However, we can do nothing at

Curwen Brown rose from the
breakfast table and stood before

it before he spoke again.

TRAVELLERS

A WARNING to travellers who.
"A "for the fun of it." try to
smuggle jewels or other materials
through the United States GUS
toms is given by 10 Pennington in
an article in this weeks Liberty.
Does it pay to match your wits
against the sharpened wits Of the
inspectors?" she asks. Are you
sure you are good enough actor
to keep from giving yourself
away? Can you keep from boast
ing about your luck in sneaking
through the customs?
IF you can't" the writer warns.
"don't try to smuggle: because
you'd be surprised to know how
often servants; steamship en-
ployes, jealous social or business
rivals, relatives-sister and broth

with excitement.

NIHEN Darwin was a student,

N7HEN Darwin was a student,
w he commenced to study the
activities Of the ground worm.
He estimated, says Nature Maya
zine. that in British soil there
are found, on an average, $4,000
worms to the acre.
These worms pass approximately
10 tons of earth through their
bodies each year. AS they have
been doing this for hundreds Of
thousands of years 1t is easy to
realize the changes that worms
gradually bring about. Darwin
found that the castings Of worms

to 1900 calories is a normal days
food and that to reduce two pounds

from that, let us consider how she
is to divide up her food so as not to
exceed the 1,100 to 1900 Galleries she
may have.
Well to be safe, stick to vege-

meat, bread and buildings. ice cream.
eteetera. as possible. Low calorie
foods will bulk" quite a lot before
exceeding 1900. and a certain amount
of bulk is needed in the stomach and
makes reducing more comfortable.
Don't forget the preliminary fast to
shrink the stomach, by the way.
Then-here's breakfast for you each
day. First, two glasses of hot water
to clear the system and to prevent an
after breakfast appetite. For the meal
itself-half an orange go calories) one
slice of toast with the merest bit of
butter on it about IS calories) and
black coffee, which, If you must
sweeten it, can have saccharin tablets
in it. Or If black coffee is quite dis
agreeable. pour third Of the cup full
of hot skim milk and add the coffee.
This would add at least rs calories;
in that case. eliminate the butter on
your toast. Therefore, your breakfast
will be 1875 calories. Or, il you feel
weak before lunch, really seriously
weak, eat one small boiled egg $50
calories) a slice of dry unbuttered
toast $50 calories) and try to like black
coffee. I want to keep you under $50

If YOU like two cups of coffee, as
