plenty OF sleep and outdoor exercise and
correct diet. Above all things. don't
try to reduce to the extreme Slenderness
which young girls today seem to favor
for that means deficient diet. And a
deficient diet is undoubtedly the cause

Normal Adult Weights.
Mrs. IA good workable rule for
determining normal adult weight is to
allow ITO pounds for #. in height in
stocking feet without clothes), and So
pounds for each inch over that. One
can vary about to 10 pounds either
way, depending upon the heaviness oil
the frame, and still be within the
normal.
According to this rule, your ideal
weight, Mrs. j., is around 113 pounds
as you are it. 1l2 inches tall. You
certainly have done remarkably well tc
have reduced 40 pounds.
The pamphlet on reducing contains
the foundation diet and a sufficient
number of foods and their caloric values
to tide you over until you can go to a
bookstore or library and get book on
dietetics which will give you the Galleries
in the other foods.
You have to judge puddings and other
combinations approximately, by the
value of the different ingredients
Don't forget that sauces on buildings
make them run up sky high. Plain
gelatin buildings are lower in Galleries
than the average buildings because
there is no fat in them. In general
you can Judge the caloric value by the
amount of sugar that you think it would
take to make the pudding as sweet as ii
is. One cup is approximately 100 C.
Water ices are much better to take
than ice creams, for, as with the gela-
tine buildings. they have no fat IL
them. On-half cup (scant) of the
water ices of any flavor resisters 100 C.
while ice cream is only one-fourth cup
| to the 100 c
In computing the calories consumed
| give them the benefit of high count
if you are reducing and if you are
trying to gain, the low count.

there was a sharp turn in that little

that turn when he came face TO lace

Cubby gave little start of surprise.
The stranger didn't say a WORD. IN

grinned. If Cubby had known more
about grins he would have known that
that grin was not happy grin. 1t
was a frightened grin. That stranger
was frightened.
But Cubby didn't notice this. He
was too surprised to take note OF mucn

one quite like this stranger. To be-
gin with, this stranger wasn't very big.
He wasn't, for instance, as big as BOBBY

coat was rather Whitish and looked
as if it never had been brushed. He
had long tail, but there was no hair
on it.
The stranger had stopped as abruptly
