CHICAGD WONEN RE REDUCIG WEGHT Chicago, May 4—Tat persons all over the United States are . watching with t interest the sixty-day experiment in reducing weight which is ‘being .con- igcted hére vnder the supervision of Dr. John Elll Robertson, city health com- missioner. Inquiries . already received here sugiest the probability that if the Chicago experiment is successful it. may be tried in other communities. Success reported in the first -week, when the average welght of the twenty- four women composing the first class was reduced by 3.9 pounds, has prompted the organization of other classes in this city and altogether more than 200 . persons here are trying to see how rapidly they s2n regain their youthful figures. y Tne leaders of the fat elimination con- test here aver that the experiment can te tried by anyone suffering from a’sur- plus of averdupois. Reasonable exercise and a strictly controlled diet constituté two of the chiet feature of the Chicago sgperiment. The daily menus of the reducing class are prepared by Miss Ruth Wilbar of the health commissioner’s trainirfg school for nurses, who believes this supervision ot diet to b eessential to success, Those ambitious to become slim are permitted to have lean meat but once a day, and potatoes are forbidden. 1If one is hungry between meals, Miss Wilbar suggests that a zlass of water will satisfy that “empty teeling.” R Hire is a typieal menu prepared by Miss Wilbar for one day:. Breakfast—One medium apple, one egg. sue slice of toast, one cup of coffee with spe and a half tablespoons of skimmed ik instead of cream. . 10.30 a. m.—One-half cup of bouillon with one crcaker. Luncheon—Medium serving of lean cold roast beef, two thin slices of rye bread, lettuce and cottage cheese salad, two and sne-half tablespoons of French dressing, tea wit hlemon. one cracker. Dinner—Large eerving of boiled -cod with lemon, large serving of plain cauli- A BRI el R A Lo S ML by Lo d ot e flower, one scant teaspoon of butter, let- tuce #alad or celery; one-half an orange; blaci: goffee.” | * .10.30 'p. m.—One-half cup hot skim wilk. hee oK Eagh of the women is expected to work an ‘hour a.day in her garden—il she has a garden—otherwise to take long walks and setting up.exerctises. N Daily the women report by telephone and .Teceive imstructions, - including a diet for'the folldwing day. On Thursday of pach week they report at. the city hall and are weighed, and the week's loss— or gain—recorded on their charts. +The twenty-four women in the first class. averagéd in weight'at the start of ‘the' experiment ~ 201.66 pounds, 65.83 pounds more than their average normal weight, and Dr. Robertson says he. ex- pects to’ taks: approximately 40 of those pounds from each Woman. The- leader of the class is Mrs. Nellie Leonard, age 32, a typist,”who tipped the scales at 323 pounds, but Jlost. eight pounds in thé first seven days. Dr. Rob- ertson figured her normal weight at 141 pounds. . Miss Catherine Scott, age 28, also a typist, is the “haby of the class.” She weighed in at 166 1.2 and her normal weight was calculated at 121. Miss Scott stands just a half inch above five feet. The anti-fat crusade is a serious ven- ture, Dr. Robertson says, aimed to point the dangers and discomforts of excess weight and show the ease with which it can be eleminated. - PENDLETON HILL Mrs. J.

JEWETT CITY Pachaug Grange is to initiate a class of eleven, Thursday evening. The grange has voted to hold a fair on a large scale the coming fall. At the May meeting of the board of borough government' Monday evening, re- ports were heard from the committee relative to the fire ruins nuiSance on Rallroad #&venue and the reports from the hose house. . L Thomas McBroome and John Godek asked permission to build garages. One .of the most important matters ever presented to the board for consid- eration and action was presented in a carefully prepared plan from Foreman Wakeley of the A. A Young Jr. Hose & Ladder: Co. No. 1; detailing at length a plan of fire alarm, whereby a whistle blast scheme, to be blown on a siren, will convey at. once the information as to what part of the borough the fire is located. The Ashland Cotton company has given the project a fine start in that it offers to permit the siren to be in- stalled at tne mill boiler rooms where at all times of the day or night a man will be on duty ready to blow the alarm in accordance with the schedule and at a moment's notice to him by telephone or otherwise. From the time when the firé company was organized: it has been an institution for any town to be proud of and Griswold is. Many times have the firemen's efforts saved thousands of dol- lars worth of valuable property, and at not a few fires like the hotel and the baby clothes are.

WESTMINSTER “There make ready,” Luke 22: 12, the need of preparation, which includes self- examination and ‘meditation, is essential to the right observance of the memorial of Himself, instituted by Christ, now called the ‘communion or sacrament of the Lord's ‘supper.
