Trying to Reduce.

So many reducing systems start out
by saying count your calories.' They
say that's very simple. Just get a
good book which tells you haw many
calorieS there are in slice of bacon,
a cup of rice. an egg, a glass of milk.
a spoonful of sugar, and count your
calories.'"
They claim an average person who
leads a sedentary life should have
about 200 calories a day. Height,
weight and occupation will somewhat
change this figure. They also warn
you in reckoning made dishes such as
puddings. etc, to count the ingredients
and add up the calories.
So the first thing the victim would
have to do would be to corral the cook
and find out how many spoonfuls of
each thing went into the recipe. Then
she would have to get a nice large
sheet of paper and trot out the old
multiplication and addition tables-to
say nothing of calling on subtraction
and division too.
For a busy mother with housework
and the youngsters to look after that
would be quite a mornings job-first
checking the ingredients in the foods.
referring to the chart, counting the
calorieS and then keeping a record of
them. She might have to make two
or three menus before she got the
one with the right number of calories.
And that is very serious thing from
the standpoint of health. Supposing
that she did have the right amount
for the days allowance. she, under
that system may have worked out a
very one-sided diet, lacking in ele-
ments absolutely necessary to health.
On one chart which I bought there
are listed the following foods and their
calorie values. One is supposed to
pick out a. diet averaging 1900 calories
a day. Suppose you ran over the list
and your appetite made your mouth
water for the following menu:

You can readily see you are way
above the amount of calories these
"faddists" allow. Another menu.w would
have to be calculated. Worse than
that you have an unbalanced diet.
There is entirely too much starch in
it.
Why keep your appetite in check
and pour into your poor body fatten-
ing foods? The body does require GER
tain energy" foods to keep it steamed
up so it can perform it's work. There
fore in my suggestions there are
listed wholewheat bread, oatmeal in
moderation, butter az OF. day.,
baked potato occasionally, milk. You
may like ham but if you wish to take
off pounds you positively should not
eat it. The sensible thing is to cut out
the fat forming foods and eat in mod

Odtime Wedding Cake
Finds Stout Defender

Whatever the moderns may think Of
the news that the wedding cake is
abandoning its Gothic complexities Of
decoration, It is certain that one rath-
er famous cook would have been hor-
rifled at the change. Readers of ''Pen-
Dennis" will remember that when
M. Alcide Mirobolant wished to sig
nifty his undeclared passion for Blanche
Amory, he sent up to her a special
dinner, the dishes of which were de-
signed from beginning to end to sym
bolize her maidenly virtues and his
own admiration for them. He wound
up with ian ice of plombiere and
cherries in the form of
two hearts united with an arrow, on
which I had laid, before it entered, a
bridal veil in cut paper surmounted
by wreath Of virginia. orange flow
ers" If Monsieur Mirobolant could
do so much with a mere ice, to what
heights would his symbolism have
scared in the architecture of a we'd
ding cake? 1t is clear that he would
have had no sympathy with cake
which depended on classical sever

Value BumbIebees
at Weight in Gold

Bumblebees are worth much more
every day to the United States than
all our gold mines. Yes, they are worth
more than all gold and silver mines
together even If you multiply the
mines by two. You can rate the bum
blebees at about $30O,000,000.
Perhaps you did not know It, but
we owe our clover hay crop to the
bumblebee. And our clover is worth
more than $3OO,OO0,000 every year.
When Uncle Sam tried to introduce
red clover in the Philippines he made
big discovery. Red clover would not
reproduce itself in those islands.
1t took considerable time to find out
the reason for that failure was alb
sence of bumblebees. These buzzing
toilers are the chaps who fertilize red
cIover-distribute the pollen and so
complete the yearly cycle of maturity.
And no insect except the humble
bee with his abnormally long tongue
can do that little trick in red clover
field.
When Uncle Sam took cargo OF
bumblebees out to Manila the job OF
raising red clover hay in the Philip
pines was accomplished. = Philadel-

Ia a statue of Apollo, the god of music,
seated and holding the cithara--a
small harp-shaped instrument from
which the Tyre was derived as long ago
as 100 B. c., according to writer in
the Cleveland PIlin Dealer. In
Greece the cithara was used both to
accompany the voice in song and In
epic recitation and as a solo instru-
ment at the national games. The
Greeks of Asia Minor transformed the
cithara into the guitar, and later still

New Years Eve
By Susan Mari SpauIdins /.

