I wouldn't make a fool of myself ' by drinking more than I could stand. Tad recognize . the dan- ger point whenit loomed ahead and stop right there, pronto. 7f three drinks found me launch- ing into risque stories, I'd stop at two. If two made me think I was Dpuglas Fairbanks, leaping overthe piano or draping myself over the chandelier, I'd cell a halt at one, If one drink made me tell the story ef my life to the first person who'd lis- ten, I'd hop on the water wagon en- tirely-and stay there. A man who can't hold his liquor is na prize to, a girl. Some can drink and get away with, it -others can't. ;et pcilatu, etetr'tvlit �t'itk Q17£" stiuet of any kind, adds two hundred calories to tliccount, When candied they count one hundred cl ex -I a for the butter and filly oxtra for the brown sugar, bringing up one apparently harmless little candied Potato to a total count of three linn- dred and fifty, Think TF•IAT over the next time you want a sweet po- l.;ato, With this very simple list of the caloric value of just three foods, .you can take from five hundred to one thousand caloric counts • from your daily diet without any trouble or dis- conifiture at all, When one stops to consider that one pound of fat on the body app- roximates .four thousand calories, one can see that the elimination of one thousand calories ,from the daily diet prevents one from taking approxi- mately one and three quarter pounds of fat into the 'System in one week. By depriving' the system of this fat making food, the excess fat . will be drawn on, and that is when reduc- I'd find out which class I belonged tion begins; to and 1d dole out my poison ac- cordingly • IF I WERE A GIRL— (By jack) , 1 wouldn't be a "yes" girl. I wouldn't agree with everything the Boy Friend said, or play too heavily en the wifey note: "Of course you. are right darling. There is nothing like monotony to take the spice frown life, acid the over -agreeable girl is as exhila-ating as a nice soft sofa cush- ion. I'd have a mind of my own occa- sionally and I. wouldn't be afraid to express it. If a man asked. me what I wanted to do, I'd tell him; or if he asked me which show I'd like:to see, •1'd have a preference. "What- ever you want," as a constant re- frain is apt to pall upon the:ntascu- line ear, while a little opposition, judiciously placed, adds to the thrill and excitement of the game. I wouldn't be too willing if I want- ed to .hold my man. An occasional "No" is often worth a dozen "lYesses." REDUCING BY THE CALORIE METHOD (13v Josephine Huddleston) Having recently ,published in this column, a list of foods and calorie value, is has since occured to me that.I might makeup a simple list telling just how to cut one thous- and calories a day from your menu without unbalancing your diet. If you want to reduce by the cal- orie route, it is done by cutting down on the amount of calories taken each day. l:f you want to lose a few pounds take off five hundred calories, if you have to lose quite a little, cut tiff one thousand calories for the first month or sit weeks, then. becontent with taking off five hundred. i3ut be C careful that you knowyour .tate of health' before starting any reducing campaign. 1 One small lump of sugar contain;; twenty-five calories. That means fif- ty calories for the averagecup of tc•a or coffee. Taken . three times 'each day, this, of course totals one ht�a -tared and fifty calories. White lai't�]ad is the next easiest thing to Eli,laine' from the diet and when or(e considers that a very thin slice co:tinte one hundred calories, one c tunckIy sees the saving of from three L,. to sit hundred calories each day if white 'bread is taken from the menu: Then. comes the matter of pota- toes, The average sized potato sup- plies one hundred calories. If eaten with only half a tablespoon of butter that same potato adds up to one ltnlreaand fifty calories. A scant chirut of creamed potatoes goes tip to : two hundred 'and fifty calorics NEW YEARS RECEPTIONS (13y Marjorie Adams) It used to be the custom for ev- eryone:to hold an informal reception on New Years Day. However, in the rush and bustle of present day existence, it has become much less universal and has been forgotten in many places. This method of enter- tainging is so simple that is seems to me that more people ought to use it.:, Because of the ease with which the entertainment and refreshments. may be provided the hostess may do it with charm and grace. The best hours for such an affair are from four to half past seven or. may evensetas late as six o'- clocke e be clock If a large number. of guests are expected. the .hostess may asic two of her frineds to assist her in serving. If the house is large enough card 'tables may be set up and bowls of dried fruits, apples, nuts,: and candies provided for those who prefer to sit and converse with their friends. Arranging the Table Tea or coffee urns may stand at either end of the dining room table and plates of thin sandwiches, tiny cakes and patties niay be placed be- tween. Napkins, cups arid plates may be on this table or on another pro- vided for them. Bowls of punch or ice water may standaboutthe roams. It is surprising hcw popular a gath- erirtg of this type will be for there is no strain upon the hostess an hew guests. Everyone will be able t-o.fol-. low his own inclinations : in the mat- ter of anausemtns and no one will be neglected. if a radio or victrola is available space may be set aside for dancing. For the average home this latter may not be practical` be- cause of the room required and' it• is, not at all necessary for the sueeess of the party.

