As to reduction of weight in the obese, if done intelligently, and not too hastily, 1t is attended with no dangers; but the unreasonable or ri- gid, sudden and total restrictions of certain accustomed fOodEtuffs may lead to derangemeuts of the system. Unless the one desirous of reducing superfluOus weight understands just what to do and what to refrain from doing in the way of exercise, bathing, food, he better consult anC be under the care of an expert in this import ant matter
 One thing above all should be kept in mind by the one desirous of reduc- ing weight, and that is, to have it done in a natural and harmless way. Do not require results at the expense of vitality or health. And remember this : patience Is a jewel It must take time, if your results are to be permanent and wholesome. Do not expect ten or fifteen years of care Iessness, debauchery or malformation to be corrected in ten or fifteen min utes, and do not expect to find re- suits in a patent medicine. any more than you will find health in a cap sule. Normal weight must come from an intelligent conception of the sub feet plus compliance.

WOMEN GAN HELP TO WARD OFF
 DISEASE

The postwar era has just brought to light the greatest waste of an- the needless staying of thousands of workers each year and the consequent money loss of a half billion dollars.
 The White Plague claims 10000 lives yearly. Over 100000 men. women and children in the United States today are its victims
 Eight out of every ten adults are at some time in their lives infected with the germs, but a thoroughly healthy person is able to resist their ravages unless his resistance becomes lower ed when the disease is likely to de- velop.
 Medical science has proved that tuberculosis, or consumption, as ir used to be called, is both preventable and curable," says Dr. Charles J. Hatfield, managing director of the National Tuberculosis Association. New York, which is sponsor for the annual sale of Red Cross Christmas seals. which will be held December 1 to 10. This organization, the lead ing agency in the United States for combating the white plague, is fi- nanced chiefly by funds from the Christmas seal sale.
 The prevention of tuberculosis rests largely upon the individual" continued Dr. Hatfield. ''It is in this respect that the women of the coun- try can help immediately by insisting upon proper housekeeping conditions. The housewife can do much to ward off the disease.
 '"The cure for tuberculosis lies in natures own gifts of sunlight, fresh air, good food and plenty of rest in cheerful surroundings under compe- tent medical supervision"

6. L. WARREN
 RESIGNS AS
 HEAD OF C. Q. 5,

Announcement of the resignation of George L. Warren as general secre- tary of the Charity Organization society was received with much re- gret by the officers of the society. His resignation will become effective November 1.
 During the three years of his secretaryship, he had succeeded in placing the organization on a higher plane and was unusually fitted to fill the many duties of the society due to his exceptional knowledge and ex- perience in welfare work Warren will do welfare work with the Warner Bros company which will be similar to that of the C. O. S.
 Miss Elizabeth Howe of Brooklyn will act as MT. Warren's secretary until his resignation becomes effec- tive and will probably aid in the di- rection of the work until a successor is appointed.

There's an old saying, Nobody loves & fat man" This saying would be more correct if 1t read, Nobody loves a fat man. or fat woman, less than they do themselves" The truth Is that overweight or obesity is in itself a disease, which is continued or uourished by gluttony or negli- genco.
 Upon unbiased thought and inves- tigation of the subject. one will soon beEin to realize that obesity or being "sblessed" with an excessive quuntity of fatty layers in the abdominal or other regions of the body. Is not only ugly to the cultivated senses of sight, but it Is an enemy to health and ef- flCiency; in fact overweight is a shortncss of life.
 It is well known fact that lean persons undergoing surgical opera tions, win be less apt to suCCumb to shock and other complications result ing from the operation or auesthetiC, than do fat people under the same circumstances. In fact, life insurance companies will not always insure those who arc abnormal in weight, and rtghtly so.
 There are. of course, exceptions to the rule. There have been and arc many fat people who have done great deal of mental work and lived to a good. ripe. old ago. At any rate, there is no sense in accommodating and taking care Of a lot of fat mater iaI. when less fat and more muscle based on proper exercise and proper living generally will ''carry us over the bridge'' with more safety.
 It is as necessary for one to carry around his person 50 or 75 pounds of grease. as it would be for small grocer to maintain a large Packard truck to deliver an order of groceries consisting of a dozen eggs, pound of es,ss. crackers and a can Of sardines. Why carry around this surplusaGe? Why lubriCate large quantities of un- necessary organic matter2 How many stop to realize that the fiat folSs' roast more in summer and freeze more in winter.

