R. R. CLOCKS TO
BE- TURNED BACK
| HOUR SUNDAY

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-(By
Associated Press. Railroad officers
and employees have been instruuted to
turn their watches back one hour at
2 o'clock Sunday morning when the
daylight saving law becomes inoper-
ative, Director General Hines said
today.
Trains in the terminals when the
change comes will be held until the
scheduled time of departure under the
new time.
Although the railroads will move
their clocks back one hour Sunday
morning, under the Baines law the
western half of Georgia, or that por-
ton now in the Central time zone,
will not change it's clocks, while the
people in the present Eastern time
zone will set theirs back an hour.
This will give the entire state the
same time, instead Of the state being
split into two time zones. However,
in the present Central time zone
there will be some confusion because
Of the fact that there will be two
official times, railroad and state, state
time being "fast" and railroad "slow"
time.

Through its social morality lee
ture work by women physicians for
women and girls of this country
prior to the war, during the period
OF the war and since the signing of
the armistice, the Social Morality
committee came to realize the vital
need of an educational programme
more far-reaching in its scope.
How should this be accom-
plished7 First, the Social Morality
Committee believed that leading
women doctors OF the world. who
are in the best position to know
the needs of women and girls as to
health, should meet for extensive
study, the interchange of ideas and
experiences. and the consideration
of methods for carrying Oh the
work.
Second, the committee realized
that in order to place its educa-
tional work upon the broad basis
desired, the interest and co-opera-
ton of prominent non-medical wo-
men of the country should be en-
listed.
Therefore, limited number Of
physicians from several European
countries and China, India. Japan
and South America were invited to

scream at one anotherl The most

employed to get her into it.

a negligee that isn't hand painted

Not since the gloomy shape OF

world did the tickle goddess of

Wants to Grow Thin.

| Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: ]
am writing you not for advice for
Glove" but for some advice on how
to reduce surplus flesh. Can you
give the address of some place
where l can secure anti-fat or some
place or treatment that l can take
to reduce my flesh?
FRANCES BROWNING.
Ask a fat man or woman to diet
and almost without exception they
But be mouse in the corner and
you will find them eating candy,
starch and all sorts Of fattening
foods. And they eat heartily of
them. If you really want to grow
thin 1t Is a simple matter. Take no
breakfast at all and drink four glass
fulls Of hot water. For lunch take
cup Of hot tea and lettuce sand
wich, or a tomato sandwich or any
filing Of the non-fat variety-one
remember, not four or five. This
sandwich should be made Of bran
bread or toasted bread. For dinner
take very little and let that little
consist Of vegetables without starch.
The first week will be a terrible or
deal, but as you eat less the size
of the stomach Is reduced and soon
you will not care much about food.
Then, Of course, it will be no hard
ship to diet.
You may be very fond OF food,
but you will be so happy over the
result the price will be easy. Your
skin will be saggy for very short
time, but it will right itself in a
month. Then it will be much clear
er and finer than before. The latest
people grow thin without medicines.
