Perhaps you could take a part-time po- sition which will give you more time. Your girl friend should weigh between 125 and 130 pounds. You may be a few pounds lighter or heavier. depending upon the general build, bony structure and muscle development. Some people who are of the slim, race-horse type weigh less than others of the same age and height who are built on a heavier plan. There is an average weight chart for girls and women of different ages, yet it does not mean that all must con- form to this standard in order to % considered normal. A variation of 1 or 15 pounds may be allowed below or above the standard weight chart for a given age and height, depending upon the individual case.

The new health diet. & corrective, protective and incidentally a reduction Tegimen has many commendable fea- | tures, even in this day of frenzied | dieting, but then it is not without some drawbacks, t00, and the main draw- back is that it hails from the land of queer cults and freak healing systems. When a doctor of San Francisco pre- sented this admirable eating plan to the medical profession last Summer, the assembled doctors of the country seemed to find no serious fault with the dieta; itself, but they found fault with Cali- fornia. One of them who voiced the matter clearly in discussing the paper, | is L-?mu a California physician, He | L *the dietary fads are carried to such | an extreme that they are taking the| place of correct clinical diagnosis and | physical examination. If we are swayed by catchwords and slogans and dietary methods, 1t is about time to do a big housecleaning. The question of acidosis being precipitated by diets is one which has been especially harm- ful. There is a tremendous propa- ganda, especially in California, which is entirely exgl:lted by commercial in- , and the facts which are sup- porting this whole structure are totally unconvincing.” Hum! The dangerous “18-day diet” ‘They say that chap’s always thinkin’ about his stomach and I notice it emanated from California and from the :;ry hub of hokum—the Hollywood sec- on. The diet, however, was suggested for | & definite purpose and on what would seem good grounds. The doctor called | ;tlent‘lon ‘g‘e:'he fact ‘st{lml: the usual merican Ty cons largely of meat, bread, tea or coffee and lw’eeu or carbohydrates, containing barely 12 per cent of protdctive foods—items that provide vitamins. His corrective diet contains 70 per cent or more of pro- tective foods. Further, he maintained Ty |that the usual American dietary con- duces to early degenerative disease, such as simple degenerative arthritis, so com- mon in middle life; arteriosclerosis, “indigestion,” high blood pressure, headaches, and so on. The San’ Fran- cisco author gave technical data from 501 case histories, in most of which the corrective diet had proved remarkably beneficial. For one instance, of 35 pa- tients with hypertension (hig: hlood pressure) 18 had an average reduction of 31 mm. in blood pressure on the new health diet; and for another, more than two-thirds of 55 patients whose chief complaint was “indigestion” were much ldr::gmved or completely relieved by the Other physicians from as far back East as Tllinols and Minnesota agreed that such a diet as suggested might be :lestlnble in place of the usual family’s et. I believe the author has given mal- nourished, overfed America at least the outline of a good health diet, even if he does favor foods grown in his own land. (Copyright, 1930.) 3 Cabbage Relish.

What ywly? pop sed, and I sed Kind of funny. Not so loud, pop sed. And heé look- jed around to ste if ma was coming, saying, As a matter of cold fact, Im afraid they do. G, all of them? T sed. Some even more than others, pop sed. Well is that the way I looked when I was new, and is that the way you did, pop? I sed, and he sed, I dont remem- ber myself very cleerly, but you cer- teny did. Well then G, gosh, pop, why do ladies look rite at them'the way they do and act as if they was the most bewtiful marvelliss looking things they ever saw? I sed, and pop sed, Ah, why indeed. Because they reely bleeve it themselves, thats the strange reason, he sed. Well G wizz pop, how can they? I sed, and pop sed, Thats one of the many things no man has ever found out. They dont seem able to help it, thats tho best explination I can give you, so the ony thing we can do is to leeve them in their blissful ignorants. No man who is a gentleman would ever disillusion a lady by pointing out her mistake while she is crowing over some homely little lump of humanity as though it was a sunset or a moonrise. I hope you behaved like a gentleman { this afternoon, he sed. Sure, I did, G wizz I dident say any- thing, I sed, and pop sed, Im proud of you. We must never let them know that we even sispect, he sed. ‘Wich just then ma came in and start- ed to tell pop about the baby looking even more bewtiful than it did yestid- day, and me and pop just looked at each other without even winking. Today in Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. February 25, 1861.—President-elect Lincoln received several gentlemen In' his apartment in Willard's Hotel this morning, but”he remained invisible to all except those with whom he had special engagements. At 2 o'clock this afternoon he received a few more visit- ors by appointment. Among those who called on him dur- ing the day were Mr. Seward, Gen. Cass and ladies, Hon. Preston King, Senator Doolittle, Vice President Breckinridge, Gov. Powell of Kentucky, Commodore Spaulding and several other persons of prominence, President Buchanan called on Mr. Lincoln between noon and 1 o'clock. The President and the Preaident-e]ect{ remained chatting together for about 15 minutes. A throng of ladies called on Mrs. | Lincoln and paid their respects. Mrs. Lincoln held quite a levee, lasting until | about 2 o'clock this afternoon, | A rumor was started by correspond- ents of Baltimore newspapers that Mr. | Lincoln was to hold a public reception | between noon and 1 o'clock, and crowds | of persons came to the hotel to see him, | only to meet with disappointment. The | ojected serenade to Mr. Lincoln, which | prevented Saturday night by the rain, has been again postponed at his own request. Mayor Berret of Washington City was asked this morning for a copy of the speech he would have delivered to Mr., Lincoln at the train of cars, wel- coming him to the city, if the rec tion ceremonies had not been so un- ceremondously nipped in the bud by Mr. Lincoln’s unheralded early arrival Saturday morning (day before yester- day). Mayor Berret laughingly replied that he would comply with this request with pleasure, if Mr. Richard Wallach would furnish his draught of the route- program that Mr. Lincoln would have followed, if the welcoming ceremonies and the procession had taken place as proposed. There is still much mystery about Mr. Lincoln's change of plans on his journey to Washington. It appears that he did not proceed direct from Harrisburg, Pa., by way of the Northern Central Rail- road, as at first was intended, but came by way of Philadelphia. Allan Pinkerton, the famous Chicago detective, is understood to have dis- covered a plot to assassinate Mr, Lincoln on his journey from Harrisburg to Washington. Upon the strongest solici- tation of his friends and military men, Mr, Lincoln thereupon agreed to a change in the plans for his journey. He returned by special train from Harrisburg to Philadelphia and caught a sleeper out of the latter city, unknown to the public. He passed from one rail- road station to the other in Baltimore in the dead of night and boarded a train for Washington with equal secrecy. ‘This explains why he arrived | " | economical advantages. BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN Saving Up to Buy. “Saving up to buy” is a habit handed |down from chiidhood. As children when we couldn't get what we wished we were generally told to “save up for Perhaps that experience taught thrift to some of us, self-denial for an end to others, but the experience was a mixed blessing. “Saving up to buy” has its_economical disadvantages. It encourages savers to accumulate funds for a purpose which may not be at all practical. For example, a man who saves to buy a car, and then dis- covers he can't afford to run it, has wasted money. In practice, that hap- pens with many things, and the habit instead of teaching thrift teaches im- providence. ‘When one needs something essential to life, and conserves one's earnings or income to acquire it, “saving up to buy” |is serving a practical end. Before one begins, however, to store money for any purpose, examine the purpose of its If it is not worth while in itself, save, but save to have a larger competence.

