should be an important part of it; she may have an egg once in a while, if she wishes 1t; her coffee or tea,-one cup of either-is a matter of course. For the benefit of those who shrink from the thought of taking these beverages with out sugar or cream I may state that l have known many persons who have come to the point that any addition to tea or coffee destroyed all enjoyment of the beverage Like most oth, things in this world, the taste for " trimmings" " with the tea or. coffee is matter of habit.
 At luncheon meat or fish. any of the vegetables I have named, salad which contains little oil, and fruit may be served. The same sort of m cal may conn rose the dinner. Soups must be omitted. When vegetables are dressed heavily with butter or with a cream sauce, for the sake of the other members of the household, it is an easy thing to take out q portion for oneself before adding the forbidden articles, or to eat the fish as is comes to the table and omit the sauce. Celery root, onions, and other vegetables which have a cream sauce upon them may be served for the whole family and the dieter may lift the vege- tables out of the sauce without having gone to the trouble of preparing a sep arate supply for herself.
 Gravies. sauces, and the like are among the things to be renounced and one must go lightly on butter, cream, or milk. The more strenuous advocates of strict diet forbid these, but to my mind without suf bcient reason. The little damage they do when partaken of sparingly is more than offset by the benefit to the general condition in taking them and by the hlitp they give to the appetite.
 Does this outline of diet appear meager and can it's pursuance be construed into Q genuine hardship? I do not believe so except for those who are unduly addict cd to hearty eating. How does my cor respondent feel about 1t and what is the opinion of other readers? Have they any helpful suggestions to offer?
 To obtain the best results from diet it must be supplemented by vigorous exer- eise-walking, mild ealisthenics, and the like. Housework performed when prop- erly clothed for 1t and in a room full of fresh air. is to be commended. and the busy housemother may have the satis- faction of feeling she is accomplishing two good results at one time

Here l am reminded of the plaint of a friend who was recently lamenting the trials she found in the path of reduction. " am almost starver," she said. II can't have things for myself different from those I have for the rest of the family. It is too much trouble and ex- pense. So l just nibble little here and there and I am hungry all the time."
 That such course is not necessary and that it is not requisite to provide a spe- cal bill of fare for the woman who is trying to lose flesh may be determined

tial. You can eat all you wish if you will take the right articles. I may remark in passing that the theory that most per sons eat altogether too much is gaining ground all the time and many of the dis
 eases that afflict middle life and age are laid at the door of overindulgence in the
 pleasures of the table. You need not follow the old injunction to rise from the table hungry, but at least you need not consume more than you want and leave

We check cutrageous greediness in our children, but sometimes I wonder if it would not be a good thing for the elders occasionally to practice for themselves what they preach to their juniors.

 The friend who asked for the canary has been supplied. Perhaps some one else would be glad to get the one Mrs. w. A. R. thinks she can give. As to the old lady, it is another matter. I am sure that if any one has a photograph to bestow she would be willing to send it to the lonely woman; but all I can do is to print her request, and the case is the same with regard to the room to build on the cement house. The proposition must sound alluring to those who wish to have foothold in the mountains for their summer outing, and hope some one may be able to make the arrangement sug- gested by Mrs. W. A. R. I will be happy to send the address of Mrs. w. A. R. to any one who wishes to communicate with her about the canary, the photograph, or the house.

Rcncdv for Moth.

Recently I saw a request for a remedy for the silver fish moth. Here is one government department sent out: Make cooked paste of flour and water; stir in cents worth of white arsenic, spread on cardboard and put near the haunts of the moth. They have fondness for paste. Put the pieces behind pictures. too. as the moth are found there. Be careful not to leave it where small children may set it. as it is poisonous. I have last years magazines that any one can have by paying postage. l have rheumatism. and am kept at home and it would be much more trying if did not have all I want 10 read, so that I feel for those who are less fortunate than I.

 So far as my memory serves me this prescription differs from the others that have been sent in for the washing fluid asked for. Itrust 1t may help other house keepers besides the one who first request ed it and am grateful to B. s. w. for sending it.

