salesman who intends making a long
stay in Japan to engage an interpre-
ter to translate for him the informa-
ton contained in the trade journals
especially applicable to his business.
"Such an interpreter" the guide
adds, can be engaged for about 100

should be placed on the absolute accu-
racy of such interpreters, however.
But for all practical needs they will

TTOW to reduce weight and in
crease energy is the problem
- not only of the woman who
would be fashionably slim, but
also of the man who likes to boast
of being Sin good condition"
No one likes to deny himself
continually. For this reason diets,
which will bring ones weight back
to normal, in comparatively short
time, have become increasingly
popular. But the unfortunate
thing is that most diets which re-
duce weight also reduce energy.
And there is a very simple reason
for this.
Most foods which supply some
thing toward the building and re-
pairing of tissues, supply as much
to the fat cells as to the lean
tissues. And on the other hand,
those foods which do not supply
any starches, sugars or other fat
making properties to the body, do
not always contain the food ele-
ments necessary to keep the body
functioning properly. \
A prominent physician, whose
office had been filled with people
seeking scientific way to reduce
weight without reducing vitality,
offered, not so long since, what he
considered an ideal diet for reduce
ing. It is simply combination of
lamb chops and pineapple. Both
are known to have lean-tissue
building properties, both contain
protein, lime. (needed for bone
building and repairing,) mineral
salts, a large proportion of liquid,
fiber which supplies bulk and
roughage, essential to elimination.
Neither pineapple nor lamb chops
have fat-producing properties.
And, very Important is the fact
that lamb chops combined with
pineapple make an appetizing and
satisfying food.

HOW TO LOSE WEIGHT AND KEEP VITALITY

broiled, or roasted, or the pine
apple may be eaten as it comes
from the can.
One woman who lost weight con-
sistently on this diet, adhered to
the following method Of serving.
Breakfast: One lamb chop
broiled and two slices Of pineapple;
coffee, preferably plain, but one
lump OF sugar may be added il one
wishes the morning cup sweetened.
Luncheon: Place one lamb chop
on broiler and cook for eight
minutes without turning. Turn and
cover with slice of Hawaiian
pineapple. Broil eight minutes
more and serve on hot platter. A
glass of pineapple juice may be
served with this luncheon. (This
is available now in cans.)
Dinner: Roast two lamb chops
and two slices Of pineapple in a
self baster, which allows the juice
of the chops to permeate the pine
apple; coffee without cream or
sugar.
Physicians advise that reducing
be done slowly so that the body
may accustom itself gradually to
the changes. One-fourth of
pound day is sufficient to lose,
SO if after few days on the diet,
it is discovered that weight is be-
ing lost too rapidly, it would be
we'll to add other foods temporar-
lily so that one-fourth of pound
day will be the average loss. A
pound of fat is equal to about 1000
calories. Therefore in losing a
fourth Of a pound each day we
are decreasing our diet 1000 calor-
les, which is sufficient.
From the physiological stand
point, it is suggested that one
weigh every other day, so that one
can keep 'tabs" on the pound so
that the restrictions involved by
the diet, will seem worth while

French VS.. American Beds

There are many dissimilarities be-
tween American and French Customs,
says Roger De Monvel in Arts and Dec
grafton Magazine. For the moment
let us consider but one piece OF fur
niture. In France one enters into a
bedroom and the first object which
strikes the eye is the bed, usually OF
respectable size often monumental, oc-
casionally majestic. There is nothing
analogous in the United States. Il
speak in a very general way.) The
farther one goes away from France the
more it seems that the bed loses its
Importance. Amiable people entertain
one in their apartments, and when one
has seen everything from the living
room to the bathroom, one leaves the
house wondering where they sleep.
Yes, where the devil can they don
their night robes and sleep? In think
ing it over methodically, in making an
effort Of memory, one finally recalls
that in such and such a room of the
dwelling there was a sort of little low
divan, very short, very narrow,
adorned with multi-colored cushions,
and that it is there that undoubtedly
the master or mistress of the house
must seek rest from the fatigues Of
the day. But how reduced in size was
the divan, that sofa, that bed if you
prefer! What indispensable prepare
lions to get into it; what patience
needed in times of insomnia; and
what happy nature, that of Ameri-
cans!
Certainly these great beds in French
homes with their deep mattresses, or
feather beds as the case may be, look
very inviting. Compared with them,
the hard narrow beds in American
homes seem Spartanlike in the ex-
IRENE.

Canned pineapple is preferable
to the fresh fruit, in this diet as
it is available at all times, and
because fresh pineapple usually
has to be picked green and allowed
to ripen in ships en- route, whereas
the canned pineapple is the only
really ripe pineapple exported.
The fruit to be canned has ripened
to full maturity in Hawaiian fields
under tropical sun, and therefore
contains more vitamins and natural
fruit sugars.
Also, canned pineapple is full of
readily disable" energy. because
it is preserved in cane sugar, and
contains both the natural sugar
of the ripened pineapple and the
pure cane sugar added when the
fruit is canned. And sugar is con-
verified into energy within twenty
minutes after it enters the stom-
ach. Fat people who are accus-
toned to eating an amount Of
energizing sugar invariably feel
their energy decreasing on begin
ming a diet. They have acquired
the habit of eating sweets. But
by including pineapple, so rich in
both cane and fruit sugars, the
craving for sweets is partly salts
fled, and at the same time there is
energy necessary for the usual ac-
tivities of the day
1t is very important that the
person who is reducing feels
energetic enough to take normal
amount of exercise, because exer-
else hastens the breaking Of fat
cells and reduces weight. Physicians
warn us against a diet which saps
our energy to the extent that we
feel weak and unfit for our GUS
tomary duties.
Ways of serving the lamb chop
and pineapple diet may be varied
so that the two foods will not be-
come monotonous. Both may be
