Want chanseable Dressesl

At the recent international Congress
of Applied Chemistry in London one
of the most celebrated lecturers. Gia-
como Ciamician, predicted that women
of the future will not be contented
with dress which remains constantly
of one color, but will demand colors
that change in harmony with their sur
roundings.
Thus the color of the apparel may
be changed without changing the
dress. Passing from darkness to light
the color would brighten, thus con-
forming automatically to the environ
ment-the last word in fashion for the
future.
This prediction will come true as
soon as chemists learn to understand
better what are called "phototropic
colors," or colors that change with
the intensity of the light upon them.
In mems wear this might mean that
the light-colored suit of the bright
summer day would be transformed
into a dark suit at night.

ADVICE FOR THE CORPULENT
German Physician Says to Cut Out
One Solid Meal From the Menu
for the Day.

One Doctor Galisch, a German ply
stefan of Rothenfelde, has devised a
simple drugless method of removing
fat, which, If the doctors claims for 1t
are justified, deserves the attention
of the laity. He declares that he can
shave down the obese man at the rate
of two pounds per week, without in
any way straining his nervous sys-
tenn or heart. There is, 1t appears, a
theory that fat is accumulated prinoi-
pally during sleep, and DR.. Galisch,
bordering this, in connection with an
observation of his own that corpu-
lent folks usually eat very hearty
meal, came to the conclusion that an
elimination of that meal would de-
prive the fat man of his raw material
during sleep, and thus reduce him to
normal proportions.
A very little experimenting justified
this conclusion, he says, and now the
Galisch method has been added to
banting and the other anti-fat modes
Of life. DR.. Galisch suggests the fol-
lowing dietetic itinerary for daily use:
First breakfast, bread, butter and tea;
second breakfast 10 a. M, egg and
a small tart, dinner Il p. M, meat
vegetables, salad preserves; after.
noon tea a D. m.), coffee. crackers or
bread and butter, supper (no time
set), one small tart. There appears
to be no quantitive limit for the mid
day meal, so the system really
amounts to the elimination Of all but
one solid meal a day"
