brother frequently and had never dis.
cussed the case with him.

That Extra Slice.

, When you're reducing it's terrible
nuisance to feel you must count prac-
tically every mouthful you eat. If
you keep track of your calories and
choose the foods which haven't much
caloric value, you won't have to watch
yourself too much. But here are a
few things to be careful about, things
which won't bother you once you've
started making a habit of doing them.
That extra slice of bread, for in
stance, is something TO watch out for.
How many, many times have I seen a
far too chubby friend of mine finish
the last of her meal, then, while we
sit talking, take and butter an extra
slice of bread! Usually that sort eat
too much bread anyway, a thick slice
with a plate of soup, one or two with
the meat course, another with the
salad-unless they eat little square
crackers with butter, which amounts
to the same thing, or very nearly so.
That sort, too, likes bread and butter
with a dish of berries, and just bread
and butter by itself in between
courses.
Now, then, a fairly small slice of
bread without any butter is 100 cal
cries. Those big homemade-loaf slices
of bread, cut rather thick, are half as
much again. The average amount of
butter that goes on your butter dish,

Advance From Calorie Theory.

Basing the probable nutritive value
of food on its mere analysis has Sc
riouS limitations. Students of nutri-
ton recognized this several years ago.
For a while it was believed that il
q man were to consume so many cal
cries of food a day he would be COM
pletely nourished. He should have so
many calories of protein, so many of
carbohydrate, SO many of fat. The
ash content in the food analysis tables
amounted to very little per cent of the
total. 1t is now known that the vital
mineral salts and much of the vitamin
element are in the ash content.
In 1895 Atwater wrote his Chem
istry and Economy of Food" His
book expressed his view of nutrition,
that if the chemical composition of
all foods showing the fuel values,
their protein content, water and ash
content, and the digestibility of each
food were known, and if the energy
or fuel food requirements of a person
at rest and when doing various kinds
of work were known, it would be pos
sible to plan a satisfactory diet.
Diets of people in all walks of life
and in different countries from about
1890 to 1900 were studied on the ba-
sis Of the findings of Atwater in
America and Volt in Germany.
It was after 1900 that the apprecia-
ton of the worth of certain foods as
supplements to other foods was fully
realized. AS McCollum says: THE
astonishing fact that certain lists Of
common foods do not maintain sat
isfactory nutrition, even though they
have, collectively. a chemical compost.

er list which is satisfactory for the
promotion of nutritive well-being, did
not become fully appreciated until

Necessary Pruning.

There are some faults that our chill
dren will outgrow. We need give them
but passing attention. A child will
cease to throw things on the floor II
corrected by example and slight
word now and then. He will cease to
eat with his fingers IL trained in the
beginning by example and direction
and help. He will cease pulling hair
and scratching his friends If gently re-
minded that that sort of thing Is not
done. We do not need to worry about
such things more than a day or so.
But growths of more serious kind
will sprout, and those we prune away
by daily correction. daily practice.
daily effort. 1t is unwise to believe
that a child will outgrow some of his
ways if left to himself. He will no
more outgrow selfishness~ than the
plant will outgrow the old stock that
rises to choke out the new graft. Good
habits are new to the race in many
instances, and they must be cherished
and encouraged. The old growth must
be cut down again and again until it
is so discouraged that it stays down.
Any conduct that can be traced to
crude selfishness should be pruned
away. A child takes what does not
belong to him simply because he wants
It. He makes a scene in order to have
his own way. He shouts at the top of
his voice in order to gain the attention
he desires. He makes himself COM
Portable without regard to the discom-
fort Of those about him. He shirks
his work and does not care who car
ries the burden. Those growths spring
from old stock and must be pruned
away, if the fine habits that make for
good character are to be encoura ged
to full growth.
When the child displays any form,
or many forms Of selfishness, sit down
and think in the quiet hour of your
day just what you can do to set him
the other way. What responsibility
can you give him that will result in
turning his attention outside himself =?
That is what must be done. 1t will not
help to make a speech about his short
comings. You say nothing and do
much.
Suppose he is the sort of child who
takes everything for granted, and
gives his brothers and sisters no con-
sideration al all. He uses the whole of
the table. all of the toys, all of the
space in the car. What is to be done
with him?
Give him charge of the toys or the
books or the seating at table or in the
car. Insist upon leaving it to him and
holding him responsible for the com
! fort of the others. 1t will be hard or
| you for a while, a year or so maybe
| but in the end he will have learned
to think about the other people.

reigns in history. AS a possible
heir to the throne she had been edu-
Gated with great care. She knew
Greek and Latin and spoke French
and Italian fuently. When she
heard OF the death of Queen Mary.
her cousin, which meant her own
accession, she fell on her knees and
exclaimed: 1T Is the Lords doing.
1t is marvellous in our eyes," only
the scholarly princess said 1t in
Latin.
In spite of her partiality for hand
some cOurtiers and her numerous
gallantries, she was determined
never to marry. To the House OF
Commons she sent this message:
and for me it shall be sufficient
that marble stone declare that a
Queen. having reigned such a time,

Queen Elizabeth lived to be 20
years old and her reign OF nearly as
years was one of the longest in his
tory. In fact, in 500 years of Eng
lish history only two other monarchs

be much interested in politics and in
her loneliness dreamed of freeing her
