GA daily menu for the stout and tllin)
 EAT AND LOSE WEIGHT
BY SISTER MARY

One-half cup cooked wheat cereal, tablespoons corHed beef hash on toast, E cup canned tomatoes. cup diet bean soup, 1 cup canned string beans with 1 slice bacon, 4 spring onions, 1 cup shredded cabbage, ta- blespoons boiled custard with 1 table, spoon beaten egg, white (foating is- land,) 1 bran roll, ? tablespoons can- ned strawberries, 1 piece whole wheat bread, pint skinned milk.
 Total calories, l193. Protein, 247; fat, PTS; carbohydrate, 66S. Iron, .0178 gram.
 While this menu sounds rather beany yo uwon't find it so when you come to eat it. The navy beans used for the soup are rich in protein and carbohydrate. The string beans are valuable for their mineral salts and bulk. And as for repeating fiavors. which is never done in the best menus, navy bean soup and canned string beans haven't taste in common.
 This menu is a followAup of the preceding menu planned for the per son independent of the city markets. Any of the tender edible weeds can be substituted for the shredded cab bage. Some sort of uncooked green, like lettuce and cabbage, should be used every day. Some vitamins are lost by drying and canning. so try to include something fresh in your diet.
 EAT AND GAIN WEIGHT One cup cooked wheat cereal, 8 large stewed figs. 2 tablespoons hash ed brown potatoes. l poached egg. 4 tablespoons corned beef hash on toast, # cup canned tomatoes, l cup bean soup, ounces ham, table spoons mashed patatoes. cup canned string beans with 4 tablespoons cream, spring onions 1 cup shred ded cabbage with tablespoons cream dressing, 4 tablespoons floating island, 2 2-inch squares corn n'bread split and toasted, 4 tablespoons maple sirup, l bran roll, ? tablespoons canned straw berries, 1-6 caramel custard pie, .2 pieces whole. wheat bread, { table spoons butter, pint whole milk, F cup cream, ? teaspoons sugar. Total calories, 4273. Protein, 495; fat, 17s1; carbohydrate, 1897. Iron, .0lSs gram.
 Try drinking a cup of hot mSk or hot egg-nog at night, just before bedtime. This will nat only rest tired nerves and help you sleep but will do much toward making you fat.
 Cream is more easily digested and quickly assimilated than butter, so the woman on a farm will do well to use cream for seasoning her vegetables, not only for herself but the whole family. When cream is used for sea- soning more salt is necessary as butter contributes some salt.

England Blamed for the L,i0uOr Trade to America

Belfast, May s-Ulster's acting pre- mier, Hugh McDowell Pollock, speak, ing here recently advised his hearers when they heard adverse reports re- garding American prohibition not to believe them.
 Although the law was, MT. Pollock added, thanks to Great Britain, netor- iously broken along the Atlantic coast little was being said of the hinterland, of that vast country where a great reformation had taken place and great revolution, not only for that country but for the whole world, had occurred. He thought Britain had every reason to be ashamed Of that illicit trade which was encouraging American law breaking. It was stain on her fair name and, he con- cluded, she would suffer for it.

 For a long minute the two sisters stood closely embraced, obliNlous or everyone save themselves. Leila was sobbing neryously between little eJac- ulations of "Edie . Edie I've want ed you so :" and the older girl, while soothing her defuy. was scrutinizing her closely
 "What have they done to you Kitten?" she demanded after min- ute, putting her hand beneath her sisters delicate face and turning Il upward to her own.
 Tn her voice and eyes was the fierce, protective, maternal love which knew always had been hers for this idolized younger sister And as f1,eila,s eyes fell befores hers and her voice murmured, brokenly, "Noth- ing, Edie.

 For at least six months the moth CTS breast is a baby's best meal.
 No attempt should be made to wean 1t until at least the seventh or eighth month. If this happens to fall in the summer season it should not then be attempted. A mother is still capable of supplying the baby's wants.

4s hours and report the difference to the physician.
 When wcaning is begun at about the eighth month, pasteurized or boiled milk is generally substituted and one feeding day of beef broth starts the menu. After that there may be- soup or finely chopped or mashed vegetables, such as carrots or spinach.
 Toward the end Of the first year, the baby should be getting about & quart of milk a day, together with porion of vegetable soup and fruit juices; crusts of bread can be given to chew upon but there should be no meat or eggs until the second year.
