FOODS TO MAKE YOU FAT.

We talk a great deal in this space about foods for reducing and foods for clearing the skin. Last week we were discussing foods for those who cannot or should not eat meat. but who needed an equivalent in nour- ishment Today I should like to sug- gest some foods to build flesh with out overtaxing the digestion.
 This problem of what to eat to grow fat is always great one. It is easy enough to eat in order to grow thin. The answer to that is mostly "dont. for you cannot gain Gesh on what you do not eat. But if you overeat to grow fat you overtax your digestion and do much more harm than good. But these foods are easily assimilated.
 Eat thick soups always instead Of thin, eat thin slices of bread thiokIy coated with butter. eat meat if you like it and digest 1t, giving preference to the fat rather than to the lean per- tions. Have your fish fried or served with a thick sauce. eat potatoes COW cred with butter or rich gravy, or mashed with cream. butter and sea- soning-
 Have your green vegetables served cold in a salad with thick nayonnaise, or done in the Italian style, which $ to fry them a little after they have been cooked in olive oil. seasoning and sometimes grated cheese.
 Have all fried foods cooked In olive oil or vegetable fat. These are as neurishing as lard and much more easily digested. Tn the matter of pud- dings. pies. cakes, ice creams or any such sweet your choice IS restricted only by your inclination. All these dishes are fattening. as the stout woman knows to her great sorrow. Cheese emelettes and cheese savories. by the way are easily digested and very fattening- Drink milk whenever yeu can.

WED 25 YEARS,
 GETS DIVORCE

Mrs. Augusta. Schneider of Nor walk, married to Emil Schneider for 25 years, was granted a divorce yes terday by Judge Christopher L. Avery of the Superior Court, on the grounds of intolerable cruelty. Her action was uncontested.
 The end of another war romance was accomplished yesterday when Hallie Twombly Bidwen, of Sound Beach, was granted a decree of di- vorce from her husband. Earl Stanley BidwelI. Mrs, Bidwell, now 20 years old, married her husband in 1916 while he was a soldier of the United States army. She claimed yesterday that he so abused her that she was forced to submit to an operation. In 1920 his actions of cruelty reached their zenith and she left him.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

Dear Followers:
 When sending for material which we offer you, please remember always to enclose a stamped envelope bear ing your full name and address. The pamphlet on reducing and gaining Is the only one for which you must en- close four cents in stamps extra. Ad- dress your letters to me in care OF this paper and please remember that, on account of the hundreds of letters received in every mail, I cannot give individual advice except throush the column and then only if it is Of gem eral interest. For the rest you must consult your personal physician.
 Dear Doctor: I am one of your F. F. Els. and have reduced from 16S Have taken in my dresses three inches in the waist and bust I am trying to get down to 135 feet but did not know whether I should reduce more than that or not. Am feet 1 F inches. and 55 years old. It useo to be said that one should weign more as one grows older I don't think am counting my calories right for at 1.20o I do not reduce and l have to get down to 300.
 ffMy embarrassing moment was 
 8. movie theatre and a little boy cried :: oh, look. Mother! There is old Fatty I turned ground and glared at him and found that he was looking at picture of Fatty A. I made up my mind then that if I felt so fat that when anyone said fatty I thought it meant me, it was certainly time for me to do something desperate.
 ''I put myself on strict diet and got rid of 30 pounds but fell from grace and got a lot back,-RMrs. J. H. ?
 It is true that the tables Of weight formerly allowed an increase of weight for an increase of years but these tables were taken from average weights of insurance applicants. When it was found by the insurance companies that the individuals over 40 who were underweight according g to the average were far healthier and lived longer than thoso who were the average, it was realized that they really were not underWeight but nor nal weight. So now we are not al lowing an increase of weight with the years. Tn fact, 1t should be the re- verse.
 Your ideal weight. according to our rule, should be about 120 pounds. Bu.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF
 SfEINERT CONCERTS

What is indisputably the greatest concert course ever offered in Con neeticut, if not in New England, has been announced by Rudolph Steineft of M. Steinert & Sons for the coming winter. In a series of four concerts, between Nov. 19 and Feb. 4, Sirge Rachmannoff, John Mccormack, Fritz Kreisler and Geraldine F'arrar. before the public will sing at Sunday afternoon concerts at Polls theatre in this city. Never before have so many stars of such magnitude ap- peared in concert course in this part of the country and no other city of the entire 27 in which the Steinert concerts are given will hear his en- tie group of artists.
 The Steinert concerts have been feature of every winter season for a number of years past. In this time the most eminent artists of the muss- cal world have appeared under their banner and not one concert has ever proved a disappointment. Their sue cess has been entirely due to Rudolph Steinert and to his unfailing faith in Bridgeport even when Bridgeport mas not supported his concerts in the way they have nerited.
 MT. Steinert brings these artists to Bridgeport without one penny of guarantee on the part of any person or organization, a thing in itself un- usual as it means a. tremendous DeF- Sonal risk on h1S own part In adol- tion, the rates for the course have been reduced so that it is now posst- h1e to purchase a ticket for all four artists for much less than one could buy railroad fare to New York and one seat to h aAr any one or them.
 Because of the exceptionally low price which he has set for the course MT. Steinert cannot afford to sell in dividual for each concert and all who wish to hear these four great artists should purchase their course tickets imm ediately at M. SteineFt & Sons 915 Main street

In the heat of the series between the New York Yankees and St. Louis Browns that determined the American League championship in St. Louis, Whitey Witt, of the Yankees, was knocked out by pop bottle, most fans thinking it was thrown by St. Louis rooter. James P. Hon saw the incident and reported that Witt, rum ming at full speed, stepped on the neck of a bottle that was lying in the out field and that it flew up and hit him in the head. Ban Johnson, President of the American League, gave Hon s10o and tickets 50 the world series in New York for his explanation of the incident.
