simon Douis Katzoff, A. NJ, NJ D., Author of Timely Truths on
 Human Health"

As to diet, remember, first of all that we should eat to live and not live to eat. In other words, we should eat for efficiency, health and Iongs- vity, and not merely to tickle the palate If you arc not hungry, miss a meal, for it is a digestive crime to eat when not hungry. Further more, nothing is more trnporta mt than chewing the food thoroughly and slowly We Americans are already too well known as a nation of food gmpers We resemble the Dixie Flier" when eating No wonder the undertaken trust smiles when we belt our meals at such a speed
 As to drinking water, 1t should be drunk between meals and seldom, if ever during meals Slipping small quantities, however to quench thirst will not interfere All soups should be eaten before solid foods. One or two cups of water every morning, prefer- ably hot, and with lemon makes an excellent fiat reducer"
 As to food as an aid to reduce un- necessary weight all fat-making foods such as fats, starches, and su- gar should be reduced very material ly- If one is fond of wheat bread, let it be cut in thin slices and toast ed Almost all garden greens are all lUwa,bIe. Fruits, such as apples peaches, oranges, and grapes are wholesome and harmless while ban anas- figs, dates and nuts better be eliminated or very much restricted If meats are consumed al all, # should be sparingly and with no fats
 Foods Allowed

Household Hints

When woolen blankets are worn too thin for real service we put two of them together, cover both sides with cheese cloth-Or any other ma tsFiaf-and tie them as one does wadded comfortables. We lay the lining, blankets, and cover evenly on the dining table, pin the corners and edges together, then tack them se- euFeiy and bind.
 In this way they make delightful bed covers as they are light, warm, and will last as long as when new.
 If, because of close wrappings, mould has already started it can be seraped off and the under surface washed with vinegar,
 When mashing potatoes, after the milk and butter are added and they have had their final stirring, add a small teaspoonfui of baking powder and stir well and see how light they will be.
 In making mayonnaise beat yolk of egg and oil together, This saves time and thiokens quickly, Season after wards.
 When cleaning old brass, wet it with strong ammonia and then thor oughly scrub with a brush. After five minutes the brass will become as bright as new metal, Then rinse in clear water and wipe dry

In the cruel sunlight we walked | across a long court lined with the l Black Guard, passed under gate way, and were met by & shabbily | dressed negress. Traversing hot dag gle of poIychrone tiles, was reached another archway guarded by the Chief Eunuch, a towering black with the enameIled eyes & a baSa1t bust,
 The Eunuch delivered us to other increases, and we enter labyrinth of inner passages and paties, all mur-

 in dim grayish garments 1iattehed
 themselves against the walls, we
 caught glinpses of great dark rooms,

 gresses. abandoning their pots and

 threshold. In one corner, on a beHeh
 against a wall hung with mattings,
 gray parrots in tall cages were being

 A narrow staircase mounted to landing where a princess out OF an Arab fairy-tale awaited us. Stepping softly on her embroidered slippers, she led us to the next landing, where another gOlden-S1ipPered DelnB SdIill- ed out on us, a little girl this one, biushing and dimpling under a jew elled diadezn and peari-woven braids.

 It was a large square room, encios- ed on all sides by a balcony glazed with panes of brightly-colered glass. The room itself was commonplace. On a gaudy modern Rabat carpet stood gilt armchairs of florid design and a table bearing commercial bronze of the "art goods" variety. Divans with muslip-couered cushions were arranged against the walls and down an adjoining gallery-iike apartment otherwise furnished only with clocks. The passion for clocks | and other mechanical contrivances is common to all un-mechanical races, | and every chiefs palace in North Af- flea contains a collection of time | pieces which might be called striking if so many had not ceased to go: But those in the Sultan's harem of Rahat | were remarkable, for the fact that.l
