EARTERET, Jan. 29.-Quo war
rsnto proceedings have been insti-
tdted in the supreme court to test he
title TO office of overseer Of the poor
ef this borough, which is now held
hy1Carrie Drake. The proceedings
bave been brought by Emil Wilhelm,
the ousted overseer of the poor,
through his attorney, Francis A.
Monahan.
The appointment of the present
office holder and the ousting of Will
JlHlm, revolves about the amendment
10 the Borough act of 1922, which
was passed shortly after Wilhelm
had been appointed to office and it
is this point of law that must be de-
cided by the court before the over
seer appointment in this borough is
settled, according to Mr.. Monaghan
today.
Wilhelm was appointed to the
office on January /, 1922, under the
poor law for q term of i've years. He
held office until January L of this
wear when Mrs. Drake was appoint
cd. In naming Mrs. Drake it is be-
heyed by Mr.. Wilhelm that the ap-
pointment was made under the
amendment to the borough act
which prescribed the term of Office
OF overseer of the poor as one year.
sThe amendment to the act under
which he was appointed took place
after he had been named to office
for the five-year term.

HOW TO EAT WELL AND
TOLIVE WELL
WHY THREE MEALS A DAY.

Animals at liberty eat almost all
the time--birds in captivity give us
an an example of a formidable di-
gestive capacity-they never stop eat
ing-civilized man lives in quite
another way. All the acts of his life
have become rhythmic, his work is
regular, his leisure hours are counted.
Civilization has obliged him no more
to eat all day long; it has forced
him to group his feeding at regular
hours; it has created the repast, the
meal.
In western lands. repasts are gem
orally three per day. Considering
the working day to be sixteen hours,
the time between meals is five hours
Allowing an hour and a half for each
meal, four hours remain between the
end of one meal and the beginning
of the next. Foods remain from two
to two and half hours in the stom-
ach. So an hour and a half Is al
lowable for the work of absorption
and assimilation. That is the physio-
logical time.
The necessities of life modify these
habits. The most important factor
in these notifications is muscular
work. The peasant when reaping ex-
ponds in his hard work a far greater
quantity of energy than is used by
the city man. He burns up his re-
serves and he must replace them; so
meals are more numerous among
country folk; they are repeated al
most every two hours.
The Frenchman, who knows so ad-
mirably how to make the most of his
time, cuts the working day by stop
of two hours. during which he takes
the most substantial repast of the
day his luncheon.
The Engiishman, on the contrary,
well fed in the morning, scarcely in
terrupts his work during the day. Be-
tween noon and l o'clock he takes a
very light lunch.

drew handkerchief out of her bag
and an empowering perfume filled

of the men and made them look nau-

That over-dressed, over-scented

The moral. dear women, is this:
The merest suggestion of an excel

sweet-gives an effect of freshness
and daintness to the well-groomed
woman; but too much of it. no mat
ter how good it is, is little better
than the smallest drop of cheap,
strong. penetrating scent-which is
utterly objectionable, no matter who
uses it. Even II Oou don't mind it
