And It was explained to me today. Miss
Fannie Lu Gill, the attractive young
woman from Virginia, who Is a senior at
Drexel Institute, our dietitian, has made il
all very clear to us all
There are certain laws about food which
work out the human destiny. If, for in
stance, a man lies quietly in bed all of the
twenty-four hours of day he needs twelve
calorles Of food for every pound he weighs
&c. you see IL a man weighing 100 pounds
lies In bed all Of the twenty-four hours he
would need at least 1900 calories of food
But II that same man were working with
IN energy sufficient to develop muscular
strength he would require from "a to two
ealories for every pounu FOR every hour he
works and the correct proportion of the
we've calores for every pound while he
sleeps
Well. Miss Gill has taken all our weights
and has found out what sort of work we do
curing our waking hours and found out
now many hours we sltep-and she has
made out what we call our "see-see," which

Helps and Hndrances to Happiness" said
that 1t is not an impossbility to keep from

cannot resist" he declared. But, for eX-
ample, II man who swears a great deal is
talking 20 Clergyman he will undoubtedly
refrain frem cursing and swearing while
talking This shows that it is not an inn
possibility to keep away from one of the
worst habits which men form.
ITO continually sin makes you unhappy,
and the reason YOU are so is because you
think 1t is impossible to keep from sin. If
people would only practice keeping their
minds on what they do this unhappy feel
ing would vanish"

weeks notifying those who are in ar

response, which is greatly appreciated
by US. When it is considered that we

the aggregate sum is large. We hope
our subscribers are pleased with the
paper we are giving them, which we
are doing at large expense, much
more so than perhaps some realize,

Get Your Name on the Honor
Roll BY Contributing TO the
Thanksgiving Fund
Kick Thru Now

One week has elapsed since the
commencement of the contribu-
tions to the Sedgwick County
Soldiers Boys Thanksgiving
Fund, and the fund is starting
off in fairly good shape-but
there should be large number
more of contributors.
We cannot afford to forget our
soldier boys. and this will be one
way of showing the boys that
we have heartfelt interest in them.
Let's make Thanksgiving a cheerful
one for the boys who are serving
their country 1t is the least we can
do. The amount each one of the folks
at home are asked to contribute to
this fund is small-but words cannot
express how much this little remem-
brance will be appreciated by the boys
who have left our midst to fight for
Uncle Sam.
If your name does not already ap-
pear on the list of contributors to the
Sedgwick County Soldier Boys Thank
giving Fund-we suggest that you go
to either one of the banks and make
your contribution, and do so at once.
The contributions to this fund will
close Saturday, Nov. II. AS stated
in this paper last week, the amount Of
the contribution of each individual Is
limited to $l.0O, and from that amount
down to nickels and dimes. Thus
every citizen of this community should
make contribution of some amount.
Below we publish the list of those
who have made contributions thus far,
and we hope to be able to publish
much larger list in our next iuuse.
