HOW ABOUT YOUR WEIGHT?

the reducer: Chicken. game, lean meat
fish not cooked in fat celery, bulky
vegetables of low food value, tapioca,
unsweetened fruits. Add simple exer-
cises. Diets the thing. Stick to it and
reduee-not too fast-the long life folks
say.
Sugar and cream and olive oil and
candy and nuts are for the fattening of
the thin ladies, provided they follow the
correct formula and find out what foods
supply the right number of caiorics. As
an example, fat and thin should know

ARMENIA SEEKS RECOGNITION
AS AN INDEPENDENT NATION

Paris Jan, 2S.-Armenian repre-
sentatives in Paris at meeting last
night voted to forward to the peace
conference and the parliament of the
allied governments a resolution pro-
testing against the recognition of
Armenia as co-beuige7ent and the
refusal to admit its delegates to the
peace conference. The resolution de-
clares that in addition to refusing Of
fers from Germany and Turkey, the
Armenians embraced the allied cause
It the first opportunity and fought
side by side with the allies until the
end. The Armenians. it is said, fought
on the French, Syrian and Caucasus
fronts.
The resolution recalls that after the
Brest-Litovsk treaty of peace the
poorly provisioned Armenian army
alone resisted the Turkish advance.
IN recognition Of these efforts. the
resolution asks that the allied and as
sociated powers recognize the rights
of the Armenian nation, set their seal
on its independence already pro-
Claimed and admit its delegates to the
peace conference, so that the solution
of the Armenian question may be
made with the consent of the Arrnen-

of the German Austrian national as
sembly, in a statement today to the

was impossible to form a fedora ion

A misunderstanding regarding the
present. status of German Austria is ap-
parent in the outside world" Herr
Seitz declared, The belief is general
that it is merely the shrunken remains
of the world monarchy minus the
states which have established their
own government. German Austria to-
day is no more the shrunllen remains
of the old state than CZecho -Slo-
vakia or Hungary. It is simply an en-
tity desiring t. exercise the right Of
self-determination and to join Ger
many in self protection"
