The Hay Diet
New Way to Vibrant Health.
BY WILLIAM HOWARD HAY, M. d.

chief curse in attempting to provide
for what he considers his needs in the
matter Of food.
You have no doubt all heard people
say: IT may not wear the best of
clothes and may spend little on en-
tertainment, but I am always good to
my stomach" meaning that Of all the
desires Of the day, those Of the palate
stand first. Now 1t is necessary to be
good TO the stomach, for it is the mill
that furnishes the materials used by
the body each day, but being good to
it consists in so regulating the intake
as to impose no impossible tasks on
this patient organ.
No animal except man himself is so
utterly foolish as to eat anything at
any time unless hunger suggests this.
Little children grow up weak,
anaemic, tired, listless, lacking ap-
petite, growth tardy, teeth deficient,
when they have had no chance
throughout their little lives to nourisn
themselves, but have been ruled in
their choice Of foods, in their times Of
eating, by mother, by relatives, by
physicians and nurses even, who were
none Of them able to tell when this
little one should eat or what it should
eat or how much. Only the child it
self could tell these things, and it was
given no opportunity to do so.
A noted nutritionist not long ago
demonstrated on q whole institution Of
little motherleSs children that If each
child is left to itself it will always Sc
lect the food for its needs at the time.
Her method was to set the table with
nothing but good foods, leaving out
the refined things entirely, and seat
the little ones about this table with
the opportunity of eating anything
desired that was in sight.
Often the little ones would make a
whole meal Of one article; next time,
perhaps, Of another article. But in
all the time Of the experiment the
little ones kept well and were bright
and alert and active, also good
natured.
Children are not subject to conven-
tional habit in eating; at least they do
not acquire such habit for a few years
after they begin to eat strong food.
But it Is said that, by seven years Of
age. the habits are fixed quite een-
orally for life, and the things children
have learned to like during the first
seven years Of life continue to be their
favorite foods so long as they live.
believe this is approximately correct.
and its realization puts a responsibility
on parents during the frst vital seven
years that Is hard to dodge.

Endurance
BY REV. JOHN r. GUM.

BE of good cheer" Matt. ix2.
WHAT is the matter with us today?
w Is it possible that people can no
longer endure trials without losing
heart and giving way to discourage
ment? Think of what people endured
in the days Of the pioneers. Think of
what hardships were suffered in other
periods Of depression.
Yet, in these days gone by, people
seemed to hit it off well. They did
not throw up their hands in despair.
Walk down the street today and meet
and talk with a dozen persons and
half of them will turn the conversa-
ticn into pitying themselves.
There are too many people down
in the dumps. Neurotics everywhere
abound. Everywhere people talk Of
the "blues." Even among our singing
people it has become sort Of fashion
to sing of the blues. And with what
doleful voicesl
What is the matter with Us? More
than anything else, it is Just matter
of abject surrender. We are all
naturally subject to many moods, some
good and some bad We are respon-
sible for the kind of moods we indulge.
There is no excuse for surrendering
to dependency because things have
gone badly with us. However sore
our trials, however hard our struggles,
it Is possible for us to face them
with courageous buoyancy and cheer
fulness. We can manage our moods,
If we will. Certainly they need man
aging in these days.
The fact that we so often give way
to our feelings and drop into a low,
dull, joyless and respondent mood Is
due more to a lack of faith and effort
ON our part than to any external cir
cumstanCes. Though our circurn-
stances he ever so depressing, we do
not need to give up to feeling of
dependency and helplessness. When
we find ourselves about to yield to
such mood, when we are tempted to
be bitter and sad and melancholy, we
ought to remember that we are divine
ly commanded to be, and therefore
ought to be, "of good cheer"
If we had not the ability to culti-
vate and maintain a, cheerful mood,
we would not be commanded to be Of
good cheer. What God commands
us to do, He pledges Himself to help
us do. We should remember, however,
that God helps these who help them
selves. There are many things we
can do to help ourselves. We should
put away the feeling Of self-pity, and
bestow our pity on others. 1

Natures Children
BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.
Giant Ragweed.
Ambrosia trifda.

