A Chat About Reduction.

Tam very glad to see from my cor
respondence. that as many women are
interested in reducing today as two or
three years ago. when we first began
to discuss scientific methods of redue-
ing. In fact, I am inclined to think
that even more women are interested.
I know that the calorie method is
the most difficult one to begin with.
At first 1t seems SO frightfully COM
plicated to find out the caloric value
Of foods and to sit down and figure
out for yourself the actual arithmeti-
cal value of every least little thing
that you eat. And yet the method is
sure because 1t has been scientifically
worked out by experts. Besides 1t has
been proved again and again by the
number Of women who have taken the
trouble to find out about calories, and
who have reduced as q consequence.
I have simplified the whole subject
as much as I possibly can, and when
I talk about 1t do it in as untechni-

Foods must be especially delicious

Then you must find out what you

Then you must find out exactly how

/ Lastly you must find out exactly

To simplify things as much as pos

charts which will solve the last three
problems. One is table of weights
from which you can find what you

HOME ECONOMICS.
BY MRS. ELIZABETH KENT.
The Human Machine.

The body is a singular machine
which must work to live. Even. when
man lies idle or asleep. his heart
is working estimated at as much
work or energy expended, during a
day as would lift man $500 feet into
the air; his lungs are working, his
digestive tract is busy. and every
least movement. winking an eye, or
nodding his head, Is work in the
scientific sense. When. besides just
keeping alive, he does real work az
well, the expenditure of energy is
multiplied many times. Where does
the body get the energy 1t expends in
living and working?
Like all other energy on earth,
mans energy comes ultimately from
the sun, but not directly. It must

The Old Gardener Says:

When the larkspurs have fin-
ished Towering cut them down
to the ground. This will help
to give you a succession of
bloom, although the later flow
ers will be smaller than those
which came earlier. Larkspurs
are among the most useful. of
all garden perennials, and it Is
worth while keeping them in
flower as long as possible.
Many other perennials can be
treated in this way. but not fox

buds. Cut down the stalks and
replace them with asters.
