to keep down my weight. which has
increased from 10 to 143 pounds in
the last five and one-half months. |

injure my baby, but I do want to
get back to the 110 average when
this trial is over.

Breakfast: Corn flakes with milk.
all cream removed; two slices whole
wheat toast, butter and jam, cup
Of coffee with cream and small
amount Of sugar; peach, apple, pear
or melon.
Lunch: Corn flakes, again; let
tuce and tomato sandwich, whole
wheat bread, fruit and glass Of milk
with cream removed.
Dinner: Small amount Of meat,

tables; one potato; vegetable salad;

Answer: Your diet is ideal and I
am printing it in full for that very
reason, hoping some other person in
your condition will read it and follow
it. 1t has everything needed in the
way of food elements, and as long
as you are using butter on toast and
sandwich and as d dressing for the
vegetables, the loss of 1t in the milk
you drink will not hurt, and it does
make it less fattening.

Of extra fat and continue as you are
doing. You cannot expect to stay
at the same low weight after birth,
as most mothers take on some little
weight naturally; but YOU can ex-
pect to lose 10 to Is pounds at birth
and as high as 10 pounds during the
lying-in period. The larger the
woman the more she is inclined to
lose, though there is no definite fig
ures for her loss. this depending

CHAPTER XXVII.
A Change in Betty.

Betty made no reply to Amos i'm
rulsive words. She felt that there was
nothing she could say and thought it
wiser to ignore the meaning in them.
1t was impossible, however to dismiss
him as soon as the dance was over,
and so they sat together in one of the
smaller rooms and she talked with a
rather forced vivacity, perhaps be-
cause he himself was SO very grave.
She told him of what she had been
doing and of the gayety of her life.
II feel sometimes like little grub
that has emerged into a butterfly"
she said with a laugh Life was so
gray before. and now it is all shot
through with rose color"
You're very happy"
''Oh. yes, yes!'
When are you planning TO be mar
ried?"
The smile on Betty's radiant face
dimmed a little. We haven't set a
date. So much depends on Mr.. Cor
ncllS business
Amos was silent. He was wonder
ing how any man who had won her
love could wait to have her. Gossip
was rife in the hospital that Jimmy
Cornell had plenty of money and the
costliness of Betty's ring testified to
that Then why was he waiting?
They had been engaged now for over
nine months and still there were no
definite plans
Through the doorway Amos sud
denly spied DR.. Hunt on his way to
claim Betty, and leaning toward her,
ne spoke quickly.
'.NN;n ,-o11 lot mo fal.a ynIl home

The question was so sudden that
Betty could not think of an excuse.
Resides, there was something about
him at that moment that was almost
pathetic, something almost tragically
boyiSh The expression on his face
went to her heart
Why. yes" she said quickly, land
thank you. I'll let YOU know when
m ready to 90. shall I?''
Amos watched her as she went into
the ballroom with DR.. Hunt. She
seemed so different tonight from the
pale little nurse who had first won
his heart. There was about her now
an assurance that was almost brittle.
Earlier In the evening when he had
danced with Miss Anderson. she had
cattily dubbed Betty ''the million
dollar Wife and Amos had asked her
what she meant.
"Oh. nothing" the girl had retorted.

Kitchen Missionaries" :"

Good health is dependent upon
food. If the body is properly fed
health is maintained. If the body Is
improperly fed acids, gases and waste
poisons gather.
Now though one of the rules for
good diet is to eat something raw
every day-which is easily taken care
of in salads and fruits-most of our
food is cooked.
Cooking is supposed to render food
more digestible and more appetizing'
But. as one dietition remarked, Raw
cabbage is digested and passes
through the ordinary stomach In two
and a half or three hours. After
cabbage has passed through the hands
of the ordinary cook it's digestion
takes nearly five hours" Cabbage
should not be boiled and boiled until
it is a tough indigestible product.
Raw meat is "digestible,' but the
taste and appearance call for proper
cooking to make it appetizing.
Experiments were made by Dr:
Beaumont on a man by the name OF
st. Martin. who had an opening in
his lett size through MHI'h IL "e''
possible to watch the digestive pro-
cesses. DIR. Beaumont found that
rare. roasted fresh lean beef required
three hours for gastric digestion.
Beef boiled with only salt required
three hours of gastric digestion. Beef
fried took four hours. Old hard salt
ed beef took four hours and fifteen
minutes.
Later experiments showed that
proper cooking has much to do with
the digestibility of food. 1t is impor-
tant that cooked food should be prop
erly cooked. But the digestibility of

