Easy to Slenderize The Low-C Calory Way

Are you sitting on the sidelines because your bathing-ssuit profile has lost It's trimness?
 What shame-when modern low-calory reducing diets make 1t so easy to melt away surplus pounds!
 Start right at the beach with . refreshing glass of orange juice GOO calories) instead of hot dog sand wich (3oo calories).
 No need to starve yourself. But remember that one rich dessert may have more calories than a complete, appetizing meal.
 Shun chocolate sundae at 400 calories but revei in summer luncheon like this one of only 338 calories: 1-2 cup chicken salad, 1-4 head lettuce, slice of melba toast, 1-4 cup raspberry ice, iced tea with 1 level teaspoon sugar.
 It's heartening to know that most fruits and green vegetables-iin- portant items on reducing diet are alkaline forming. They coun- teract acidity that causes loss of pep, complexion troubles.
 Our 32-page booklet gives com- plete, healthful reducing menus for two weeks; a three-day liquid diet to start. Also build-up program for the thin.
 Send 10c for your copy of THE NEW WAY TO A YOUTH FIGURE to the Waterbury Democrat Home Service, 635 Sixth Ave- New York. N. Y. Be sure to write plainly your NAME, ADDRESS, and the NAME of booklet.

 Poisoning by strychnine is mani- fested by convulsions, spasns, out of clear sky. The convulsions or spasms quickly bring death by cramp-asphyxia or locking of chest muscles so that breathing is im- possible, or from exhaustion. There Is good reason to believe that some alleged cases of rabies" in human beings are in reality strychnine poisoning.

New York.-Usually, in the deco ration of a room, the owner is so concerned about the buying of fur- niture, rugs and curtains that the equal importance of the lesser decorative objects" is all but for- gotten. By which I mean the pie lures, mirrors, vases, books, plants, figurines and delightful bibelots which give character and beauty to the room.
 This may be due in part to the feeling that 1t b extravagant to buy tlie lesser things so long as major furnishings are incomplete But on the whole I think 1t is be- cause we fall to appreciate the real part that accessories play !n making up the beautiful whole.
 French Provincial Room
 To illustrate this point, take French Provincial room, which might well furnish the inspiration for accessories in your own Colo nial, 18th Century or early Ameri- can room. There is a handsome French Provincial commode in na- tural walnut, over which hangs q street scene flanked by a pair of old framed documents. Near the chest is a scrap basket covered with weather-beaten old map. On top are books, a bowl of flowers, and pair of old tole oil lamps with tall chimneys and globe shades. A walnut bergere and footstool occupy the window space, with a gallery top table in walnut to the right, holding flowers in the basket on the back of a peasant girl In colored faience.
 There are, to bt sure, a number of other points in decoration which should be taken into account before

important. In many cases l like to underscale both furniture and man. tel to make the room appear larger. Height is always important to me, and I try to make rooms appear lofty. This can be done by building a low chair rail around the room; by increasing height of doors with over-door treatments; by building windows up to give vertical ap- pearance, as all vertical lines tend to give height. Tall, narrow book cases help to create the same illu- sion, or pair of tall marbleized pedestals with urns fitted for indi- rect lighting placed either side of an arched doorway.
 Other Height Aids
 The massing of pictures in groups over a sofa, chest or bookcase will also do this as three or four pictures hung together at about eye level, with one above the group to pull up a fiat wall that lacks inter- est. Curtains that have graceful valances and fall in folds on the floor help to create an effect of height and do not underesti- mate the value of mirrors, which give an illusion of light, height and color by reflection.
 A dark hall or narrow foyer can be frightened by using painted mir TOT glass, either in panels or as 8 tall mirror screen. This reflects light and suggests space in what often is cramped quarters. A piece of statuary in a niche on a stair landing, or sunken into foyer wall, also makes effective decoration.
 These are all good points to keep in mind-in addition to new furni- ture and fabrics-when contemplat- ing the decoration of a room.

SENATOR DIccs COMES HOME

The long session of the Michigan Legislature ended
last Saturday morning and the various lawmakers
ed to their homes, among them being our own Senator
Charles c. Dggs, the only coored member of the egsa
|ture.
In appreciation Of his outstanding service and spend
id record in Lansing, Senator Diggs accorded tes
monia by the Michigan Federated Clubs He was COM
mended for the fine service he rendered the and pre-
ented with handsome gold watch by members of the
ganzation and other friends.
This honor accorded Senator Dggs was indeed fitting
for he worked zeaously and efficiently member of the
Senate and of the most active and aggressive
members of that august legislative body.
In collaboration with Representative Hailwood, Sen
)Dggs sponsored and secured the passage of amend
Iment to the Michigan Civil Rights Act, which put real
teeth in the law that in future members of our
who Disseminated against and denied service pub
lie carriers in restaurants, theatres and similar public
places will be protected by the provisions Of the Civ
Rights Law to greater degree than in the past the
penalties for this type of discrimination will be
we're.
Senator Diggs also succeeded in blocking passage of
proposed bill which would have excluded nearly three
hundred coored children in Ferndae from the opportun
y Of attending the public schools in that locality which
are OPEN
Senator Diggs did not sleep his job at Lansing but
was always the aler seeking to safeguard and pro-
ec the civic and economic interests of his own people, as
well the white constituents he represented He conduct
ed himself in such wise and statesmanlike manner that
ne won the respect and cooperation of his white col
leagues in Lansing and secured their support for egsa
ton he sponsored
Senator Diggs was also instrumental in placing
numerous members of the good jobs at Lansing ana
IN other cities of Michigan.
In recognition Of these splendid achievements Sena.
Tor Dggs deserves and should receive the gratitude OF
coored citizens not only in Detroit but throughout the
State
