Some time ago I told you about my gwearing off on candy and nuts fer two and one-half months, until my birthday. Well, I kept my resolution. After lunch on the natal day, I bought a quarter of a pound of the candy I like best (one full of nuts), ate half of it, was completely satisfled, and not having any one around to give the rest %o, threw it away. It seems a waste to throw away gJod food-doesn’t it? But it is a waste Dlus damage, if you eat food when you dun't heed it, so don't ever hesitate to throw! Well, I've lost the seven pounds I gained during my Winter vacation. (Plus the seven more I had in eycess before I started!) to go through a reducing period, I learn a little something more about the subject. I got several lessons from his session. One was that I could get long without candy and nuts, abso- utely. (By the way, I must state that after my one indulgence in cancy, I've sworn off again for another two months; that is, unless I take them as a dessert &nd count them as part of my meal. I Fealize that they will be taboo for me for the rest of my life, and I might s well get over my desire for them). Another thing I learned is this: It takes five days of fasting to overcome one day of feasting! When say fast- ing, I mean comparative fasting. One Baturday I stepped out, and instead of my usual 1,200, I had 2,800, and part of them as a supper after an evening M ing was four and one-half pounds more than it had been the previous morning! (This, of course, was mostly water re- tention.) Well, it took me just five days, on an average of 900 calories a day (which is quite low for me), (o lose that four and one half! Many of those who feel that there must be something the matter with them because their dieting doesn’t seem to give results, undoubtedly undo in one or two days of the week all the re- ducing that has been done the bal- ance of the week. You see, it makes the average number of calories for the week a maintenance, or even a gaining number, I have a friend who has to watch her weight, and after a day of overe.t.lnf. she takes a cathartic. But! The fol- lowing day she goes up two pounds or S0 and then she won't lose anything further for three or four days. The tissues having been depleted of their mneeded water, hold on to it more than usual after the depletion. that the loss due to a cathartic is not all a true loss. It is certainly not wise to take cathartics habitually, as it ulti- mately will inflame the intestinal tract and do other damage. Another thing I learned: I never have cared for saccharin. To me it is a peculiarily unsatisfactory —sweetness. But I found that if I used a little less than one-half level teaspoonful of sugar (which would be only 10 C) with the saccharin (one-guarter is Abe Martin Says: -— ‘Whether the embassy is wet or dry. the average American in London will be pickled long before it ever occurs to him to call on Ambassador Dawes.

A very f’reny apron, becoming to the wearer, is made of figured lawn, piped in some bright color which occurs in the pattern, or in gray or a neutral tone. Aprons in modernistic mcod are made of plain, thin goods with striking col- ored pockets appliqued. More extreme nes have abstract geometric motifs upon them in contrasting shades. An excel- lent way to use up various pieces of cotton cloth, none of them in itselt large enough for an entire apron, is to combine them- into a square, of which each section is a different shade. This should be large enough so that when it is suspended by one corner, from a position a little above the walst- line of the wearer, the opposite corner will reach to the bottom of the skirt. Streamers from each side secure it when tled in back, and the checker- board effect is very pleasing if the col- ors are well combined. s apron is really nothing more than a large patch- | work square, turned diagonally and tled.

When I take coffee with a mufin or anything unsweetened, I like it as sweet as two level teaspoon- fuls of sugar (50 C) will make it. While reducing, the one muffin I had for breakfast gave me enough frankly car- bohydrate ioods for the day, so I really didn't need this 50 C of sugar.

Only the man who has actually lived through and thought a great deal about the periods of life as he lived them, is really qualified to say what periodicity means. ‘We all live our lives from day to day, conscious that upon rising we are the same individuals who only a few hours before retired to sleep: Take a little larger unit, say a year at a clip, and the memory continuum may be broken into Jjust noticeable sections. Take five years at a clip, and vast differences are r - nized. At 45 they are painfully felt. Many a man at 45 would give his en- tire fortune to roll back the flood of years to 30, while some men at 50 would mortgage the next decade for the privi- lege of going back to 45. The sense of passing time is never so acute as it is between 45 and 50. This consclousness of the passing of time accounts for & good many attach- ments and indulgences which a young- er man cannot understand. The 45-to- 50-year-old man keeps thinking that “§fe is too short.” ~Consequently he will overlook faults and shortcomings in | youth, sometimes to the actual disad- vantage of youth. It's the beginning | of an age of humanitarianism. One’s | deeper nature says: “Now that the in- dividual has begun to go, what can I do for the race?” Somehow, every human virtue has its vice. The man between 45 and 50 often becomes greedy and selfish. Living as he does under the self-engendered no- tion that the world has after all not been quite fair to him, he may and often does refuse to younger men the recognition they deserve. At the same time he will proffer unsought advice pportunity presents itself. Perhaps the most significant cha: acteristic of the mental life of the 46- t0-50-year-old man is his tendency to | take on s0 many maturities in so brief a span of years. It is possible still to teach him; he is still plastic enough to learn. But the big thing is the suc- cessive philosophies that he spins. The jtruly great seekers after and founders iof first principles have been men be- tween 45 and 50. (Copyright, 1029.) ROACH FOOD ' FATAL TO ROACHES for SO years Peterman’s Roach Food roaches from .

(Copyright, 1929.) Everyday Law Cases Is Retaking by Force Money Lost at Gambling Robbery? BY THE COUNSELLOR. Charles Smith played a game of cards with a group of acquaintances and lost the sum of $45. In need of money, Smith demanded that the winner re- pay his loss. When the latter refused, Smith grabbed him and took the money out of his pocket. Later Smith was arrested and was charged with robbery for the offense. At his trial, Smith defended himself on the ground that as a loser in a gambl! transaction he had the right under the law to recover his losses. Accordingly, he contended, while he could be charged with assault he could not be charged with robbery as he had merely retaken his own money. Notwithstanding his defense, Smith was found guilty and sentenced to five years in the penitentiary. He then en- tered an lprell to the higher court. The appellate court reversed the de- cision and dismissed Smith, stating: “By the weight of authority it is not robbery for one who has lost money in gambling to compel by force or threats the return of the money lost. In view of statutes which give to the loser the right to recover his losses, the retaking thereof by force is deemed to be with- out felonious intent. A contrary rule prevalis in Texas. —_— s Peas in Beet Cubes.

Under certain conditions of high temperature and still air thin clothing may keep one more comfortable than nakedness can, by favoring evaporation of moisture. Clothing in contact with the skin should be of absorbent material, for comfort in extremely hot weather. Probably the ideal material is loose meshed woolen for Summer underwear. This may seem strange but it is so. Next comes linen. Finally cotton. Siik is the most uncomfortable material for clothing in very hot weather. Dark colors or black absorb more of the heat rays of sunlight than light colors or white, and hence white or light colored clothing is more comfort- able in the Summer. White reflects much of the heat away from the body. For cooling purposes one layer of heavier material is preferable to two layers of the llsntest possible material, because a second layer of anything adds ‘more insulation and interferes with the dissipation of the body heat. Excepting the question of tection against sunburn, as a general rule the less clothing and one wears at any time the more comfortable he will be in extreme Summer humidity and the healthier he will be at any time of the year. Tight clothing is necessarily hotter than loose clothing simply because it retains the layer of insulating air around the skin.
