The One Dish Diet.

A food specialist said of dieting:
"The simplest. easiest and most eff
cacious diet to bring down the weight
is the one dish diet. At no meal. that
is. should more than one dish BIZ
eaten
1.-THE dish may be what you will
Irish stew, macaroni and cheese, roast
beef. vegetable soup. bacon and eggs
but no courses are to precede or fol
low 1t. You may eat as much as you
choose of the dish. and yet for all that
you will lose weight steadily.
ITS the variety of dishes-the oys
ters. soup. fish. turkey, mince pie. ice
cream-it's the variety of dishes. ere
ating an artificial appetite when the
body has really had all it requires
that causes corpulence. If we confine
ourselves to one dish we know when
we've had enorgh-we don't know 9th
erwise-and the result Is that we soon
drop down TO the slimness natural tt

Dot and Trousseau,

Dealing with the weaknesses Of &C
tors. some noted for meanness. a Paris
contemporary relates good story OF
Frederick Lemaitre, the celebrated &C
tor. who was somewhat parsimonious
When his daughter was about to
marry, Lemaitre agreed to provide the
"dot" and the trousseau. "Dot." il
may be observed, is the French equiv
alent for the English dover or Scot
fish "tocher."
When the notary came to complete
the contract and was reading the
terms Lemaitre said: 1.-THE daughter OF
Frederick Lemaitre has not need of q
dot. M. lie Notaire, strike out the
dot"
The prospective son-in-law was pres
emit. and he had the courage to reply
''The daughter of Frederick Lemaitre
can easily clothe herself with the fame
Of her father. NJ. LIE Notaire, pray
strike out the trousseau."

The cry of the loon is one of the

wonder that it has so often been woven
into song and legend.

Almost all writer's who have attempt

Thus Mr.. Vernon Bailey, speaking of
the sound, describes 1t as follows:
"Only on the lonely lake in the heart
of the woods do you get the startling
thrill of the looms wild cry-one clear
piercing note or long. quavering.i de
