Blame YOUR
LIVER If

II your liver doesn't secrete 20 to 80
ounces Of bile eUsrv day into your intes-
tines-constipation with its headaches,

And what finer aid could one desire than

successfully for years by DR.. F. M.
Edwards for treating his patients for
constipation and sluggish liver bile.
Olive Tablets are unsurpassed in ef-

SEPTEMBER Is the month when We
get most conscious Of our bulges!
And in our desire to be sylphlike, 20
We may set OF new clothes in allur.ng
manner. we are tempted to follow any
method to reduce quickly!
Therein lies the reason for the ap-
palling number Of emaciated or ill
women who have diverted from COM
mon sense just to be fashionable!
In order to answer many inquiries
about dieting and weight reducing.
wish to quote the latest report Of the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Co., which
supervised 4 study Of obesity.
1T is dangerous to use commercial
obesity cures which promise to effect
reduction without diet or exercise.
Such cures have no value unless HARM
full drugs are used In their manufac-
ture. sss
"Glandular extracts, particularly
those from the thyroid gland, and
drugs which have q similar effect on
the body. should be used only under
the constant guidance Of q physician"
FIRST: A thorough physical exam
nation by . physician prior to all ef-
forts at weight reduction - to be
sure overweight is not accompanied or
caused by any serious disease Of the
heart, kidneys, blood vessels or other
organs. The possible presence Of dia-
betes, anemia. or glandular insufi-
cheney should be carefully determined.
Second: The determination Of the
amount Of overweight and the approx.
mate length Of time in which 1t can
be eliminated. A moderate steady loss
is better than . large quick one. One
and one-haf to two pounds . week Is
usually . sufncient loss
Third: The planning Of . diet
which will be adequate to protect
health and at the same time result
In q loss Of weight.
Fourth: Eating three meals . day
at regular times.
Fifth: Exercise suitable for each
person, as suggested by the doctor.

the results Of the program"
The report goes on to warn children
and young people to take precaution
in reducing their weight as "unwise
limitation Of food may result in serious
harm. As poor nutrition Is one
Of the factors involved in . decrease
OF the body's resistance to disease,
young people ought never to take the
risk Of reducing on their own respon.
sibility."
But as there are dangers in over
weight the possibility of developing |
diabetes and diseases Of the heart and

reducing 80 that participation in nor
NAL activities and exercise may not be

No Reason to Send

Any Flowers.
BY EMILY POST.

nEAE MRS. POST: Our card club

ladies was given = very pretty corsage.
One member was In the hospital, 80 I,
as head Of the committee in charge,
sent flowers instead of the corsage to
her at the hospital. Another member
simply sent a telephone message half
an hour before the party to say she
would not be present She gave no
explanation. considered this shabby
way to act, and 1t was just by lucky
chance that was able to flll her place.
I Gid not send this member her cor
sage, but gave 1t to the substitute.
have been criticized now because, of
course, this money for flowers came
out OF the treasury and some of the
members think every one should have
had flowers regardless of circum-
stances.
Answer: From what you tell me. it
seems to me that you were entirely
right. 1t was kind and thoughtful as
well as right to send the flowers to
the member in the hospital. But I
can see no possible reason why one
who gave out at the last minute should
have had flowers sent to her-even
though she contributed, with the other
members, to them I think there is
every reason why flowers should have
been given to the guest who courteous
ly came as her substitute.
YEAR MRS. POST: A very we'll
known speaker has consented to
speak to our club, This man has
spent q good many summers in this
town and must feel keen interest in
whatever We do to better the civic
spirit here. I am explaining this be-
cause 1t is undoubtedly why he Is
not asking any money for his appear
ance. His fee is usually considerable
amount, I am sure. We feel, however,
that an expression Of appreciation by
the committee on behalf of all of us
Is not enough for his generous contri-
button, and we would like to know
what we might do further than this.
Perhaps there is some customary ac-
knowledgement that is usually made
when no fee Is asked.
Answer: It is not necessary to do
anything further than to write a
letter of thanks. telling how much
every one enjoyed his talk and how
grateful the committee is to him for
his generosity.

washed with soap and water, the

Ny keiehbor Soys:

September is one OF the best
months Of the year for making a
new lawn, always provided there
Is plenty of rain. With enough
moisture in the soil, the grass will
get a fine start before winter
comes in, and commence to grow
very quickly in the spring. It is
necessary, however. to have q To-
cation where the drainage is good,
for ice freezing over the lawn will
kill out the grass. Oftentimes full
success in the making of q lawn
can be obtained only when q few
tile drains have been laid to carry
OH the surplus moisture below the
surface. This is not nearly as ex-
pensive q practice as many anna
teurs suppose. and often gives
surprising results.
Salt may be used to remove
SCOT from heating apparatus.
Heat 2 pounds Of medium grade
salt (barrel salt preferred) to re-
move all moisture. Then scatter
1t on q bed Of red-hot Goals In
the fire bowl Of the stove or fur
mace. Open all drafts and let 1t
burn. The fumes from the salt
will destroy carbon in the SCOT,
leaving . fine white ash which
will be carried away by the
natural draft of the chimney.
In cooking pork chops. rub
skillet first with . cut Glove Of
garlic. This does not give . gar
lie flavor, but, instead, it gives
faint suspicion Of something
different which cannot be de-
fined.
Soak broccoli well in water be-
fore cooking. II stalks are tough,
pare them and cook IS to 20 min
utes or until tender. Serve with
butter or hollandaise sauce.
