Well, as broad, general rule, it
may be said that the following rep
resents the approximate quantity
of food:
For breakfast: An apple, raw or
baked, or an equal quantity Of
some other fruit; a saucerful of
some good cereal, such as boiled
rice with cream; a glass of milk
and two slices of brown bread

dressed with good olive oil and
lemon juice; two or three slices
of brown bread.
For supper: Soup, a small
quantity Of fresh meat, or beans
or peas; one or two cooked vegeta-

Anyone who tries this plan of
diet is likely to find after a few
weeks that he needs still less food.

DAILY SHORT STORY

singing for him. At first, Herr
Winklerhoff would throw up his
slim, white hands. and, pleading
sudden illness, rush in artistic
shudders from the room; but, as
his love grew beyond bounds, he
acquired the grace to sit still while
all the notes were butcher. Herr
Winklerhoff cherished this one
thought:
when Eta lofes me shust the
same like I am her lofing, then she
will sing right der notes." And the
professor worked night and day
on the beautiful heart song which
should celebrate the coming of
love-
At last he had the ballad-as
dreamy and enticing as ever
drifted out from the Blue Danube
and on that day Herr Winkler.
hoff spoke his heart to Nine. Eta,
spoke with the fervor of the love-
ballad in his cultural tones and
the soul of the artist shining from
his black eyes. And Nine. Eta
responded in tremulous tones, so
that Herr Winklerhoff, having the
quick, artistic instinct, knew at
once that the hour of love had
come.
Eta he cried, "to der piano
come quick, und sing init pas
sion!"
And dragging Nine. Eta into
the studio, he played-once that
the divine chords might sink into
the very soul OF madame, and
again that she might sing. And
madame lifted up that grand, en-
comprising soprano and rendered
every note so true and so COMPEL
ing that on the fourth floor young
Bergers dropped his flute and
Liederkamp, the German barber,
ceased THE Spanish Cavalier" on
the big tuba to listen in enchant-
ment.
"Ach, lofe!" cried the profess
sOr. "Lofe ISIS der king of mir
acles!"
Then Nine. Eta, the newborn
opera star, sang the heart-ballad
over the second time. in tow-toned
sublimity for the ear of Herr
Winklerhoff alone.

STORESSH
MRS. CHlNCHlLLA.

Mrs. Chinchilla, a big gray cat,
lived in the drug store window with
her three kitties.
Her kittens played hid and seek
behind the big blue and red bottles
in the window. In the center of
the window was an unused goldfish
basin.
y One morning after Mrs. Chin
chilla had washed her little FAM
lily, she went out on hunt for
mice. While she was gone boy
slipped into the drug store and
stole the prettiest kitty.
Soon Mrs. Chinchilla came back
The first thing she did was count
her babies. When she found one
was gone she looked everywhere
for 1t, inside and outside. She was
very much distressed.
She rossed the street and seemed
to be thinking which way to go
when she heard very pitiful little
new. She listened with all her
might and discovered II came from
the house where the bad boy lived
She waited, and when the wind
blew the door open Just little she
squeezed in and crawled along the
hall till she came to the room
where her kitten was. The boy had
tied papers on kitty's feet to see
her step high.
Mrs. Chinchilla rushed In and
scratched the boys hands with her
long sharp claws Then she took
her baby very tenderly in her
mouth and ran home with 1t.

In most cases it is advisable to
gradually reduce the midday meal
until it consists of fruit only.
Finally even this may be
dropped. This means two meals a
day divided by period Of from
eight to 10 hours, and this plan
has been found by hundreds who
have adopted it under my advice
a perfectly satisfactory method of
diet.
To many people it will seem that
the dietary given above is too
light and that it does not contain
enough to sustain the body. FIRE.
quently on changing to such a
dietary the patient will complain
of sensation of weakness. So does
topper who suddenly stops drink
ing whisky-and for the same rea-
son. The patient misses the usual
stimulation of heavy foods.
At any rate. for each one the
matter is easily settled. A trial of
the above dietary for a fortnight
will convince the most skeptical of
the advantages of simple feeding.

consequently, when Herr Wink
lerhoff. with delicious idea of
moonlight upon shimmering lake
in his head, sat before his grand
piano to preserve the golden idea
as a masterpiece for posterity,
there were the toot and the tinkle
of notes from the Moorish minaret
above the tenth floor to the lOrdly
janitor's quarters in the basement.
The performers, however, were
artists and the medley did not
disturb Herr Otto Winklerhoff.
Instead, he shut his black, snappy
eyes, and rolling his bushy head
upon his shoulders. enticed from
the grand piano a thrice beautiful
set of opening bars.
"Himmel! but . it ISIS good"
sighed the professor, in true art
ecstacy. INIT him l will der for
tunes to make"
Then he closed the great, burn
ing eyes again, and, wagging the
bushy head, recommended the d.
vine work of creation. An airy,
seductive waltz-strain came one
two-three from the grand piano,
and the professor nearly wobbled
off the revolving stool in his &C.
stacy. He sighed and chuckled
and bumped his head against the
nymphs in pink and gilt upon the
panel, and then

most contempt for the black and
white notes which the professor
kadored, even to the sixty-fourth
degree.
= "Ah - ha - ha - ha - hee -
Eah, caroled the superb voice in
an ascending scale Of atrocious
technique; and Herr Winklerhoff
forgot the sheen of moonbeams on
the sapphire lake and banked his
fist down upon three sharps with
la discord that ratified the picture
Of Chopin on the wall.

"Ah - hee - all - ha - ha -

cent soprano, in a descending scale
of errors.
Herr Winklerhoff brought both
delicate hands down upon the key
board, producing a boom and blare
like bar from the Battle of Ma
rengo'; then he rushed into the
hallway. The door stood ajar,
disclosing a lady so beautiful in
her dreamy gaze that the profess
sor forgot his frenzy and fell down
and worshiped.

once to Nine. Kemmler. And
