without flour or fat thickening.
Flsh-Fried, salt or smoked of any
kind cooked without fat or butter.
Lean meats-No ham, liver or pork.
Eggs-Any style, poached, SHRED,
omlet or dropped.
Game-Poultry, chicken, duck tur-
key, etc.
Vegetables - Tomatoes, turnips.
squash, carrots, string beans, onions,
cabbage, peas, caulifiower, asparagus,
salads, celery, watercress, pickles of
any kind.
Bread made of gluten.
Conee and tea. Water in any quan-
tity should be taken except with meals.
Milk sparingly.
May not eat:
Sugar and all substances containing
sugar (sweet cakes, ice cream. tellies,
preserved fruits, etc.
All fatty substances, oils, sardines.
butter, cream. gravies.
White bread oatmeal and rice, pota-
toes and all foods containing starch.
Never lie down after meals. Mans

Women who are well often ask care

why do women write such letters %
In answer we say that never have we
published a fictitious letter or name.
Never, knowingly, have we published
an untruthful letter, or one without the
full and written consent of the woman
who wrote it.
The reason that thousands of women
from all parts of the country write such
grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pink

SKlLLFUL USE OF THE BOW
Flag Raised in English Village in a
Manner Most Distinctly
Original.

The little village OF Railway, stu
ated on the historic battlefield of
Edgehill, claims distinction in having
hoisted its coronation flag in unique
manner. In fact, Railways flag is
probably the only one in the empire
that was run up by means of bow
and arrow deftly handled.
After erecting the large tent on the
green for the village festivities, 1t
was found that provision for flying a
flag on its forty-foot pool had been
overlooked, while bad fracture in
the latter rendered attempts to rem
edy the oversight highly risky. At
this crisis it happened that Mr. Pres
colt Davies. the artist-author. was re-
hearing a pastoral play that formed
part of Railways coronation program
Archery was a feature of this Robin
Hood play, and the author promptly
came to the aid of the perplexed tent
committee by Offering to shoot a line
through a hook at the top of the pole.
Attaching thin string to an arrow
and taking a trial shot to test the
allowance needed for a strong wind,
Mr. Prescott Davies drove his shaft
| and line neatly through the hook A
stronger cord was then drawn up and
the Union Jack hoisted amid the
| cheers of the astonished Villagers
