WOMA Keeping Well and Keeping Thin BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKE! A great deal is sald and written about eating to keep thin. All sorts of specialized diets are recommended for those who would reduce and those who would continue to be slender. Many of these are guaranteed to do the work. Practically nothing is being sajd about eating to keep well. After all, is not this the great essential? There is little joy in having the wil- supplies. There is not the reason of economy for such meals, but slender- ng. ‘When such a breakfast is followed by a sufficiently nourishing midday meal | and a substantial dinner at night, then no exception to such an early morning meal need be taken. It is when these persons, after faithful work for three | or more hours, resort to lunches that health is discounted and thin figures sought at any price. When at the finish of the day the evening meal is reduced in quantity and kind, danger is in sight. tion as it should without the proper | materials. It is amazing how well it are neither filling nor nourhhlnsglhl( | best of its job. But a day of reckoning shows itself in | that are frayed. Physicians declare il health and nerves that dieting, | that health is cndangered. Just how | the body will react to lack of proper | food cannot be diagnosed. It differs with individuals, with the length of time that an improper diet has been | followed, and with the tendencies of a physique. | " If a person who is dieting begins to | feel miserable in any way, in the stomach, eyes, nerves, with weakness and lassitude, etc., it is well to stop the dieting and eat normally, a mixed and varied diet, such as doctors are say- ing now makes for health, and note if there is not a marked improvement. If so, it may be that a doctor’s bill does not have to be incurred later on. It is better to eat to keep well than to eat to keep thin. (Copyright, 1930.) A Sermon for Today BY REV. JOHN R. GUNN.

The Israelites were journeying through the wilderness toward the promised land of Canaan. They had a long. hard | journey before them. Their way was beset with many difficulties and enemies.

THE EVENING STAR., WASHINGTON, BRIDGE TALKS BY MRS. JOHN MUNCE. JR. The hands, as given last week, for which the leads and plays will be given today are as follows: Dealer holds in spades, A, Q; hearts, 8, 6, 4; diamonds, A K, Q J; clubs, A K, Q J. ‘West, or second hand, spades, J, 7. 6, 3; hearts, 7, 6, 4, 3; clubs, 10, 7, 5,2, | North holds in spades, K, 10, 8, 5. 4, {2; hearts, 7, 5, 2; diamonds, 5, 2; clubs, "holds in ; diamonds, 9, 4 East holds in spades, 9; hearts, A, K, Q J, 10, 3; diamonds, 10, 9, 8; clubs, 8 , 6. 3. The final bid was the same in both auction and contract—namely, pades. To trick No. 1 East leads the king of hearts, declater plays the 4-spot from dummy, West plays the 9-spot and de- | Clarer plays from his own hand the -spot. To trick No, 2 East leads the ace of hearts, the 6-spot is played from dummy, West discards the 3-spot of diamonds and declarer plays the 5-spot. To trick No. 3 East leads the queen of hearts, the 8-spot is played from dummy, West plays the 2-spot of clubs and declarer plays the 7-spot of hearts. To trick No. 4 East leads the 10- spot of diamonds, which seems to be the |best lead, as his partner has shown weakness in_both minor suits by his discards on the second and third tricks. The ace is played from dummy, West plays the 4-spot and declarer piays the 2-spot. To trick No. 5 declarer leads from dummy the ace of spades, West plavs the 3-spot, declarer plays the 2-spot and East plays the 9-spot. To trick No. 6 declarer leads from dummy the queen of spades, West plays the 6-spot, declarer plays the 4-spot flgd y this discard declaver knows that West holds the jack oi :dades &s well as & small one.” He do>s not want to lead trumps from the strong hand up to the {nck. as it would mean that he would lose a trick. He therefore decides to reduce the trumps in his own hand to the same number held by his opponent and to try in this way to make his bid. To trick No. 7, declarer leads from dummy the king of diamonds, West plays the 6-spot of diamonds, declarer plays from his own hand the 5-spot and East plays the 8-spot. To trick No. 8, declarer leads from dummy the queen of diamonds, West plays the 7-spot, and declarer trumps with the 5-spot of spades in his own hand, East playing the 9-spot of dia- monds. This reduces declarer's trumps to_three. To trick No. 9, declarer leads the 4- spot of clubs from his own hand, East plays the 6-spot, the ace is played from dummy and West plays the 5-spot. To trick No. 10, declarer leads from dummy the jack of diamonds, West plays the 7-spot of clubs, declarer trumps in his own hand with the 8-spot of spades, and East plays the 8-spot of clubs. By the trumping of perfectly good tricks, or cards, declarer has been able to reduce his trumps to the num- ber held by his opponent. To trick No. 11, declarer leads from his own hand the 9-spot of clubs, East plays the 3-spot of hearts, declarer takes the trick in dummy with the king of cllug:, and West plays the 10-spot of clubs. To trick No. 12, declarer leads from dummy the queen of clubs, and know- ing that West holds the remaining two trumps out against him, if West plays the 7-spot, and we will say he does, de- clarer will play the 10-spot of spades, trumps, and East plays the 10-spot of hearts. To trick No. 13, declarer now leads his last trump, the king of spades from his own hand, East plays the jack of hearts, declarer plays from dummy the jack of clul;s. and West has to play his jack of spades, This gave declarer his bid of four spades, which gives him game. The fact that the bidder was able to make his bid, go game and win the rubber, Jjustified the bid of four spades with this holding. BY D. C.

