fifth avenue church
parade, had fewer persons at his funeral
than he would have greeted on one clear
morning.
The little groups that gather at the
church door are sometimes too shy to enter
the vast church md scatter themselyes
through It, making only an occasional head

Luckily, extremes are not imperative. In
a general way, large majority Of the hats
conform 10 the new rules, are a trihe smaller,
tilt forward rather than backward, are
banked up at the back with flowers, feathers
or tulle, instead Of being pressed down fat
and pinned firmly 20 the hair; but the angle
need not be aggressive and there's many
a quiet. unobst rusive hat that is distinctly
modsh.
Our old friend the turban, unless IL be-
longs TO the p-lo class, inolines toward
narrower shapes, often turned up sharply
At the left side and trimmed with some
unusual arrangement Of wings, flowers,
feathers or ribbons. The very narrow
elongated shape is unbecoming to many
women, particularly to those whose hair
does not roll luxuriantly at the sides, and
for those women broader turbans are still
made or the polo is enlarged to the proper
tons Of large round turban.
This polo il one Of the freaks OF the season
and in some Of its guises reaches the point
II theatrical absurdity, but in other models
il is pre;tily piquant and suits TO perfec-
ton a certain type OF youthful face.

and ornamented by a single beautiful cluster

tive and it il good too in the flower covered
mode--say a polo entirely covered with
white violets and with a knot Of velvet
or a cluster Of American beauty roses at
the side. Made in little frills Of narrow

In connection with certain Of the new sailors.
These sailors are narrow and rolling Of
hrm, low q crown and built up at the back
until they tip sharply forward at an angle
disastrous to the average profile. The
trying line is sometimes broken by bending
the edge Of the bTim tack sharply In the
font or slightly at one side Of the front
and setting little cluster Of flowers on a
coqucttiSh little bow Of ribbon there.

NEW IRIDIUM CURES.
Marvellous Results From Use of soIx

Marvellous Results From Use of soIu-
 tion on Cellulofd Rods.
 The new idea in the medical world that radium coatings will cure cancer ous growths and will kill tuberculosis was informally indorsed by the HoHeo- pathic Medical Society of the County of New York recently, says the New York World.
 At meeting of the society Dr. Diff fenbach, the main speaker, took as his subject New Methods of Applying Radium Salts Therapeutically." He said radium exerts a destructive ef- feet upon diseased tissues to high degree This has been established by a large number of reliable investigat- ors. He continued:
 "A man eighty-four years old. at Flower hospital, had a great tumor on his foot He had used Rontgen rays without effect. A radium coating was used upon him, and two days later the tumor was found to be friable and was easily removed. There had been a slight recurrence of the tumor, but it only needed a proper application again to cure 1t for good.
 Then we have been able to report," 1" he continued, three cases of tumor which have been arrested by the ra- dium process. A fourth case was not so successful It may be that by longer exposure better results can be obtain ed. We must not go too far yet as to cancers. We know SO far that lip and tongue cancers have been alleviated. In some cases at the Flower hospital cures have resulted"
 Through the experiments, he said, solution was finally discovered of ra- dium bromide and gelatin which, while having all the properties of pure ra- dium, could be used to coat rods of celluloid or solid rubber. These rods were then injected into the radium so- lution and afterward into the diseased tissues.