| Miss Anderson had shaken her head.
she certainly wasn't. 1 never knew
any one to be so mad about man and
that was before she knew anything
about him. But l think it means
something to her now; he's changed
her."
AS Amos watched Betty waltzing
with DR.. Hunt, this conversation re-
turned to him and he wondered If
| there were any truth in it. Not that
it mattered if the man made her
happy, but would be? He seemed in
| no hurry to marry her, that was GER
tain.
An hour or SO fater, Betty came up
to him. She was wrapped in her
Spanish showl and she looked as fresh
as she had at the beginning of the
affair, but there was about her a
Haunting little air as though she
| wanted to impress her importance
upon the other girls present who were
less fortunate. Perhaps he was wrong,
perhaps he was allowing Miss Ander-
sons words to influence him.
"Sure I'm not carrying you off too
early" Betty said brightly as they
went down in the elevator. But I've
been up so many nights lately, and
Jimmy will be home tomorrow"

What Tomorrow Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are
favorable, although their influence
will be felt more on the emotions
than on activities. The influences
will contribute more to happiness
and contentment of spirit, than to
material success. There will be sensed
a feeling of equanimity, which Will
tend to deprive even routine work of
1t monotonous character. 1t IS an
exceptionally auspicious occasion Tor
marriage, and any wedding celebrated
under such conditions will stand the
acid test The omenS indicate that
those who enter into life partner
ship tomorrow will divide on 50-50
basis the spiritual blessings ana
advantages of such a union.
Children born tomorrow will, during
infancy, be practically immune to Ill
ness. as they will possess exceptionally
strong constitutions. This Will serve
them in good stead throughout their
lives. and they are destined, accord
ing to the signs, at all times to possess
that most valuable of all gifts-so
little esteemed when one has 1t, and
SO keenlv desired when one hasn't it

always unselfish and quick to respond
to the moods of others. Their IN
tellects will not be brilliant, and their
success will not be spectacular. They
will, however, always be contented,
and radiate happiness, wherever they
may be.
If tomorrow Is your birthday, the
keynote of your character is sincerity
and loyalty. You resent hypocrisy or
.make-believe" in all it's forms, and
are, at all times, perfectly natural.
You are loyal, not only to your
friends, but to yourself and your CON
victions. 1t is obvious, therefore, that
you should possess a large measure
Of self-confidence-with which very
little, If anything, will be attempted
or can be achieved. You apply your

ar dalways strive to excel IN every
thing that YOU do. You are rather
reticent about your own affairs, and
very rarely conlide in others. On the
other hand. YOU are the recipient of
many condolences, as your friends
appreciate your good qualities, and
value your Judgment. In your private
life, YOU are kind and considerate, but
although capable of strong feelings,
are not demonstrative, and your tenn
perament is placid, rather than out
wardly emotional. You are dearly
loved by your kith and kin.
Well known persons born on that
date are: Sylvester Marsh, civil en-
gineer; Jacob Estey, organ manufac-
turer; Ellis III. Roberts, journalist and

EAT AND BE HEALTH Y
Dinah Days Daily Talks on Diet
The Right Food Is the Best Medicine

food is not the only aim in choosing
food. Food need not be so "digesti-
ble' that every particle is assimilated.
The residue which is not digested is
also necessary. For instance, five and
a quarter ounces of white bread un-
dergo gastric digestion in three hours.
The same amount of brown bread re-
quires four hours. Yet here the real
food value of the brown bread IS
greater because of the mineral salts
and the residue it contains.
The aim Of proper cooking is to
render the food palatable and nour-
ishing. It's up to the cook to be sure
that the valuable mineral salts nature
stored in the vegetables remain in the
vegetables for the benefit of the
family.
One cook takes what was once a
choice cut of steak and presents it to
the family tasting like a piece OF shoe
leather. Another cook takes a piece
of chuck and by carefully cooking it
en- casserole or simmering it in n well
seasoned stew presents to her family
an appetizing dish. One cook subjects
vegetables to such treatment they are
tasteless. Another cook, with exactly

Ferns and Bulbs.

If YOU use the water from the refrig-
orator on ferns it will bring them out
wonderfully. The ammonia in the, ice
produces the results. Do not apply
ice cold Let the water stand for a
few hours until the chill wears off.
After trying many things to nourish
a sickly fern with no success, one wo-
man used the water strained from tea
leaves, using few tea leaves. The
fern will put out new sprigs and will
be a luxuriant green. The water in
which chicken or any fresh meat is
washed is one of the best and easiest
fertilizers that can be applied to a
fern or other potted plant. If you
want bulbs to bloom quickly, give
them warm water every morning and
plenty of bright sunshine. Place them
where they will not become chilled,
but will keep moderately warm.