BUREAU OF MARKETS U. s. DE-
 APARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

City Market Reporting Service. Tel. Barnum 7O11. Fairfield County
 Court House.
 Bridgeport, Conn, Sept. 20, 1919. apples, beets, tomatoes, peppers, pears.
 Normal Oranges, onions, cab !,age, grapes, cantaIOupes, potatoes, string beans, lettuce, peaches, lima beans.
 Scarce-Lemons, spinach, cucum- bers, native peaches.
 Fruits in Variety.
 The wide variety of delicious table fruits which now fill the markets should enable the most discriminat-- ing to satisfy Their taste without diff ficulty. Those fond of melons will find that the famous Rocky Ford pink meat and green meat cantaloupes are un- excelled in flavor. Caraba and Honey Dew melons are also excellent eating at this time. An abundance of Cali fornia malaga and Tokay grapes are in the market and lighter supplies of Concord grapes from New York State gives the consumer an opportunity to select those best suited to their particular needs.
 Pears constitute one of the chief attractions in the line of fruits for the table. Not only are there pears from New York State and the West but Connecticut is also furnishing first grade products. Seekel and Bose pears are coming in and selling at wholesale as high as $L5o to S2.OO per IA at. basket. Apples and peaches should not be forgotten. The state of Washington is now supplying some of the best peaches for table use and the har- vesting of New England apples is now well under way.
 Apple Butter.
 All grades of apples are pouring into the market and poorer grades can very easily be converted into ap- pie butter and canned apples and in this manner prevent considerable loss of highly perishabIe food products. The following receipe is recommend ed by Miss Gladys B. Green, Food Hut, Bridgeport.
 1 quarts apples
 2 lemons
 ounces ginger root Sugar by weight
 Pare and chop apples. Make a sy- rup. using one pound of sugar to each pound of fruit Measure the amount of sugar and equal measure of water, and boil until syrup Is thick. To syrup add grated rinds and juice of lemons, ginger root, chopped fine and apples, and cook until consistency of jam. Seal air tight in jelly glasses or jars. Cover with melted paraff1n if jelly glasses are used. The following are wholesale prices. The consumer should expect to pay on the average from 20 to 40 per cent. above those prices to cover the retail [ ers' cost of doing business and his legitimate profit.

THE little girl doesn't really need

of the tug as he helped me aboard.
Il guess it's us men who need
you"
ITS a comfort to see her diving
suit on deck" l answered trying to be
gay, as we passed the garments lying
in a moist heap. Prom all the sign
language you men have been using
among yourselves, L was beginning TO
think you had left Miss Thomas in
the sea.
"She-she's below" said the cap
tain. II guess you'd better go down"
"R~esting2" l asked as we entered
the tiny cabin.
The little Queen of Smiles was
stretched on the only berth in the tug.
A blanket drawn over her face
l stood speechless, not daring to I'M
derstand for a moment, and after
ward even able to cry.
The captain drew back the blanket
softly. In the girls right had was
clutched a slender tube of dull metal.
The pearls" l. whispered to my
self. They carry a curse. It's true"
l touched the cold metal with a
finger tip, and the chill of IL spred
through my blood. / tried to take the
package, but the white fingers seemed
to stiffen and close upon 1t.
The thing for which Tiny had near
~ lost his life, and for which Mary
Thomas had died, looked a short
length of water pipe. 1t was cut long
enough to hold a string OF pearls, and
was closed at each end. Certainly It
was not large enough to hold the
other gems.
But I knew hat two parcels OF
jewels had been stored in the torpedo
case. Mary. it was plain. had grasp
ed only one of them. The other.

of chilled me ma'am. Then she reach

to encourage her, and then she says,
