Potato, Banana or Bread as Good
 for Fat Folk aS for Thin
 Whether a substantial food Is "fat- tening" or not depends principally on It's r1utritive value, not on the amount of fat 1t contains; 1. c. the number of calories 1t yields on digestion and assimilation, combus- ton, oxidation, metabolism, utiliza- ton in the body. By this guage we find that bread yields approxi- mately three times as much energy or as many calories and is there fore three times as fattcning as banana or potato. Tn other words one ounce or one pound of bread is equivalent to three ounces or three pounds of banana or potato in food value.
 But there arc certain differences in these three staple foods which deserve consideration if you desire to decrease or increase your girth rate.
 Potato is 70 per cent water, 2.5 per cent protein, 20 per cent car bohydrate, 0.1 per cent fat, 0.8 per cent mineral salts, yields 440 cal- ories to the pound, is q good source of vitamin c (raw potato) and a fair source of Vitamin B and c.
 Banana is 75 per cent water, 1,3 per cent protein, p per cent car- bohydrate, l per cent fat, O.8 per

 Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

Perhaps the story of "Timothy's Quesp is just one more good old- fashioned tale of the orphans, the cranky old maid and the fair dam Bel denied her swain. But when I had watched poor Timothy" in the movies, hunting a mother for his little aster, something occurred to me that must have been topmost in the thoughts Of everyone there.
 Are there any children like that todayp Were there ever any? Did the author make him up out of whole cloth, that little boy who took baby sister by the hand and ran of with her when he found they were to be separated? Just how artificial was he2
 I suppose If we would look around, we would find some of this same brand of "brotherly love" to- day, but I have a feeling that there was a time when Timothy would have been not only perfectly possi- ble, but ordinary; that away some time Tn the deep past youngsters took their responsibilities to one another seriously and lovingly.
 Family Loyalty Weakened
 If we find the spirit of '36 dif- fcrcnt, and children forming their ties anywhere else but at home, we must not blame the youngsters too much. It isn't all their fault. What has happened is that we have over-accented the individual at the cost of service. And outside interests, legion in number, make for stronger alliances with Btrang- CTS than with kin.
 On the face of 1t, everything looks much the same. There arc mother, daddy and the children all in one house being fairly decent to each other.
 Underneath, however, 1t would be interesting to anaIyzc few things Since the child of today is strongly himself, can 1t be that his regard for home is one part tex tended personality" and one part convenience, with dash of the more noble sentiments, as, for in- stance, concern about the real well fare of the othersp
 l have a suspicion that the for mula is nearer right than wrong because, as see 1t, children are more irritable than they used to be, say in Timothys time, when their personal comfort had to give way more or less to the rest, and ideas of self were not so developed or emphasized.
 Real Sacrifice Rare
 Service and love are not alto gether dead; it would be an error tO say that they do not exist. Evi- dences of brothers and sisters sac rincing themselves for the good of one another are not uncommon. But such cases are usually com menLed upon, because they are more exceptional than usual.
 Extremes, however, are not the subject of my ode. Sacrifice is noble but we can't ask or expect it beyond a certain point. It is service" born of courtesy, consid- eration and respect that needs more nouriBhmcnt than it's getting. If things go on and every child is too indivlduaIistic to see beyond the end of his nose, what is the good of family life at all except for bread and butter? Are parents, themselves, only to be of use?
 Timothy may be just too goody- goody Co be true, but personally I thought he was swell. because he stood for something that pretty well went out with hoops.

 If there is ample space, guests may be seated at small tables Otherwise, the refreshments are served buffet style.
 However, there must be one table for the bride, groom and attend- ants. Tn the center of 1t is the handsomely decorated bridal cake from which the bride cuts the first slice. This cake is not to be con- fused with the wedding cake usually heavier, fruit variety baked several weeks before the cere- mony, which is cut in tiny pieces that arc done up in small white boxes the day before the wedding.