~ MERSON has said that q weed
- is "a plant whose virtues have
III not been discovered" This
buxom lass of the outdoors
would seem to prove the state
ment, to some extent at least. To
mention her name in the presence Of
her victims makes them sh1dder.
Hay-fever sufferers know only that
this plant has pollen that seems to
have an uncanny way Of finding their
poor, sensitive nosesl
What they do not know Is that
this plant develops great quantities Of
pollen, in order that the wind may
take it to other ragweed plants and
thereby insure seed. The only inter-
est the poor victim has In the life
story of this plant is determination.
The Greek naturalist must have
been in joking mood when he gave
these plants the generic name Of Am
brosia, for 1t is q delicacy that they
do not suggest. Linnaeus added
trifida, which means three-lobed.
Ragweeds are known from the At
lantic Coast to the Rocky Mountains.
From July until October you may see
the tall, hollow steanls. bearing long,
slender spikes Of staminate flower
heads. Each flower head Is sur
rounded by @ whorl OF green leaves.
You will find the few fertile heads
close together, IN the ax1ls Of the
upper leaves. The top-shaped whorl
Of leaves is crowned with few spines
Of tubercles.
Even the most ardent botanist could
not call the flowers Of the great rag
weed pretty. They are pale green,
granular looking spikes, to be found
at the top Of each plant. The stamen
flowers (male) are at the tiptop Of
the plant and are abundantly covered
with pollen. They are pencil-shaped.
The pistillate (female) flowers are
smaller and are found in clusters at
the angles Of the leaves. Look at the
plant mother and you cannot help
but admire the clever plan she has
perfected. Godmother Wind comes
along and sits the pollen from the
staminate flowers to the waiting pis-
tillate flowers below, which develop
the seed children. or course, there Is
dreadful waste of pollen, when a
plant has to depend on the wind to
do the transferring Of the golden dust.
The ragweed dies completely. Her
seed children must carry on the
family name AID tradition. A little
seed baby weighs only a few grains
She must do all her growing in about
100 days and II she Is to reach a
height Of Is feet or more, which
many Of her sisters will, she must
grow over 2 inches each day.
As q foliage plant, the giant rag
Evening star., 1934-10-27

, weed is pretty. 1t grows in masses,
like q miniature forest, and each
plant tries TO 60 higher than its
neighbor in order to reach the sun
shine, Just as forest trees do.
No cattle trouble this plant. Birds
do not build In its branches and dur
ing the Summer the ragweed Is let
severely alone, except when q horse,
trudging along, dragging o plow or
harrow, has q vision Of the smiling
meadow beyond, where he could kick
UP his heels, II he were only free.
He yields to d very human trait, and
this to delay the wearisome trip back,
by pretending to enjoy the tops Of
ragweedsl Something he would never
be caught eating at any other timel
In Autumn the seeds are developed
and the birds flock to the plant to
enjoy the rich food. This Is the
only good thing to its credit. As the
SHOWS fall and the dead branches
are covered the thrifty field mice, no
doubt having marked the place where
the hardy plant was, make tunnels
under the snow to where the many
seeds are. Though mice are famous
for taking everything in sight, they
overlook some of the seeds and the
following Spring q young forest OF
giant ragweeds will be seen where
last year their parents flourished.

passed, but East ran-into three
spades. West went to four spades and
North, much to South's horror, dou-
bled. East redoubled.
The opening lead was the jack Of
clubs. South must hold on this trick,
allowing West to win with the king
in dummy. The fact that West passed
three clubs, doubled, seems to indicate
strongly that he holds three clubs;
therefore, North has only two. North
presumably holds the re-entries In
trumps. He must be permitted to
come through clubs once more before
West realizes that the only way Of
making his contract Is to take the

Therefore, South ducked the club

T<HE lines of this two-piece dress,
for juniors and small women,
show the tendency of the sea-
l. son to concentrate on slim,
narrow skirts, and to keep
trimming up near the neckline.
Stripes, too, are a favored design in
the new wool fabrics. Uncanny fash
ion scouts, on both sides Of the At
lantic, warn us that they are a trend
that bears watching. The woolen ma
terial in this model comes in varia-
tons of light and dark-beige with
brown, light green with bottle, rasp-
berry with wine, and all the other
popular colors in combinations of
light and dark. The effects are cheer
full and bright, without being noisy.
The silhouette in today's model is
favorite with the younger set. The
ruff1e at the neck Is removable, and
so, with the dress, can be worn with
triangle scarfs or youthfully cut col
lars. Wide belts are important this
Winter, and most every one has an
assortment of them in bright colors
to which they match their bags and
kerchiefs.

