More Calorie Tables.

If you don't care much for break
fast as meal, you can save up your
breakfast calories for lunch and have
quite a decent amount of food. But
If you do like breakfast personally,
| think it Is the incest meal of the
day if the coffee is good, then keep
the calorie ration below 150 and if
possible below 100.
Concerning luncheons, il you go out
to luncheon parties, naturally you are
dieting. You'll probably be the SEN
sation of the party. too; going on
diet always makes people intensely in
terested and is a most exciting topic
of conversation.
Concerning luncheons when you are
eating at home or alone and can
choose Eat dish of lettuce as large
as ever you like. with a dressing made
of salt. pepper and vinegar, or If you
dislike this bitter taste, add few
drops of tasteless mineral oil. This
is slightly laxative, but that won't
hurt you--it has no caloric value of
any kind, neither has lettuce, which
again is very good for your system,
especially for your skin, and which
gives YOU bulk" without calories. A

which has made several successful
flights.
The good old day are relived and
rehearsed so often that they seem
more real and natural than the living
present. All the unpleasant associa.
tions have dissolved. 1t is one of the
most remarkable traits that we tend
to forget the upleasant and distasteful
incidents of the past, while those of
the present are too vivid to deny.
Memory plays pranks. 1t recalls
wishes rather than facts. Think of
your last Summers vacation. How
wonderful it all seems nowE All the
hardships and mosquitoes are com
pletely forgotten. A man who has
crossed the continent many times
states, while he is in the East, the West
seems much better. He hustles West
and wishes he were back East again.
We idealize the past because we
have helped to produce it. We are
partly responsible. To denounce il
would be going back to our own self.
A man cannot deny himself Every
human urge prompts us to extol and
magnify whatever bears our own
trade mark. Hence the praises of the
good old days will continue to he sung
while human beings retain their ego
centric tendencies.

If a curry is made of cooked

When frying chip potatoes,
both time and frying fat will be

Cream when whipped should
be cold at the start of the whip
ping process. and better results
win follow if the bowl and whip
per are cooled with cold water
previous to use. Too much
whipping is just as bad as too
little. and care should be eXer-
cised to stop at the point where
the cream has reached good
degree of stiffness. Under ideal
conditions this will be within
two minutes. When cream is
properly whipped it will remain
unchanged for several days, eX-

There is a great variety in fur

good quality is in fashion and the most

OUR PERENNIAL "QUAkEsr

The earthquake" In New Britain
may have been the bona fide
article; the ground may have done
the Charleston or the Black Bot
tom for a few seconds. It would
take experts to decide the point,
and so far as we are aware nobody
claims to be an expert on earth
quakes in these parts.
But the so-called quake might
also have been one Of those percn-
NAL shocks incident 20 the rock
blasting along the trolley route TO
Plainvile. This is our opinion and
we stick to it. We have seen the
blasting, heard II, talked with the
blasters. Blasting rock Is as regular
an occupation out that way as Won

OF the city which felt the earth

PAYING OUR ENTERTAINERS

Jack Delaney, prizefighter, has
purchased real estate in Bridgeport,
his home town, and has paid $40
600 cash. That shows there is
money in rrizengh'tng, for when he
began his fstic career Jack had lit
tie money. He hasn't been at the
game long, either. and may earn
considerably more than that
amount before he is through.
That leads to a. continuation o.
rumination over the income Of
popular sporting idols. When one
considers the income OF Tyrus
Cobb, Babe Ruth. Collins, and the
other top-no,chers in popular pro-
tossional athletics one comes to the
conclusion that entertaining the
public in this manner is leading
industry. And when one adds the
incomes Of movie stars, even after
making allowances for that part OF
the blah intended TO impress the
public with their great value. one
merely increases ones conviction
that entertaining the public pays
