THE DIE HARDS

So the chamber Of commerce, Which took SILL
9O7O7 from Ell Centro's public feed trough in the
fiscal year 1934-35 q935-36 not aVaable), does not
want to abide by the will of the majority in the recent
storm drain bond election. Well if they must have
another licking they get it.
Wouldn't $11 9O7O7 buy lot of bread and butter
for Ell Centros destitute? And wouldn't it be dec-
lion times better to feed the poor Of the city than to
feed the chamber Of commerce?

NEW YORK, June 10. - For
many years Fannie Brice has seldom
appeared in a stage or cinema part
without the cast including her per
sonal Jester, Roger Davis. He can
inspire the comedians to an hllaf-
ity that often sends her shrieking
to the seclusion of a rest room in
cafe or cabaret.
Aside from being in Miss Brice's
shows, he is usually included in her
evenings out That his talent for
humour is best appreciated by her
is illustrated by his portrayal OF very
insignificant bits and none that pro
vokes more than a thin audience
smile.
He is a Buster Keaten dead-pan-
looking fellow whose comedy is Of
ten expressed by entering a room
with his toupee sidewise. All his
cloWning is of enormous eXaggera-
ton. the broad sweep of burlesque OF
the days of Sliding Billy Watson
and Snuffy the Cab Driver.
Davis, a bachelor, is not only a
favorite of Miss Brices but is gen
orally popular with ladies of the
musical chorus. In the flush days
of the Ziegfeld Follies no after-the
play party was considered a sue
cess without his unsmiling help in

extras that are often the most fun to
get and that give you the most
pleasure.
There's your cap. There are all
sorts of caps, of course. and sometimes
you make your choice on a basis Of
color, but if you are swimmer and
diver you will want to find the cap
that keeps out the most water. The
helmet cap with the chin-strap is gen.
orally conceded to do the most in this
direction and we have found two other

cap with a suction band inside to
hold it firmly to the head, the other
is cap with an inner band of stocki-
net in the back to keep a dry line
where the head touches the water at
the back of the neck and near the

when it comes to omelets, there
are many varieties. The simplest is
the French, or fat omelet, which con-
sists of eggs, a little milk or water,
and seasoning as desired. The eggs
are beaten, white and yolk together,
until well mixed, then cooked on top
of the stove over low heat to a Jelly
like consistency. Scrambled eggs are
this same mixture stirred while cook
ing.
A FLUFFY omelet is made by sep
arating the yolks and whites,
adding milk or water and seasoning
to the yolks, beating the whites to
stiff foam, and folding this foam into
the yolk mixture. In all these cases
the liquid milk or water, Is added so
the eggs will stand more heat before
coagulating, and so that the proteins,
when cooked, will be more tender. But
omelets Of any kind should cook slowly
to allow them to set without fall
ing and they should be served i'm
mediately and on q hot plate.
Among the omelet variations is the
'white-sauce omelet,' which consists of
white sauce-about one-quarter cup to
each egg-combined with the yolks
and the well-beaten whites folded In.
This makes q tender omelet and calls
for fewer eggs than does the plain or
fluffy omelet.
"Soufles, as they are called when
favored with vegetables, ground meats,
faxed fish, or grated cheese, and with
some fruits, are white-sauce omelets
oaKed. Or they may be thickened with
breadcrumbs instead OF white sauce,
depending upon the consistency Of the
vegetable or other fiavoring.

"ERUIT whips may be made with
the whole eggs, but if the fruit
pulp is thick-as in prune or apricot

used. The fruit Is heated to dissolve
the added sugar, and while hot is COM

ingredients are -four, eggs, sugar and

Strenuous
Reducing
Not Wise
Adopt Only Safe
and Sane
Regime.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

THERE is only one type of obesity
that we feel free to discuss In
these articles. and that Is the one
due to overeating But. whatever you
may feel is the cause Of your excess
arovidupois, don't let your "hunch"
be your guide.
Under any circumstances, we ad-
wise you to go to your doctor before
beginning any weight reduction.
Have him tell you of your physical
condition and If possible have him
supervise your diet. 1t is up to your
doctor to tell you whether you can
undertake a reducing regime at all,
and If you can precisely what line
of attack is best for your individual
needs.
If overeating is the cause Of obesity
there are several possible lines Of
attack First, to exercise and thus
burn up more food, cutting the excess
down to the zero point, or to such an
extent that more energy is actually
burned up than is supplied in the
food. This, of course, means draw
ing upon the reserves of fat.
The second line of attack is to
lessen the amount of food eaten and
cause the body to draw on its reserve.
For best results a combination OF
the two plans is advised.
Any attempt to reduce weight at a
rate of more than or pounds weekly
Is not ordinarily recommended. Re-
member that it is not merely loss OF
weight that is aimed at, but safe re-
duction. We emphasize that, and
we cannot emphasize it too strongly