Success in Budget Waking
BY EDITH M. SHAPCOTT.

HERE was q period in home
management-long years ago
now-when the thrifty house.
l. wife set an arbitrary limit for
her food allowance and hewed
to the line not SO much con-
cerned with the problem Of balanced
menus as she was with balanced &C
counts.
Today almost every woman goes
about it in fairly scientific way She
knows just what proportion OF the
family income should be spent for
food, what proportion for each dif-
ferent type of food, and how to budget
for variety as well as calories.
There never has been time in
the history Of home-making when
there was available so much reliable
Information on these points. It comes
to her through the pages OF every
newspaper and home magazine;
through booklets disseminated by the
great industries; in free bulletins from
the Home Economic Bureaus of States
and at Washington; over the radio and
in free demonstration lectures at pub
lie utilities or before women's clubs.
So it would be strange indeed II the
budget had not long ago become her
friend.
1t was good for the man of the
family to know from scientific sources
that from one-fourth to one-half Of
his income should be spent for food
and that the smaller his income
the orraofar the ornDortion that should
be devoted to food.
And 1t was relief for the mother
to find that at least a third Of her
money should be spent for milk,
vegetables and fruits, regardless of
her spoiled family's demand for more
meat, more pies and cake. With emf
nent scientists to uphold her, she now
has no more arguments, and budgeting
means something tangible in terms Of
economy. enjoyment and good health.

| old Mother Nature.
TIT MAKES no difference whether
ii the news be good news or bad
1 news, whether 1t be known fact or
Just rumor, there will be no lack
of tongues to pass it along. So
the news that Winter was due to come
early spread all through the Green
Forest, the Old Pasture, the Old Or
chard and over the Green Meadows.
Peter Rabbit heard 1t first from
Sammy Jay, who had been the first to
| discover that Chatterer the Red Squir-
rel had begun before Summer was
fairly gone to lay up a supply of food
for the Winter.
For the life Of him Peter couldn't
understand how Chatterer could be so
weather-wise, and said SO. Sammy
Jay confessed that he didn't know,
either, but that this Is what people
said and believed, so he supposed 1t
| must be so. Then Peter began to hear
the same thing from others. Over in
the Old Orchard he heard 1t from
Tommy Tit the Chickadee.
do you believe it?" asked Peter.
Tommy Tits bright little eyes twin
kled. 1T Is what people say" he re-
piled. Anyway, it is true that Chat

ever has begun since I have known
him. If we are going to have an extra
early Winter, why is he in such q
hurry to begin?"
Peter couldn't answer that one. He
went over to the Green Forest and
there he met his big cousin, Jumper
the Hare. It was warm and Peter
said so.
at may be warm now. but 1t will be
cold soon enough. We are going to
have an early Winter" said Jumper.
How do you know" asked Peter,
although he was sure what the answer
would pe.
"Chatterer the Red spirrel already
has begun his harvest and that is
sure sign that Winter will come
early" replied Jumper.
But how can Chatterer know any
thing more about what the weather is
to be than the rest OF US do?" per-
sisted Peter.
Jumper was forced TO confess that
he didn't know. But 1t must be So"
he persisted. "It must be so or people
wouldn't say 1t is so and believe it.
And If he doesn't know, why should
he be in such hurry to begin?"
Again Peter couldn't find the an
swer. He parted with Jumper and a
few minutes later met Mrs. Grouse.
Il hear we are going to have an early
Winter" said Peter after they had ex-
changed greetings.
$50 hear" replied Mrs. Grouse.
do you believe that Chatterer
knows any more about when Winter
will come than we do?" asked Peter.
Mrs. Grouse scratched in the leaves
for minute or so. Then she held up
one foot and looked at 1t rather crit
ically. u would sooner believe my

Peter was puzzled. He looked 1t.
