time the balance goes to the right foot,
the left being slightly raised to begin

one backward. Emphasize your bend,
raise the arms higher, bring the right
leg to horizontal position, and keep the

&c AONE eneese, more properly
% known as American Cheddar,
is more nourishing. pound
for pound, than any meat and therefore
should have a prominent place in the
diet as a meat substitute. says a state
ment issued today by the United States
Department Of Agriculture.
Few people in this country eat
cheese in sufficient quantities for it
really forms an important part Of the
daily fare, says the statement. I'm
deed, it is used more often simply as an
appetizer or as a seasoning for some
other food. Nearly every ono relishes
good American Cheddar or store
cheese, but thcresis an impression that
It IS indigestible and eonstipating. Ex-
tensive digestion experiments carried on
by the Department of Agriculture have
demonstrated that more than o5 Der
cent of the protein of cheese is digested
and 20 per cent of its energy is avail
able. Even when eaten in large ouanti-
ties and for long periods, no case Of in
digestion. constipation. or other dis
turbanee was observed in those who
ate it. One man who ate cheese as the
chief source of both protein and energy,
eating an average Of o.27 ounces daily,
with bread and fruit for more than two
years, did a fair amount of muscular
work and kept in good health.
American Cheddar cheese is a very
satisfactory substitute for meat 1t can
be kept in storage for long time and
contains much food in small volume.
"A pound of cheese supplies more
than twice as much energy as a pound
of fowl or round steak and almost
twice as much protein as the same
amount of fowl or ham. Cheese, there
fore. is usually a cheaper food than the
meats.
Cheese can also be combined in
many palatable dishes. When grated

weight is menace to health, that life
insurance companies have found great
er mortality among over weights, and
accordingly have raised their insurance
rate.
How did she reduce? Nothing mys-
teriousl No drugsl No fasting She
didn't eat ground eggshells, as one wo-
man did. She learned that hunger is
emptiness of the stomach rather than
a demand of food by the whole system.
In the words of famous medical di-
rector, who advised her in the matter.
she restricted her fuel foods and
burned up her own fat" She ate foods
that satisfy hunger and stopped those
that make fat. Many books in the
public library on food and hygiene name
the fuel foods.
She exercised because she was told
that the over-fat should walk briskly at
least three or four miles a day and take
regular exercises.
At thirty the fat lady weighed is4.
which was twenty pounds too much for
her age and height. Five years later
she weighed l54. which is right for a
woman of thirty-hve who is five feet
four inches tall. Any woman who wants
to know what to weigh for her age and
height can easily get table of relative
weights, heights and ages, from the
lanly girl of fifteen, who is four feet

CHOOSING
YOUR DRESS

"a said about dress in its various
aspects. We hear animated dis
cussions on the possibilities Of colors,
the position of the waist. the size Of
an armhole; the claims OF different
sleeves are quite earnestly debated and
reams devoted to the weighty question
of tub or barrel versus draped or plain
where skirts are concerned
And yet. oddly enough. it is very rare
to find any one seeking guidance as to
which of the many wares spread before
her by fashion will prove becoming, and
rarer still to find any suggestion, save
the most banal, given on the subject
Perhaps this is because the fair land
of France is by common consent the
home of fashion, with the Parisienne as
its best exponent, and the Parisienne
above all things possesses an innate
sense of clothes.
Sany fashion writers consciously or
unconseiously model their methods as
naturally on Paris as does the dress
designer her or his, creations" With
women who dress" in any true sense
of the word it is quite superauous to
dwell on this side of the matter. But
that innate guiding sense certainly
does not exist in every case, or one
would never see beautiful clothes worn
by the wrong woman.
II has been left to the coat dress and
chemise frock type of garment to DEM
onstrate this very clearly. These are
fashions evolved for the shapely erea-
ture. She should have well moulded
hips, curved shoulders, a decided devel-
opment Of what we understand by the
generic term of figure. And then she
looks uncommonly well in this type of
shapeless garment. But any and every
girl and young woman, almost devoid Of
hips, thin and straight as dart, wears
it. too. And in doing so paints the
moral of this tale.
For the result is at the best lack of
distinction amounting TO dowdiness. At
the worst-well, one has only to go into
any assemblage of ordinarily well
dressed people to see it.
For these shapeless garments essen
tally want rounded hips and we'll mould
ed shoulders and pretty curves inside
them. They want, indeed, to suggest
that they cover a woman and not a
stick No matter whether that stick be
the most charmingly graceful willow
wand or the veriest bean pole.
And really and truly. the slight. 1.-THE.
small hipped girl, provided she has well
balanced shoulders, has no cause to
complain. She has had her innings very
decidedly. and for years fashions have
been run off the reel which suit her

at the same time keep the right knee
as stiff as possible. To be exact, Fig. )
should bring the feet about two or
three PAGES apart. Practice this move
ment, leaning on the edge of low ta-
bic until you are able to maintain your
balance alone
There is more lonee-bending and stiF-
kneeing in the next exercise. With the
LETT foot maintaining the balance, slide
the right foot forward, knee straight, at
the same time bending the left knee
slowly until it touches the floor. Again
the arms are raised straight out from
the sides; that alone helps to preserve
The equilibrium. Fig. 5 shows the cor
rect final position.
More contortional is the movement
illustrated in Figs. and z. This is
practieed against free wall space, with
the weight of the body supported by the
left foot. The right foot is some few
PAGES in advance of the left, both being
at a comfortable distance from the wall
to permit Of free bend. Bring the hands
above the head, palms forward. Now
bend arms and waist at the same time
until the palms are fiat against the wall.
Crawl down the wall, so to speak,
slowly until you have reached the limit
of your bending possibilities. But just
a word of caution-remember not to
overdo.
1t might be advisable before discuss
ing Figs 8, and 10, which make up the
fourth movement, to suggest that they
will very probably offer all sorts of dis
couragement. However, there's d-al
of fun in losing your balance now and
then, so that in itself eompensates for
the lack of immediate success. Shift
