speech. Jago. false. subtle and dia.

dramatic passage in the whole play as

Weight Maintenance.

Betwixt and between-just right for
health and good looks. AS one doctor
SO aptly says. Each woman has her
ideal weight, her ideal figure and her
ideal diet. closely interrelated.
III a person is the correct weight
and supplies the body with its exact
requirements in the food line there
will be no increase in weight Those
who are carrying the right amount of
padding over their bones should cat
To keep that amount.
As a general thing ~ Is the one who
has reduced who must follow the diet
for maintsinin weight. Watch your
weight. Weigh once q. week. If you
haven't bathroom sale patronize
the penny scale Wear about the same
amount 6f clothes each time. Don't
weigh one week with your Winter
overcoat and the next wearing your
Spring one and think you have lost
5 pounds.
The skinny sister who has reached
a certain weight and wishes to stay
there very seldom has to watch the
scales and the fat-makinG foods as
closely as the once-Stout madam who
wishes to stay slim. 1t is harder to
put on weight than take it off. Like
the frog in the arithmetic lesson who
hoped up 2 feet and fell back 3
always a little short Of getting to the
top Of the well-the too-slim lady who
Is striving for her ideal figure has to
eat 8 lbs. to put on 2, as it were. OF
course, I'm joking about pounds of
food putting on 9 pounds of flesh. 1t
depends on the kind Of food eaten
whether IL turns into flesh.
Babe Ruth. the Yankee homa-run
king. keeps two belts hanging side
by side inside his locker at the hall
park. One belt is merely as long as a
horses hand. Ruth wore this when
he was "nff his diet" The other belt -
q. much shorter one-fts him now.
He keeps this object lesson before him
To keep him on the straight reducing
diet road.
You'd think that II some men and
women could get a. full-length look at
themselves In a good mirror they'd do
anything to reduce-and then stick
close to foods that would keep them

Iodin in Canned Salmon.

! have repeatedly asserted that any
mud all kinds of fresh shellfish or
other sea fish will furnish an ample
todin ration if we have some such
food regularly two or three times a
week. That is true and no one has
undertaken to punish me for it. But
I have also pointed out the fact that
fish from fresh water contains little
or no iodin and will not serve the
purpose of sea food in preventing
eoiter and other evils due to lodln

FoSy Jaw.

The strangest Of all occupat tiOnal
disea ses IL that known as fossy jaw
IT is contracted ny those working with
phosphorus especially phosphorus
matches. People i,, close contact with
phosphorus presently notice a decay
ing Of the bone structure. 1t Is not
known how phosphorus gets at the
bones in the body, hut somehow it
does, and 1t especially attacks the
lower jaw, causing 1t to decay and
sink in. Legislation had to be passed
putting a stop to the manufacture OF
pure phosphorus matches. Matches
manufactured in compliance with the
law have only a minute tip OF phos-
phorus, which will ignite very easily.
and SO set fire to tbs sulphur. which
