When tWo-fifths of the regular food is
reduced, eating sparingly of fat and
bread with moderate exercise the re-
suits are never disagreeable. The loss
Of one pound or little less in week
is all that should be desired.
Milk, bread, butter, sugar and po-
tatoes are all fattening, and should be
almost entirely eliminated from the
diet of the corpulent person, or eaten
very sparingly.
Oranges are pleasant aid to the
woman who wants to grow thinner.
Take the juice of two sour oranges at
every meal. Use lemon juice for vim
egar; give up oil with salads. No
cream or sugar in coffee, sugarless

draughts of skim milk for the safe
reduction of flesh.

NEW PRODUCT is VALUABLE
Resinit Well Adapted for Impregnat.
ing Porous Substances to
Render Waterproof.

Resinit, new product, is described
by H. Lebach, German, as similir to
glass, celluloid, and hard rubber, but
superior to these and other substances
for many uses. 1t seems to be adapted
to great variety of purposes. 1t diff
fers from shellac and other natural
resins, as well as from various arti-
acial resins prepared from phenols
and aldehydes, in being slow burning,
infusible, insoluble, and unaffected by
acids and alkalies. A mixture Of
crystalized carbolic acid and 40 per
cent. solution of formaldehyde is
heated with potash, soda, or other al
kali or neutral salt The product is
yellowish, mobile liquid, which is an
impure resinit with much water, and
is adapted for impregnating porous
substances, like wood and paper, to
render them hard and waterproof. Dis
tilling off the water leaves a viscous
liquid of many possible applications.
When the thick liquid is heated for a
certain time to 175 degrees Fahren-
heit, and then to about 400 degrees,

Taste in Dress.

When one sees the young working
girl with her hair dressed in such
elaboration of detail that the casual
observer is attracted and wonders
how many hours were put into the OPP
Grafton, we must feel that such things
are not good taste.
A gown covered with lace and fur
bellows that have seen better days, is
not appropriate for an office or shop
girl. 1t is unreasonable to expect that
young people are not attracted by
pretty things; they should be, but a
gown and manner of dressing the hair
may be pretty, stylish, and yet simple
and in keeping with ones work. Style
is a great leader Of women, but ex-
tremes are never worn by those whose
taste is refined.
The old saw: "Re not the first by
which the new is tried; Nor yet the
last to lay the old aside" is a good
one to follow.
One expects lady to always be
neat, whatever else she may be in
appearance, and whatever may be
said in that regard, neatness costs
much. Attention to the little things
are the earmarks Of well dressed
girl, or woman. A frayed skirt braid,
or wrinkled, soiled skirt, gloves that
need a few stitches or shoes innocent
of backing, any one of these will mar
the appearance and class one as care
less and slovenly.
If one is a busy woman working all
day with only the evenings to sew
and mend, it means real sacrifice to
use the precious hours for pressing
and mending; but what splendid inter
est comes back in the satisfaction of
knowing oneself well dressed We all
need education on "the eternal fitness
of things" but let us have done with
the initiating of the dress of women
of wealth, who may have hat to
match every gown. and who far toe
often need lessons themselves in good

Boys Essay on Clothing.

Here is an extract from an essay.
written by boy in a London school
Clothing is an article which every.
body should wear The least Of this
article is worn by savages or natives,
which is piece of cloth or a few
leaves or feathers round the waist. in
cold countries, same as Eskimos, the
people wear more clothes than we do,
count of the icy cold out there. They
can skate all the year round, except
about one thaw there is in summer.
If they walked about like natives they
would catch cold directly and die of
bronkitis. We put clothes on which
are nearly like our bodies, some have
caps, coats and trousers, but women
and girls wear hats and frocks to tell
who they are" xagans ssf,g II.
