This 'IS as- certained by the use of an apparatus especially made to find out the heat values which the different kinds of food possess. - a calorie is not heat. It is not food. It is simply a unit of measure. We want to know then, how many calories ot food we should have each • day, to brlug on this reduction in •;weight. In next weeks' article we will ex- plain more fully how many calories are allowable and still reduce. .just now it is enough to know that 1200 ealories per day should reduce the average 'person about 2 pounds each week. 20 11 causes more loss.of weight than two pounds add a few calories, and if youalo not rpcluce on 1200 try 1000 caloriee. Do not try to reduce any more than two, or at the very most three pounds per week, under under a doctor's care. This does not apply to, the first week or so, when you may note a drop of 4 or 5 lbe. or even 6 lbs. This is the easiest fat to get rid of since it is not quite formed as yet and is watery in texture. As you progress you will find yourself reduce about two pounds per week. All foods have calories, some kinds having many more calories than oth- ers. We over -weights want ' to know how we can eat only 1200 calories a day and still not have to endure the gnawing pangs of hunger which break dowu our resolutions to reduce. There is a way. But first there are two important principles to remember when trying to reduce. fa 1. We must cut down on the calories of food we usually eat. The number of calories must be decreased until It supplies less than the amount of energy fuel needed. 2, We must increase the energy ex- pendlture by exercise, but (and this is important), we meet not eat more calories with the Wormed exercise. The reward comes when. we find the reducing is accomplished because we refrained from eating enough high Calorled foods to provide for that ex- ercise, so the body draws on the sm, plus fat for fuel to supply the energy and heat needed. We took longer :walks, perhaps, or worked harder he our imams, but when we were hungry we ate something satistying but low In calories.

III, HIS PLEADING WITH ISRAEL,..4:4- 13; 5:1-27, • INTRODUCTION—The home of Amos was. south of Jerusalem in the king- dom of Judah, in the wild mo•orlands bordering closely upon that ragged Judean wilderriess which drops steep- ly down to th& western shore of the Dead Sea. There in tho eighth cen- tury before Christ, in the reign of Jeroboam If. of Israel, and Uzziah of Judah (2 Kings .14: 23; 15: 7), he spent the early years of his life. Whatever wealth he had came from his flocks . of fine -wooled eheep and from the coarse 'fruit of his sycamore -orchards (1: 1; 7: 14). His educe - Kon he must have received from the visits of itinerant prophets ' who taught the people on new moon days and sabbaths (compare 2 Kings 4: 22-23). In one famous passage of -his book he speaks of the prophets as raised up by God (2:11), and in an- other he compares the taking away of their teaching with a ft mine, Se 11-13. But much of the preparation of mind and heart by which he was .equipped and fitted for his task came, no doubt, from the free, healthful, open air life of his calling. His book abounds in references to that life, and in figures dran from the surround- ings of his country home in Tekoa— the lion's roar, the bear, the serpent, the invading',arias of robbers from the neighboring wilderness, tl.e warn- ing trumpet blast from the walls of the town summoning the people in the fields to their 'ale shelter. the shep- herd's care for his flock, the fowler, the fisherman, the occasional draught and conseauent famine, the .locuat swarm, and the river in flood in the rainy season. I. AMOS THE 01410, 1:1; 3 :1-8 ; 7:10-1.2. Very little is told us of the prophet's early Life. The historical situation is that of the first half of the eighth century, about B.C. 760-750.. , There had been a peried of com- parative peace after the long drawn out Syr;an wars of the previous cen- tury, and the two little kingdoms of Israel and Judah were fairly prosper- ous. levee' had never before been as rich and powerful.. But with grow- ing wealth went pride and cruelty, drunkenness -nd crime, oppression and enslavement of the root:. All this Amos sa's and hated. Though a man of Judah, he carried his stirring mes- sages of warnims and denunciation to the people of the aurthern kingdom, to the great sancbu'tries of,Bethel and Samaria with their throngs of holiday makers and worshipers. Very simply he makes it clear, in a number of chal- lenging questions (3: 1-8), that his right to speak comes to him from the compelling voice of God. "The lion habit roared, who will not fear? the Lord God hath spoken, who can but prophesy?” Compare 7e 14-15. II. HIS MESSAGE TO THE NATIONS, 1:2 to 2:16. We may imagine 'this first speech of Amos to have been delivered at Bethel, and quite possible all his speeches at the same sanctuary. Tinder the pat- ronage. of the king, the sanctuary at Bethel had. become rich, and its priest- hood powerful but corrupt. It was a dangerous place in which .to speak boldly against the evils of the time. Amos began tactfully by denouncing the crimes of the nations round about —Damascus, the Syrian capital; Gaza, chief city of the Philistines; Tyre, mistress of the western sea; the slave trading Edomites, with their never -ceasing enmity against their kinsfolk of Judah and Israel; and Ammon and Moab, guilty of revolting and horrible barbacities in war. All these he accuses of crimes against the common laws of humanity, and warns that a terrible punishment is coming which the Lord will not turn away from thetn. In particular and at greater length he devils upou the sins of the people to whom he is speaking—their heart- less enslaving of the poor, their crimes against justice as well as 'against common decency; their disregard of the ancient laws.

