In the first place, suggest that
you keep your normal weight in mind
as your goal, and work toward this
gradually rather than to try to re-
duce too rapidly. You may know that
your normal weight Is approximately
lit pounds.
The first thing / advise is to SEQ
that your diet is made up of plain
food, with only a moderate amount of
seasoning and a very small proper
tion of sweet. Omit tea and coffee
entirely and plan your diet SO that
you have well-balanced ration of a
small portions. This is % far better eps for or
you than to try to keep to an old
fashioned diet list. The modern way
OF reducing flesh is to do just this
to keep the digestion In good order by
a mixed diet.
See that you have plenty OF fresh
fruit, varied with stewed raisins or
figs and orange or date marmalade.
Eat meat only once q day and not

Take care of the bowels. Keep
them open absolutely every day. This
will help to keep your entire diges-
tion in good order and will go toward
restoring normal conditions.

WHAT TODAY MEANS
TO YOU.
Pisces.
BY MARY BLAKE.

Until evening the aspects are very
adverse and great cautioh should be
used in all matters. particularly those
pertaining to money. The evening is
excellent for social functions and all
forms of amusements.
A child born today will be impul-
sive in its early youth, but in matur-
ity powerful and successful in all
walks of life.
If today is your birthday, you are
overcritical and constantly analyZe
all your own emotions as we'll as
those with which you come in con-
tact. Even in affairs of the heart
you are always conscious of your
every emotion, and for that reason
you always want the other person to
make the advances so that you may
act the critic.
Your mind Is one that plans eagerly
and rapidly, but unless you discipline
yourself severely you will never
bring any of your projects into sue
cessful operation, and while you are
bemoaning your luck. others will be
making your dreanN their realities.

Blighted Trees Now Used.

Posts, poles and ties cut from
blighted. chestnut trees are just as
serviceable as those cut from healthy
trees, according to the United States
forest service. This is looked upon
as an important announcement, be-
cause 1t will aid in the conservation
OF timber, and many experiments and
tests have been made to prove the
assertion. The only provision is that
the pieces must be cut from trees
within reasonable time after the
blight has started.
