Great English Actor
Vagrant by Instinct

Miss TidsweIl, the kindly bene-
factor of the youthful Edmund
Kean, taught him to recite, and
read Shakespeare to him. But even
kindness and comfort could not
ease his hectic spirit. Occasionally
he would break his bonds and run
away to sleep in barns, to haunt
wayside inns-imitating imps ana
apes. tumbling, dancing, recitins
and singing for his bread and but
ter.
That Miss Tidswell locked him in
his bedroom with his schoolbooks
made but little difference; he
would wriggle down the water pipe
at his window and wander for days,
restless and uncomfortable as an
alley cat. Even the device of weld
ing on his neck a. brass collar in
scribed "This boy belongs to Num-
Der 9 Leicester square. Please send
him home" had no effect; covering
the fetter with his handkerchief,
he defied detection and was happy.
The poor little devil was used to
shackles: when he was scarce more
than baby his reprobate father,
deciding that Edmund's scandalous-
~ bowed legs should be straight
ened, clamped them into iron
braces and in this state of torture
sent him TO lodge with some hum
BILE acquaintance in S0ho-a Mr..
and Mrs. Duncan.
Playing the grand inquisitor did
not greatly appeal to Mr.. Duncan.
1t disturbed his slumbers after his
-four ale" at the neighboring pub.
He complained: Gle used TO sleep
with me and my wife in his irons,
and they hurt u.s."

Foolish Reducing.

It seems impossible to believe that
any one in the whole world would be
SO lacking in common sense that
ridiculous and appalling measures
would be taken TO keep thin.
/ have just heard the story OF q
young chorus girl. She is 26 years
old, feet T, and should weigh about
139 pounds. She had q beautiful
figure. She was stylishly slim. one
day, an assistant manager said to her:
81 really believe you're beginning to
put on weight. Better be careful and
not get fat This young woman
weighed and found she was 140
pounds.
But this young woman, fearful for
her figure and her job, went about
seeking advice about reducing.
She tried a diet of lamb chop and
pineapple three times a day. This was
not satisfactory. She tried a diet of
baked potato and a glass of milk three
times a day. She tried eating nothing
but cole slaw and buttermilk three
times q day. She tried orange juice.
unbuttered graham toast and black
coffee for breakfast, and dinner of
three lettuce leaves. a tomato. a mix
ture of celery. spinach and olives.
She even resorted to thyroid pills.
She reduced to lis pounds. She lost
her health. Her vitality was weak
ened. Her nerves went to pieces. Her
stomach was wrecked. Specialists
who We're called in when she broke
down sent her to a sanitarium for a
year.
Such reducing methods cannot be
too strongly denounced.
The only people who should reduce

overweight is more serious ir persons

people.
Normal weight for every person
must take into consideration individual
type and heredity. One who is stockily

weigh slightly more than a frailiy

weight. Individuality must enter. The
normal weight is what is best for
good looks and good health.
Those to whom excessive over
weight is a menace should safely and
sanely reduce to normal by proper
balanced and adequate diet. All the
elements the body needs must be sup
piled by adequate food.
Diets Of one or two foods or of one
type of food are not adequate.
If you must reduce for healths
sake. be sure about the method.

Mix one tablespoonful Of mustard
with one teaspoonful of cold water and
stir into the sauce about two min
utes before serving. The quantity of
mustard may be increased or dimin-
ished as one may desire the flavor
strong or mild This sauce is suita-
BILE for boiled caulitiower, potatoes,
carrots and other vegetables. 1t is
also a good sauce for scalloped dishes.
The sauce may also be changed to
suit the taste by the addition of flavor
ing herbs.
Tomato Sauce.--This sauce is well
liked when prepared properly. To
make, cook one pint of peeled and
cut tomatoes for ten minutes, then
rub through a strainer. Beat in a
saucepan until smooth and light one
tablespoonful Of fioAr and one gener"
tablespoonful of flour and one gener-
ualIy beat the hot tomato into this.
Add salt and pepper and cook for 10
minutes. In addition to serving with
vegetables. this sauce may be served
with macaroni, rice, fish or meat.
The flavor of the tomato sauce may be
modified by the addition of onion, spice
or herbs.

/ have been reading good deal
lately about teaching the children the
proper use of their leisure time, Do
you think that this is important when
the mother is planning a daily food
program for the children? For in
stance, my children all go to school
and on their way home come through
a park where pickles and franifurters
and other indigestible foods are sold.
The children are hungry after school
and by the time they come home they
have eaten so much that they are not
hungry for the wholesome lunch
which I always set out for them.
When / talk to them, they always
come back with the answer that since
/ plead with them to spend great
little hard to suit. They are polite
about it, it is true. but I confess
am facing a situation where / must
seem to the children themselves as in
consistent. What do you advise?
My children are between IA and 16,
and although I do not agive them an
allowance of pocket money to carry
about with them, they frequently do
errands and earn small sums for
themselves, and as [ said, are apt to
spend this money in ways that are
bad for their health.-L. r.
This is an excellent question. The
whole matter of proper use of leisure
is so broad in it's application that
volumes might be written on it.

Answers to Food Questions

an admirable one of how difficult it
may be to solve the health problem.
Certainly it is good for the children
to come home from the park and
they should be encouraged in this
healthful play time. On the other
hand, it is, as you already realize,
just the time when they need food,
and it is small wonder that the lure
of the frankfurter is sometimes hard
to withstand.
AS for solution Of this problem,
1t must, of course, depend somewhat
on circumstances about which / am
not well informed. On the other
hand here are a few suggestions
If your young people spend, let us
say, from 10 to Is cents for pickles.

but it can be done. ] should study
the children themselves and decide
how best to interest them in thrift
lessons. This might include planning
for some special treat in the future so
that they would be glad to put away
5 of their Is cents for this. This
would leave them 10 cents to spend
and if you bend all your energies TO-
ward this end, / think you may get
them to the point of buying fruit for
their park lunch. One or even two

their appetite for lunch or supper
when they get home, and still give
their active young bodies something
to work upon while they are getting
