It t absolute By Marie Anne Des necessary. You may keep on just as you are doing f you wish, but a fasting clay performs good work, It shrinks the stomach and beeps clear out impurities and then of course it shaves off a few extra ounce So if you intend to be Meme some day, and are not very busily'eugaged, go on a milk diet for 24 hours, That is when meal time comes, take only a glass of intik three times a day with a glass of warm milk before retiring at night, If you take whole >milk le counts 160x4 800 calories, while skim` milk, which is just as good for you only minus the fart will count 80x4:320 calories. ,Pe' haps you do not like milk. Fruit ]trice is just as good; one small glass for each meal, or eat the fresh -fruit. It might be well to put in a warn- ing arning here. One day of fasting does not menu two or three. You must not be- come too ambitious. It doesn't pay. Things worth -chile are not gained in a day. The one food diet canuot be indulged in for long because you would not' get the proper amounts of. protein, carbouhydrates, mineral and vitamins. It is interesting ta know you are getting all these products in the proper proportions without the necessity of having to count them, if you eat just the common, wholesome, daily foods, comprising some of the meats, bread and dairy products with lots of fruit ami vegetables. You do need to count the calories, though, foi it is the calories which have'made you abnormal in weight. Then this priu- ciple of using *milky vegetables and foods is fine for quieting hunger pange and is a healthy diet apart from weight reduction. If a great excess of fat has been carried around an ab- dominal belt, adjusted as the weight comes down, will give comfort. Then as one becomes a,'r•ustonied to the diet a gradual feeling of increased pep and vitality will result. At a recent medi- cal conference, It was decided that in securing nermal weight without injury to health or appearance, serious changes in the daily nems should not occur. Do not follow fads, A well bal- auced diet utay not always bring health, but health is impossible with- out correct diet.

Great Bear Lake Scenery The eastern part of Great Bear Lake in the Mackenzie district of the Northwest Territories, Canada, is a magnificent system of fiords and land- locked channels, not unlike the west coast of Norway. At a meeting of a rural district council re deputation of farmers ask- ed to be received. They wished to complain about the state of a main road just outside the village. They found, however, that their arguments were not received very favorably, At last the chairman managed to get a word in. "Look here," he said, "the road is fairly good as a whole." "Yes," replied the spokesman of the party, "but we want to use it as aroad." Sunday Lesson October 19. Lesson III—Simeon and Anna (The Insight of the Pure in Heart)—Luke 2: 2549.

JI, DWELLING IN THE HOUSE OP GOD, I Luke 2: 36-39; INTRODUCTION—In every age the um ion of intelligent piety and right iiv Mpg has produced tt.e highest type of character. Nothing better :an be said of any ratan than that he is "right- eous and devout" The'Greeks under- stood this es well as the Jews and it is Plato who says "Man should strive f.. God -likeness through virtue, and be holy, righteous and wise like God." Thus a modern Jewish write; of high standing describers the 'deal of holi- ness • oli-ness: "It aims to hallow every pursu*t and endeavor, ail social relations and activities, insisting only on a puee motive and disinterested service. As the Ruler of life is the source of all morality so all of life should be made holy with duty." I. INSTRUCTED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, Luke 2: 23-35. The best men among the Jews be - bre the coming of Chrigt had learned to believe that God, though invisible, was everywhere present, and especial- ly in and with the men whom he had chosen to render important service to their fellows. And to they, regard- ed every extraordinary gift of cour- age, or skill, or insigh., or wise judg- ment, as coming from hi . It was his presence that made Joshua strong and of a good courage, Jeih. 1: 5-9. the skilled workmen on the fine work of the sanctuary- in the wilderness were filled "with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all marine: of work- manship; and - to devise cunning works, to work 'n gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in cutting f stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all manner of cunning work- manship," Exod, 35: 30-36: 2. The knowledge and skill of the farmer in ploughing and sowing, reaping, threshing, and grinding :"cometh forth from the Lord of hosts, who is wondsTful in counsel and excellent in ---isdom," Isa. 28: 23-29. ; But in a very special sense ;hey held it to be true that the gifts of prophet and seer were gifts bestowed by the spirit of God, See, for example, what is said of Samuel (1 Sam. 3: 19-4: 1),of Elisha (2 Kings 6:17)., of Isaiah 6: 8, 9), of Jeremiah (1: 4-10). In look- ing into the future the prophet sees a perfect and glorious king of David's line marvelously endowed with the spirit of God with the qualities neces- sary for his high office, Isa. 11: 1-5, So also upon the prophetic teacher hose work is to prepare the minds of men for the conning of his kingdom of the spirit will the spirit of the Lord rest, Isa. 61: 1-3. The priest, too, if he is true to his covenant bond, re- ceives and bears his message from the Lord, Malachi 2: 4-7. Simeon, a "righteous and devout u'.att, himself instructed in mind and heart by the Holy Spirit, was one of those who looked for the fulfilment of that ancient hope, and he had been led by a vision to believe that it would be fulfilled in his own Lifetime. By the title "the Lords Christ," that is ""the Lt,rd's anointed one" the writer means the long expected king and deliverer who it was hoped would restore the throne and kingdom of David and would bringin the golden ,'ge of jua- tice and of univer rl peace. For the expression "the consolation gf Israel," compare Iso. 40: 1; 57: 18;• 61: 1. By serine rare insight' give to this good man, no doub by the Spirit of God, he recognized in the child. brought by his parents into the temple the child of his vision, the coming king and saviour of his people, who would, according to prophecy, bear light and salvation to the whole world. "A light t . lighten the Gentiles, And the glory of thy people Israe' " Ira. 42; 8: 49: 6. II. DWELLING IN THE.. HOUSE OF GOD, Luke 2: 36-39. Anna represents another bt t closely related' type of piety. At a great age she still finds her one comfort and joy in the worship of the sanctuary. Its great traditions, its sacred memories itssacrificial symbols, its solemn mu- sic, all ;peak to her of. God, the Lord of hosts, Israel's Xing, unfailing source of all that is good and great in life. Simeon foresees eTeat ohanges which will take place with the growth of this child to manhood, changes in- *-oiving sore trouble to those nearest Ito hint; which will reveal the secrets of men's hearts. Anna is content te praise God for the coming of the new nee of salvation, which she, too, be- lieves is at hand. Unique Fair Is Held at Frankfurt One of tate strangest fairs In the world is held at the German town of Frankfm't every year; Nottingham has its goose fair, and in outer cities there are mop fairs and fur fairs. But Frankfurt goes one better than any of these by holding an insect fair. Collectors come Pram all parts of the world to meet sellers of rare butter- flies and moths. Some of these' are worth amazing sums. There are Wren, too, offering and disposing of beetles, flies, grasshoppers, crickets, and so on. Most of the vendors bring their stock withthemand display the beau- ties of their specimens to inquirers. There are many, however, who do business in quite a different way. They have no stock with them; they sell insects, so to speak, on the hoof, just as American cattlemen will sell beasts that are a thouand miles away on the ranges. These sellers of queer insects specialize in knowing just where the rarest kinds are to be found. Along comes a collector who asks if a particular specimen can be obtained for him. Though the one which will eventually grace his cabin- ets is not yet born; the order is booked and in due course the specimen is de- livered. A—"That fellow has a cast in his eye." B—"That's because he is a theatrtcal manager." "But, dad, Zack has got character. You can read it in his eyes." Father: "Then, Beatrice, I've just blackened his character."

