Diet for the Lean.

Diet Tor the Lean.
\ DR.. Louis Henry Levy, in Pictorial
Review says:
although the lean individual may be
the more agile and vigorous, leanness
is also associated with those Of a
nervous temperament. It Is not al
ways q desirable condition, since 1t
prematurely ages the face by the early
appearance Of wrinkles. 1t is also the
accompaniment Of chronically diseased
stomachs, resulting from disturbed
digestion and poor absorption of the
digested foods.
'The foods which are best adapted
for the lean are those that have been
denied to the obese person-the
-starches, sugars, and fats, but suffi-
cient care must be exercised to pre-
vent disturbing an entirely good stom-
ach. Let the lean one eat we'll Of the
rich foods and sever relations with
the sour and spicy ones. Above all,
let her cultivate a sunny, restful dis
position, with a nervous system under
steady control, for these are the trade
marks of the robust and plump per-
son."

Sure to Please Grandma
Observation-Disclosures

What to give to grandma is the
question that puzzles young heads at
Christmas times.
Here is a little tea coy which is
sure of a welcome from grandma, and
it is the simplest thing imaginable to
make. Printed Japanese silk or silk
alene or cretonne will serve the pur-
pose with equally good results, and 1t
takes very little of any one of these
materials, even for the largest size
in teapots.
This coy is made of four sections
of figured silk sewed together to form
the outside, and four similar sections
of plain silk or other materials sewed
together to form the lining. When the
lining has been made, it is covered
with a thick layer of cotton batting
tackled down to it in several places and
the cover is slipped on over it. Then
the raw edges of both materials are
turned up and overcast together. A
very full bow of many loops OF bright
satin ribbon is sewed to the top.
The gayest and brightest of coiors
make the tes coy cheerful part Of
tea drinking. 1t slips on over the pot
ADD Keeps the tea hos for long time.

Candles for the lunch or dinner ia
BILE, candles for the living room and
candles for the dressing table are
among the gifts that delight everybody.
Among them are classed small electric
lamps Gotten made to simulate the old
fashioned candle) which are used as
substitute for candles. Glass candle
sticks prove easiest to keep clean and
shining and are therefore the best
choice for the dining room and the
dressing room. Brass or gilded candle
sticks, or those Of mahogany, are liked
for living rooms or the library.
It is the gay little shade that makes
candlelight so fascinating. This year
there are the usual silk shades in rose,
or other colors, with gold lace and the
tiniest silk flowers festooned on them,
and shades of many other things. There
are some wonderfully pretty shades
made Of paper and they include some
novelties made Of stiff paper as well as
the popular and familiar crepe paper
kinds.
A bedroom candle, all leady to cast
it's soft glow on the dressing table, is
shown at the left Of the picture. 1t
is made of thin, white cardboard or
even thinner paper, with strips OF
black pasted on it. A cluster Of three
small roses and fine foliage, made of
colored sealing wax decorates the shade
in two places. The candlestick Is Of
glass and the shade holder slips over
the top of the candle supporting a
mica protector for the paper shade us
we'll as the shade.
At the right a pretty little lamp Is
made for the same purpose as the can
die. 1t is all of paper rope and wire.
The stand and shade are white and
both have small bluebirds Of happiness
(made of sealing wax) pictured IN
flight across them. An unWoven
space is left in the shade for a blue
satin ribbon, which is strung through
It and tied in a bow. The lamp is fit
ted with small electric bulb at the
top. ..
Lamps made in the same way for
the living room are Of brown or green
paper rope with any color in the rib
bon, and decorations that may be flow
ers or birds or figures. A chain at
tached to the lamp turns the light on

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Not long ago a
man came to me who was nearly half
a century old and asked me to give
him a preliminary examination for
life insurance. l was astonished to
find him with the blood pressure OF Il
boy of 20 and as full of vigor, vim and

would only throw away patent medi-
cines and nauseOus connections and
take simple nuxated iron, am con-
vinced that the lives Of thousands Of
persons might be saved, who now die
every year from pneumonia, grippe,
consumption, kidney, liver and heart
trouble, etc. The real and true cause
which started their diseases was moth
ing more nor less than weakened
condition brought on by lack of iron in
the blood. Iron is absolutely neces-
sary to enable your blood to change
food into living tissue. Without it, no
matter how much or what you eat,
your food merely passes through you
without doing you any good. You don't
get the strength out of it and as con-
sequence you become weak, pale and
slckly looking just like n plant trying
to grow in soil deficient in iron. If
you are not strong or well you owe it
to yourself to make the following test:
See how long you can work or how far
you can walk without becoming tired.

No one ever heard of Christmas

for men. They are selected from
number of small cushions made to hang
or stand within easy reach near the
