How Not To Be Fat

In the July Woman's Home Com

time she found that she was losing
flesh slowly--less than half pound a
week Then she took up the prob

she writes in part as follows.

The Mother Tongue

In 2 number OF communities the
fxers are fussing about how many
foreign languages should be included
I'm next years public school course.
II is worth considering, for Amer.
leans are notably shy in languages.
Especially in Spanish, tongue which
the Panama canal will make neces-
sity in the near future.
But there's one language which, in
any event. we must learn TO teach
and 10 use more effectually. and that's
English
Do you happen TO be where you can
read many business letters? Arent
you struck by the large percentage
which express clumsily or fall 10 e1-
press at all what the writer has IN
mind?
In purely social correspondence
the letters between sweetheart and
friends-exactnes isn't so important,
for in them the heart speaks Ian
guage of its own.
But a fog in a business letter may
be almost as costly as a fog at sea.
Where large interests are at stake,
clearness and brevity are most de-
sirable.
Since English is our meal-ticket
tongue. whatever other things our
schools may offer, they should offer
the best possible training in its eff
clent use.
You'll be surprised young sir or
young miss, now that you have grad
mated how very little use you Will
find IN every day life for most OF the
theorems and exercises and problems
which have been pulling your head
in school.
Chances are you'll never refer
again 20 your trigonometry or cal
crlus or the intricacies OF the Greek
grammar. Above the rudiments OF
simple arithmetic, all those elaborate
formulas in "math" will seem like
time and gray matter wasted.
Bnt there's hardly a Job above the
very simplest which doesn't call for
a good working knowledge OF English.
You can get that in just one way
by dlligent practice.

some counties this is done by form

Store Today Makes An
Ideal Showing.

The d. NJ. ogden Company is hold
ing today it's annual spring opening
OF ladies' tailor-made garments. The
models consist of the latest designs
in coats, suits, dresses and skirts.
The STYLES this season are the most
beautiful ever shown, and the draped
effects in skirts and dresses are very
nopular. Suit coats this season are
very much shorter, while the skirts
have a tendency toward the soft,
clinging drapery effects. The over
skirt and minaret designs are also
very popular. In separate coats, the
lengths are medium. and the styles
are OF the plain and drape effects.
The cape sleeves are very popular IN
the fancy coats, while the mann1sh
sleeves are better suited for street
wear. The cloths used in these gar
ments are varied, but the popular
weaves have a tendency toward the
rough weaves and crepe effects. MORE
also is having the strongest demand
in many seasons, and the d. M. Ogden
Company are showing some wonder
full styles in MORE suits and separate
coats.
Taffeta suits are also being shown,
as we'll as separate coats and dresses,
in fact, the whole range of garments,
are made up in so many different
weaves and shades, that it is bewil-
der1ng TO the average customer. LIS
strong shades are wisteria, mahog-
any, tango, Russian green, paon, pur-
pie, Copenhagen and navy. 1t is GER
