 Certain foods make you beautiful. They keep you at normal weiH>t. They rejuvenate you and keep you youthful They give you that spiritual. almost angelic glow which only the truly beautiful woman possesses.
 All this information is gleaned from new cook book by Ida c. Bailey Allen, which is just published by Doubleday, Page & Go.
 And no sooner had we -gleanedp this fact from the beauty diet pub lished therein, than we hustled up to calls her office at No. 1S10 Broad way. Personally we should call it an department" for right in one Of the busiest office sections in town sits the charming Mrs. Allen in suite of rooms furnished with aspiano, divan, cozy chairs, very feminine curtains and potted plants. A black and white cat and an empty gold fish bowl complete this domestic picture. (Mrs. Allen explained that the cat and the goldfish became entirely, too, confiden- tial.
 After we had basked in s1e delight, fitness of real woman's office and expressed our appreciation of the old fashioned knocker on the door which welcomes you in gold letters with, Happiness House." we began an animated conversation concerning the type of food which not only keeps you beautiful but makes you beautiful if nature did not begin that way
 There isn't any doubt about it, cer- tain foods make one beautiful,' said Mrs. Allen reassuringly. "The Greeks ate lettuce. Two generations ago the beauty ate carrots raw and even then they were on the right road. Beauty of course means health and in order, to be beautiful one must have a balanced ration. A balanced ration should make a woman who is too plump normal and the woman who is too thin able to add the necessary pounds.
 The cells of the body sare constantly being renewed, the dead cells either &C., cumulating as waste-in the body or be- ing normally thrown off The two un- derlying principles in eating for beau ty are to carry off this and all other body waste through the normal chan nels and to furnish the body the right food to make new cells and support life"
 Before enlarging too much upon the balanced ration which is to produce beauty, Mrs. Allen insists that every woman must drink two quarts of wa ter each day, take "a reasonable amount of exercise in the open air and sleep at least eight hours each night. E- <.
 The prescribed beauty diet is:
 On arising: Juice of half lemon in R glass of hot water, followed at once by glass of cold water. (The combina- tion of hot and cold water assists in the elimination process.)

 Mrs. Allen adds word of warning. to this 1eauty diet.
 "In working out my diet" she said, "avoid any excess fat. Do not eat more than one sweet at a nleal eff using sugar in coffee or tea, this is all that should be taken), put in as many yitamine foods as possible and introduce plenty of bulk. Use only whole grain breads and prepare every food so that the food constituents are saved" ngT it Results count, and you can count on
