 Lentils are the roast beef of many European diet. And you don't have to favor the League of Nations to know that with meat sky high foreign dishes offer substantial ways to cut the food bill without cutting down the family nourishment.

Sleek tailleurs for daytime and evening gowns which mold the body lose practically all of their suave charm when worn over figures that bulge in spots. This is the time to get rid of thickness through the waistline, excess weight on hips and thighs and to correct your posture.
 Even though you are not parti- cularly interested in losing weight or inches, do limbering and stretch ing routines regularly. A stiff, tense figure looks years older than a 1.-the, supple one.
 When you wake up in the morn ing, fling the covers back and stretch before you get up. Lie on one side, bring knees up to chest, then stretch legs and arms-slowly, like sleepy kitten. Twist this way and that un- til your body feels Timber and alive any eyes are wide open. Get up and, standing barefooted, stretch arms toward the ceiling-up, up, up, pulling your lazy waistline this way and that, flinging arms forward, up, back, and forcing the kinks out of your neck.
 If you are trying to cut down dimensions, finish stretching, then do slenderizing exercises for ten minutes.
 Lie flat on your back on the floor, raise legs upward, supporting your hips with your hands, and make believe you are riding a bicycle. This is not a new exercise, but it's one of the most efficacious of all.
 Persistent rolhag will take inches off hips and thighs. Lie on the floor, arms outstretched, knees slightly bent. Holding shoulders flat and keeping heels in place, roll to the left as far as you can, then back to the right. Repeat thirty times, always pressing hips firmly against the hard surface.
 To reduce your waistline and make stomach flat, sit on the floor with legs wide apart. Keeping knees stiff, lean forward and touch right toes with left hand. Reverse, touch- ing left toes with right hand. Re- peat ten times.
 Now you are ready for breakfast. And do make 1t light one. Modern diet experts agree that one who has only fruit, one slice of toast and coffee for breakfast, and salad, fruit and beverage for lunch, can eat about everything she likes for dinner and NOT gain weight. However, while waiting for soup, remember to eat appetite spoilers like radishes, celery and pickles instead of quan- titles of bread and rolls. And finish your vegetables and salad before or- dering dessert. This way, you'll be more likely to order @ fruit dessert instead of a rich, very sweet one.
 If you get hungry between meals, a glass of milk or eat something bulky, such as fruit of an order of

Paris (UP)-Fireworks displays at the Paris Exposition with stars bursting in mid-air and comets shooting of the Eiffel Tower against a black night sky have inspired brilliant decorations on evening gowns for the winter season.
 Mainbocher presents a black net gown of romantic silhouette with sequins in red, gold, green, blue and all of the fireworks colors spraying like fountains of color from the waistline to the hem.
 Sequins feature prominently as trim in Paquin's collection with fireworks" of gold, rose, blue and chartreuse decking the skirt of a black net gown. Shimmering circles the size of quarters make a sleeve les bolero of chartreuse worn over deep green velvet gown with slit skirt and clinging train and dull gold sequins form skirt panels and jacket for an evening gown of white crepe.
 Sprays of rhinestones form silver stars against backgrounds of velvet in several of the leading dress making hosses, rhinestone flowers set close to the neckline, silk em- broidery in gold and jewel tones and brocaded cloths of rare beauty all hint at the brilliance of the exposition. If
 Schiaparelli Achieves the fire works effect subtly through use of lustrous embroidery, Q block of se- quins marks the bodice of Q wine velvet evening coat, and heavy gold and jewel embroidery gives spec- tacular beauty to the pockets and collar of lounging pajamas of wine velvet.

Flowers and vines make this east window the loveliest spot in the house
 Orange-gold nasturtiums, fianked by purplish-blue African violets, bloom stanchly on the sill. Four blue-painted pots of trailing green English ivy accent the simple drap- cries.
 All these plants do well with little care. African violets bloom best in small pots that crowd their roots. When watering be careful not to dampen foliage.
 Start your nasturtiums from seed right now, or get young plants from the garden started in pots. Plants already blooming aren't likely to bloom again indoors.
 If gathered in late summer or very early fall, English ivy roots well in water or in earth.
 Japanese morning glories make a gorgeous sunroom display. Three foot vines grow rapidly from seed, bear blue, red, purple and snow white flowers.

