BEAUTY CHATS

Here Is a list Of foods that you must
not eat IL you are overweight The
reasons why will be obvious because the
caloric value Is always SO high.
No chocolate creams, for each medium
sized chocolate cream has a caloric
value of 100, and II 1t has q half
walnut on the top that's 15 calories
extra. and II 1t has an almond on the
top it Is 10 calories extra. No plain
candy, either, for its caloric value IS
almost as great as chocolate creams.
An ordinary chocolate nut caramel, Tor
instance. is also 100 calories. plain cara
mels little bit less. 1t Is almost i'm
possible to tell, but it is just as well to
reckon 100 calories TO every fair sized
piece of candy.
Sweet chocolate, either as a drink or
an ingredient in puddings or cakes, is
also forbidden. The caloric value OF
pound of chocolate. for instance. Is
more than twice what Woodworking
man requires for day.
Cakes are forbidden. The caloric
value of an ordinary slice OF cake de-
pends to a great extent upon whether
it has fruit, nuts, icing or almond paste,
but you can count on from 200 caiorleS
for q slice of plain sponge or pound
cake UP to $50 calories for nice, ricn
iced cake, and more than that for the
Christmas fruit cake. Puddings average
about the same: they are usually COM
posed of the same ingredients as cake,
although more liquid.
Pie is surprisingly rich, for great

A Sermon for Today
BIZ REV. JOHN r. GUNN.
The Little Foxes.

Text: 1.-The little foxes that spoil the
vines. Song of Solomon, Ills.
Not the hyena or the tiger Of mon
strouS sins. But the little foxes, the
small sins. These are the sins that
destroy the vines of character.
Little foxes soon grow TO be big
foxes. Little foxes OF temper soon be-
come grown-up iackals. Little foxes OF
innuendo very rapidly grow into big
foyes of SANDER and bitter vituperation.
The little white lie" becomes the pro-
genitor of the big black lie. The little
fox OF petty theft becomes the big fox
Of felonious robbery.
Little sins creep upon Us unawares
and often. before we recognize their
presence. they tear down our vines. Ig-
noring their presence and growth. we
become the prey Of the full-grown brood
before We are concerned about our con-
dition.
Little insincerities. little infractions
Of the law, the little evils We do-these
are the sources from which have sprung
the great masses of vice and crime.
Let one little fox In our vineyard and
soon others viii come fiocking in. All
evils have a strong affinity for one an
other. One sin is an invitation 10 o
whole train Of sins The soldier who
was sn1uggied into a fortress, concealed
in a hay cart, opened the gates Of q
citade! TO his allies outside Every sin
we admit into our lives is charged with
the same errand-open wide the gates
when you are inside and let us all come
In after you.
Take lis the foxes, the little foxes,
that spoil our vines: for our vines have
tender grapes" Character is a very
tender. delicate thing. 1t needs TO be
protected against every evil, even the
smallest evil. Keep away the little
foxes.
