illumination.
Londoners paraded the brightly
lighted streets in vast numbers,
many of them dancing arm in arm
and singing. 1t was the first time
that many OF the capitals thous.
ands of children ever had seen the
city fully lighted.

 The correspondent lost sixty pounds in 2i weeks, or not quite three pounds c week. That is plen' ty fast enough for any one to res duce, and for most persons one oE two pounds c week is better. Re- member, you didn't accumulate the excess faster than Q pound c week or more likely Q pound Q month. ll will 20 as easily aS it came, # only you keep your head and don't fall for the Hollywood hokurn.
 Persons with glandular obesity will find special chapters on tho subject in the booklet Rules foi Reducing" (for copy send twenty five cents and staniper self ad' dressed envelope). There is de' scription of tho basal temperature method of regulating the use oi thyroid extract, and Q chapter tell' ing how ono with hypopituitaTS obesity may reduce on four squart meals Q day.
