Diet for Weight Reduction.

Fuel is the main food requirement
Of the body. A certain amount of fuel
keeps the engines of the body working
normally and produces energy. The
surplus of fuel derived from the food
forms layers of fat. So it is evident
that the matter of keeping the body
weight where you wish to have it is
merely matter of arithmetic, says
Popular Science Monthly.
Certain foods have an enormous fuel
value in comparison with others. For
instance, it would require SO worth of
lettuce and tomato salad to furnish
the amount of energy that 80 cents
worth of butter or 10 cents worth of
sugar would supply. No one would
think of feeding exclusively on any of
these foods, but it is easy to see that
the limitation of butter and sugar and
the Introduction of such foods as let
tuce, tomatoes celery, carrots, spin
ach and fruits, all of which have low
fuel value, instead of fats, milk, cream
and oil, pastry and sweets, would enor-
mously reduce the fat-forning ele.
ments in the diet and yet fill the stom.
ach and satisfy hunger.

ROYAL ROAD TO HAPPINESS
Much Depends on Making Proper Use
of What One Is Fortunate
Enough to Possess.

Upon the use we make of what we
have depends in large measure not
only our success in life, but, what is
more to the point, our happiness, re-
marks Charleston News and Courier.
1t is because we do not appreciate the
blessings that we possess that so many
of us fail, because common sense tells
us that if we have the ability to I'M
derstand and appreciate the gifts and
favorS that are shOwered upon us we
would, at the same time, possess the
ability to make the right use of them.
Of course, there are cases where cir
cumstances for the time being at least
prevent us from applying our talents
to the best possible use, but such cir
cumstances do not stand in our way
all the time, and if we have sufficient
determination and perseverance the
chances are that we will in the end
make good use of what we have, pro-
vided we thoroughly appreciate the
latter. Our talents, fortunately, do not
all lie in the same direction any more
than our personal inclinations do, and
those things that bring joy and graft
fication to one person will not satisfy
the ambitions of another, simply be-
cause the latter's ambitions and abil-
ities are of a different nature.

COMBINE TRUTH AND HUMoR
Pithy Epitaphs on Tombstones in Brit
ish Cemeteries Are Worth More
Than Passing Notice.

In search for the unusual, one
would scarcely expect to come across
1t on tombstone. But full justice
can in some cases be done to a de-
ceased in a single word.
There is a stone in bennington GEM
etery dedicated to the memory of one
J. T. Burgess, who before laying aside
the trammelS of this mundane sphere
edited the bennington Spa Courier.
His career and end are adequately
summed up in one word-"Resting."
A departed auctioneer who lived in
the city of Worcester had inscribed on
his memorial stone as an epitaph,
Gone" Brief, economical and retro
spective. In Sussex graveyard may
be seen stone on which are chiseled,
after the name and date of death of
the deceased, just two expressive
words-"He was" Surely a sermon
In a nutshell.
But two of the strangest as well as
the briefest epitaphs are to be found
on stones in Cane Hill cemetery, Bel
fast. On one of them, erected to the
memory of lazy fellow by one who
evidently knew him well, are the
words, "Asleep Gas usuaD." On the
other, 'Left Till Called For"

AFFECTED BY ICE DEPOSITS
Seeming Proof That Crust of the Earth
Has Had Periods of Rising
and Falling.

The elastic character of the earth's
crust is one of the most certain facts
OF observation; great areas rise and
fall under the action of varying pres
sures. 1t is, therefore, reasonable to
suppose that the accumulation in pleis-
tocene times of vast continental gla-
ciers one or two miles in depth would
exert such downward weight pressure
as to cause a subsistence of the great
areas affected.
This seems to be borne out by a
marked and very apparent rise of land
in the northeastern section of the
North American continent, in COM
paratively recent times. H. L. Fair
child, writing in Science, states that
this area, covered by the latest Amer
lean ice sheet, the Labradorian glacier,
stood much below its present position,
relative to sea level, when the ice
sheet melted off, and that slow uplift
brought the land to it's present a1ti-
tude. This is indicated by the pres
ence of the remains of sea animals
and plants throughout inland parts,
by beach formations in parts now
away from the sea and general geo.
logical considerations.
The region of this recent rise of land
extends from New Jersey to Hudson
strait and as far inland as Wiscon-
sin.

Childish SeIfishness,

Unself1shness is one of the virtues
which has to be cultivated, for we are
not born unselfish. We have to be
taught this virtue and of course the
greatest teacher of all is love. 1 am
inclined to think love. is the only
teacher. Henderson says, ''To get
children interested in impersonal
things is to make them unavoidably
nnselfish. Solitary children, only sons
and daughters, are, as rule, extreme
~ selfish, for the simple reason that
their lives have been so overwhelming
ly personal. The way out is through
group activities on the part of the
whole family through pleasures as well
as through service. If life is to be
permanently successful and happiness
genuine and secure, the major interest
must be impersonal, must have to do
with something bigger than the little
self, must concern itself with the abid-
ing and universal things" Bar