Bankers have said that saving for anything should be encouraged because of the habit it forms. Yet it is ques- tionable whether saving for an extrava- gance or a luxury is not a poor habit to form in any instance. It has bne recommendation—as money accumu- lates, many who have saved to spend realize the advantages of capital in re- serve and they save to store, Parents have it in their power to teach children that saving for an ex- travagance is but another way of being extravagant. They should be taught to save for things that are necessary to happiness, rather than things which satisfy passing whims or desires. No| figure is more tragic than the man or| woman who hides reeds behind the cloak of some dearly-bought luxury. Save to buy assuredly, if the object of your saving is a worthy and practical one. Your Baby and Mine , BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. Miracles of behavior can be accom- plished by suggestions that fail to ma- terialize when only commands are used. “Go on out doors and play like a good boy,” says mother persuasively. | She has pulled on leggins, tugged at| rubbers, buttoned him into coat and | mittens and fastened his cap under his chim. All ready for a nice long play outdoors. And in 5 minutes he is back, pressing his nose against the door and screaming to be let in. “Play with your toys, darling,” his | mother admonishes. “Run your wagon | up and down.” Nothing helps. Eventually she has to let him in, fearful that the neighbors will think she is murdering him. And he should be_outdoors. The child who plays alone and al- ways in the presence of his mother is seldom happy when sent outdoors alone. If he is small he has no ingenuity and being set down in the presence of his toys doesn’t mspire him to anything but tears. The very idea of being shut out of the house is enough to sour him on the whole proposition. But suggestions accomplish miracles. Give him or her a broom and tell him he'is to play he is mother’s helper. It he is too young for a large size broom give him a play size one and @ dust pan to match. Ask him to sweep the porch for you, or the walk, and bring you the dust in the pan. What child but loves to sweep? If he wants to come in when this task is finished, let him. Never make staying outdoors hateful to him. But be ingenious about thinking up tasks that he may accompiish for you. If his own toys are in plain sight on the porch the idea may strike him to use them. He will act upon his own idea much more quickly than he would upon a command from mother, . There are all manner of suggestions for almost every situation in the da: “When your cereal is gone you c: wash the plate and spoon for mother.” “Let’s play you are a big worm and have to crawl upstairs to your little bed under a leaf.” “Little wren, let's hop outdoors, saying ‘peep, peep'.” Try it. It sounds silly, but the truth is that almost anything can’ be accom- plished by keeping what seems disagree~ able to the child in the background and suggesting actions that will be pleasant and amusing. ‘There are stories which one tells the child which suggest the kind of be- havior we want him to imitate. And if he thinks of this imitation himself, | how much more fun. When Danny re- members that Bertle in the story jumped up’ and gave his grandmother his chair, he tries it too when grandma comes. And grandmother mustn’t for- get to say just as in the story, “How nice of you to remember that grandma likes this chair.” It takes all the joy out of it for mother to say: “Danny, give your grandmother your chair!” Suggestions, suggestions, all day long, furnish oil to take the creak out of hard tasks and add color to cold reality. Mothers ought to keep a stock of sug- gestions on hand and constantly replen- ish them. L Coffee Custard.