Wood to burn, coal, food, fibers like cotton and hemp, all are the products of chlorophyll. On it we depend abso- lutely, for even animal products— leather, meat, silk, milk, eggs, horn, glue, fur, wool, from animals that eat chlo- rophyll or that eat animals that eat chiorophyll. The greenery of Summer leaves is the frail thread on which the existence of man is hung.

EAR MISS DIX—I am a widow of 50, with two sons who are about to be ‘married. What am I to do? I don't mean for support, but for companion- ship? I don't fit in with the young people and, believe me, I spend some mighty lonesome times. Don't say “How about your friends?” 'You can't impose on them all the time. Most of my friends are married and I hate to stick around | with them.” What shall I do? “YOURS IN HOPE.” Answer—There is one thing not to do, and that is not to go and live with your sons when they are married. There are thousands of well-to-do widowed mothers, such as you are, who saddle themselves on their children when they get married just because they are terrorized by the bogey of lonesomeness. And the result is almost inevitable disaster. Don't make this mistake. Believe me, no woman is ever so lonely as the mother is who finds herself an unwanted third in her children’s homes, and who realizes that they drag her around with them not because they want her, but because it is the decent and polite thing to do. I think it is a sensible thing for a woman to break up her home when her children get married and go to live in some nice boarding house or family hotel, where there is always some one to talk to of evenings and where one does not have to eat ghastly meals alone. Of course, & woman naturally misses her own home, but she can take along the dearest of her belongings, and the society she gets compensates for the loss of her own gas range. ‘Travel is also a great resource for the woman who is left alone when her children marry. If you have money enough to become a globe-trotter you can go anywhere under the sun in the parties organized by the numerous tourist agencies which conduct you wherever you want to go, look after you when you are sick and generally carry you about as if you were a babe in arms. These tourist agencles are perfect godsends to the middle-aged and elderly women, who can make the latter years of life full of thrills and interests by going to new places. Of course, you can “see America first,” as the slogan goes, and spend your Winter in agreeable, warm places and your Summers in nice, cool ones, and everywhere you will pick up new and agreeable friends. If you have only a modest amount of money, go into some little business, Keep your own and take a few boarders. Start a little gift shop. Start a flower garden. Raise chickens. Do anything that will keep you busy and occupied. Work 1s the best remedy for loneliness. I started out with & “don't” and I end with another “don’t.” Don’t marry some man who comes along, and of whom you know nothing, just because you are lonely. There are a lot of dead-beat men who prey on lonely widows. (Copyright, 1930.) DoROERT T The patch pocket with envelope flap is sportive and useful. The shorts button at sides.

A woman who ‘“doesn't need” advice probably could not use it if she got it. ‘There is none who knows it all or nearly all. The woman who is aware of the limits of her knowledge is far wiser than the woman who knows more than she, but whe is conceited. Every woman of any means should know when she needs financial advice and where to get it. Too often we turn to friends or relatives who are no more qualified to advise than we ourselves. Because their intentions are good, they try to help. Somehow that spectacle reminds one of the person who can’t swim jumping in to rescue her triend. Once in a while a woman decides to avoid advisers, because of some poor advice she once received. That is like refraining from eating fruit because one once found a worm an apple. There is d advice and there is plenty of advice to be had. There are honest and dishonest advisers, and would-be counselors who have other interests to serve or who have ‘“some- thing to sell.” It would be foolish not to recognize these facts, and they simply emphasize the need of investigating both advisers and advice before acting. Banks and bankers, newspapers and periodicals, bureaus and chambers of sommerce, trust companies and invest- ment counselors—these are some of the sources of dependable and competent advice. Don't take any one man’s or one company's word for anything. Get a few opinions, and if any are adverse, check up on them. Before you in- vest, buy, sell or act in any money matter, be certain that you have had the benefit of trained and experienced minds, and that you have had enough opinions to enable you te make the cor- rect decision.

Anna was_pretty, educated, witly and clever. That her humble birth was not a bar to her becoming Empress oII Russia_was proved by the fact that Peter later married a poor Esthonian servant girl. But Anna was a natural gold-digger. She loved money and travagant gifts and she hadn't the g sense to hide her greed. She used her favor with Peter to push her relatives and friends into paying posts. Withal, she exercised her power too openly. She offended Peter. Her greatest mistake was in trying MENU FOR A DAY.

VARIETIES LUNCH-BOX TREATS In summer you need this inconspicuous sanitary protection Never is Kotex so indispensable as in sum- mer~with clothing reduced to a minimum— and frocks so thin and daiaty. ONE of the important reasons why smart women are so very enthusiastic about Kotex lies in its clever shaping. This is especially desirable in summer, when one so loves to wear those thin, soft frocks. Wear these dainty things every day, if you like. Just be sure that Kotex — no substitute — is your sanitary protection. No outline ever shows through even the thinnest summer dresses, because Kotex is so carefully de- signed. The ends are rounded and tapered. Kotex absorbs 5 times as much as the finest cotton. And even on the warmest days you'll find Kotex retains its light, delicate quality for several hours. This is largely due to the remarkable substance of which it is made— Cellucotton (not cotton) absorbent wadding. Preferred by hospitals Cellucotton is so superior that 85% of our leading hospitals use it in preference to fine surgical cotton. Kotex deodorizes—so appreci- ated in summer.
