what is your opinion of taking thy
roid medication for reducing? / have
heard that it is on account OF the
failure of the thyroid gland to func-
ton that the fat Is gained. J."
A great many overweighters love TO
blame the thyroid or something for
their plight. 1t sounds better than
overeating. However, if there Is much
of a decrease in the thyroid secretion,
one will develop definite disease
myxedema-and become very fat and
pasty-looking, anemic. in way drop
sical, and the mentality will be very
much lowered. If born with defective
thyroid, the disease is known as cretin-
ism (and the patients as cretins). These
conditions are markedly benefited by
thyroid medication. This explanation
will show you how few of those over
weight can blame their thyroid.
1t is probable that not only the thy
roid, but all other organs of the body,
are deranged by the unbalanced diet
which brings on overweight, so there
may be lessening of the thyroid Sc
cretion eventually.
In the overweight which Is simply
due to overeating for the needs, thy
roid medication may be extremely HARM
full Usually the advertised reducing
tablets contain thyroid. If one is going
to take any medication whatever, it
should be only under the careful SUPER
vision of physician who has studied
especially along those lines. Personally,
l am beginning to believe that there is
no case of overweight that cannot be

Teeth Gritting.
"What causes a person to grit his
teeth at night?--J."
AS far as I know or can find out
gritting the teeth at night in child
hood or adulthood is simply form OF
restless sleep. Restless sleep may be
due to many causes: Overeating before
retiring, excitement, emotional stress
lack of ventilation, too cold or toe
warm, etc.
CaIoric Value Of Cake Fig Bars.
ST am endeavoring to reduce, but
cannot resist the temptation of my daily
dozen of fig bars. Please. what Is the
caloric value of these?-R."
The caloric value of the fig bars de-
pends upon their size One ounce regis
ters 100 c. OF the usual size it takes
one and one-quarter bars to weigh an
ounce.
You must learn to resist them, r., for
they are chiefly energy food, and energy
food is what you must cut down on
markedly III order to reduce, for you
want your own body fat to supply a
large part of the energy needs. Swear
off for a month and you will find that
you have lost your desire for them.

The hostess who Is planning Thanks

service best suited to the informal char
acter of the meal. Generally speaking,
people are so surfeited with food on
this dav that it is we'll TO plan some
light. especially appetiZing and attrac-
tive dishes. else you may find that your
guests lack appreciation of your efforts
In the buffet style of service cold
foods or those that can be kept not
over hot water or i'll q cha1lng olsn
will prove most acceptable. Platters OF
cold food, attractively arranged. may De
set on either side OF the table so tnat
the guests may serve themselves. P1es
of plates should be placed near each
platter: napkins arranged conveniently,
and forks and other necessary pieces OF
silver placed on the table near the
plates or the dishes with which they
are to be used.
A good menu for q very simple meal
consists of a salad made of hard-boiled
eggs stuffed with crabfiakeS, thin bread
and butter sandwiches, fig layer cake
and cider. 1t may be made more elab-
crate by adding a hot dish. such as
shrimp a la king. stuffed mushrooms
or sardine rabbit-all of these may
be kept not In the eieCIrlc CHdIlIlS
dish or over a pan Of hot water. In
stead of the layer cake, frozen des-
sert and plain sponge cake may be
used, with hot coffee added as bever-
age.
To make a salad for six people Il am
giving these proportions. as they can
be easily multiplied), boil six eggs
until hard, cover with cold water and
let stand until thoroughly cooled. Re-
move the shells and cut the eggs in
half lengthwise Remove the yolks and
mash them with half a teaspoon of salt,
one-fourth teaspoon table sauce, one
! tablespoon mayonnaise and paprika to
season. Pick over one cup of crab
fakes, add two tablespoons of French
dressing and fill the egg whites with
this mixture.
Put the egg yolk mixture in pastry
bag with a large rose tube. Press the
egg yolks through this over the crab
flakes and the rims of the egg whites
Garnish each half of egg with slice
of stuffed olive and arrange on a bed
of small, very crisp lettuce leaves. Pass
mayonnaise with the salad, and serve
sweet picked cucumber rings or small
sweet pickles as an accompaniment.

Fat Foods.

Fat foods are the slowest in digesting
but this does not mean that they should
not be included in the diet. Thev are
among our best sources of heat and en-
ergy. Grown people get their fat re-
quirements by the use of fat meats
fried foods, butter, cream, oils, etc. Some
of these are also suited to the diets of
children, but fried foods should not be
used for them, as they are likely to
cause digestive upsets; fat meats should
also be omitted, with the exception of
an occasional serving of bacon. The best
sources of fat for children arc milk and
butter.

My Neighbor Says:

Preserves of all kinds, more es-
pecially if they are in glass bot
ties, should be stored in a dark
place. They quickly deteriorate ir
flavor If kept in a light place.
A few drops of turpentine drop
ped on a cloth and rubbed over an
enameled bed will remove dirt and
spots instantly and leave a good
gloss.
Boots and shoes to be kept in
good condition ought to be clean
ed often, whether they are worn
or not, care also being taken that
they are not left III damp place
or put too near the fire to dry.
In cleaning them take care to
brush and noS scrape the dirt
away.
When washing walls that are
painted, put a little household
ammonia in warm water ard use
white soap. Change the water as
often as it becomes dirty.

Schafer found that his fears re-

tered bodies led him to believe that
the $50 inhabitants of the town had
been drowned.
The stricken territory had been
divided today into sectors so that

Ex-senator Lewis Declares
Religion No Issue.
BIZ Times SpccinL


GARY, Ind, Sept. 25.-Religion is
no issue between Hoover and Smith,
j. Hamilton Lewis, ex-United States
Senator, declared here Monday night
in opening the Indiana campaign
for Governor Alfred E. Smith for
President.
"The issue must be determined in
the balances of man to man on the
American basis of character and
qualification for the high Office for
which they are presented to the
American people" said Lewis.
Lewis recounted that Grover
Cleveland, a Democrat, began with
appointing the Union general, Pat
rick A. Collins of Boston, a Roman
Catholic. President Mckinley,
Cleveland's successor, named Con-
gresham Joseph McKenna, Roman
Catholic Republican for attorney
general of the United tSates and
then promoted to justice of the
United tSates Supreme Court.
Harding, he said, named Pierce
Butler, Roman Catholic of Mime
sofa, for justice of the Supreme
Court, while Taft appointed the Ro-
man Catholic, Justice E. D. White,
chief justice.
IN the oil scandals, Lewis recalled,
it was a Roman Catholic Democrat,
Thomas J. Walsh, Senator from
Montana, who prosecuted the in
vestigation against the other Ro-
man Catholic Democrat, Edward
Doheny, and it was Butler who
wrote and delivered the Supreme
Courts decision against Doheny.

twenty-four other men in a roundup
of an alleged band of criminals by
Chicago police.
Since the date of the Staying,

from an auto in which the bandits
escaped. The tag was for car left

given. At the store in the same city
where the hat was sold Stanley has
been declared the purchaser.