The farmers catch large numbers of these mud eels, which are different from ordinary eels in that they are flattened from s'de to side in. stead of being rounded. "These mud eels are interesting to scientists because they possess char- acteristics that are generally supposed to belong to very different gr ups of fishes," says Mr. Wood.

The contrast with the "Venus" statuette previously found at Willendorf, in Austria, is remark- able, that figure betng.marked by enor- mous fatness of the torso and hips• The reasons which induced prehis- toric men to carve these feminine statuettes are unkuown,,but if the ob- ject was to depict ideal beauty, the ideals of the ancient Willendorfians and the ancient inhabitants of Irkutsk must have been very different.

Now, at 76, looking back -on it all, ane is still glad that she made the. choice. And behind it all' lies a most un- usual love story—the, story of a young English girl w°ho gave up a kb amid, luxury with Europoar royalty to ea - fel. hardships in a' pioneer section of Amdrica with the man she loved. From the royal palace of England to the Dakota cabin was a long step- especially in 1887,when settlers were scarce and homesteaders had to under: go all of the hardS'iips Of pioneer life. But Mrs. Williams, who made the step, because the man she loved had made it, has never regretted it; and today she and her husband, agree that she chose wisely. Mrs, Williams. grew up in London. as Marie Downingan apprentica girl in a sewing shop. 'Becoming lady's main to Queen Victoriai0i, she. speedily became' a favorite with the Queen, and was her personal attendant for years..

He begged her to follow him and she planned to do so, but Queen Victoria induced her to stay in England for a wine. The Queen gave the gir' a num- ber of gifts, including some diamonds, which she promptly sold so as to get. rr oney with .which she and a ry Wil- Hams could buy lane in the western. 1 sited States.

Her' Majesty presented her vith trunks .packed with linens laces, ilks and gowns worn by herself, and with a set of sterling silver table- ware as well. The girl brought these with her. At last, having crossed the ocean and half of the American continent, he girl got off a train at Minnewau- kan, N.D., in midwinter, to be met here by Williams, They were mar- led at once, and then, :n an open leigh drawn by one horse, they drove 00 miles, in weather that was 40 elow zero, to the site of their future home. When they got there the bride found hat their log cabin was not yet com- leted, and they had to live at a neigh - ors home for a tune. But Mrs. Wil - lams was ready for a pioneers life— r she often proved later, by mowing 00 tons of prairie hay unaided, or by tacking the wheat lot ndles pitched to er by her husband. After returnipg from a visit to Eng - and in 1909, Mn and Mrs. Williams eased their farm and took over a •oonting house here.
