 Mrs F. B. E.: Here are some of my recipes which other women might like: Sure Dumplings: quart flour, teaspoons baking powder. F teaspoon salt, enough milk or water to stir to a stiff dough. Drop large
 spoonfuls of this mixture in luke
 warm water and leave uncovered while boiling. Turn carefully with a spoon after cooking IS minutes and then cook 10 minutes longer

CHAT ON CALoRIEs
By EDNA AENT FORBES.

ANOTHER CHAT ON CALORIES IT you have determined, according to the Chat on food values last week. that you require certain number of calorles Of food day, the next step IS to find out the caloric value of the foods you are eating. We will take TOT Instance, the of a grown woman Tfa sle leading an ordinary active food daily to keep her fit. If she weighs more than she should, she has been eating more than this amount and to reduce she must eat less She must eat, instead of Z500, about 15UU to reduce at the rate of two pounds week, which is the safest rate. Without knowing anything about calories you will see from this that to reduce you must eat only three-nfths the amount Of food you have been | accustomed to. But if you wish to be | accurate about your diet save this | table of caIor1c values. The caIoric value stated is for an average serving: MEATS-Lean Beef Steak, 1o5 calories; Tenderloin, 2S5; Roast Beet Mutton Chops, 15o-so0; Pork Chops, each, 200-300; Boiled Ham, 25U; Fried Ham. 400; Slice of Bacon, 25. FISH-Lean Fish, 135 calories; Fat Fish, 265; Oysters, each s.
 VEGETABLES - Asparagus, one stalk, calories; Celery, six stalks, 15; onions, each, 50 White Potatoes, l each 100; Sweet Potatoes. 200; Beets,
 
 Baked Beans, 150; String Beans, 15 Cabbage. 10; Carrots, 20; Cauliflower, | 20; Canned Corn, 100; Green Corn, one one ear 100; Green Peas, 100; Spin l Worried.-The best way to reduce is through the natural processes such as dieting and exercise. You may | weigh almost anything you wish bv regulating the diet, which is sure to be the healthiest method, even though It Is not the quick way of taking off flesh. If you need information about | this, send a stamped addressed envel- | ope and I will be pleased, to mail you full directions on food values. You should be sure to read the weekly Chats on reducing in this column | Dfscouraged.-A clear skin, which 1 is also fine in texture means a clean | digestive tract and that all the organs of el1minatton must be working free | ly. This includes the skin, which has | an 1mporta nit functon in this process. | The warm bath daily-or every other day when the cold bath is used daily does much toward a fine texture to | the complexion, as the pores over the whole body are kept more active and l thus relieve those the more eX- posed part of the body.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS,
 ChilIS

I am a young woman and have had five children already; when my babies are about three days old I have chills which, no matter what I do, cannot fight off. and these chills will come on any time. And I will sometimes take chills after the baby is about month or two old. Now I am not strong so my babies are not strong. My third baby died when he was six months old ana dthe fourth at 8 months and died of bronchitis which the doctor said he inherited another darling baby and it was as fat as butter when it was born but now 1t has that awful cough like the others and is getting thinner all the time. cannot bear the thought of losing him too, and I want yoI to please help me by your kind advice how to care for him properly and how to improve my own health as I nurse my baby and don't have to do suffer for it. I suffer with bronchitis almost every time I catch a cold. Would you please advise me about this disease? I also have rheuma- tism.
 Answer Oftentimes, right after the baby is born. the mother has a temp chill which we call a ner- vous chill. But chills so frequent and found consideration. Your doctor must give you a most thorough ex- animation, including your lungs and your blood. It is a sad thing indeed to lose a darling baby.

 Another meeting of the council will be held Monday evening. is probable that Townroe'S resignation as Mill- tary Enrolment officer will be accept ed. He believed the work worth $1,- 900. The council offered $25O. It was believed in some quarters that com promise amount probably $500, would be reached enough to make the work attractive to Townroe, but now It seems evident that the limit will not be a great deal more than $270. This would average only $50 to a district, and with time trouble, extra help in some instances in the way Of inter preters, it is hardly considered to be worth while, especially as delay has shortened the time in which the work must be done. As one councilman apt ly put 1t yesterday, Well, if only $27O can be spared, the State, which makes the census compulsory, will get a s27O job.'' This councilman was in favor of an increase to about S6OO but didn't believe a week ago that there was much chance of the council al- lowing this much.
 This same councilman made the remark that the first thing it knows the council will be Swamped with old and new expenses and the tax rate Will be even more than 25, mills instead of lower, as everyone had been leo to De- lieve it would be.
