Eating Between Meals.

A cartoon In a paper showed very
heavyweight lady in consultation with
her doctor.
"Unquestionably, you're stouter.
Are you sure you ate nothing but the
diet I prescribed for your"
Nothing. doctor, outside Of my reg
ular meals
That story is in line with the fol-
lowing:
I knew a certain young girl had
rushed off to town without any break

said
Mary, I bet you were starving at
| lunch time"
mot so very" she answered.

eat on your shopping expedition? Go

Mary.

well, / did get a piece of pie and
a glass of milk, too"
| That is the way with many people
They really eat far more than they
think they do.
The nibbling between meals or the
| ldh1lt6 VI IEo GIGd1iA nOucS OI OtllCt
soft drinks is really pouring food into
the body. In a slice of rich cake or a
few pieces of candy, being full Of
sugar, there is high energy or fuel
value. When more fuel foods are
taken than the body can use, the sur
plus is stored in fat.
People who are in good health and
Of normal weight do not need any It'd
bits between regular meal hours.
People who are reducing do not
need any extra nourishment taken be-
tween regular meals. If the over.
stout has been in the habit Of eating
irregularly, it may be hard suddenly
to confine eating to regular schedule.
But that is the best plan. However,
If Mrs. Overfat feels empty and gone
and faint for lack of food between
luncheon and dinner, an apple or an
orange, or perhaps just a drink of
water, will overcome this faintness
and yet not add fat to the diet. On a
properly regulated. nourishing, reduc-
ing diet there will be no feeling OF
hunger: therefore, no need to eat be-
tween meals.
People who need to put on flesh are
much benefited by extra nourishment

| Sally sprang impetuously to her
feet. Sinner had won. The green
slips she had purchased from the
'hookies" dropped from her lap In
her excitement. Richard Alden, who
had been standing near her, retrieved
them and handed them to her with a
smile. He had watched her from the
time the races had started. Those
with amber, hadn't moved from her
childish, excited face.

CHAPTER XVII.
The Horse Race.

That night they had horse races on
the deck. Sally had never been SO
excited in her life.
There were six horses in each race,
and the assistant pursers acted as
| ''bookies," one for each horse.
AT dinner little folded cards had
been tucked under each plate--score'
cards for the four races. Sally read
her own name and exclaimed excited
| ly, "Myra, / have a horse.
Then she saw Myras name, too
they both had horses. How wonder
fun
Mvra laughed at her enthusiasm.
"Mr. Alden has probably bought a
horse for YOU" she said evenly. John
Rigby had told her that afternoon
that he had purchased one for her.
A space on the deck was roped OFF
and the passengers all stood around 1t.
Myra and Sally, with four other WON
en-. were slated to throw the dice. 1T
was all very exciting.
The race course had been marked
on the deck with chalk. The six WON
en- sat at the head of the race course
and the purser stood behind them. AS
each threw a die from a little
leather cup he would call out the mum.

the wooden horses forward.
Sally threw. She was No. 6.

OBITUARY
LENA g. WEST

Wolf Point friends of Mrs. j. P.
West were shocked and saddened
this week when they learned of
her death which occurred at Will
liston Monday evening, following
an illness of more than a year.
In the eight years that the Wiests
lived in Wolf Point, Mrs. West
identified herself with the social
and civic life of the community
and made innumerable friends who
mourn her loss and who join in
extending sympathy to her ber-
eaved husband.

Bode. Iowa, on September 10, 1878,
and was the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Amos Peterson. In 1904 she

Williams county. On April 16,
1911. she was united in marriage
to J.. P. West at Williston. After
proving up her claim they moved

1914 when they came to Wolf
Point. living here for eight years.
In 1928 they moved back to Willis
ton and have resided there ever
since.
For the last sixteen months she
had been a patient sufferer from
cancer of the uterus, which with
complications caused her death.
Although she was steadily failing,
her spirit and her faith in her ul-
innate recovery never waned up
to the time of her death. She was
hopeful to the last, even after a
hemorrhage on Saturday afternoon
which marked the beginning of the
end, as life ebbed away at six
o'clock Monday evening. She was
conscious up to within twenty min
utes of her death and recognized
nose near ueI anu oPChC CASSA

sed into a peaceful and beautiful
sleep.
All that medical skill and loving
hands could do, was done for hel
to make her last days as comfort
able and cheerful as possible.

her in death, her mother dylni
when she was three years OF age
and her father about three year
ago. Besides her husband sh'
