capable of taking him around ends at
great speed.

and speed for spectacular gains rather

fit both San Diego and the Imper-

just such tour as this,' Pritchard
states. "We in San Diego want to
cooperate to the fullest extent with
the business men of the valley and
to work with the various chambers
of commerce in that section on all
matters of mutual concern. This

as a pleasure tour but rather as a

ness relationship between San Diego

growth for all cities involved.'

In serving family meals suitable
for an underweight wife and an over

for the husband to forego the cream

any sugar on it, or should not take
more than a sprinkling If perhaps his
grapefruit Is very, very tart. A whole
grain cereal would be best for both.
The wife should use cream on it, and
If she likes sugar, she may use It,,
and the husband should use the top
of the bottle milk and no sugar. Both
can have an egg, though 1t should not
be fried for the husband, because that
method spells fat. The wife should
have one or two pieces of bacon ac-
companying the egg. If they use cof-
fee, the wife would do we'll to use
cream and sugar, for the only food

husband should use top of the bottle
milk and no more than a teaspoon of
sugar. Wholewheat toast buttered
generously for the wife and in mod
Grafton for the husband should &C.
company the breakfast.
If the husband takes his lunch
down town, he must be governed by
the rules of his reducing diet.
If there is long interval between
breakfast and lunch, the wife should
take a mid-morning glass of milk
and a cracker. And her lunch should
