Much Worry and Too Much Conversation. By Marguerite Mooers Marshall Copyright, 1914. by The Prem Pubtishing Oo, (The New York Drening World.) HIN persons need reforming, too. Dr. Lulu Hunt Peters issues this | warning to the meagre and wizened in her cheerful dnd practical little book, “Diet and Health, probably, there are much of the book opens -the tale, he ag = said anything better than that. “When you wo.;y necdlessly notice how tense your muscles are, You are exercising them all of the time and using hundreds of calories of energy. You raise your blood pres- sure, the internal socretory glands may overact and thus many more calories are used. The internal secro- tions 4d not flow ao freely, you have indigestion and do not assimilate your food, and thns hundreds more calories are lost. It certainly is im- possible to gain unless your food is assimilated, “Bo the first thing you have to Jearg is this mental control and to re- lax. “Beoond, it ts very Important to «have enough sleep. Don't forget the fresh air, “Third, great muscular exertion should be avoided, but the setting-up exercises, if begun with moderation and increased gradually, wi) un- doubtedly stimulate the appetite and help the body functions to be better Performed. * “Fourth, since food,is the only ‘source of body substance, you must gradually train your stomach so that it ean care for engugh food to not only supply your bodily energy, but to leave @ little excess to be stored as fat, . “If you have a small appetite your stomach is undoubtedly contracted, and you must gradually add to the amount you have been efting, even though it may cause some distress, ‘until you have @laciplined it so that it can handle what you need without distress, The stomach is a muscular “ organ and can be trained and exer- cised somewhat as other organs can, You will not have much appetite ut first. but it will develop.” ‘Then reverse the process of the stout person who is trying to reduce.

Gradually increase your butter, cream, sugar, chocolate and so forth, as they are very high in food value, Here are some of the things you can take to add to your fuel weight: “A glass of milk, hot or cold, taken between meals and beforo retiring, will add about 500 calories, “Cream sauce on your vegetables will add to their value. “Codliver oil, or olive oll, or cream, begun in small doses and gradually increased, “One malted milk, made with milk; syrup, egg, ice cream, whipped cream and the malted milk, will add about 500 calories,” . Tho thin person should masticate her food thoroughly and have her teeth X-rayed, according to the doc- tor, And her jast recommendation is: “Don't talk so much, See if you can't leave out two-thirds of the to- tally unimportant, uninteresting de- tails, A.tremend®us amount of en- ergy is used in talking, “Tam taking tt for granted,” con cludes Dr, Peters, “that you are dr ganically sound, that your scientific, educated physician hag said there Is) nothing the matter with you exc: t! perhaps your ‘nervous’ disposition. All right, relax and watch yourself get into the class of the plumptically adequate, “And if you don'{ succeed after a faithful trial, take the milk cure, with its three to six weeks’ absolute rest.” “Diet and Health, With Key to the Calories" is published by the Reilly, & Britton Co, ot all?

I am told that the youthful Mr, Steel happened to be airing his voice at the Lambs’ ‘Club one day when some one took |bim by the ear and led him to the office of Elliott, Comstock & Gest, who don't mind in the least being } classed with Columbus, 1 At any rate, this rising young | tenor astonished the little world to which he found his way last night. | He did not arrive until the last act | was headed toward the happy ending that is reached even tn musical com- edy, and then, in the language of Broadway, he topped the show.” This newcomer has everything to |tearn go far as acting is concerned, but his voice is his own, and if he takes good care of it there's no tell- ‘ing bow many years he may live in tho spotlight, ‘In spite of what I've said, however, you may rest assured he is not the whole show at ‘the | Casino, | “Phe Maid of the Mountains” ts | Picturesque, romantic and melodious, | with William Coyrtenay acting a | brigand chief so well that he gives a jdramatic quality to the performance of rare value. With and without a (clean shave, Mr. Courtenay carried off his role in such a dashing, forceful manner that he, dominated every ‘scene in which he figured hand- | somely, Though songless, he never ‘failed to be at concert pitch in his { acting. . By way of adding to the beauty of the mountainous country discovered by the English author of the play, Sidonte Espero looked like an olive edition of Elsie Janis and made her charm felt, in spite of the fact that she was handicapped with the un- | sympathetic role of a jealous woman ! until the last act landed her safely in the arms of the philandering brigand jchief, She sang like a lark and with E it'may have on slackers, “Over Here,” the play by Oliver D. | Bailey at the Fulton Theatre, isn't | worthy of serious consideration. | Interest .is stimulated for a time \ by a far-fetched plan of ‘supposedly German plotters to seize the house of a man who appears to have invented ja contrivance that may help the Al- jles to win the war. ‘But when It , transpires that the German-Amerl- cans engaged in this dark affair are ‘merely aiding the head of the house- XCHPT forthe posstble influence When Conduct | PERAmaoL problem of carrying baby by invent perambulator,” and now the plan h: NEW PLAYS “Maid of the Mountains” Picturesque and Melodious BY CHARLES DARNTON* T'S very pleasant from time te time to have Canadian army chaps knock- & sossn Tore which baby’would pronounce, it he could talk, far better than the “ to going to the front and giving the British a boost over Fritz’s top they don't mind doing a bit for Broad- a For example, Lieut.

As Gov- ernor Malona’s daughter, who, like her mother, was always ready to make it pleasant for strangers, Evelyn Eger- ton was attractive enough to turn . any man’s mind overnight. Bert Clark behaved in the amusing manner of English comedians who have now neglected their studies In Ahe school of pantomime, and William Danforth successfully followed stage traditions, as the comic Governor. No one could blame him for cocking his eye at pretty Miriam Doyle. Evidently the chorus ladies were chosen with an ear to their voices instead of an eye to their beauty. But they sang well, and that able wielder of the baton, John McGhie, had them thoroughly in hand. Girls aside, ‘The Maid of the Moun- tains” is beautifully staged, always tuneful and far above the common level of Broadway musical plays. “Over Here” Ridiculous Melodrama hold to make his indifferent son real- ize he has fighting Blood in hts veina, the play becomes nothing more than ridiculous melodrama, It doesn’t matter thatthe son of a German ts also made to seo his duty to the country in which he lives, The whole affair is farcical.
