Another turkey prize comes

Mrs. Cogswell is building an in

Mrs. Cogswell is believed to be
the only Race woman in the entire
Northwest who makes speciality
of raising turkeys. Many patrons
demand Cogswell turkeys said Mr..

All the vegetables and meats
used at the Cooking School were
donated by the Madison st. Mar
ket, 1925 East Madison. This mar

There are three fundamental
principles of reducing which can
not be escaped. There are the
chronological, the metabolical, and
the psychological.
The Chronological do not be-
lieve any course in reducing is safe
OF practical unless it is planned to
last at least three weeks. 1t has
been found that if you go on a re-
ducing diet for a few days, you
do not lose much because of water
retention. At the end of zen or
twelve days, and again at about
twenty-one days the tissues let go
the water and the real reduction
occurs.
Metabolical-All the protective
elements of food-proteins, vita
Minis and minerals must be re-
duced.
Psychological-You must have
persuaded yourself that you want
to reduce enough to make the sac-
rifces. 1t is by nc means easy.
But when you begin to get results
you will be rewarded. Don't cheat.
A medical colleague breaks into
song thus:
If carte de jour your taste should
lure
To foods that make you fret
Your belly gives the relatives
Away by what you ct.
Here is the first diet list. 1t is
arranged to cover the first weeks
meals, listing optional choices of
foods for each day.
Breakfast
ANY kind of fruit-orange, or
ange juice, grapefruit, melon,
c~antaloupe, prunes without
cream or sugar. Allow about so
calories. Valuable for Nitamin
C content and roughage for the
bowels.)
Black coffee, or glass milk.
Lunch
Clear soup-No allowance for
Galleries required.
Choice of: Salad, meat or vege-
table sandwich with butter; cot
tage cheese.
Glass milk (if you did not have
one at b~reakfast).
Black coffee or tea with lemon.
Dessert: Banana sliced with milk;
or any kind Of g~elatine dessert.

CHAPTER

1T WAS MAY, the end of Nav.
two months after Eric's show
closed, and Halle Adams still was
trying to find a way of retrench-
ing that would make it possible to
make both ends meet. The diff
Guilty was that there was only n
end, and that was the one marked
demand. The supply was practi-
cally nil.
We'll get rid of Pearl and try
to sublet the apartment rented. We
may even make a little profit on it
which we al use for our creditors.
We only owe a little over five hun
drcd dollars. Wen move into an
other place and stop giving parties.
II you can get thirty-five every
week from the soap show'-Erio
had landed a part, without con-
tract, on a morning radio serial
well be able to 1--we on it until YOU
get another good role"
1t had seemed perfectly reason
able to expect that Hallie's plan
would work out. But the first large
ltem-the rental on the apartment
doomed larger and more ominous
as time went by. For there were no
responses to their advertisement in
the Times. Everybody was getting
rid of apartments, not renting
them. There was no way of break
ing the lease.
Pearl had departed, leaving
Halle to erapple with household
talks that were no longer as simple
as they had been when her house
hold possessions were new. But. at
least, there was little or no enter
t. ming. To all appearances, the
Alamses, "at liberty and no
longer dispensing expensive hospi-
tality, might have departed for
parts unknown.
There r sure to be lots of
radio parts for me-" Eric predicted
confidently after getting the serial
role. and they pay big money"
But after those three times,
Eric's role had no longer been in
the show. In the next two months,
ne got five radio jobs. The top one
paid him $50 for a single perform
ance, the lowest n paid $40.
They managed to pay rent and
have sufficient food. There was
never quite a dollar left when Eric
got the job that always. somehow,
turned up. But it wasn't a very
merry existence.
There was, Of course, Hallie's
fifteen hundred left in the bank in
Worburn, but Eric never men
toned it, and Halle loved him for
1t. She would gladly have sent for
1t, but caution made her hold back
until they were without that last
dollar.

CHAPTER FOTPTEFN

THERE WE'RE two letters for
Halle in January. There was a
Warmly-Woraed answer TO her note
to winthrop, thanking her for her
letter and wishing them both a
happy New Year. And there was \
formal note from her mother, brief
ly thanking her for the Christmas
gift, saying that she was glad she
was happy and signed, not Mum
ME" but Ann Singleton" It was
infinitely more chilling to Halle
than the icy-month out-of-doogg.
1t was a cold and bitter winter
The unemployed walked the streets
of cities and towns alike. The bank
moratorium had put a stop t. the
widespread closing of banks. but
the tragic aftermath of the tinan-
cial collapse of banking institutions
throughout the land was everv-
where evident. Except, apparently,
to the little group which made W
Eric and Hallie's world. For them.
there existed only the sphere of
their little world. And there, it was
all right-for those who were
working.
January, February and March
were like the three months that
preceded them for the young
Adamses. The apartment cchoc.!

tivated voices. The Come in for

ately accepted.
Pearl complained that the laun-
dry had made it necessary to buy
new household linens. Halle or
dered them by telephone, adding,
without even thinking about it,
that they We're to be charged.
The crimson lounge needed 4 sli1
oFe II 1t was to be protected
against the assault of constant
party use, but Halle needed some
new spring clothes. Just a couple
of little dresses and a coat and a
hat or two. She bought them at a
smart shop whore Glory and Chris
tine bought their clothes and where
credit was offered on a silver sal
Yer.
Halle took the unpaid bills out
of the pigeon hole in her desk and
thrust them into a drawer. She
didn't like looking at them, and
there wasn't enough room for them
anyway.
She vas glad she'd bought the
bottle green coat with the dashing
green and raspberry print the day
She met Sheiia Sherman.