No doubt they are glad of a change in diet. Even in summer, however, they consume much aspen, and even when uslug other plants. This seems to show that they really prefer aspen. Aspen bark is eyidently'the staple and perhaps the exielusive food of the beaver in winter' here, though some willow may. be used. On Sept. 4, 1921, aspen boughs were found stor- ed in a pond at the Elk Creek Bench Colony, the only winter food storage noted up to that date during the two Seasons' study. It is very unlikely that any conifers are stored In the ponds for winter ' use. Aspen boughs and sprouts are a common summer •food also in the Yancey regions; sprouts or seedlings a foot or two high were frequently found cut, the leaves and tender wood, as well as the bark, apparently being eaten. While preferring well -drained soil, the aspen comes in ahead ef other trees along streams and moist runs harmonizing with the beaver's adapt- ation to a water environment.. Under normal wilderness conditions, where the predatory mammals are not un- duly restricted, :the beaver cannot safely harvest trees beyond one cr two hundredfeet from its home pond, or stream. The destruction of its. chief food tree is :limited to that ex- tent, and as aspen reproduces itself readily, by sprouting, the new crop starts at once and grows relatively fast, Where aspen trees are now scarce the beavers are using the bark of coni+fers, particularly Douglas fir. J'ACKO" AT LONDON ZOO. First Ape of His Kind to Arrive There. .A Gibraltar Rock ape bas recently arrived at, the : London Zoo, having made the journey from Gibraltar on board the Fleet Auxiliary Bacchus, For many years the people. of his. native place have been trying to catch the young rascal, but they have only just succeeded, and then it was a smaller' monkey which did the trick Jacko was out after an early breakfast, and some gunners had pre- pared a brag for him. it had been there for some time, but never be- fore had this, knowing ape followed the trail of nuts which led to the cage—and when he did the gunner on duty was asleep:! .A small monkey was accompanying Jacko, however„ and the little accom- plice unwittingly led the way into the trap, followed by his big friend. Olece there the little monkey scampered oast through. the bars and the door slammed, Jacko was caught. But the large grey ape which has come to live :in. London had his full share of fun while he was tree_ Re was the leader of the tribe (there are only a Yew left fru Gibraltar,, icer they have had to be shot owing to thein mischievous; habits), and he was ceutainly a very bad exaaupte. One day Jacko ;broke into an offi- cer.'s wife's bedroom_ and played havoc with. her diressing-table;, finally mak- 0 offwith k- ing . a mirror.

He was told' what an. important- man: the Minister was and that ithad only taken them two hours to come in, The chief wasn't impressed.. "But think of it," he was told, perhaps indiffer- ent n.different words, "it only took. them two, hours." "Sure," he said. "Why.' ail'. the hurry?" Inhis few years of being a. mem- ber of the Provincial Parliament Mr. Finlayson has become widely .known and popular over the whole province. His manner, different from the ordi- nary run of politician, and obvious` interest in anything for the benefit of the country, has won him many friends. He is not a brilliant speaker. When. he stands up •he starts to talk, as: if; to a friend. He makes statements he con- viction. is sure of and with- co viction. 'No matter who asks him for'. anything he listens earefully, if- he can do anything he does it, ifi he can't he says so and the matter ends there_ Few men in any party have gone ahead as rapidly as this Minister. He was elected to the Provincial Legis- lature by the riding of East Simeoe in 1923. In that year•he was chair- man of the public accounts commit- tee, the next session he headed the municipal committee. At first he had not been popular, for some unknown reason, with the 'other members. This changed, however. From the first day he entered the House he was interested in the, De- partment of Lauds and Forests, with the result that he was chosen as. Minister of this Department in Octo- ber,. 1926. Northern development is also a branch of his work, and to be able to firmly understarid what it was all about he went into the north country and studied conditions per- sonally. He has been an ardent booster of the north ever since. "You can never spend ,money to such an' advantage as in the north," he says. Hon. Mr. Finlayson is the son of Alexander and Annie Finlayson. He was born in Brantford. ixf 1875. He was educated in Wellesley Public School, Jarvis Collegiate and Osgoode Hall. He read law, and was calledto the Bar in. 1898. He tent to Midland and entered in- to partnership with the late Senator Bennet_ He married Ethel Sinclair, daughter. of I3,. F.
