Perennial phlox that standby of the
Summer garden, is about at Its best
now. It is so we'll known and so album
dainty grown that little new may be
said regarding it, except to urge home
gardeners to try some Of the newer i'm
proved varieties. Perennial phlox Is
great self-seeder and will, unless the
flower heads are cut after blooming,
soon fill the garden with seedlings
which, unfortunately, are almost always
less attractive than the named varieties
from which they came. Phlox will re-
vert very quickly to the common magen-
ia pink color characteristic of the wild
species. This plant is a native Of this
region, a fact which accounts In part
for its tremendous vitality.

DR.. Rogers explained the dire neces-

peal to all friends of the institution to
help the cause.
The hospital did not join the Com

cause the organization could not aid in

WANT PELOTE GAMES.
French Women Fight to Secure
Right to Practice Sport.

PARIS GP).-Women may practice
any sport but pelote in Paris. They
have tried for years to be permitted,
but the association that controls the
picturesque Basque game regards wom-
an as unable to stand the strain. They
may, however, play a variety of the
game called "raquette,' reputed to be
a near ancestor of tennis.
Pelote is akin to hand ball in theory.
The ball is propelled against a wall
from the "chistera," long, narrow
basket strapped to the waist, shaped so
that it is something like an elongated
hand.
Women are seldom permitted to play
pelote in the Basque country, along the
Spanish border, but group of Basque
girls living here are determined to
break down the barriers.

A Game Fight

That Governor Leslie would kill the registration

was expected; also, unfortunate.
ANY law which decreases the opportunities for
fraud in elections is step forward. That this par
ticular measure might have resulted in large
expenditures may be admitted But the cost Of hon
est elections ought not to be too expensive for state
which increases its gasoline taxes and other
without hesitation.
Indiana could afford more for honest government
than it can for some other things for which money
has been spent
The state has gained, if the Governor refused
to permit the to become law For the fight
made by this group of for honesty demon
srates the fundamental soundness Of the citizenship
and perhaps deep resolve to get rid of the forces
and influences which have dsgraced the state in the
past.
The crusade for this measure was unselfsh, which
is contrast with the motives exhibited for many
measures
The crusade brought together women of all po-
litical parties on the common ground of honesty in
government. That is an advance over partisanship
The women are to be congratulated, even if they
did not obtain results 1t required courage and
gameness to in the face of desperate odds.
They won the legislature. Two years hence they may
persuade the Governor that the people with them

One Certain Way to Reduce Weight

as was given to this woman and
others of similar type, included for
breakfast one egg and one ounce of
bread; for lunch, one egg and four
ounces of assorted vegetables, in
GLIDING lettuce, spinach, asparagus,
celery, mushrooms, tomatoes, brus-
sells sprouts, caulif1oWer, radishes,
cabbage and onions; for dinner, one
cup of boullion, three ounces of lean
meat weighed after cooking, and
four ounces of assorted vegetables.
Other directions included the ON
mission of lard and butter in cook
ing, the avoidance of fried foods and
the preparation of the vegetables
without milk, oil or egg dressing.
1t is also important to emphasize
that everything on the list must be
eaten. Such patients also are adj
vised to take teaspoonful of soda
in half glass of water twice each
day to avoid acidosiS, which may
develop during reduction by dieting.
Obviously the proper handling of
a patient on a reduced diet is an
extremely scientific and technical
matter, involving regular observa-
ton and study to avoid dangerous
complications.
The human body is in many re-
spects like a machine, which de-
mands a certain amount of fuel for
certain amount of energy output,
but it varies from the machine in
the fact that it will use up the ma
chine itself if the fuel is not
equivalent to the energy output.

into account the metabolic rate and
governs the treatment accordingly.
Recently physicians have been Sc
curing weight reduction in patients
by calculating the correct diet for
the ideal weight or whatever weight
is desired and feeding the patient
accordingly.
For instance, a woman 81 years
of age, "a inches tall and married

Kilograms, or 125 pounds. A diet
was calculated for her so that she
had daily intake of 681 calories,
which included 60 grams of protein,
as grams of carbohydrate, and %
grams Of fat.
She weighed at the beginning of
treatment 176 pounds, or 30 kilo-
grams. If she wished to maintain
this weight she would have to take
2,400 calories a day. 1t was esti-
mated therefore that she would lose
from twelve to fourteen pounds a
month on the reduced diet. The
diet was maintained for ten weeks,
during which time she lost forty
two pounds.
At the end of the period she be-
gan to feel tired and exhausted. The
diet was increased until she had
gained four pounds and then
changed so that she would main
tain this weight.