A NIGEL Of the parting year,
n Winging back to heaven thy
flight,
Sad the burden thou must bear.
From the darkness into light;
Burden of my wasted days,
Fragments of my broken hours.
Budding promises that grew
Never into fruit or flowers.
Happiness might have won,
Worthy deeds I might have wrought,
Wrongs hate. but did not shun.
Good crave, but never sought;
All my proud and lofty aims,
Wfthered now to vain regret
Feeble, foolish, as the will
To no noble purpose set,
Take them all, my griefs. my joys.
Lay them at the Fathers feet;
He will search If yet there be
Mid the chaff some grain of wheat,
He will fan my faint resolves
To purer flame and clear.
Bear 10 heaven my hearts desire.

The Calm, Clear Mind

The more wheels there are in q
watch, the more trouble they are to
take care of. The movements Of ex-
altation which belong to genius are
egotistic by their very nature. A
calm, clear mind, not subject to the
spasms and crises which are so often
met with In creative or intensely per-
ceptive natures, is the best basis for
love or friendship. Observe, am
talking about minds. won't say the
more intellect, the less capacity for
loving; for that would do wrong to
the understanding and reason; but
on the other hand that the brain often
runs away with the hearts best blood,
which gives, the world few pages of
wisdom or sentiment or poetry, in
stead OF making one other heart hap
py, have no Question.-Oliver Wen
dell Holmes.

Few men marry the first woman
with whom they fall In love, says Elsa
Rema, the Dorothy Dix of Germany.
Chance, she says, is mightier than
Cupid and usually first loves become
separated. Men marry readily
when young, Fraulein Rema finds, but
when they are confirmed bachelors it
takes sympathetic housekeepers to
land them. Widowers are easy marks
because they no longer know how to
live alone. They are used to a home
and feminine caresses and are unable
to do without the comforts and ten
derness that goes with married
life. Same on this side of the
water, Rema. Same on this side

Juniper Tree Older
Than King Solomon

There is something about an ancient
tree that wins our reverence whether
we know much about trees or not. And
sometimes one Of these veterans Is
found of such age that we seek In
vain for word that expresses our
feelings about 1t.
In Logan canyon, Utah, a knotted
old juniper has very recently been dis
covered; the men Of science say that
1t had reached vigorous life before
King Solomon was born A student
in the Utah agricultural college dis
covered 1t. The tree Is still growing,
Its roots imbedded in rock at an ele-
walton Of 1900 feet above sea level;
It is about forty-four feet high. The
old tree has been taking It's nourish-
ment from the limestone cliff for 1900
years. All that time this noble vet
eran has fought lonely but victorious
fight against wind and storm and
drought. Through its long struggle
the old juniper has acquired sucn
strength that 1t is actually breaking
apart the ledge on which it grows and
gradually pushing several tons OF
rocky material away from the edge
of the cliff. The national forest serv-
ice has been asked to protect this
tough old settler from the souvenir
hunters, by surrounding it with a
strong steel fence.-Youth's Com

Tree Of Vast Age

A tree trunk of record size, that
grew in the coal-making forests mil
lions of years ago, has been discovered
by Prof. Sarl Noe, paleobotanist Of the
University Of Chicago. The find was
made In a coal bed of the Carbondale
formation, near West Frankfort, Ill.
The circumference Of the ancient trunk
is ten feet, and the length of the sec
ton unearthed about five. The whole
tree, as it originally grew, may have
been In the neighborhood of 100 feet
high, Doctor Noe says. The surface Of
the trunk is covered with closest pits,
which are the scars where the leaves
once grew. These ancient trees had
few branches, and the leaves grew all
over the trunk. like the scales of
fish. The name Of the genus, ''Lepido-

Historical Heroine

Beatrice Cslci was the daughter Of
Roman patrician. She was born in
Rome February 10, 1877. Her father
for many years abused his wife and
family In the most cruel way and as a
result the family procured his muir
der. They were tried and sentenced to
death. Beatrice was executed Sep
TENDER II, 1899. The circumstances of
her life have long caused her to be CON
sidered a martyr and her history has
been the theme of several poems.