For., Amos de- clared, Israel's peculiar privilege and honor as a chosen people involved a heavier- obligation and a certain visi- tation of punishment, see 3: 1-2, and compare 9: 7. M. HIS PLEADING WITH ISRAEL, 4:4- 13; 5:1-27. ' Amos has seen am elaborate cere- monial ef worship at Bethel and how little it has to do with righteousness. Ironically he bids the people to "come 10 Betl.el and transgress; to Gilgal and multiply transgression." He re- calls tragic events of the recent paet which should have led them to tepene- anw, but by which they have not profited. A greater calamity is com- ing in which they will meet their offended God. But even 3-1 ,destruc- tion may be averted. He pleads with them to turn from iniquity and to seek the Lord, 5: 1-15. In one of the finest passages of prophecy he represents the Lord as rejecting the ritual of sacrifice'feast, and long, and as say- ing, "Let justice roll down as waters, and righteousn eee as a mighty stream.'

Actually the whole issue is clearly defined in the British Constitutional. law of succession, but few seem to know how this would work out in actuality. The line of succession to the Crown, of Great Britain at the present m.o. ment can be explainea very clearly,. • First, of course, comes the Prince of • Wales, As he is unmarried the next in line is the Duke of York. It is here that a very interesting and romantic position arises. For the time being the succession right goes on to the lit- tle Princess Elizabeth, but should a son he born to the Duke and Duchess, although he would be younger than the Princess, he would not merely stand before her in the right to the throne, but actually he would exercise the potentiality of diverting the hue to au enormous degree, as will be ex- plained later. What May Happen Should another daughter be added to the family of the Duke and Duchess of York and there be no sop, the Prin- cess Elizabeth will remain the direct heiress to the throne in her own right. That is always providing of course, that thelPrince of Wales does not marry and have a family. 'That muck desired condition of things would, should it happily happen, again divert the line into an entirely new channel, Following the Princess Elizabeth at gpit'veesue:it in the direct line are the Duke of Gloucester, Prince George, Princess Mary and her eldest son, now the young Viscount Gascelles, in the order There is a good deal of misunder- standing as to the position of rrincees Mary to the throne. Many people ap- pear to think that she slould come be- fore the Princess Elizabeth. But at, - cording to the definite law of eiliCee,1- slot' the right passes to "the heirs n successors." It Is because of this clause that the birth of any royal baby le of swat im- mense importance constitutionally. Each such birth creates the Nisei bility of this succession branching off at an entirely new tangent. Thus, should the Prince of Wales marry, any and every child of such a union would rank in precedence to every other member of the Royal family. Again should the eldest son of the -Prince of Wales marry, it would he his children, who would once more alter the position and place the re- maining members of the Prince of Wales' family several steps away from the throne. It is in this way that the Princess May could only succeed to the throne in the event or the Duice of York's family dying without direct issue and both the • Duke of Gloucester and Prince George dying childless. In both the cases of the Duchess of York and Lord Harewood their posi- tion could only be that of Royal Con - son with no right of any kind per- sonally. Even a Commoner Perhaps the most interesting fact In this connection is that i1 is now poss- ible by Constitutional Law for even a "commoner" to be a poteutial King or Queen ot England in his or her own right. This has only been possible since 1917, when Ring George by spe- cial Proclamation changed the name of the royal house to Windsor and created the alteration in the law by which' in future the title of Prince or Princess should only be used by child- ren of the sons of the King. Thus when Princess Mary's son was only plain Master George Lascelles he was still in the line of succession, but was not allowed to take on any special title. He Is now Viscount Lascelies only by reason of being heir to his father's title of Earl of Harewood. There is also the outstanding in- staitco of the eldest son of Prince and Princess Arthur of Connaught. He is strictly a "commoner," although both Isto parents have royal titles. Ite the case ot a female she can only succeed to the throne after all her brothers, but she has a superior right over the brothers of the Ring.