BURGLARY in POLITICS
Rob Homes of Officials and Steal Cor
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Woman.

Paris, June 20.-Recent burglaries
in Paris have developed extraordinary
accounts of political intrigue and
blackmail mixed with house breaking.
The story begins with the robbing of
the apartment of Louis MalVy, minis
ter of the interior, where, among other
things, the bandit laid hands upon a
little strong box filled with interesting
papers, including number of letters
from minister Joseph Caillaux, a
strong political friend of M Malvy.
This find, the story goes on, sug-
gested that there was a rich mine for
exploitation in the homes of politicians
and the next attempt was upon the
apartment of NJ. CaillauX to get pos
session of the other side of the cor
respondence found in M. Malvy's
strong box. Here they missed the way
and broke into an apartment under
meath that of NJ. Caillaux. Their next
enterprise was against the apartment
of the late Senator Davids, where they
made a big haul of papers. -
One of the persons arrested for COM
plicity in these robberies, a former
model in a fashionable Partisan dress
making esta blishment, has declared
that if she is granted four days lib
erty she will recover the papers stolen
from M. Malvy. She also ayers that
the operations of the band were pro-
voked by its auxiliaries in the secret
service, who are under the orders of
NJ. Malvy as minister of the interior.

Missouri Golfers Begin Cham
piOnship Play Today.
st. Louis Gets Big State Event
for Next Year.

Kansas City. Mo-. June 20.-With
class B, c, special and surprise flights
scheduled for this morning and the
championship flight set for this after
noon, the 352 golfers attending the
Missouri state golf tournament looked
forward today for some of the best
sport in the history of the state clas-
sic. Some excellent scores were
turned in Monday, despite the rainy
weather.
Interest today turned toward the
match between Ralph Sackman, the
Swope Park entry, and Arthur Eek
land of the Shawnee Heights club,
Sterling Edmunds and Edward A

old player of the Swope Park club, of
this city, tied for medal honors with
score of seventy-nine in the qualifying
round.
Cartoons card was turned in late
in the day, after medal honor had been
conceded to Keck. Wonderful golf
was played by the St Louisan from his
first drive to the sinking of the put on
the eighteenth hole. Fourteen holes
We're made in par and the remaining
four in DOGGY. His well balanced play
made him a favorite for final honors.
Keck's game was spectacular but
sound. His flashiest piece of work for
the day was the laying of a beautiful
midiron shot from the tee of No. 4,
a par 8, DOGGY 4, 17O-yard hole, to
within two feet of the pin and holing
out in two.
The following out of town players
with their scores are included in the

WALKING, PARIS FAD
For Sake of Health and Economy 1t
Superscdes Motoring.

Paris, June 20.-Pedestrianism is
being revived in France. The women
particularly are taking to walking,
even though they may have ample
means to indulge in motoring, both for
the kealthful exercise and the econ
omy. The new and more commodious
styles of women's skirts make walking
easier, and there is a certain amount
of rusticity about the new fashions
that does not go well with the motor
car, and it is suggested that this latter
point has been an aesthetic reason for
the revival of walking.
Every morning the popular alleys of
the Bots de Boulogne are turned into
training quarters by these new adopts
of pedestrianiSm. The reduced num-
Der of motor cars flying around Paris
and the consequent diminution of the
dust nuisance on the suburban roads
has made walking to Saint Cloud and
other delightful spots more com

TODAY'S BEAUTY HELP

You can keep your hair at its very
best by washing it with this simple,
the hair and scalp thoroughly of all
the dandruff and dirt and leaves a
clean, wholesome feeling: just use a
teaspoonful of canthrox dissolved in a
cup of hot water, afterwards rinsing
thoroughly with clean water. One
finds that the hair dries quickly and
evenly, is unstreaked, bright, soft and
fluffy, so fluffy in fact that it looks
more abundant than it is, and so soft
that arranging it becomes a pleasure
All scalp irritation will disappear and
the hair will be brighter than ever