 Quaint Medical Advice
 When I called at doctors offlce he told me that he and his wife had not missed taking @ certain physic and liver pill daily for about two years. think the pill is his own formula. Is 1t advisable for a person to take such liver pills every day? (F. s. J)
 Answer-No. That is just an old Yankee custom. Taking physic or using artificial means of any kind to force evacuation is just a bad habit in most instances. Send ten cents coin and e thre-cent-stamped envelope bearing your address, and ask for booklet "The Constipation Habit"
 Exposure to Sun
 Read that in the tropics one must wear hatsko avoid sunstroke. Is this true also in the temperate one must work in the sun on a hot day? enould there be air space or air- vents in the hat? (Mrs. w. J. W.)
 Answer-For comfort some pro- lection against the midday sun Is advisable in the tropics and in very hot weather in the temperate one. The hat should have an air space or air-vents of one kind or another to permit ventilation.

Pineal Glands Exact Function Is ShU CI0aked M Mystery
(No. 304)

(NO. 3O4)
 By DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American
 Medical Association, and of
 Hygeia, the Health Magazine
 The pineal gland is another whose activities seem to cease at the time of maturity. This gland lies within the skull at the lower portion of the brain. AS yet we have no cer- tainty as to what its functions in the human body actually are. When this gland is studied under the microscope, it is found to consist largely of cells which have secre- tion.
 The gland is very tiny-about the size of a pea when 1t is fattened out. When, however, 1t becomes en- larged from any cause, 1t tends to close up the canal by which the cerebrospinal fluid circulates from the brain into the spinal cord.
 If this canal Is closed, the fluid in the brain develops a high pres- sure with symptoms so serious they may lead to death.
 Various effects have been ob- served following the injection of extracts of the pineal gland into ani- mals. I tis supposed to have some effect in stopping overaction by the sex glands, and also to inhibit too rapid growth. These effects are, of course, doubtful. One of the diff1- culties lies in the fact that no method has yet been found for mak- ing an extract of the pineal gland which with certainty has definite activity.
 Generally, animals that are fed With this material grow larger and stronger muscularly, although there may be trouble with the de- velopment of the genital organs. Tn guinea pigs If the gland is de- stroyed, as has already been men, tioned' the sex organs grow more rapidly and become larger than those Of animals which do not have their pineal gland destroyed.
 From time to time the changes in the pineal gland have been re- lated to various diseases of the muscular system, including partic- ularly the one called progressive muscular atrophy. However, there Is no certainty that these changes in the gland actually occur.

 Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

Once in a while I receive a let ter from 8 mother who has prob lem which she cannot take to a relative or friend, or even to her husband. Sometimes the trouble concerns her husband himself. l am even consulted about divorce, at times, but this is something that cannot be answered at long distance. Circumstances change cases, and what is needed is heart to heart talk with some sympathetic soul nearer home.
 So take this occasion to speak to all distressed wives or mothers who feel that they are at the end of the string, and cannot go on.
 Each of us has our cross. There are few fortunate souls in the world who, by disposition or circum- stances, escape the heavy burden, but by and large each of us has some deep mental agony that eats at our vitals and saps our mental physical and moral strength.
 Frank Talk Is Relief
 In such a case who is there to turn to? Most people shrink from speaking of the thing that hurts them most. Yet this is the very time that an unburdening of ones thoughts is the most necessary.
 The person I Ithink the best qualified to talk to is minister. The next, but not less important is the family doctor. The secrets they hear are inviolate, protected not only by kindly wisdom, but by the ethics of profession. To such a one would I take my unbearable burden, which would be frightened alone by the fact that someone else knew my trouble besides myself. Or a kind and wise lawyer. All lawyers are not kind or any too wise, but there are still many whose knowledge of human suffering and a real anxiety to see that justice be done transcends the cold facts of law. To one of these should not hesitate to speak upon confidential matters too sacred for other ears.
 A realtive is likely to be preju- diced or biased. What one needs in case of terrific worry or strain, something that might ruin all the years ahead, is clear thinking. I advise the minister first because I have never known one who did not put the humanities before creed, when injustice was ruining a life.
 Seek Trustworthy Advisor
 Too many wives and mothers suffer alone without one iota of help from anyone. They fear to betray confidence, and so they might If they chose a wrong advisor, but to seek sanctuary with one who is capable of silence and at the same time impartially wise, is not betray- ing ones self or anyone else. It may make the entire road easier, and certainly no one is expected to en- dure beyond capacity, or to go on through the years bearing 8 bur- den alone that is @ daily agony.
 Never let money stand in the way of needed advice. Explain your cir cumstanceS. Those to whom money is paramount are not the ones I would recommend. Think we'll and then make your decision. When getting the needed advice, keep your own counsel and act accord. ingly. Perhaps 1t is a woman to whom you would go. No matter. All that is needed is your own good judgment in selecting confldante. one whom you can listen to with trust.

ONE HUMAN DEATH

OANAN AA OAAAAA4N A~A~&A A AA-
 In a recent issue of the Journal of the American Medical associa- tion pr. Fayette 0. Ewing of Alex andria, La, expresses his incredu- lity in respect to rabies. Dr. Ewing has engaged in promoting and breeding dogs for forty years. He has never known or heard of a ham,. dler of dogs or an exhibitor having rabies from being bitten. Many of these handlers who make the cir- cult of dog shows taking care of the dogs exhibited by wealthy owners do not believe there is any such dis- ease as rabies in dogs.
 > Dr. Ewing describes in his con- tribution to the Journal A.M.A.- which was published under the heading Queries and Minor Notes" although most physicians consider the rabies question a major one-"running fits" He says that for years epidemics of running fits" have occurred everywhere in the dog world and the cause is un- explained. He has seen it go through his kennels repeatedly. High bred dogs, under excitation or physical exertion, suddenly run wild, bark ing and yelping violently, seeking some dark corner, hole or cellar in which to hide. Within half an hour the malady subsidies, the animal is dull and stupid and recovers, and in the next day or two the process may be repeated. This is sufficient to inspire the cry of mad dog" and, as Dr. Ewing himself q want it clearly understood puts it-"for the newspapers and the small vested interests to do the rest"
 Even though 1t be poor taste for me to say 1t, I do believe the news papers would seldom do anything about 1t if they did not get the necessary data or stories straight from medical men and health officers who engineer the mad dog scares. The newspapers have to print the news as 1t comes to them.
 Bulletin regularly issued by a metropolitan health department re- gently contained this item:
 Fifty rabid animals and one human death from rabies is the record for the past week. Such a record should stimulate co-opera- ton in our drive to stop this ur- necessary condition"
 The one human death was kept remarkably quiet. in view of the fact that the health officer in the area was anxious to convince me that rabies does happen and had only recently called me to the de- partment to show me rabbit suf- fering with what the laboratory pathologist said was rabies, in. oculated. I am not an expert on rss.es-tf there is such an expert but just an ordinary doctor. But my opinion about this may vitally influence e great many readers. Therefore 1t is the duty of any health officer or any physician who has any evidence which he believes sufficient to show that rabies oc- CUTS in man to give me the oppor. tunity to examine 1t, for I'll never change my mind upon the mere ar- bitrary opinion of any man.
 Arbitrary. and I think highly questionable, was the reply made in the J. A. M. A. to Dr. Ewings contribution. "Only recently" said the omniscient editor in reply, Ian extensive outbreak occurred in Chicago. Many persons were bitten and deaths from human rabies oc- cured" It would have been more accurate to say deaths were as- cribed to rabies"