newly married couple, followed by the best man and maid of honor, lead the way to the room where food is to be served.
 If the wedding takes place be- fore four o'clock, the feast is called wedding breakfast. If after four, 1t is 6 reception. After an early morning wedding, a regular break fast, consisting of fruit served fin some fancy manner, eggs, bacon toast and coffee, IS served.
 For @ noon wedding breakfast, fruit or clear soup, an entree such as creamed chicken, breast of squab or lobster Newburg, salad, dessert and coffee are correct. After an evening wedding, this same type of menu with perhaps an extra course, will serve the purpose.
 Tn any event, wedding reception food should be prepared carefully

 Bread is 30 per cent water, 0.2 per cent protein, 54 per cent carbohy- drate, 1.3 per cent fat, IL per cent mineral salts, yields 1920 calorics to the pound and contains practical ly no vitamins.
 A reducing diet which hos re- ceived considerable publicity con- sists of nothing else than six large bananas and . quart of skinned milk, to be takens in three or four meals according to the patients habit, for ten days to two weeks, The average overweight adult loses from four to nine pounds on this diet.
 I do not consider 1t an adequate diet. Many adults who have tried 1t agree--at least they could not stick to 1t more than few days. Skim milk has about half the nu- tritive value of whole sweet milk and about half the VitamIn value. One who eats, say, 1M bananas with a giassful of skinned milk at each of four meals daily gets about 050 calories. By no means sufficient to maintain an adult even lying abed There is no good reason why any obese individual should be in such a tearing hurry to dwindle. It has taken years to accumulate the ex- cess. Why the sudden determina- ton to slough 1t off in Q month"; In any event the banana and skinned milk diet should be sup- plementcd or fortified with an op- timal vitamin ration, as should any restricted diet, whether the object ib to reduce or not. If such a diet is properly supplemented with the es- Sential vitamins, the patient will find 1t easier to stick to tho regi- men, for 1t is not simply hunger that demoralizes 50 many of the stout brethren and sistern who at- tempt to reduce; 1t is impairment of nutrition, and the chief factor of this Is the lack of essential vitamins which becomes extreme when the ordinary food intake, already vita min-poor, is sharply restricted for any considerable time.

 Crying is at natural to a baby as complaining is to good many adults. Even weak, premature bab- les will cry with Q l low, feeble whine that sounds like the newing of a cat.
 Sometimes crying is the result of a display of anger; sometimes or fear. It is an emotional reaction.
 Few people realize that crying is one way In which the baby gets exercise, but by crying 1t also gets attention. Babies are just as eager for attention as are most grownupg.
 Psychologists recognize that cry- ing helps to ventilate the baby'g lungs, forcing out residual air, and replacing 1t with fresh air, drawn in by the deep breathing that fol- lows the crying attack. Moreover, crying usually is associated with active movements of arms and legs.
 
 There are 50 many different reasons why babies may cry that 1t Is impossible to try to diagnose each one separately. in many inc stances the baby cries because it Is not comfortable. Certainly it is not comfortable if a sharp cfld of . safety pin 1s penetrating ilA skin ct some concealed tender spot.

 one who receives an invitation to a wedding reception is expected to accept or decline within week. The reply follows the form of the invitation itself. For instance, if you receive an informal note from the bride-to-be, asking you to drop around to her wedding and break fast, you answer simply and in- formally. If the invitation is form al, your reply is written in the same manner (third person gingular) :. Write 1t in longhand with black or dark blue iny on pure white paper.

PROMPT REPLY EXPECTED

It is customary for one who is invited to the reception to send a present. It should be addressed to the bride. Have 1t mailed direct from the store, enclosing your card, of course. Always have an under standing with the store that your present can be exchanged by the bride. You may have picked a per- fectly handsome silver platter or bowl, but, if she gets ten bowls, the chances are that she will want to exchange some of them.
 Most schools of etiquette hold that the brides own monogram always should be used on wedding gifts. Some, however, allow the mono gram to include the initial of the brides first name, the initial of her madden surname and the ini- tial of her new name. Thus, Mary Elizabeth Jones who rlarries Tom Smith can expect some of her presents to be marked MEL, and others MUS.
 The bride or some member of her family should make careful list of wedding gifts and their donors. Within two weeks after the ceremony, the bride herself must write thank you note to each giver. Incidentally, nowadays wcd- ding gifts are seldom displayed on 8 table for the reception guests to zee. If they are, cards should be removed.
